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

Suburbs burned and this distresse caused the Lant-grave to write a dolefull Letter to the Elector of Saxonie his father-in-law desiring him to take commiseration of his Subjects who was able to pitie him onely but not for the present to releeve him But the mayne tempest fell not in that Province it steered more North-easterly into Misnia and Thuringen where what spoyle it made shall be related afterwards The Lant-grave-George thus distressed by the Swedes of the one side and receiving divers by-blowes by the Garrison of Hanaw at the same time hasted to treat with them of a Truce and cessation of Armes for a time to be prescribed and agreed upon fearing that if the Swedes should thrive and come neerer the Weteraw there would neither be time nor place for any Compromitters to mediate betwixt him and our Noble Countrie-man as wise in his directions as nimble and valiant in the execution Ramsey Governour of the Militarie men there A Regiment of Crabats surprised neere Wormbs and their Colonell taken prisoner by Ramsey About the tenth of December stilo vetere some selected Troopes being drawne out of the Presidiarie Souldiers to scoure the Countrie thereabout passed the Rivers of Mayne and the Rhine and at Dirmsteim a village neere Wormbs lighted upon a Regiment of Crabats and their Colonell Dishchlier with them The Crabats seeing how they were surprized prepared at once according to their custome borrowed from the Parthians both for fight and flight but being surrounded by the Hanawers and forced to their Tackling they fought till the major part of them being slaine the Colonell and the rest submitting themselves as prisoners of Warre they were carryed thence to Hanaw with five Cornets store of money and other good booty One Prize prepareth the way for another upon their returne homeward intelligence was brought them that forty Tunnes of Wine were to be transported the next day from Franck-ford to Giessen A Convoy for forty tunnes of Wine taken by the Hanawer for the use of the Lant-grave of Darmstat The Commander was made acquainted with the businesse and hee instantly arming foure hundred men sent out to attend the Convoy which they met withall fortunately before they had passed a quarter of the journey and in a short conflict having subdued the Waggoners which drove it and Souldiers which guarded it brought it home to the Garrison with the Lieutenant which commanded it This small losse incensed the Lant-grave against the Frank-forders whom hee accused as conspiring with the Hanawers against him though five of their men were slaine in seeking to preserve the charge committed to their trust pressing them to make it good otherwise menacing to confiscate their goods which were in his Dominions but hastned the Treatie with Ramsey A foure moneths Truce concluded betwixt Darmstat and Ramsay to prevent any further detriment which he followed so closely that by the fourth of the month ensuing a Truce was concluded on to indure till May with conditions of free trade and commerce betwixt both parties and that the Lant-grave should furnish the City with some thousands Malders of Corne at sixe Rixe-dollers the Malder and if so much could not be obtained in the publike Markets it should then be taken out of his private Granaries And this conclusion was joyfully received of all parties however the premises were displeasing the Frank-forders hoping by this meanes to enjoy the benefit of those Musarum Nundinae their Mart the Hanawers a time of breathing and the Lant-grave more liberty to arme himselfe for the assistance of the Saxon and Imperialists his Confederates The Electorall Diet convented and commenced at Regenspurgh the last Summer went on all this hurly-burly notwithstanding Many and severall dayes were appointed for the Election of a King of the Romanes A new King of Romans elected and at the last the twelfth of December old stile was resolved for the time when without further delay the choyse should be The Circumstances required by the Golden Bull of Charles the fourth were all observed save onely in the time of consultation the place of Election and the persons of the Electors The time of consultation prescribed was bounded formerly with 30. dayes and if in that space the Electors could not agree omnibus aliis detractis cibariis praeter panem aquam nihil aliud illis detur The Electors were to be fed with bread and water and nothing else till their votes were given up yet here had beene a consultation above foure moneths space The Election was confined to Frank-ford and there to the Church of Saint Bartholomew this was made at Ratisbone The power of Election was given to three German Prelates Mentz the Arch-chancellour of Germanie Cologne Arch-chancellour of Italy Triers Arch-chancellour of France and three temporall Princes the Prince Palatine of the Rhine Arch-sewer the Duke of Saxony Sword-bearer and the Marquis of Brandenburgh High Chamberlane these sixe being all to be summoned by the Elector of Mentz and not to lose their suffrages unlesse by a will-full default of absence yet here the Elector of Triers was expressely denyed admittance and the Elector Palatine never called but another thrust into his place by the Title of the Elector of Bavaria The Elector of Triers and Lant-grave of Cassell to the just greevance of some German Princes who questioned the Justice of this Election and not without some ground protested against it not in respect of the person elected by the Senate being reported