may justly say of all Christendom The Imperial Court goes to Possonium The Emperor the Empress the Arch-Duke and the Arch-Duchess Elizabeth his Sister on the 26th of October left Vienna attended only

of the Nobles and States of Hungary This August Family were met on their way near that City by Two thousand of the Hungarian Nobility all well mounted with a splendid Equipage in the Plains of Chitzé not far from Possonium as also by two Imperial Regiments which attended their Majesties to the Gates of the City where the Recorder met them and having Complimented their Majesties with a most florid Oration offered the Keys of the City to the Emperor in the Name of the People who with loud Acclamations and firing all the Cannon on the Walls testified the Joy they conceived for the appearance of the most August and Illustrious Family The day following after the Mass was Celebrated Crown of Hungary setled the Assembly of the States of Hungary were convened where after divers Points were debated all Difficulties were overcome and agreed to the common satisfaction and with the general consent That the Hereditary Succession of that Kingdom should descend to the Eldest Son of his Cesarean Majesty and from him to all those who shall spring or be derived from him and for default of Issue in case that Line should come to fail which God forbid then the Crown should descend unto

Twelve in Number besides Fourteen Priors and Abbots clothed in their Pontifical and Canonical Habits who with the Sound of all sorts of Musical Instruments conducted their Imperial Majesties habited in their sacred Garments wearing their Crowns attended with a most pompous Train and with all the Signals of Empire unto the Altar and there seated them on their Thrones After which the Bishops and other Prelates returned to receive the new King before whom first marched the Heralds of the Kingdom of Hungary in their Coats After them followed the Guards next went the Lacquies and Pages all clothed in new Liveries these were followed by the Bishops and Chief Officers of that Kingdom with Ten Hungarian Knights each carrying a Standard in his hand representing the Ten Kingdoms anciently appertaining to the vast Dominion of Hungary After all which came the King clothed in the Hungarian Habit accompanied with Prince Esterhasy the Palatine and the Counts Stephen Ciaky Lord Chief Justice Nicholas Erdeody Ban or Prince of the Kingdom of Croatia John Drascoviz Steward of the Royal Houshold and Adam Zrini Marshal of the Kingdom the King himself being between Two Bishops was conducted to the Throne prepared for him not far from the High Altar at which Mass was Celebrated by the Archbishop of Strigonium Lord Primate of Hungary the which being ended all the Nobility did Homage to the King who having made profession of his Faith before the Altar he was Blessed and Consecrated by the Archbishop and Anointed in the Palm of his Right-hand on his Arm and Shoulders and then the Palatine holding up the Crown in his hand asked them with a loud Voice saying Coronabimus Josephum Archiducem Austriae in Regem Hungariae which is Shall we Crown Joseph Arch-Duke of Austria King of the Romans which being done Three times and answer made as often Coronetur or let him be Crowned the Crown was delivered by the Palatine to the Archbishop who set it on his Head and was clothed by him with the

to the Turks than become the Slaves of the Germans The consequences of which War have been so dismal and even the Imperial Victories gain'd at the expence of so much Blood and Treasure as all Germany as well as Hungary has felt the fatal effects of it So that Men are apt to look back with Indignation on the Authors of these Troubles and to think them worthy of the extreamest Punishments that have brought their Country to such Ruin and Desolation The greatest part of which Censures will without doubt fall upon the Protestants whose Arms have wanted even Success that popular justification and whose Cause labours under two such fearful appearances as a defection from their Prince and the joyning with the Common Enemy of Christendom tho' perhaps a considering Man will be apt to reflect on that Cruel severity which forc'd them to take shelter in the Arms of an Infidel at least he will see a fatal instance of the unhappy Consequences of driving Men to Despair by subverting their Laws Liberties and Religion I shall therefore give an impartial Account of the Causes that exasperated the Protestants of Hungary to this degree and leave them to the Readers judgment either to be condemn'd or acquitted And therefore let us hear what Account the Protestant Writers give of this matter when the Protestant Religion began first to insinuate it self into Hungary under the Reign of King Lewis Anno. 1523. it met there with the same fate it did in other Countrys viz. Opposition and Persecution But this King unhappily engaging himself in a War against the Turks fell in Battle and leaving no Heir Male the Hungarian Nobility were divided in the choice of a Successor one part Electing John Zapolya Vaivode of Transilvania and the other Ferdinand the first But John dying soon after his Election Ferdinand remain'd in sole possession of that Kingdom who the better to gain the affection of his Subjects granted free exercise of Religion to Cassovia Bartphia Eperias Leuchenia and Libinia the five free Towns of upper Hungary and afterwards to several of the Towns of lower Hungary besides the same Privileges which he gave to divers of the Nobility Notwithstanding which there being several Commotions and Disturbances on account of Religion still remaining in the year 1606. at the Pacification of Vienna made between Rodolph Emperor and King of Hungary and Stephen Botscai-Kis-Maria