The [co]ntinuation [of] the forraine avisoes for two weekes last past, containing many very remarkable passages of Germanie, France, Spaine, Italy, Sweden, the Low-Countries, and other parts of the world ...

From Voytland the 7. 17. of December.

IN these parts wee had some rest for divers moneths, but now we are like to be againe over-runne and ruinated by both Armies, because all the Imperiall forces, which were gone already to their Winterquarters, have received expresse order from Ratisbone to march towards Bohe∣mia; whereof 6. Regiments of foote and 4. Regiments of horse lying enquartered about Swinefurt, are broke vp already whilest Generall Bannier is marching for∣ward with great speed, the Swedish Generall Major de∣mands quarter for three moneths in Saxonie for his troupes, and besides great summes of mony of all the Cities in Saxonie, and yet it is to be feared, when those summes shall be payed, that Generall Bannier (who is likewise comming hitherwards with 6000 horse and 12000 foot) will demand as much or more which will be the vtter vndoing of these Countries. The said Gen: Bannier hath left 6000 men on the River of Wesar, for the most part enquartered in the County of Shaumburg, what way he will take with his army is not knowne as yet, some say he will march towards Egra, some to∣wards Bohemia to prevent the Imperialists, and to cut

off the passage from them, and to make his forces the more willing to incommodate the Imperialists with this Wintermarch, he hath promised to give 3 moneths pay vnto every souldier for the Winterquarter.