an hopefull Prince of a good nature and promising condition but the indirect meanes of that Election But disputes were vaine the Gowne-Law could not proove the Course illegall and what-ever objection could be made to the contrary the Electorall College proceeded according to their first determination To this end the Magistrate of Ratisbone attended with the Burgesses and the Governour the Colonell Nidrun wayted upon by the men of Armes assembled in the Towne-house and by an oath of Allegiance confirmed the assurance of their loyalty to the Electors The Bull required a privacie that the Electors might conferre together freely without interruption by the Embassadors of Forraine Princes or the Nobilitie of the Empire by whose sollicitation in behalfe of their particular friends their Consultation might be disturbed and a worke of this high consequence be hindred The same Evening therefore diligent search was made throughout the Citie for all strangers and such as had no dependance upon the Emperour or the Electors that they might be warned to depart the Citty and not to returne thither till the King of Romans was chosen and this inquisition was done so effectually that the Spanish Embassadour and his retinew retired the same night to Straubinguen to abide there till hee might without offence to their proceedings returne to Ratisbone The day following the Duke of Bavaria and his Lady arrived at the City in great state and the next day December 11.21 about nine in the morning the Electors having

Continued and brought downe to this present THE Parliamentarie Councell of the Swedish States at Stockhohne was not then dissolved when the tidings of their victorie at Witstock were confirmed by two expresses sent from the Generall Banniere to the Queene and Diet there

and the States of that Province by mediation of those of Zur●ch giving eare to counsell came to a faire parley assured him of the good respect they had of the amitie of the Christian King that they intended no combination and confederacie with the enemies of the Crowne of France but that as hitherto they had been a free State not over-ruled by strangers so now againe they onely desired to be Masters of their own Dominions promising withall with their owne Armes and at their proper costs to secure those passages which were then held by the French against the Spaniards if he would freely restore them The treatie was upon unequall tearmes the Duke was their prisoner and might not stand to make his owne conditions To gaine his safetie and to be assured of the Grisons he condescended to seale mutually to these Articles That the Staig the Countie of Bormeo and Chiavenna should be presently redelivered to the States of those Provinces and the money which was due unto them payed with all expedition And the Grisons on the other side condescended to confirme their amitie with the King and Crowne of France The Conditions agreed upon betwixt the Grisons and the Duke of Rohan and to maintaine the passages against the Spaniard All which being sealed unto by the Duke in behalfe of the King his Master and by the Colonell Gasper Smith in behalfe of the Grisons April 8. old stile and the places were surrendred to the Grisons accordingly These were the counterbuffes and spots with which the flourishing fortune and splendour of the French glory was at that time checked and sullyed which yet was somwhat restored and revived by another happy adventure of the Christian Kings Forces in Loraine about the same day when the Duke was almost surprized The Caesareans who had some moneths before taken the Citie of Switz Switz besieged and taken by the French betwixt the Dukedome of Burgundy and Switzerland had thereby intercluded the passage and communion betwixt France and the Allies of that Crowne in that Territorie To regaine it the French Garrisons at Beffort Bruntrant and Ericourt mustered up 2000. men armed them with necessary provisions for a battery sent them against that Citie and Castle and then after two dayes battery with 8. Pieces of Ordnance forced the Garrison to yeeld upon composition to depart with their low weapons onely and so opened the way for commerce betwixt that State and the Kings Subjects But this gaine had been a small requitall to the former losses had it come singly and unattended without any other It was the concomitant of better fortunes to the French who under the Duke of Longueville did much harme to the Spanish Garrisons in the Dukedome of Burgundy surprized the Citie of Amur under the conduct of the Lord Thianges Honorita and Margarita recovered by the French and cut in pieces the Caesareans there and by their Fleete March 19. old stile at night assaulted the Iland Margarita and landed some Forces under the Count of Harcourt tooke in the first Fort after beleaguered the Fort Royall where the Garrison after a tedious Siege began to parley and at last agreed upon composition and so marched out leaving the whole Island againe to the French who now goe to assault and besiege the other Island named St. Honorata The Spring began now to come on and the united States of the Netherlands and the Cardinall Infant Preparations for warre by the Cardinall Infant the united ●tates began to prepare for warre The States began with the castigation of some rude Souldiers cashiering at Mastricht 4. Companies of foote and at Venlo and Roermond some others who being out of pay and knowing nothow to liue otherwise than by warre promised to reforme themselues and were placed under other more severe Commanders