1These armies joined together, and pitched before Misna, & understanding that the Protestants drew near, they fled before they saw their enemies. Then (all lets set aside) they vanquished Thraconia, and having obtained great store of warlike Engines, they destroyed Misna: and when they would have returned home by Franconia, they had great sums of money sent them, that they would not destroy the Countries of Bramberge, and Nuremberg, whereby the Host of the Bohemians was greatly enriched.
