The Life of John of Barneveld
1609-23

CHAPTER XI
14/105

"Day by day the Archdukes are making greater and greater enrolments of riders and infantry in ever increasing mass," he cried, "and therewith vast provision of artillery and all munitions of war.
Within ten or twelve days they will be before Julich in force.

We are sending great convoys to reinforce our army there.

The Prince of Neuburg is enrolling more and more troops every day.

He will soon be master of Mulheim.

If the King of Great Britain will lay this matter earnestly to heart for the preservation of the princes, electors, and estates of the religion, I cannot doubt that Parliament would cooperate well with his Majesty, and this occasion should be made use of to redress the whole state of affairs." It was not the Parliament nor the people of Great Britain that would be in fault when the question arose of paying in money and in blood for the defence of civil and religious liberty.
