before that fathomed each other and designed the person privately whom they meant that day to proclaime publikely repayred first to the State-house the place appointed for their meeting and thence marched magnificently towards the Cathedrall Church where they were to give in their suffrages The processe of all was thus the present Electors and the Deputies of them which were absent having used the State-house as a Vestry for putting on their Electorall Robes went thence to the Thumb or Cathedrall Church in this order They were divided into three rankes which in State observing an equall distance each from other were thus marshalled First went the Electors of Ments and Cologne The manner and Ceremonies of the Election Mentz having the right-hand File and Cologne the left The next to these were the King of Bohemia on the right-hand and the Duke of Bavaria on the left and last Frederick of Metsch representing the Duke of Saxonie who had on his left-hand the Count of Swartzemburg as Deputie in the present Diet for the Marquesse of Brandenburg Before them was carryed a Sword in its scabberd but as soone as they came to the Cathedrall the Sword-bearer retired the Church doores were made fast a Masse sung by the Elector of Cologne and then after some few other Ceremonies which lasted till about twelve of the clocke FERDINAND the Third King of Hungarie and Bohemia eldest Sonne to Caesar was proclaimed the Elected King of the Romanes These Ceremonies past the Emperour adorned with his Imperiall Habite was brought in a chaire to the Church and Te Deum being sung intermingled with many great thunderclaps from the great Ordnance and Musquets the Electors tooke horse twenty foure Trumpets and a Kettle-drum sounding before them the Duke of Bavaria carrying the Ball of the Empire Metsch and Swartzenburg the Scepter and the Marshall Pappenheim a naked Sword immediatly before Caesar who followed in a Chaire of State with the Imperiall Crowne upon his head attended by the King of the Romanes both of them being under a starry Canopy guarded with the Elector of Mentz on the right hand and the Elector of Cologne on the left and so passed upon a Gallerie addressed for that purpose to the Emperours Palace where they were entertained the next day with a sumptuous Feast the Confectioners shewing all their Art to set forth a Banquet and his Imperiall Majestie desiring to expresse his gratefull heart for their willingnesse to suffragate so unanimously for the Kings election Nothing was then wanting which could be expected at a dayes preparation but the Coronation of the new King December 19.29 was with much more solemnity then his Election and the Coronation of the Queene though celebrated more privately was nothing inferiour to the Kings in glory The time betwixt his Majesties Election and Coronation was spent in ordering of things required for such a day and administration of Civill Justice The dignitie of State required the first the safety which by impunity of offenders must needs be endangered prescribed the other The Royall Vestiments which from the time of Charle-Magne were customarily used at such Solemnities were then at Noremberg and thither a Currier was dispached to the Magistrate and Governour for them who upon sight of the Letters attended with them personally to Regenspurgh Thus this order was observed faithfully but the designe for execution of Justice fell not out so happily V●schius a Doctor of Lawes The Syndick of Cologne murdered at Regenspurgh and Advocate for the Elector of Cologne was murdered in his owne lodging by some malitio●s assassinates who either sought his life or treasure of which though they were seized yet fearing it seemes to be discovered Quinam hominum est quem tu contentum videris uno Flagitio One sin never comes unattended they deprived him also of the other and remaining still unknowne the Magistrate propounded great rewards to them or him that could reveale them whether parties in the crime or not and to the first a pardon for their trespasse besides the pecuniary guerdon upon condition onely to descrie their or his complices but all was frivolous the nigh-birds kept still close together and all they which once had so farre exceeded the bounds of honesty were resolved to continue in their course and not reveale the villany Yet though the course of Justice was thus impedited the Pompe of State went on The prefixed day for setting the Crowne upon the Kings head was observed and then the King The King of Romans crowned to shew his Magnificence scattered some Medalls of Gold and Silver amongst the people whereon his Armes Name the day and yeere of his Coronation were engraven An Oxe roasted whole larded with Partridges and stuffed with a Calfe and two Muttons was exposed to the spoyle of the common people The great Conduit ranne White and Claret Wine The Marshall of the Empire having brought a great heape of Oates into the open street carryed away a small Measure and left the rest not to be shared amongst the people by measure but caught up and carryed away by as many as would and could catch it tore the Cloth in pieces with which the Bridge was covered that day for the passage of Caesar and the Grand States of the Empire and distributed it amongst the common people And thus the Magnificent Ceremonies for that day were accomplished The Queene as yet remained uncrowned for hough the King and shee made but one Body and it might be supposed that in him shee had seisure of that Character of Royall Dignitie yet her temples were to bee impaled also with a materiall Crowne according to the custome of the Empire and Decemb. 29. Jan. 7. was designed for that Rituall transaction Three dayes before were spent in revelling the Queene giving entertainment to the Empresse the Duchesse of Bavaria and the Ladies of the Court with Feasts Musicke Maskes and what-ever else could be thought of requisite for the Bien-venu of such great Personages This time thus expired the solemne day for the Queenes inauguration was come and then shee in State being brought into the Church after a Masle chaunted by the Arch-Bishop of Mentz The Queenes Coronation was carried in a Chaire to the high Altar close to the King her Husbands side and had the Crowne put upon her head which though weightie shee wore by the space of a quarter of an houre and returned to his Imperiall Majesties Palace It was a day of much joy to the Spaniards then at Ratisbone and they to expresse the content received by this Solemnitie made the Night aemulate the Day shining as bright with Piles of artificiall Fires raysed before their Doores as the Sunne in his glory But the Embassadour as in dignitie of place alone so in expence there exceeded all the rest joyntly the night did not terminate his actions The next day hee invited the new King and Queene and the personages of qualitie in the Imperiall Court to his house