in the first Article it was said That as to the business of Religion that notwithstanding the first Constitutions and the last Article of the year 1604. according the Resolution taken by his Imperial Majesty All the Inhabitants and Persons of what Order or Condition soever within that Kingdom as well the great Lords as the Cities and Privileg'd Towns immediately belonging to the Crown or upon the borders of that Kingdom as likewise all the Soldiers of Hungary shall have free and entire Liberty of Conscience without being troubled or molested Nevertheless without prejudice to the Roman Catholick Religion so that that Clergy the Churches and the Temples of the Catholicks may remain in the State wherein they are without Violation or Molestation And that those which had been taken by one side or other should be restor'd to their lawful owners Afterwards the Emperor Matthias himself explain'd that Clause nevertheless without prejudice to the Rom. Cath. Religion by assuring them That it was put in upon a good design and that it only meant that neither Party should be disturbed in the exercise of their Religion This liberty was afterwards often confirm'd as you may see in the Grievances presented to the Emperor which are affix'd to the end of this History The now Reigning Emperor Leopold solemnly confirm'd this Article at his Coronation Vide the sixth Condition in the Imperial Patent running thus Ordered That the exercise of Religion granted to the States of Hungary according to the Constitution of Vienna and those Articles establisht before our Coronation shall remain entirely free as well for the Barons Lords Gentlemen as free Cities and all Orders and States of the Kingdom of Hungary as likewise for the Towns Villages and Hamlets that will accept of it so that no Person of what Condition soever shall be hinder'd in the exercise of his Religion in what manner or under what pretence soever Given in the Royal Citadel of Posonium June the 25th 1655. In despight of all these Edicts made in favour of the Protestants the Clergy especially the Jesuits had so much interest in the Court of Vienna as to get a Manifest publish'd there and Entitled Truth declared to all the World or a Treatise wherein is proved by three Argument that his Caesarean Majesty is not obliged to tolerate the Lutheran or Calvinist Religion in the Kingdom of Hungary Writ by George Barzon titular Bishop of Waradin Priest of the Society and Councellor to his Sacred Majesty The first Argument was drawn from three Conditions under which the liberty of Religion was granted at the Pacification of Vienna The first That it should be with out prejudice to the Protestant Religion which Condition being impossible ought to pass for nothing The second That the Clergy and the Catholick Churches should remain in their former Condition without being toucht which was violated by Bethlem and Ragotski The third That what was taken either by one side or the other should be restor'd which the Protestants had not perform'd To this was answered That it did by no means follow that if one Condition or Clause was lookt upon as impossible and so null that the whole Treaty should be so also and besides that the Emperor Matthias himself had explain'd the Condition by declaring that it was not to be made use of for the ruining of that liberty which was granted That whatsoever Bethlem or Ragotski had done this Liberty was notwithstanding confirm'd by the Edicts and Ordinances of the Emperor That if it had been so that Protestants who being daily provok'd by the Papists had gone a little too far yet the innocent ought not to suffer That the Destruction of Temples which were made use of during the Troubles only regarded those that Botskai had taken in the War and not such as had been for a long time in their Hands The second Argument is That this liberty was not establisht by the unanimous consent of the States of the Kingdom to whom it belongs to make Laws with the Consent and Approbation of his Majesty and consequently that those Articles ought to be abolisht But it was urg'd that this was extreamly injurious to those Kings who had confirm'd and ratify'd them and who no question were not so ignorant of the rights of the Kingdom of Hungary That when this Affair was manag'd at Lintz 1645. Tho' the Arch-Bishop of Strigonium George Lippai and some seculars opposed it yet Count Palfy President of the Chamber and divers Catholick Lords consented notwithstanding that opposition so that the Affair being extreamly hindred by that Arch-Bishop

tended towards Peace and in order thereunto did not only dispatch Deputies as far as to Lintz to Treat thereupon with the Imperial Ministers but likewise entertain'd a personal Conference with Count Caprara and agreed with him to continue a Truce until the result of a Diet should be known which was to convene in the Month of Febuary That which in all appearance was most probable to administer the greatest difficulty and cause of dispute when a Diet should assemble was the restitution of the Churches Schools and other Foundations which the Malecontents challenged as their own and upon the Right and Title of having Erected and Built them at their own charge and expence They were also very positive to have their ancient Government by a Palatine restor'd and all the German Garrisons withdrawn out of Hungary at least that the Officers placed over the German Forces should be Hungarians the better to keep the Souldiers within some Terms of Moderation and Good Behaviour towards the People of the Country The time appointed for the Diet to meet being come the Emperor remov'd to Newstadt to be nearer to the place of Treaty But it being the Fate of that poor Kingdom to be unhappy something