A
PRODIGIOVS
Eruption
of
Fire
,
which
exhaled
in
the
middest
of
the
Ocean
sea
,
over
against
the
Isle
of
Saint
Michael
,
one
of
the
Tercera's
,
and
the
new
Island
which
it
hath
made
.
It
tooke
beginning
the
third
of
Iuly
of
this
present
yeare
1638.
BEtwixt
the
Tercera's
Islands
,
so
known
to
those
who
saile
to
the
East
and
West
Indies
and
to
Brasile
,
there
is
a
site
of
water
in
the
midst
of
the
sea
,
distant
two
leagues
from
the
Island
of
Saint
Michael
,
which
the
adjoining
inhabitants
call
Ferraria
,
so
abounding
with
fish
,
that
it
is
doubtfull
whether
there
bee
any
place
more
plentifull
in
all
the
seas
.
In
this
place
nature
hath
wrought
the
most
portentous
case
that
the
ages
have
seen
,
it
was
thus
;
On
the
third
of
the
last
Iuly
,
within
the
bottome
of
the
sea
,
which
in
the
sayd
place
is
one
hundred
and
fifty
fadomes
deepe
,
like
the
springing
of
a
mine
,
with
a
horrible
noyse
and
great
horror
,
a
space
of
earth
separated
it self
,
which
would
take
the
sowing
of
halfe
a
bushell
of
wheate
,
with
the
vehemencie
and
force
of
an
impetuous
fire
,
against
which
all
the
waters
of
the
ocean
sea
it selfe
could
make
no
resistance
,
casting
up
to
the
clouds
the
water
and
earth
in
severed
parts
,
as
it
were
burning
torches
,
and
very
great
stones
,
some
whereof
ascending
while
others
descended
,
and
so
encountring
each
other
,
returned
by
vertue
of
the
new
impulse
to
fly
up
more
than
three
pikes
high
:
others
dissolved
in
pieces
,
did
fly
as
if
they
had
sailed
large
distances
,
and
the
broken
pieces
beeing
handled
,
dissolved
into
blacke
ashes
,
and
all
that
circuit
of
water
changing
its
nature
,
like
withered
and
dry
wood
,
ministreth
matter
if
not
aliment
to
the
fire
,
which
without
ceasing
doth
continue
burning
.
A
fatall
wonder
,
which
is
so
much
the
more
,
to
see
that
with
the
multitude
of
stones
which
the
fire
hath
cast
up
,
there
is
composed
and
formed
a
new
Island
,
which
takes
up
a
league
and
a
half
in
length
,
and
is
threescore
fadomes
high
,
and
it
did
continue
its
augmentation
and
burning
until
the
tenth
day
of
the
sayd
Iuly
,
as
appeareth
by
an
assured
relation
which
was
sent
to
his
Majesty
,
whom
God
protect
,
and
is
in
the
registry
of
State
belonging
to
Portugall
.
All
the
fish
which
were
within
more
than
eight
leagues
distance
round
about
,
died
consumed
,
and
made
worth
nothing
;
and
the
sea
cast
forth
upon
the
shores
of
the
Island
of
Saint
Michael
so
great
a
quantity
,
that
it
would
have
filled
many
of
those
ships
which
saile
to
the
East
Indies
:
and
lest
the
aire
should
bee
infected
,
they
made
great
pits
in
which
they
buried
them
.
All
the
sea
boyled
for
many
leagues
,
the
smell
of
the
brimstone
was
felt
by
the
most
remote
of
those
Islands
:
the
smoake
and
the
ashes
filled
the
aire
,
and
hid
the
light
of
the
Sunne
,
to
the
admiration
of
all
the
inhabitants
of
those
Islands
.
Before
this
fire
there
preceded
an
earthquake
,
which
continued
more
than
eight
dayes
,
perceived
in
all
those
seas
and
Islands
,
and
with
a
greater
noise
in
that
of
Saint
Michael
;
so
that
the
inhabitants
terrified
,
confounded
and
astonished
,
lest
they
should
perish
amidst
the
ruines
of
the
buildings
,
fled
into
the
fields
,
where
they
remained
for
some
days
,
confessing
,
fasting
,
and
making
processions
of
bloud
,
and
other
acts
of
penance
as
those
who
feared
to
to
die
,
either
drowned
with
the
Islands
themselves
,
or
consumed
and
burned
with
another
equall
fire
.
Our
Lord
God
was
pleased
that
the
wind
should
be
from
the
land
,
for
had
it
beene
from
sea
,
it
had
burned
all
the
townes
of
the
neighbouring
Islands
,
and
would
have
occasioned
another
cineration
like
that
which
hapned
in
those
parts
in
the
year
1630.
There
went
many
persons
to
sound
the
depth
of
that
place
,
and
they
have
found
that
it
hath
of
depth
in
the
sea
more
than
one
hundred
and
fifty
fadoms
.
Let
the
Speculative
ponder
,
and
the
philosopher
search
out
the
cause
of
so
portentuous
an
eff●ct
,
in
as
much
as
the
Mathematician
seekes
rects
for
his
judgement
,
and
the
Historian
knowledges
for
his
discourse

