One element of his success was no doubt the change in the charter of 1609. By the first charter everything had been held in common by the company, and there had been no division of property or allotment of land among the colonists. Under the new regime land was held in severalty, and the spur of individual interest began at once to improve the condition of the settlement.
The indignation of the high-spirited noble was roused to the highest pitch. And when, on his return to Hungary, he found his estates plundered and devastated by order of the imperial governor, he was all ready to head an insurrection. From 1604 to 1609. Botskoi's Manifesto. Horrible Suffering in Transylvania. Character of Botskoi. Confidence of the Protestants. Superstition of Rhodolph.
Nevertheless, as they had resolved upon a general peace, they were willing to treat with her as well as with the others. From the Death of William the Silent to the Twelve Year's Truce 1609 By John Lothrop Motley
Tale of a Tub, a Comedy. Time vindicated to himself and to his Honour, presented 12 nights, 1623. Volpone, or the Fox, a Comedy, first acted in the year 1605; this is one of his acted plays. Case is altered, a Comedy, acted and printed 1609. Widow, a Comedy, acted at the private house in Black Fryars. New Inn, or the Light Heart, a Comedy, acted 1629.
The ships departed for England in December, 1608. When Smith returned from his expedition for food in the winter of 1609, he found that all the provision except what he had gathered was so rotted from the rain, and eaten by rats and worms, that the hogs would scarcely eat it.
It was not until midsummer of 1609 that the ratifications of the Treaty of Truce, one of the great triumphs in the history of diplomacy, had been exchanged, and scarcely had this period been put to the eternal clang of arms when the death of a lunatic threw the world once more into confusion.
The fifty men, without loss of a single life, took back enough food to victual the town. Early in the spring of 1609, the president thus made known his policy to his constituents: "Countrymen! You see now that power resteth wholly in myself. You must obey this now for a law he that will not work shall not eat.
So Decker: "Talke of none but lords and such ladies with whom you have plaid at Primero." Gul's Horne-booke, 1609. 37. Among the Marquis of Worcester's celebrated "Century of Inventions," 12mo, 1663, is one "so contrived without suspicion, that playing at Primero at cards, one may, without clogging his memory, keep reckoning of all sixes, sevens, and aces, which he hath discarded."
The town was already a place of fashionable resort on account of its mineral waters; they are mentioned as of European celebrity; and as early as 1609 a ball-room was erected, avenues were planted, and neither Bath nor Tunbridge could rival Epsom in the splendour of their appointments. Towards the beginning of the last century, however, the waters gradually lost their reputation.
In the seventeenth century, moreover, the Spanish monarchy was declining rapidly both in power and prestige, and its empire, though still formidable, no longer overshadowed the other nations of Europe as in the days of Charles V. and Philip II. France, with the Bourbons on the throne, was entering upon an era of rapid expansion at home and abroad, while the Dutch, by the truce of 1609, virtually obtained the freedom for which they had struggled so long.
