The
great
and
famous
Battell
of
Lutzen
,
fought
betweene
the
renowned
King
of
Sweden
,
and
Walstein
,
wherein
were
left
dead
vpon
the
place
between
5.
and
6000
of
the
Swedish
party
,
and
betweene
10.
and
12000.
of
the
Imperialists
,
where
the
King
himselfe
was
vnfortunately
slaine
,
whose
death
counterpoyz'd
all
the
other
.
Pappenheim
,
Merode
,
Islonain
,
and
divers
other
great
Commanders
were
offered
vp
like
so
many
sacrifices
on
the
Swedish
Altar
,
to
the
memory
of
their
King
.
Here
is
also
Inserted
an
Abridgment
of
the
Kings
life
,
and
a
Relation
of
the
King
of
Bohemia's
Death
.
THE
King
having
mustred
his
Troups
,
and
those
of
Duke
Bernard
of
Saxon-Weymar
about
Erffurt
,
the
Armie
received
command
to
advance
towards
Naumburg
.
The
King
came
thither
in
person
on
Saint
Martins
day
,
and
cutt
in
pieces
two
Regiments
of
Merode
,
that
oppos'd
him
by
the
way
.
Hee
was
no
sooner
arrived
at
Naumbourg
,
but
hee
received
Intelligence
that
the
Enemies
forces
lay
encamped
at
Leipzig
,
and
Noerspurg
,
and
stretched
thence
in
length
as
farre
as
Weissenfels
,
and
that
they
were
entrenched
in
a
place
advantageous
.
Which
proceeding
of
theirs
obliged
the
King
to
doe
the
like
at
Naumbourg
,
and
to
seeke
the
meanes
to
joyne
his
Armie
with
the
Electorall
,
which
then
lay
about
Torgau
,
consisting
of
fifteene
thousand
men
,
and
reenforced
with
two
thousand
Horse
,
belonging
to
the
Duke
of
Lunebourg
.
Hee
sent
divers
Postes
to
informe
them
of
his
comming
,
and
of
the
courses
were
to
bee
taken
for
their
vniting
.
Walstein
,
and
Pappenheim
being
lodg'd
between
them
,
had
an
eye
on
them
both
,
and
made
it
their
onely
studie
to
hinder
their
coniunction
.
On
the
fourteenth
of
November
,
the
Scours
of
the
King
brought
him
word
,
the
Enemie
had
sack'd
,
and
abandon'd
the
Citie
,
and
Castle
of
Weissenfells
,
layd
plaine
his
Trenches
,
and
retyred
himselfe
towards
Lutzen
,
two
German
miles
from
Leipzig
.
The
King
hearing
this
newes
,
resolved
no
longer
to
delay
the
Fight
,
his
courage
not
permitting
him
to
temporize
any
further
,
nor
to
attend
the
returne
of
his
Posts
sent
to
the
Electour
.
That
which
confirm'd
him
in
this
his
Resolution
,
was
the
assurance
of
certaine
prisoners
brought
him
by
Relinguen
,
that
Pappenheim
was
gone
to
Hall
with
sixe
Regiments
Wherefore
his
Armie
had
order
to
march
toward
the
enemie
,
the
fifteenth
,
three
houres
before
day
,
and
to
dare
him
to
a
Battaile
.
The
diligence
of
the
Van
was
such
,
that
it
reached
the
enemie
by
the
second
houre
after
Noone
,
and
began
the
Assault
.
The
Imperialists
failed
not
to
make
head
,
and
a
strong
resistance
.
Many
charges
were
giuen
with
advantage
,
and
losse
equall
,
the
victorie
enclining
now
to
this
side
,
then
to
that
,
till
at
length
the
Swedes
gaue
fire
to
their
small
Field-pieces
,
which
pierc'd
,
and
broke
sundry
Imperiall
Companies
,
and
forc'd
them
to
a
Retreat
.
The
Swedes
became
Masters
of
the
Field
,
and
brought
to
the
King
a
Standard
taken
from
the
Enemie
,
with
this
Deuise
,
La
Fortune
,
&
l'Aigle
Romain
,
Fortune
,
and
the
Roman
Eagle
.
Hence
some
drewe
this
Prognosticke
,
that
the
enemie
should
ere
long
part
with
the
one
and
the
other
.
A
thicke
miste
,
and
the
night
comming
upon
them
,
the
Swedes
were
hindered
in
the
pursuit
of
the
enemy
,
and
the
victory
.
The
King
remained
in
the
Field
,
and
stood
in
order
of
Battaile
all
night
,
having
no
other
shelter
then
his
Caroach
,
resolved
to
follow
close
his
Designe
,
and
engage
the
enemie
to
a
generall
Combate
.
Hee
communicated
his
Intention
to
the
Dukes
of
Saxon-Weymar
,
and
other
remarkeable
Commanders
,
who
passed
away
that
night
neere
his
Caroach
,
having
nothing
over
their
heads
,
but
the
Heavenly
Arch
,
nor
any
thing
under
them
,
but
trusses
of
strawe
layd
upon
the
earth
.
Their
field
furniture
they
left
behind
,
believing
they
should
returne
to
lodge
in
Naumbourg
.
But
the
patience
of
their
Generall
made
them
with
ease
passe
over
these
inconveniences
.
Some
of
the
principall
Officers
endeavour'd
to
diswade
the
King
from
giving
Battaile
,
alleadging
that
the
Forces
of
the
Enemie
were
great
,
his
Seates
advantagious
,
their
owne
Armie
feeble
,
and
wearied
with
continuall
Marches
;
and
that
it
was
farre
safer
to
wayt
for
the
arrivall
of
the
Saxon
,
and
make
so
strong
an
vnion
,
as
may
promise
successe
in
the
equalitie
of
their
Armies
.
Their
reasons
were
not
received
,
but
crossed
by
the
King
,
with
many
more
solid
,
derived
from
the
Experience
of
the
times
past
,
and
the
present
astonishment
of
the
enemie
,
from
the
courage
of
his
Souldiers
,
and
his
advantages
obteined
,
from
the
Iustice
of
his
Armes
,
from
the
Benediction
from
aboue
,
from
the
absence
of
Pappenheim
,
and
the
discommodities
he
should
bee
subiect
to
in
that
season
now
waxing
bitter
,
in
case
hee
should
suffer
the
enemie
to
perfect
his
Trenches
,
which
hee
had
alreadie
begun
in
many
places
.
To
which
hee
added
his
Reputation
,
and
how
important
it
was
to
hasten
the
Combate
,
saying
alowd
,
That
hee
could
not
suffer
Walstein
to
beard
him
,
without
calling
him
to
an
account
,
and
letting
him
see
by
proofe
he
was
not
to
be
faulted
,
that
ere
this
hee
had
not
seene
him
with
his
sword
in
his
hand
:
that
hee
desired
to
make
tryall
of
his
ability
in
the
Field
,
and
ferret
him
out
of
his
burrowes
.
The
Commanders
perceiving
by
the
language
,
and
tone
of
the
King
,
that
his
decree
to
fight
was
inevitable
,
and
their
opposition
fruitlesse
,
conformed
their
wills
by
an
humble
obedience
to
his
,
not
without
reiterated
protestations
to
subscribe
themselves
his
,
in
their
owne
bloud
,
and
seale
it
with
the
losse
of
their
lives
:
Whereat
the
King
rejoyced
extreamely
,
nor
could
he
containe
his
joy
from
appearing
in
his
face
,
but
by
his
cheerefull
lookes
expressed
his
inward
content
,
and
forth-with
called
for
a
new
sute
of
Chammois
,
which
hee
presently
put
on
.
Then
they
presented
to
him
his
Armes
,
and
the
Duke
Bernard
of
Saxon
Weymar
,
and
sundry
other
Princes
,
and
Officers
conjur'd
him
by
all
things
deare
and
holy
to
weare
his
Helmet
and
Cuirasse
:
but
they
could
not
winne
him
to
it
,
hee
objecting
the
incumbrance
,
and
laying
his
hand
on
the
Musket
bullet
still
remaining
in
his
shoulder
,
which
to
him
made
the
least
weight
unsupportable
.
