bavaria_n the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n and_o prince_n waldeck_n who_o rout_n the_o turkish_a army_n and_o relieve_v the_o city_n and_o now_o count_n tecke_o desire_v to_o submit_v upon_o fair_a term_n

must_v be_v confess_v that_o in_o this_o begin_n of_o the_o campagne_n the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n have_v a_o hard_a game_n to_o play_v as_o all_o have_v that_o must_v act_v upon_o the_o defensive_a against_o a_o much_o overmatch_a enemy_n but_o the_o duke_n seem_v to_o have_v dangerous_o mistake_v his_o measure_n in_o choose_v a_o post_n which_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o maintain_v which_o bring_v all_o thing_n to_o the_o utmost_a hazard_n how_o can_v he_o expect_v that_o the_o tartar_n of_o who_o the_o grand_a visier_n have_v thirty_o thousand_o shall_v be_v stop_v by_o a_o small_a short_a river_n that_o make_v it_o their_o practice_n to_o swim_v over_o the_o nieper_n the_o niester_n and_o the_o danube_n nor_o let_v the_o hungarian_n be_v blame_v for_o not_o defend_v the_o pass_n for_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v have_v the_o duke_n strong_o encamp_v under_o the_o wall_n of_o raab_n and_o not_o at_o that_o distance_n he_o do_v which_o be_v seven_o or_o eight_o mile_n as_o he_o have_v cover_v the_o country_n in_o effect_n as_o well_o so_o he_o have_v secure_v his_o army_n much_o better_a and_o perhaps_o he_o have_v do_v best_a to_o have_v post_v himself_o yet_o more_o backward_o what_o though_o some_o frontier_n place_n have_v be_v thereby_o expose_v it_o have_v be_v more_o advisable_a to_o sacrifice_v a_o part_n than_o so_o great_o to_o endanger_v the_o whole_a and_o this_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v the_o sentiment_n of_o the_o marshal_n of_o crequi_n when_o he_o manage_v a_o defensive_a war_n against_o this_o duke_n in_o his_o own_o country_n of_o lorraine_n he_o post_v himself_o at_o once_o upon_o the_o moselle_n leave_v the_o saar_n as_o good_a a_o stream_n as_o the_o raab_n and_o all_o the_o place_n upon_o it_o with_o the_o whole_a country_n between_o those_o two_o river_n open_a to_o the_o invade_a army_n which_o he_o think_v a_o less_o evil_a than_o to_o grasp_v what_o he_o can_v not_o hold_v and_o thereby_o put_v his_o own_o army_n upon_o which_o the_o fortune_n of_o france_n depend_v in_o danger_n of_o a_o hasty_a and_o disgraceful_a retreat_n or_o perhaps_o a_o total_a ruin_n 2._o in_o the_o duke_n retreat_n to_o vienna_n some_o people_n be_v unsatisfied_a with_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v that_o as_o his_o troop_n be_v march_v the_o tartar_n be_v upon_o they_o and_o among_o they_o before_o they_o be_v in_o the_o least_o aware_a of_o it_o which_o they_o think_v can_v not_o be_v if_o the_o duke_n have_v not_o strange_o want_v intelligence_n in_o the_o emperor_n be_v own_o country_n and_o if_o he_o have_v take_v care_n to_o send_v out_o his_o scout_n in_o due_a manner_n and_o thorough_o to_o discover_v the_o way_n by_o which_o he_o be_v to_o march_v as_o cautious_a and_o skilful_a general_n use_v to_o do_v the_o other_o thing_n be_v that_o when_o these_o troop_n be_v get_v to_o vienna_n they_o never_o turn_v their_o face_n towards_o the_o enemy_n but_o lay_v in_o that_o island_n of_o st._n leopold_n as_o it_o be_v without_o life_n and_o soul._n i_o confess_v they_o may_v well_o be_v daunt_v with_o the_o disgrace_n and_o danger_n of_o their_o retreat_n and_o the_o dismal_a condition_n of_o affair_n but_o then_o they_o shall_v have_v be_v make_v to_o recover_v their_o spirit_n by_o some_o successful_a encounter_n of_o which_o there_o be_v fair_a opportunity_n by_o the_o posture_n the_o turk_n be_v in_o who_o come_v up_o in_o scamble_a party_n their_o main_a body_n not_o arrive_v till_o several_a day_n after_o 3._o if_o the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n have_v now_o a_o hard_a game_n sure_o the_o grand_a visier_n have_v a_o easy_a one_o he_o command_v a_o mighty_a force_n which_o have_v nothing_o to_o withstand_v or_o oppose_v it_o the_o christian_a army_n be_v break_v up_o and_o as_o it_o be_v quite_o vanish_v so_o that_o he_o be_v now_o if_o i_o may_v use_v a_o odd_a expression_n like_o a_o lord_n in_o a_o hutch_n he_o may_v turn_v himself_o which_o way_n he_o please_v there_o be_v only_o one_o caution_n to_o be_v use_v that_o whereas_o the_o christian_n have_v main_o provide_v for_o the_o defence_n of_o four_o town_n let_v what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o rest_n he_o will_v for_o the_o present_n forbear_v meddle_v with_o those_o towns._n but_o every_o where_o else_o he_o may_v go_v on_o conquer_a and_o to_o conquer_v no_o other_o place_n be_v capable_a to_o make_v resistance_n a_o few_o example_n of_o barbarous_a cruelty_n towards_o those_o that_o stand_v it_o out_o to_o which_o the_o grand_a visier_n nature_n will_v easy_o have_v incline_v he_o and_o of_o good_a usage_n to_o those_o that_o ready_o yield_v will_v in_o that_o terror_n have_v open_v he_o the_o gate_n of_o all_o those_o place_n and_o in_o humane_a probability_n he_o may_v that_o summer_n have_v subdue_v all_o the_o austrian_a dominion_n on_o the_o south_n side_n the_o danube_n the_o town_n of_o raab_n and_o vienna_n except_v or_o if_o he_o will_v be_v content_a with_o destroy_v the_o open_a country_n he_o may_v have_v do_v it_o so_o thorough_o in_o two_o or_o three_o month_n time_n as_o not_o to_o leave_v a_o house_n stand_v nor_o hardly_o a_o man_n or_o beast_n live_v and_o in_o the_o like_a space_n of_o time_n he_o may_v have_v serve_v bohemia_n so_o too_o and_o other_o part_n of_o germany_n it_o will_v have_v be_v such_o a_o destruction_n as_o never_o be_v since_o the_o time_n of_o attila_n but_o the_o visier_n pride_n and_o folly_n and_o evil_a genius_n make_v he_o leave_v these_o advantage_n and_o these_o certainty_n to_o fall_v upon_o a_o strong_a and_o populous_a city_n that_o have_v a_o army_n in_o garrison_n that_o be_v a_o hundred_o mile_n within_o the_o enemy_n country_n and_o upon_o a_o great_a river_n which_o he_o be_v not_o sure_a nor_o likely_a to_o command_v on_o both_o side_n nothing_o can_v break_v his_o army_n nor_o deliver_v those_o country_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n but_o such_o a_o siege_n 4._o as_o it_o be_v a_o grand_a error_n in_o the_o visier_n to_o undertake_v this_o siege_n so_o he_o commit_v divers_a other_o in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o it_o in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o destroy_v all_o the_o country_n near_o he_o with_o sword_n and_o fire_n by_o which_o mean_v great_a quantity_n of_o provision_n be_v destroy_v that_o shall_v have_v be_v preserve_v for_o the_o

