<HEAD>From <HI>Rome</HI> the <HI>2.</HI> of <HI>Iune, 1632.</HI></HEAD>
<P>_ON Munday la&s;t the Cardinall of <HI>Strigonia,</HI> parted from hence homeward with little or no &s;atisfaction; The Pope never v&s;ed nor acknowledged him as an <HI>Imperiall</HI> Amba&s;&s;a|dor, and after his fir&s;t audience, his Holi|ne&s;&s;e would never haue him heard in the Con&s;i&s;torie, and to that end he never did call the &s;ame toge|ther; &s;o that at la&s;t, the &s;aid Cardinall being out of hope to haue any publike audience more, and having &s;pent all his mo|nies, re&s;olved (being inforced &s;o to doe) to returne home a|gaine, without any order for the de&s;ired monies for his <HI>Im|periall</HI> Maje&s;tie. For although there was &s;ent &s;ome order for 60000. Crownes vnto the <HI>Nuncio Grimaldi,</HI> yet was there &s;uch care v&s;ed, that the &s;aid money is not yet paid, and is not like to be paid &s;o &s;oone.</P>
<P>Before the &s;aid Cardinall parted, he did remon&s;trate by a writing the wrong his Holine&s;&s;e had done vnto him in &s;eve|rall poynts, e&s;pecially in not having him approved and v&s;ed as an <HI>Imperiall</HI> Amba&s;&s;ador, which dignity other Cardinals in time pa&s;t haue enjoyed. Therevpon the Pope &s;aid if the like hath beene granted in times pa&s;t, now We haue rea&s;ons to the contrary, which moue vs to graunt that honour neither to you, nor to any other. True it is, We haue given way and leaue to the Cardinall <HI>de Richelieu</HI> to bee a Generall of an Ar|my, but he doth exerci&s;e that charge for the publicke good of <HI>Chri&s;tendome,</HI> of <HI>France,</HI> and of the <HI>French</HI> King, which rea&s;ons neither you nor Cardinall <HI>Borgia</HI> can pretend.</P>
<PB N="2" REF="2">
<P>The Pope hath cau&s;ed a Bull to bee prepared, (though not yet publi&s;hed) whereby he doth anatematize and excommu|nicate all that take Armes again&s;t the <HI>Catholike</HI> Religion. And this the Pope hath done to ridde him&s;elfe of the importunity of the <HI>Au&s;trian</HI> faction; The which neverthele&s;&s;e doth &s;till vrge him to excommunicate the King of <HI>Sweden,</HI> that after|wards no <HI>Catholikes</HI> would follow and &s;erue him. Yea they &s;ay (though mo&s;t impertinently) the Pope &s;hould not onely excommunicate tho&s;e that warre again&s;t the <HI>Catholicke</HI> Re|ligion, but al&s;o tho&s;e that warre again&s;t the hou&s;e of <HI>Au~|&s;tria,</HI> becau&s;e who warreth again&s;t the &s;ame (&s;ay they) doth warre again&s;t the foundation and ground of the &s;aid <HI>Catho|licke</HI> Religion; &s;o as doe the Kings of <HI>France</HI> and of <HI>Sweden:</HI> the one publickly and directly, and the other by his money and a&s;&s;i&s;tance; without the which encouragement, the King of <HI>Sweden</HI> would never haue come forth out of his North-Corner, and haue over-runne all <HI>Germany.</HI></P>
<P>At this propo&s;ition the Pope did but laugh, &s;aying: Wee that are the head of the <HI>Catholicke</HI> Religion, doe take care for the defence thereof, to pre&s;erue the &s;ame without harme. And to excommunicate and cur&s;e the King of <HI>Sweden,</HI> we doe &s;ee no rea&s;on, his warre tending not to the de&s;truction of the <HI>Ca|tholicke</HI> Religion, but onely to performe what he hath pub|li&s;hed by his Manife&s;t about two yeares &s;ince: and we &s;ee, he hath taken innumerable Townes and Cities, where the <HI>Ca|tholicks</HI> haue all kind &amp; loving v&s;age, and no ho&s;tilitie at all. Oh! that the <HI>Austrian</HI> Armies had done the like in the <HI>Ca|tholickes</HI> townes they haue taken, where they haue accompli|&s;hed &s;uch cruelties and impieties, as never were heard of