The
Kings
designe
was
to
beginne
the
combate
by
the
peepe
of
day
;
but
so
thicke
and
darke
a
mist
arose
,
that
it
confin'd
the
eye
to
a
small
distance
,
and
rendred
any
enterprise
not
onely
difficult
,
but
dangerous
:
Wherefore
the
King
was
constrained
to
expect
till
the
Sunne
had
chased
it
away
,
which
till
then
had
deprived
him
of
all
sight
of
the
Enemy
.
The
interim
(
according
to
his
custome
)
hee
imployed
in
his
devotions
,
and
in
making
the
Round
of
his
Army
,
to
marke
the
disposition
and
countenance
of
his
souldiers
,
and
encourage
them
to
fight
manfully
.
Comming
to
the
Quarter
of
the
Swedes
and
Finlanders
,
he
put
them
in
Battaile
Ray
,
and
with
a
voice
and
countenance
alike
chee
efull
he
thus
bespake
them
:
My
friends
,
and
Camerades
,
this
is
the
day
that
invites
you
to
demonstrate
what
you
are
;
shew
your selves
men
of
valour
,
keepe
your
rankes
,
and
fight
couragiausly
for
your selves
and
your
King
:
If
this
day
the
bravery
of
your
spirits
shine
forth
,
you
shall
find
the
heavenly
Benediction
perched
on
the
poynts
of
your
swords
,
Honour
,
and
a
recompence
of
your
valour
;
On
the
contrary
,
if
you
turne
backe
,
and
basely
and
foolishly
commit
the
armed
hand
to
the
protection
of
the
unarmed
foot
,
you
shall
find
Infamy
,
my
disgrace
,
and
your
owne
ruine
,
and
I
protest
to
you
on
the
word
of
a
King
,
that
not
the
least
piece
of
you
,
or
of
your
bones
,
shall
returne
againe
into
Swedeland
.
This
Exhortation
,
delivered
in
a
high
and
piercing
tone
,
wonne
from
the
Swedes
and
Finlanders
onely
these
generall
acclamations
:
That
they
would
approve
themselves
men
of
Honor
;
that
they
had
lives
only
for
him
,
which
they
were
ambitious
to
preserve
in
the
obteining
of
victory
,
and
his
good
graces
.
The
Swedes
being
placed
in
Rank
and
File
,
the
King
embattailes
the
Alman
Regiments
,
and
thus
in
few
wordes
exhorts
them
:
My
friends
,
Officers
,
and
Souldiers
,
I
conjure
you
,
by
your
love
to
heaven
and
me
,
this
day
to
manisest
whose
you
are
;
You
shall
fight
not
only
under
me
,
but
with
me
,
my
bloud
and
life
shall
marke
you
out
the
way
to
Honour
;
Breake
not
your
rankes
,
but
second
me
with
courage
:
If
you
performe
this
,
Victory
is
ours
with
all
her
glories
,
you
,
and
your
posterity
shall
enjoy
it
;
if
you
give
backe
,
your
lives
and
liberties
have
one
period
.
This
Speech
was
answered
with
an
universall
shout
,
and
vowes
reciprocall
;
That
they
would
make
it
appeare
they
knew
the
way
to
Victory
,
or
to
death
;
that
the
King
should
receive
all
satisfaction
in
their
service
,
and
the
Enemy
should
acknowledge
hee
had
to
doe
with
men
of
Honour
.
Walstein
,
and
his
principall
Officers
discovered
quickely
by
his
Scouts
the
resolution
of
the
King
,
and
the
countenance
of
his
,
and
thereupon
grounded
this
resolution
,
that
they
must
needs
come
to
blowes
.
Walstein
was
infinitely
desirous
to
avoyd
the
Combate
;
but
hee
was
wisely
admonished
by
some
about
him
,
that
every
step
his
men
made
in
a
retreat
would
take
from
their
courage
,
and
give
it
to
the
Enemy
,
and
bring
upon
his
Army
a
Panicke
feare
,
and
an
utter
confusion
.
Hee
spent
that
whole
night
in
digging
and
intrenching
,
in
embattailing
his
Army
,
and
planting
his
Artillery
in
diverse
places
advantagious
,
the
better
to
sustaine
the
shocke
of
the
Enemy
.
Pappenheim
was
sent
for
backe
in
post
hast
,
who
was
gone
to
Hall
,
being
very
desirous
to
invest
it
,
not
believing
that
the
King
would
give
or
accept
of
battaile
,
before
the
Forces
of
Saxon
were
arrived
.
In
the
meane
time
the
utmost
endeavours
of
Walstein
were
not
wanting
to
hearten
his
men
,
and
layd
before
them
Honour
,
Reward
,
their
advantages
,
their
Forces
,
the
justice
of
their
cause
,
which
God
,
the
Catholike
Church
,
the
Emperour
,
and
the
whole
Empire
justifyed
against
the
violence
and
usurpation
of
a
stranger
,
and
all
this
and
more
he
uttered
in
his
Litter
,
which
his
Gowt
would
not
permit
him
to
forsake
.
This
was
subject
to
diverse
interpretations
;
Some
believing
that
indeed
he
felt
some
symptomes
of
that
sickenesse
very
familiar
to
him
;
others
maintayned
,
this
posture
to
have
no
good
grace
on
a
day
of
Battaile
,
and
judg'd
that
Walstein
was
very
willing
to
preserve
himselfe
safe
and
sound
,
that
hee
might
hereafter
serve
his
Master
,
and
his
party
:
others
averred
,
he
was
much
indebted
to
his
Gowt
,
which
did
warrant
his
retreat
without
his
reproach
,
necessity
commanding
the
stoutest
courage
to
yield
to
such
an
Enemy
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
King
being
ready
at
all
poynts
,
and
his
Army
embattail'd
,
hee
would
take
no
refection
,
because
he
would
be
an
example
to
his
men
,
and
lose
no
time
.
Being
placed
in
the
head
of
Steinbocks
Regiment
,
hee
thus
spake
with
avoyce
audible
:
Now
,
now
is
the
time
Camerades
,
wee
must
goe
on
undaunted
;
let
us
charge
,
let
us
charge
in
the
name
of
God
:
Iesus
,
Iesus
,
Iesus
aide
me
in
fighting
this
day
,
and
favour
my
right
.
These
words
were
no
sooner
pronounced
,
but
he
gave
spurres
to
his
horse
,
and
with
his
head
inclined
,
gave
a
charge
to
a
Battalion
of
foure
and
twentie
Companies
of
Cuirassiers
,
which
were
esteemd
the
flower
of
the
Imperiall
Army
.
Two
Swedish
Regiments
had
order
to
second
him
.
The
Artillery
of
the
King
was
advanced
,
and
five
Cannon
shot
discharged
upon
the
Enemy
,
who
answered
them
with
two
hundred
,
which
went
off
with
a
horrid
noyse
,
and
lightning
,
but
with
small
losse
to
the
Swedes
,
the
Cannoniers
of
Walstein
not
having
well
taken
their
aime
.
But
the
first
shocke
was
fatall
to
the
King
,
and
all
the
Army
:
For
though
the
Squadrons
led
by
so
brave
a
Chiefe
,
with
an
unheard
of
resolution
,
gave
on
like
Thunder
on
the
Enemy
,
and
made
him
recoyle
;
yet
one
shot
from
a
Pistoll
gave
him
new
courage
,
which
pierced
the
Kings
arme
,
and
broke
the
bone
.
When
those
next
the
King
saw
him
bleed
,
they
were
amaz'd
,
and
cryed
out
,
The
King
is
wounded
.
Which
wordes
the
King
heard
with
much
distast
and
repining
,
fearing
it
would
abate
the
valour
of
his
men
:
wherefore
dissembling
his
griefe
with
a
joyfull
and
undaunted
looke
,
hee
sought
to
quallify
the
feare
of
his
Souldiers
with
these
masculine
words
:
The
hurt
is
slight
Camerades
,
take
courage
,
let
us
make
use
of
our
oddes
,
and
returne
to
the
Charge
.
The
Commanders
that
were
about
him
,
with
hands
lifted
up
,
earnestly
besought
him
to
retire
:
but
the
apprehension
of
frighting
his
men
,
and
his
ambition
to
overcome
prevailed
.
