Miles from the Lombarg those 60. Waggens with Women and Children there under were Chief persons of the Gentelitie which would have tooke their flight this wayes are taken prisoners and caried away A Chief Tarter which is taken prisoner hath revealed that they had comision of the Turke to pitch a Cāp by Lōbarg there to exspect the coming of the Turk which hath concluded to take his way towards Crakow and there to holde his Winter-Camp In the meane while resort together againe about 20000 Cosacks and many Gentlemen heere about but they will not goe forwards except that the King of Polen in his owne person doth goe with them From Leypsich the 30. of November The Duke Elector of Saxens Souldiers have taken in againe 2. places in Nether-Lausnits and gotten great spoyle the which those of Bohemia had brought thither to flie away it is said that they will also set uppon the Cittie Gorlits At Prage hath the Duke of Beyeren before his departure taken an inventarie of all things also Copied the Letters in the Secretarie sealed them to and sent them the Emperour to Weenen had also given command that the Cittizens should not be ronged In the meane while dorst no man in Prage give advise Letters out of Breslaw mention that the King and Queene with 2. Dukes of Weymar Earle of Slick Hollac Solms and other Lords were arived there with 300 Waggens with bagage also there followed him 18. Cornets of Horsemen and very many footemen so that the speech goeth that the cause should be taken in hand againe In the meane while runne the Posts toe and fro to take advise of other Kings and Potentates From Elboghen in Bohemia the 1. of December Although Trecherie ill Gouvernment of the Souldiers also that the Bohemians have not assisted the King of Bohemia with on accord and more other matters are judged to be the movall causes of the losse of Praghe with the appendixes yet is the chiefe causuall cause accounted to bee an Indignation of God over the pertickuler rulers therof for sinne for now those Lords and Gentility which formerly in high degree did use great Tyranny over their subiects the same are now dispised of them for in the Citties they are not suffered neither dare they com by their Subiects of whom they are slaine And in the Satser Craits are gathered together som certaine 1000. of Contrymen more they think to defend themselves by force if they had but a Gouvernour and that the King who having the chiefe Priveledges and Iuwels with him gathering his forces againe very strongly hath advertised them that hence forth they should be free therefore will they assemble many 1000. unto them And although som Counties in Bohemia have given themselves under the Emperours Comisioner van Walsteen som being constrained there unto by force others through thretenning as som few dayes agone are arived heere the Emperours Comisioners and have propounded that this Cittie and Countie should com to the Cittie Laun and give themselves under subiection if not they would persecute us with fire and sword but they have gotten but a slight answer We hope to defēd our selves better then the other Bohemish Counties have done In the meane while is Taus Mies Tacha and other Citties strongly beset with the Emperours or Beyers Garisson The said Comisioners have enterprised to establish Mas-priests in certaine places thereupon the Subiects are very disquieted and grieved therefore the Garissons are in great danger The Governour of Taus hath perswaded the Lord of Illa who is Evangelist from such a Reformation exorting him not to Reforme the foresaid Comision of the Emperour but to punnish the disobediente calling to mind the issue of the like former Compulsions The warres will first rightly begin against the Spring And there might arise a general tumult for there hath beene an uproer in the oulde Cittie of Prage against the Sedition of the Souldiers what the issue will bee time can reveale From VVeenen the 28. of November Concerning the victorious
