GEntle
Reader
before
we
come
to
relate
the
preparation
of
defence
taken
in
hand
by
the
noble
Lords
,
the
Estates
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
his
princely
Excellency
.
We
will
first
begin
to
speake
of
the
Army
conducted
by
the
Marquis
Spinola
,
whereof
some
three
months
past
a
great
rumor
went
,
aswell
by
taking
vp
of
new
forces
,
withdrawing
of
his
olde
Souldiers
,
as
also
his
marches
,
sieges
,
and
taking
in
of
the
towns
&
places
,
lying
in
the
countrie
of
Gulicke
,
Cleue
and
Berch
.
In
the
moneth
of
August
,
the
Marquis
hauing
gathered
an
Army
together
marched
from
Brabant
to
the
towne
of
Tongeren
,
and
so
to
Mastricke
,
where
he
increased
his
Armie
,
and
here
came
his
forces
from
all
places
marching
.
It
was
reported
his
campe
was
then
twentie
thousand
strong
aswell
horse
as
foot
.
From
thence
he
went
with
his
whole
Army
the
twentieth
of
August
,
marching
through
the
Country
of
Valkenburch
,
towards
the
town
of
Acon
or
Aken
;
before
which
he
came
the
two
and
twentieth
of
August
,
deuiding
his
Campe
in
three
quarters
,
the
one
at
Bortset
,
the
other
at
the
Townes
place
of
Execution
,
and
the
third
at
Saint
Sauiours
Hill
,
making
presentlie
his
batteries
close
vnder
the
Towne
,
charging
also
euery
Souldier
to
bring
fiue
fagots
to
assault
the
Towne
fiercelie
and
with
all
speed
,
seeming
to
be
somwhat
incensed
against
this
Towne
.
The
Romish
Catholikes
within
,
seeing
they
were
so
fiercelie
assaulted
,
fled
altogether
with
their
goods
into
the
Cloisters
.
And
those
of
the
reformed
Protestants
Religion
,
seeing
the
same
,
were
not
a
little
amased
,
and
thereupon
thought
it
fitte
to
conferre
with
him
;
whereunto
the
Marquisse
Spinola
seemed
to
bee
vnwilling
;
notwithstanding
at
the
entreaty
and
request
of
Graue
Henry
vanden
Berghe
,
the
Prior
of
the
Cloister
of
Acon
,
with
the
Abbesse
of
Bortset
,
who
at
three
seuerall
times
humbly
entreated
for
the
Citizens
or
Burgars
,
he
condiscended
to
a
Parlee
,
and
concluded
vpon
the
foure
and
twentieth
of
August
,
and
the
keyes
were
deliuered
into
his
handes
,
placing
for
Gouernour
of
the
Towne
the
Earle
of
Ritbergen
,
brother
vnto
the
Earle
of
Embden
;
permitting
the
Souldiers
,
who
on
the
behalfe
of
the
Brandenburger
lay
within
the
town
,
to
march
forth
with
their
full
Armes
,
flying
Ensignes
,
burning
matches
,
&c.
Placing
for
the
Garrison
of
the
Towne
fifteen
hundreth
new
entertained
Lutzenburgar
Souldiers
,
and
so
marched
forward
with
his
whole
Armie
towards
Dueren
.
The
which
those
of
the
town
vnderstanding
and
perceiuing
that
he
would
assault
them
,
durst
not
stay
his
comming
,
but
resolued
to
meet
him
,
and
deliuered
him
the
keyes
at
his
first
approach
,
and
so
yeelded
themselues
without
compulsion
or
any
shot
of
Canon
.
The
Marquis
placing
his
Souldiers
therin
,
and
so
instantlie
set
forward
towards
Berchem
:
Where
he
sent
part
of
his
Souldiers
towards
Collen
,
to
the
end
with
the
aide
of
the
Burgers
of
Collen
to
spoile
and
deface
the
Town
of
Mulhem
,
the
which
with
great
rage
of
the
Burgars
of
Collen
,
and
the
Soldiers
of