a|mong&s;t the <HI>Swedi&s;h</HI> Armie: <HI>Mantoua</HI> is a fre&s;h example of the pietie of the <HI>Au&s;trian</HI> Armie, which hou&s;e you call the ground of the <HI>Catholicke</HI> Religion: there hath beene com|mitted &s;uch cruelties again&s;t all ages and &s;exes, &s;uch di&s;ho|nour and wickedne&s;&s;e again&s;t the women, even tho&s;e that were con&s;ecrated to God; &s;uch impiety again&s;t God &amp; his Sa|ments, and all in &s;uch an exce&s;&s;e of abomination, that the like the King of <HI>Sweden</HI> can never thinke nor dreame of, again&s;t whom you doe &s;o &s;torme, &amp;c.</P>
<PB N="3" REF="3">
<P>On the latter end of the la&s;t weeke, the Amba&s;&s;ador <HI>Borgia</HI> received his royall Patent or Commi&s;&s;ion, to remaine yet three yeares Amba&s;&s;ador for <HI>Spaine:</HI> whereat the Pope was exceedingly di&s;plea&s;ed. Saturday la&s;t was the day hee de&s;ired to haue audience, but the Pope &s;ent him word, that he &s;hould not come before him as Amba&s;&s;ador. And indeed the Pope hath now oftentimes &s;aid, Wee will not that Cardinals bee Amba&s;&s;adors of Princes <HI>(Lais)</HI> without our expre&s;&s;e order and licence, &amp;c.</P>
<P>True it is, that they playing on another &s;tring, doe in &s;ome &s;ort moue the Pope, when they tell him, that the King of <HI>Swe|den</HI> hath de&s;ired of the <HI>Switzers</HI> the pa&s;&s;age into <HI>Italy,</HI> &amp; that his Forces draw neere to the borders thereof. But on the o|ther &s;ide, the Mo&s;t Chri&s;tian King doth a&s;&s;ure his Holine&s;&s;e for the King of <HI>Sweden,</HI> and doth promi&s;e him all &s;afetie and friend&s;hip from that part. But becau&s;e every mans death is vncertaine, and mans will changeable, His Holine&s;&s;e there|fore will take &s;uch re&s;olution for the <HI>Papall Sea,</HI> and for the &s;afety of his per&s;on, as he &s;hall thinke &s;itte&s;t, and hath given order, that <HI>Orivetto</HI> a City in the middle of <HI>To&s;cany,</HI> and al|mo&s;t vnacce&s;&s;ible, the old <HI>Papall Pallace</HI> (where in former troubles the Popes were wont to retyre them&s;elues) &s;hould be againe prepared.</P>
<P>Cardinall <HI>&V;baldine,</HI> who had beene the maker of Cardinall <HI>Borgia</HI> his prote&s;t, hath beene driven out of <HI>Rome,</HI> and confi|ned vnto <HI>Zagarola,</HI> belonging to Cardinall <HI>Ludovi&s;io,</HI> where both out of griefe and feare, the poore man hath &s;ince lo&s;t his wit: The Pope having told him before he went out of <HI>Rome,</HI> We haue &s;o much again&s;t you, that we might cau&s;e your head to be laid before your feete, if we &s;hall doe ju&s;tice, &amp;c. But in|deed the Pope is naturally not vindicatiue, el&s;e there would haue beene cut off divers heads before this. More I dare at this time not tell you.</P>

<P>The death which &s;o vnhappily happened to the Marquis of
<PB N="4" REF="3"><HI>Baden,</HI> (who&s;e death I am extreamely grieved at, for tho&s;e rare vertues which were in him, not vn&s;it to be publi&s;hed to the world) and that thundering bullet, the fatall in&s;trument of his decea&s;e, do adverti&s;e me and put me in mind that I am mortall, and &s;ubject to the &s;ame accidents the very poore&s;t and meane&s;t of my Souldiers are &s;ubject vnto. It is a generall Law from which my Crowne, my birth, my victories are not able to re&s;cue and exempt me. There remaineth nothing el&s;e therefore, but that I mu&s;t re&s;igne my &s;elfe to the providence of the Almighty, who, if it plea&s;e him to call me out of this world, heneverthele&s;&s;e, will not abandon and leaue a cau&s;e &s;o ju&s;t as that which I haue vndertaken for the re-e&s;tabli&s;h|ment of the <HI>Germane</HI> liberties.