need to the great incouragement of the Inhabitants and Praesidiaries who thus inheartened the next night made out two sallies in one of which they nayled foure pieces of Cannon and slue divers Caesareans to the great dis-hartening of the Imperiall common souldiers and Generals who seeing that place thus provided both of military and alimentary provisions after they had lost above 1000 men before it made 400 Cannon-shot against it cast in severall Bombards and Granadoes to fire it and broke downe some piece of the wall Ian. 27. old stile raised the siege marched the same night to Granges in the way to Burgundy where the next day they divided their Forces the Baron of Suitz taking the way of Germany to joyne with Gallas his Army and Mercie the way of the Franch Countie to Duke Charles who yet remained there Fortune smiled all this while upon the French by Sea and Land the affaires of that Kingdome went on if not prosperously yet not unhappily Zarquemine a frontier towne betwixt Alsatia and Loraine in possession of the Caesareans and Loranois was as a pricke in the sides of the Villages about Haguenau and the Countie of Bitche in the alliance and under the obedience of the French King but the Garrison there was forced Zarque●●ine surprised by Brevill Commander of Bitche and the Towne yielded to obedience by the Armes of Brevill Governour of the Countie Towne and Castle of Bitche against which place those of Zarquemine had a designe formerly who assisted with 100 Souldiers sent unto him from Aiguebonne Governor of Haguenau about the middle of Ianuary old stile marched against it came to the Fort broke it open became Masters of the place burning down the house of the Provost Controller of the Town the 2 Boutefeaues and principal Authors of their hostilities sparing the Inhabitants except one who was sent Prisoner to Haguenau till hee had paid his Ransome giving them this caution That they should comport themselves fairely toward the Kings Subjects and the Crowne of France threatning otherwise That they would returne thither and deale with them as they had done with that Provost and Controller who had suffered exemplarily to deter the rest from giving eare hereafter to such wicked Counsels The same day which was so fortunate to the French Commander in the North-east by land was as prosperous in the North-west by Sea The Ides of Ianuary ministred a fortunate adventure and the first was seconded by some others The Pirates of Dunkerque who often times had roved thrivingly upon the Coast of Callis were ranging about for more spoile The Count of Charost Governor of the Citie being advised therof dispatched to Sea a Frigate well armed Dunkerquer● Rovers taken by the Seamen of Callis meerly to discover the number of the Dunkerquers A small boat of Dunkerque haling a rich Holland Ship which the Fleet had taken 4 daies before appeared singly which being guarded only with 13 Wallons the French Pinace subdued and brought into Callis with the Hollander to the incouragement of the Seamen in the Port who presently rigg'd up a small Navie put forth to Sea resolving not to returne with emptie hands and the enterprise succeeded so well that the next day they brought into the harbor three other Prizes one wherof was a Vessell laden with all sorts of Marchandise from Spaine and bound for the Low-countries in which bottom and the two others were found also many Prisoners This good event rouzed up the courage of some other Adventurers to attempt the like The 3d of the Calends of February Intelligence was given That some of the Dunkerquers were in the Channell neere that Coast with some Ships which they had taken as prize from the Hollanders and that occasion was so powerfully perswasive that the Marriners needed no other Orator to incourage them to put to Sea and fight with them Three French Frigates were instantly lanched out of the Haven and upon the first sight of the Dunkerquers the winds filling their Sailes made up to them without delay let fly their Ordnance and the Dunkerquers rather willing to save themselves than fight to preserve their Prize left the Hollanders Ships to the French Adventurers who returned with them to Gallis and thereby so hartened the Sea-men that the Port which lately wanted Sailers and could scarse afford one good Commander soone after abounded both with Captaines and Marriners But these peteete Victories though the newes of them soone after arrived at the Court of France were not so pleasing to the Christian King as the reconcliation of the Monsiour his Brother was to his Matie for the Prince having vanquished himselfe dispossessed his heart of those jealousies which made him depart as a Malecontent from the Court returned againe of his owne accord in the beginning of February and gave the King such a plenary assurance of his loyaltie brotherly affection The Christian King and the Monsieur reconciled and true zeale to the Crowne and State of France that the King by his owne Letters made a kind of Proclamation through his whole Kingdom of the reunion of their fraternall affections and assurance of his fidelitie Thus his Letters ran The Kings letters to the Generalls c. TO all Generalls of our Armies and Governours of our Provinces Greeting My good Cosins since that the departure of my brother the Duke of Orleance to Bloys in the Moneth of November last without our permission hath given the world occasion to suspect his good intentions and I my selfe beleeved that if hee had accordingly as hee ought with attention examined the Motives of his Action according to our Letters sent after him immediatly to give him as good evidence as be could desire of our good will toward him by that imployment which hee had in the Command and Conduct of the principall Forces of the Realme hee might easily have knowne that those Avisements and Motives which caused him to eloyne himselfe from us were not onely contrary to truth but also to his proper good Yet this credulitie never hindered me from taking all care to prevent those evill consequents which might have followed this our separation But thanks be to God whatever hath ensued hath served to no other end then to make me know the fidelitie of my Subjects whose constancy I have found unmoevable My Brother who hath well concluded that the union of Hearts in these times of danger is as necessary as the forces of the Kingdome to oppose with the more puissance the Enemies of the greatnesse of this Crowne and its tranquilitie Of his owne accord hath applyed himselfe to all which I could desire and no sooner acknowledged his transgression His Majestie undertaketh for his zeale to the State c. then I was ready with all my heart to forget it giving such credit to the Assurances he hath given me of his good affection and zeale to the good of this State that I my selfe doe undertake and
