Reigned 24. yeares His onely Issue was Sigismund chosen in his Fathers life time viz. 1587. King of Poland and is yet living Sigismund King of Poland succeeded his Father Iohn in the Kingdome of Sweden Anno 1594. He tooke an Oath to maintaine the priviledges of the Kingdome to admit no other Religion then that of the Augustane Confession and to bring in no Strangers Which Oath he palpably now violating first by going about to alter the Religion then by endevouring to enslaue Sweden by making it to be a Province of the Kingdome of Poland Anno 1599. he was in a full assembly of the States of Sweden rejected and deposed and his Sonne Ladislaus then an Infant chosen in his place But with this Condition If within six moneths he were sent into Sweden there to be brought vp in the Protestant Religion Ladislaus Sonne of Sigismund not being sent into Sweden according to the Condition of his Election lost his title vnto the Kingdome And Charles Duke of Suderman the third and youngest Sonne of Gustavus the deliverer of his Country from the oppression of the Polacks was chosen King in the yeare 1601. Gustavus Adolphus the Sonne of Charles succeeded his Father Anno 1612. being the present and hitherto the successe-full Assertor of the Germane libertie Here may it fayrely be observed 1. That all the posteritie of Gustavus which with himselfe are seaven in number were eyther Kings or elected to a Kingdome vnto the third and fourth generation The last whereof and the seaventh in order is the present Gustavus 2. Obserue That Gustavus Ericus the Grandfather of this Gustavus Adolphus obtained a Kingdome by delivering his Country from the Tyranny of the Danes Charles his Father for delivering it from the Pole In which heroicall disposition of his Ancestors Gustavus Adolphus now succeeds his Father and Grandfather in vndertaking this present warre for the asserting of Germany from the pressures of the present Emperour 3. Besides that this Prince is descended of a Family of Deliverers there seemes to be another Omen in his Stile as well as in his Pedigree he writes himselfe King of the Goths and Vandals which Nations haue once heretofore beene fatall vnto the Empire This braue Prince having in the yeare 16●9 had first a warre with the Pole and then a Peace was by the complaints invitations of the Germane Princes the next yeare brought over into the Empire You haue before heard of the miseries of Germany and yet had the Protestant Princes in their Dyet of Leipsich beene modest in their Remonstrance they had not told you all Stralesundt and Stetin Mecklenburg and Pomerland were so heavily oppressed so sorely over-layd that they had not breath enough left to be heard sigh so farre as the Emperours Court A sound we know is vsually conveighed further along the water then over-land which may perchance be one of the reasons why their complaints are sooner listned vnto in Sweden then at Vienna These Maritime people therefore finding no reliefe ashoare are forced to fetch their succours whence they vsually did their Merchandize out of the Baltick Sea The King of Sweden is allyed with Bogislaus Duke of Stetin and with Iohn Albert and his brother Dukes of Mecklenburg is confederate with Stralesundt and Pomerland and therefore likeliest to be their Friend His safetie much depended vpon theirs had the Emperour beene Maister of those Ports and Sea-coasts he would neither haue beene so fayre a Merchant to him and might withall haue proved a more dangerous and over-maisterly a neighbour Againe this King now having a good Peace had therfore the better leisure His Army being not yet cashier'd the reliefe would not altogether be so chargeable His experience in the warres being great his fame now after the beating of the Pole and two Imperiall Armies in Prussia more he was also thought to be the ablest to deliver them His Majestie therefore being by the pittifull and redoubled complaints of his Allyes his Confederates his Neighbours sollicited over and over againe to come in vnto their rescue that this bare invitation of his Friends might not be censured for a plot betwixt them or not to be cause enough for his comming loe he is even puld over by his enemies provocations But for the greater Authoritie with the Reader we will giue you the just Apologie of that Prince the pressing reasons for his moving with an Army into Germany himselfe having caused to be Printed the Arguments whereof we here abbreviate into Propositions His Majestie first protests That he had not stirr'd at all The King of Swedens Apology complaints no not though he had often beene warned to looke vnto himselfe nor would he take any notice of it vntill some affront or maine occasion of quarrell had beene actually offered by the Emperour That having beene by his oppressed neighbours and Confederates invited vnto their reliefe he for a long time rather expected the Emperours goodnesse towards the Subjects of Germany then desired to interesse himselfe against him with whom he so much desired the continuation of Amitie That the quarrell was first begunne by the Emperour who in the late warres of Prussia betwixt Sweden and Poland had prohibited the King of Sweden to make any Levies of men or provision of victualls or Ammunition in Germany apparently granting the same libertie vnto his enemy the King of Poland That the Emperour himselfe had heretofore sent two severall Armies vnder his own Ensignes into Prussia in ayde of the Pole his enemy the first in the yeare 1627. vnder the Command of the Duke of Holsteyn Walstein was sayd to haue given Arnheim his Commission in these vvords Arnheim goe take 10000 men you must beat the King of Sweden out of Prussia and if you cannot doe it tell him that Walstein vvill come and the second sent 1630. was conducted by Arnheim Marshall of the Feild vnto Walstein That his

