Augspurg, the 24th. of May.
Yesterday, and to day, Sermens were held in the Protestant Churches, viz. at Saint
[unr]r, Saint Vllick, Saint Jacob, and in the Colledge and Spittle of the Holy Ghost,
which places were as full, as they could hold: an Order is made, that henceforth in
[unr] said Churches, preaching shall be continually.
Nur[unr]g, the 15th. of May.
The Emperours Embassadours have answered the Swedish Propositions, & the Swedish
[unr]de answer to theirs: out of both may be observed, that thi[unr] present Convent will last
good while, before a finall result be obtained: the Emperour presseth, the Swedish
banding, the Swedish urge a restitution of things agreed on, redressing of grievances
[unr] Political and Ecclesiasticall Estates; the which being perform'd, and their Soldate[unr]
paid, they will disband. The confluxe of great ones hither, is great: yesterday arrived
Marquis Albercht of Anspath; some Embassadours have sent away their needlesse
[unr]dine. From Ottingen is certified, that the Commissioners which were at Dunckel[unr],
as Lord melser, from the Bishop of Constantia, or Cestinitz, Lord Lerckensseld,
[unr] Doctor Hatting, from the Duke of Wirttenberg, after they had dispatcht things
concerning the Execution: the Doctor having setled the Minister in Metling, in his
[unr]turn having an ill guide, was drowned in the River Eger, swell'd by continuall raine,
[unr] Secretary, two Servants, and two Horse, Perished in the water also.
Ratisbone, the 16th. of May.
Yesterday were two Companies of foot conducted through this City, toward Amberg,
[unr] he belong to Col. Royers Regiment, they are to be disbanded at Amberg. In the Spittle
[unr] Hoss was introduced the exercise of the Protestant Religion, with Musick vocall and
Instrumentall, and a communion of the Lords Supper: there was present the Prince of
[unr]ulmbach, his Embassadour, some Senatours of this City, many Protestant Citizens.
The Master of Spittle, and other politicall Officers were restored. There is a great
dispute about the custome, whether that ought to be restored, because the City had it
ever in any quiet possession.
From Nurnberg, the 18th. of May.
Since my last, the Count of Lamberg went hence to the Emperours Court. Duke Le[unr]hard
of Wirtenburg is gon hence: it is expected, that the Emperour should send a
resolution to the Swedish desires in their second answer. The Swedish Generalissimo hath
[unr]vited his Cozen the Prince Elector Palatine, to come hither; that his Highnesses per[unr]onall
presence may importune his restoration, which will be seconded by the Swedish
and others; to the life. The Prince Elector Palatine hath sent his Resignation to the Emperour,
by his Trumpetter, who as soon as the Trumpetter returneth, his Highness goeth
to the Palatinate: he hath sent severall copies of his submission to the Dyet here:
the Swedish have faithfully promised unto him, that they wil not quitany Garrisons unless
the Spanish restore Frankenedale, and in case the Spaniard stick, because they and the
French are not agreed, the Prince coming up into his Countrey, they will give him severall
Towns which they hold, which he shall not restore untill he have his.
From Hague, the 15th. of June.
The Prince of Wales is here still: Ships he cannot get from the States Generall:
Great talk of help from Sweden and Denmark, and the hopes of moneys from other
parts, as yet small appearance. Some of the Scots Commissioners are gone, and we believe
so far agreed, that the business will suddenly be co[unr]pleased, and all will befriends,
the Church wil have content; they who have served the late King in his wars will be restored
to lands, but not to any trust, as to their sitting in Parliament, that seems not yet
to be determined, but in that their declared King[unr]ust deny himself: the King of Denmarks
Embassadour makes no such idle proposition, as to engage the Sound for mony: & if,
