there

not

made

to
get
them
off
,
which
made
vs
imagine
he
would
haue
returned
back
againe
to

But
at
length
he
passed
the
ma●e
by
Mu●ker
,
and
made
as
though
he
marched
away
,
and
had
nothing
to
say
to

but
bethinking
himselfe
wel
,
stole
backe
in

till
more

Count

hauing

Count

caused

that

Then

The
Enemy
after
they
had
●howne
themselues
before
Arnham
vpon

hills
,
and
made
some
incursions
into
the

they
tooke
in

betweene
Do●sbarow

on
the
valow
side
by
Spankeron
,
which
a
seriant
with
small
reputation
vpon
the
first
summons
gaue
ouer
.
The
Enemy
finding
this
pla●e
more
Con●●nient
remoued
his
●ridge
and
quarter
from
Iselor●
&
came
thither
,
because
it
was
a
higher
ground
,
and
better
for
his
Army
to
lodge
in
,
and
there
layd
ouer
his
bridge

droue
in
piles
of

secure

from
breaking

made

And

mar●h●●
thorow
the

to
A●●reford
,
and
those
of
the
Towne
after
a
Cannon
sho●t
or
two
from
the
gallowe●
hill
giues
it
o●er
vnworthily
,
whereas
if
they
had
held
it
but
two

three
dayes
〈◊〉
the
Pence
had
s●●t
to
them
,
or
I
hang●r
had
●●de
the
enemy
to
forsake

they
had
done
better

gayned
more
repu●ation

Amerchard
now
being
taken

there
was
likewise
a

in
Vtrecht

〈◊〉
of
the

of
s●me
of
their
chiefe
men
and
Burgers
.
The
Papists
began
in
diuers
places
to
put
vp
their
heads
and
expected
a
day
.
The
Lords
the
States
generall
themselues
to
giue
encouragement
to
those
of
Vtrecht
in
this
perplexed
time
,
and
to
preuent
further
disorders
,
were
fayne
to
remoue
their
councill
from
the
Hagh
to
Vtrecht

And
General
Morgan
in
this
distresse

came
happily
out
of
Denmarke
,
&
put
in
forces
into
Campen
,
Swoll
,
Deuenter
and
Zutphen
▪
The
states
began
to
fortifie
Vtrecht
,
and
ran
a
trench
along
the
riuer
side
that
goes
from
Vtrecht
to
the
Fare
.
To
be
short
,
the
Enemy
being
master
of
Amersford
many
mens
hearts
began
to
faile
them
,
and
they
hung
downe
their
heads
like
bulrushes
,
you
may
likewise
imagine
,
what
heauy
newes
this
was
in
our
Army
,
and
how
bobbard
the
papists
grew
herevpon
,
witnes
two
,
y●
one
who
had
giuen
out
,
that
his
Excel

was
risen
from

That
the

had
beaten

the
Lord

and
had
releiued
ye●owne

for
which
report
,
he
might
very
well
haue
had
his
braine●
knockt
out
,
and
his
house
plundred
by
the
popularity
if
th●
magistrates
had
not
wisely
preuented
it
.
The
other
after
his
geering
maner
said
to
some
of
our
Religion
.
Oh
hee

zynnude
Geux

His
Excel

was
much
importuned
by
some
to
raise
his
siege
,
to
hinder
the
Enemies
further
incursions
into
the
heart
of
their
country
,
which
he
would
by
noe
meanes
heare
off
:
notwithstanding
cald
a
coancill
of
warre
vpon
it
,
and
tooke
the
advise
of
his

Coronells

His
Excel-knowing
fullwell
what
an
infinite
charge
this
siege
had
cost
the
land
,
&
that
his
honour
,

all
ours
lay
at
the
stake
vpon

and
so
resolued
to
continew
his
siege
,
and
to
rest
vpon
the
prouidence
of
God
for
the
Euene

