of understanding, all the beautiful which we ever
enjoy, and all the good which has ennobled our life. But in those
spheres which we do not yet know, and are anxiously investigating,
there remains a boundless work. And this work is to seek the
development of the Divine power in history.

[Footnote 1: Even the great Imperial army that assembled before the
battle of Noerdlingen, in 1634, was a combination of several armies;
that of Wallenstein, an Italian army, Spanish auxiliaries, and troops
of Maximilian of Bavaria, altogether perhaps sixty thousand men, they
only remained together a short time.]

[Footnote 2: This machine consisted of a number of short barrels,
which, bound in parallel rows, formed a nearly cubic mass, the front of
which showed from six to ten rows of as many mouths arranged in a
square. This system of barrels rested on a carriage, and was fired in
rows. Every single barrel was loaded with three or more balls, and
could be fired separately or together. Fronsperg boasts that after one
loading there could be a thousand shots from the hundred barrels of the
gun.]

overheated; there the leather cannon did their last great service
against the Croats.]

of prey; the thirty-six pounders were called eagles, the twenty-four
pounders falcons, twelve pounders vultures, six pounders hawks, three
pounders sparrowhawks, and the sixty-pound mortars owls.]

officers halberds.]

to forty silver groschen of our money; thus sixteen of these was equal
to forty-two of our thalers.]
