the Duke of Bavaria who both for his Religion and his assistance in the warre against the Palatine hath well deserved of the Emperour so as the desire of your Holinesse is that the Palatine should be stripped of his Dignity and punished accorning to his desert rebellion The Cardinall Ludovisius wrote from Rome the 16 of Octob. 1621. to the Arch-bishop of Patras Popes Nuncio at Bruxels to this purpose Letters of the Cardinall Ludovisius about the Translation Yee shall use all possible meanes to diswade the Infanta her Highnesse from agreeing to a suspension of Armes And concerning the Person of the Palatine my advise is that since Hee is once deprived of his Countrey Hee ought to take it for a speciall grace if He may have leave to submit himselfe to the Emperour but notwithstanding any submission nothing ought to be restored to his children unlesse they be brought up in the Catholike Religion For it were a great errour to suffer the Palatinate in the hands of Hereticks which is so neare to the Low Countries Therefore it behooveth you to be watchfull there as well as the Nuntio is in Spayne who hath order to imprint this point well in the Kings minde The Pope will also doe his best to perswade the Emperour and the King of Spayne that the Palatinate bee shared among the Catholicks whereunto you shall doe very well to dispose the Infanta Caraffa the Popes Nuntio at Vienna wrote to the forenamed Arch-Bishop of Patras the 20 of October 1621 to Bruxels in this manner Letters of Caraffa the Popes Nuntio about the Translation There is no doubt to bee made of the Emperours intention to transferre the Electourship Palatine upon the Duke of Bavaria The only stop proceedeth from the Spanyard which I should not have beene bold to say had not the Prince of Eggenberg assured me that the Emperour had finished the businesse long agoe but for the wilfulnesse of the Spaniards who for want of other evasion cover their crossenesse under the pretext of the Electour of Sax. But to stop this starting hole the Arch-Duke Charles is lately gone to the said Electour though under another colour g The colour was to dispose the said Electour to a suspension of armes and execution of the Ban which at that time was promised by word of mouth to my Lord Digby from whom we shortly expect answer which if it bee not a flat negative but neutrall and indifferent we will goe on and urge the Emperour to dispatch the worke and the rather because the Count d'Ognate seemeth to say that the King his Master will be content if the Duke of Sax. be not contrary Neverthelesse because we are iealous of the Counts perversenesse although the Duke of Sax. should consent we have without noise and under hand sent Fryar Hiacynthus into Spayne to blunt the indeavours of the said Count and of Digby the English Ambassador designed to goe thither to which end the Emperour hath written with his owne hand to the King of Spayne to Don Balthazar and the Nun Infanta without the Knowledge of any In summe you see the state of the businesse and by discourse of the Spanish Ambassadour we further finde that the Spaniard on whom all dependeth would not much oppose this translation if these three points were provided for First that the Duke of Bavaria should restore upper Austria That for defraying of his costs Hee should have the upper Palatinate which is more than his due and would content Him And that the Nether Palatinate be left to them whereunto the Duke of Bavaria should renounce all the pretention which He might have in right of the Electorall Dignity The said Nuncio writing to Fryar Hiacynthus the 16 of October 1627 saith as followeth I besought the Emperour to keepe the businesse secret who told me He had already written with his owne hand to the very cover for the more secrecy And a little after I drive on this businesse with earnestnesse albeit I something doubt whether it be necessary or no seeing our friends are minded to doe that which the Count of Zollerne caused to be propounded by a Minister of the Emperours to the Duke of Bavaria a part yee understand well what I would say I have given out that ye are going into Italy and hitherto they know no otherwise Moreover in another letter of the same Nuntio to the said Capuchin of the 20 Octob. 1621 are these words The first Pretention of the Count d'Ognate is to have the upper Austria restored and that for his expences in the warre the Duke of Bavaria have the Electorall Dignity and the upper Palatinate which as the Count of Zollern tels me doth surmount his charges And a little after wherefore I believe the Count d'Ognate nor his minister will ever assent to the Translation unlesse it be for their owne interest thereby to draw into their owne clutches the Nether Palatinate as a Country which much importeth the house of Austria both in regard of the Empire and of the Netherlands For by that meanes the Dutch Protestants can neither assist the Hollanders nor the Hollanders the Dutch Protestants and so the King of Spaine would bee master in the Low Countreyes and the Emperour in Germany It is also very remarkeable what the Duke of Bavaria promised under his hand and seale in the treatie of Vlm which Hee concluded by interposition of the French King with the Protestants then united the 5 of Iuly 1620. where Hee assured them in the word of a Prince and in the most valuable forme in law \ That none should invade or molest the Lands Estates Townes Borroughs villages or possessions of any of the Electours temporall or spirituall nor should any wayes trouble one another in their government or Religion But that the Evangeliks as well as the Catholikes should live in concord together leaving one another to enioy their owne in peace And in the third Article of the said Treaty where the Kingdome of Bohemia and incorporated provinces are excluded The Electorall Palatinate together with the hereditary lands scituated in the Empire are expressely comprehended Which the said Duke of Bavaria did afterwards confirme by his Letters and not alone to Our most honoured Lord and Pather but also to the States of the upper Palatinate even after Hee had accepted the Commission against the Kingdome of Bohemia and Count. Mansfelt as the words of notification sent from Straubing the 8 of September 1621 doe testifie That for his person he had nothing to doe with the upper Palatinate nor had ever done it any wrong All which agreeing with the Emperours promise made to my Lord Digby for a suspension of Armes the beginning of September 1621. whereby He declared That so long as the Treatie of peace should last with the King of Great Brittany Hee would grant no further commission to execute the Ban against the upper Palatinate Our deare Lord and Father had little reason to
