thinhabitances of thesayd contry of Coppenhagen denyed them their requsst kyng Christiane beseged the sayd citye wyth such power and troubled them so sore on euery syde that no victualles might come at them by no maner of meanes In so muche that wythin short space victualles waxed so scant and famme so increaâ—led wythin the cyty that they were glad to vse dogges fleshe for theyr meate and also cattes And when thys prouisyon dyd also fayle them and no deliueraunce eppeared of no part for they hoped that Frederike the Palatine who had taken to wyfe the doughter of kyng Christierne as before is mentioned should haue moued battayll agaynst the Duke of Holstone whyche came not to passe they yelded vp the cyty to the chosen kynge Christian aboue mencyoned Durynge thesayed siege the kynges souldiours ouercame Warborough and toke that false Capytayne of the Lubekes called Markes Mayer prysoner who wyth hys brother Gerard Mayer and a Danysh pryeste was quartered shortly after After that thesayd Christian had ouercome and subdued the hole kyngdome of Denmarke accordyng to the duety of all godlye kynges and prynces he directed all hys doynges and procedynges to thys ende that the worde of God myghte be purely and syncerely preached and taughte to hys pore subiectes in all partes of hys dominions But when he perceyued the preuy practises which the Bishoppes of that lande for they were in a maner the mightyest of both the kyngdomes of Denmarke and Norway imagined and purposed to worke against hym to hyndre his godly enterprise and to mayntayne their Idolary he toke them all seuen for so many were they in nombre and deposed them from their power and dignitie so that they were not able any more to make diuision sedicion or commotion within his kyngdome as they were wonte to do When this was done he sent messengers to Wit tenbourgh and called for the right honorable and well learned doctor Iohn Bugenhaghe borne in the dominion of Pomerlande who is yet at thys daye preacher of Goddes worde and minister or curate at the parysh Churche at Wittenbourgh as he was then This godly man came at the kynges request and by the helpe of God establyshed in bothe the kyngdomes the preaching of the Gospell and the true ministracion of the Sacramentes very frutefully so that within the space of thre yeres for so long was he by about the kyng all the paryshes of the lande which were aboue .xxiiii. thonsande in nombre were prouided and furnyshed with preachers and ministers hauing Super attendenres ordeyned and appointed ouer them to haue the ouersyght of them and to haue an earnest respecte and a watchefull eye to their doctrine and conuersation of lyuing He crowned also kyng Christian at Coppenhaghe in the presence of all his nobles with the kyngly crowne of the land of both the kyngdomes And after this at the kinges request he prouided and furnyshed the high Scole or vniuersitie of Coppenhaghe with Lecures and Reders of holy scripture and of all other laudable sciences For the better increase and furnyshyng whereof he called for certayne learned men froÌ„ Wittenbourgh although the lande was not all voyde of suche men before To the mayntenaunce of whiche Godly order and institucion of doctrine as wel in the Churche as in the vniuersytie the kyng gaue large gyftes and appoynted great liuynges And he set such an order in both the kyngdomes that his subiectes may be glad and geue God hygh thankes that of his goodnes he woulde sende them suche a kyng God sende hym longe to reigne among them and styrre vp the like in many other regions to the praise and sanctifycacion of hys moste holy name Amen Henry the eyght kyng of Englande had his imbassadours certayne monethes at Wittenbourgh whiche accordynge to the kynges request caryed wyth them in Englande certayne wel learned doctours to preache the Gospell of Christ within hys Realme and dominions whereof the hole congregacion of Christ thoroughout all Germany conceiued a speciall reioysynge and comforte But alas their ioye was not longe permanent for the saied kyng within two yeares after repelled them and caused some of them to be put to death as here tikes And Englyshe men haue had a certayne prophecy of great antiquitie that when saynt Georges daye should fall on good frydaye whiche is in the yeare of oure lorde MD. xlvi the worde of God shoulde myghtely increasse and taken place among them which I praye God graunt vnto theÌ„ to his prayse and glory This yere in England also the lorde Darcy syr Fraunces Bygot Syr Robert Constable other began a newe conspyracy whiche were attaynted and put to death in Iune This yere in October in England also on saynt Edowardes euen was Prince Edowarde borne at Hampton Court whiche was proclaimed anoynted kyng of Englande the .ix. yere of his age as shal be declared hereafter in due place This yere the .xiiij. daye of October also dyed Quene Iane mother to the saied Prince Edward and was buried at Winsor This yere did Iames the kyng of Scotlande puyssaunt kyng Iohn of Portingale Sonne to the excellent kyng Emanuell had a great conflicte and victory agaynst the infideles in the Realme of Cambaia or Guzuratum lyeng in the Indes For after that he had by his capitaines specially by Nonne a Cugria who was ruler and gouernour of the kinges army in the Indes destroyed the coastes lieng towardes the Indysh sea subiecte to the kyng of Cambaia and when the same kyng was not able to resyste hym although he was of power to brynge foure hundred thousand men in Campe he made a gentle agrement with the Portyngalles and delyuered them two mighty cities with all their abilyties priuiledges liberties and dominions whereof the one is called Bazaim and the other Dium this the stronger and the other the rycher Whiche haue both vnder them about a syx hundreth Villages with certayn smal townes and srutesul landes contayning in length about a .lxxx. myles or leaques wherof the king hath yerely an C. thousand crewnes at the least in bare tribute besydes the woode whence for the mooste part all the prouision is takeÌ„ that is occupied for the shyppes in the Indes with other aduauntages In those partes caused the kyng of Portingall the Christian fayth to be planted and at the last kyng Badur of Cambaia for so was he called when he was inuaded by kyng Dey who was kynge of the Scythians and of the Tartares fled with all his treasure mother wyfe and chyldren into the Cytie of Dyum whiche he had geuen vp before desyrynge succour and defence against his enemy So that by this meanes the king of Portyngall had obtayned the moste parte of all the lande of the Indes vnder his tuition and defence without any notable shedyng of bloude These actes are described at large by the sayed kyng in a
constauncy faithfulnes which he had vsed towards his prince in y â— he had so coÌ„stantly resisted and repelled his aduersary and after that he had endued hym with great giftes he sent hym againe to his owne Assone nowe as the Turke with his armie was departed from the saied towne and had geuen ouer the sayed syege the wall of the sayed Towne fell downe to the grounde by it selfe whereby it may appeare that the same was afore preserued and defended from that violent power of the Turke by the myghty hande and assistence of God Nowe when the Turke perceiued suche a great power of the germayne nation commynge agaynst hym â–ª he retyred backwarde againe with his power whiche all ready entred into Stewermarke as farre forth as Graytes and made his arryr to marche and passe alonge by the sayed Towne of Graytes euen from the dawnyng in the mornyng vntyll the next morowe folowyng whereof it maye easely be gathered with what power he was come thether But yet to thyntent he myght not seme to haue bestowed all his laboure in vayne and to haue â—led without any harme done to the Germayne nation he left behynde hym not farre from the newe towne in Austriche about xiâ— thousande â–ª some say xvi thousand men to destroie the borders of Steyermâ—â—â—â—â— and Austrych as sone as the Germayne warriours shoulde haue remoued Howbeit after muche searchyng thesaied nomber of men was espyed and theyr â–ª enterpryse brought to lyght For thys cause Duke Frederike chief Capitayne toke vnto hym a certain nomber of launce knightes or Pietons and a certayn nomber of heauy horsemen with whome he vndertoke and attempted to smite the said multitude of Turkes and compassed them on euery syde besydes the montaynes by a great cawssy and caused certain dubble souldiours well armed to folowe them at their hyles to barre them in for turnyng backwarde agayne of the whiche dubble souldiours was Capitayne one Sebastiane Skartell of Ausborongh insomuch that the saied Turkes were first assayled with two heapes against whom they defended them selues stoutely but yet they lost ther about a thousand of their own men