Whiles
the

was
thus
a

plundring

rauaging
the
velow
&
had
intended
another

his
nostrill
,
and
fetches
him
back
with
a
whirre
.
The
Emperours
men
&
Crawats
,
who
had
left
their
goods
&
riches
in
Wesell
,
sweares
by
e●n
hondert
duysent
tonnen
van
gettapte
duyvelen
&
thought
the
there
had
bene
iugling
betwene
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
&
Count
Harry
his
Cossin
.
The
post
which
brought
the
first
newes
of
it
to
them
,
was
beaten
,
and
threatned
to
be
hanged
for
his
labour
.
And
they
made
as
much
hast
as
they
could
to
be
iogging
from
Amersford
.
The
newes
comming
to
our
army
it
was
so
strange
that
the
Prince
himselfe
scarcely
beleeued
it
,
but
at
last
breakes
out
into
admiration
,
as
it
was
reported
,
&
said
,
if
it
be
so
,
it
was
meerely
the
worke
of
God
,
and
not
mans
.
And
to
vs
it
was
as
a
dreame
,
we
could
hardly
giue
credit
vnto
it
,
till
it
was
thorowly
seconded
,
and
confirmed
.
If
it
please
you
I
wil
relate
vnto
you
,
how
,
&
in
what
manner
it
was
surprised
.
First
,
as
a
preamble
therevnto
yee
haue
heard
,
how
that
the
Enemy
against
oath
,
&
promise
had
shut
vp
th●
greate
Church
in
Wesel
,
against
those
of
our
religion
,
and
for
●ooth
to
coulor
this
as
comonly
they
doe
,
they
gaue
the
child
another
name
:
it
was
●he
Emperours
doings
●verif
they
would
pay
a
round
summe
of
mony
,
they
would
open
the
church
doores
,
and
they
should
haue
the
liberty
of
their
conscience
and
free
excercise
of
their
religion
againe
.
This
was
onely
a
trick
to
exhaust
mony
from
them
,
for
they
vse
to
keepe
faith
no
longer
with
Hereticks
,
then
till
they
find
their
advantages
,
according
to
the
maxime
of
the
Councill
of
Trent
.
But
the
righteous
God
,
who
is
the
reuenger
of
such
persidiousnesse
:
as
he
heard
the
sighs
and
gro●ines
of
the
children
of
Israel
,
vnder
the
Tyranny
of
Pharaoh
:
so
heard
hee
also
the
Sobbs
&
prayers
of
his
afflicted
seruants
in
this
Towne
,
and
sent
them
a
sudden
deliuerance
in
an
vnexpected
time
,
by
the
helpe
of
two
or
three
weake
instruments
(
for
hee
can
helpe
with
a
few
as
well
as
with
a
multitude
)
from
the
spanish
yoake
,
who
had
bereft
them
of
their
spirituall
Manna
.
To
this
end
a
speciall
occasion
then
presented
it selfe
by
reason
of
a
new
Bulwarke
which
was
a
making
on
the
East
side
of
the
Towne
,
and
lay
open
,
&
was
onely
shut
in
with
a
palisadoe
which
might
easily
be
beasen
downe
,
as
the
Euent
hereafter
shewed
.
The
vndertakers
of
this
enterprise
were
Peeter
Mulder
,
Richard
Mulder
his
brother
,
and
Iohn
Rotleer
,
all
three
Burgers
of
Wesell
,
men
of
a
meane
Condition
,
but
of
a
good
spirit
and
resolution
,
to
performe
that
which
they
had
vndertaken
.
This
Peeter
Mulder
diuers
times
faining
to
learne
to
swim●
,
had
pild
the
depth
of
the
moate
on
that
side
,
and
spying
out
all
ope●tunities
made
a
great
Iron
hammer
,
to
beate
downe
the
aboue
said
palisado
.
The
time
and
place
then
beeing
dessigned
on
the
18th
of
August
1629
,
hee
went
out
of
Wesell
at
one
port
some
three
dowres
before
the
shutting
of
the
gates
,
and
an
Foure
after
his
brother
followed
him
and
went
out
at
another
●ort
and
Iohn
Rotle●r
a
little
before
the
shutting
of
the
ports
went
out
as
a
third
port
,
least
any
thing

be
discouer●d
,

to
bring
them

to

of

our
men
and
the
enemie
giuing
fire
brauely
one
at

a
good
while
,
but
our
men
lying
opento
the
bulwarke
of
the
little
Sconce
,
and
their
other
traverse
,
were
faine
to
retreate
againe
into
the
mouth
of
our
Gallerie
.
This
mine
tooke
not
wel
,
but
sprang
rather
backward
then
forward
,
and
did
more
hurt
to
our
owne
men
then
to
the
enemies
,
casting
a
greate
deale
of
earth
vpon
Sr
Iacob
Ashly
cinging
him
and
brusing
him
,
very
shroudly
vpon
his

As
likewise
Monsieur

his

Inginer
,
broke
his
legge
,
and
buryed
some
of
our
souldiers
vnder
the
Earth
which
was
blowne
vp
,
and
so
came
off
with
the
losse
of
some
men
.
yet
from
this
earth
which
was
cast
vp
out
of
the
enemies
trauerse
,
wee
began
to
sap
forward
which
the
enemy
seeing
at
last
they
quitted
it
,
and
so
wee
b●came
masters
of
it
,
and
getting
a
litle
more
elbowe
roome
,
wee
aduanced
forward
to
the
moate
of
the
litle
sconce
,
making
gardes
batteries
and
blindes
,
till
we
came
to
the
very
brinke
of
it
,
where
we
began
to
put
ouer
our
second
gallerie
towards
the
point
of
the
Bulwarke
on
the
left
hand
of
the
sconce
,
hauing
then
made
three
or
foure
batteries
for
the
safegarde
of
our
men
and
gallerie
,
wee
battered
the
point
of
the
Bulwarke
●o
,
where
our
gallerie
was
a
putting
ouer
,
that
wee
made
it
almost
mountable
.
And
now
and
then
casting
some
granadoes
into
the
sconces
,
that
we
made
their
hutts
,
sparrs
,
and
dust
,
flie
about
their
eares
.
Vpon
the
8
of
Iuly
in
the
night
the
enemy
Salli●d
out
of
the
great
Sconce
,
vpon
the
French

