Many yeares together hath Germany beene sore vexed with intestine and civill warre.
Who can without a melting heart, think on the much blood that hath been spilt: the ruins of many fair Cities, Townes, Castles, Churches and other edifices that have been made: the distresses that many exiles of all sorts, Princes and Subjects, Noble and Mean, Clergy and Laity, Male and Female, Old and Young have been brought unto: the miserable bondage under which such as have remained in their own territories and habitations, have groaned: the heavy and undue taxes that have been laid on such as have not had their titles, dignities, inheritances, callings and liberties by violence wrested from them: who can without much compunction and compassion hear of or think on those and many other pressures and oppressions?
