secure_v their_o own_o person_n when_o all_o lie_v at_o stake_n for_o in_o such_o case_n the_o place_n of_o great_a danger_n be_v the_o place_n where_o the_o prince_n shall_v be_v the_o emperor_n

first_o mention_v the_o duke_n place_v himself_o as_o have_v be_v relate_v but_o he_o depart_v thence_o when_o the_o grand_a visier_n come_v up_o with_o his_o whole_a army_n which_o be_v seven_o or_o eight_o day_n after_o concern_v which_o departure_n i_o shall_v set_v down_o the_o word_n of_o john_n peter_n a_o valcaren_n judge_v advocate_n of_o the_o imperial_a army_n who_o have_v give_v we_o a_o particular_a account_n of_o this_o siege_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v the_o best_a we_o have_v the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n say_v he_o who_o hitherto_o remain_v with_o the_o cavalry_n in_o the_o

silesia_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o empire_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v have_v receive_v supply_n of_o every_o thing_n we_o need_v this_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o besiege_a who_o afterward_o feel_v those_o hard_a ship_n that_o be_v bring_v upon_o they_o by_o the_o quit_n of_o that_o place_n but_o however_o we_o be_v not_o to_o doubt_v of_o the_o sufficiency_n of_o the_o reason_n that_o move_v the_o duke_n of_o lorraine_n to_o hasten_v his_o departure_n thence_o if_o the_o author_n know_v those_o sufficient_a reason_n he_o do_v not_o well_o to_o conceal_v they_o for_o it_o high_o concern_v the_o duke_n honour_n that_o satisfaction_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o all_o man_n in_o this_o matter_n whereas_o now_o many_o remain_v unsatisfied_a for_o the_o duke_n of_o

4000_o polish_v horse_n and_o general_n schultz_n with_o 3000_o german_n he_o have_v also_o a_o great_a river_n between_o he_o and_o the_o enemy_n for_o though_o the_o danube_n do_v there_o divide_v

two_o below_o it_o then_o as_o to_o forage_v it_o be_v hard_a to_o believe_v but_o that_o all_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o danube_n may_v maintain_v fifteen_o or_o sixteen_o thousand_o horse_n as_o

the_o river_n as_o have_v all_o the_o vessel_n both_o above_o and_o below_o the_o city_n the_o best_a and_o easy_a way_n to_o relieve_v it_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v by_o those_o island_n have_v maurice_n prince_n of_o orange_n be_v now_o alive_a and_o direct_v these_o affair_n who_o as_o he_o have_v all_o the_o art_n of_o war_n so_o particular_o he_o seem_v in_o his_o element_n when_o he_o

vast_a number_n particular_o of_o horse_n have_v stand_v they_o in_o much_o stead_n among_o these_o small_a island_n and_o though_o they_o may_v possible_o have_v defend_v these_o their_o quarter_n yet_o so_o great_a a_o force_n must_v be_v upon_o this_o duty_n that_o the_o siege_n must_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n have_v stand_v still_o or_o at_o least_o can_v not_o be_v carry_v on_o with_o

in_o fair_a order_n along_o the_o southern_a bank_n of_o it_o open_o and_o direct_o upon_o the_o ottoman_n camp._n and_o their_o glorious_a success_n seem_v to_o have_v justify_v their_o counsel_n but_o yet_o we_o must_v bear_v in_o mind_n that_o they_o have_v certain_o miscarry_v if_o their_o enemy_n have_v not_o be_v quite_o mad_a and_o by_o a_o prodigious_a error_n quit_v the_o advantage_n of_o their_o ground_n 8._o the_o christian_a army_n have_v such_o illustrious_a commander_n and_o so_o many_o great_a prince_n be_v there_o engage_v in_o person_n that_o few_o army_n in_o the_o

the_o empire_n and_o they_o all_o do_v their_o work_n substantial_o and_o brave_o it_o must_v likewise_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o turk_n on_o their_o part_n leave_v nothing_o undo_v for_o the_o

upon_o it_o even_o while_o their_o army_n be_v rout_v and_o their_o camp_n force_v nevertheless_o if_o their_o whole_a carriage_n of_o the_o affair_n be_v well_o consider_v we_o may_v observe_v in_o

of_o shame_n what_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n therefore_o of_o this_o strange_a slack_a conduct_n at_o this_o time_n if_o the_o thing_n be_v well_o examine_v it_o will_v be_v find_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o jesuit_n who_o we_o know_v have_v a_o great_a ascendant_n over_o that_o court._n they_o have_v several_a time_n betray_v the_o emperor_n and_o now_o they_o think_v fit_a in_o requital_n to_o betray_v the_o french_a king_n and_o to_o sacrifice_v his_o interest_n to_o they_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o their_o order_n that_o the_o emperor_n shall_v make_v great_a conquest_n by_o who_o favour_n he_o be_v their_o fast_a friend_n they_o may_v well_o hope_v to_o have_v many_o new_a college_n and_o some_o new_a province_n of_o jesuit_n which_o plain_o will_v be_v much_o to_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o society_n and_o though_o this_o may_v bring_v ruin_n to_o their_o great_a patron_n of_o france_n on_o who_o the_o emperor_n will_v in_o all_o likelihood_n turn_v his_o victorious_a force_n they_o do_v not_o value_v it_o the_o thing_n they_o mind_n be_v the_o interest_n of_o their_o order_n and_o this_o seem_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o the_o french_a king_n do_v let_v slip_v this_o golden_a opportunity_n of_o make_v himself_o the_o universal_a monarch_n 4._o of_o all_o the_o mediator_n that_o labour_v in_o this_o peace_n of_o flanders_n the_o dutch_a do_v

that_o whole_o upon_o the_o hollander_n as_o make_v account_n that_o the_o preservation_n of_o flanders_n do_v concern_v holland_n more_o than_o spain_n and_o now_o be_v the_o emperor_n engage_v

the_o heroic_a prince_n of_o orange_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o state_n be_v full_o determine_v to_o hazard_v all_o rather_o than_o the_o french_a shall_v get_v flanders_n moreover_o these_o

to_o its_o fatal_a period_n it_o may_v safe_o be_v affirm_v that_o their_o affair_n be_v in_o a_o worse_a posture_n when_o the_o french_a besiege_v luxenburg_n then_o when_o some_o year_n before_o they_o be_v possess_v of_o vtrecht_n but_o out_o of_o this_o grievous_a labyrinth_n they_o extricate_v themselves_o to_o admiration_n for_o by_o great_a patience_n art_n and_o industry_n they_o at_o

may_v in_o point_n of_o negotiation_n be_v account_v the_o masterpiece_n of_o that_o republic_n wherein_o they_o show_v as_o much_o skill_n and_o dexterity_n as_o they_o do_v constancy_n and_o

a_o terrible_a storm_n as_o never_o do_v any_o people_n sustain_v and_o endure_v the_o like_a the_o roman_n put_v a_o high_a value_n upon_o themselves_o for_o that_o when_o hannibal_n lie_v on_o the_o