The
Assault
being
rebegunne
with
vigour
,
and
fervour
,
and
the
King
fighting
againe
in
the
head
of
his
Troopes
,
once
more
to
breake
those
Rankes
that
were
againe
made
up
,
the
losse
of
bloud
,
and
the
griefe
which
hee
felt
in
the
agitation
of
his
body
,
enfeebled
much
his
spirits
and
voyce
,
which
caused
him
to
whisper
these
wordes
in
the
eare
of
the
Duke
of
Saxon
of
Lavenburg
;
Convey
me
hence
,
for
I
am
dangerously
wounded
.
Hee
had
scarcely
ended
his
speech
,
and
turned
head
to
retire
,
when
a
Cuirassier
marking
this
retreat
,
advanced
upon
the
gallop
from
the
Battalion
of
the
Enemy
,
and
discharged
his
Carabin
full
in
the
shoulder
of
the
King
,
with
this
insulting
speech
:
And
art
thou
there
then
?
long
it
is
that
I
have
sought
thee
.
Some
imagined
that
it
was
Pappenheim
that
gave
the
blow
,
by
reason
hee
had
often
vaunted
,
that
an
auncient
prediction
was
found
amongst
the
Records
of
his
Family
,
That
a
Stranger
King
should
dye
by
the
hand
of
a
Pappenheim
,
with
diverse
scarres
in
his
body
,
and
mounted
on
a
white
Horse
.
And
for
this
cause
(
having
many
scarres
in
his
face
,
and
diverse
other
parts
of
his
body
stitcht
up
)
hee
reflected
on
himselfe
,
and
beleeved
the
Prophecy
should
bee
accomplished
by
his
hand
.
But
this
needes
no
other
confutation
then
the
absence
of
Pappenheim
,
and
the
time
when
the
King
received
his
hurt
,
which
was
in
the
very
beginning
of
the
Assault
,
before
Pappenheim
could
make
one
of
the
adverse
party
.
I
may
add
,
that
the
discretion
of
this
worthy
Count
would
not
have
sufferd
him
to
runne
into
an
errour
so
uncivill
,
as
to
speake
so
undecently
to
a
Prince
of
that
eminency
.
When
the
King
had
received
this
mortall
wound
,
which
pierced
him
through
and
through
,
he
fell
from
his
Horse
,
and
gave
up
the
Ghost
,
with
nothing
but
(
my
God
)
in
his
mouth
.
He
that
made
this
accursed
shot
was
beaten
downe
with
a
storme
of
Harquebusados
,
and
sacrifised
to
the
indignation
of
the
Swedes
.
But
while
the
Groome
of
the
Kings
Chamber
,
and
diverse
others
lighted
to
raise
the
body
,
the
charge
beganne
againe
more
furiously
then
ever
;
the
Enemy
having
taken
notice
of
this
blow
,
and
concluding
that
all
was
now
finisht
,
and
that
hee
should
have
Swedes
good
cheape
.
This
hindered
the
Kings
servants
from
bearing
of
his
body
,
and
summond
every
man
to
regaine
the
stirrupe
,
and
withstand
the
foe
:
so
that
the
King
could
not
bee
defended
from
receiving
another
pistoll
shot
in
the
head
,
and
being
twice
runne
through
with
a
sword
:
The
Imperiallists
fearing
him
even
after
death
,
and
cowardly
suspecting
his
speedy
resurrection
.
The
poore
Groome
of
his
Chamber
never
forsooke
him
,
but
breath'd
his
last
upon
his
Masters
carcasse
,
after
the
receipt
of
an
infinity
of
wounds
.
But
neither
the
Kings
death
,
nor
the
great
oddes
that
the
enemie
had
,
being
strongly
entrenched
in
divers
places
,
could
let
the
Swedes
(
madded
with
their
inestimable
losse
)
from
assaulting
the
Imperiallists
with
an
unspeakable
furie
,
insomuch
that
they
compelled
the
Battalion
of
Cuirassiers
(
which
made
the
left
Wing
)
to
retire
into
their
Trenches
,
whom
they
dislodged
about
noone
,
and
gayned
seven
of
their
Cannon
,
together
with
many
Colours
and
Cornets
.
Lieutenant
Coronell
Relinguen
received
commaund
to
advaunce
,
and
with
three
hundred
Horse
,
to
charge
foure
Regiments
of
Crabbats
commaunded
by
Isolani
,
which
made
the
right
wing
of
the
Enemy
,
which
hee
performed
with
so
much
braverie
and
courage
,
that
hee
twice
pearc'd
through
them
,
and
brought
backe
three
Standards
,
leaving
behinde
one
of
his
owne
.
All
his
Officers
were
wounded
,
and
hee
himselfe
in
the
second
onset
had
his
arme
shot
through
with
a
Pistoll
bullet
,
which
forced
him
to
retyre
.
Isolani
Generall
of
the
Crabbats
lost
his
life
,
with
a
great
number
of
his
men
.
Eighteene
of
his
Companies
charged
some
Germane
Regiments
that
guarded
the
Baggage
,
but
they
were
stoutly
opposed
,
the
Combate
fierce
,
the
Assaults
reiterated
,
the
earth
dyed
crimson
,
and
burdened
with
carkasses
,
the
Crabbats
driven
backe
,
though
not
without
some
disorder
of
the
Germane
Horse
,
recoyled
amongst
the
Carts
:
but
this
disadvantage
the
Enemy
could
not
espie
,
by
reason
of
a
thicke
cloud
which
then
arose
,
and
gaue
the
Germanes
opportunitie
to
ranke
themselues
.
The
Imperiall
Commaunders
,
Galas
,
Merode
,
and
Holok
,
longing
to
recover
their
Seat
,
and
Cannon
lo●●
,
tooke
selected
Bands
,
fired
the
foure
Corners
of
Lurzen
,
to
blinde
the
Swedes
,
and
keepe
them
from
piercing
that
side
,
to
the
succour
of
their
friends
.
This
Essay
was
followed
by
successe
,
the
Trench
force
by
the
Imperiallists
,
the
seven
pieces
of
Cannon
lost
,
regained
,
and
some
Swedish
Regiments
disordered
.
The
Duke
Bernard
of
Saxon
Weymar
seeing
the
confesion
of
his
men
,
and
beeing
advertiz'd
by
Kinphausen
of
the
Kings
death
,
was
extreamely
incensed
,
and
protesting
hee
had
not
so
base
a
wish
as
to
surviue
him
,
hee
ranne
(
with
his
head
couched
)
on
the
enemy
,
seconded
by
the
Regiments
of
the
Prince
of
Auhalt
,
and
Count
Lowenslein
.
Then
the
fight
became
obstinate
on
both
sides
,
the
Charges
redoubled
,
the
Carkases
piled
up
,
the
Pikes
broken
,
and
the
difference
come
to
bee
decided
by
dint
of
Sword
.
The
eye
of
man
,
nor
that
greater
of
the
World
ever
beheld
a
Ioust
more
furious
.
The
Imperialistes
stroue
to
hold
their
advantage
recover'd
,
and
the
Swedes
to
dispossesse
them
of
it
.
The
Duke
Bernard
did
wonders
that
day
.
Thrice
like
Lightning
shot
hee
through
the
Forces
of
the
Enemie
,
nor
could
a
wound
received
on
the
left
Arme
cause
him
to
leaue
the
field
,
before
hee
had
constrained
the
Enemie
to
abandon
the
Cannon
,
and
his
Post
.
The
winning
of
this
opened
him
the
way
to
the
conquest
of
another
:
For
this
valiant
Prince
pressed
the
Imperialist
so
hard
,
that
hee
againe
disrank'd
them
,
and
compelled
them
to
quit
another
Post
,
guarded
with
thirteene
Cannon
.
His
dexteritie
in
the
drilling
of
his
men
,
in
the
opening
and
shutting
of
his
rankes
was
such
,
that
they
received
little
or
no
hurt
from
the
Enemies
Cannon
.
