{MN} The Worthy Lord _Rosworme_ had not worse Journey to the miserable Siege of _Caniza,_ (whereby the extremity of an extraordinary continuing Tempest of Hail, Wind, Frost and Snow, insomuch that the _Christians_ were forced to leave their Tents and Artillery, and what they had; it being so cold, that three or four hundred of them were frozen to Death in a Night, and two or three thousand lost in that miserable flight in the Snowy Tempest, though they did know no Enemy at all to follow them) than the Noble Earl of _Meldritch_ had to _Transilvania,_ where hearing of the Death of _Michael,_ and the brave Duke _Merceur,_ and knowing the Policy of _Busca,_ and the Prince his Royalty, being now beyond all belief of Men, in Possession of the best part of _Transilvania,_ perswaded his Troops, in so honest a Cause, to assist the Prince against the _Turk,_ rather than _Busca_ against the Prince. * * * * * {MN} _The unhappy siege of_ Caniza. {MN} The Soldiers being worn out with those hard Pays and Travels, upon hope to have free liberty to make booty upon what they could get Possession of from the _Turks,_ were easily perswaded to follow him whithersoever. Now this Noble Earl was a _Transilvanian_ born, and his Fathers Country yet Inhabited by the _Turks;_ for _Transilvania_ was yet in three Divisions, though the Prince had the Hearts both of Country and People; yet the Frontiers had a Garrison amongst the unpassable Mountains, some for the Emperour, some for the Prince, and some for the _Turk:_ To regain which small Estate, he desired leave of the Prince to try his Fortunes, and to make use of that experience, the time of twenty years had taught him in the Emperours service, promising to spend the rest of his days, for his Countrys defence in his Excellencies Service. The Prince glad of so brave a Commander, and so many expert and ancient Soldiers, made him Camp Master of his Army, gave him all necessary relief for his Troops, and what freedom they desired to plunder the _Turks._ * * * * * {MN} _Earl_ Meldritch _serveth with Prince_ Sigismundus.
