Orders and persecutions under Catholic rule in imperial measures
A report details measures since October 26 confirming alms distribution by Roman Catholics, with coercion against Protestants. It cites executions of shoemakers for mass contributions, renewed catechism fines, a schoolmaster ousted in November, and seizures of Reformist churches and properties. The writer notes penalties on Reformists during Catholic holidays and calls the action contrary to assurances from the Electoral Prince and imperial peace agreements.
