THe Lord of Hosts hath blest no Land As he hath blessed ours: Whom neither famine, sword nor fire Nor myserie devoures. But in his merry alwayes still He gives us blessings store: And doth the hungry ever fill, And feeds both rich and poore. For wee that know not woes of war Forget the Joyes of peace: But if we once should feele wars stroak Then would our Joyes decreace, Let men of Judgement, ponder well The dangerous State of Armes And they will judge a happy peace More good then feirce allarmes. How many kingdomes hath bin spoyld? How many Cittyes sackt? How many valliant men byn foyld How many ships byn wrackt? What bloody massakers and Rapes What dismall horride deeds? The wars hath both undon and don Whilst thousand thousands bleeds. And true report to Britaines brings What warlike cruell strife Twixt Denmarke & the Sweavian kings Where thousands lost their life
Till mighty James our Royall Leidge Did cause the wars to end, And both these foes gave or'e their seidge And each is others freind. For what the one demanded still The other still denyed: And Kings contention was the cause That many subjects dyed. What Princes speake in heate of blood Is feirce consuming wrath And seldome can it be withstood Without their subjects seath. The Royall King of Denmarke layd Just clayme to certaine Land The which the Sweavian King denayd And did his force with stand But after many myseries And deadly dints of wars Our gracious Soveraigne Lord King James Did end these bloody Jars.

SIxe Articles of consequence, betweene them is agreed: With oathes confirm'd betweene each Prince, to be performed indeed. The which conditions of the peace, in order follow heere: Whereby the cause of all those broyles, to all men may appeare. First that the King of Sweden should, The City Calman yeald: Into the King of Denmarkes hands, (e're further blood be spil'd.) With all the profits of the same: If he the same would hold Or else to his commodity, The Citty must be sold. That Elsbach, Otland, two great townes, and Mensborch, with the land: And Forces must be all deliver'd, to mighty Denmarks hand. For twelve yeares space he must injoy, Those Castles Townes and Forts, And now in rest these Princes great, do florish in their Courts. Besides the King of Sweden must, to end the mighty quarrels: Unto the King of Denmarke pay, of gold full fifteene barrells. For charges of the foresaid warres, and that their shippes at seas, May passe through one anothers bounds, and no man them displease.
That Layland ever shall be free, without all contribution: That Greeneland is the Danish Kings, and give no restitution. That Denmarks King without all let, foure golden Crownes may beare, Which was the great and greatest cause, he first these warres did reare. Besides some things of smaller note, betwixt them is decreed: And so those mighty Christian Kings, like brothers are agreed. Thus after many bloody fights, and many people slaine: The deadly stroake of dangerous armes, brings blessed peace againe.
FINIS. Those which are desirous to see this matter more at large: I referre to the booke newly come forth according to the Dutch Coppie. Printed for Henry Gosson, and are to be sold at his shop on London Bridge. 1613.