the
Marquis
Spinola
was
begun
,
and
after
that
they
had
beaten
downe
the
walles
,
they
instantlie
beganne
to
fall
vpon
the
new
houses
,
but
by
the
commandement
of
the
Newburger
,
vpon
paine
of
death
,
it
was
left
vndone
,
so
as
the
Protestant
inhabitants
remaine
as
yet
reasonable
peaceable
in
their
seuerall
houses
.
A
garrison
onelie
there
remaining
.
Then
hee
marched
forward
in
good
order
with
the
whole
Campe
through
the
countrie
of
Gulicke
towards
Rynbercke
,
where
when
he
came
,
hee
made
a
Bridge
ouer
the
Ryne
,
where
the
whole
Armie
of
the
Marquis
marched
ouer
,
ioining
themselues
to
the
forces
of
Lingen
and
Oldenseel
,
who
had
long
expected
his
comming
thither
,
marching
all
together
towards
Wesel
.
And
by
the
way
with
those
of
Gelder
and
Berck
,
he
went
towards
Orsoy
,
as
hereafter
followeth
.
There
first
entred
in
fiue
or
sixe
horsemen
of
Bercke
earely
in
the
morning
when
the
Milke
maides
went
out
,
and
for
that
there
was
but
slender
watch
held
,
they
kept
the
gates
,
and
the
other
being
presentlie
at
hand
,
marched
without
making
any
shot
,
hauing
by
them
two
peeces
of
Ordinance
,
and
about
sixe
hundred
men
strong
.
Then
the
Marquesse
marched
towardes
Wesel
,
and
betweene
the
riuer
of
Lip
and
Wesell
lyeth
strongly
entrenched
towards
the
field
side
of
Lip
,
neare
the
towne
.
And
then
a
great
part
of
the
Campe
in
all
haste
attempted
to
shoote
vpon
the
towne
,
and
by
force
to
compell
the
same
,
euen
as
with
all
speed
they
did
,
causing
such
a
feare
in
short
time
in
the
City
,
that
the
Burgars
who
being
couragious
,
with
that
hast
were
astonished
,
&
being
altogether
discouraged
,
found
it
conuenient
to
agree
with
the
Marquesse
,
which
happened
on
the
fifth
of
September
,
condicioning
libertie
of
religion
,
and
reseruing
their
old
priuiledges
,
but
the
Towne
should
be
kept
with
the
Garrison
of
the
Marquesse
Spinola
.
The
Ordnance
and
Munition
of
the
Brandeburger
beeing
in
the
Towne
,
some
daies
after
was
sent
downe
the
Ryne
,
towards
the
towne
of
Rees
,
after
long
conference
and
deliberation
thereabout
held
,
betweene
the
Marquesse
,
and
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
.
And
in
the
Marsh
before
Wesell
,
the
Marquesse
Spinola
hath
made
a
strong
Sconce
to
compell
the
towne
,
and
to
hinder
the
passages
of
shippes
by
the
Rhyne
.
As
also
three
halfe
moones
the
Marquesse
hath
caused
to
bee
made
before
the
three
gates
of
the
towne
,
placing
his
Centinells
or
the
outward
watches
toward
the
Campe
of
his
Excellency
of
Nassau
.
Now
shortly
after
that
the
Marques
had
gotten
Wesell
,
hee
purposed
to
haue
made
himselfe
Master
of
Rees
,
to
the
which
end
hee
had
already
sent
forces
,
but
his
excellency
was
come
there
about
an
houre
before
,
who
in
good
time
enuironed
the
towne
and
tooke
it
in
.
Also
it
happened
that
the
Marquesse
had
gotten
Santen
an
houre
before
that
his
Excellency
with
his
forces
came
there
.
And
euen
so
it
remaines
at
this
instant
with
the
Marquesse
Spinola
and
his
whole
army
.
Now
therefore
come
wee
to
speake
of
his
Excellency
of
Nassau
and
his
army
as
followeth
.