The
Duke
undaunted
,
pierc'd
through
the
clouds
of
smoke
,
displac'd
the
enemie
,
and
made
himselfe
Master
likewise
of
this
place
,
and
of
the
Cannon
,
and
droue
the
enemie
to
a
confused
Retreat
.
The
slaughter
was
great
,
and
the
Swedes
well
blouded
,
made
good
life
of
their
advantage
,
and
the
disorder
of
their
foes
,
passing
over
their
bellies
,
killing
all
that
came
in
their
way
,
and
stopping
their
eares
against
all
motiues
for
quarter
.
The
Duke
possessed
of
this
place
,
and
Master
of
the
Field
,
betweene
two
and
three
in
the
afternoone
,
thinking
there
was
but
one
Post
to
force
,
seared
by
a
Windmill
,
and
guarded
by
three
Imperiall
Regiments
,
endeavoured
to
remooue
them
,
sending
in
the
meane
time
sundry
Squadrons
to
chase
the
fugitiues
.
But
then
the
fight
grew
more
cruell
then
ever
:
For
Pappenheim
was
returned
from
Hall
,
and
came
upon
the
gallop
with
certaine
fresh
Regiments
.
His
Reputation
,
and
his
concouragement
gaue
new
spirits
to
the
Runawayes
,
and
call'd
them
to
the
combate
.
The
Duke
having
notice
of
this
,
quits
this
place
,
new
ranks
and
encourages
his
men
,
and
giues
Pappenheim
a
meeting
in
the
mid-way
.
All
the
Charges
past
were
nothing
in
respect
of
these
latter
.
Pappenheim
imployed
his
utmost
cunning
and
diligence
,
and
shewed
himselfe
in
all
places
in
the
Head
of
his
Troupes
,
to
embolden
them
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
Duke
Bernard
fixt
a
resolution
either
to
die
,
or
overcome
;
and
the
Swedes
and
Finlanders
enrag'd
for
the
death
of
their
King
,
fought
like
Lions
,
and
desperately
ranne
upon
the
enemy
.
The
Artillery
advanced
,
and
began
to
thunder
,
and
to
enter
divers
Battalions
,
and
to
make
legges
and
Armes
to
flie
from
one
place
to
another
.
The
smaller
shot
was
also
se
violent
,
that
the
Squadrons
encountred
in
the
palpable
darknesse
caused
by
the
smoake
without
knowledge
of
their
parties
.
This
furious
shocke
continned
two
houres
,
with
equall
losse
to
both
,
Victorie
opening
her
armes
to
imbrace
now
one
side
,
then
another
.
Galas
,
Merode
,
and
Holok
were
wounded
to
death
,
and
a
Cannon
shot
cut
off
Pappenheim
by
the
middle
.
His
death
,
and
the
losse
of
divers
other
Commanders
,
stagger'd
the
Imperialistes
,
as
much
as
that
of
the
kings
incensed
the
Swedes
.
Then
the
enemy
(
upon
the
receite
of
a
newe
salute
from
foure
and
twenty
Cannon
,
which
pierc'd
their
thickest
Troupes
)
began
to
flie
,
and
the
Swedes
pressed
and
pursude
them
far
within
night
,
which
favour'd
the
retreat
of
the
fugitiues
,
and
hinder'd
the
Swedes
from
ranging
further
in
the
chase
.
Indeede
they
were
so
tyred
,
that
they
had
neither
breath
,
nor
force
furtherto
follow
them
.
The
Imperiallists
(
giving
fire
to
their
campe
,
and
part
of
their
baggage
,
)
tooke
some
the
way
of
Leipzig
,
others
that
of
Leutmeritz
,
towards
the
Frontiers
of
Bohemia
,
whither
it
was
thought
Walstein
was
gone
,
(
having
heard
of
the
losse
of
the
Battell
)
to
find
a
safe
place
of
retreat
,
and
to
gather
together
his
dispersed
Troupes
.
The
Swedes
remained
in
possession
of
the
Enemies
campe
,
and
most
of
his
Baggage
,
of
one
and
twentie
exquifite
Cannon
,
besides
inseriour
ones
,
and
a
multitude
of
Standards
and
Corners
.
Vpon
the
mustering
of
their
Armie
,
they
found
wanting
,
(
over
and
aboue
the
incomparable
,
and
irreparable
losse
of
their
King
)
the
Major
Generall
Isslet
,
and
other
Coronells
,
and
Officers
.
A
Prince
of
Anhalt
,
a
Count
of
Nilis
,
the
Coronels
Brandestein
,
Wildenstein
,
Relinguen
,
and
Winchell
received
that
day
deepe
and
honourable
wounds
.
The
Duke
Bernhard
of
Weymar
also
was
hurt
,
to
whose
valour
and
conduct
the
Swedian
partie
(
after
God
)
owes
the
glorie
of
that
day
,
more
bloudy
by
far
,
then
that
which
was
sought
the
yeare
past
in
the
neighbouring
fields
of
Leipzig
.
The
Duke
Ernest
of
Weymar
also
infinuated
himselfe
into
the
hearts
of
all
men
by
his
courage
,
and
leading
that
day
.
The
Regiments
of
these
two
Princes
,
and
those
of
the
Prince
of
Anhalt
,
of
the
Count
of
Lewestein
,
of
Coronell
Brandestein
,
and
the
two
Swedish
Coronells
,
surnamed
,
The
Blew
,
and
the
Yellow
,
bore
the
brunt
of
that
day
.
The
Swedes
lost
betweene
fiue
and
sixe
thousand
men
,
and
the
enemie
betweene
ten
and
twelue
thousand
remaining
on
the
place
,
and
two
thirds
of
their
Armie
ruin'd
,
and
dispersed
,
besides
the
death
or
mortall
wounds
of
divers
of
their
remarkable
Commaunders
,
as
Calas
,
Merode
,
Holok
,
Piccolomini'
Isolani
,
and
divers
others
.
Pappenheim
aboue
all
the
rest
was
bewayled
by
his
partie
,
and
not
without
just
cause
;
his
courage
,
his
Conduct
,
his
Vigilancie
,
and
Experience
having
conspired
to
ranke
him
in
the
Souldiers
esteeme
amongst
the
bravest
Generalls
of
these
times
.
But
this
glorious
Victory
of
the
Swedian
Armie
suffered
an
Ecclipse
by
the
death
of
that
truely
great
King
,
who
was
the
soule
of
his
Friends
,
and
the
terrour
and
scourge
of
his
Enemies
.
His
bodie
could
not
bee
found
till
the
next
day
,
when
after
a
curious
search
it
was
discover'd
amidst
the
dead
heapes
rifled
,
and
halfe
naked
,
and
so
disfigur'd
with
bloud
,
and
durt
,
that
hee
could
hardly
bee
knowne
.
This
at
once
so
dolefull
and
glorious
a
spectacle
of
the
end
of
so
great
a
Monarch
,
work'd
so
strongly
,
and
effectually
on
the
hearts
of
his
Souldiers
,
that
with
teares
and
lamentations
for
a
losse
so
irreparable
,
they
made
an
unanimous
Vow
,
upon
the
place
to
revenge
his
death
,
and
make
him
reviue
in
the
rigorous
pursuite
of
his
Designes
,
which
hee
had
so
often
conjur'd
them
to
continue
,
especially
a
little
before
this
Battell
,
when
hee
seem'd
to
presage
his
ende
,
touching
which
hee
discoursed
often
and
seriously
with
many
of
his
familiars
.
Amongst
other
passages
,
the
King
marking
the
multitude
of
people
that
flock'd
about
him
at
his
entry
into
Naumbourg
,
three
dayes
before
the
Battell
,
and
hearing
their
shouts
of
Ioy
,
and
this
generall
acclamation
,
Long
liue
the
King
,
as
if
now
they
had
nothing
to
feare
,
since
hee
was
present
,
hee
made
to
the
standers
by
this
short
but
memorable
speech
:
Our
Affaires
answere
our
desires
,
but
I
doubt
God
will
punish
mee
for
the
folly
of
the
people
who
attribute
too
much
to
mee
,
and
esteeme
mee
as
it
were
their
God
,
and
therefore
hee
will
make
them
shortly
see
I
am
but
a
man
.
