Ferdinand the second died and left all his Dominions to his Son Ferdinand the third which change probably would have brought Peace to Hungary and Transylvania but the Jesuites wrought new troubles and the Catholick Nobles of Hungary grutched that the Protestants by the late Wars had procured some things in favour of their Religion and the Lutherans had built a very beautifull Church in Presburg The Emperor incensed hereat sent to prohibite them and disallowed his former concessions The Protestants hereupon had recourse to Rakoczi who was offended with the Emperor upon this account There was found at Varadin in the Vault of Ladislaus and Sigismund some Treasure together with a Crown Scepter and Jewels one being a Diamond of a vast bigness that shone like a Torch there being a curse added to any that should presume to meddle with them till some extream necessity should require it These Ferdinand sent for and Rakoczi refused to deliver them Another thing that widened the difference was this Some Hungarian Nobles turned Catholicks and others that were such got Lordships where the Protestant Religion was professed and these took upon them to restrain them from the exercise of their Religion and took their Churches from them and placed Priests in them These irregularities Rakoczi complained of to the Emperor desiring him to remove them and to observe those immunities and priviledges which he and the Estates had confirmed to the Protestants and whereas the Emperor had caused three hundred of the Protestant Churches to be shut up he desired that they might be restored to them But the Emperor slighted him and put him off with delays Hereupon Rakoczi proclaimed open War against the Emperor Rakoczi proclaims War against the Emperor raised an Army of seventy thousand with which he invaded Hungary publishing a Manifesto to justifie his proceedings He took in divers Castles and forced Cassovia to a surrender To stop his Progress the Emperor sent an Army of twenty thousand men under Count Bucaine but the Hungarians daily falling to Rakoczi the other did little or nothing In the mean
