The Treaty of Peace both with the Turks and the Rebels, was yet in hand, whereunto how much the Turks were for their part inclined, dip Garrifon Souldiers of Rat had good proof, for the eighteenth day of Martib, being the day at theft" requeft appointed for the Treaty, and whereon the Commiuioners on both parts there meeting together, lbould nave furthered the Negotiation of the Peace, not jjaft fifty'tof the Turks corning to the Gate of the Towty required to be let in, as if they* had come for that purpofe. Whom our men nothing fufpe&ing, wereâbout to receive them into the Town; when as a Serkitacl without the Town, it being a thick mift, perceived three thoufand moreof the Turks lurking thereby, and forthwith giving an alarm ro thofe of the Town, bewrayed the Enemies Treachery, who thereupon retired, they of the Town difcharging their great Ordnance after them. The next Month, about the beginning of April, certain MelTcngers came from Eperia ( a City of the upper Hungary, jet holden for the Emperour ) to Vre'nna, declaring the mod miferableftate of chap .City; which, al-- though the way thereunto being three or four Weeks before opened, it had received fome good ftore of Vi£tual, yet now ( as they faid .) was fo on every fide by the Rebels bcfct s as that no Ptovifion at all could more thereunto come; hoping by that means to bring to pais, that the Citizens, pinched with hunger and want of things neceflah ry, fliouldat length yield thcmfelvcs together with the City into their Power. By which means they but a little before had obtained the ftrong-Town of Tokay, wherein the Famine was fo great, that the Souldiers had not only eaten their Shooes and Leather Jerkins, but had now alfo kill'd two Boys to eat, and fome others of them had caff Lots among thcmfelves, which (hould be kill'd for the other to cat. By which Extremity, Rtil>er, the Go[4 vernour of the Place, was enforced to yiek}; ua-J to whom Botfcay, who then lay at Cajfovia, is w^d* to have offered a great fum of Money,"jfteh many' other good things, to have talrerf ftiV paft; aft which he mod conftantly rcfufed, proteftmg even unto Death to continue faithfuls This Obedience to the Emperour. : About the fame Time Illijhafciiu, who had t£-: fTheEe*P^ foWfiota little laboured about the furthering*of, ters of ll' the Peace in Hungary, writ Letters from Cajfov'u lithafiuu lent to a unrO 4 certain great Man at Vienna •' whereby he" Noble declared, that Botfcay without the Coofcnt of fjbe man of \% Eftatcsof Hungar%CQ\i\& of himfeJldetermine nothing concerning me Cbnclufion d£ t the Peace. 3 enna. whoiiad bft-times told him to his Fa^c a that ra-! Jfcr'than they would again fubmit themfclves to a'foreign Goveroour, they wbuld for.ever put' rhcmfe|ves'under the Turks Protection; andydt. p^jhiifed by the fame Letters, that although fie" had gor unto himfelf great Dffpleafure tfiereby, with the Haidticks, he would not for all that ceafcT SpBl means to draw the States of the Country in* their next affembly unto his part, fo that that which was before concluded at Vienna concerning Religion, ftiould no( again be revcrfed j for many of them (as he faid ) were affraift that it would Ht)t'be .performed, Which" was the'rejromifed urir, totrje States concerning the ExerciKjof their Re- Ifgion.

And that /Hey could not, nor would not endure a'fd-i • reigti'ddvetnour to' rule over fnem, with* whom ' tbeyyouja not talk; nor yet fuffer Clergy-men to h^ycWjj y Vbifts in their Civil Affairs. And there., [fiircCnefîd) hfc thought it veiy n J ecelTary that the 1 Emperour fhould not doubt in this point to I grlatifie the Hungariafis. Aha wkYTranfilvaniai I whereupon be had been hitherto enforced to beftow fo great coil for the keeping" thefeof s being nbw left unto BofJcdy y he fhoujd app'oiht fuch a] Governour oyer' Hungary as the .States of that Country fhould require. For that? there was [npj hope 1 of any Peace to be. made with tfie-Tufks. cX-^ ce^'Sftfiay and the States of Hungary IhQbld urt-\ dertake the Treaty thereof; fefhg that they, t?ui only fceking for a Peace in fhew, were oftentimes i cKfcbvercd but to feek tot thek'ciwn Advantages and Profits. But concerning U/ifhafciut.himfelf, the HunIlRfljafdngarian Rebels feeing hirh fomucn toJabou'r about reproch- the concluding of 3 Peace, in fcorn called him by j fiilûiea the by-name of Cripelifbaciht t zs he that too much] bjrther- Hungitti* enclined unto the Germans 1 which by-name he, took in; Jo 111 part, as that he departed ftraight to' Eperia, with a purpofe not ro have been prefent at the next aflembly of the States • but being again pacified, and by Botfcay called back, he made fuch a notable Speech unto the States in their next Aflembly, that aM men now began both to ; hope and wiflv more for" Peace than they had bs« fore done. * # In the mean tune? the Turks in great numbers êing gathered together to Belgrade, expected the end of this Treaty for Peace, and Letters from the Great Sultan to Bstfcay were intercepted alfo; whereby be advifeth him to proceed in his purpofe, and joyning with hfs Powers, to feize uporj Auftria, Eihemia, and Moravia; for that he could be contented with Hungary and".', "tranfifoania, and leave the reft of the Provinces unto Botfcay 3s his.
