Newes from Bohemia AN APOLOGIE MADE BY THE STATES of Bohemia in their Defence against the Iesuites WEE the Barons Knights c. of Prage Ruttenbergh Cutna and other Cities of the famous Kingdome of Bohemia that receiue the holy Sacrament of the Supper of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ vnder both kinds and with one minde and consent hold and acknowledge the Bohemian Confession Now at this present assembled in the Castle of Prage both in our owne names and also in the names of those that are absent send greeting or make knowne vnto all men That whereas after many iniuries and calamities practised and done in former yeeres by the meanes and procurements of certaine malicious and turbulent persons not onely Secular but also in title Spirituall as they would pretend specially that pernicious and most dangerous Sect of Iesuites in the Kingdome of Bohemia whose whole practises actions and counsels tend onely and specially by crafty and subtill meanes not onely to bring our Kings soueraigne Maiestie but also the States and all the common people of the said Kingdome that receiue the holy Sacrament of the precious Body and Bloud of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ sub vtraque vnder both kindes into the yoke and subiection of forraine power that is of the Church of Rome not onely by the Estates but also by all others the Inhabitants of the said Kingdome as well in Ciuill as Ecclesiasticall causes sustained and endured In the yeares of our Lord 1609. and 1610. all contentions and controuersies were fully pacifyed and ended and to that end by the Letters Patents of Rodulphus the late Emperours Maiestie of famous Memory as also by consent of both parts that receiue the Sacrament as well sub vna as sub vtraque that is vnder one and vnder both kinds at a generall Assembly or Parliament then made and holden it was firmely agreed vpon and generally confirmed and consented vnto that neither part should from thence-forth trouble grieue or molest one the other but that as well they that receiued sub vna and those that communicated sub altra according to the Vnion made and confirmed betweene them should from thence-forth peaceably and quietly at all times and in all places without interruption either of Spirituall or Temporall Authority freely serue God as by the said Letters Patents Contract and publique Assembly of Parliament holden more at large appeareth The which also his Imperiall Maiestie our Soueraigne King of his great and Princely clemencie at his entry into the raigne of this his Kingdome according to the manner and ancient custome of the Land not onely generally but specially ratified and confirmed Neuerthelesse the aforesaid common enemies as well of the King and this Kingdome as of all peace and quietnesse haue spared no meanes paines nor labour to deuise and practise not onely how and which way they might procure the breach and annihilating of the said most desired and confirmed Peace but also to effect their euill wicked and pernicious purposes and intents secretly practised against this Kingdome and the Inhabitants thereof And to that end when the said Peace and Vnion was fully ratified and confirmed reiecting all other points not onely refused to agree vnto the said Letters Patents and Peace made but also vtterly denyed to subscribe vnto the Amnestia whereby we by the late Emperours Rodulphus of famous memory consent were fully and wholly reconciled together and all reuenge and euill will to surcease and be ended but rather sought by all the meanes they could practise and deuise wholly and altogether to dissolue and exterminate the same and to many men daily shewed their wicked and malicious intent whereas before they were not onely secret but in many causes and actions open enemies vnto this their natiue Country going about to bereaue and take from our present Lord and soueraigne King the assignation of this Kingdome and to trans-fer the same vnto another But when they could not effect the same and their hopes therein were altogether frustrated for that by Gods mercy in his time appointed all things by the commandement of the Emperours Maiestie our soueraigne Lord and King were fully confirmed they proceeded so far through the procurement of the Iesuites and others their adherents againe by many slanderous reports and censures both by word of mouth and writing to publish and proclaime all those in this Kingdome that receiue the Communion vnder both Kindes to be notorious Heretikes with whom according to a maxime of their Papisticall doctrine they are not bound as they teach to keep or hold any faith or promise giuing also diuers other new-fayned and infamous names both vnto vs and the doctrine of the Gospell to the great contempt of our Religion of receiuing vnder both kindes and not onely that but also in their scandalous writings affirme all those that vse the same Religion as also all that are not conformable to the Romish Religion to bee worthy of and to haue deserued all kinde of Infamie and punishment animating the Secular Magistrate with fire and sword to persecute all those that professe the receiuing of the Communion vnder both kindes And the better to deceiue the simpler sort of people and to set diuision and enemity betweene those of the reformed Religion the said enemies of this Kingdome and the common peace thereof sought to set those whom we by the Kings Maiesties Letters Patents and his Graces speciall Consent had made Protectors and Super-intendents of our Religion at variance by that meanes not onely vtterly to with-draw them from their functions but also wholly to subuert and ouerthrow our Religion For in open Assemblies when by meanes of their wicked and secret conspiracies they had sowed contention and hatred among those of our Religion when the said Vnion for Religion on our parts was made and his Maiesties Letters Patents in Parliament rehearsed as also a generall confirmation of all our immunities and priuiledges of this Kingdome confirmed by his sacred Maiestie our King now raigning were in specie related purposely to further their wicked and malicious intents they were by them diuersly and contrarily interpreted

