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 from_o the_o jesuit_n who_o we_o know_v have_v a_o great_a ascendant_n over_o that_o court._n they_o have_v several_a time_n betray_v the_o emperor_n and_o now_o they_o think_v fit_a in_o requital_n to_o betray_v the_o french_a king_n and_o to_o sacrifice_v his_o interest_n to_o they_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o their_o order_n that_o the_o emperor_n shall_v make_v great_a conquest_n by_o who_o favour_n he_o be_v their_o fast_a friend_n they_o may_v well_o hope_v to_o have_v many_o new_a college_n and_o some_o new_a province_n of_o jesuit_n which_o plain_o will_v be_v much_o to_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o society_n and_o though_o this_o may_v bring_v ruin_n to_o their_o great_a patron_n of_o france_n on_o who_o the_o emperor_n will_v in_o all_o likelihood_n turn_v his_o victorious_a force_n they_o do_v not_o value_v it_o the_o thing_n they_o mind_n be_v the_o interest_n of_o their_o order_n and_o this_o seem_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o french_a king_n do_v let_v slip_v this_o golden_a opportunity_n of_o make_v himself_o the_o universal_a monarch_n 4._o of_o all_o the_o mediator_n that_o labour_v in_o this_o peace_n of_o flanders_n the_o dutch_a do_v

by_o the_o loss_n of_o flanders_n they_o must_v be_v certain_o ruin_v the_o french_a be_v resolve_v to_o have_v a_o limb_n of_o it_o that_o be_v the_o town_n of_o luxenburg_n and_o the_o spaniard_n be_v resolve_v to_o lose_v all_o rather_o than_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n but_o they_o take_v little_a care_n and_o make_v little_a provision_n for_o their_o defence_n and_o seem_v to_o cast_v that_o whole_o upon_o the_o hollander_n as_o make_v account_n that_o the_o preservation_n of_o flanders_n do_v concern_v holland_n more_o than_o spain_n and_o now_o be_v the_o emperor_n engage_v

the_o heroic_a prince_n of_o orange_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o state_n be_v full_o determine_v to_o hazard_v all_o rather_o than_o the_o french_a shall_v get_v flanders_n moreover_o these_o

to_o its_o fatal_a period_n it_o may_v safe_o be_v affirm_v that_o their_o affair_n be_v in_o a_o worse_a posture_n when_o the_o french_a besiege_v luxenburg_n then_o when_o some_o year_n before_o they_o be_v possess_v of_o vtrecht_n but_o out_o of_o this_o grievous_a labyrinth_n they_o extricate_v themselves_o to_o admiration_n for_o by_o great_a patience_n art_n and_o industry_n they_o at_o

a_o terrible_a storm_n as_o never_o do_v any_o people_n sustain_v and_o endure_v the_o like_a the_o roman_n put_v a_o high_a value_n upon_o themselves_o for_o that_o when_o hannibal_n lie_v on_o the_o

that_o be_v quite_o too_o strong_a for_o they_o though_o most_o of_o their_o country_n be_v over_o run_v and_o subdue_v and_o to_o save_v the_o rest_n they_o be_v fain_o to_o lay_v a_o good_a part_n of_o it_o under_o water_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o have_v a_o dreadful_a concussion_n within_o themselves_o have_v with_o violence_n change_v their_o government_n not_o only_o into_o

