about Wesel Here it was also agreed vpon to send Prince Lodowick with some others another way into Holland that so the Country-people might be satisfied with his presence in stead of the Princes which tooke effect accordingly and did not onely giue the people good content through whom he passed who came flocking into the high waies to see him but also diuerted their expectations from any thought of his passage any other way by meanes whereof his Highnes the Prince of Bohemia passed in his way with the more safety and secrecy From Spanburg Castle we came next to the Castle of Arden which is vnder the Graue of Benthem and so by Glandorpe to Mareling where we lodged all night From whence forward the Towns being neer so well known I forbeare to make any further description of them but onely name them as we passe through them From thence we went to Russenbeck from thence to Embsbourne from thence to North-horne from thence to Hardenberg where we lodged From thence we went to Realte from thence to Deuenter in Holland where we met with the Princes againe The next day we set forwards towards Swoll which is a strong Town of Garrison where we staied two nights and one day And here the Count Ernest van Cassimere who comming in Post from the Prince of Oranges Leaguer at Wesel had before met with the Princes receiued the Prince into his charge and safe protection And here Prince Lodowick departed from his Highnes went directly towards the Hage And Prince Frederick kept on towards Freezland The next day at dinner being the 25. of October wee came to a Citty of Garrison called Steenwick where his Highnesse was met by the Burgers in Armes receiued into the Town with a volley of shot and comming to the Castle they discharged a peale of Ordinance for his welcome and all marched by in warlike manner in the Princes view From thence after dinner they came to Wolfingow where they rested all that night The next day they dined at Hernenfen and came the same night to Luerden in Freezland

time being receiued in succession of Count William of Nassaw his brother lately deceased for Gouernour of Friezland The Prince being come to the Court and brought to an exceeding faire Chamber beheld all the Townsmen marching by in their Armes then being brought to the Chamber of the Countesse he was there most Nobly entertained by them both with all ioy and solemnity And thus it pleased the Almighty God to leade this sweet young Princes first one way and then againe another way now through friends Countries and now through foes as from Heidleberg in the Palatinate to Prage in Bohemia at first so now againe from Prage to Luerden which is almost round about the middle part of Germany A Iourney by Land which would haue tired the little Iül●s Which two as they may hitherto be compared together for their high birth both being borne of gods and both descended from Venus and their early trauels and in the losse of their natiue Countries so it may please God also to conclude them alike
