Lucan. lib. 3. Bell. civilis. THE KING OF BOHEMIA'S Welcome into the PALATINATE with the last defeat of Monsieur TILLIES Army, and other remarkeble things there, and elsewhere. THE turmoils of Europe having gotten an upperhand over the unity and Peace of the Nations, haue likewise prevailed with the very dispositions and affections of the people, so that though never so good Letters of credit come amongst us, they shall receive a soil of calumniation, even by such, as yet know no cause, why they should traduce the writers: but speak at random, as either some strange credulity transports them, or their own passions oversway reason and probability, and this is and hath been reciprocal both between Papist and Protestants, since that fatal day in which the King of Bohemia was driven out of Prague, and the magnanimous queen taught a lesson to triumph over misfortune; the Papist wondering at the rejection of the Emperour Ferdinand, and having no other name for the intrusion, but Treason, turbulence and ambitious usurpation: The Protestant justifying the action, as the determination of an elective province, and that God had a work in hand to propagate his Church and Religion. The Papist magnifying the House of Austria, as if it were impossible to withstand the Emperour, the Pope and King of spain: The Protestant alleging, that both Pope and Emperour must submit to the controller of all Popes and Emperours, and if he haue a cause in hand there is no pleading against him, nor can any arm of Flesh turn the frame of heaven about. The Papist maintaining, that all Kings and Princes do act one anothers part, and therefore in the secrets of Combination seem not allow of Subjects to take up arms against their Princes, or that inferiors shall contest with superiors in matters of any opposition, wherein the Dignity of sovereignty shall suffer diminution, or the presumption of homagers admit of augmentation: The Protestant alleging, that it absolutely holds in successive Monarchies, where the subject is bound patiently to tolerate the persecution, rather then resist the power of the Prince by way of Hostility: But in provinces that are not tied to so strict Obedience, there may be apologies made, and many circumstances produced to allege the grants of Princes, and confirmations of privileges, with the Dignities of free cities, even against Emperors themselves, as in the Confession of augsburg: the manumitting of towns, and the immunities of principalities, which either a Parliament hath consented unto, a Prince ratefied, money redeemed, or time effected and brought to pass: And in this manner is all the news of Europe tossed between us, yea banded up and down as balls against the boards of a Tenniscourt, till the stuffing fly out of the leather, and the game is ended, except there be a fresh supply. Notwithstanding this division amongst us, there is but one Truth in the Variation of all manner of accidents, yea in this last business of Tillies defeat, which hath comforted all honest hearts, there may be many circumstances, but the main point is, the King of Bohemia hath prevailed, and for his welcome into the Palatinate found a better friend of Fortune( as wee profanely abuse that Character) then he expected, but because I will not be too sudden with you in this joyful tidings, give me leave not by way of digression, but by honest recollection of some former passages, to prepare and season your humours the better to entertain that you desire, or if you be of a contrary humour, to admit of that you cannot prevent or disappoint. I will meddle with nothing, that shall revive your memories with matters distasteful: For that, which the Papist calls the worst, is subject to construction and disputation, and for the rest never was the time or the adversary, so powerful and over daring, but there was interceptions and casting of blocks in his fairest walks and strongest courses of security. In the loss of Prague, the King was not altogether destituted and abandoned, but found a retiring place and friendly succours in Holland. In the revolts of Silesia and Morauia, the Marques of Ieggendorse made some stop of that inundation, and hath still and still been faithful and loyal to the general Cause. In the bringing in of a strange Nation into Hungary, I mean the Spaniard into Rab, Camora, Presburgh, and the rest; the Lords and Proceres brought in the Prince of Transiluania, which for any thing I see will not be so easily removed or thrust out again: In the mustering the Forces of Austria, and proceedings of the Emperour, I hope the Deaths of Dampiers and Bucquoy, pulled him back by the sleeve from running too fast to over presumption of smile: In bringing in Spinola into the Palatinate, our few English, and the Forces of the Princes, rebated the fury of their triumphs, and made a kind of circled, that those Spirits could come no further, then limitation: In the donation of the Palatinate to Bauaria, as a recompense of his service for taking of Prague, I find no great cause of exaltation, for both he and Tilley are withstood, and peradventure the Duke of Saxony himself