Hee
bee
my
witnesse
it
is
a
thing
distastfull
to
mee
.
What
ever
befall
mee
,
I
shall
receiue
it
as
proceeding
from
his
divine
will
:
In
this
onely
I
rest
fully
satisfied
,
that
hee
will
not
leaue
this
great
Enterprise
of
mine
imperfect
.
The
seventeenth
of
November
immediately
following
the
day
of
Battaile
,
and
the
Kings
death
Duke
Bernard
of
Weymar
retir'd
to
Weissenfels
to
take
a
generall
review
of
his
Army
,
and
to
give
rest
,
and
breath
to
his
over
wearyed
Troopes
.
By
the
review
of
his
Regiments
,
it
appeared
that
his
Army
was
be
tweene
fifteene
and
sixteene
thousand
strong
.
The
Duke
imparted
his
present
estate
,
and
all
other
necessary
particulars
to
the
Court
of
Saxon
,
and
urg'd
the
Electour
to
an
uniting
of
their
Forces
,
to
the
end
they
might
follow
close
their
designe
,
and
pursue
Walstein
to
the
remotest
parts
of
Austria
.
After
this
,
all
the
Army
,
as
well
Swedish
as
Germane
,
agreed
in
the
election
of
Duke
Bernard
for
their
Generall
,
and
tooke
a
new
Oath
faithfully
to
serve
him
,
who
had
deserved
so
well
of
the
Swedian
party
by
so
many
benefits
,
by
his
vigilancy
,
his
conduct
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
his
same
in
Warre
:
but
above
all
,
by
his
resolution
,
and
incomparable
valour
,
of
which
he
made
so
oportune
and
cleare
a
demonstration
on
that
bloudy
day
of
Battaile
.
The
Chancellour
Oxesterne
(
who
lay
when
about
Frankfort
)
was
sent
for
in
all
hast
to
manage
the
affaires
of
the
Chancery
Royall
removed
to
Erfurt
;
but
chiefely
,
to
serve
and
counsell
the
desolate
and
disconsolate
Queen
,
environ'd
wih
griefes
and
crosses
inexprimable
,
yet
but
equall
to
the
greatnesse
of
her
losse
.
The
said
Chancellour
,
and
the
Chevalier
Rache
served
happily
to
rectify
sundry
disorders
,
and
to
raise
the
spirits
of
such
as
were
dejected
;
but
principally
,
to
stop
the
floud
of
teares
flowing
from
the
eyes
of
this
most
vertuous
Princesse
,
and
to
replant
in
her
mind
generous
and
masculine
resolutions
.
De
la
Gorde
was
sent
for
in
post
hast
,
who
was
imbarked
in
Swedeland
with
certaine
Regiments
of
Swedes
,
and
Finlanders
,
to
bring
a
supply
to
the
Campe
Royall
,
and
reinforce
it
,
the
dead
King
beeing
anchor'd
in
this
maxime
,
to
make
continuall
levies
,
(
notwithstanding
the
number
of
his
Armies
)
that
so
hee
might
have
men
at
will
to
fill
up
those
empty
Companies
,
which
the
Sword
,
mortallity
,
and
many
other
militarie
miseries
might
unhappily
depopulate
.
But
notwithstanding
the
death
of
this
mighty
Prince
,
the
astonishment
and
fright
of
the
Enemy
was
such
,
that
hee
basely
forsooke
diverse
strong
and
impregnable
places
in
the
Electorate
of
Saxony
.
Amongst
others
the
City
of
Leipzig
was
forsaken
,
and
the
Castle
rased
to
the
ground
,
Chemnits
was
taken
,
Zwickaw
invested
and
forced
,
the
Duke
Bernard
following
close
his
good
fortune
,
and
making
good
use
of
the
Enemies
amazement
.
To
this
hee
was
animated
the
more
,
by
the
fixt
decree
of
the
consederate
Princes
,
to
make
all
fast
,
and
more
and
more
to
knit
a
firme
Vnion
with
the
Swedes
,
that
so
joyntly
,
that
so
both
of
them
joyntly
might
execute
,
and
fulfill
the
intentions
and
exhortations
of
the
deceased
King
.
Walstein
having
notice
betimes
of
his
mens
infortunity
,
and
the
advantage
of
the
Swedes
,
recovered
Leipsig
that
night
,
and
before
day
tooke
the
way
of
Leutmeritz
,
where
hee
recollected
is
disbanded
men
,
and
added
to
them
sixe
fresh
Regiments
that
had
not
beene
engaged
in
the
Battaile
.
After
the
often
sending
of
his
Posts
to
all
parts
,
at
length
Altringer
had
order
from
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
to
joyne
halfe
his
Army
to
that
of
Walstein
.
Notwithstanding
the
somiserable
defeat
of
the
Imperialists
,
bonefires
were
made
in
diverse
parts
of
Bavaria
,
for
the
death
of
the
King
,
and
Te
Deum
chanted
aloude
through
all
the
streets
of
Ingolstatt
,
and
Ratisbone
.
But
these
vaine
fires
,
and
triumphs
seru'd
for
so
many
Trumpets
,
to
sound
forth
the
praise
and
glory
of
the
departed
King
,
since
in
the
Enemies
owne
judgement
his
death
was
thought
sufficient
to
counterpoize
the
dissipation
and
slaughter
of
so
puissant
an
Army
:
And
indeed
,
except
this
accursed
blow
,
there
was
no
one
circumstance
,
that
did
not
oblige
the
Imperiall
partie
to
a
funerall
Equipage
.
Nothing
was
more
to
bee
admired
then
the
moderation
of
the
Court
of
Vienna
,
which
expressed
no
joy
in
triumph
,
or
exultation
.
They
contented
themselves
with
the
discharging
of
a
few
Ordnance
,
to
make
the
silly
people
believe
they
had
the
better
of
the
day
.
Some
judg'd
this
modest
behaviour
to
proceed
from
sensible
losses
,
suffered
in
the
Battaile
,
from
the
consideration
of
the
Swedish
Forces
,
and
the
difficulty
to
set
on
foot
againe
an
Army
of
that
vastnesse
.
Others
deemed
it
to
proceed
from
the
dispersed
rumour
of
the
Emperours
death
,
which
they
thought
countervail'd
that
of
the
King
,
and
cast
the
Imperiall
Court
into
an
irrecoverable
dejection
The
failing
of
the
Saxon
to
appeare
in
the
Field
on
the
day
of
Battaile
,
(
when
his
aide
concerned
his
owne
honour
and
the
Kings
good
)
was
attributed
to
the
like
sad
accident
,
a
rumour
being
divulged
,
not
onely
of
the
Dukes
death
,
but
the
manner
of
it
,
to
wit
,
suddaine
Apoplexie
:
But
these
false
bruits
,
both
of
the
one
and
the
other
,
were
contradicted
by
assuted
newes
that
both
the
Princes
were
living
.
That
the
Saxon
was
not
dead
,
hee
gave
good
proofs
,
resolving
to
take
occasion
by
the
lock
to
revenge
the
ruine
of
his
Cities
,
and
depopulation
of
his
Countrey
,
and
to
hinder
the
Imperialifts
from
sending
into
his
Dominions
any
more
Incendiaries
.
The
continuance
of
the
Emperours
life
was
favourable
to
his
party
;
the
very
name
and
splendour
of
Majesty
being
of
vertue
to
animate
,
and
retaine
diverse
spirits
in
devotion
,
and
obedience
to
the
Austrian
Line
,
which
else
perhaps
might
have
followed
the
Charriot
of
the
victorious
Triumpher
.
But
will'st
the
foolish
people
spread
abroad
,
or
by
designe
,
or
credulity
,
the
death
of
these
two
Princes
,
there
came
too
assured
newes
from
Nayence
of
the
King
of
Bohemia's
death
.
When
this
vnfortunate
Prince
was
ready
to
take
a
new
possession
of
his
Countrey
,
and
the
conditions
drawne
up
betweene
him
,
the
King
of
Sweden
,
and
the
Governour
of
Frankendale
,
hee
was
surprised
in
Nayence
with
a
contagious
disease
,
presently
after
his
returne
from
Deux-ponts
,
where
hee
had
visited
a
Prince
of
his
alliance
.
