<P>_THat having beene heretofore by promi&s;e engaged to giue you all the three parts of the <HI>Swe|di&s;h Di&s;cipline,</HI> wee are heere enforced to pre&s;ent you with the <HI>fir&s;t</HI> onely, and that di&s;membred from the other <HI>two;</HI> We humbly de&s;ire you to accept of this fayre ex|cu&s;e for it. Tis done to prevent your being abu&s;ed by an|other: who ayming (as may be &s;u&s;pected) more at his owne profit, than the benefit of his Reader: vpon hope of venting his Booke vnder that mo&s;t acceptable name of this victorious King; is about to thru&s;t the&s;e following Prayers vpon the world; barely taken, and perchance not &s;o literally tran&s;lated, out of the Booke called <HI>Arma Suecica.</HI> One thing or two (be&s;ides the v&s;ele&s;&s;ene&s;&s;e of the volume he is about to Print it in) over-&s;lipped in his Tran&s;lation, wee here thinke fit to tell you of, which vpon &s;ight of &s;ome of the printed &s;heetes (the Copie ha|ving by him&s;elfe beene before &s;old vnto vs) we di&s;covered.
<PB REF="5"><HI>Fir&s;t,</HI> That his Tran&s;lator hath no where ob&s;erved how many &s;entences in the&s;e Prayers (which are taken out of the Common Prayer Booke v&s;ed in the Kingdome of <HI>Sweden</HI>) are the &s;ame with tho&s;e in our Engli&s;h Common Prayer Booke: the rea&s;on of it being, for that both our Common Prayer Booke and theirs, were taken out of one and the &s;ame Trea&s;ury of Antiquitie.</P>
<P>The &s;econd omi&s;sion of his Tran&s;later is this: That he hath not beene diligent enough to turne vnto tho&s;e pla|ces of holy <HI>Scripture,</HI> out of which the mo&s;t of the&s;e Prayers are gathered: nor hath ob&s;erved the allowed and be&s;t Tran&s;lation of our Church; but done it in his owne phra&s;es. And that our Booke hath beene carefull in this poynt, wee appeale to the <HI>Scriptures</HI> quoted in the Margent: which is a third thing in which his other Booke is al&s;o defectiue. As for other differences in per|formance, in the <HI>faithfulne&s;&s;e</HI> and <HI>literallne&s;&s;e</HI> of Tran&s;lation; that wee wholly referre vnto the Iudge|ment of the able Readers.</P>
<P>Thus having made you acquainted with our purpo&s;e; wee al&s;o referre it vnto your di&s;cretions, either to &s;tay your hands from buying of eyther; or tho&s;e that buy ours, to keepe it till next weeke that the other two Parts come out al&s;o: at which time they may be bound together, as was at fir&s;t intended. The &s;econd part of the <HI>Intelli|gencer</HI> is likewi&s;e now in hand, which we hope ere long to furni&s;h you with, if it plea&s;es God.</P>

<PB N="30" REF="20">more private and premeditated con&s;iderati|on; and uttered in publicke, and <HI>extempore,</HI> as it &s;eemed. The fir&s;t was at his Maje&s;ties fir&s;t landing upon the coa&s;ts of <HI>Germanie;</HI> where &s;o &s;oone as ever he out of his long boate &s;et his foote upon the dry Land, he thus by prayer and thanke&s;giving, in Gods Name tooke po&s;&s;e&s;&s;ion of the Countrey; him&s;elfe while&s;t his men were landing, &s;tep|ping a little a&s;ide, and before them all, upon his knees, uttering the&s;e words of devotion. O mo&s;t great God, that commaunde&s;t what ever thou plea&s;e&s;t both in heaven, and earth, and in the &s;urging Seas: what thankfulne&s;&s;e am I now bound to render unto thee, for that thou ha&s;t pre&s;erved me thus &s;afely, in all this &s;o perilous a voyage? Againe and a|gaine doe I from the very bottome of my heart and &s;oule, giue thankes unto thee: and here I humbly be&s;eech thee, that &s;eeing, as thou very well knowe&s;t, I haue not un|dertaken this expedition for any private end of mine owne, but onely for thine honours &s;ake; and to be &s;ome comfort and a&s;&s;i&s;tance unto thine afflicted Church: &s;o (if &s;o be the time which thy &s;elfe ha&s;t appoynted, be al|readie come) thou would&s;t now be plea&s;ed