or other still intervened to prevent and disappoint the Endeavours of Peace A Plot to seize Tekeli during the Truce for whilst some labour'd in that good Work others made it their business to impede and divert it And so it was at present for whilst Tekeli was delighting himself at a House of Pleasure a Plot was laid to surprize and take him during the Truce of which Tekeli having notice How it was prevented he countermined the Plot by an Ambuscade which being opportunely disposed in the way where they were to pass the Party which came to seize him was totally defeated This and other Artifices of the like nature fomented jealousies and diffidences between the Parties that nothing was acted clearly and with a free Spirit but with such Caution and reserves as easily presaged the little hopes of an accommodation by way of Treaty Howsoever some Zealous Men such as Esterhasi and Forgatz who were passionate for the peace of their Country travel'd from County to County exhorting the People to lay aside all Animosities Esterhasi and Forgatz make offers of Peace and return again unto that Allegiance and Duty which they ow'd unto their Prince upon assurance that the Emperor would restore the State of Hungary to the same Condition in which it was in the year 1662. and grant almost all the other Propositions which the Malecontents did demand provided that the States of that Kingdom would declare the Arch-Duke Joseph Son to the Emperor King of Hungary To this Proposal the Malecontents were ready also to condescend on Condition that at the same time the Kingdom were declar'd Elective and some Acts repeal'd which in the year 1664 had made it Hereditary Notwithstanding this difficulty and divers others which were daily started displeasing to the Emperor the Meeting of a Diet at Oedemburg was so warmly press'd that the Emperor's Commissioners and fourteen Deputies from the Malecontents Assembled in the Month of February as was agreed tho' Tekeli refus'd to be there present alledging that the late Treacherous Design against his Person was a sufficient and a just Excuse for his Absence This and some Dispute about the place of Meeting which the Imperialists desired might be at Presburg occasion'd a Prorogation of the Diet until April next following The Diet prorogued until Apr●ll In the mean time the Malecontents held their Consultations in Transilvania concerning the Measures and Methods they were to take in the next Campaign and made use of the cessation of Arms to fortifie their Garrisons and supply them with Provisions The Clergy of Hungary finding in the Emperor a Spirit so inclin'd unto Peace that he was ready to condescend unto all the Demands of the Malecontents and with the rest to grant and yield unto them all the Churches of which they had been depriv'd they being touch'd with a sense of the mischief which might accrue to themselves thereby The Clergy endeavour to disturb the Diet. sent their Deputies to Vienna before the Convention of the Diet to represent unto the Emperor the great prejudice damage and scandal he would cause to the Catholick Religion by delivering up the Churches which were already Consecrated and Hallowed to the Service of God to be prophaned by Impious and Heretical Worships This and such like Speeches serv'd to trouble and distract the Mind of the good Emperor with a thousand new Scruples Howsoever being desirous to appease the Troubles in Hungary and not disappoint that August Assembly His Imperial Majesty a full Month before the Convention remov'd to Newstadt to be near and on all Occasions to be assistant to the Diet which notwithstanding the former Disputes to the contrary was to be held at Oedemburg The Deputies jealous of the Emperors Guards But whereas the Emperor was attended with three Regiments for his Guard the Appearance seem'd so extraordinary on such an Occasion that the Malecontents refus'd to send their Deputies fearing to be over-aw'd in their Debates and Votes by a Military power unless the Arch-bishop of Strigonium and other German Lords were first deliver'd into their hands for Hostages and Security of fair and faithful Dealings But to remove this difficulty the Emperor discharged his Regiments and with a Guard only of six hundred Hungarians The Emperor enters into Oedemberg and holds the Diet. made his Entry on the two and twentieth of May into Oedemburg where he was receiv'd between the double Files of Hungarian and German Soldiers and Conducted to the Lodgings prepar'd for him by the Commissioners and Deputies there present The Diet over which Count Swartzemburg presided in the Name of the Emperor had sat several days before his Majesty's Arrival And on the first day of the Session before they would enter upon any other Business the Election of a Palatine was propos'd and three Persons were Nominated thereunto viz. Esterhasi Palfi and Erdedi and accordingly were offer'd to the Emperor to make choice of the Person which he thought most worthy A Palatine offer'd and agreeable to that high Employment and Office of Trust But whereas this Prince was entirely in the hands and possess'd by Father Emeric lately made Arch-bishop of Vienna and Abelé the Secretary he refus'd to determine the Choice until such time as he had consulted with these two Confidents thereupon By this Retardment all other Matters mov'd slowly tho' the Diet sate eight hours every day The least point Administer'd matter of Dispute Affairs obstructed and what at the first appearance seem'd easie and of little importance was render'd difficult and intricate by reason of the Spirit of Dissention and Bitterness with which that whole Assembly was possess'd And moreover Father Emeric excepting against every Person which the Diet propos'd for Palatine gave
