The Papists bluster not a little, that Brandenburg,
among other Princes, should pretend Religion
in his Warre against the Duke of Newburg,
saying, They will joyne together to root out the
Ketters, or Herelicks; but there must bee more
words to that bargain; yet by their Clamours
they have procured a threatening Missive from
the Emperour, which here I have sent you in
Dutch, expostulating with the Elector for his
Invasion, and commanding him to lay downe
Armes, and make restitution; but this works nothing
yet.
The Elector is 10000 strong, and the Duke 6000.
Both are very stubborn, and the Souldiers hope
they will keep longer in that good humor.
We are now busie about Instructions for our Ambassadors
towards England, of whome you will
shortly hear. Adieu for this time. Sir, I remain
still
Your, to serve you.
The last from Scotland speaks as followeth:
SIR,
THe Lord is pleased to carry on his work in a
very wonderfull and gracious manner. The
last Lords Day wee marched out of our holes at
the North-ferry, and came before Brunt.
