The Reformation of Tustan.
DOnazelce is not accounted the meanest among the free Cities in the Kingdom, which the neighbouring Germans call Tusta, Przikik Jenissek an Officer of the Kingdom, did sollicit this City to a defection but in vaine, and when he had made complaint of, and bemoaned their obstinacy at Prague, in the Colledge of the Jesuites, Don Martin being by chance there present, laught at him, and promised that if he did not effect it, he would be lyable to pay 500. Crownes.
2. Taking therefore with him some of his Souldiery, he enters the City, and sends forth 20. Souldiers against tenne of the Senators, giving them liberty of troubling them in what way they would, and so by this meanes in a short time, many if not all of them were forced to an Apostasie, and so he receive again the pledge which he had left with the Confessour.
3. But he being bitterly set against the Citizens of Tusta, because not for his sake, but for the sake of another, they became Catholiques, sets a fine upon them, and so the miserable Professors of the Gospel were made like Tennis-Balles being tossed up and down to make pastime for those Tyrants.
