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

to the lawfull proceeding in the Assemblies of the State of the Land to be holden they haue made and ordained themselues as partiall Iudges of his Maiesties said Letters Patents Assemblies and Vnion And perceiuing that his sacred Imperiall Maiesty our King soueraigne Lord is otherwise employed in diuers waighty affaires and businesse concerning the estate of Christendome in generall and thereby is not able to remember and thinke vpon all the immunities and priuiledges contracts compacts and grants concerning the Realme that they might set his Maiesty at discord with the sayd three Estates of the reformed religion and to mooue him to grant such commission to them which without doubt is contrary to the said Letters Patents they haue giuen out by writing to his Maiesty that in the saide Letters Patents contract of Vnion it is not contained that such subiects as are belonging vnto Cloysters should haue any right or authority to build themselues Churches whereas that is not referred to their owne iudgements but as it is said before is committed to both parts that is that if any question should rise thereof lawfull iudgement and determination should be made and giuen therein by an equall number of persons of both religions therevnto purposely appointed This notwithstanding letting passe that manner of proceeding at their pleasures they procured a Commission from his Maiesty vnto the Towne of Bruna to command them to surcease from proceeding to build their Churches begun Which they of Bruna certifying to the Protectors and Superintendents of our Religion by vs made and appointed thereunto and therein sought to be holpen desiring requesting that they might therein bee ayded and protected by vertue of his Maiesties Letters Patents and the Vnity made at the Assembly of the three Estates of the Realme in the Parliament to that end holden The Protectors for their parts vpon good deliberation and aduice by them taken thought it conuenient to call the principall Officers Iudges the Kings Maiesties Councell of both lawes concerning the reformed Religion and withall sixe persons of resort and Towne according to the Act of Parliament and their instruction therein to assemble and meete together in Prague where beeing met vpon good deliberation they found that not onely those of Bruna but also all others that are subiect vnto the Spiritualty within the Realme of Bohemia not onely by the Articles which are in this our Apology set downe in Print but also for other reasons causes which here for breuity sake are omitted are participants of and ought to enioy the Benefits Graces and Priuiledges which belong and are giuen by the Emperors Maiesties Letters Patents vnto those of the reformed Religion The said Letters Patents among other things specifying that contrary to the same and our securities no Commission or Prohibition which in any sort might hinder or let our proceedings eyther from his Imperiall Maiesty and his Heyres or Successors Kings of Bohemia nor by any other whatsoeuer And that if any such should bee giuen forth or permitted the same should be of no force nor validity in any such case what pretence or allegation soeuer should therin to the contrary bee made set downe or pretended Whereupon when we the sayd three Estates and Protectors vpon good deliberation and aduice had made and giuen this answer vnto the inhabitants of Bruna the Hill townes and Cloysters graues which are vnder the Archbishops of Prage that they shuld proceed to the building vp of their Churches and in the same for the honour of God vse their accustomed manner of preaching c. alwaies with this condition that otherwise they should in all things behaue themselues peaceably honestly and ciuilly and not to stirre moue nor giue occasion vnto any one of the contrary Religion much lesse to the Lord Abbot or the Archbishops as being their Superiours of the least cause of offence or motion to anger whatsoeuer either by word or deed as knowing well that the same is specially and expresly forbidden but to the contrary that they should behaue themselues towards them in all reasonable obedience concerning worldly and politike matters as true subiects ought to doe All we of the three Estates of the reformed Religion at the Assembly holden in the Castle of Prage Anno 1615. by common consent of the Protectors and vnder our hands in a generall and free Court did approue ratifie and confirm it and also at that Assembly made it known vnto the Emperors Maiesty as to our King and Soueraigne Lord as also diuers and sundry old wrongs oppressions and iniuries which were not only done and committed in the places aforesaid touching the Vnion but also to the preiudice of his Maiesties authority Royall vnto the common people contrary to the expresse meaning of his Maiesties Letters Patents hoping to procure some releefe and redresse therein before our said Assembly should breake vp The said common enemies of the King the Country and the Peace thereof continuing in their accustomed secret practices deuices and perswading themselues that they could worke the Emperors Maiesty as they list they found the meanes that our three Estates could in no manner get any answer from his Maiesty therein before their Assembly brake vp And further besides that certaine persons by their meanes at common and ordinary Assemblies Courts expeditions vsed all manner of hard proceedings and courses against those of the Religion at the last they proceeded so far that they brought vpon our three Estates of the Religion beeing the Emperors Maiesties true and faithfull Subiects besides the former ouer-heauy burthens layd vpon vs our poore subiects for the space of fiue yeares being most great and