<P>When his Coun&s;ellors and Commanders then next his per&s;on, &s;aw their devout King thus on the bare ground upon his knees; and heard with what a fervencie of &s;pirit he uttered the&s;e devotions; an inward comfort and an holy joy they tooke at it, wrought more with them than their enemies could yet ever doe; that is, even forced, and pre&s;&s;ed teares out of their manly eyes. This his pi|ous Maje&s;tie then perceiving, Forbeare to weepe, &s;ayes he to them, but heartily con|joyne your prayers with me: for the greater the army of prayers is, the greater and more a&s;&s;ured &s;hall the victory be. He that prayes diligently, hath in part overthrowne the e|nemy already, and already gotten the victo|ry. Thus having &s;ayd, he out of two hundred long boates lands his men, then on the
<PB N="32" REF="21">&s;hoares &s;ide, and then &s;ends them to his &s;hippes to fetch more: and God &s;o heard him, and the winde &s;o favoured him; that according to his former prayers, his whole Army very &s;hortly, and very &s;afely arri|ved.</P>
<P>I will not here compare this prayer of this pious and victorious Prince, vnto that of the great <HI>Io&s;uah;</HI> at who&s;e reque&s;t the Sunne &s;tood &s;till, as the winde here did at his: but that you may &s;ee that God did indeed heare the prayers of this King too; I will now giue you a more eminent example of it. The Papi&s;ts, had one of theirs done it, would un|doubtedly haue cryed out, A miracle: and well they might: for few &s;uch they haue, but I will onely thinke of it, as of a pre&s;ent and a vi&s;ible ble&s;&s;ing &s;ent from that great God, to whom the windes and the Seas o|beyed. And thus it was.</P>
<P>The King a little after this, having a de|&s;igne upon <HI>Stetin;</HI> and his Army now readie upon the &s;hoare, and his boats readie upon the River to imbarke them; the winde, be|hold, was contrary, and &s;o had beene for &s;ome dayes before. This the King ob&s;er|ving, turning a little a&s;ide, he before his Ar|my
<PB N="33" REF="21">with bended knees, and hands lift up to Heaven, uttered the&s;e words.</P>
<P>O thou mo&s;t ju&s;t God! full well thou knowe&s;t, that this enterpri&s;e I did not at fir&s;t undertake, out of any ra&s;hne&s;&s;e, or am|bition, but for the glory of thy mo&s;t holy Name, and the defence of the truth of thy Word: here, therefore, now call I vpon thy Godhead, and mo&s;t humbly doe I be&s;eech thee; that with the ayre of thy favour, and with a pro&s;perous winde, thou would&s;t vouch&s;afe to breath vpon this my vnderta|king. Amen.</P>
<P>No &s;ooner was this prayer ended, but the winde &s;uddenly, as a man might &s;ay, chopt about, and &s;wel'd the <HI>Swedi&s;h</HI> &s;ayles with &s;o hard a gale, that the whole Fleete pa&s;&s;ing the <HI>Swing,</HI> or arme of the <HI>Oder,</HI> was in two houres &s;pace runne full &s;ixe <HI>Germane</HI> myles (twentie of ours perchance if not more) and all on the &s;udden, when they were little looked for, came to an Anchor within an <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> myle of <HI>Stetin,</HI> to the great admira|tion of the beholders, and the greater de|feate

<P>And thus much, though I now giue you, out of a <HI>Latine</HI> Copie; yet, to confe&s;&s;e the truth, did I in the writing of my former Booke, finde mentioned in one of the week|ly <HI>Currantoes:</HI> how that the Kings Fleete was by a &s;trong and a &s;udden Northerly winde, &s;trangely advanced through the <HI>Oder,</HI> even to the very walles of the Citie.