but
were
soone
b●●ten
in

and
a
Lieutenant

which
commanded
was
taken
prisoner
,
and
a
Gent.
of
quality
,
and
some
30

slaine
and

The
next
day
being
the
ninth
of
Iuly
,
Mons.
Chartil●us●ōpany
company
hauing
the
gard
in
the
french
aproaches
,
fell
vppon
the
horn-worke
without
the
great
Sconce
,
but
the
enemy
not
disputing
it
long
quitted
it
,
and
retired
to
their
Counterscarfe
where
on
the
right
hand
,
they
cut
it
of
,
&
made
a
smal
trave●se
in
it
,
whence
they
gaue
fire
with
their
musketiers
and
firelocks
vpon
them
,
but
the
f●ench
hauing
put
their
gallerie
ouer
the
moate
of
the
count●rscarfe
they
came
to
the
m●ate
of
the
great
sconce
,
where
they
put
ouer
their
second
gallerie
,
into
〈◊〉
false
braye
,
on
the
left
hand
of
their
gallery
the
enemie
b●●
cut
of
their
false
bray
▪
to
hinder
the
workmen
,
and
miners
by
giuing
fire
from
a
small
traverse
,
vpon
them
.
On
the
17th
of
Iuly
about
t●n
of
the
clock
the
brush
and
●agotts
,
were
layd
from
the
end
of
our
second
gallery
,
o●●er
the
moate
of
the
litle
Sconce
.
And
the
french
did
the
like
ouer
the
moate
of
the
great
Sconce
.
Our
souldiers
puld
downe
●he
pallissadoes
vnder
the
foote
of
the
Bulwarke
of
the
litle
Sconce
,
and
the
same
night
began
to
make
a
mine
into
The
Bulwarke
.
The
french
that
night
before
the
Lord
of
Diedens
Regiment
relieued
them
,
had
about
with
the
enemie
vpon
the
smal
trauerse
,
which
they
had
cut
off
in
their
false-braye
before
they
drew
off
,
and
being
relieued
,
the
18th
of
Iuly
about
three
of
the
clock
in
the
morning
the
enemie
quitted
their
great
Sconce
,
out
of
feare
of
being
cut
off
,
because
wee
were
gott
ouer
the
moate
of
the
litle
Sconce
,
and
began
to
mi●e
into
the
Bulwarke
thereof
,
leauing
wine
,
victuals
,
beare
,
a
boy
and
a
dog
behind
them
.
The
next
night
then
being
the
19th
Coronel
Harewood
commanding
,
the
enemie
likewise
quitted
not
only
the
little
Sconce
,
but
also
a
trauerse
out
of
the
moate
of
the
great
sconce
next
the
towne
,
which
they
mought
very
wel
haue
disputed
,
and
thus
the
Great
and
litle
Sconces
,
with
the
travers
were
taken
in
,
vpon
the
points
whereof
,
his
Excellencie
with
all
expedition
caused
batteries
to
be
made
,
which
playd
into
the
●owne
,
vpon
the
Tenaille
,
Vuchterport
,
and
the
halfe
moone
without
it
.
From
this
traverse
on
the
other
side
of
the
moate
o●
the
little
Sconce
,
wee
began
a
new
Sap
towardes
another
Traverse
which
they
had
vpon
th●
dike
betweene
that
and
th●
Tenaile
but
th●
enemy
seeing
wee
approached
ne●re
vnto
it
,
quitted
it
,
and
retreated
to
the
Tenaile
it selfe
.
my
Lord
General
Ve●es
company
of
Schoonhouen
with
the
rest
of
the
companye●
which
had
the
gard
with
them
,
hauing
sapt
to
the
moate
of
the
Tenaile
,
entertained
a
fight
with
the
enemie
a
litle
before
they
were
relieued
,
and
gaue
fire
brauely
vpon
the
Tenaile
,
while
two
floate
bridges
were
layd
ouer
vnto
it
&
some
musket
basket●
set
vp
,
&
that
they
began
a
mine
in
the
Tenaille
.
Our
miners
found
much
dificultie
in
making
this
mine
,
because
the
foundation
therof
was
layd
with
willow
Trees
,
and
rootes
,
Acrosse
one
another
,
howsoeuer
they
puld
out
some
of
the
tree●
and
made
a
mine
into
it
.
That
night
the
French
relieued
the
English
,
(
For
the
Sconces
being
ours
wee
then
ran
one
line
,
&
euery
nation
relieued
one
another
)
and
the
next
day
the
mine
being
ready
,
the
pouder
chamberd
,
and
the
traine
layd
to
it
:
the
French
to
wit
,
mo'ns
.
Chattillo●es
company
,
and
the
rest
hauing
there
the
gard
,
for
their
honour
would
fall
on
,
to
see
if
they
could
take
in
the
Tenaile
,
and
beate
the
enemy
out
of
it
,
wel
then
about
eleuen
of
the
clocke
the
mine
being
sprung
the
French
Captaines
,
voluntiers
&
diuers
other
Gentlemen
of
great
quality
,
(
though
the
mine
made
no
great
entrance
,
fell
on
valliantly
,
but
the
enemie
hauing
drawne
some
men
out
of
the
Towne
maintayned
it
s●outly
,
and
finding
no
meanes
to
e●ter
i●
,
were
driuen
to
retreat
back
againe
,
into
our
workes
,
with
the
losse
of
some
30
voluntiers
Gent.
and
souldiers
slaine
and
hurt
,
and
so
the
enemie
maintayned
still
their
Tenaile
.
The
last
day
that
the
french
had
the
gard
,
The
Duke
of
Candale
commanding
,
the
french
desirous
of
a
reuenge
,
had
a
second
bout
with
them
,
a
little
before
they
were
relieued
to
see
if
they
could
carry
the
Tenaile
.
Towardes
euening
then
another
mine
being
made
and
sprung
,
they
fell
on
againe
,
&
came
to
the
push
of
the
pike
vpon
the
right
Corner
of
it
,
and
set
vp
some
musket
baskets
,
the
enemy
layd
about
them
,
&
thrasht
●●me
of
them
with
yron
flailes
,
and
maintayne●
it
stifly
.
They
gaue
fire
brauely
one
vpon
another
a
good
while
;
for
the
space
o●
hal●e
an
houre
,
but
at
last
the
French
were
faine
to
fall
off
againe
,
onely
this
aduantage
was
gotten
during
the
fight
,
that
they
turn'd
vp
the
Earth
so
vpon
the
right
corner
of
it
,
that
they
lodg●d
two
or
three
musketiers
almost
in
the
top
of
it
,
from
wh●nce
a
sapp
afterwards
was
begun
,
to
see
if
wee
could
cut
o●
the
left
corner
,
&
so
become
masters
of
the
Tenaile
.
The
French
that
night
being
relieued
by
the
walloens
and
sapping
forward
from
the
corner
aboue
sayd
,
the
enemy
marking
it
,
quitted
that
night
their
Tenaile
to
the
walloens
and
retreated
to
their
halfe
moone
.
vpon
the
Tenaile
his
Excell
.
made
a
great
battery
of
nine
halfe
cannon
,
which
beate
vpon
both
the
bulwarkes
,
the
port
,
and
their
halfe
moone
,
without
it
.
About
this
time
a
riuer
which
runs
from
the
Busse
to
Crevicoeur
and
so
into
the
maze
was
stopt
with
a
dame
ouer
it
,
that
noe
water
should
come
out
of
the
maze
,
when
it
was
high
,
too
seede
the
morrace
,
and
the
moate
of
the
towne
.
And
heate
his
Excel
.
by
an
admirable
Stratagem
,
caused
34
mathematicall
mills
to
bee
set
vpon
the
browe
of
this
riuer
drawne
with
horses
,
which
drew
vp
abundance
of
water
from
belowe
,
sucking
it
vp
with
funnells
and
casting
it
vp
dismist
it selfe
vpon
the
mills
which
cast
out
abundance
of
water
when
the
winde
blew
stiffe
and
thus
the
water
by
these
mills
was
drayned
out
of
the
dround
land
and
the
moate
,
by
certaine
ditches
and
convayances
to
them
.
On
the
tenth
of
August
Grubbindunck
in
the
night
,
sent
out
two
souldiers
with
leters
from
himselfe
,
&
others
in
the
towne
to
the
Infanta
and
their
freinds
at
Brussells
each
of
them
hauing
a
paire
of
doues
,
which
should
be
cast
vp
,
and
flye
into
the
towne
with
her
answeres
back
againe
,
with
expresse
order
from
the
Gouernour
of