repines at the matter, and may stand neuter for any thing the Emperour knows, and then God knows how the wheel of Fortune may be turned about, and a new face of alteration quickly unmask itself, to the comfort of all honest hearted lookers on, and the dismay of such, as either wished the thriving of the Emperour, or pitied the Palatine as a forlorn and forsaken man. But now if I should demand from whence comes Count Mansfield, who raised up the Duke of Brunswick? who caused the Princes to remember themselves and their Honours? who put into the Emperors heart to sand into England about a Peace? And in a word who hath thrust so many Countries, and so much treasure into a Strangers hands, as you see by the proceedings in the bishopric of Spires and elsewhere, either you must answer with the Protestant, it is the providence of God to make Ahabs little Cloud power down showers of rain, to the refreshing the parched Land: or hang down the head like a Bul-rush with the Papist, and cry out, that a bad cause doth sometimes thrive against expectation, and men are tried in this world to prepare them to patience, and other endurances. Notwithstanding all this, and that I haue shew'd you, the Bohemia cause was never so desperate, but there appeared heat and light in the Imbers, to manifest there might yet a fire be made out of the smaller sparks; there are certain men will never beleeue any thing against their own humors, or if they be brought to a kind of yielding to the truth, they will interpose distinction, Fortune, circumstances, desertion of friends, disorder of Souldiers, and such like, and therefore I will honestly proceed in the business of the Palatinate to this very hour, whereby you may see, that God made a hard, intemperate, and frosty Winter bring forth springing Flowers of comfort and prosperity. I will not intermeddle with the disposition of other Princes, or the resolutions of government, either in affecting, or dis-affecting the cause: but come nearer unto you and say, that while the King of Bohemia lay at the Hage, many Treatises, Messages, and counsels passed between the King of denmark, himself, the Prince of Orange, the two Dukes of brunswick, the Duke of boulogne, the Princes of the union, Count Mansfeild, the Prince of Transiluania, Ieggendorff, general Vere, and many more, who all resolved( by one means or other) to reintegrate the distressed honor of the King of Bohemia, or make him some recompense for the losses of his country. Whereupon, Count Mansfeild being the onely stirring Spirit in these glorious designs, understanding that the Emperor was capitulating with the Hungarians for a Truce, and had sent Bauaria's Duke to take possession of the Palatinate, and surprise Heidelberg itself, after the Prince of Anhalt was departed from the Army, between whom some emulation arose, of which I will not dispute, concluded with the Marquis of Ieggendorff to divide the Souldiers, being then in Morauia, and follow Bauaria, which way soever he went: This he did with that bravery and expedition, that he startled him from Heidelberg, drove them into the Bishop of Spiers Country, removed the siege of Franckendale, visited Mainheim, where Sir Horace Vere, and most of the English lay, and supplied the wants of many places, which before were ouer-pressed with the burden of fear& terror, of utter defeat and expugnation. Then he made a martiall progress through many Countries, and as Caesar was wont to writ, Veni, Vidi, vici, he might well say, he came no where but they made some composition with him. For, like a Ball of Snow in frosty weather, by the often rolling, groweth bigger and bigger; so did his army increase, and the Countries where he came, supplied their wants. Thus did he visit Spiers, worms, and all those bishoprics: Thus came he into Leopaldus country, and took many towns, with Elsas Saueren itself. Thus proceeded he to Mentz, Strasburgh, and many catholic cities, who redeemed their peace with great store of treasure. Thus did he visit lorraine, and made a truce with the Duke for three yeares: And thus when he understood of Monsieur Tillies cruelty, and threatening of Heidelberg, he returned toward the Palatinate again, both to lay down a cooling carded for his ostentation, and breath new comfort into the decayed estate of those places. By this time, april begins both with them and with us, and Count Mansfeild sends four Regiments of Souldiers into Mainheim, and the towns adjoining, tarrying with the rest of his Army at Germersheim, and Determi●us, spoiling Bergausen, Dilsperg, Mandech, Mutterstat, Reinganhem, Manenheim, and other places, where he quartered his Forces: then he proceeded to fortify many towns and sconces, and put Garrisons into them; for by this time he had taken in almost all the bishopric of Spiers, the strong Castle of Magdenburg, the towns of Haggenaw, Landenburg, stain, and Elsas, all which he left sufficiently guarded, both to defend themselves against any enemy, and to command the country to supply them with money and provision. But because his particular actions haue invited you to the superuising of many