The thirty-two Duty discharged of our March to Donavert, and from thence to Furt on the Peignets.

THE first of Iune our Army did breake up from Munchen in Bavaria, towards Donavert, having left an Army behinde us in Schwabland of eight thousand strong, led by Duke Barnard of Wymar, and Ge∣nerall Major Ruthven to at tend on Ossa; having crossed the Leacke againe at Rhine, we continued our march towards our Randez-vouz at Donavert, where we were appointed to joyne with the rest of our Army; and from thence we continued our march upon Weisenburg, being the passe betwixt Donavert and Nurenberg, where on our march we had certainty, that Duke Barnard had defeated a Regiment of horse, and taken eight Cornets from Ossa, and that Hanniball Count of Hobemems was immediatly sent prisoner to Vlme; and Banier was left for a time at Ausburg, for to settle the Garrison, where the pledges were left in custody. His Majesty very wisely before this march confirmed his confederacy with the Duke of Wirtenberg being of great force to advance his Majesties affaires and the cause, with men, meate and mony, being the next neighbour to Vlme.

His Majesty also at this time did give Patents to Hugh Hamilton and to Iohn Forbesse, as Colonells to leavie two Regiments of foote on the borders of Sweetzerland, [ L] at which time his Majesty did write a favourable Letter unto the Protestant Cantons in Sweetzerland, to give no passe through their country unto the Spaniard from Italy, and that for weighty reasons; chiefly calling them to memory, that the house of Austria and Spaine were ever great crossers of the liberties of their Common-wealth, and most of all, of the liberty of their consciences: which Letter was gratiously accepted by the Swcetzers, and the passage after that was closed up.

Our march continuing to to Furt, [ M] on our way the Bishopricks of Aichstat and Tilligen were brought under his Majesties contribution, as also Papen∣haim Castle was taken in, being the second marshall house belonging to the Empire, not distant above two miles from Wysenburg, where before our coming to Wysenburg, the Duke of Bavier his Forces were retired againe, for their safeties unto Engolstat, being led by Crats, so that without impedi∣ment, our march continued to Furt on the Pegnets, besides Nurenberg: where we incamped againe on the fields, the seventh of Iune, and remai∣ned there till the Lords of Nurenberg invited his Majesty to their City, where his Majesty was Royally entertained, and bountifully offered what in their powers lay, to be given unto his Majesty, either for his Army or his Ma∣jesties contentment otherwise: and in this meane time, the Duke of Bava∣ria his forces were ioyned with Valestine his Army at Egger; having used all the diligence he could in helping his foote forwards on horse-backe and wag∣gons: and in their by-going the seventh of Iune, they tooke in Schultzbach in the over Paltz, having no Garrison in it but Burgers, who defended them∣selves till they made an Accord, which was not kept unto them.