Schouts
,
and
Burgomasters
of
the
villages
in
Brabant
,
to
furnish
them
with
horse
and
Convoy
to
Brussells
,
but
their
harts
failyng
them
and
fearing
to
be
taken
by
our
men
,
in
passing
the
line
and
watches
,
the
one
Souldier
being
more
wil●●ng
then
the
o●her
drew
out
his
knife
and
threatned
to
cut
the
others
throte
,
if
he
would
not
goe
along
with
him
to
th●
Prince
,
and
so
calling
to
our
Centinels
,
The
gard
receiued
them
in
,
and
the
officer
that
commaunded
in
the
morning
brought
th●●
to
his
Excel
.
(
The
contents
off
these
letters
were
as
it
is
reported
)
That
,
hee
could
not
hold
out
the
Towne
aboue
three
weekes
,
and
that
the
Burgers
for
the
saving
of
their
goods
,
and
liues
,
and
shunning
of
danger
would
force
him
to
a
composition
,
and
therefore
required
releife
within
that
time
,
or
els
the
Towne
would
be
lost
,
of
all
which
the
Prince
made
good
vse
.
To
goe
on
then
the
Tenaile
being
ours
wee
began
a
new
sapp
,
from
the
right
point
therof
,
towardes
the
enemies
halfe
moone
,
without
the
Vuchter
port
,
running
our
aproaches
by
oblique
lines
,
windings
and
turnings
,
till
wee
came
to
the
very
brinke
of
the
moate
,
where
the
dummel
fals
into
it
making
the
moate
and
it
aboue
300
foot
ouer
,
and
euer
as
wee
gott
ground
,
so
we
advanced
our
ordinance
,
made
batteries
gards
,
and
blinds
,
for
the
safegard
of
our
men
.
There
began
the
first
entrance
of
our
gallerie
into
the
moate
to
bee
put
ouer
into
the
bullwarke
on
the
right
hand
of
the
port
.
On
both
sides
the
entrance
of
our
long
gallery
,
there
were
made
for
the
defence
of
it
,
two
batteries
of
two
halfe
Cannon
a
peece
,
which
beate
vpon
the
bricke
foundation
of
the
bulwarke
and
likewise
flankard
our
Gallerie
on
both
sides
.
The
ordinance
likewise
which
were
planted
vpon
the
Tenaile
.
playd
vppon
the
Bullwarkes
on
each
side
the
Port
,
to
dismount
their
ordinance
which
shot
vpon
the
end
of
our
Gallerie
and
of
our
workmen
but
the
enemies
ordinance
were
so
suncke
that
wee
could
not
come
at
them
,
till
they
made
other
batteries
,
yet
our
Ordinance
from
thence
did
so
batter
and
shatter
the
Brickie
linings
of
the
Bulwarke
,
on
the
right
hand
of
the
Port
,
that
it
was
made
almost
mountable
before
the
Earth
brush
and
blind
were
layd
ouer
the
moate
from
the
end
of
our
gallerie
to
the
Bulwarke
it selfe
.
From
vnder
this
Tenaile
was
also
a
planke
bridg
layd
ouer
the
Dummell
,
and
a
blind
made
to
get
into
the
Vuchter
eynt
or
Bleake
field
.
In
this
patch
of
ground
were
made
blinds
and
batteries
to
dismount
the
enemies
O●dinances
,
which
playd
vpon
our
Gallerie
and
workemen
,
from
the
Bulwarke
on
the
left
hand
of
the
Port
,
&
a
peece
which
they
had
sunk
in
their
halfe
moone
.
In
this
field
also
wee
began
to
lay
our
second
Gallery
ouer
to
the
right
face
o●
the
Bulwarke
but
the
enemies
Ordinance
from
the
bulwarke
on
the
farther