neere
towards

,
(
the

)
they
resolued
to

,
and

of
Emericke
with
the
forces
hee
had

presently
marching

towards
Rees
,
which
he
also
in
good
time
,
as
is
aforesaide
,
had

yea
and
had
not

vpon
the
comming
of
his

of
Great
Britaine
,
and
the
French
Kings
Embassadors
,
vpon
a
treaty
of
peace
,
the
Marquesse
certainely
might
haue
cast
his
cap
after
Wesell
.
Then
the
Gouernour
of
Nymegen
,
by
command
of
his
Princely
excellency
,
marched
out
the
tenth
of
September
towards
the
towne
of
Goch
,
with
three
great
Cannons
,
and
comming
about
the
village
of
Moock
,
there
came
to
him
fiue
companies
more
,
marching
in
hast
toward
Goch
aforesaid
,
presently
demanding
vp
the
towne
,
but
the
cleargy
would
not
yeeld
thereunto
:
the
Gouernour
vnderstanding
this
,
presently
caused
the
parcullise
of
the
gates
to
bee
set
on
fire
,
which
they
within
seeing
,
did
bulwarke
vp
the
gates
with
dung
&
other
dirt
,
but
the
Gouernour
presentlie
began
to
shoote
with
his
Ordnance
which
he
had
at
hand
,
and
to
assault
the
towne
:
the
burgars
seeing
he
was
so
furiously
bent
,
fearing
to
bee
surprised
,
made
composition
with
him
,
and
the
eleuenth
of
September
,
yeelded
vp
the
towne
vnto
him
,
who
presently
put
in
garrison
the
souldiers
of
the
Duke
of
Brandenburgh
.
The

this
said
Moneth
the
Gouernour

the
Towne
and
Castle
of
Gennep
which
he
presently

also
put

garrison
the
Brandenburgers
men
,
sending
also
some
forces
towards
Cleue
,
Rauesteyn
,
and
Sousbeck
.
From
the
Campe
where
his

first
assembled
,
he
sent
the
new
Souldiers
to
aide
the
Brandenburger
,
where
hee

Then
his
Excellency
caused
to

Embricke
ouer
the
Rhyne
,
where
the
new
Souldiers
marched

.
The

the
Northside
of
Rees
in
very
good
order
,
vnto
whom
dayly
more

His

the
halfe
Moone

of
Santen
,
and
Marien-bome
,
which
his

men
thinke

And

THE
DESCRIPTION
of
the
March
of
Count
HENRIE
of
Nassau
,
to
and
in
the
countries
of
Marck
,
as
he

,
also
is
hereunto
added
what
the
Souldiers
of
the
town
of
Gulicke
of
late
haue
effected
and
what
towns
they
haue
taken
.
AFter
that
his
Princelie
Excellencie
,
had
lain
a
certaine
time
between
the
Towne
of
Emerick
and
Rees
:
&
had
taken
those
Townes
before
named
,
also
the
places
and
Townes
which
his
Excellencie
caused
by
the
Gouernour
of
Nimmegen
,
to
bee
taken
,
and
garrisons
therein
to
bee
put
,
his
campe
in
the
meane
time
grew
stronger
both
with
horse
and
foote
,
which
came
from
all
quarters
.
And
hauing
this
strong
Armie
of
men
together
,
a
generall
Muster
was
made
,
which
the
Marquis
Spinola
hearing
,
thought
they
would
come
vpon
him
,
and
caused
instantlie
a
battery
to
be
made
on
the
way
of
Rees
:
he
had
a
day
before
also
,
sent
out
som
troopes
higher
vp
into
the
country
with
certain
Wagons
who
spoiled
and
robbed
the
poore
countrimen
of
all
that
they
had
,
to
the
ende
our
Souldiers
comming
thether
should
find
nothing
:
but
what
blessing
hee
got
thereby
of
the
poore
Countrymen
,
I
leaue
euery
one
to
iudge
.
The
Marquis
strengthning
himselfe
before
Wesell
,
and
not
comming
into
the
field
out
of
his
trenches
,
yet
his
Excellency
did
vndertake
some
thing
,
and
sent
his
brother
Count
Henry
of
Nassau
accompanied
with
a
good
troope
of
horse
and
foote
,
and
some
wagons
with
Ordinance
,
munition
and
victuals
to
the
countries
of
Marck
&
Rauensbergh
,
&c.
to
take
in
March
,
Ham
,
Vnna
,
Soest
,
Camen
,
Dortmondt
,
with
others
:
whereof
this
Count
Henry
hath
already
taken
manie
,
and
put
Garrisons
therin
.
They
report
also
that
Count
Henry
had
sent
some
Souldiers
towards
Borkelo
,
lying
(
between
Groll
and
Lochum
)
to
take
it
in
,
and
to
put
a
Garrison
therein
,
for
certaine
reasons
between
the
Earle
of
Stierum
,
and
those
of
the
towne
of
Munster
.
Neither
haue
those
of
Gulick
beene
idle
,
but
as
valiant
souldiers
haue
also
attempted
some
thing
,
and
the
newes
are
currant
that
they
haue
taken
in
these
places
following
,
namely
,
Linnich
,
Wassenberch
,
Rangelrayd
,