Pamphlets, I will speak no more of the same, but conclude, that by this time he heard of the King of Bohemia's coming to him, and so tarried for him at Haggenaw, and about Mainhem, and when he came in dead( as you shall hear hereafter) well-commed him with 18000. foot, and 6000. horse, the rest of his army possessing the bishopric of Spiers, and commanding other places in Leopaldus his Country; and thus much for Mansfeild, before the King of Bohemia repaired into his distressed Palatinate. Now to Brunswick, and how he began and proceeded. While the King and queen of Bohemia lay at the Hage, and had certain news, that his mother was retired to Wittenberg both for her better safety, and better accommodating: Christian Duke of Brunswick, and younger brother of that house came to present his service to the queen, his near kinswoman, and was honourably welcomed of the Prince of orange, and animated by the King of denmark himself, who seeing him forward, young, lusty, and valiant thought him a fit instrument to play his masters prise in these turbulent times,& cross affairs, whereupon amongst them they supplied him with a small army and treasure, wherein and whereby he had such fortunate success, that the Bishop of colen, a Prince Elector, was afraid of him, and at last compelled to sand to Bavaria, and the Spanish Garrisons for succours, which was accordingly granted him: For Bavaria and his general Tilly playing the wantons with the poor towns, and the trod-vpon vines of the Pallatinate, and taking advantage of Count Mansfeilds remotenes, even as far as the borders of lorraine, sent both horse and foot, yea Tilly once or twice went out in person to encounter with Brunswick, besides the Bishop obtained succours and commanders from Wesell and Gulick, and all to meet with this youthful servant of Mars, who in my conscience emulating Count Mansfeilds glory, and desiring to imitate him in all virtuous actions, advanced himself the sooner, and the forewarder on the Martiall theatre, and as you haue likewise heard, prevailed in many skirmishes, and had the glory of as many victories. For he vexed the country, came to Pater-borne and Westphalia, compounded with the Villages, expulsed the Bishop to some Castle of security, and had faire language even of the city itself: thus increased he to 1200 strong, possessed divers pieces of Ordnance, and fire works, had sundry supplies from Bream, and other Princes, was assured that the Lantsgraue of Hesse,& the Princes of the union would come to a new composition with Fortune for the recovery of their credits, and so resolved to go forward for the King of Bohemia's designments, and did indeed do many things worthy the honour of a better experienced Commander. When the King of Bohemia saw the breaking out of this light from the thickening clouds of the former discomfiture; and apparent signs manifested unto him of better hopes, but especially when he understood that the Emperour had sent Count Swatzenhourg into England about a treaty of peace, he began to bestir himself and indeed was afraid he might bee countermaunded in his great prosecutions; For his suspicion arose from these grounds. First from the Princely disposition of the King his Father in law to peace, who studied nothing more then to avoid the effusion of blood, and keep one even course of charity, nobleness, and correspondency with all Princes. Secondly, from a determination in England to sand the Lord of Belfast, who had been Irelands Deputy, and a long well deserving soldier, into the Palatinate, about the rendition, or composition for the same, which though he thought was no fit recompense for his losses and spoils there, yet was it a gladness and a matter of consequence, because the sooner it was cleared of Enemies, the sooner it might recover her pristinate flourishing and handsomnes, onely he feared least so great a benefit imparted by the King of England with the insupportable charges he had been at before, and must be tied to now, would be a kind of bar and procrastination of his other purposes, and final resolutions. Thirdly, From the nature and manner of the Emperors embassy, with the attraction of the person to win his purpose,( for what ever the Papists say, the King of Bohemia desired no peace, but still thought vpon and projected the recovery of his honor.) Now Swatzenbourg was a comely, Courtly Gentleman, of a good presence, and habitual virtues, to effectuate any business, having made a kind of composition to go into England at his own charge, and perform this service by way of gratuity, and recompense to his imperial majesty, for his procuring him a wife, which belike both pleased his affection, and advanced his estate. Fourthly, From a new assurance of the discontentments of Prague, who desired once again to see him at the head of some sufficient troops, and to make him recompense for their former desertion. Fiftly, from the strength of his own friends, who were now able to muster an Army, greater then any in Christendom,& therfore why should a peace countermand his forwardness,& pull him back in the race to a new glory. sixthly, From