Rare Dutch pamplet on the persecution of Protestants in Westphalia. Notable, among other features, for the engraving on the title-page, which measures 3½x5½. It has three vignettes showing torture and mayhem in the top portion, below which is crowd of burghers, among whom are two Native Americans, unclothed but with feather headdresses, hands raised in celebratory fashion, one of the few depictions of Native Americans in 16th century works.