intolerable taxations contributions towards the paying of his Maiesties debts which we willingly granted vnto in hope that the same would at length bee a meanes of vnburthening vs of our wrongs This notwithstanding after our Assembly was broken vp by the sollicitation of diuers of the Countries enemies there could no answere from his Maiesty be giuen vnto vs and much lesse any helpe or remedy was to be had therein but to the contrary we were rather daily more more wronged and oppressed till at the last when his Imperiall Maiesty was ready to depart out of the Kingdome and going forward on his iourney lay at the Castle of Brandis by their procurement he called one of the Protectors vnto him Lord Henry Matthias Earle of Thurin at that time Burgraue of Carlistein c. and in the presence of two persons said to him That hee did not acknowledge nor vnderstand the three Estates of the reformed Religions petition concerning their grieuances to be true as they alleadged and that he had resigned his authority concerning the protection of their cause vnto the Archbishop of Prague and that he would be no more troubled therewith And when the said Earle of Thurin humbly besought his Imperiall Maiesty that he would be pleased not to commit the charge of deliuering that

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

reasons and causes aforesaid and the iust deserts and merits of the said persons as also that our meaning and intent is not nor neuer was in the least manner or in any sort to do any thing against the Emperours Maiestie our most gracious soueraigne Kings authority or against the Romish Religion and the Vnion betweene vs made will not onely excuse but also take part with vs and aide vs in all things that concerne the preseruation of the Priuiledges and Immunities of this Realme together with the concord and mutuall loue peace and amity thereof against all those that withstand it Therefore wee most humbly beseech his Imperiall Maiestie our most gracious King and soueraigne Prince that it would please him if need shall require to publish another and more large Apologie for our excuse and iustification vnto the world Giuen in the Castle of Prage in our common Assembly vpon Friday next after the Feast of the Ascension of our Lord Iesus Christ Ann. 1618. Reasons whereby it is shewed and proued that the people of Bohemia that are Subiects to the Monasteries and Clergie of the same Realme in their resorts by the Letters Patents and the Vnion contracted and made betweene those of the Reformed Religion and the Papists haue liberty to build themselues Churches and freely to exercise their Religion therein without interruption 1 FIRST it is declared and expresly set down in his Maiesties Letters Patents that all the vnited members of the Reformed Religion viz. the Lords and Knights as also those of Prage Ruttenbergh and other Townes together with their Subiects and briefely all those that make profession of and acknowledge the Bohemian Confession no man excepted shall and may freely and peaceably in all places exercise their Christian Religion of communicating vnder both kinds according to the said Confession and the Vnity made and shall be suffered quietly to professe and confesse their faith and Religion without interruption 2 That from the day of the date thereof none of the superiour free Estates nor any of the Cities Townes nor Country people shall neither by their Magistrates nor any other person whatsoeuer Spirituall or Temporall be troubled for their said Religion neither by force or violence be constrained or compelled to exercise the contrary Religion by any meanes whatsoeuer 3 Thirdly that against the said Priuiledge no Counter-mand nor any other prohibition which may in any sort be or procured the least impediment or alteration thereof from his Imperiall Maiestie his Heires and Successors Kings of Bohemia shall not be made nor granted and if any such thing shall happen or be enterprised and taken in hand by any one it shall be of no force nor vigour neither shall there be any further pursuite thereof made in Law or otherwise directly or indirectly whatsoeuer 4 That his Imperiall Maiestie certifieth and giueth all supreme Officers both present and future to vnderstand that it is his will and pleasure that the Barons Knights Townes of Prage Ruttenbergh and other places together with all their Subiects and namely all those that professe the Reformed Religion and acknowledge the Bohemian Confession by vertue of his Maiesties Letters Patents shall be suffered and permitted by them and euery of them freely to enioy all the Articles Clauses and Sentences therein set downe and declared and no hinderance let nor interruption to be done vnto them for the same by any man but to the contrary that they shall aide helpe assist them therein to the vttermost of their powers And if it shall happen that any Spirituall or Temporall person shall doe any thing contrary to his said Maiesties Letters or to the end thereby to disanull or interrupt the same his said Maiestie shall and will as also his Heires and Successors Kings of Bohemia and the States of this Realme euery one of them for their parts proceed against euery such persons as against perturbators of the common Peace and Tranquillity of the Law and will defend and protect the said States of the Reformed Religion in all respects as the Articles in the Statute of the Vnion concerning the peace of the Land containe and import 5. And in the Articles of Vnion between both the religions for the better explaning of the Letters Patents as also in the Exchequer or Office of the Rowls or Records of the Realme in Quaterno Emptionum argenteo Anno 1609. it is inserted in these words That in such places or Cities vnder the Kings Queenes