of
the
Port

8
or
ten
times
and
shott
some
of
the
posts
thereof
assunder
,
at
the
entrance
of
It
into
the
moate
:
yet
at
the
last
our
baterie
in
that
field
put
them
to
silence
,
&
an
English
Captaine
an
excellent
Cannonier
whose
name
I
haue
forgot
,
dismounted
their
halfe
Cannon
.
That
day
my
Lord
of
Oxford
had
the
gard
,
by
shooting
iust
into
the
Port
bole
,
after
this
our
men
wrought
more
safely
in
both
the
Galleries
.
At
the
Entrance
off
our
second
Gallerie
was
likewise
made
a
gard
for
the
defence
of
It.
Our
long
Gallerie
being
got
some
30
or
40
ioynts
or
posts
ouer
the
Dummell
and
the
moate
,
each
ioynt
being
about
3
foot
distant
one
from
another
,
(
And
that
it
was
counted
a
good
night
and
dayes
worke
to
fill
vp
the
moate
and
set
vp
three
or
foure
of
them
)
The
gards
,
batteries
,
and
blinds
being
made
higher
an●
more
defencible
for
our
men
:
On
the
left
hand
of
that
blind
which
ran
to
the
entrance
of
our
long
Gallerie
into
the
moate
,
wee
begun
a
sapp
forwards
towards
the
enemies
halfe
moone
without
the
Port
,
making
still
Gards
,
&
batteries
for
our
Cannon
and
morters
,
till
we
came
to
the
ve●y
counter
Scharfe
of
the
halfe
moone
,
and
so
wee
beate
the
enemy
out
of
It
into
the●r
halfe
moone
,
by
the
same
token
Sarant
Coxe
of
my
Lord
veres
company
of
Sehconhouer
who
fel
on
with
the
men
was
soundly
thrasht
with
an
yron
flav●e
for
his
labour
,
the
counter
scharfe
being
taken
in
,
a
bridge
was
layd
ouer
the
ditch
of
the
halfe
moone
to
get
a
mine
into
the
foundation
thereof
.
In
this
sap
,
Captaine
Clarke
made
a
lofty
gard
,
which
was
a
very
good
defence
for
our
men
,
especially
to
offend
the
enemy
,
when
they
peept
,
or
shott
ouer
out
of
their
halfe
moone
,
vpon
our
sappers
and
workemen
.
On
the
15th
of
August
in
the
nig●t
the
enemy
had
a
Stratagem
in
his
head
to
cut
our
Trench
by
the
little
mile
,
and
Co●dewater
,
&
so
to
haue
let
in
the
water
vpon
our
aproaches
.
to
put
this
into
execution
,
Grubbingdon●k
sent
out
of
the
Towne
some
hundered
and
fifty
fire
locks
,
with
Spades
,
which
stole
in
the
night
,
betweene
the
Petlar
Sconce
&
Count
Ernests
quarter
thorow
the
inward
line
,
where
it
was
not
●inished
,
and
came
to
the
little
windmill
by
our
out
line
,
And
there
hauing
layd
an
ambuscado
of
some
of
their
firelocks
in
a
ditch
,
and
behind
some
bushes
fell
to
worke
apace
,
to
cut
our
Trench
some
30
foote
broad
betweene
the
hornework
&
the
Redoubts
vpon
the
line
,
not
farr
from
that
place
where
Count
Harry
of
the
Berks
men
would
haue
attempted
It
beefore
,
but
part
of
Captaine
Broogs
company
hauing
the
gard
in
a
Redoubt
next
vnto
them
gaue
●ire
,
and
the
Alarum
being
giuen
,
our
horse
which
had
the
Gard
in
a
house
not
farr
from
thence
came
vp
to
charge
them
,
and
giuing
fire
likewise
from
that
Redoubt
,
they
left
their
worke
and
retreated
backe
to
their
Ambuscado
,
leauing
some
spads
and
a
paire
of
old
shoes
behind
them
,
and
as
they
retreated
gaue
fire
vpon
our
horse
men
,
and
slew
a
corporall
and
hurt
too
or
three
more
besides
.
But
by
reason
of
the
mor●ace
&
the
ditche
,
our
horses
could
not
come
to
charge
them
,
neither
durst
out
foote
fall
out
of
their
gards
,
and
so
they
retreated
back
againe
into
the
Towne
some
to
English
mile
from
the
place
where
they
fell
a
cutting
▪
Surely
If
they
had
stavd
but
one
halfe
quarter
of
an
houre
longer
or
cut
the
gap
not
so
broad
,
they
had
effected
the
busines
they
came
for
,
because
the
water
was
not
passing
three
ynches
lower
then
the
top
of
the
Trench
,
and
so
should
haue
let
in
an
Invndation
of
water
vpon
vs
.
On
Satterday
at
night
the
18th
of
August
my
Leiutenant
Coronell
Sr
Edward
Vere
had
the
commaund
in
the
Trenches
,
and
on
sunday
his
Excel

who
often
times
ventered
his

very
much
,
came
downe
to
the
Gallery
,
to

a
little
beefore
my

was

.
Hee
went

whiles
the

my
Lieutenant

and
taking

walking

Conway
being
a
tall
man
,
came
that
vnhappy
shott
thorow
the
blind
and
shot
him
behind
in
his

,
that
It
perisht
his
braynes
,
That
night
being
brought
vp
into
his
Hut
in
the

,
He
cald
vpon
the
LORD
,
that
he
was
his
shield
,
his
buckler
,
and
defence
,
and
besought
the
LORD
in
mercy
to
pardon
his
sinns
in
Christ
,
&
that
he
desired
none
in
Heauen
or
Earth
but
Christ
and
his
righteousnesse
,
and
so
vttered
many
comfortable
sentences
sauouring
of
a
gracious
resolution
,
and
with
in
foure
dayes
after
It
pleased
GOD
,
to
call
him
to
his
mercy
,
and
so
wee
lost
our
Lieutenant
Coronel
,
whose
extraordinary
valour
Sufficiencie
,
and
compleat
abilities
for
a
commander
,
a●●he●
were
well
knowne
vnto
vs
:
so
was
his
losse
exceedingly
lamented
by
his
Excel

