The Diet of Heilbrun ANd that the Reader for a Farewell may perceiue the present constitution of the affaires in the Empire and in what good correspondency the Protestant Princes are at this present one with another and how well disposed to the continuance of the warres for so good a Cause I will conclude my Booke with that new League of these 4. Principall Circles of the Empire that is to say The Franconian Suevian the Vpper and Lower Circles of the Rhine made in the Diet of Heilbrun in the Dukedome of Wirtemberg 18. English miles from Heidleberg in the moneths of March and April last past that so my Story may end as it begun with a Diet. What Princes were present There were personally present at this meeting the Duke of Wirtemberg and the Administrator the Marquesse of Baden the Count of Hanaw with the most of the 17. Earles of Wetteraw For the Prince Elector Palatine and the Administrator Lodowicke Bro●her to the King of Bohemia were there 4. Commissioners whereof Colonell Peblitz being the chiefe he sate above all the Princes at the upper end of the Table all the Propositions were directed towards him and he had the opening of all letters in place of the Elector Palatine There were present besides the Ambassadors of other Princes and the Deputies of the Imp. Cities in these 4. Circles The Lord Chancellor Oxenstiern by whose procurement this Diet had beene convoked had his lodging in the towne and came not at all into the State-house among the Princes but sent them in this discourse and these Propositions following which were the grounds and materialls for the Diet to worke upon His stile in the present Diet was Councellor Chancellor and Extraordinary Ambassador for the most Illustrious and High-borne the Hereditary Heyer and Princesse of the Crowne of Sweden And with this Declaration he began his Propositions Illustrious and Right Honourable Princes and States Evangeliacall here assembled I will not too much trespasse upon your patience Oxenstierns Propositions with an over tedious recitall of the Causes upon which the High and mighty Prince of ever-glorious memory Gustavus Adolphus King of Sweden c. was enforced to take Armes and openly to make opposition against the Roman Emperour Ferdinand the Second of that name and his confederates the Catholike Leaguers more and more at that time every day prevailing in their oppressions of the Evangeliacall Electors Princes and States and of their Honours priviledges and immunities all the Romane Empire over yea and most iniuriously beginning to encroach upon the next neighbour Princes and their Provinces forasmuch as these things be notorious unto the world and that the Iustice of the Kings Armes be by no man doubted of And yet some briefe recapitulation doe I thinke convenient to make of them Most apparent it is that his said sacred Maiesty now at rest in the Lord was without any formall denuntiation of warre infested by the Emperor His Ambassadors comming with the offer and meanes of a peaceable compounding of depending Controversies most disgracefull entreated yea and contrary to all lawes of nations and civility not without scornefull affronts offered turned home againe and the whole Treaty by that vsage abruptly broken off with him That his subiects of Sweden even contrary to long usage amity and Covenants heretofore in generall contracted with the Romane Empire and in particular with certaine neighbour Princes and Free-States have beene disturbed in their Commerces Embargo's laid upon their Ships and fetters upon their saylers That the Catholike Leaguers likewise notwithstanding that among other Electors of the Empire they had beene requested that they would be pleased to forbeare the making themselues parties in these differences but rather to seeke how to find redresse for them and notwithstanding that at the request of the French King confederated with his sacred Maiesty there had beene Neutrality granted unto the said Leaguers if so be they thought good to accept of it yet did they not onely refuse that Neutrality but entred also into a stricter confederation of warres against his said Maiesty and conioyning their forces under their Generall Tilly with those of his Imperiall Maiesty they forbare not to doe their uttermost against the said King whom out of pure necessity they by this meanes enforced in hostile manner to oppose himselfe against all of them And notwithstanding that these and the like motives which for brevities sake be here omitted doe sufficiently iustifie his said Maiesties Armes-taking being he was enforced to them yet this is the thing above all the rest to be considered the devises namely

a little from thence falleth into the Ill about 13 English miles to the South of Schletstat Colmar besieged The Imperiall Governor being resolved to hold the place and the Citizens perceiving him not able to doe it there fals out a difference upon it betwixt the Burgers and the Soldierie The townsmen feared that by the Governors obstinacie their City would be taken by assault and then should their houses be plundered or worse served and therfore presse the Governour to a Parlee He refusing the citizens getting all their Billmen at once together they just at dinner time on Sunday December the ninth sease upon the Governor with his Leiftenant and imprison them kill many of his soldiers that resisted them and sent word with all speed unto Gustavus Horn to come and take their citie This made their conditions to be the better and these they were By this you see that these townes of Schletstat and Colmar did not as yet know of the death of the King of Sweden 1. His Majestie of Sweden is contented to suffer the citie of Colmar still to remaine as a Romish Catholicke citie and in the enjoyment of the same her priviledges Immunities and rights aswell the Spiritualty as the Temporaltie which they had in the yeare 1626 nor will his Majestie assume more authoritie over the same Citie then the Romane Caesars have heretofore exercised 2. The King will receive the Ecclesiasticall persons both men and women into his protection and leave them the free exercise of their owne Religion 3. In the ordering of the Magistracie the King shall please to haue consideration of the wellfare and safetie of the townsmen and that with respect unto the ancient customes not bringing in any new impositions 4. The citie shall not be over-burthened with a greater garrison then they shall well be able to maintaine and the billetting of them shall be at the discretion of the Magistrates according to their former orders 5. All that were willing still to remaine within the City would his Majesty take the protection of and whoever were minded to depart should have free leave and libertie These Articles were dated at Horburg Decem. 