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

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

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

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

the_o character_n of_o a_o proud_a and_o cruel_a coward_n 5._o i_o believe_v most_o man_n conclude_v that_o the_o emperor_n do_v very_o prudent_o in_o retire_v from_o vienna_n upon_o the_o enemy_n advance_v thereby_o secure_v his_o own_o sacred_a person_n and_o i_o confess_v the_o safety_n of_o the_o prince_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o high_a importance_n but_o yet_o sometime_o wise_a prince_n do_v lay_v aside_o the_o thought_n of_o
secure_v their_o own_o person_n when_o all_o lie_v at_o stake_n for_o in_o such_o case_n the_o place_n of_o great_a danger_n be_v the_o place_n where_o the_o prince_n shall_v be_v the_o emperor_n otho_n do_v absolute_o ruin_v his_o affair_n by_o secure_v his_o person_n and_o by_o avoid_v present_a danger_n do_v fall_v into_o a_o total_a and_o final_a destruction_n if_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n have_v retire_v from_o copenhagen_n when_o it_o be_v set_v upon_o by_o the_o swede_n he_o may_v have_v secure_v his_o person_n but_o he_o have_v lose_v both_o his_o city_n and_o his_o kingdom_n whereas_o by_o his_o presence_n and_o personal_a gallantry_n he_o preserve_v all_o and_o sure_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o withdraw_n of_o the_o emperor_n do_v much_o weaken_v vienna_n from_o whence_o above_o threescore_o thousand_o people_n be_v say_v to_o have_v retire_v or_o flee_v upon_o that_o occasion_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o most_o of_o these_o be_v a_o unwarlike_a multitude_n i_o will_v admit_v they_o be_v but_o have_v the_o emperor_n stay_v every_o man_n and_o almost_o every_o woman_n will_v have_v be_v a_o soldier_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o imperial_a majesty_n moreover_o it_o have_v then_o be_v easy_a to_o defend_v the_o island_n of_o st._n leopold_n whereby_o the_o passage_n over_o the_o danube_n have_v be_v keep_v open_a and_o

than_o if_o he_o have_v be_v lay_v up_o in_o a_o place_n which_o the_o enemy_n may_v have_v begird_v on_o all_o side_n 6._o some_o think_v that_o the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n notwithstanding_o the_o

first_o mention_v the_o duke_n place_v himself_o as_o have_v be_v relate_v but_o he_o depart_v thence_o when_o the_o grand_a visier_n come_v up_o with_o his_o whole_a army_n which_o be_v seven_o or_o

silesia_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o empire_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v have_v receive_v supply_n of_o every_o thing_n we_o need_v this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o besiege_a who_o afterward_o feel_v those_o hard_a ship_n that_o be_v bring_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o quit_n of_o that_o place_n but_o however_o we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o reason_n that_o move_v the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n to_o hasten_v his_o departure_n thence_o if_o the_o author_n know_v those_o sufficient_a reason_n he_o do_v not_o well_o to_o conceal_v they_o for_o it_o high_o concern_v the_o duke_n honour_n that_o satisfaction_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o all_o man_n in_o this_o matter_n whereas_o now_o many_o remain_v unsatisfied_a for_o the_o duke_n of_o

and_o all_o have_v be_v full_a of_o terror_n and_o confusion_n thus_o the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n be_v fair_o invite_v by_o his_o victory_n to_o raise_v his_o siege_n which_o also_o he_o shall_v

country_n leave_v buda_n behind_o he_o with_o such_o a_o garrison_n in_o it_o may_v have_v be_v of_o fatal_a consequence_n that_o buda_n must_v first_o be_v take_v to_o open_v the_o way_n to_o other_o

far_o off_o and_o on_o the_o same_o side_n the_o river_n but_o where_o there_o be_v such_o choice_n of_o place_n to_o fall_v upon_o it_o be_v the_o use_n of_o skilful_a general_n to_o learn_v the_o condition_n of_o each_o place_n and_o to_o fall_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v worst_a provide_v for_o all_o place_n can_v be_v provide_v alike_o and_o sure_o have_v the_o duke_n be_v mind_v to_o do_v the_o easy_a thing_n first_o he_o may_v always_o have_v be_v do_v the_o easy_a thing_n or_o to_o speak_v plain_a he_o may_v have_v find_v all_o thing_n easy_a whereas_o now_o by_o attempt_v the_o

before_o but_o have_v the_o duke_n fall_v upon_o likely_a thing_n he_o will_v in_o all_o probability_n have_v find_v no_o great_a resistance_n any_o where_o than_o he_o find_v at_o grand_fw-mi which_o we_o know_v be_v very_o little_a there_o be_v therefore_o no_o necessity_n for_o the_o duke_n to_o fall_v upon_o buda_n since_o the_o country_n be_v wide_a enough_o and_o he_o may_v go_v either_o to_o the_o right_a
of_o shame_n what_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n therefore_o of_o this_o strange_a slack_a conduct_n at_o this_o time_n if_o the_o thing_n be_v well_o examine_v it_o will_v be_v find_v to_o proceed_v