the Emperors weak preparations; for there were few Forces raised, and less money in a readiness: Besides, the Army out of Italy, and the treasure from spain failed in the Valtoline, and amongst the Swiss, whereby Leopaldus was much discontented, and discountenanced; yea, out of hope to recover his losses in his Country, and so had cause to complain, but no means of redress. seventhly, From the repinings of the Duke of Saxony, who had disputed the matter with a messenger from the Emperor, about the donation of the Palatinate from the heires of the King of Bohemia to a stranger, which must needs breed an innovation among the provinces: For neither was the Emperor to challenge the Empire as hereditary to Austria, nor to inflict the children of any Prince with such a punishment, for the Fathers offence, be it treason, or what you will. Eightly, Last of all, from the intermixture of Religions, which now made him more zealous to expel Idolatry, and superstition out of his Palatinate, and take pitty on the tears of so many thousand Protestants, who every where began to complain of the cruelty of the Bishops, and the tyranny of the jesuits that thun dread out nothing but war, and reuenge, blood and death, fire and spoil, hell& damnation against them. All which things considered, he thought it high time to come to prevention, and approach nearer and nearer to some public practise of anticipation, least the mischief should grow incurable, and the vexation remediless: This as you haue heard made him hazard his person, and expose his Fortunes to a wonderful and dangerous journey: For in the first week of april( some will haue it on a Sunday,) he resolved to retire privately from the Hage, and sent Sir Francis Nethersall to Dort, to provide him a ship, but not discover the business: so with onely 10, persons disguised, and a small Cabinet of jewels, he embarked himself, and landed at calais, from whence he took waggon for Amiens, where some will haue him discovered, insomuch that the governor taken with his noble and heroic demeanour, offered him his service, and resolved to entertain him according to his dignity, and worth, but it should seem, he refused all ceremony: for he onely requested taciturnity, and so went forward on his journey: but whether it happened in this particular, or no, it matters not, sure I am, he went safe from Amiens, and as some will haue it, hired two wagons through the wood, and a Provost Marshall to accompany him, having good Petronels and other weapons amongst them, in which manner they came to Sedan, not yet discovered: but when the Duke of Bolloigne, who being very old kept his palace here understood of his access, and by former letters was advertised of his intent, and purpose, he rose to meet him and in such a fashion, that it was quickly noised over the Couutrey, shhat an escape he had made: but notwithstanding his great entertainment here, he determined not to tarry, nor did the Duke think it convenient, that rumour should any way prepare his Enemies for his interception, so within a day or two he provided a sufficient convoy for him: and he came before Easter first to Landaw, secondly to Germshen, thirdly, to Haggenaw, and last of all to Mainhem. Now you must consider, that a little before his access, Count Mansfeild: the Margraue of Turso, general Vere, and colonel Overtrout, had been in counsel at Mainhem above two houres, which dissolved, they returned to their quarters, and Count Mansfeild prepared an army to go meet the King of Bohemia, which was not, nor could be so covertly done, but the Duke of Bavaria, and Tilley had notice of the same, who newly returned from being fleshed with the blood of innocents, as sparing neither man, woman, nor child, in certain villages between Heidelberg& Mainhem, in which jollity they attempted to set vpon the rear of Count Mansfeilds Army, already on foot for some enterprise, and defeated some of his Foot& some of his wagons. For when he understood that Mansfield had made a long march and was remote from the place, and knew the Garrisons of Franckendale and Mainhem, safe from issuing out, or making any Sallies, he took the advantage, and set vpon the straggling Company, and so in a jollity returned to his Quarter. By this time is the King welcomed to the Army, or as some haue it, returned with the same, which went to meet him: and so came to Mainhem, where a whole day was spent in Ceremony, and observation toward him, insomuch that some will haue reciprocal tears,& passionate embraces between him and Sir Horace Vere; yea not an English man passed without shaking by the hand,& Princely thankfulness: the extacy between Mansfield& him had her determination the day before, and to add to the ioy of this welcome, the people brought in their presents, and even from Strasburgh, and Bazill, the Riuers were filled with boats, who came down on heaps to see their Prince, and show their Duty, so that whereas before Mutton, Butter, and good accates seldom fell to the Generals share: the common Soldier now renewed his acquaintance even with Pullen, Fowle, Fish, and Pastery, yea many a