thing_n have_v be_v proper_a for_o his_o master_n the_o great_a sultan_n to_o do_v the_o first_o be_v to_o go_v to_o the_o hungarian_a war_n in_o person_n the_o occasion_n be_v so_o important_a and_o all_o his_o fortune_n lie_v now_o at_o stake_n how_o can_v he_o expect_v that_o other_o shall_v fight_v for_o he_o if_o he_o will_v not_o fight_v for_o himself_o and_o how_o can_v he_o trust_v his_o empire_n and_o the_o very_o be_v of_o the_o ottoman_a race_n in_o other_o man_n hand_n and_o to_o the_o conduct_n of_o other_o and_o himself_o lie_v lurk_v among_o his_o concubine_n his_o presence_n will_v have_v give_v life_n and_o vigour_n to_o his_o affair_n and_o raise_v up_o the_o spirit_n of_o his_o dismay_v and_o droop_a subject_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o office_n so_o proper_a to_o a_o prince_n and_o wherein_o he_o appear_v so_o glorious_a as_o to_o lead_v his_o people_n to_o battle_n the_o other_o thing_n be_v that_o if_o he_o can_v not_o go_v himself_o he_o will_v take_v care_n that_o he_o that_o do_v go_v in_o chief_a shall_v be_v invest_v and_o irradiate_v with_o the_o high_a authority_n or_o to_o speak_v plain_a that_o none_o less_o than_o the_o grand_a visier_n shall_v be_v general_n in_o that_o war._n so_o that_o if_o the_o grand_a visier_n be_v not_o the_o very_o fit_a to_o be_v general_n he_o that_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v general_n be_v to_o be_v make_v grand_a visier_n for_o this_o be_v not_o a_o time_n to_o advance_v favourite_n but_o to_o employ_v the_o best_a man_n to_o most_o advantage_n the_o want_n of_o the_o sultan_n presence_n will_v have_v be_v make_v up_o in_o good_a measure_n by_o the_o presence_n of_o so_o great_a a_o officer_n his_o army_n on_o which_o all_o depend_v will_v have_v be_v better_o supply_v be_v supply_v by_o he_o that_o command_v it_o and_o the_o general_n himself_o will_v have_v be_v better_o follow_v and_o obey_v have_v the_o full_a power_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n we_o know_v the_o roman_n in_o time_n of_o extreme_a danger_n make_v dictator_n with_o absolute_a power_n ferdinand_n the_o second_o have_v never_o stop_v the_o swedish_n torrent_n which_o then_o be_v very_o impetuous_a if_o he_o have_v not_o give_v absolute_a power_n to_o walstein_n his_o generalissimo_n it_o seem_v therefore_o a_o mistake_n in_o the_o great_a sultan_n here_o that_o he_o commit_v this_o so_o important_a service_n to_o a_o underling_n general_n not_o give_v he_o authority_n suitable_a to_o the_o

baraques_n here_o as_o we_o find_v they_o have_v be_v force_v to_o do_v at_o newhausel_n also_o they_o may_v here_o have_v have_v victual_n and_o forage_v as_o before_o have_v be_v note_v almost_o as_o convenient_o as_o in_o austria_n itself_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o easy_a conveyance_n down_o the_o river_n and_o some_o they_o will_v have_v get_v out_o of_o the_o country_n command_v it_o far_o and_o wide_o then_o as_o to_o profit_n and_o advantage_n this_o bridge_n with_o these_o intrenchment_n will_v have_v make_v large_a amends_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o vicegrad_v for_o the_o not_o

with_o the_o force_n within_o it_o will_v have_v cover_v all_o that_o large_a tract_n of_o good_a land_n lie_v behind_o it_o towards_o grand_fw-mi it_o will_v have_v drive_v the_o turkish_a garrison_n into_o corner_n and_o harrass_v all_o the_o open_a country_n forward_o almost_o as_o far_o as_o the_o drive_v on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o quite_o to_o the_o tey_n on_o the_o other_o it_o may_v have_v be_v the_o mastricht_n of_o hungary_n that_o be_v may_v have_v do_v the_o christian_n here_o as_o much_o service_n as_o mastricht_n do_v to_o the_o french_a while_n they_o hold_v it_o the_o

