of his Imperiall Majesty, being appointed
on the 28 of this month, S.N: without faile;
to which end about 130 ships lye ready upon
the Donaw, to attend his Majesty and the Court.

highly protest against his Majesties so sudden
departure, alledging, That upon that account
the Instrumentum Pacis would not onely not be satisfied,
but rather in all particulars unreasonably
violated, and a more heavy and insupportable
burthen laid upon the almost languishing States
of the Empire. if at least his said Majesty were
not pleased most graciously to continue the Rixday
