For which cause I could not conceal from your kingly majesty, how that spain hath other sufficient employments, otherways, as also that the Duke of savoy my most gracious Lord, with the mighty Duke of Venice, willbe employed in some notable services, the Swithers haue held hard by the King of France for help, for the recovery of veltolia the States of Hoolland willbe armed both by sea& Land it were vame to say more of the Austrian council tyrannical persecution, or of the two well known Spanish Inquisitions, I am also very busy in the taken on of men, hoping within a few weeks to haue 15 thousand thoren men of war in readiness, but considering that for the better expedition of the wars, I haue great need of 2000 horsemen, my earnest suite therefore to your majesty is that you willbe pleased and that withall possible speed to furnish me with the aforesaid number of 20●0 Hungarian horsemen, if it be possible, and I as soon as I shallbe so furnished, will spare neither labour nor pains for the erformaunce of that service, that may serve for the furderaunce of the Christiun religion, and the welfare of the kingdom of Bohemia, for my fidelity wherein your majesty shall in nothing doubt: but without the said number of horse I shall not be able to perform that service I would, which therefore I will expect with the first opertunitie: hoping withall that your majesty is and willbe an upholder as of the Christian Religion, so also of this our native country manifesing yourself to be are that will, not to suffer yourself to be deceived by the bloody Papists, nor yet to be drawn by their deceitful pretences, to a faise faithless and unjust peace, the rather considiring that their cruel and abominable tyronies deceitfullnesse and perjuries are every where too too manifest, which many do daily feel and undergo, and hearty bewail with sighs and tears: herewith concluding I will pray unto almighty God for your majesties prosperous reign, the ouerenmming of your enemies and so earnestly beseeching that he will be your protector I shall with longing expect your certain resolution and answer
