C. Frederique von Pliegianem.
I Have heard with no lesse pleasure then profit all those most learned and Elaborat Orations, which have bin pronounced in this Princely Diet; and touching my own judgment I totally concurr in point of opinion with the personage that spoke last, and with his highnesse Charles Duke of Saxony, who dilated himself so gal∣lantly upon the same subject, viz. that of all the Kingdoms and States of Europe, Germany deserves the Palm, and principality.
B. Henry von Pa•…•…owitz.
And I also, most excellent Princes, am setled also in the same opinion, which I hold to be Orthodoxall, and not derogatory to any other Countrey be∣sides.
C. Ioachim von Iaxheim.
And I am cleerly of that mind, nor do I hold it a wrong or disparagement to any other part of Europe to veile to Germany, and come in the arreare.
C. Christopher von Belward.
I have weigh'd and winnow'd in my intellectualls, all those opinions that have been delivered in this high convention, and I hold it appertaines de Iure to Germany to have the preheminence, which I wold be ready to maintain with my Sword, as well as with my saying, if occasion did require it; Nor doth this opinion proceed from any partiality or fondnes of affection because I am a German born, but from the pure dictates of reason and Justice.
