Generall withall who amongst the three Boasts he was wont to make had this for one That he never lost Battayle But now hath he lost both Game and Lurch too Now hath he lost such a Battell as Leipsich

publikely returned vnto that Lord of Hoasts whom the King in answere to his former Prayers had now found so mightie in Battell No sooner therefore were the Swedish Conquerours come together againe from pursuing of the fleeing enemy but they were summoned to a Bid-day proclaymed throughout all the Saxon Dominions for a publicke and solemne Thankesgiving vnto GOD for this so glorious a Victory

Papacie and maintaine on the other side thine owne Word which is the very joy of our hearts We verily O Lord of Sabbaoth are called after thy Name thou knowest that for thee alone wee suffer persecution Deliver vs therefore out of the hand of the wicked and free vs from the power of Tyrants and the more they oppose vs the vayner let their vndertakings be Be with vs and stay still with vs
