A Letter written the 19. of March 1620. To the illustrious Christian Prince of Anhalt, by the renowned Gabriel, Prince of Hungary and Transiluania.
Illustrious Prince and noble friend:
WE vnderstand by both your Letters sent vnto vs, not only the vnfriendly but also hostile intentions of Caesar towards vs: not with∣out great admiration and griefe. Which thing happening contrarie to our hope and opinion, he may not maruell if in deferring our aides lon∣ger then necessity and our owne desires require, we prouide for our selues. For hauing made such League with Ferdinand, as hee was to grant the like vpon demand to our Friends and Confede∣rates, it appeareth by the last Letters sent by Cae∣sar, and also by the inclosed, in what manner wee haue sollicited and vrged the granting thereof in Caesars Court. Perceiuing therefore Caesars so manifest hostilitie, and the truce to be broken and violated by him, and that hee hath not satisfied the agrements betwixt vs and him, wee will con∣uert by Gods helpe all our cogitations, studies & forces to the aide of our Confederates, neither will wee make delay in an office so necessarie. Of which things by our Secretary (or Gentleman V∣sher) we would more fully signifie vnto you. And
