Our salutation, honourable, valiant, and worthy good friends. How the Bishopric of Wur●zburch forces, and those of Bavaria have hitherto behaved themselves in Bohemia, is sufficiently known, and therefore I need not to speak more thereof, as also that we hither to have done nothing, as likewise that you have not in any sort meddled with the Bohemian matters, but rather (as it is fit) have stayed from proceeding therein. But for that the said Wurtenberch Soldiers, have been found to do the contrary, and will by power to us given from the King of Bohemia, our most gracious Lord, have had sufficient cause to be revenged on his Majesty's enemies, as also on their aiders and abetters, and to give the same measure unto them, that they have given unto others. We thought it convenient to send this Trumpeter unto you, hereby to certify and desire you that you would willingly send for your Regiment of Soldiers out of Bohemia, and withdraw them from thence, as also to refrain from that strange and cruel proceed (whereunto you are only incited by the Emperor) and wholly to leave them, which if you do, as we doubt not but you will, you shall find us to be your good friend, and if not you shall find the contrary, for that as I am a true Knight, we will not refrain from persecuting all yours, and the whole Chapters subjects, & lands, with fire and sword. Which we desire you to think upon, and to take good order therein, and to send us your resolute answer touching our Letter by this bearer. Given in Weittenhousen the 14. of july 1621. Stilo novo, our desire is, that you would impart this also to the Chapter in Wurtenburch, that we in that case may be held excuscable. If any thing happen otherwise:  
Your honours good friend Ernst Earl of Mansfield.   

From Augsburg the 19 of july 1621.  
In Bavaria they take up the sixth man throughout all the Country, and there are 26000, men to come to Straubing, where the Duke will make a general Muster, the Ordinance and Ammunition is sent thither from Munchem, and the Bakers and Brewers must send Beer and Bread after the Army, for that because the Earl of Mansfield hath sent a threatening Letter by a Trumpeter to Bamberch; The Bishop thereof hath sent it to the Duke of Bavaria, and thereupon he is gone with all his Court and forces from Mouchem, and the Prince also is to send all his forces in the said Bishopric and the rest, from Bambergh on this side the Palatinate, and the Emperor's Armies under the conduct of Monseur de Tilly, lie on the Bohemian frontiers about 2. Dutch miles from the Earl of Mansfield, who is very strong, we shall shortly he are some news.  
For that the Turk is entered with so strong an Army into the field, the King of Poland also assembleth all his Forces, and the Soldiers march already from Meluingh, that have at least 160. Dutch miles to go before they come to the place of mustering. The King of Poland is very courageous and resolute to go against the Turk.  
The war now gins on all sides to have some appearance on the King of Spain, and the Archdukes Governor of Brabanter side against those of the United Provinces, for out of all the frontier Towns they go abroad to seek adventures. They of Hertoghen bush with certain Horsemen, made toward the Town of Grave, where they took two Burghers, which they of the Grave understanding, presently sent forth certain Horsemen, who followed 'em so fast, that before they got into Hertogen bush they did trouble them, & setting upon them, took both the Burghers from them, and brought six of their Horsemen prisoner, with them to the Grave.  
There are 4 Ships of war in Ostend that are prepared to put to Sea, to take Merchant's ships if they can, but Captain Moy Lambert with eleven Ships of the United Provinces men of war, lie to watch their coming forth.

The West Indian affairs go bravely forward, and they only attend Saylors to put into them, that they may put to Sea, to revenge the blood of their friends which hath been spilt so tyranously by the Spaniards, that were so cruelly brought unto their ends by them, and those that they threw overboard, thinking to drown them, who notwithstanding were so strong by God's help, that being in the Sea they unbound one the others hands, and swum on shore, but being taken there by the Spaniards, they were presently hanged.
