of
Iune
wee
marched

,
soe
that

till
the

orders
to

It
was
generally
supposed
,
that
those
of
Roermondt
yeilded
vp
the
towne
with
so
much
the
more
speed
,
fearing
that
his
Ex

in
reveng

The

our

with
often
shooting
with
two
halfe-Canon
from
the
French
Battery
did
so
shake
&
beate
vpon
the
wall
ouer
against
the
French
approches
,
that
it
sunck
downe
some
three
rodes

which
made
the

quitt
a
part
of
their
counterskarfe
.
And
the
French
advanced
well
their
great
covert
gallerie
vnder
the
dry
Moate
.
The
third
of
August
the
Enemy
was
not
so
lavish
in
shooting
awaye
their
powder
and
bullets
as
wouts
they
to
be
,
but
did
beginn
to
husband
yt
against
a
time
of
more
neede
;
so
that
this
night
wee
had
not
one
man
shott
,
onely
Colonell
Harewood
gott
a
sligh
hurt

This

the

sapt
into

to
the
brinke
of

and
made
there
two
or
three
small
guards
,
to
maintaine
the
sapp
,
and
to
offend
the
Ennemie
.
The
fourth
of
August
wee
brought
an
other
sapp
vp
on
our
right
hand
into
their
moate
,
and
made
likewise
two
or
three
litle
Corps
off
guard
to
secure
yt
.
It
was
admirable
to
see
when
wee
had
gott
into
their
counterskarfe
and
the
brinck
of
their
deep
ditch
,
howe
many
windings
and
turnings
,
lines
,
flancks
,
and
sapps
we
made
,
they
were
like
a
Maze
wherein
one
might
have
lost
himself
,
if
hee
had
not
knowne
them
well
.
They
braunched
out
one
both
sides
of
our
great
gallerie
,
and
diverse
pyenests
,
&
small
gards
were
made
beyonde
the
Entrance
into
yt
,
to
flanke●
along
the
moate
,
&
to
playe
vpon
the
wall
,
which
did
so
much
overloke
vs
.
Our
great
gallerie
was
so
vnder
propt
with
supporters
of
timber
,
and
plancks
aboue
yt
,
that
foure
men
might
march
in
Frunt
in
yt
.
Every
daye
and
night
wee
got
a
rode
or
more
,
it
was
160
paces
long
,
and
went
shelving
downe
some
8
:
foote
vnder
the
bottome
of
their
dry
moate
,
which
was
of
a
hugh
deepth
,
and
then
rising
vp
againe
to
come
to
the
foundation
of
their
stone
wall
.
Having
then
(
as
is
said
)
gott
into
the
Ennemies
Counterskarfe
,
dry
ditch
or
moate
they
by
degrees
litle
&
lite
quitted
part
of
yt
,
and
retyred
toward
their
halfe-moones
,
before
both
their
ports
casting
vp
small
traverses
vpon
their
Counterskarfe
and
the
brinck
of
their
moate
to
hinder
vs
from
sapping
forward
,
so
that
they
disputed
every
patch
of
ground
with
vs
,
&
wee
were
forced
to
cutt
them
out
of
them
,
or
else
to
fyre
them
out
of
them
.
The
Enemie
had
planted
a
small
peece
in
their
halfe-moone
,
shot
into
our
sapps
,
and
from
the

out
off

,
where
the
French
Baron
and

The
Enemye
having
possessed
these

began
to
slight
them
,
and
cast
downe
many

our
muskett-Basketts
,
which
made
them
lye
very
open
to
the

which
the
Enemye
had
begun
to
slight

and
by
litle
and
litle
to
set
vp
our
musket-baskets
again
,
&
comanded
our
men
from
all
guards
to
give
fire
vpon
the
wall
,
and
the
Roundels
of
it
,
to
keepe
the
Ennemy
from
shooting
,
while
our
men
did
their
buisinesse
.
My
Lord
of
Oxford
coming
downe
went
to
the
point
,
and
right
hand
sap
,
&
coming
thither
the
Souldiers
being
over
wearyed
called
out
to
his
Loᵖ:

whervpon
my

promissed

which
were
brought
vp
to
releive
our

,
his
Lo:
tooke
about
16
of
them
,
and
though
hee
was
intreated
by
my
Lord
Generall
Vere
,
Sargant
Maiour
Cromwel
,
and
some
others
,
not
to
venter
his
person
,
yet
hee
went
in
with
them
,
and
before
he
came
to
the
point
of
the
right
hand
sapp
,
being
a
dangerous
place
and
lying
open
,
received
their
a
mortall
shott
throw
his
head
.
What
a
heavie
spectacle
this
was
to
the
standers
by
,
and
what
a
sudden
impression
of
greife
it
was
to
my
Lord
Generall
Vere
,
the
symptomes
of
his
face
did
discover
:
neverthelesse
his
Lop:
p
:
suppressing
yt
as
well
as
he
could
,
gave
further
direction
that
our
men
should
ply
shooting
,
that
the
gards
,
and
the
sapps
should
be
relieved
,
and
the
musket
▪
baskets
,
which
the
Enemy
had
throwne
downe
,
by
litle
and
litle
should
be
sett
vp
againe
.
And
ere
all
things
were
done
,
it
was
twelve
a
clock
at
the
least
.
In
this
fight
Sarrant
Maiour
Williamson
,
Captaine
Martin
that
comanded
Generall
Morgan

Companie
,
Lieutenant
Avery
,
Qvartermaister

and
some

Among

and
bruysed

.
This
action
was
noe
soner
ended
,
but
an
other
alarme
began
on
Count
Maurice
his
side
;
for
whilst
my
Lord
Vere
,
and
diversse
Officers
,
were
at
dinner
with
my
Lord
Craven
in
the
trenches
,
wee
heard
ten
or
twelve
rousing
Canon
goe
off
from
the
brow
of
the
hil
where
Papenheym
laye
.
It
seemes
there
was
some
secret
intelligence
betweene
Papenheym
,
and
those
of
the
towne
,
to
have
falne
on
both
at
one
time
,
if
hee
had
bin
ready
,
or
the
howre
had
not
bin
mistaken
.
The
night
before
,
the
Marquesse
Sancte
Croce
had
sent
Generall
Papenheym
three
Italian
Regiments
,
and
some
of
his
best
Canon
.
Papenheym
then
thundring
with
his
ordnance
from
his
great
batterie
vpon
Count
Maurice
his
quarter
,
and
vpon
the
line
,
came
marching
downe
the
hill
in
full
Batalia
some
6.
or
7.
thousand
horse
and
foote
,
drawing
downe
two
feild
peeces
before
them
,
which
they
planted
within
musket
shott
of
the
place
,
were
they
intended
to
Enter
.
The
place
was
vpon
a
litle
church
yard
called
Ammy
:
where
our
line
was
not
yet
perfected
,
&
where
there
were
hedges
orchardes
,
and
trees
which
did
shelter
them
much
from
our
shott
.
They
tooke
our
men
iust
at
dinner
,
and
the
alarme
being
so
hotly
given
,
our
men
leaving
their
victualls
behind
them
,
ran
in
all
expedition
to
answere
yt
.
The
Italian
Regiments
had
the
honour
to
give
vs
the
first
charge
,
and
fell
vpon
this
church-yard
,
and
came
to
pushe
of
the
pike
with
our
men
vpon
the
topp
of
the
trench
,
The
Italians
gave
on
three
or
foure
times
,
&
did
their
best
endeavour
,
to
have
entred
:
but
our
men
gave
them
such
a
welcome
,
and
did
so
repulse
them
,
that
some
of
them
were
slayne
vpon
the
brest
worke
,
and
tumbled
downe
into
the
ditch
,
and
others
were
knockt
downe
with
the
stocks
of
Musketts
,
and
had
their
braynes
beaten
out
with
brick
batts
.
And
our
ordnance
playing
from
all
our
Batteries
which
flanckred
those
feilds
,
raked
throw
and
throw
the
midst
of
Papenheyms
Battalions
,
&
powred
whole
voleyes
of
small
short
among
them
.
Papenheym
seeing
the
Italians
thus
beaten
,
&
retreate
(
as
Marques
Spinola
did
at
●ergin
vpon
the
English
)
charged
them
in
the
Reere
with
his
horse
to
force
them
to
fall
on
againe
:
but
at
last
seing
yt
was
in
vaine
,
&
that
they
cold
not
enter
,
gave
waye
to
their
retreate
.
In
this
fight
worthy
Captayne
Morton
was
slayne
.
His
Ex
cie
:
also
being
at
dinner
,
and
hearing
this
hott
alarme
,
calls
for
his
horse
,
and
tooke
diverse
foote
companies
along
with
him
,
&
two
peeces
of
French
halfe
canon
,
made
all
the
speed
that
possibly
he
could
to
ge●t
to
count
Maurice
his
quarter
.
The
foote
companies
were
placed
along
the
lyne
,
&
some
30
troops
off
our
horse
stood
in
Battalie
,
that
iff
Papenheym
had
entred
,
not
a
man
of
them
had
gott
off
.
His
Ex
cie
:
being
come
to
count
Maurice
his
quarters
,
presently
planted
there
the
two
peeces
,
which
he
brought
along
with
him
,
&
which
did
so
rake
throw
Papenheyms
battalions
,
that
often
times
a
bullet
swept
away
five
or
sixe
off
them
at
a
shott
,
their
horse
&
horsemen
tumbling
downe
,
and
sprawling
vpon
the
Earth
.
This
fight
continued
along
time
from
one
off
the
clock
,
till
8
or
nine
in
the
night
,
before
they
could
come
cleare
off
.
In
this
fight
powder
nor
shott
were
spared
on
neither
side
.
Count
Papenheym
wold
faine
have
bin
gone
sooner
,
but
hee
was
engaged
,
to
staye
the
longer
for
the
carrying
off
of
his
dead
&
hurt
men
,
and
the
drawing
off
his
two
feild
peeces
,
which
cost
many
off
his
men
theirs
dearest
lives
.
It
was
credibly
reported
,
that
in
this
fight
,
hee
lost
1400
or
1500
hundred
men
,
&
himself
hurt
.
For
the
daye
following
the
Boores
comming
in
tould
vs
,
that
there
were
24
waggons
appointed
in
the
night
,
to
fetch
of
their
dead
and
hurt
men
,
whereof
some
of
them
had
their
leggs
&
their
armes
shot
off
.
These
waggons
went
often
to
and
againe
in
the
night
,
and
by
the
churchyard
,
where
the
Italians
fell
on
,
their
lay
140
of
their
dead
bodies
stript
,
our
men
did
them
the
honour
to
cast
Earth
vpon
them
,
&
to
bury
them
in
the
ditch
off
our
trench
.
The
〈◊〉
the
three
Italian
Regiments
were
sent
back
by
Papenheym
to
Marquesse
Sancte
Croce
well
beaten
.
And
it
was
reported
that
count
Papenheym
vpbrayded
the
Spaynards
for
not
attempting
in
some
other
place
,
while
he
strived
to
relieve
Mastricht
.
when
the
newes