whereupon eftsones they toke their flyght but as they would haue fled out of the mountaines the other heapes of our men were in their neckes by whom also they were all discomfited and slaine so that no Turke might escape Some of them they founde afterwarde on the mountaynes and in wodes and some vpon trees where they were fled to saue their lyues amonge whome some were shot-down with gonnes lyke byrdes or wyldefoule and some were taken and deliuered to the Trosse to cut and mangle them at their pleasures whiche were very pyteously chopped and carued of the younger sorte of people After that this alarme was ceassed and qualified the Emperoure and the kyng roade forth into the campe of the Germaines and the Emperoures maiestie beholdyng the people as they stode in aray maruayled excidyngly coÌ„cernyng the nombre and multitude of them insomuche it was reported that he should aske of duke Frederick the vpper capitain whether suche an other multititude of men might be founde and assembled thoroughout all Duchelande whereunto thesaide Duke made aunswere that it was scant perceyued in the townes of Ducheland that any man there was missing or lackyng after this as some do affyrme there should be takeÌ„ a certayne truce and agrement with the Turke for a certayne tyme but how after what sorte and maner or on what condition this hangeth yet within the penne â–ª and is lyke also there to remayne yet a whyle Some are of this opinioÌ„ that the cause why the Emperoures maiestie made no haste to pursue after the Turke was this that winter was at haÌ„d and that therefore the warriours were dismissed and sent away so that with the saied innumerable multitude of warriours littel good was donesauig that muche money was vnprofytably wasted and expended Wherfore I suppose after myne owne iudgement that in case the Emperours and the kinges maiestie had proceded and gone forward with that armye or multytude whiche was there at that tyme assembled and gathered together and had made sure certayne townes in Hungary which would gladly haue rendred and yelded themselues again while the Turkes fled and had at the going out of winter be gonne agayne to seke the Turke at home in his owne lande the Turkysh tyraunt woulde no more so spitefully plage vs in our coÌ„treis But thus wold God punysh vs yet loÌ„ger for our wickednes for the whiche cause also God did suffre the best couÌ„ sail to be hindred by one man only for it is thought that the Emperours maiestie was by the only coun sayll of Anthony de Leua turned from thesaid pur sewte so that the Turke had a free and sure passage home agayne into his owne dominions and remained vnharmed in Hungary for somuche as he was not there put to any losse or hynderaunce by our men or on our behalf While these thynges were a doing in Austriche and Steirmarke Andrew de Aurea chief capitain of themperours maiesties nauy vpon the seas weÌ„t at themperours coÌ„maundement with an exceding great Armade or navy vnto the citie of Corona whiche lieth in the Ilonde of the Grekes somtyme called Poloponesus and nowe Morea whiche citie he did ouercome and expelled from thence all the Turkes But the Christians did not longe enioye the same for within two yeres after the Turkes obtayned the possession of the saied towne agayn smal to our reioysing When the matter was nowe in Austriche qualified and all thinges quiet the Emperour Charles the fift returned thorough the mountaines of Stiermarke namely thorough kerint and Frioulesonttyme called Forum Iuly and so through Mantua into Italy agayne to the Pope Clement by name who came to mete hym at Bononia with greate pompe and solempnitie in so muche that he continued in Italy all the winter of this yere stablishing the same in order peace and tranquilitie In EnglaÌ„d was also in this yere moued a battel For kyng Henry the eight sent men into Scotland against Iames the fift kyng of the Scottes where in coÌ„clusion they slew a great nomber toke many prisoners and so returned Also in the same yere dyed the ryght hygh and myghty prince â–ª Iohn duke of Saxon and electour imperiall c. and was honorably buried at Wittenborough in the Castel churche whose sonne and heire is the ryght noble and christen Prince Iohn Fredericke whiche after the deceasse of his saied father succeded in the gouernaunce of the saied dukedome of Saxon as electour imperiall rulynge the same moste honorably in the feare of God muche to