The
care
and
sufficiency
of
the
Phisitian
was
so
great
,
that
he
quickly
expelled
the
pestilent
quality
,
and
set
him
in
all
appearnace
free
from
danger
;
but
the
great
calamities
through
which
hee
had
passed
,
had
much
estranged
his
Constitution
from
its
first
puritie
,
and
quite
altred
his
colour
,
and
complexion
.
When
he
thought
to
quit
his
tedious
bed
,
and
take
possession
of
Frankendale
,
it
unfortunately
happened
that
the
King
of
Swedens
death
came
to
his
eare
,
which
wrought
so
on
his
mind
,
and
body
,
that
his
disease
was
aggravated
,
and
his
death
ensued
on
the
29.
of
November
.
His
death
was
much
deplored
by
those
of
his
bloud
,
by
his
servants
and
subjects
,
yet
did
their
griefe
receiue
an
allay
by
his
devotion
,
and
his
last
words
full
of
faith
and
pietie
.
The
life
of
this
Prince
was
a
meere
Medley
,
and
like
a
Picture
with
many
faces
.
His
entry
into
the
Electorate
was
glorious
,
his
beginning
happy
,
his
Vertues
eminent
,
and
courted
hee
was
by
the
whole
Empire
.
His
Alliance
,
and
friends
within
and
without
Germany
,
the
consideration
of
his
House
,
of
his
Dominions
,
and
the
great
Bodie
that
depended
on
his
direction
,
were
the
cause
of
his
election
to
the
Crowne
of
Bohemia
,
which
was
fatall
to
him
,
and
all
Germanie
,
which
felt
the
sad
accidents
that
attended
this
Comet
,
and
was
foorthwith
invaded
by
an
universall
Warre
in
her
heart
,
and
all
her
quarters
,
which
hath
never
since
forsooke
her
,
having
engaged
all
the
Imperiall
States
and
Provinces
,
every
one
whereof
to
this
day
carries
her
markes
.
And
though
this
Prince
hath
sought
all
meanes
of
reconciliation
,
hoping
that
way
to
quench
this
Wild-fire
;
yet
hath
hee
from
time
to
time
found
such
fatall
oppositions
,
and
such
an
ingrasted
malice
in
the
incensed
partie
,
that
all
the
motiues
,
propositions
,
and
intercessions
of
great
Kings
haue
hetherto
beene
unprofitable
;
and
this
good
Prince
hath
beene
constrained
to
liue
an
exile
from
his
Countrey
.
At
length
when
a
most
pleasing
prospect
laid
at
once
open
to
his
view
the
frontiers
of
his
Countrey
,
and
the
end
of
his
afflictions
,
a
suddaine
death
deprived
him
of
his
sight
,
and
the
fruition
of
so
delightfull
an
object
.
The
calamitie
of
this
Prince
hath
given
occasion
to
many
licentious
tongues
,
and
pens
to
declaime
against
him
,
and
unjustly
to
judge
of
his
cause
by
the
sad
event
.
Those
that
were
of
his
more
inward
acquaintance
,
avow
that
hee
was
unfortunate
beyond
defect
,
and
that
the
most
magnanimous
,
and
Heroicke
soule
could
beare
afflictions
with
no
greater
moderation
and
patience
,
then
he
did
.
If
many
of
his
vertues
haue
beene
clouded
and
obscured
by
his
infelicity
,
yet
are
there
more
which
his
darker
fortune
could
not
hinder
from
shining
forth
,
and
striking
envie
blind
.
His
great
Family
,
his
Extraction
,
his
Allies
and
Confederates
,
and
his
Princely
vertues
,
me
thinkes
should
haue
contained
within
the
bounds
of
Honour
,
and
truth
,
certaine
Mercenary
,
Satyricke
Spirits
,
who
haue
common
places
of
prayses
,
and
Invectiues
,
which
they
draw
forth
to
exalt
,
or
depresse
whom
they
please
,
and
mainetaine
their
looser
vaine
at
the
cost
of
Princes
,
and
play
upon
their
persons
,
qualities
,
and
estates
,
whom
the
greatnesse
of
their
births
should
priviledge
from
such
contumelies
.
Wee
owe
honour
,
and
respect
to
Princes
of
what
party
soever
;
whether
they
bee
Friends
,
Enemies
,
or
Neuters
:
And
I
thought
this
short
Apologie
due
to
my
so
much
deplored
Subject
,
whom
his
miseries
rendered
to
some
contemptible
,
though
by
others
he
was
truely
honoured
in
the
midst
of
his
disgraces
,
and
afflictions
.
The
King
of
Sweden
gaue
many
braue
testimonies
of
him
,
being
forced
oftentimes
to
giue
him
a
stop
in
the
carreere
of
honour
,
lest
courage
should
engage
him
too
sarre
,
exhorting
him
to
preserue
his
life
,
the
good
of
his
Countrey
,
and
the
publike
cause
.
All
the
comfort
of
his
Subjects
is
contained
in
that
generous
unparalell'd
Princesse
,
and
in
her
faire
line
,
and
numerous
issue
which
promiseth
them
one
day
an
entire
liberty
,
and
the
reestablishment
,
and
subsistence
of
a
house
so
many
wayes
considerable
,
as
being
one
of
the
first
,
and
most
ancient
of
Europe
.
The
Reader
,
I
doubt
not
,
will
pardon
this
digression
of
the
Souldier
,
who
held
himselfe
obliged
to
speake
for
a
Prince
,
who
had
beene
a
long
time
the
common
But
of
all
afflictions
,
and
infultations
.
That
which
hath
made
him
the
more
bold
,
and
earnest
in
his
defence
,
is
the
neare
alliance
of
this
Prince
to
mighty
Monarchs
.
I
shut
up
all
concerning
this
point
in
this
Assertion
,
that
all
Princes
haue
a
common
interest
in
the
honour
of
their
equals
,
and
should
all
joyne
to
place
their
Crownes
,
and
purple
aboue
the
reach
of
Envie
.
The
death
of
these
two
Kings
was
sufficient
to
make
the
Germans
approue
of
the
calculation
,
and
prognosticks
of
their
great
Astrologer
Herlicius
,
who
had
noted
this
Moneth
of
November
,
as
fatall
to
great
Princes
and
Commanders
,
and
foretold
by
the
Aspects
,
and
fiery
constellations
,
the
tragicall
encounters
of
these
two
great
Armies
,
and
the
death
of
such
eminent
persons
,
as
may
well
compose
the
greatest
part
of
the
History
of
our
time
.
The
Swedes
were
even
wedded
to
sorrow
for
the
death
of
their
King
,
vowing
they
would
more
willingly
haue
suffered
the
losse
of
many
battailes
then
that
of
him
,
if
it
had
lyen
in
their
power
to
dispose
of
the
Arrests
of
Heaven
,
and
the
satall
lawes
of
the
eternall
Providence
,
which
with
a
Diamantine
poynt
markes
all
things
,
and
giues
them
a
Character
,
which
never
can
bee
changed
,
or
defaced
.
Indeed
all
the
dayes
of
this
Moneth
of
November
,
were
at
strife
for
Superioritie
in
evill
,
but
the
sixteenth
overcame
,
to
which
all
stories
shall
giue
a
brand
,
in
that
it
gaue
so
strange
an
alteration
to
the
face
of
Christendome
.
The
battaile
sought
on
that
day
is
enobled
by
many
memorable
accidents
,
which
exalts
it
aboue
those
of
former
Ages
.
Amongst
others
are
remarkeable
the
small
number
of
the
victors
,
and
the
multitude
of
the
vanquist
,
the
violent
and
surious
charges
,
the
durance
of
the
fight
,
the
doubtfull
event
of
the
combat
,
when
victory
(
as
if
the
had
beene
the
daughter
of
Ianus
)
had
two
faces
,
and
looked
two
waies
;
the
piles
of
the
dead
,
the
losse
of
eminent
Commanders
,
and
the
different
effect
which
one
and
the
same
cause
wrought
in
both
parties
,
the
Kings
death
kindling
indignation
and
desire
of
revenge
in
the
bosome
of
the
Swede
,
and
the
death
of
Pappenheins
,
and
other
great
Commanders
,
begetting
an
astonishment
in
the
hearts
,
and
lookes
of
the
Imperialists
.