brought
to
Sancte
Croce
who
was
at
playe

that
count
Papenheym
was
beaten
,
hee
told

followes

that
hee
knew

for
hee
had
not
to

with
his
Muffs

&
so
gee●ing
at

This
day
also

where
the
bullets
flew
thick
,
and
threefold
.
It
was
very
difficult
for

of

steepnesse
of

,
&
a
great
many
of

The
Ennemy
likewise
lost
a
brave
Captaine
vpon
the
breach
and
a
great
many
of
other
Officers
&
men
,
who
did
ingeniously
confesse
vnto
vs
,
after
wee
came
into
the
Towne
,
that
if
our
Myne
had
sprung
but
halfe
an
houre
sooner
,
the
Baron
of
Leyde
Vice
Gouvernour
,
and
some
of
the
Magistrates
standing
aboue
the
myne
,
and
giung
some
orders
how
to
defend
the
breach
,
had
bin
blowne
vp
into
the
aire
.
Our
men
falling
on
&
striving
to
enter
,
there
was
a
pityfull
cry
of
men
,
woemen
&
children
in
the
Towne
,
their
great
alarme
Bell
ringing
out
.
And
some
of
them
fearing
that
our
men
wold
have
entred
,
and
served
them
as
the
Prince
off
Parma
did
Anno
1579.
cryed
out
for
quarter
,
but
our
men
gave
noe
eare
vnto
them
,
because
his
Ex
ice
:
had
promissed
our
men
,
they
should
pillage
the
Towne
if
they
entred
,
which
did
much
animate
them
.
There
was
order
giving
when
our
men
fell
first
on
,
that
iff
the
breach
was
not
mountable
,
and
the
assault
feisible
,
they
should
have
sent
his
Ex
cie
:
word
,
and
have
falne
off
:
but
it
seemes
the
over-ruling
hand
of
the
Lord
of
Hoasts
was
in
this
action
,
and
the
courage
of
our
men
such
,
that
it
was
omitted
:
for
though
wee
lost
a
Company
of
brave
,
and
worthy
men
,
who
desirous
of
honour
lost
their
lives
there
,
yet
they
did
so
startle
the
Ennemy
,
that
they
durst
not
stand
out
a
second
assault
,
as
yee
shall
heare
the
daye
following
.
Vpon
Saterday
then
the
21
in
the
morning
a
parly
was
beaten
for
the
fetching
off
of
our
dead
bodies
on
both
sides
:
Sr:

Ieamet
Sanderling
then
commanding
in
the
approches
,
the
dead
being
brought
off
,
our
men
begann
to
shoote
againe
:
but
it
seemes
the
Ennemie
fore-seeing
an
other
storme
,
and
for
the
prevention
off
a
further
daunger
,
tooke
hold
off
this
oppertunity
,
calls
for
a
parly
,
and
desired
that
one
or
two
of
them
might
speake
with
his
Ex
cie
:
which
Sr:
r
:
Ieames
graunting
,
caused
his
men
to
leave
shooting
,
and
sent
word
to
the
French
approches
,
that
they
wold
doe
the
like
also
,
so
his
Ex
cie
:
sent
downe
Sariant
Maiour
Generall
Monsieur
Witz
,
into
the
approches
and
hostages
were
sent
out
and
in
,
and

Articles
of
Composition
agreed
on
,
and
accordingly
performed
on

According

the

and
sickmen
,
their

and
baggage

which
brought
them
to
the
Marquesse
Sancte

Armie
.
A
great
many
of
them
taking
their
leaves
of
their
frends

were

and
in

shott

The

Count
Papenheym
having
marched
to
a
village
called
Esder
neere
vnto
a
litle
towne
called
Vysell
attempted
to
have
put
a
bridge
over
the
Maze
,
to
have
hindred
,
and
cutt
of
our
provisions
betweene
Luke
&
our
Army
:
but
hearing
that
Mastricht
was
come
to
a
parly
,
that
his
Ex
cie
:
had
sent
some
forces
to
prevent
him
,
&
that
the
boores
round
about
rose
vp
in
Armes
against
him
,
not
willing
to
suffer
the
insolences
of
his
Souldiers
,
who
neere
visell
had
murthered
some
of
their
pesants
,
in
revenge
whereof
,
the
bores
cutt
the
throats
of
some
of
his
stragglars
,
he
bethought
himselfe
,
and
returned
back
againe
to
his
owne
quarters
.
The
25.
a
daye
of
thankgiving
was
solemnized
to
God
the
Authour
,
and
giver
of
this
Victorie
.
The
26.
Papenheym
marched
againe
with
6
or
7
thousand
men
into
the
Countrie
,
to
pillage
&
plunder
yt
.
where
his
men
committed
cruell
Insolences
,
breaking
vp
Churches
,
Cloisters
,
&
Gentlemens
houses
,
spared
not
the
Romish
Catholiques
themselves
,
especially
his
men
payd
those
of
the
Reformed
Religion
.
Among
the
rest
some
of
his
Officers
&
Souldiers
fell
vpon
a
Gentlemans
house
,
brooke
vp
their
Chests
,
Truncks
,
and
Cubbarts
,
and
tooke
aboue
20000
gilders
in
ready
coyne
from
him
;
this
did
not
onely
content
them
,
but
also
to
satiate
their
fylthy
lusts
(
ô
horrible
villany
)
ravished
his
wife
,
and
daughters
:
notwithstanding
the
many
teares
&
cryes
they
made
vnto
them
for
the
preserving
of
their
chastetie
.
The
27.
Sancta
Croce
removed
part
of
his
quarter
from
the
Hooght
Cloister
and
came
and
laye
with
some
off
his
men
neerer
Stockham
to
guard
his
bridge
,
which
was
layd
over
the
Maze
,
to
goe
into
,
and
to
come
from
Count
Papenheyms
quarter
.
The
31.
the
Duke
of
Niewburch
came
againe
into
our
Armie
,
to
excuse
Papenheyms
coming
against
vs
,
now
hee
had
declared
himselfe
an
Enemy
,
aswell
in
his
owne
behalfe
as
in
the
Bishop
off
Cullens
,
but
they
sayd
hee
had
noe
great
audience
.
The
first
of
September
we
heard
there
was
agreat
contestation
betweene
Count
La
Motterie
,
the
Baron
of
Leyde
his
Vice
Gouvernour
,
and
Sancte
Croce
&
his
Spaynards
,
hitting
them
in
the
teeth
,
that
they
had
layne
there
all
that
whyle
,
and
attempted
nothing
for
the
reliefe
of
Mastricht
.
The
fifth
of
September
,
Papenheym
being
marched
awaye
towards
Cullen
,
Sancte
Croce
tooke
vp
his
bridg
,
and
lett
some
of
yt
drive
downe
the
streame
,
he
kept
it
a
daye
,
or
two
longer
,
fearing
least
wee
should
have
falne
in
the
brich
of
Papenheym
,
and
have
cutt
off
his
passage
.
The
next
day
he
marched
awaye
with
his
foote
towards
Diest
in
Brabant
,
leaving
his
horse
in
the
reere
of
his
quarters
:
His
Ex
cie
:
went
with
our
horse
,
to
see
his
going
off
,
and
some
of
our
horse
entertayned
skirmish
with
them
,
and
bulletts
changed
betweene
ours
,
and
their
centinells
.
And
thus
the
great
braggs
they
made
,
that
they
would
give
vs
battle
,
and
fight
with
vs
before
wee
came
home
,
came
to
nothing
.
The
Ennemy
being
gone
,
our
ordnance
were
drawne
off
from
all
Batteries
,
and
sett
in
order
in
our
quarter
.
Vpon
Sunday
the
5.
of
September
,
two
sermons
were
preached
in
Saint
Mathews
Church
in
Mastricht
:
There
was
a
great
auditorie
of
Souldiers
,
&
the
inhabitants
,
as
full
as
ever
the
church
cold
hold
.
After
the
fore
nones
sermon
was
ended
Mr:
Conrade
Merkinius
the
States
preacher
,
comming
downe
from
the
pulpit
,
there
was
an
old
woman
,
that
had
bin
of
the
Reformed
religion
all
her
life
time
,
&
whom
God
preserved
from
death
,
when
the
Prince
of
Parma
tooke
in
the
towne
with
an
assault
,
&
when
so
many
,
were
Masacred
&
drownd
in
it
by
the
Spanyards
.
This
good
soule
hearing
the
sound
of
the
Gospell
againe
in
Mastricht
,
was
so
over
ioyd
,
that
(
as
Symion
did
to
our
Saviour
)
shee
catched
the
preacher
in
her
armes
embrassed
him
,
and
blessed
God
for
yt
.
This
caused
also
a
great
reioycing
to
the
standers
by
,
which
made
some
of
them
shed
teares
,
&
weepe
for
ioye
This
night
towards
evening
his
Ex
cie
:
Comaunded
Monsieur
Stakenbrock
Lieutenant
Generall
of