10. 1632. and signed Gustavus Horn. Munday morning December the tenth was the Imperiall garrison turned out at the Ports to shift for their own safeties the Townsmen not so much you see as putting in one Article in favour of them The same night did Gustavus Horn personally enter into Colmar without exacting any one halfe Dollar from the townsmen The onely thing that he added unto the Articles which was by entreatie too was that the Lutherans might have their old Church again within the towne with the free exercise of Religion as heretofore they had enjoyed This being granted the Lord Commissary-Generall and Resident Glazer Religion restored in Colmar the Lord Iohn Noe and many principall Protestants who now lived in exile for their conscience sake at Strasburg did the 14 of December returne backe againe unto their owne houses in Colmar That day was there a Sermon of Thanksgiving preached there by Doctor Iohn Smidt Superintendent of the Augustane Confession who with the rest had the selfe-same day five yeares beene exiled out of Colmar His Excellencie Gustavus Horn had in the meane time sent the Leiftenant-Generall the Baron of Croneck Hagenau yeelded to the Swedish unto the Imperiall citie of Hagenaw 12 English miles to the North of Strasburg His message to the Magistrates was that if they thought good to submit themselves unto the Swedish protection then should their ancient Estate Priviledges Rights and Customes be left entire unto them but if not all should be by force confiscated The charges of the war moreover which he should be put unto for the conquering of them should doubly bee exacted out of their purses These offers being sent unto them by a fortunate and a conquering Armie became prevalent at the first motion and were accepted of Thus easily was Hagenau made Swedish having not so much as seene the countenance of a Swede till they tooke some of them in to be their garrison And thus became the valiant and discreet Gustavus Horn the great conqueror of the Vpper Alsatia and as much of the Lower too as there needed And that wee may dispatch all the warres in these quarters neere the Rhine at once by this time was the town of Franckendale in the Palatinate given over by the Spaniards The King of Bohemia by treating with the towne had before his death drawn the Governor Werres unto these conditions 1. That upon the eleventh of November himselfe with all his soldiers should march out of Franckendale Franckendale rendred in this equipage That is to say with Colours flying Drummes beating trumpets sounding 3 Brasse peeces of ordnance and such other ammunition as themselves had brought in thither 2. That the Spaniards should be allowed 200 wagons for the carrying away of their baggage 3. That they should have a sufficient Swedish garrison to convoy them unto the frontiers of Luxemburg Upon these termes were the Spaniards by agreement with the King of Bohemia to have left the towne upon the eleventh of November but whereas they were to have received 7000 Rex Dollars for such ordnance and Ammunition as they had heretofore brought into it and now left behinde them perchance upon the King of Bohemia'es sicknesse first and death afterwards they could not sooner receive their monyes The Gentleman employed by the King to treate with the Spaniards was Colonell Colb and they were put to it by the King of Spaines and the Archduchesses agreement with King Iames now also pressed by King Charles to deliver up the towne unto the Prince Palatine so soone as he should be able to keepe and maintaine it The Spaniards would never treate with the King of Sweden about it but with the Prince Palatines Ministers only so that now the King of Bohemia being likely enough to hold it they condiscend to deliver it And indeed they had Commission from Brussels for it being the willinger now to part with it so faire a way for that they saw Gustavus Horn perchance would not let them long have held it And yet this might they have done too had they known that he should have beene so soone sent for out of those Quarters towards Bavaria The Spaniards marching out November 26. a garrison of countrey boores is put into Franckendale to keepe it for the Princes Palatines There being now no more townes besides Vdenheim and Heidleberg in those parts of the Rhinish Circle which were not Swedish the victorious Gustavus Horn received directions from Chancellor Oxenstiern to march up into Bavaria and to joyne with the Generall Banier the Bavarians being strong enough at that time to fall a great way over their river Lech Gustavus Horn leaving part of the Armie with the Rhinegrave marches up into Bavaria with the residue even to the bancks of the Danubie in the Duke of

