A38820	Discourses on the present state of the Protestant princes of Europe exhorting them to an union and league amongst themselves against all opposite interest, from the great endeavours of the court of France and Rome to influence all Roman Catholick princes, against the Protestant states and religion, and the advantage that our divisions give to their party : wherein the general scope of this horrid Popish Plot is laid down, and presented to publick view / by Edmund Everard ...

the Allies of France on the other side the Rhine the Army of Turenne was so beaten out that in the end of the Campania it was in a manner wholly dissipated and was indeed in so pitious an Estate that it is certain that all what Turenne could have done in that conjuncture was onely to bring himself into a condition to defend himself against one of these Armies but if their conjunction had really followed upon a publick confidence and appointment Turenne's destruction had been notoriously inevitable and his Electoral Highness of Brandenburg who knew how easie it was to destroy Turenne and the consequences which might ensue made all these things to be vigorously represented at the Court and Council of Vienna this Representation took effect and thereupon positive Orders were expedited and sent to Montecuculli to joyn with his Electoral Highness and in conjunction without delay to fight Turenne which by that single success would have dissolved all the secret and manifest contrivances of France and by this blow alone have withdrawn the whole Empire and Holland from oppression But for the interest of the Roman Court the matter was carried quite otherwise His Majesty of Great Britain suffered himself to be perswaded in this Juncture to consent by an express Declaration which he reported himself to his Parliament to give liberty of the Exercise of Religion in favour of the Non-conformists of his Realms which was not done so much as we may easily conceive to favour the Conventicles of some particular Puritans or Anabaptists as under this name to indulge somewhat with the Roman Catholicks Now as this Counter-march of England was one of the First-fruits which the Court of Rome had promised it self from the ruine and destruction of the United Provinces we must not be surprised if that Court have and then did actually move every stone to make this destruction solidly real but as that which capitally opposed this design consisted in the success of his Electoral Highness of Brandenburg's Success in his undertakings against Turenne the destruction of that Army being sufficient to re-establish the Republick of the United Provinces and its re-establishment to overturn all the Progresses of the Church of Rome in England it was here that the Jesuite took up his Rest to break off that blow in which he succeeded too well against the Universal Interest of all Europe for Montecuculi instead of receiving an Order to joyn with the Army of Brandenburg and to fight Turenne received one quite contrary which formally forbad him both the one and the other and as nothing is comparable to the Impudence of these venerable Fathers for pushing forward this affair to their end their first endeavours were by different attempts to make his Electoral Highness of Brandenburg to suspect the sincere Intentions of his Imperial Majesty which was so much the more easie for them to do because his Electoral Highness of Brandenburg had received formal Letters from the Court at Vienna which related unto him precisely the very Order which his Imperial Majesty had sent to Montecuculi to joyn and fight and his Electoral Highness having thereupon summoned Montecuculi to execute the Order Montecuculi who knew he had received an Order quite contrary and had no knowledge of the former could do no less than refuse both the one and the other of his Electoral Highness's Proposition nor could his Electoral Highness otherwise than doubt of his Imperial Majestie 's sincere Intentions upon this refusal and at the same time that they practised to inject these Suspitions into the mind of his Electoral Highness the same Emissaries neglected nothing that might bring Montecuculi to suspect the sincere Intentions of his Electoral Highness which Suspitions were but too much impressed upon him for his part so that it was not to be wondred at if his Electoral Highness did at last suffer himself to be perswaded as these Emissaries had insinuated by a third hand that the House of Austria did privately carry on a particular Treaty with that of France which seemed so much the more likely because his Electoral Highness saw daily the miserable condition of Turenne's Army to increase and yet Montecuculi to continue in his obstinate refusal to fight it But as all this was nothing but mis-understanding so yet notwithstanding these Emissaries had the means to imploy his Serene Highness the Duke of Newburg to busie himself mightily to manage a particular Peace for his Electoral Highness with France which this Prince in suspition and despight of the Imperial Conduct suffered himself to be drawn to accept with so much the more reason because on the part of Holland it was pretended they had not performed all they were ingaged to and as for the Empires Interest he should preserve his entire Liberty if France should attack it Now by the whole sincere Warp of this History here related we may see how rash a thing it is to judge of the Actions of a great Prince it being certain that in this Juncture all Europe found themselves extremely divided about what they were to judge of the proceedings of his Electoral Highness But as this Prince for his own Honour would have his Imperial Majesty well to know that he had a just resentment of the proceedings of Montecuculi so this General was greatly surpriz'd at his return to Vienna that his Master demanded so rigorous an account of his Conduct and the Reasons why he had not joyned the Army of Brandenburg and fought Turenne after he sent him precisely an express Order but if Montecuculi was surprised with this demand his Imperial Majesty was no less to see what his wise General replied for his entire discharge a precise Order of his Majesty in very good form which forbad him all conjunction with Brandenburg and fighting with Turenne and for certain this General had then need of all the Justice of his Cause and of the knowledge his Master had of his fidelity to extricate himself from this troublesome Affair I know very well that this Intrigue was one of those Engines which we never could have well penetrated had not the Author thereof voluntarily given us the Key I know that it is from this foundation that one of the most unhappy of this Court hath been formally accused to be the Principal of this Cheat but to speak truth he was not culpable at all in this Affair but to those Emissaries of the Court of Rome in this Court in combination with those of France upon the aforesaid principles the chief of whom found means to intercept the said Original Order so as to transmit by the same dispatch a false Order but very well counterfeit both in the Sign and Seal and that by those people who have not begun now first of all to contrive such surprizes it being certain that High Hungary had not been so often in flames had it not been that these Emistaries had held so great credit and relation in the said
