Engraved vignette on the titlepage. - As soon as it became clear that a ceasefire had been agreed in April 1607 between the Dutch Republic and Spain, leading up to the 12 Years Truce, various states and interest groups began to take positions and try to influence the process. German Protestants reacted with dismay to the news, as they believed that the fanatically Catholic authorities in Madrid and Brussels could not be trusted and would violate the armistice at an unguarded moment. The French and English kings were annoyed by the fact that they had not been consulted first. In May 1607, three French ambassadors led by Pierre Jeannin arrived to participate in the Hague discussions. Van Oldenbarnevelt also invited delegations from England, Denmark and Germany (Cologne, the Palatinate, Brandenburg, Hesse-Kassel, Württemberg, Gulik, Anhalt-Cöthen, Brandenburg-Ansbach and Bentheim), who visited The Hague between the end of 1607 and the beginning of 1608. arrived. Both the North and South refused the presence of Emperor Rudolf II's diplomats because they considered themselves sovereign and did not want interference from above. Although all delegates pretended to fulfill only the role of advisors, they did come to promote their own interests and could join either negotiating camp at any time. This is a printed copy of a letter from the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, to the Dutch States General, dated 19 October 1607, concerning the peace negotiations with Spain, with the States General's undated answer (in fact from 7 January 1608, and longer than the Emperor's letter).

A letter from the Holy Roman Emperor, Rudolf II, to the Dutch States General, dated 19 October 1607, concerning the peace negotiations with Spain, with the States General's undated answer (in fact from 7 January 1608, and longer than the Emperor's letter). The Emperor notes that King Philip of Spain and his governor in the Netherlands, Archduke Albert have already recognized the United Provinces as a "Free Republic", regrets that the negotiations for peace have stalled and implies that the States could do more to facilitate progress. The States General's reply to the Emperor says that King Philip and Archduke Albert, have not fully informed him, and that the Spanish have continued to attempt to undermine the United Provinces by violence on land and at sea contrary to the agreements reached in Cologne.The pamphlet went through two editions, which were issued with all three editions of the Nederlandtsche Bye-Korf between April and August 1608.With minor tears on or near the fold of the outer bifolium, not approaching the text, and slightly browned, otherwise a very good copy.l Asher 26, 27 or 28/33; Knuttel 1513; Simoni G 43; Tiele 716; OCLC WorldCat (5 copies).