and
the
chiefes
of
our
Army
.
My
Lord
Generall
Vere
,
my
Lord
of
Oxford
,
many
Captaines
,
officers
,
voluntaries
,
and
Gentlemen
of
quallity
,
who
had
bin
at
his
funerall
in
Bōmell
▪
returning
home
,
that
night
our
Regiment
had
the
gard
in
the
approaches
,
and
a
ciuill
worthy
Gentleman
of
my
Lords
company
of
Dort
,
one
Master
Mullinax
,
that
bare
my
Lieutenant
Coronels
sword
before
his
Corps
that
day
,
going
to
see
the
sappe
was
the
first
that
night
which
followed
him
the
way
of
all
flesh
.
My
Lord
Generall
Vere
bestird
himselfe
,
had
all
his
officers
and
Gentlemen
and
souldiers
about
him
in
a
readines
,
that
vpon
the
first
occasion
,
If
the
enemy
had
either
Sallied
out
vppon
our
sappers
and
workemen
,
or
If
they
should
haue
attempted
the
firing
of
our
Gallerie
,
they
might
haue
beate
them
in
againe
,
Captaine
Rockwood
of
my
Lords
Regiment
,
as
Eldest
Captaine
executed
my
Lords
commands
with
valour
and
discretion
,
had
his
granado
men
at
hand
,
and
plac'd
diuers
musketiers
vpon
al
flankes
to
play
vpon
the
enemy
&
to
keepe
them
vnder
,
for
shooting
vppon
the
end
of
out
Gallene
,
and
our
workemen
,
and
now
and
then
sent
them
some
Cannon
bullets
which
shott
vpon
the
top
of
their
bulwarke
,
and
vpon
their
halfe
moone
,
too
keepe
th●m
vnder
,
sometimes
shooting
A
granado
into
the
Towne
and
throwing
hand
granadoes
among
them
,
into
their
halfe-moone
.
Towards
midnight
the
Enemy
likewise
did
cast
hand
granadoes
vpon
our
blind
,
next
vnto
their
halfe-moone
,
and
set
fire
on
it
,
which
brake
out
into
a
great
flame
,
but
the
vigilency
of
my
Lord
Gen●rall
Vere
was
such
,
fearing
that
the
fi●e
might
take
further
,
he
gaue
order
that
some
souldiers
should
take
shouels
,
and
spades
from
the
workemen
,
and
cast
earth
and
water
vpon
it
,
which
caused
it
to
s●ake
,
and
had
two
or
three
granado
men
in
a
readinesse
there
which
payd
them
with
their
owne
coine
:
but
sure
it
was
good
that
the
wind
blew
South
West
,
for
had
the
winde
bin
Northwest
,
and
had
blowne
stiff●
,
as
it
did
,
it
had
not
onely
endangered
the
firing
of
all
our
blinds
,
but
also
our
gallery
,
which
would
haue
hindred
our
approaches
,
and
cast
vs
a
great
deale
behind
hand
.
And
so
this
night
and
the
day
following
our
gallery
,
and
workes
were
well
advanced
.
This
day
Sir
Harry
Hungate
got
a
marke
of
honour
by
a
bullet
which
shot
him
thorow
his
buffe
Ierkin
,
and
g●a●ed
vpon
his
flesh
.
Before
our
Regimt
had
the
watch
againe
in
the
Approaches
the
gallery
was
wel
advanced
,
and
they
gott
about
three
posts
night
and
day
.
It
was
then
my
Lord
of
Oxfords
turne
to
Command
who
was
made
our
Lieutenant
Coronell
in
Sir
Edward
Veres
place
deceased
.
The
bridg
being
la●d
ouer
the
ditch
of
the
enemyes
halfe
moone
wee
began
to
sapp
,
and
logd
in
the
left
Corner
of
It
▪
and
made
a
mine
into
It
,
wee
found
It
verie
hard
mining
into
It
,
because
of
the
tre●●
that
laye
a
crosse
in
It.
This
euening
there
was
discouered
an
engine
vpon
a
floate
from
the
furthest
part
of
their
halfe
moone
by
the
moate
,
which
wee
presuposed
they
had
prepared
for
the
firing
of
our
Gallerie
▪
to
prevent
this
my
Lord
of
Oxford
got
a
sloope
,
which
was
brought
about
towards
our
Gallerie
,
that
on
a
suddaine
tenn
or
twelue
resolut
souldiers
with
short
swords
and
pistolls
might
chopp

from
fastning
any

worke●
vpon
our
G●llerie
,
which
the
enemy
perceiuing

It
vnattempted
.
His

order
likewise
that
our

and

Bulwarke
and
their
halfe
moone
to
keepe
the
enemy
from
Peeping
ouer
,
and
giuing
fire
vpon
our
workemen
.
This
night
though
it
was
moone
light
the
brush
and
faggots
were
l●yd
ouer
to
the
left
hand
of
the
Bu●lwarke
from
the
end
of
our
second
Gallerie
in

and
the

the
approaches
vpon
any
service
that
was
to
bee
done
,
and
exposed
their
bo●ies
both
to
danger
and
sicknes
.
My
Lord
of
Oxford
an
houre
before
he
was
resiened
had
〈◊〉
with
the
enemy
vppon
th●
left
co●ner
of
their