And
wee
may
well
affirme
,
that
amongst
all
the
Accidents
of
that
saddest
of
daies
,
this
particular
hath
bin
most
remarkable
;
that
the
Swedes
having
lost
their
King
in
the
first
shocke
,
this
unparaleld
mischance
,
served
rather
to
confirme
,
then
shake
their
courage
,
and
was
one
of
the
most
apparant
causes
of
the
victory
.
This
also
raised
as
high
as
Heaven
the
Kings
renowne
,
that
in
his
fall
hee
crusht
in
pieces
so
vast
a
body
,
and
the
hearts
of
his
men
were
so
inflamed
with
this
his
disaster
,
that
after
his
death
they
made
the
palme
and
the
Lawrell
to
spring
out
of
his
blood
.
Nor
was
the
life
of
this
Prince
lesse
famous
then
his
death
.
His
youth
was
exercised
in
great
affaires
,
which
hardened
his
body
to
endure
travell
,
and
armed
his
mind
against
all
finister
accidents
,
and
infus'd
into
him
a
courage
which
might
easily
bee
provoked
,
never
subdued
.
The
entrie
of
his
Raigne
(
which
was
the
Eleventh
of
this
age
,
and
the
Seventeenth
of
his
)
was
thorny
,
and
sallebrous
.
At
one
,
and
the
same
time
hee
was
confronted
by
the
Danes
,
the
Polonians
,
and
the
Muscovites
,
who
on
all
sides
assaulted
him
:
And
though
their
motives
to
warre
were
diverse
,
yet
all
their
intentions
,
like
so
many
lines
met
in
this
Center
,
to
ruine
the
Swede
.
Sometimes
hee
shewed
himselfe
on
the
Frontiers
of
Denmarke
,
sometimes
on
those
of
Muscovia
,
somtimes
againe
on
those
of
Livonia
,
and
all
with
that
promptnesse
and
celerity
,
that
his
Enemies
believed
his
body
to
bee
ubiquitary
.
And
his
troubles
were
increased
by
corruption
of
many
of
his
Subjects
to
a
base
revolt
.
But
his
valour
,
his
dexterity
,
and
the
continuall
travaile
of
his
body
and
mind
were
such
,
that
hee
passed
through
these
,
and
greater
impediments
without
stop
,
or
diminution
of
his
Fame
.
His
composition
with
the
Danes
,
and
Muscovites
was
honourable
,
and
to
his
advantage
.
The
quarrell
betweene
him
and
the
Polonian
was
not
about
any
small
petty
Territorie
;
but
the
Crowne
and
Scepter
it selfe
,
and
therefore
hardly
to
be
decided
.
The
Prowesse
and
agility
of
this
King
were
such
,
that
the
Polonians
saw
him
in
all
parts
,
like
another
Hanniball
,
before
their
gates
;
and
after
many
great
losses
received
in
Livonia
,
and
Prussia
,
they
tooke
counsell
of
the
Pillow
,
and
(
to
preserve
the
remainder
of
those
Countries
unviolated
)
concluded
to
come
to
a
treatry
,
on
which
attended
a
Truce
,
which
from
their
soules
they
wish'd
had
beene
a
Peace
,
whereby
their
repose
might
bee
eternized
.
Our
youthfull
Mars
had
not
a
soule
so
narrow
,
as
to
bee
contented
to
weare
onely
the
Lawrell
of
the
North.
More
wreathes
were
prepared
for
him
,
and
a
Theater
more
spacious
,
and
glorious
.
Posterity
will
hardly
beleeve
that
what
this
Prince
hath
done
was
by
a
man
fesible
.
That
the
conquest
of
so
many
vast
Provinces
,
and
the
ruine
of
so
many
Armies
was
the
worke
onely
of
two
yeares
,
and
a
few
moneths
.
That
a
puissant
Empire
,
formidable
in
her
greatnesse
,
in
her
supports
,
in
her
extension
,
in
her
Armies
,
in
her
conquests
,
and
successe
,
fortifyed
with
so
many
Garrisons
,
who
hath
for
her
bounds
the
Ocean
,
and
the
Alps
,
should
in
so
short
a
time
be
forc'd
to
put
on
the
yoak
.
A
man
would
think
infinite
Forces
were
required
to
manage
well
an
Enterprise
of
this
nature
,
and
greatnesse
.
The
personall
qualities
of
this
Prince
were
admirable
.
His
externall
bravery
consisted
in
a
sweet
yet
majesticall
aspect
,
in
a
comely
stature
,
in
a
piercing
eye
,
in
a
commanding
voyce
,
in
an
agility
,
and
universall
application
to
all
such
as
might
hinder
or
further
him
.
But
the
great
guests
that
lodg'd
within
were
farre
more
illustrious
,
a
quicke
spirit
,
a
sollid
judgement
,
an
incomparable
wisedome
,
an
inexprimable
courage
,
an
indefatigable
nature
,
and
an
admirable
conduct
,
which
were
the
happy
instruments
of
all
his
victories
,
and
the
embellishment
of
this
rare
piece
.
I
may
justly
adde
his
Encampments
,
his
Discipline
,
his
foresight
,
his
direction
,
and
unequall'd
Industrie
.
Nor
was
his
readinesse
lesse
in
the
disposition
of
his
affaires
,
in
the
governement
of
his
men
,
and
his
complying
with
their
severall
humours
,
which
made
him
as
well
Lord
of
hearts
,
as
Provinces
and
Cities
.
But
above
all
the
rest
,
his
devotion
was
conspicuous
,
and
his
frequent
pious
exercises
,
which
received
no
interruption
by
his
most
serious
imployments
.
And
(
which
draweth
neere
to
a
miracle
)
hee
himselfe
projected
and
executed
all
things
.
It
suffised
not
him
to
bee
onely
a
Generall
,
but
hee
would
also
bee
a
Captaine
,
and
Engenier
,
a
Serjeant
,
a
Cannonier
,
a
common
Souldier
,
or
of
any
Militarie
calling
.
The
most
dangerous
occurrences
dazled
not
his
judgement
,
but
then
was
he
most
venturous
when
his
valour
was
most
required
.
Hee
never
formed
a
military
project
,
in
the
execution
whereof
hee
would
not
himselfe
make
one
.
And
(
which
bred
in
all
an
amazement
)
hee
was
never
weary
,
though
ever
busied
,
as
if
action
had
been
his
nourishment
.
I
will
close
up
the
Pannegyricke
of
this
Worthy
with
this
affirmation
,
that
in
him
all
imaginable
brave
parts
conspired
to
make
him
the
greatest
,
and
most
able
Captaine
of
Christendome
.
There
was
nothing
in
him
the
least
way
blameable
but
his
choller
,
to
which
the
least
provocation
gave
fire
:
an
humour
familiar
to
fiery
spirits
chafed
with
continuall
businesse
,
which
often
falls
out
crosse
.
But
hee
had
a
corrective
ever
ready
,
which
was
an
overflowing
courtesy
,
and
sweetnesse
to
him
naturall
,
which
stopp'd
and
repair'd
the
breach
his
Anger
had
made
.
For
any
hasty
speech
he
would
give
satisfaction
,
not
onely
to
men
of
eminency
,
who
might
justly
be
offended
,
but
to
those
also
of
the
meanest
condition
,
borne
to
suffer
.
In
acknowledgement
of
his
nature
so
apt
to
take
fire
at
the
least
distast
,
he
would
often
say
;
That
hee
was
willing
oftentimes
to
beare
with
others
infirmities
,
as
the
flegme
of
some
,
and
the
wine
of
others
,
and
that
therefore
reciprocally
his
choller
deserved
some
support
.
And
,
to
say
truth
;
this
passion
may
challenge
,
and
winne
connivence
from
him
who
shall
duely
consider
his
working
spirit
,
never
weakned
,
though
ever
bended
;
as
also
his
extraordinary
vertues
,
and
his
gentlenesse
,
which
,
upon
occasion
,
made
him
familiar
with
the
meanest
of
his
souldiers
,
so
farre
was
hee
from
being
pufft
up
with
prosperity
,
or
raysing
his
mind
with
his
fortune
.