it is euident that if wee were to be iudged by them that to their owne shame and confusion they could alledge no other thing then this against vs. But when as hitherto they cannot neither dare openly assault or set vpon vs yet vnder pretence of Right and Iustice they seeke to bring vs that are honest men and his Maiesties true and faithfull Subiects to satisfie their pleasures into vtter ruine and losse of goods to the great sorrow and griefe of our wiues children and friends wholly to extinguish our Religion And all whatsoeuer we by the Kings Maiesties Letters Patents as also the Concord Vnion and Agreement publikely made for our Religion with those of the contrary side in Court of Parliament and acknowledged and confirmed to bee a Law and Statute of this Kingdome wholly to annihilate and ouerthrow and by that meanes to stop and bar the Protectors and all of vs when any danger were likely to fall vpon vs from daring to call and assemble vs together to preuent the same Then the which what can be more dangerous and perillous vnto vs Which troubles by them craftily brought vpon vs and their sinister practices against vs we seeking to eschew and preuent when by meanes of their crafty conspiracies wee could haue no answer from his sacred Imperiall Maiestie of our humble petitions as also that his Maiestie by the strange practices of them and others their adherents was so perswaded that he beleeued all whatsoeuer they falsely deuised and alledged would by no meanes credit nor heare vs speake for our selues Insomuch as that the very name of the Reformed Religion and Protectors thereof was most odious in his Maiesties eares which they themselues lewdly were so bold euery where to boast and brag of Besides this as it is euidently knowne to all men when they would call any honest man in question they vsed all the meanes they could though it were against all right reason or orderly proceeding to bring many men by strange deuices into the danger of losse of life and goods specially such as were of the Reformed Religion and by their iudgements and decrees made black seeme white and white blacke the Kings faithfull and true Subiects disloyall and his disloyall subiects iust and true raysing and aduancing euill and vnfit persons to honourable Estates and Dignities and disgracing and defaming such as were worthy of honour and desert cruelly handling and strangely dealing with not onely their owne Subiects but those also of the Kingdome as well vnder his Maiesties Dominion as the Spiritualty for matters of Religion and against their wils cruelly contrary to the manifest decrees of the Vnion forced and compelled them to be of their Papisticall Religion And by the Kings Iudges menaces and threatnings brought diuers of the Cities to that point that they were compelled that they should no more vnder-write to be obedient at the Calling and Summons of those of the Reformed Religion nor any more to assemble and meete together with them and many other indirect courses And being asked by vs whether they themselues were the Authors and Deuisers of the Letter and condemnation afore-said made against vs they could not deny it For these causes aforesaid wee haue proceeded against two of their League and Confederacie the one called William Slawatam of Chulin and Cos-chumberk the other Iawslaws Borzita of Martinitz otherwise called Smetsanckii as perturbers and violaters of the Lawes and common-peace of the Land who for that not respecting their Offices wherein they were placed haue most shamefully and wickedly abused the same to the great dishonour of his sacred Imperiall Maiestie our soueraigne Kings authority the breach of the peace of this Realme and haue put both of them together with the Secretarie their Prouoker as it were bondslaue who with them hath sowne and raised many factions and seditions in the Townes of Prage hauing first found and proued them to be such persons as in truth they are according to the old accustomed manner out of their Offices and Dignities Against whom certainely because they are yet liuing as also the goods and reuenewes of them and of all others that defend and excuse them or that will taxe assaile or accuse 〈◊〉 for the same and bewale against as many others the violaters of the said Letters Patents and Vnion as we can by any meanes finde out specially against Paul Michna a most wicked pestiferous man a Traytor and violater of the Lawes and publike peace of the Land who from base and meane Parentage being aduanced to the Secretaries place of the Chancerie in Bohemia in short time waxt so proud that he together with our said Enemies did vsurpe and take vpon him the whole gouernement and administration in this Kingdome ouer the States and made himselfe fellow with the principall Officers and Iudges of the Land and despising or contemning them boldly and rashly thrust himselfe into matters which belonged not vnto him and by deceits craft wrought many mischiefes in this Land raised factions troubles and contentions and by all the meanes he could laboured sought to bereaue the States of the Reformed Religion of all their Priuiledges and now is gone and absenteth himselfe out of the Country whom we will condignely punish according to his and their deserts To the which end for the good of his Imperiall Maiestie and this Kingdome our natiue Country and for the defence of our wiues children as also of the whole Realm from al wrong and mischiefe we now at this present assembled our selues in the Castle of Prage which we haue not done of purpose in any sort to oppose our selues against the authority Royall of his Imperiall Maiestie our most gracious King and soueraigne Lord or to wrong or hurt our louing friends and 〈…〉 of the contrary Religion so they will liue in peace sith it is manifestly knowne that hereby no other Secular or Ecclesiasticall person is hurt or hindred nor any tumult or sedition made but throughout all the Townes of Prage as also throughout the whole Realme Peace shall be obserued and kept vnlesse it bee in such causes as are before rehearsed and not to be auoided and wherin we neither ought nor can possibly do lesse then we haue done Wherfore we hope that his Imperiall Maiesty our most gracious King and soueraigne Prince will not otherwise interpret our meanings and actions nor giue credit to our slanderous and malicious enemies Neither do we think that our fellow-subiects and friends of the contrary Religion for whatsoeuer wee shall iustly do or haue done against those that are violaters and perturbers of the Letters Patents Couenants Conditions Immunities Peace and common Vnity of this Realme or that hereafter shall be done and much lesse any other in their owne or other mens names either openly or secretly will for that cause declare or shew himselfe to be our enemy But rather hope that euery man well weighing considering and calling to minde the