and
my

comming
vp
almost
to
the
topp
of
the
halfe
moone
gaue
fire
in
the
teeth
of
the
enemy
▪
and
came
to
the
push
of
pike
thorow
the
blinds
,
this
startl'd
them
,
&
made
them
throwe
stones
to
vs
and
cast
hand
granado●s
among-our
men
.
but
his
Lord
caused
a
souldier
of
Captaine
Roockwoods
company
to
cast
14
hand
Granadoes
among
them
▪
in
to
their
halfe
moone
,
which
made
them
giue
back
and
Cry
Guarda
,
Guarda
,
The
Granados
being
burst
,
they
Came
vpp
againe
to
the
top
of
the
halfe
moone
,
with
as
much
hast
as
possible
might
be
to
giue
fire
vpon
our
men
▪
but
my
Lord
caused
musketiers
to
be
drawne
to
the
top
of
our
gards
especially
that
of
Captaine
Clarke
which
was
high
they
gaue
fire
apace
vpon
them
,
fetcht
some
of
them
off
which
shewed
their
heads
,
and
bodies
,
this
peece
of
service
being
ended
my
Lord
of
Oyford
being
Relieued
drew
away
to
our
quarters
.
On
Count
Ernests
side
the
19
of
August
the
brush
,
and
plancks
were
la●ed
ouer
to
their
Horne-worke
,
and
a
mine
made
into
it
.
This
mine
being
sprung
,
the
Scotch
,
and
the
Dutches
fell
on
couragiously
,
and
they
and
the
Enemy
gaue
fire
apa●e
one
at
another
for
three
quarters
of
an
houre
,
our
ordinance
playing
from
all
batteries
,
as
fast
as
they
could
charge
,
and
discharge
.
In
this
time
the
Enemy
endured
three
assaults
,
with
the
losse
of
many
men
,
as
●he
Burgers
afterward
reported
who
were
present
vpon
the
walls
,
but
the
Enemy
gaue
fire
so
from
the
wall
of
the
Towne
,
and
out
of
the
greathalfe-moone
,
that
our
men
not
carryi●g
it
were
driuen
for
that
time
to
retreate
into
the
mouth
of
their
gallery
,
and
workes
,
yet
this
advantage
they
got
,
they
set
vp
some
musket
baskets
,
and
lodged
some
men
vpon
the
right
corner
of
their
horne-worke
,
from
whence
they
began
a
sap
,
and
made
blinds
toward
their
halfe-moone
which
after
another
mine
was
sprung
,
caused
the
Enemy
on
the
21
of
August
to
quit
it
wholly
to
them
,
&
so
retired
into
their
halfe-moone
.
In
this
sight
,
were
flayne
,
Captaine
Ramsey
,
and
two
dayes
after
a
Dutch
captaine
,
called
captaine
Hatton
who
carryed
themselues
very
worthyly
.
On
the
23
of
August
wee
had
a
generall
thanksgiuing
,
and
a
Triumph
thorow
out
the
whole
army
,
in
acknowledgment
of
the
great
goodnesse
of
God
,
for
the
taking
in
of
Wesell
.
The
triumph
was
made
in
this
manner
following
,
first
the
musketteirs
were
drawne
off
from
all
out
guards
(
sauing
the
approaches
)
and
out
of
our
quarters
,
and
placed
along
the
inner
line
next
the
Towne
,
some
sixe
foote
distance
one
from
another
.
The
pikes
were
drawne
to
the
out
line
and
out-guards
,
and
the
rest
stood
by
diuisions
in
the
quarters
,
eu●ry
one
of
them
hauing
a
wispe
of
strawe
vpon
the
head
of
his
pike
,
to
be
set
on
fire
,
when
the
signall
should
be
giuen
.
The
volley
of
musketteirs
should
begin
at
Crevi-coeur
,
where
the
Princesse
lay
,
and
so
to
Engelen
,
from
thence
along
the
men
of
warre
,
and
the
Redoubts
by
the
Busle
sloote
,
to
Monsieur
Pincens
quarter
,
so
to
the
French
line
,
the
approaches
,
a●d
then
to
vs
,
from
thence
to
the
Lord
of
Breadroods
quarter
,
and
so
along
to
Count
Ernests
quarter
,
and
so
to
Count
Williams
quarter
where
it
ended
.
Betwixt
euery
volley
,
the
canon
which
lay
vpon
the
Batteryes
of
the
out
line
,
those
which
were
drawne
out
of
our
quarters
to
the
heath
by
the
stone
gallowes
,
and
those
which
were
in
all
the
approaches
should
be
shot
off
.
The
signall
was
this
,
about
ten
a
clocke
in
the
night
,
when
a
granado
was
shot
into
the
Towne
,
then
the
first
volley
should
beginne
,
and
the
wisps
of
straw
vpon
the
heads
of
the
pikes
,
should
be
set
on
fire
,
All
which
was
done
accordingly
and
made
a
braue
show
.
The
volly
met
with
a
stop
at
the
first
,
but
when
it
came
to
the
French
line
,
to
the
approaches
,
to
vs
,
to
the
lord
of
Bread●oods
,
to
Count
Ernest
quarter
,
and
Count
Williams
quarter
it
ran
well
.
Betweene
the
vollyes
,
there
were
aboue
3●0
peeces
of
ordinance
from
Crevi-coeur
,
and
roun●
about
our
army
dis●●arged
,
those
of
the
Towne
acknowledged
afterward
,
that
shooting
at
once
with
so
many
ordinance
out
of
our
approaches
in
o●
towne
did
much
amaze
them
.
And
then
they
began
to
beleeue
indeed
that
Wesell
was
Geux
,
though
the
gouernour
by
all
mean●s
laboured
to
conceale
it
from
them
,
and
thus
much
touching
our
Triumph
for
Wesell
.

of
them
prepared
this
Camisado
for
them
,
they
hauing
advertisement
by
some
pesants
their
freinds
,
of
our
men●
comming
,
stole
away
in
the
night
,
and
trusted
rather
to
their
heeles
then
to
their
armes
.
Yet
they
were
not
gone
so
farre
,
but
the
Duke
of
●ouillon
with
his
horse
fetches
them
vp
,
and
round●
them
in
a
morrace
,
and
by
a
ditch
,
and
charging
them
,
slew
about
70
of
them
.
The
rest
cryed
out
for
quarter
,
and
because
they
were
such
souldiers
,
the
Duke
was
in
a
quandary
,
whether
he
should
giue
them
quarter
or
not
,
but
at
last
with
much
entreaty
,
he
graunted
them
quarter
,
&
tooke
160
of
them
prisoners
,
and
brought
them
the
next
day
to
our
quarters
.
In
the
Castle
they
left
behind
them
,
foure
petars
made
of
oken
planckes
,
some
fiue
ynches
thicke
,
and
the
chamber
or
briche
,
lined
with
Iron
.
These
should
haue
bin
charged
with
powder
and
stones
,
to
haue
bin
discharged
out
of
their
sloopes
vpon
our
Trench
,
and
so
hauing
made
a
rupture
in
our
liue
,
haue
let
in
a
sea
of
water
to
haue
drowned
,
and
ouerflowne
all
our
approaches
,
these
engines
were
brought
likewise
in
karr●
to
his
Excel

