The Bishop, etc.

The Bishop's servants

must be there, at every gathering the Guta must be

Speech inside. General. The servants, angry about houses and properties
in the struggle, things get quite wild, the Bernese stand together
Women, nestling up to their husbands, wanting to appease, Eptingen Marshal
wants to bind the Eptinger, Eptinger, pushes him away bitterly. Guta, Eptinger's
wife, stands fearfully by the child, Eptinger pulls her to himself. There she begs, she is afraid.
Marshal says he does not want to leave him his life again.
Come to me, look at my gray head, child, I swear to you if you
do not come. Her struggle, she stretches her arms toward her father. Eptinger
does not let her go, however; citizens advance on him with clubs. He lets go of
Guta: they shall not hit you / save yourself / the Bernese retreat.
The citizens follow him as well. Marshal also wants to strike, the Bishop fearfully begs him to stay with him, intends to ward everything off, it serves them right, they have not gone that far yet / well then, separate and arm yourselves.

6 Marshal. Guta. Kütterichin. Münch. Bishop.

a) They should sit on their rocky nests. That is right. b) Oh my father.
c) Is it not true, it is sad to be such a man’s spouse; d) The
Bishop could separate them. a) Laments and thinks about what happened. the Bishop's servants weep over someone

A knightly messenger brings the news that one had intended to have seen
Habsburg riders in the village of Ruart or Münzel. f) Since vigilance is necessary.
And now there is war in the city itself. What do you advise, help! How to create peace.
the knight, the rage of the castles is immense. Some of the Bernese the knight's servants were indeed against the citizens

were struck down, one citizen also dead. 6) Who was struck down?

7 Hermann Nagl. Schaltheisbrand and several citizens. Enjoyment with Mazzen
g. The citizens are in agreement, one must drive the proud Zwingherren oppressive lords/tyrants against the bailiffs out of the city, they do not want to leave the robbers within the city's ring walls; so that they unite on the highways. Münch. Yes, one must chase them away,
in order to have peace and unity in the city; the Sittiche had wished for that long ago. g) The citizens had already beaten the Mazze a traditional sign/symbol of defiance or civic agreement according to old custom; that is for the power, for the appearance of the Ramsiein, the Eptingers. It is now only missing that the bailiff and the mayor also drive in their nail. Münch does it with joy g) And then
we will carry it into their house, and whoever is still inside is finished to death. They ask for the Eptinger's image for the Marshal to strike in. the Mazzen completely gone

h) Begs, weeps. Marshal is a Brutus. Kütterichin plays the
Guta the compassionate one, does not strike the Eptingers. She laments.

8 Servant comes, say the Werner, Schorlin at their fortress. They want
to belong to the city rather than to the Zwingherren tyrants. Kütter. whether not rather to the church? Schorlin. Yes, that is my luck They want to belong to the Beit they have been sufficiently
flayed with statute labor and there they can more easily earn off the serfdom. Suggestion of rebellion So serves you right, you tyrants.
Mayor and Bishop: agree, demand help and promise citizenship.
Tomorrow they shall be registered.
News, Rudolf has swum across the Rhine with portable boats, the suburb before the Krangporten is already burning / Schü Door Bernese have gone straight to him.
The Bishop gives the Kütter. a difficult task.