and this done dispatches were sent and Proclamation published that all Commanders should haue their Companies ready by the beginning of May. The Cardinall Infant who was engaged else-where and not onely against the States made great preparation both by sea land to compasse his designes Great store of Bisket was baked at Antwerp to supply the Dunkerkers who with two men of warre and 16 Frigates had already put to Sea Picolomini was furnished with money and a full Commission and sent into upper Germany to levie some thousands of men for the Infante's service who had prepared his waggons for carriage of the Baggage and Prince Francis of Loraine who already had the Command of 4. Regiments received order to rayse two new ones and to joyne with the Earle Picolomins The time of action was not yet come the harvest was still in the blade and the fields afforded no forrage No Armies could yet be brought into Campagnia onely some private parties were imployed abroad by the Garrisons more for spoyle and pillage than in hope of victory From Breda 100. valiant and experienced Souldiers were sent out on plundering who were surprized and rowted neere Balen by another partie of the States Garrison at the Bosh which though it surpassed the Brabantiers in number yet obtained not the victory by meere valour strength but by a finenesse adjoyned thereto which neverthelesse was not so prevalent as to giue them a cleere victory without much losse of their own bloud A bloudie ●ight betwixt apartie of the Spanish and another of the States Souldiers The States Souldiers knowing of the enemies march divided themselues into two bands the one consisting of 80. the other of 40. men The minor Company appeared to the view of the Brabantiers while the other and greater part remained hidden undiscovered The eye of the Spanish Souldiers was no sooner fixed upon the lesser band but they made towards them with all hast whilst they pretending a fearfull flight hasted to gaine two strong farme houses neere the place where their complices lay as places of refuge in that necessitie Their enemy pursued them with all eagernesse assaulted the houses with all violence whilst those within playing upon them with their small shot and the ambush rising from behinde them made them know that the victory was hardlier to be atchieved than they imagined Neither the odds of twenty men in number nor the unexpected troope comming on so sodainely did utterly discourage these resolved men but made them recollect their spirits and prepare to fight droping if not to obtaine the conquest yet to goe off without much losse The fight was hot on both sides the Musquetiers were both good markmen and nimble fingerens of that deadly engine and charged 〈◊〉 discharged so nimbly that the ground was purpled with the bloud of the wounded The Statists get the victorie so many being slaine on both sides that after the combate was done ten waggons were laden with the dead corpses of those two pettie Armies yet in the end the victory fell to the Statists the Spanish Souldiers being forced to flie The Prince of Orange soone after had a designe against Hulst a Town of importance in the frontiers of Brabant The Prince of Orarge his designe against Hulst prevented and the Key of the Countrey from Zealand to that Province and the Earledome of Flanders He had made preparation to surprize it and was about the expedition when certaine notice came unto him that his project was discovered which made him forbeare the attempt deeming it lesse dishonour not at all to begin a work of that difficultie which might put himselfe and his Army into hazard than to goe on desperately and be repulsed shamefully And thus we haue described the occurrences of these few moneths omitting nothing worth observation which hath happened in these Westerne parts of the world In the Easterne parts amongst the Turkes we heare of tumults civill dissentions rebellions managed with a strong power and such like barbarismes The Belgerbeg Basha in Morea attended with twentie thousand Souldiers made head there against his Soveraigne not contenting himfelfe with that high office but ayming at a higher kinde of dominion in that Peninsula and to effect his designe called in other twelue thousand Alboneses to assist him and with those Forces possessed himselfe of the Citie and Port de Santa Maura in Morea The Grand Signior enraged with this affront summoned him to appeare at his Court at Constantinopl and he not comming in confiscated his lands and goods and sent an Armie against him to surprize his person and disperse the Rebells The Basha in Morea rebelleth against the Turke but with what successe it is not yet knowne The Vizier basha who had bin imployed against the Persian was threatned also to be strangled a miserable case when service 〈…〉 by the event by a Capigie who was sent p●●posely to the Armie to deprive the Basha of his life because he had not beene fortunate in his warres against the Sophy The Vezier knowing the fury of the Mahometan Emperour and jealous of what was intended against him for safeguard of himselfe fell to the Persian and left the Army without Commander The Vezier Basha imployed lately against the Persian fleeth to the Sophy and so prevented the Capigie in the dispatch of his Commission The Sultan missing his designe against the Vezier proceeded in rage against the Capigie smote off his head and sent Camacan another of his Basha's with the power and title of the former to command his Armies whose proceedings wee must expect hereafter FINIS