inclination and confidence in the Duke towards the King So that notwithstanding his shirt knew nothing yet this may we guesse to haue beene the great secret That if so be the Emperor would not come off or did so fiercely presse vpon him to take in his Country that then if the King of Sweden by his joyning with him were likely to prevaile he would rather side in with him then suffer himselfe to be over-run by the Emperour And that he carried a more private good affection vnto the King then he thought it convenient as yet to discover appeares by his desiring of some expert Commanders of the King and Colonell Teuffell by name to leade his Army But this did not the King at this present yeeld vnto because that had rather engaged the King vnto him then him vnto the King Surely it is that Teuffell was not sent vnto the Duke he being one of those that were on the Kings side slaine afterwards in the great Battle Where the Battell was after fought About the twentieth of August Saxony Musters his forces vpon that fayre plaine or heath by Leipsich namely sixtie Companies of foote ten Companies to every Regiment and 1000. Muskettiers for his owne guards Horse 4300. of which 1000. to a Regiment and 400. for his owne guards over and aboue all which were 1400. Curiassers or men at Armes These be the names of his chiefe Commanders On Foote Swalbach Generall of the Artillery Arnheim Feild-Marshall Hans-George of Solms Glitzwick Looser Star-Schedel Colonels Of the Cavallery these The Duke of Saxon Altenberg Generall Bindtorp Sergeant Major Hoftkerk Steinau Colonels Dove Lieutenant Generall All these troupes being thus Mustered they were presently furnished with 400. Wagons of Provision and Ammunition and sixe peices of Ordnance out of the Dukes Magazine While the Armie stayes thereabouts there is first a Trumpet sent from Tillyes Hoast to demaund passage of the Duke He returning with no satisfying answere Tilly sends these foure Propositions vnto him to which he must haue a sudden and a Categoricall Answere 1. Whether he would like other Princes yeeld vp his forces to the Emperour to beate Sweden out of the Countrey 2. And as a Subject furnish the Imperiall Army with provisions 3. And renounce the Conclusions of Leipsich 4. And restore the Church Lands To all which the Duke about the beginning of September returnes not onely a negatiue resolution but aggravated it also with some Circumstances of vnkindnesse offered him by the Emperour in requitall of his so many good services bemoaning himselfe of the vntrustinesse of the Catholike Princes yea even before the Emperours Ambassador then with him he protests that they should not finde a Duke of Wirtenberg of him he would not suffer himselfe to be led by the nose but bade the Ambassador tell his Lord and spare not that he would liue and dye in defence of the Conclusions of Leipsich This resolution in the Duke was quickned perchance by the French Ambassador then with him so that having discovered himselfe thus farre against the Emperor he sees no way but eyther to be vndone by Tilly or to joyne with Sweden And now while the termes of vniting might be concluded with that King to meete with whom and the Marquesse of Brandenburg himselfe the Tuesday following goes vnto Wittemberg the Duke thinkes of keeping out of Tilly. Having gotten intelligence therefore that the Count of Furstenberg now joyned with Tilly was by him sent as a Vantcurryer vnto Hall and that he made provisions of Bridges the Duke fearing that his meaning was to passe over the Rivers of Sala and Mulda and so to make for the Citie Torgau vpon the Elve which Towne lying betwixt Leipsich and Wittemberg had he once made himselfe Maister of he had quite cut off the King of Sweden from ever comming into Saxony and had gotten all the commaund of the Elve besides Saxony therefore suspecting Furstenbergs intention rises with his whole Army from about Leipsich and makes with all speed towards Torgau both to secure that and there to meete with the King of Sweden also By this time was the sayd Kings Army drawne downe as farre as Wirtemberg himselfe is now at the Consultation of Torgau Brandenburg was already joyned with him and nothing hindred Saxonyes vniting too but some termes partly of caution and partly of honour whether he were to yeeld the whole Command of his owne Army vnto the King or not Which the King absolutely desiring and the Duke making some Objections against the Vnion was the longer a concluding Well! if Saxony will not joyne Tillyes hast for he longs to be beaten shall quicken his slownesse For no sooner doth Furstenberg perceiue his designe for Torgau defeated but thitherward marches he Tilly was now come vp to him With 3000. foote and 1500. horse therefore first he takes in Mursenburg Tilly going towards Welsenfels and other places about Leipsich blocking vp by this meanes even the Towne it selfe And now there was no remedie Saxony must joyne or be lost vpon the 14. of September therefore he thoroughly condescends vnto the King of Swedens Propositions And thus haue wee brought Saxony and Brandenburg into the King of Swedens Army Turne wee backe againe vnto that King to shew by what degrees and approaches he gained thus farre into the Empire The SVVEDISH Intelligencer RELATING THE PROCEEDINGS Of that PRINCE from his first Landing in GERMANY 1630. vntill his great Victory over TILLY HISTORICALLY DIGESTED For the Readers better vnderstanding of the King of Sweden wee haue here given you his Majesties Pedigree which may serve in stead of an Introduction THE PEDIGREE Of the High and Mightie Prince Gustavus Adolphus by the Grace of God King of Swedens Goths and Vandals great Prince of Finland Duke of Esthonia and Carelia Lord of Ingria Gustavus Ericus Ericus Iohannes Sigismundus Ladislaus Carolus Gustavus Adolphus GVSTAVVS ERICVS Briefe notes vpon this Pedigree first of that name and bloud was one of those six Hostages sent vnto that scarce to be paralleld Tyrant Christiern King of Denmark Anno 1518.

About which time the sayd King Christiern contrary vnto his promise made vnto the Swedes vpon their submission vpon which he promised to remit all offences beyond all examples of Christianitie within foure dayes after his Coronation causes all the Nobilitie Gentry Bishops Counsellors and prime Citizens of the Kingdome of Sweden to be eyther hang'd or beheaded the streetes of Stockholme where he was Crowned to runne with bloud the carcasses to lye three dayes vnburied and then to be burned c.