The
Marquis
seeing
the
course
of
his
victory
in
taking
of
the
Towne
of
Wesel
,
stayed
for
that
his
Princely
Excellencie
came
into
field
,
and
lay
so
close
vnder
his
wings
,
found
It
fit
for
the
first
to
make
strong
and
to
intrench
himselfe
,
endeauouring
to
make
a
strong
Fort
neare
to
the
Rhine
before
Wesell
,
whereunto
his
Souldiers
haue
as
greate
desire
as
a
thiefe
hath
to
bee
hanged
and
doe
plainely
say
this
,
we
make
for
our
enemy
,
as
wee
made
the
Skonce
of
Saint
Andrew
.
Also
they
say
,
that
the
Marquis
(
because
hee
will
not
make
the
Burgers
of
Wesell
altogether
his
bitter
enemies
)
hath
consented
that
the
Souldiers
lying
in
the
houses
shall
buye
and
prouide
their
owne
victuals
:
for
the
which
those
of
the
towne
must
euerie
weeke
disburse
two
thousand
Gilders
,
euery
one
according
to
his
ability
.
Moreouer
,
there
is
newes
come
out
of
the
Campe
of
the
Marquis
Spinola
,
that
the
Regiment
of
the
Colonell
Palant
,
being
strong
;
about
twelue
companies
with
three
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
is
marched
towards
Venlo
and
Geldor
,
and
it
is
thought
they
goe
to
take
the
other
remaining
small
townes
,
namely
Brughe
,
Dulken
,
Dalen
and
Glabberck
.
In
fine
,
euery
one
hath
a
snatch
at
that
he
can
gette
,
but
the
poore
countriman
must
looke
to
himselfe
,
therefore
the
olde
Prouerbe
is
true
,
euery
one
for
himselfe
.
It
is
reported
also
that
his
excellency
will
attempt
some
other
matter
of
no
small
moment
,
but
where
and
what
,
the
time
will
shew
.
There
is
preparation
in
hand
to
make
a
stronger
bridge
of
shippes
for
the
passage
of
wagons
ouer
the
Ryne
:
and
according
to
that
preparation
:
It
is
also
thought
hee
will
march
higher
vp
the
Ryne
then
Rees
.
Aliquid
latet
quod
non
patet
.
The
Clergy
haue
procured
and
effected
so
much
this
yeare
,
for
to
aide
his
Holinesse
louing
new-borne
sonne
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
that
a
multitude
of
men
are
already
come
to
the
field
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Marquis
Spinola
,
who
haue
already
vtterly
vndone
many
thousand
poore
men
.
But
what
confusion
of
seuerall
nations
of
people
,
hee
to
aid
the
Newburger
bringeth
into
the
country
he
himselfe
doubtlesse
will
find
in
time
.
If
he
had
had
such
a
prosperous
cesse
as
he
had
in
the
beginning
,
he
had
gone
more
forward
in
his
designes
,
and
also
the
Arch-Duke
should
haue
gained
more
by
his
twelue
years
truce
,
then
by
a
long
continuall
warre
,
and
hee
had
had
fit
time
in
these
fiue
yeares
to
haue
made
conquest
of
these
countries
,
beeing
friends
to
the
vnited
Prouinces
:
and
then
to
come
vpon
vs