Some
note
another
oversight
in
this
Prince
,
that
he
did
not
better
distinguish
betweene
the
dueties
of
a
Carabin
,
and
a
Generall
,
but
exposed
himselfe
to
all
dangers
,
and
was
too
prodigall
of
a
bloud
so
precious
.
To
confesse
the
truth
,
it
is
not
so
much
to
bee
wondred
at
,
that
he
lost
his
life
in
this
famous
Battail
,
as
that
he
parted
not
with
it
long
before
in
so
many
Encounters
,
where
his
life
ranne
the
same
hazard
with
the
basest
of
his
souldiers
.
And
in
his
defence
this
may
worthily
bee
annexed
,
that
the
valour
of
his
men
depended
on
his
example
,
and
all
his
victories
had
for
their
originall
his
presence
,
and
forwardnesse
in
all
Battailes
,
which
like
a
heavenly
aspect
sent
downe
influences
,
and
irradiations
into
the
spirits
of
his
souldiers
,
and
terrour
and
amazement
into
those
of
his
Enemies
.
The
Souldier
hath
attempted
to
draw
this
Prince
to
the
life
,
and
assures
himself
,
that
they
who
have
had
the
honour
to
see
,
and
serve
him
in
his
wars
,
wil
confesse
that
the
portraict
hath
some
aire
of
his
face
,
if
not
drawne
to
the
life
.
And
hee
beleeves
withall
,
that
they
who
have
felt
the
puissance
of
his
Armes
will
be
the
first
to
extoll
and
magnify
his
worth
,
that
thereby
they
may
lessen
their
owne
losses
,
justify
their
disgraces
,
and
shew
to
the
world
that
so
powerfull
an
Organ
was
required
to
operate
on
them
with
such
successe
.
Amongst
other
circumstances
,
this
is
the
most
agreeable
,
and
worthy
of
observation
,
that
this
Prince
hath
left
his
affaires
in
an
estate
so
prosperous
,
and
advantagious
.
The
Swedian
party
is
possessed
of
two
thirds
of
Germany
,
of
the
best
Cities
,
of
most
of
the
Rivers
from
the
Vistule
to
the
Danube
,
and
Rheine
.
It
hath
also
ten
Armies
dispersed
through
the
higher
and
lower
Saxonies
,
Silesia
,
Moravia
,
Bavaria
,
Franconia
,
Suabe
,
Alsatia
,
and
the
Circle
of
the
Rhein
.
This
party
is
also
back'd
,
and
countenanc'd
within
by
the
principall
Forces
of
the
Empire
,
and
without
by
great
Kings
and
States
,
who
thinke
themselves
interested
in
the
support
of
it
,
and
preferre
sure
friends
before
doubtfull
and
wavering
,
who
will
eternally
remember
the
least
losse
,
or
affront
received
,
and
,
opportunity
serving
,
bee
ready
to
revenge
it
.
To
this
may
be
adjoyned
the
experience
of
the
times
past
,
which
demonstrates
unto
us
how
well
in
the
Mantuan
warre
they
requited
the
benefits
received
from
that
house
at
a
dead
lift
,
which
serves
for
an
infallible
argument
of
their
dealings
.
It
now
remaines
that
the
Princes
,
and
States
united
continue
to
make
good
the
advantages
bequeath'd
them
,
by
banishing
all
jealousies
,
suppressing
of
factions
,
extirpating
of
Schismes
,
and
partiallities
,
deciding
of
all
disputes
arising
from
their
Genealogies
,
by
conferring
offices
on
men
,
not
of
great
discent
,
but
ability
,
by
making
use
of
the
times
present
and
past
,
by
quickly
seconding
their
consultation
with
action
,
and
by
a
straight
conjunction
of
their
Councells
,
and
Forces
to
seeke
their
owne
preservation
in
that
of
the
Empire
.
In
any
of
which
being
wanting
,
neither
the
care
and
paines
of
the
deceased
King
,
nor
their
owne
Armies
,
or
advantages
can
secure
them
from
being
a
miserable
prey
to
their
Enemies
,
and
wretched
spectacle
to
their
friends
.
The
truth
is
,
hitherto
the
Princes
and
Generalls
united
have
much
abated
the
pride
of
the
Enemy
,
by
deceiving
his
hopes
,
and
apprehensions
,
and
making
it
evident
by
their
proceedings
that
they
were
not
in
vain
so
long
train'd
up
in
the
Kings
schoole
,
but
were
still
mindfull
of
his
instructions
and
discipline
,
and
that
his
death
did
but
concenterre
,
and
redouble
their
vigour
.
The
Dukes
of
Weymar
tread
on
Walsteins
heeles
,
whom
some
report
to
bee
wounded
,
others
dead
in
the
Forrest
which
lyes
betweene
Fravestein
and
Klostergrappe
.
If
he
be
deceased
,
he
serves
as
another
sacrifice
due
to
the
Kings
tombe
.
Tubal
keeps
the
greatest
part
of
Silesia
,
and
Moravia
in
obedience
.
The
Prince
of
Birkenfield
shuts
up
all
passages
to
the
Bavarians
,
within
the
circle
of
Ingolstat
and
Ratisbone
.
Horne
is
Master
of
Alsatia
,
and
hath
joyned
to
it
the
Conquest
of
Schletstatt
.
Colman
and
Kentzingen
have
Senfeld
,
nothing
remaining
in
those
parts
unconquer'd
,
but
Frebourg
which
they
batter
,
and
Brissack
which
they
play
with
.
Baudisin
marcheth
through
the
Archbishopricke
of
Cullen
without
resistance
,
and
traverseth
his
Galleries
(
maugre
the
Count
of
Gransfield
)
from
the
river
of
Wesper
even
to
the
gates
of
Cullen
.
The
Troopes
of
Wirtenberg
advance
towards
the
Lake
of
Constance
,
and
are
resolved
to
make
good
proofe
of
their
courage
.
To
be
briefe
,
the
Swedes
shew
that
they
have
no
great
desire
to
repasse
the
Sea
,
no
more
then
have
the
Germans
to
refall
into
their
wonted
slavery
.
But
though
the
King
of
Sweden
hath
left
his
partie
in
an
Estate
prosperous
,
yet
wee
must
needs
confesse
,
that
the
enemie
deriues
from
his
death
great
Advantages
,
and
that
the
expense
of
a
little
Lead
hath
profited
him
as
much
as
the
gaining
of
many
millions
,
in
that
the
severall
Heads
of
the
Swedish
Armies
are
subject
and
prone
to
jealousies
and
misconceptions
,
which
giues
him
meanes
and
opportunitie
to
preserue
what
hee
yet
holds
,
to
calme
seditions
,
to
recall
long-banisht
peace
,
and
once
more
to
replant
her
in
the
Empire
.
If
hee
make
good
use
of
his
losses
and
imfortunities
,
wee
shall
see
him
foorthwith
to
abandon
all
counsells
tending
to
blood
,
or
violence
,
to
haue
a
care
,
left
by
the
oppression
of
Princes
he
make
them
desperate
,
to
recall
his
strayed
Subjects
by
a
generall
Pardon
of
all
their
offences
,
and
seeke
to
raigne
by
Loue
,
not
Feare
.
Hee
will
then
no
more
violate
Peace
,
and
the
publique
Faith
,
under
the
pretext
of
Conscience
,
which
ought
to
be
perswaded
,
not
forced
,
as
depending
on
another
Tribunall
then
that
of
men
.
This
way
to
rest
and
quiet
,
he
is
invited
also
to
take
and
persist
in
,
because
he
may
now
peaceably
enjoy
all
his
due
rights
and
Titles
,
the
death
of
the
King
having
cur'd
him
of
the
deadly
Feare
hee
was
in
,
lest
this
magnanimous
Prince
should
yet
fore
higher
,
and
aspire
to
new
Diadems
,
and
make
good
his
Anagram
,
by
changing
the
name
of
Gustavus
into
Augustus
.