dainty dish. Well, time adds a period to all things, and their affairs put them in mind of other business: For you must consider, that both Gonzales Cordua and the Spaniards, and Bauaria and Tilley with their Colonels, and Captaines, understand of all this, and demeaned themselves like undaunted Souldiers for all the alteration: Gonzales and his Spaniards lying in Openheim, Crusnach, and other places, kept their former reposednes, and never shewed a motive of distemperature, or any passion for the news: But peradventure stood vpon a Guard of better circumspection, and strengthened their Watches with overlooking the Fortifications: Tilley was braver then ever, mustering his Forces, drawing out his Army, and increasing it with Bauaria's new supply: For you must consider, that not two dayes before the King of Bohemia's arrival, the Emperour had sent a Meslenger to Count Mansfield about the cessation of arms, and certain other Propositions concerning the good of christendom, and pacification of the present troubles, who quickly returned answer, that he was now but a second person, and must yield to a higher sovereignty, for the King of Bohemia was come in person into the Field; neither was this Answer pleasing to the Emperour nor the Title, yet for the time making a virtue of patience, he depended on a better satisfaction: and sent such Forces as he could into the Palatinate, with whom Tilley projected great matters. All this while Count Mansfield lies in wait for reuenge, and so leaving the King to overlook the Fortifications of Mainhem,& Franckendale: where he was made acquainted with the several accidents and losses, which happened in the siege of Franckendale: He takes an opportunity of Tilley's bravery, and acquaints the King with his purpose, who thereupon bravely resolveth to go in person into the Field. But concerning that, time shall discover more? It is now sufficient, and sufficiently well, that understanding, that Tilley was lodged within a Village not far from the town, wherein he had left the memories of his Cruelty, and within four Leagues of Heidelburgh, he laid an Ambuscado of 2000. Horse and foot to entrap him. For as I said, he recided a little remote from the main body of his Army, having onely two Regiments with him, being 3000. and at this time was somewhat careless, and less thought of a Skirmish, because he imagined the Enemy would bee detained from fighting, as busied in welcoming the Prince, whereupon Count Mansfield likewise apprehending as much, and desiring of all other things to draw him in person into the Field, came toward him with 600. Shot, and Pikes, and some few Horse, who seemed rather to brave him, then intended to Fight with him, and because he should be the better induced to come near the Ambuscado: Count Mansfield retired to the head of these obscure troops, and sheltered himself undiscovered: the rest that were to Skirmish indeed, made onely show, as if they had been but foragers,& came of purpose to get provision for the Army, but now being so near the Enemy the Pikes made a stand, and the Shot began a Skirmish, the Horse wheeling about to draw them to better ground, then the Valley they were lodged in, and played their partes so well, that Tilley would not be so affronted, but resolved to the Encounter, if they had been as many more. Thus he drew forth himself, and his Captaines drew forth the rest, so that with 800. horse and somewhat more then 3000. foot, he gave the Alarum to the Villages, that a fight was begun: but ere his main Army could prepare itself, or Bauaria haue notice of the accident, the fight was begun, and Count Mansfield with 2000. horse, and 500. Muskatieres presently enclosed them, and as presently disranked them all: For what with the suddainnesse of the business, and the fear of a greater Army, or the apprehension, that the King might be there in person, or the apparent fury of Count Mansfields charge, who was questionless exasperated against them: or the willingness of the soldier to be revenged, who both remembered their own wrongs, and his cruelty against the Peasants: there presently followed a lamentable slaughter: for the horse were rowted, and thronged so fast one vpon another, that they lay slain by heaps: the foot( as all Souldiers know) once displaced, fell under the rage of the horse, yea were subject to the foot, that kept their ranks, and came vpon them with violence: the shot had also a share in the execution, as they had afterwards in the spoil, Tilly himself fled, as peradventure being better horsed, better breathed, and more cautelous, as apprehending the danger, and being more afraid to come within the danger of captivity: but whether he were hurt or no, is uncertain. But now you must know, that the greatest cause of this discomfiture, came through Tillies own hastiness, who was so hot vpon these few Muskatieres, that he broke with his horse through his own Pikes, who stood in their open order to give him passage, and could not come in to form and fashion again, till certain Captaines of Mansfields horse espied the advantage, and set vpon them at the first, as