or the Emperors Maiesties regiment those of the reformed Religion that haue not their owne particular Churches places of burial nor any places among those of the contrary religion by vertue of his Maiesties Letters Patents shall haue power to make and prepare Churches Hospitals and Burying places for themselues whensoeuer they will 6. In the coniunction of the States of the Religion in Bohemia and the Papists with the Princes and States of the Dutchy of Silesia these words are inserted Whosoeuer vnlesse it be the Emperors Maiesty himselfe whether he be a Spirituall or a Temporall person of what dignity or condition soeuer none excepted eyther in his Imperiall Maiesties name his owne or any others whatsoeuer shall goe about or attempt to trouble or molest the Lords of the three Estates of the Crowne of Bohemia or the Princes and States of Silesia or Slesia that are of the Ausburge Confession or any of the Subiects of the same profession whether they be vnder Spiritual or Temporall Catholike or Euangelicall iurisdiction in their Christian religion Churches Scholes or Consistories in any manner or vnder any pretence whatsoeuer of right belonging before to the Catholike foundatiōs Cloysters Churches Scholes Consistories Rents In-comes or Reuenues and now at this present are vsed and enioyed by these of the reformed Religion in both countries and still remaine so and would molest them for the same it shall bee lawfull for all the sayd States of the reformed Religion to ioyne and stand fast altogether and to doe their vttermost endeuour to the last drop of bloud in their bodies for the defence of the reformed Religion Churches Scholes Consistories and their appurtenances and to hold and keepe the same for their security And that whensoeuer they or any of their subiects or others of their profession that are vnder temporall or spiritual iurisdiction as aforesaid are troubled or vexed or by any Magistrate assaulted or assailed violently vnder or by what meanes or pretence soeuer it be as if they were seditious Rebels or otherwise as the enemies of God and his Word are wont to doe and daily practise the same as we commonly see The said three Estates of the reformed Religion in the Kingdome of Bohemia vpon the first motion thereof made vnto them by the Princes States of Silesia within one month then next after ensuing shall leuie one thousand horsemen two thousand footmen at the second time the like number and at the third time all the forces in Silesia to aide and assist them and the like shall be done by the Princes and States of Silesia in the Bohemians behalfe if need require Which their said coniunction action and vnity his Imperiall Maiesty shall fully euidently confirm allow 7. In his Maiesties Letters Patents giuen granted to those of Silesia it is likewise expresly signified and set downe that all the Subiects of the Prouinces of Silesia whether they be vnder Spiritual or Temporall Princes Commanders or hereditary Princes of Dutchies Cities Townes and Villages and other Magistrates none excepted shall be therein comprehended in these words That none of them whether they liue vnder spirituall or temporall power iurisdiction shall be compelled to vse any other religion then that they professe neyther shall bee sent away or banished from his dwelling place nor put from his office or dignity for religion or in any sort vexed molested or troubled for his conscience These Letters Patents granted to Silesia were after ours and by vs and our meanes proceeded neyther were they largelier made to them then to vs nor vnto vs then to them yet we as the superior members cannot be of worse or meaner condition besides this the Articles in our Letters Patents are generally compendiously contained but in the Silesian Patent more expresly and particularly declared 8. At the making of his Maiesties Letters Patents touching the Vnion it was not otherwise meant nor intended then that the Cloysters are his Imperiall Maiesties princely goods and reuenues and that he as the superior hath ful power ouer them as it is sufficiently knowne vnto them that then were present at the time of the making of the contract 9. That in the Kingdome of Bohemia the Spiritualty haue no singular state as those of Morauia and other Prouinces haue neyther haue any voyce in Parliament but are distinguished ordered by the Emperors Maiesty among the other States in all things concerning them 10. That all Ecclesiasticall goods be of the Archbishopricke as also of all the rest by superior right are vnder the power and disposition of the Kings of Bohemia as the highest and supremest founders and Patrones thereof 11. That the same Ecclesiasticall goods by the Statutes of the Land D. 40. belong to the Kings Exchequer or reuenew wherefore according to a Statute of the Realm Anno 11. no Colledge nor Cloyster without the Kings cōsent can alienate or change any thing belonging thereunto and if they do pawn sell change or alienate any thing thereof it shall be of no force and that whosoeuer doth take any thing of them in that sort he shall restore the same againe freely vnto the King or to any other to whom it shall please the King to appoint him to doe it 12. That Spirituall men are feodaries and admiuistrators of their temporal goods only for their life-time and so they ought to vnderstand it for that the Kings of Bohemia alwaies had right and power ouer their spirituall goods to sell the same vnto any of the inhabitants of the Land without the consent of the said Spirituall persons and to alienate and make them hereditary and to record them for such in the Records of the Exchequer or Rowles whereof many examples are extant in the reignes of Ferdinando Maximilian and Rodulphus Emperours and Kings of Bohemia FINIS
