Captaines both of horse and foot Ensignes Lievtenants and to all other Officers and generally to all Soldiers both foot and horse of what nation dignity and condition soever and in what service out of our Armies soever they are or may be unto whom these our Patents and Commandements or a true copy thereof which we will have beleeved and obeyed as the Originall it selfe shall appeare We hereby doe signifie Wheras by Letters dated the fourth of April last the Elector and Duke of Saxen hath given us notice of a conclusion made by the Electors States Counsellors Ambassadours Deputies and Commissioners of such Protestants as were absent lately assembled at Leipsick the strangenesse whereof hath much moved and filled with displeasure our Imperiall heart since that the said Electors Princes and States have agreed and bound themselves quite contrary to our admonitions sent before to the said electour of Saxen under pretext of an order of Execution of the Circles to make a dangerous preparation of Warre and without any signification of their number and designes make now already as from divers parts we are advertised in severall Circles and particularly in our Imperiall Cities great levies And whereas it is easie to presume that at this perillous constitution of the Empire where the King of Sweden is entered as an enemy and having already taken whole Pomerany a part of the Mark of Brandenburg and some places Mecke●burg will daily proceede and incite other forraine forces to doe much Where the rebellious Towne of Magdenburg is not yet brought to obedience and where many old dangers doe yet appeare such a dangerous beginning and intent would tend to hinder and as it were to bereave us of all meanes to maintaine the Warres now so requisite for the defence and necessity of the holy Empire and States thereof it would further and advantage the power of the enemies cause yet a greater confusion troubles and evils and withall a farre greater mistrust and hatred amongst this Nation Yea unlesse it be with all speed withstood it would bring into the whole Roman Empire of the German Nation our deare Country a new unquenchable fire whereby the same which these 800 yeeres hath most sweetly flourished would now at once bee consumed to ashes and wholly overthrowne Therefore we knowing that our duty requires that as Roman Emperour we doe prevent all such threatning evills and that such agreements and unions are not to be made nor suffered without the knowledge consent and pleasure of the Roman Emperour who we are but that they are quite contrary unto the Laws orders and constitutions of the Empire and the dehortations and admonitions made by us being prohibited under great and grievous punishments so that wee intend by no meanes to suffer the same We doe hereby admonish will and command you and every of you and our expresse will pleasure and commandement is that you doe not give nor permit any place of Rendez-vous unto my troopes or souldiers that are may or might be levied on the behalfe of the said agreement and conclusion made at Leipsick Neither grant any of them passage or passe whatsoever but rather where any shall be met or found that you beat destroy disperse and kill them as you will answer the contrary at your perils of the punishments expressed in the constitutions of the Empire And most earnestly we doe require and command you the Colonels Lievtenants Captaines Ensignes Commanders and all other Officers both of horse and foot and all soldiers of what name condition and quality soever they are or may be that already are received and entred or shall yet enter into service of the said preparation and agreement made at Leipsick against our knowledge will and pleasure and against our deho●tations and the Lawes and Rights of the Empire and more particularly all those that in any way are subject unto us and the holy Empire upon paine and perils comprehended in the said Imperiall constitutions and upon paine to lose all the priviledges favours rights lands possessions and also all rights of Companies Cities and birth And such others as are not subject to us nor the Empire upon paine of death when and wheresoever they shall be apprehended Wee most earnestly and expresly command to give over and forsake all such service and in time to come never to returne or enter into the same without our knowledge and permission under what pretext or colour soever they be required or may be induced And that you make no excuse of your stay by reason of the oath you may or might be sworne and bound by since the same in this constitution of time is without force I and we doe hereby and by vertue of our Imperiall power discharge and free you of And if there should be found some amongst you the said Colonels Captaines Ensignes and other Officers and common soldiers of horse or foot that have entered into any service either at home in their owne Country or abroad amongst the troopes of strangers they and every of them that in obedience to this our Imperiall commandement doe or shall returne from that their service unto our troopes there to serve us and the Empire and bring their attestations