At this time the Lord Rudolph van Diepenbach hath the commandment, but the Walloons will not be ruled by him, and thereupon the chief Commander of Staadien is yesterday departed hence with money, and many Posts are sent forth again, perhaps to procure another General.

Some few days past, there came to Collen a holy Italian Friar of the Woldoenders order of the Cormelites, whom the common people judgeth to be a Prophet, because that he had foretell the victory of the Emperor against the King of Bohemia, and obtained it by his fervent prayers. He is here received with so great deustion, that it is almost impossible to relate it, because that through the great press of people, he could not get with his Horselitter through the streets of the City, whereupon some rubbed their Beads to his garments, others cut some small pieces at his holy Cowle, and he that might kiss his hand, esteemed himself most happy. In summa, all those that were cripple, deaf, blind, dumb, and diseased, came running to him, who in time may yet be cured. Our Elector, having knowledge of his arrival, came suddenly to him, who with great entreatings got the staff of the holy man. Imprinted at the Hage by Adrian Clerk, the 10. of August. 1621.