&
Colonell
Pincen
,
who
comanded
the
foote
,
having
with
them
certaine
Dutch
companies
,
foure
peeces
of

,
two
Morters
,
and
sufficient
ammunition
,
laden
vpon
waggons
,
to
march
vnto
Limborch
,
sixe
dutch
miles
beyond
Mastricht
:
on
mundaye
morning
the
sixth
of
September
they
came
before
yt
,
made
a
Batterie
,
&
planted
their
Canon
vpon
the
Castle
,
which
by
nature
,
and
art
was
exceeding
stronge
,
&
scituated
vpon
a
sleepe
Hill
,
overlooking
the
towne
:
after
they
had
made
some
34
shott
against
the
Castle
,
they
came
to
aparly
and
yeelded
,
finding
in
yt
ten
or
twelve
peeces
of
good
ordnance
,
and
so
the
States
and
his
Ex

:
became
master
of
the
first
Dukedome
of
the
17
Provinces
,
It
is
a
montaynous
Country
,
and
full
of
high
hills
,
in
which
there
are
Mineralls
found
,
and
great
store
of
Calamine
stone
,
and
copper
,
it
is
credibly
reported
,
that
these
hills
,
especially
one
of
them
,
were
farmed
for
300000
gilders
yeerly
,
and
besides
that
,
this
Towne
and
Castle
brings
in
agreat
deale
of
Contribution
to
the
States
from
the
adiacent
Provinces
,
as
Namur
,
Luxenburch
,
litle
Brabant
,
&c.
Those
of
the
Towne
and
Castle
had
these
Articles
of
Composition
graunted
them
,
which
are
here
vnto
annexed
.
Thus
it
pleased
God
to
heare
the
prayers
of
his
faithfull
ones
,
and
to
honour
the
Land
,
and
his
Ex

:
so
,
that

these
two
Armies
which
