Contents. The first part <strong>of</strong> the " Swedish Discipline"—the "Formes <strong>of</strong><br />
Prayer " —is a translation from the " Arma Suecica." ' Copies <strong>of</strong> it, from<br />
the same set-<strong>up</strong>, had been sent out separately by Butter <strong>and</strong> Bourne shortly<br />
before, under the title, " The Devotions <strong>and</strong> formes <strong>of</strong> prayer, . . . Being<br />
the first part <strong>of</strong> our intended Booke concerning the Swedish Discipline ", in<br />
order <strong>to</strong> forestall a rival printer, who was about <strong>to</strong><br />
issue another translation.<br />
This is the first <strong>of</strong> a series <strong>of</strong> fifteen pamphlets relating <strong>to</strong> the Thirty Years*<br />
War, all printed by Butter <strong>and</strong> Bourne, <strong>and</strong> appearing under various titles<br />
between 1632 <strong>and</strong> 1639, as follows:<br />
The Swedish Discipline.<br />
The Swedish Intelligencer.—Four Parts.<br />
A Continuation <strong>of</strong> the German His<strong>to</strong>ry.—The Fifth Part.<br />
A His<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>of</strong> the present Warres <strong>of</strong> Germany.—A Sixth Part.<br />
A S<strong>up</strong>plement <strong>to</strong> the Sixth Part <strong>of</strong> the Germane His<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />
The German His<strong>to</strong>ry continued.—The Seventh Part. "All which is<br />
done not by the former but another author."<br />
The Modern His<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>of</strong> the World.—The Eighth Part.<br />
The Principall Passages <strong>of</strong> Germany etc. [No. i .]<br />

" A Continuation, etc. . . . The Fifth Part " <strong>and</strong> the " S<strong>up</strong>plement <strong>to</strong><br />
the Sixth Part " are from Hazlitt ; the others are in the B.M. The earlier<br />
numbers are by the author <strong>of</strong> the " Discipline," <strong>and</strong>, like that, were issued<br />
anonymously ; the Seventh Part is said on the title-page <strong>to</strong> be done "not by<br />
the former but another author", signing himself in the Preface " N. C", who<br />
continued the series. A copy in the B.M. <strong>of</strong> the 2nd ed. <strong>of</strong> Pt. I. <strong>of</strong> the<br />
"Swedish Intelligencer" bears the words, "By Sir Tho. Roe", in a contemporary<br />
h<strong>and</strong>, above the imprint. Roe, who had been ambassador <strong>to</strong> the<br />
Sultan from 1621 <strong>to</strong> 1628, was sent in 1629 <strong>to</strong> the Swedish King, <strong>to</strong> whom<br />
he suggested the invasion <strong>of</strong> Germany. He returned <strong>to</strong> Engl<strong>and</strong> in 1630,<br />
where he lived retired, out <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice, <strong>and</strong> with straitened means, until 1636.<br />
He died in 1644. However, Edmund Rossingham, in a letter <strong>to</strong> Edward,<br />
Viscount Conway, April 16, 1639, ascribes the authorship <strong>to</strong> the learned<br />
Dr. Watts, Chaplain <strong>to</strong> the General <strong>of</strong> the Forces in the Scotch Expedition<br />
<strong>of</strong> 1639. He writes, "This is [Dr. Watt's] opinion, who has been in the<br />
By Arlanibaeus, Frankfort, 1631, 4°; a Continuation, /3., 1632, 4".<br />