soon as the ambush broke out, and before they could rally themselves together. After the slaughter, which was reckoned very near 2500. followed the spoil, many colours were taken, great store of arms were shared, diuers prisoners reserved, all the carriages divided, and many horse lest their Riders behind them on the ground. To this you may add, that while the Souldiers in garrison drew themselves out to second their fellowes, the peasants of the places took advantage of the few number, which remained, and cut their throats, whereby they suppose as much harm was done this way, as the other, and both ways as is thought irrecoverable. I make no question of the Boonfires at heidelberg, and prayers every where. For this cause is generally so well reputed of that without disputation of the justification of the war, a world of friends come flocking in to the King, and in England the matter is so well affencted, that both good and bad wish well unto the queen: yea, the young Princes, who were never seen amongst us, are pitied of all sorts, to be deprived of their Fathers inheritance, and disinherited by the malignity of time, and the oversight( as the papist will haue it) of their Father. But of that no more. It is sufficient now to see the people glad, and hear their tongues echo out their hearts wishes, and all for the prosperity of the Palatinate, wherein I shall not be believed, if I tell you the friends which are raised, the helps promised, the prayers made, the contribution prepared, and the means discovered for the restauration. For the Duke of Wittenberg is ready, and hath diuers forces mustered, which the Emperour repines at, and goeth about to intercept: but because the Kings Mother is in his Court, and that there may be better use of them in his country, to defend the same, and be in a readiness at more need. It hath been agreed vpon by a counsel of war, that he shall detain them there, and stand the better vpon the Guard of opposition, if the Emperour enforce him, or as he hath done, command him to attend Bauaria, or whom he shall appoint. The Marqnesse of Baden hath also sent word, that his Army is 10000. and longs to join with Count Mansfield, but especially to see the King of Bohemia, whose case according to the fortune of great persons in adversity, is now much lamented, considering it might haue been a temptation to haue overcome any of them all, who ever reputed Bohemia subject to election, and the choice of the Lords, and as for the King, he came not in with an Army, nor projected to fortify his own country: but took an honourable retinue with him, and would not out of suspicion give the Emperour cause of iealousy, that either his own ambition hastened him to the dignity, or any policy or bribery had wrought the Lords and Electors underhand to prefer him before another. The Duke of Brunswick is great with the birth of some brave action in his behalf, and longs for the delivery, but is advised to remain, where he doth, and sand to the Lantzgraue of Hess for his forces, that he may both prosecute the Bishop of Cullen: and attend Saxony, to know what he will do either in Silesia or Bohemia: For now is the time of the business, and of the year, so that if he hold his peace at this time, he may for ever hereafter be silent. To talk of the elder Brunswick, or the marquis of Brandenburg, were onely to fill up a Catalogue with names without actions: For their Countries are so remote, that they may do more good with their purses, then their persons, wherein I make no question they will be indulgent, and considering so many motives of assistance, I resolve myself the disbursing of treasure shall not be a wall of separation between the Kings cause, and their care, and shal leave them to the due examination of the matter, which shall as much enlarge their own honour, as augment his dignity. These are the greater circles, which move in this Sphere of turbulence, concerning the business of Europe, and the difficulties of war, which as it is begun, so in plain terms cannot end without effusion of blood, and raising up of storms; nay, I am afraid, that as the Sea exagitated remaines stormy, and full of high billows after the wind is laid, so will it fall to Europes share: let these contentions be pacified, when they can, the heires of these Princes, and the seeds of dissension may remember former vnkindnesse, and sprowt up again, as the ground is either nourished or manured, except( which is here not to be spoken of) the causes of the war, and occasion of the grievances might be either stisted in their infancy, or digged up in their full growth, and firm flourishing, root and all. To conclude in a word, this defeat of Monsieur Tillie was the 12. or 14. of April. They purpose to haue 2. armies made of these forces, the 1. for Bauaria, the other for Bohemia. They will haue the King to admit of no peace,& yet submit to the majesty of England. And they will haue an absolute expulsion of the Iesuites, wheresoever they come, and punishment of the catholic Priests, that haue stored their invectives with uncivil terms, and odious defamation. FINIS.
