chancellor Thering deeming them

do their utmost for them. A like
example of pity was shown in Regens-

bergers a come, he appeared of his
own accord, and offered to care for
twenty of these ~Salzburgers at his own

give him more than twelve. These he
entertained royalty, and gave them

the pilgrimage OF these people seemed