house
in
our
quarters
.
On
the
fifth
of
September
,
the
Trench
,
&
fagots
being
layd
from
the
end
of
our
long
gallery
to
the
very
foundation
of
the
bulwarke
:
the
miners
began
a
mine
thorow
the
brickes
into
it
.
but
by
reason
the
Enemy
had
sunck
a
peece
from
the
end
of
their
halfe-moone
,
which
shot
iust
into
the
mouth
of
the
mine
,
it
was
hot
being
there
,
which
made
the
miners
schy
,
the
more
because
two
o●
the
miners
were
slayne
,
which
had
taken
it
on
,
in
the
very
m●uth
of
the
mine
,
and
could
not
be
brought
off
,
this
●assed
fi●e
●aves
till
a
blind
was
made
from
the
end
of
our
gallery
to
the
bulwarke
,
and
then
there
was
found
three
souldiers
of
my
Lord
Generall
Veres
company
of
Schoonhoven
,
to
wit
Iohn
Scott
,
William
Lee
,
and
especially
Richard
Pristman
,
who
was
skillfull
on
digging
,
and
vnderpropping
of
Colepits
in
En●land
,
vndertooke
it
,
&
perform'd
it
well
,
and
this
commendations
one
may
giue
them
,
that
it
tooke
the
best
effect
of
any
mine
,
which
was
euer
sprung
before
the
busse
.
Well
then
on
the
tenth
of
September
being
munday
,
betime
in
the
morning
,
Sr
Iacob
Ashly
Lieut●●ant
Coronell
to
Generall
Morgans
Regiment
,
had
the
command
that
night
in
the
Approaches
.
And
with
much
a
doe
a
mine
was
made
in
the
Enemies
halfe
moone
b●fore
the
Porr
,
ere
the
mine
was
sprung
he
sent
a
Sati●●t
with
sixe
●uskettiers
to
the
top
of
the
halfe-moone
,
to
giue
the
Enemy
an
al●rum
,
to
bring
them
on
towards
our
mine
,
and
then
for
feare
of
endangering
our
owne
men
,
he
was
to
retreate
back
againe
,
all
which
was
done
accordingly
.
The
mine
then
being
blowne
vp
,
tooke
but
little
effect
,
for
the
reasons
aboue
●aid
,
and
made
no
great
entrance
into
their
halfe
moone
.
After
this
Sr
Simon
Harecourts
Ensigne
was
commanded
to
fall
vp
with
some
30
musketeirs
to
the
top
of
the
halfe-moone
,
and
to
giue
fire
among
the
Enemy
,
which
he
did
.
The
Enemy
stood
it
out
a
good
while
thinking
to
draw
on
our
men
to
two
of
their
owne
mines
which
were
to
be
sprung
.
Now
the
E●emies
two
mines
being
blowne
vp
,
Sr
Iacob
Ashly
fell
vp
,
and
gaue
order
to
Sr
Simon
Harebourt
to
fall
into
the
Enemies
halfe-moone
with
50
muskettiers
;
and
pikes
more
,
with
his
Ensigne
,
and
the
30
abouesaid
.
The
Enemy
disputing
it
a
good
while
but
at
last
Sr
Symon
and
his
men
beate
them
vp
to
their
entrance
into
their
halfe
moone
by
the
moate
side
,
and
there
changed
bullets
one
with
another
,
and
came
to
push
of
pike
,
and
after
they
had
mayntained
that
place
a
pretty
while
,
he
droue
them
from
thence
along●th
moate
side
to
a
traverse
,
which
was
cast
vp
some
60
paces
from
the
said
entrance
into
the
halfe-moone
,
where
following
them
closse
,
and
giuing
fire
vpon
them
,
at
last
they
bid
him
farewell
,
and
retreated
into
the
Towne
by
Saint
Iohns
Port.
This
being
done
he
himselfe
with
his
men
made
a
stand
at
the
entrance
into
the
halfe
moone
,
where
the
Enemy
stood
it
out
till
it
began
to
be
light
,
and
till
our
men
were
lodged
in
the
top
of
the
halfe-moone
,
in
those
places
which
might
most
offen●
the
Enemy
,
This
was
the
first
worke
,
which
was
carried
by
force
of
Armes
,
and
really
disputed
.
In
this
sight
Sr
Simon
Harecourt
was
fiue
times
thrust
,
and
shot
thorow
his
cloathes
,
and
yet
it
pleased
God
he
came
of
well
,
and
with
honor
.
After
our
men
had
taken
in
the
halfe
moone
,
his
Eycel
.
came
downe
into
the
gallery
,
and
gaue
extraordinary
thanks
to
Sir
Iacob
Ashly
,
Sir
Simon
Harecourte
,
&
the
rest
of
the
officers
and
souldiers
,
which
had
carried
themselues
so
well
,
and
rewarded
some
of
the
souldiers
with
mony
.
And
thus
the
Enemy
on
our
●●de
was
shut
vp
into
the
Towne
.
The

and
though
they
should
possesse
the
Bulwarke
,
and
be
masters
of
it
:
yet
they
should
retire

The

musketteirs
giuing
fire
from
all
guards
,
and
flanckes
,
and
our

thundring
from

did
so
amaze
and
startle
them

,
&
retreated
,
where
it
was
cut
off
