A
TRVE
RELATION
of
the
late
proceadings
of
the
States
Armie
in
Flaunders
,
and
of
the
late
seruice
done
and
performed
by
them
against
the
Spanniardes
,
the
two
and
twentith
of
Iune
last
past
.
1600.
THe
Tweluth
of
Iune
last
past
,
(
after
the
computation
of
Englande
)
the
States
of
the
lowe
Cuntries
landed
in
Flaunders
,
néere
to
a
place
called
Burfleete
,
and
in
Nine
dayes
march
,
they
came
from
thence
to
Ostende
:
where
after
the
taking
of
certaine
Sconces
,
the
Count
Maurice
laide
siege
,
to
the
Towne
of
Newport
,
purposing
to
fortifie
him selfe
in
such
sort
,
as
not
to
be
easily
remoued
:
howbeit
▪
such
was
the
great
care
and
dilligence
of
the
Enemie
to
preuent
them
,
as
the
Arch-Duke
came
himselfe
in
person
to
giue
them
Battaile
.
But
the
suddaine
and
speadie
comming
of
the
Enemie
caused
the
States
Armie
(
not
being
well
setled
in
the
siege
)
to
remoue
thence
,
and
to
encounter
the
Enemie
,
who
then
marched
towardes
them
with
great
furie
,
they
being
the
rather
incouraged
thereto
,
by
reason
of
an
ouerthrow
giuen
to
two
Thowsande
Scots
(
being
the
States
men
of
warre
)
the
same
morning
,
which
Scottes
were
vnder
the
Conducte
or
leading
of
the
Count
ERNESTVS
,
who
was
sent
before
to
preuent
the
passage
of
the
Enemie
by
the
way
.
After
this
,
both
the
Armies
being
ordred
&
placed
in
Battaile
array
,
and
each
of
them
within
sight
of
other
:
they
paused
a
while
who
should
beginne
the
fight
,
or
giue
the
first
onset
:
at
length
the
Enemie
impatient
of
delayes
,
and
incouraged
with
the
former
victorie
obtained
against
the
Scots
,
advaunced
themselues
forwardes
,
displaide
their
Ensignes
,
and
gaue
the
Charge
:
which
was
entertained
with
such
resollution
on
the
States
side
,
as
they
were
forced
to
a
retreat
,
and
were
pursued
till
they
had
gayned
some
places
of
aduantage
.
Their
Horses
chardging
the
States
men
in
flancke
,
whose
secondes
fayling
them
,
they
were
inforced
to
retire
:
But
making
presently
a
stande
,
they
forced
the
Enemy
to
a
second
Retreat
,
which
was
then
so
hottely
followed
by
the
States
men
,
and
with
such
great
courage
and
resollution
,
that
they
had
the
aduauntage
in
slaughtering
and
killing
of
the
Enemie
,
from
the
Hauen
of
Newport
,
to
the
walles
of
Ostende
.
In
this
Battaile
,
the
Englishmen
had
the
Van-guarde
,
commaunded
by
Sir
Fraunces
Vere
and
his
Brother
.
The
Honor
of
the
Victorie
that
day
,
was
whollie
ascrybed
to
the
English-men
.
In
this
fight
were
slaine
,
fiue
English
Captaines
,
besides
other
Captaines
and
Officers
that
were
hurt
,
Sir
Fraunces
Vere
himselfe
was
hurt
in
the
Legge
and
Thighes
,
and
my
Lorde
Gray
was
hurt
in
the
face
with
a
Sworde
.
Of
the
States
men
(
of
all
sortes
)
there
were
slaine
,
more
then
two
Thousande
,
and
as
many
more
sore
hurt
and
grieuously
wounded
.
Of
the
Enemies
parte
,
it
is
crediblie
reported
,
that
there
was
aboue
foure
thousande
slaine
,
and
aboue
a
thousande
taken
prisoners
,
besides
many
that
were
hurt
and
wounded
.
The
Enemies
Armie
consisted
as
it
was
reported
in
seauen
or
Eight
Thousande
footemen
,
and
Seauentéene
Cornets
of
Horsemen
,
and
were
devided
into
thrée
squadrons
,
whereof
the
first
being
Spaniardes
,
and
were
conducted
by
Danlois
de
Villeers
,
Don
Iasper
de
Sapena
,
and
Ieronimo
denauroy
.
The
first
two
were
taken
Prisoners
,
&
the
thirde
of
them
is
not
as
yet
hearde
of
.
The
seconde
squadron
were
Wallons
,
and
were
conducted
by
one
La
Berlotte
Don
Alfonso
and
Bostock
,
Nephew
to
sir
William
Stanley
,
whereof
La
Berlot
and
Bostock
were
both
slaine
.
The
Thirde
Squadron
were
Flemminges
,
and
were
vnder
the
commaunde
of
one
Backwrie
,
who
was
also
slaine
at
that
time
.
The
Admirall
of
Aragon
is
taken
Prisoner
,
and
it
is
verely
thought
that
Sir
William
Stanley
is
slaine
.
The
Spanniardes
lost
their
Ordinances
,
(
being
some
Eight
great
pieces
in
the
whole
)
and
the
Arch-Duke
himselfe
lost
all
his
own
Plate
and
Baggage
.
The
fighte
continued
from
one
of
the
Clocke
in
the
morning
,
till
fiue
in
the
after
Noone
of
the
same
day
.
The
Spaniardes
lost
in
this
seruice
,
aboue
an
hundred
Ensignes
,
as
is
most
certainly
knowne
.
The
Arch-Duke
himselfe
fled
into
Bridges
,
and
so
escaped
away
very
bardely
,
he
being
somewhat
hurt
as
it
is
supposed
.
The
States
Armie
is
now
before
Newport
,
and
the
place
as
it
is
thought
,
rendred
vp
to
the
States
before
this
time
.