I know that the good &s;ucce&s;&s;e which it plea&s;ed God to afford me in my en|pri&s;es, hath made &s;ome to be envious, who labour to per|&s;wade the &s;imple, that I endevour nothing more then mine owne gaine, and the robbing and &s;poyling of others.

This di&s;cour&s;e was bro|ken off by the joyfull acclamations of the hearers, &amp; promi&s;e of a&s;&s;i&s;tance, all of them with many teares intreating his Ma|je&s;tie to be more carefull in time to come of his owne pre&s;er|vation, and to continue his fir&s;t re&s;olution, as they for their parts will continue their fidelitie.</P>

<P>I haue in my letter dated the 28. of Iune acquainted you
<PB N="5" REF="4">with &s;euerall pa&s;&s;ages, concerning both the arriuall of the e|nemy, and the on&s;et which hee gaue without, as al&s;o tho&s;e within the Citie but neverthele&s;&s;e: not daring to attempt any thing again&s;t the Quarter of his Excellencie, perchance becau&s;e they perceiued the &s;ame to bee to &s;trong for them, on the 29. day they began to march downward toward the <HI>Ma&s;e</HI> vntill &s;ome 3. or 4. houres march from the Lord of <HI>Berode</HI> his Quarter, and behind a Nunnes Cloi&s;ter by the <HI>Ma&s;e</HI> encamping their Army, the next day being the 30. they began to en&s;ure and &s;trengthen them&s;elves with one retreachment, and to ca&s;t vp or rai&s;e two batteryes by the dyke, the better to pa&s;&s;e over the <HI>Ma&s;e</HI> vnder the favour of their Cannon.</P>
<P>On the fir&s;t of Iuly yet being bu&s;ied about this worke, and taking care to provide all things readily, &s;halloupes and boates, and Canons on the battery. The 2. day of Iuly the next morning they began to put their de&s;igne in practi&s;e, and tran&s;ported 250. <HI>German</HI> &s;ouldiers with &s;pades and mat|tocks in boates and &s;hallops, and &s;o landed on the other &s;ide. But his Excellencie hauing the night before e&s;tabli&s;hed good order and well guarded the dyke, both with hor&s;e and foote and al&s;o planted &s;ome Ordnance, and hee him&s;elfe being at hand, had vppon this place cau&s;ed the regiment of the Duke of <HI>Sandall</HI> to keepe watch, commanded by the Lieutenant <HI>Colonell</HI> Marquis <HI>De Thiau</HI> who hauing &s;uffered the enemy to land, and the boates being gone backe againe to fetch ouer more men hee with his forces which were vp|pon the dike fell vppon them that were landed with great &s;trength and furie, and in de&s;pite of the enemies Canon and Muskets which playd continually, they &s;lew mo&s;t of the enemies forces, and many were drowned all of them went to the pot except onely 103. pri&s;oners, which they brought with them into the Princes Quarter, among the&s;e pri&s;o|ners were diuers which la&s;t yeare were taken by <HI>Bergen</HI> in the great defeat. This expedition happened not without &s;ome lo&s;&s;e of our men, by rea&s;on of the Canon, and Musket &s;hott. Among the re&s;t inferiour officers voluntaryes and
<PB N="6" REF="4">common &s;oldiers, we lo&s;t Captaine <HI>Foullion</HI> who receiued three wounds of Musket &s;hott and at the la&s;t after the victo|rie in the retreat hauing brought of his men on the other &s;ide had his &s;houlder taken of with a Canon bullet. Al&s;o was &s;laine the Marquis <HI>De Thiau</HI> who&s;e death is much bewail|ed of many, for many ra<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">e vertues and qualities that appear|ed in him, his place of Lieutenant Colonell is be&s;towed vp|pon Major <HI>Buad,</HI> and the Major&s;hip; to Captaine <HI>&V;erne|uille.</HI></P>
