An important political letter on violence and looting during the Second Anglo-Dutch War composed by Christoph Bernhard of Galen (1606-1678), the Catholic Prince-Bishop of Munster, to the States General of the United Netherlands. The letter denounces the Dutch army's violent methods employed in East Friesland and his own Principality of Munster during the conflict. These included torture (roasting by fire), and the seizing of cattle. This 'good letter' is mentioned in Samuel Pepys's diary, who read it not long after its publication.

ESTC records copies at seven locations in the British Isles (Birmingham, BL, Cambridge, Oxford, NA, Trinity, and UoL), and a further five in North America (California, Huntington, LoC, NYPL, and Yale).