shameful_o stay_v behind_o and_o keep_v at_o a_o distance_n and_o when_o they_o be_v rout_v and_o flee_v he_o flee_v with_o the_o foremost_a as_o fast_o as_o his_o horse_n can_v carry_v he_o without_o

he_o be_v behold_v to_o teckely_n ill_a usage_n by_o the_o turk_n which_o be_v a_o strange_a hit_v to_o caprara_n and_o make_v those_o thing_n smooth_a and_o easy_a to_o he_o which_o may_v otherwise_o

conquest_n those_o they_o have_v with_o they_o be_v hardly_o sufficient_a to_o man_n the_o place_n they_o take_v it_o have_v therefore_o be_v well_o do_v by_o caprara_n if_o he_o have_v send_v a_o good_a supply_n after_o they_o but_o if_o he_o have_v go_v himself_o he_o have_v gain_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o whole_a action_n as_o well_o of_o the_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v do_v before_o his_o

now_o do_v be_v to_o lie_v hatch_n over_o his_o new_a conquest_n of_o caschaw_n and_o to_o put_v his_o man_n in_o winter_n quarter_n and_o this_o last_o he_o do_v soon_o than_o he_o need_v the_o

and_o they_o carry_v their_o army_n to_o the_o far_a part_n of_o morea_n above_o a_o thousand_o mile_n from_o venice_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o they_o do_v their_o work_n here_o very_o