<P>The next day being the third of <HI>Iuly,</HI> the Kings forces did againe attempt to come over, but &s;omewhat lower; but our hor&s;e vnder&s;tanding &s;o much, and they fearing lea&s;t too ma|ny of our forces were vpon the Dyke, dur&s;t not come over, but with the boates returned backe vnto their former place. The &s;ame time were by 25. of our Hor&s;e-men brought 13. pri&s;oners, and many hor&s;e, among them was one Wagoner, and one that was in commi&s;&s;ion for the obtaining of victuals, this man had about him 500. Rix-Dollars, to buy victualls in the Villages for the enemie, this proved good bootie for our Souldiers.</P>
<P>Vpon the 4. <HI>ditto</HI> &s;ome of our hor&s;e tooke and brought pri|&s;oners 106. Boores, 16. or 17. Carts, and 60. Hor&s;es; all the&s;e Boores, Carts, and hor&s;es were well laden with bread, beere, cheefe, &amp; other provant, to victuall the enemies Camp. There was a greater Convoy then this behind, but our Hor&s;e|men were too weake and dur&s;t not a&s;&s;ault them.</P>
<P>Here are divers other impri&s;oned, who daily when &s;ome of our men are taken on the other &s;ide, are relea&s;ed.</P>
<P>As concerning our approaches, we in time having brought our workes even to the <HI>Counter-Scharp</HI> of the City Moat; The enemy did begin to rai&s;e a Travers again&s;t our outermo&s;t worke, by this meanes to hinder our progre&s;&s;e, which Tra|vers informe of an halfe Moone being very hinderfull &amp; pre|judiciall to our proceedings, we endeavoured to po&s;&s;e&s;&s;e the &s;ame by force; when this exploit was to be effected, the <HI>Eng|li&s;h</HI>
<PB N="7" REF="5">had the watch that night in the approches, vnder the commaund of the Earle of <HI>Oxford,</HI> being the Regiment of my Lord <HI>Vere.</HI> The Earle for the exploit had commanded 40. <HI>Engli&s;h,</HI> all Gentlemen of very good de&s;cent and qualitie, be|ing voluntaries; The&s;e very couragiou&s;ly a&s;&s;i&s;ted with &s;ome other Officers and common Souldiers, tooke in this halfe Moone two &s;everall times mo&s;t manfully: but the enemy with all his might comming again&s;t them, vnder favour of their Canon, they tooke the &s;ame againe, and cau&s;ed the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> to for&s;ake it, with the lo&s;&s;e of fiue of the &s;aid voluntary Gentle|men, 7. fouldiers, and 7. labourers, with another <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Cap|taine, and 23. or 24. &s;ouldiers more were hurt and &s;ore mai|med. Sir <HI>Simon Harcourt</HI> Knight was &s;hot through the face and hurt with a Granado. Captaine <HI>Rockwood</HI> is al&s;o dange|rou&s;ly hurt and runne through the arme. The Lieutenant of the Lieutenant Colonell <HI>Herbert,</HI> was &s;hot quite through the body. Tho&s;e one the other &s;ide went not &s;hot-free, and per|chance haue more of them &s;laine then were on our &s;ide, for we know of &s;ome which we &s;aw lying &s;tarke dead.</P>
<P>Ye&s;terday al&s;o was &s;hot in a batterye in the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> appro|ches, the Lieutenant Colonell <HI>Leue&s;ton</HI> in the head, and a few dayes before Colonell <HI>Pagnam</HI> in the cheeke, but wee tru&s;t that they will e&s;cape both of them well cured of their wounds.</P>
<P>The Enemy in three dayes hath made but few &s;hottes out of <HI>Mae&s;tricht,</HI> wee know not what may bee the rea&s;on, ex|cept he hath all the while beene removing of his Ordnance on another &s;ide: we &s;hall ere long be certified, perchance they wanted &s;omething.</P>
<P>Our fire-workers day and night doe throw granadoes into the Towne, which doe great mi&s;chiefe.</P>