from our Officers shall have a generall and speciall pardon and be received againe into our Imperiall grace And we will and command withall you the said Electors Princes and States lately thus arrived at Leipsick not to charge or lay upon your vassals tenants inhabitants burgers and subjects in all and every your Countryes Dominions Cities and also all Imperiall Townes and Dominions any contribution taxe or subsidy for and on the behalfe of your said levies intended and made against our will and contrary to the constitutions of the Empire Commanding withall if any such imposition and contribution is or should be required all you the vassals tenants burgers inhabitants and subjects aforesaid upon the like and afore mentioned paine and upon perill to lose all priviledges rights and freedomes abovementioned not to pay or to deliver the said contribution but rather to remaine constant and faithfull in those duties you owe to us as Roman Emperour and Supreme head of the hol● Roma● Empire and also to shew all favour and furtherance to him that b●ingeth this our Imperiall and expresse commandement that the same may without any let or molestation bee hung up and published according to your duty and according to our resolution and gracious and constant intention that we will not suffer you nor any of you the Electors Princes and all others upon your obedience and duty you shall shew herein to be troubled or grieved either by us or others against the peace of the Religion and Policy And hereof you are not to faile but dutifully to obey as you tender our pleasure

and will avoid the punishments and reall execution of the foresaid paine And this is our expresse will and pleasure Given at Vienna the fourteenth day of May 1631. Extract of severall fresh Letters written out of Germany THe cruelty used by the Imperialists at the taking of Magdenburg the like no History hath nor could ever make mention of had indeed troubled many Protestants in Germany especially the Elector of Saxen found himselfe much perplexed upon the newes thereof when he likewise was much troubled and urged by an Imperiall Ambassadour and many other Messengers and letters both from the Emperour and other Catholike Electors and Princes Howsoever seeing by the example of Magdenburg what he and others of his Profession and Religion have to looke for at their enemies hands and promises and considering the Imperiall Mandates and Proclamations published like a thunder against the conclusion lately taken by him and other Protestant Princes and States assembled at Leipsick and hearing withall of the doubt and feare divers made of his constancie in the said resolution he both gave order for the greater speed in the levying of his owne forces and sent also severall Messengers to other Protestant Princes States and Imperiall Cities with ample letters whereby he doth not onely assure them of his constancie and proceeding in the performance of their resolution But exhorteth them also to make greater haste and to take more care than some of them did hitherto to prepare and defend themselves representing the great necessity and danger their enemies extraordinary arming threatnings and executions would else bring them into These letters of his have very much rejoyced and strengthened all the good party especially Norimberg Strasburg and other good Townes the most part whereof are already well provided and armed But Memming lying some what aside and feeling already those Imperiall forces as came and yet daily come out of Italy which amount to some six or seven thousand thereabouts neere them they feare as being neerest to the danger the execution might beginne at their Towne howbeit they have as yet and doe still refuse any further contribution and admittance of an Imperiall Garrison where formerly they were subject unto The Elector of Saxen hath laid 10. or 12. thousand men upon his frontiers and makes great preparation Tilly marches with an armie of 25000. men up into Germany either into the Dukedome of Wimar as some thinke or else towards the Country of Hessen as is most likely there to defeat the forces of the Circle of the Rhine who have there their Rendezvous and part whereof have lately defeated some of those Imperiall tsoops that Tilly had sent to hinder their said Rendezvous The King of Sweden having firmed a royall Campe since the Elector of Saxen did not grant him for his surety and retreate the Towne of Wittenberg to put his Garrison into nor passage through his Country expecteth more forces out of Prussia and from other parts meane while he hath an armie in Silesia to which he hath sent some troopes for reinforcing and the better to oppose them all against the Jmperialists that intend to besiege Crossen Some of his Caualrie met lately with five Companies of Crabates that came out of Magdenburg laden with very rich booty they made there which five Companies were all defeated and left all their riches as if they had expresly fetched the same unto the Swedish troopes The like good fortune befell lately to the Garrison of Wesell who met with a convoy that carried much money towards the Spanish Camp