thereof would pull the stoole from vnder vs whereunto some of our Countrey men are assistants therefore rise vp for it is more then time make you ready for the Warre and to speake the truth I cannot beleeue that there is any of our Nation to be found that would suffer himselfe to be hang'd or burnt for the confession of the faith The Turke WE sweare by our God and Mahomet our great Prophet that we will not endure the wrong that not long since hath been done vnto vs in Grecia and else where by certaine Spanish ships that were prepared and made ready in Italy and sweare as afore that before the siluer Moone shall haue shewed her face with cleare light seauen times we will teach them to know who is Emperour though we should make peace with Poland and Persia and therewith employ our power of Podolia Meldauia Walachta Bulgaria Seruia and all Grecia with all the Ilands thereof Nat●lia or Asia The borders of the blacke Salt and Mediteranian Seas I speake not of Siria Iudea Egipt and Barbaria and all the rest belonging to the Turkish power wee will set vpon and assaile all you that are truce breakers and vtterly root you out to the last man The Polander ALas what doth it auaile vs that we haue giuen ayde to the Emperour or the Spaniard whereby wee haue beene forced to sustaine three cruell Warres that is with the Swethlanders Muscouites and the great Turke who spoyleth all our land and if we cannot speedily make peace with the Turk all our Country will be spoyled The Hungarian VVE that are Souldiers and men of courage comfort our selues in all occurrents that happen vnto vs vnlesse it be when men seeke to bring a strange Nation of Spaniards to domineere ouer vs threatning to deale with vs as they did in India with the Country people there but that is not yet brought to passe haue we withstood so great a Warre as all men know wee will rather with our owne Nation in steed of suffering our King to draw backe and giue way seeke to enlarge our borders as farre as we finde any Spaniards to withstand vs and wil set vpon them all as Enemies and make a prey of their lands and goods and will rather burne vp our owne houses and eate our horses flesh then become Subiects vnto the Spaniards or the Austrians The Germanes VVHat bad and crafty dealing is this There comes a hundred thousand diuels with that blacke company that are brought into the land by the Spaniards be it as it will be Hayle and Thunder consume them all both Spirituall and Temporall It is no honour for vs Germanes to seeke to preuaile by such a company of Rascalls Pots excrement a shame take all the villanous Priests men and their Wallon slaues was was was cannot we that are Germanes lustily fall together by the eares and fight and then againe drinke together and be friends Was was it is to great shame There is no remedy but that wee Germanes generally altogether must driue the Spaniards out of the land or else we shal liue vnder their yoake all our liues long and euer haue Warre in our Country The French-man ONe deuill or other heere in our Countrey hath thrust his sticke into the wheele seeing that many yeeres together we haue with great vnity tollerated the Religion and now by meanes of a Spanish Iesuite this heauie and deadly trouble is raised whereby many men come to their ends If all that vngodly company of Spanish brood were in India wee might be in hope of a peace It seemes that wheresoeuer the Spaniard comes Gods blessing is banished farre from thence The Switzers and Grisons VVHat haue we done whose Countrey haue wee taken from them or what riches are here to be found but onely true Christian blood God haue mercie vpon vs for the great and miserable complaints of women and children are exceeding much they neither spare Catholike nor those of the Religion in this great extremity it is vnspeakeable what barbarous cruelty is at this day vsed here vpon poore oppressed men by murthering fleaing slitting their noses dismembring their bodies ioynt from ioynt casting them downe from the tops of hills into the water ripping of womens bodies to see the place from whence men come forth and with a thousand the like vnspeakeable manners of torments and deathes to kill and destroy the Inhabitants of our Countries and to driue the rest away and make the remainer become obedient vnto them take example by vs not to trust the Spaniards nor his adherents but kill before you are killed and so you shall haue peace and doe well The English man Dane Swetherlander and Netherlander VVEE haue taught this Tyrant partly to know himselfe and therefore wee gnash our teeth at him and purpose rather with weapons in our hands to die then to liue vnder such a Tyrant or to endure his intollerable yoake and without doubt if any of these Nations loue the Spaniard then for certaine they are of his minde or at least some of his conquered Bastards which hee ouercame in the time that hee was in these Countries and vnlesse it be the Woolfe I know no beast that willingly will suffer another beast to lye in his nest or denne vnlesse it be a Cucko we finde some in these Countries that put their children to Schoole to learne Spanish in that language to yeeld all honour and curtesie vnto those Signieurs thereby to make him beleeue that that honour iustly belongs vnto him to rule and domineere ouer all Nations whereof hee perswadeth himselfe to be worthy and to deserue it No no not so but keepe the Hollanders Swethlanders and Freseland from yeelding thereunto and who so euer so withstands the Spaniard it shall goe well with him and they shall leaue their children great riches in this world and in the world to come euerlasting life The Indians VVE poore Indians can neither write nor reade and as yet haue not seene many more Christians but the Spaniards but none of our Nation wish to enter into that heauen where the Spaniards said they shall goe but rather to leape into the burning hill of Vulcan and to stay there they haue most barbarously murthered and slaine all our Kings and Princes and taken away all their goods and put many thousands of our Indians by the greatest torments that can be inuented to miserable deathes which still is in our mindes and if once the great Creator that rules the Sunne and Moone would release vs out of this tyrannie what greater ioy could there be heard of in India and wee hope that ere it be long it will come to passe for our Prophets haue fore-shewed the same Signieur what think you Is it not time with all speede to smeare your selfe with Hares greace Yes yes yes Vamos FINIS