<P>The <HI>Spani&s;h</HI> in the meane time with their Army are neere vnto the <HI>Ma&s;e.</HI> It is thought they will build a Sconce there, but we know no certainety, our be&s;t hope is that want of vi|ctualls will driue him thence.</P>

<P>Notwith&s;tanding they haue v&s;ed great force vpon the halfe Moone at the <HI>Winberger</HI> Gate and wee haue had it in often; the be&s;ieged out of the time of Truce which they had on the dicke haue euer taken it from vs againe and beaten vs out of it. And againe one the fifteenth hereof they blew vp a Mjine at the &s;ame Gate again&s;t the Engli&s;h to their great advantage and one Fryday being the &s;ixteenth be|tweene three and foure of the clocke in the afternoone and other again&s;t the <HI>French</HI> and therevpon about 400. &s;trong they &s;allyed out getting the Fort of them, and well three rodds of their approchings which they held that day and night following and defended it manfully. During the fight his Excellencie &s;tood in the quarter of Grave <HI>Hen|dr<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">k</HI> with 30. hor&s;e and I was by him vpon the Hill. The fight la&s;ted till late in the night &amp; in the interim a great bul|let came out of the Citty which flew betweene the Hor&s;es Leggs without hurting any body.</P>
<P>The charging of muskets la&s;ted all night vntill that fi|nally
<PB N="9" REF="6">the <HI>French</HI> being Chaffed in their blood on the 17. put the be&s;ieged to flight into the halfe moone which by the &s;econding of the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> they tooke in, fighting man fully, the Enemie de<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">ended them<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">elues &s;toutly, that I be|leeue there was &s;laine 400. on both &s;ides they knocked one the other downe with their muske<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">s for want of powder and becau&s;e they could not charge them fa&s;t enough this morning our men remained ma&s;ters of the h<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">lfe Moone and of the counterver&s;e on the dicke from whence the be&s;ieged haue very much hindred the approches.</P>
<P>Fifty Soldiers of the Garri&s;on of <HI>L<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter">wburgh</HI> haue taken in the Ca&s;tle of <HI>Erckenteell</HI> for from thenc<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="MURP" EXTENT="1 letter"> to hinder the Car|riage of the victualls to the Army.

The lea&s;t of all which did oblige him to a firme and con&s;tant fidelitye to his Prince, and which is more, his owne oath which he tooke when fir&s;t he was en&s;talled into the&s;e fore&s;aid digni|tyes. But hee ca&s;ting by and &s;lighting all this, and forget|ting his duty and obedience due vnto vs from him; hee hath greatly enterpri&s;ed and attempted again&s;t vs and our &s;eruice, and the re&s;t and welfare of our &s;tate and Countryes. Being &s;o farre tran&s;ported with his euill and pernitious plots and machinations, that on the 18. of the la&s;t Moneth hee pub|li&s;hed printed bills and cau&s;ed them to be &s;cattered and di&s;|per&s;ed into many places as well without as within our do|minions, that all &s;oldiers of what quality or nations (the <HI>Spani&s;h</HI> onely excepted) &s;hould bee acceptable and wel|come vnto him: exhorting and inciting them to rank them|&s;elues and &s;helter vnder him, and be led by his command, making vnto them many faire &amp; plau&s;ible proffers, by that meanes to draw them to mutiny and rebellion, from their owne colours vnder the which they are Militant for our &s;eruice.