which convoy being also beaten left all the money behinde them in their enemies hands From Arnhem the 11. of Iune Our souldiers of Wesell and the neere adjoyning Garrisons 160 strong have defeated a Convoy which was going from Culin to Antwerp they were conducted by those of Rhynberk Orsoy were set upon by our men neere about Deuren In which exploit our soldiers obtained great booty 150000 Rixdollers in specie much Silke other rich commoditie swherewith divers Carts were laden The rest of the bootie besides the readie Coine doth amount to the summe of 250000 Rixdollers this bootie they brought into Wesell last Sunday in the vening and 60 or 70 serviceable horses and 2 Ensignes The spanish soldiers fled all of them onely the waggoners and some other labouring men opposed our men and killed 3 or 4 of them but there was no meanes for them to prevaile The Governour Chancellour Councell of the Province of Geldria and the Earldome of Zutphen have prescribed a generall day of meeting the 17 of Iune at Nimmegen where the whole countrie is to appeare The 12. of Iune from the Army of his Excellence the Prince of Orange Whereas his Excell the Prince of Orange had pitcht Armie at the side of the River Ley before the Citie Bridges the 3 of moneth each one thought that his Excellence was of intention to approach besiege the said Citie But now it appeares probably that his Excel was not so minded for he did not entrench himselfe there but lay with his Army in the field onely In the meane while certaine Committees were sent out of the said Citie in the name of the 4 parts of Flanders to treat with his Excellēce concerning the Contribution which was behind and had long time beene unpayd insomuch that they gave securitie for entire payment of 10 yeares contribution Whereupon his Excell with his whole Army departed and the verie same night tooke his resting place at Maldegom where we passed the 5 of Iune over the river Lieve towards Walichem and from thence toward Eckelo and Caprick and the 7 of sune returned backe with our whole armie at Watervliet where his Excell instantly caused retrenchments to be cast up all along the Holland Dike for the better ensuring of his armie so that in case the spanish forces which as wee understood had continually followed us had come upon us then had we taken the said Dike for our defence The 8 of Iune the provision of his Excell was embarqued and his horse troopes being commanded presently as soone as they should be landed to march toward Bergen op Zoome Yesterday were all the Land-forces shipt and all the waggons put aboard The firelockes in the meane time stood in battle array and held the watch untill all things were safely embarqued Thus with the whole traine of our armie wee marched from Ysendyck to Rammekens so downwards sayling many hundred shippes together so forsooke the Flemish coasts which country in this our expedition wee have wholly brought under contribution untill the verie Citie Geudt His Excellence in this expedition had a verie vigilant regard over his whole armie and a speciall care that all things might be carried verie orderly insomuch that hee caused many of his soldiers to bee hanged for their misdemeanours and insolencies committed against the inhabitants of the Countrie But the like care was not taken on the other side for many of our soldiers which did straggle somewhat out of their limits had by them their Noses and Eares cut off Three soldiers wives with a child of 8 yeares were taken by the Flemish and hanged The same day that we came to Watervliet the spanish that night arrived at Caprick but did not shew themselves any neerer unto us So that in this enterprize wee have not met with our enemie to any purpose and have found no resistance worthy of relation Onely wee were informed that the enemie brought his whole armie together therewith intending to cut off all passages from our armie and hinder the victualls from comming to us What shall follow hereafter in time we shall acquaint you From Dort 13. of Iune The armie of his Excellence the Prince of Orange is returned againe out of Flaunders into these parts Before this Citie are many ships laden with Ordnance Munition provision and all warlike necessaries Most of the horsemen were landed at Geertruydenbergh presently hasted thence to Oosterhout Gilsen other villages about Breda The foot forces sayle all of them toward the high lower Swalwe and Geertruydenbergh whether these also will land there the time will manifest In the meane while here and in divers other places many thousands of loaves are baked for the armie The countrie people in the countrie of Heusden and Altena flye with all their goods and moveables from their country habitations into the Cities Their Excellencies the States have prohibited preaching among the Catholickes in the Villages Townes belonging to S'hertogenbosch so that all the Churches are shut up continually Wee have intelligence from Antwerpe with the last letters that in the beginning of May the fleet of 25 ships at Lisbona is set sayle among these are 15 Gallioons with 4000 some suppose they are gone toward Calis Malis 〈◊〉