or_o annoy_v they_o moreover_o the_o christian_n by_o the_o help_n of_o this_o bridge_n so_o fortify_v will_v have_v be_v in_o a_o brave_a posture_n to_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n next_o spring_n these_o advantage_n the_o christian_n may_v have_v have_v if_o they_o will_v have_v take_v some_o pain_n to_o procure_v they_o but_o it_o be_v too_o true_o observe_v of_o they_o that_o in_o all_o this_o war_n they_o have_v be_v very_o spare_v of_o their_o labour_n whereas_o the_o roman_n of_o old_a and_o the_o french_a of_o late_a have_v owe_v their_o success_n as_o well_o to_o their_o hard_a labour_n as_o to_o their_o money_n their_o skill_n and_o their_o valour_n before_o i_o leave_v this_o imaginary_a bridge_n i_o must_v answer_v a_o objection_n concern_v it_o which_o be_v this_o it_o be_v make_v a_o chief_a end_n of_o have_v here_o a_o great_a strength_n of_o man_n that_o they_o may_v distress_v and_o starve_v buda_n themselves_o be_v the_o while_n supply_v by_o the_o danube_n but_o since_o buda_n stand_v upon_o the_o danube_n likewise_o why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v as_o well_o supply_v the_o same_o way_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o wide_a difference_n in_o that_o provision_n etc._n etc._n must_v come_v up_o against_o the_o stream_n to_o the_o turk_n whereas_o they_o fall_v down_o the_o stream_n to_o the_o christian_n also_o the_o christian_a country_n upon_o the_o river_n be_v much_o better_o cultivate_v and_o can_v yield_v far_o great_a quantity_n of_o provision_n than_o the_o turkish_a country_n upon_o the_o same_o river_n and_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o turk_n make_v but_o little_a use_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o conveyance_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o christian_n it_o be_v certain_o a_o mighty_a advantage_n to_o the_o christian_a army_n in_o hungary_n that_o not_o only_o the_o danube_n but_o also_o the_o drive_v the_o save_v and_o the_o tey_n bring_v they_o down_o all_o sort_n of_o necessary_n out_o of_o the_o emperor_n country_n 5._o the_o burn_a of_o the_o bridge_n of_o esseck_n be_v a_o fine_a exploit_n perform_v by_o count_n lesley_n who_o have_v deserve_o the_o reputation_n of_o one_o of_o the_o emperor_n be_v best_a commander_n but_o in_o the_o conduct_n of_o this_o affair_n there_o be_v some_o thing_n not_o easy_a to_o be_v apprehend_v in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v carry_v with_o the_o least_o secrecy_n that_o ever_o any_o thing_n be_v the_o gazette_n give_v we_o advice_n from_o virovitza_n what_o count_n lesley_n and_o his_o council_n of_o war_n have_v resolve_v upon_o which_o be_v to_o go_v first_o to_o caniza_n and_o destroy_v the_o country_n about_o it_o thereby_o to_o incommode_v and_o distress_v that_o garrison_n and_o then_o to_o march_v down_o to_o esseck_n with_o design_n to_o ruin_v that_o bridge_n and_o a_o week_n or_o a_o fortnight_n after_o they_o tell_v we_o from_o the_o same_o place_n that_o according_a to_o former_a resolution_n count_n lesley_n have_v be_v at_o caniza_n and_o do_v his_o work_n there_o and_o be_v now_o march_v to_o the_o bridge_n of_o esseck_n who_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o this_o be_v fair_a open_a deal_n and_o play_v aboveboard_n they_o let_v the_o world_n know_v what_o they_o intend_v to_o do_v and_o they_o do_v it_o according_o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o some_o that_o he_o do_v not_o keep_v the_o town_n of_o esseck_n when_o he_o have_v take_v it_o though_o his_o force_n be_v not_o great_a as_o not_o exceed_v six_o thousand_o man_n yet_o there_o

to_o belgrade_n and_o the_o serasquier_n be_v far_o off_o and_o engage_v against_o the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o drive_v over_o which_o he_o have_v no_o passage_n

we_o be_v yet_o to_o learn_v it_o be_v not_o advisable_v to_o keep_v it_o it_o be_v still_o a_o wonder_n he_o do_v not_o do_v something_o else_o there_o be_v not_o a_o man_n in_o the_o field_n to_o oppose_v he_o and_o the_o easy_a take_n of_o esseck_n and_o of_o michalowitz_n in_o his_o march_n thither_o make_v it_o appear_v how_o little_a difficulty_n he_o will_v have_v meet_v with_o in_o
