Besides these severall members, for the avoyding of schismes in the Empire, and for the mutuall defence, and common preservation of peace among the Princes of Germanie, the Provinces of the Empire are divided into certaine Countries, which they call Circuits, and in them there are particular Counsells appointed, which belong to severall Circuits. First, 6 were instituted in the yeare 1500 at Augusta, and afterward 10 in the yeare 1522 at Norimberg. But every Circuite chuseth out of themselves a secular Praefect, who is either a Prince, a Count, a Baron, or one of the chiefe of the Nobles, to whom foure Counsellers chosen out of the same body, being honest, and wise men, are joyned as assistants. I will heere onely reckon up the Circuits, but in the Tables I will describe their Princes, and their parts.

The first Circle is of Franconia, and it shall be described in the Table of Franconia.

The second is of Bavaria, and it shall be unfolded in the Table thereof.

The third is of Austria, and it shall be declared in the Table of Austria.

The fourth is of Suevia, in the table of Wirtenberg.

The fifth is in the Circuite of Rhene, and it shall be unfolded in the Table of the lower Alsatia.

The sixth is of the foure Electors of Rhene, in the Table of the Palatmate.

The seaventh is of Lower Germanie, in the first Table of Westphalia.

The eight is of lower Saxonie, in the same table.

The ninth of lower Saxonie in the same table.

The tenth of Burgundie, in the table of higher Burgundie.

==== The Emperiall Chamber▪ ====
Besides these Councells in the Circuits, for the deciding of more weighty businesse which happen in the Empire, there is an Emperiall chamber instituted at Spires, in which there is a Prince for the Praesident, or at least an Earle, or some secular man that is thought fit for this office. He hath also two Barones or Earles to be his assistants, two Lawyers, and two Noble men, which have haereditary Lands, & Mannors in the Empire; so that in all he hath sixe assistants. Moreover he hath one of the Electors, and two out of every Circuite, the one halfe whereof is chosen out of the Lawyers, and the other halfe out of the Gentry.