the masters of the field must now and then take their turnes and be beaten out of it The Swedish part of the Armie which returned from the fight to Altzeim went presently with the Chancellor back againe to Mentz and the other part that moved towards Creutznach went forward with the Rhinegrave after a while into the Huntsruck There hee reprised though with some little adoe at first the townes of Kirchberg Simmern and others wherein the Spaniards had left some weake garrisons Nor had the Swedish after this much adoe about the Palatinate till that in July after they were sent for by the King to Norimberg The state in which the Spaniards left the Palatinate shall wee now tell you of The state in which the Spanish now left the Palatinate and the Bishoprick of Spiers Having made themselves masters of Spiers they forced some garrisons upon the next neighbor walled townes that had beene voluntarily quitted by such Swedish as were there enquartered even as the selfe-same townes had beene before quitted by the Spanish as Pag. 59 of our Second Part wee have before told you These townes were Aenwyler Cron-Wessenburg Landau and some others and out of these as being nothing fencible they now at parting withdraw their new-put-in garrisons At Germersheim onely did they now leave some companies This being a pretty tight place of it selfe would be a good safegard besides unto the strong towne of Vdenheim or Philipsburg which lyes but one Dutch league to the East of it the Rhine running just betweene them The garrison of this towne which had beene put in partly by the Bishop of Spires and partly by the Chapter and which by often going out upon Boote-haling Partees with the Spanish garrisons of Heidleberg and Franckendale especially before the Spanish and the Bishop had any difference had beene three quarters Spaniolized they now left in very good termes with themselves and upon termes with their Lord the Bishop now enemie to the Spaniards The Chapter or Dom-Herren of the Cathedrall Church of Spiers was their friend and their owne Bishops adversarie and for their sakes did the Spanish now forbeare the other lands of the Bishoprick The quarrell was this The Bishop Philip Christofer of Spiers was now Elector of Triers also whither in the yeare 1623 he had beene chosen This Prince had not onely concluded his Neutralitie with the King of Sweden See Page 69 and 72 of our Second Part. but put himselfe under the French Kings protection and by a Proclamation commanded all the Spaniards out of his countrey His Fort and Electorall castle of Hermanstein had he now also actually consigned over unto the French and had likewise sent unto Vdenheim the towne of his Residence for his Bishopricke of Spiers to have that delivered over to them This so enraged both his Chapters of Triers and of Spiers who were wholly Austrianized that they forthwith proceeded to a formall and legall Admonition of him which amounts to little lesse then a Deprivation Differences betwixt the Bishop of Spiers and his Chapter concerning Vdenheim The Bishop sending his Trumpet unto the garrison of Vdenheim to deliver up the place unto the French his desire was countermanded by the Chapter of Spiers so that the Governour answered peremptorily That he held for the Emperor Thus were the French Generalls frustrated of this hope Having here made mention of the Elector of Triers and his French dependancie Swedish Neutralitie and enmity with the Spaniards it shall not be amisse to repeate something here though from an ancienter originall which may conduce to the understanding of his State and our Storie This Philip Christofer then Bishop of Spiers onely had his ordinarie Residence at this Vdenheim and some old discontents betwixt the Palsgrave and the Bishop about it concerning which there had formerly fallen out a controversie betwixt the last Prince Palatine him and upon this occasion In the yeare 1618. the Bishop had a mind to fortifie this Vdenheim against which the Palsgrave thus argued That the place had beene viewed and the modell projected by Spinola That it thereby being made suspitious would become also dangerous to his Estate if either his enemies should get in thither and the causes or the Bishops in time to come prove enemies to the Palatinate He urged also that this fortification would hinder his right of sending convoyes or Safe-Conducts by or through the towne That it was contrary to the priviledges of the citie of Spiers which was to have no new Fort erected within 3 leagues of it The Bishop not desisting for all these reasons the Elector Palatine procures a meeting of some Princes at Heilbrun upon it There did the Duke of Wirtemberg the Marquesse of Durlach and the Earles of the Wetteraw assist the Palsgrave with 4000 armed men to slight and dismantle the whole Fortification Hereupon was it thus agreed betwixt the Palsgrave and the Bishop with consent of the Dom-Herren or Prebends of Spiers that the part betwixt the Fore-towne and the Castle should bee left unfortified and never to be made up but by consent of the Palatines That the Bishop should never put above 30 men into it for Day-Warders and that in time of warres the place should be a refuge for the Paligraves subjects But this agreement was in time of these late warres then broken by the Bishop when the Palsgrave had no power left to exact the performance of it But thus much hath the Bishop now gained by it that this towne of Vdenheim which hee built against the will of his friends he hath now fortified for his enemies The Captaine that now commanded in this Philipsburg having made this denyall to the Bishops Trumpet to shew him withall how much good earnest he meant in it set fire presently upon some of the new buildings next the castle to prevent the lodging of any enemies in it and prepares himselfe throughly for resistance This was the state of Udenheim when the Spaniards forsooke the Palatinate The constitution of all the countrey together was this In Franckendale the Spaniards left or were to leave 1200. In Heidleberg 2000. In Spiers 1000 and in Germersheim about halfe so many In Neustat likewise Bretten Sintzheim Pfeddersheim Germersheim and Fidelsheim they left some smaller garrisons Some writing tells mee that Don Philip de Sylva did not send in those 1000 foot and 5 Cornets of horse into Franckendale as he had promised I perceive that the chiefe command over the Militia in the Palatinate was entrusted principally in the hands of Colonel Metternich Governour of Heidleberg All the Countrey of Alsatia was left to the Marquesse William of Baden But he staid not long in that his regencie For hearing how ill the Spanish had sped in their retreate that the Swedish armie was returned to Mentz that Gustavus Horne was comne downe to be Generall about the Rhine and Mosel and that the passages betwixt Heidleberg and Franckendale were likely to