AFter
that
Duke
Bernhard
of
Saxon
Weymar
had
kept
his
general
Randevouze
the
27
of
Iuly
,
or
6
of

at
Langendentalingen
not

and
the
next
day
therupon
following
directed
his
march
towards
Kentzingen
,
and
pitched
his
Campe
neare
the
said
City
.
His
Highnes
received
intelligence
by
the
parties
,
which
he
had
sent
abroad
,
that
the
Imperiall
and
Bavarian
Armies
with
a
great
number
of
Wagons
,
laden
with
corne
,
meale
,
and
other
victuals
,
were
arrived
neare
the
Cloister
of
Shutteren
,
his
Highnes
broke
up
again
the
same
evening
with
his
whole
Army
,
&
marched
the
whole
night
,
till
unto
the
dawning
of
the
day
to
meet
them
,
and
on
Sunday
morning
being
the
29
of
Iuly
or

of

lighted
upon
both
the
Generall
Field-marshals
,
the
Duke
of
Savelly
,
and
Iohn
Count
of
Goetz
with
all
their
forces
not
far
from
the
aforesaid
Cloyster
of
Shutteren
neare
the
Village
of

,
assaulted
immediately
their
Sentinels
consisting
of
commanded
Horsemen
,
tooke
prisoners
a
Lieutenant
with
eight
horsemen
,
&
slew
some
more
of
them
,
and
the
rest
he
pursued
to
the
maine
Imperiall
Army
and
by
the
helpe
of
certain
commanded
troops
of
foot
,
consisting
for
the
most
part
of
French
,
took
two
passages
,
which
the
Imperiallists
had
strongly
guarded
,
and
slew
there
about
60
of
the
Imperial
souldiers
;
wherefore
the
Imperialists
to
hinder
and
to
prevent
a
farther
pursuite
,
thought
it
convenient
&
good
to
fire
the
aforesaid
Village
in
severall
places
;
both
the
Field-marshals
being
certified
of
the
unexpected
comming
of
his
Highnesse
,
Duke
Bernhard
of
Saxon
Weymar
and
his
suddaine
assault
,
did
beginne
to
march
in
good
order
with
their
whole
Army
and
Artillery
,
upon
an
high
and
very
advantageous
hill
hard
by
it
,
and
to
play
from
thence
with
their
Canons
upon
his
Highnesse
Forces
very
fiercely
and
without
ceasing
,
yet
being
their
Canons
plaid
too
high
without
any
great
effect
and
harme
;
And
that
they
were
answered
by
his
Highnesse
Canons
divers
times
,
although
not
so
fiercely
and
so
often
,
yet
with
more
effect
;
in
the
meane
time
the
Musquetiers
skirmished
one
against
another
,
insomuc●
that
the
same
forenoone
,
on
the
Imperiall
and
B●varian
side
,
as
they
themselves
confess'd
above
120.
men
were
slaine
;
but
on
his
Highnesse
side
not
ab●v●
20.
killed
,
and
about
30
wounded
.
And
although
the
French
troopes
,
that
were
there
,
seeing
they
had
so
good
successe
in
the
beginning
,
were
very
eager
to
climbe
up
the
Hill
,
and
to
assault
the
maine
Imperiall
Campe
,
yet
his
Highnesse
had
discry'd
already
,
that
without
great
danger
and
losse
,
nothing
could
be
effected
:
and
therefore
found
it
more
convenient
in
his
judgement
to
betake
himselfe
into
the
open
field
hardby
,
&
to
put
his
men
into
a
right
Battaile-array
,
hoping
that
the
abovesaid
Generall
Field-marshals
,
would
likewise
resolve
to
come
downe
upon
his
Highnesse
;
being
prompted
to
it
by
a
report
and
generall
rumour
of
long
continuance
that
Field-marshall
Goetz
desired
much
to
meet
the
Duke
Bernhard
upon
such
tearmes
.
His
Ex.
wished
nothing
else
but
the
like
occasion
:
But
being
both
generalls
were
loth
to
breake
forth
out
of
their
advantages
in
which
they
lay
,
and
desired
not
to
medle
further
with
his
Highnes
besides
that
which
had
passed
with
the
Cannons
and
small
skirmishes
aforementioned
,
his
Highnesse
about
noone
retired
somewhat
towards
Mohlburg
,
and
thereby
gave
the
more
occasion
to
both
generalls
Feild
Marshalls
to
betake
themselves
likewise
downe
from
the
advantageous
hill
,
upon
which
they
lay
.
The
night
following
was
spent
on
both
sides
with
alarum
,
and
the
next
munday
following
being
the
30
of
Iuly
,
the
9
of
August
:
his
Highnesse
caused
the
service
of
God
and
the
sermon
of
the
weeping
of
Christ
over
Ierusalem
(
which
the
day
before
by
reason
of
those
skirmishes
was
neglected
)
orderly
to
be
performed
:
and
whereas
in
the
conclusion
of
the
same
sermon
strong
proofe
was
produced
,
how
that
God
Almighty
who
is
a
God
of
long
sufferance
doth
forbeare
a
long
time
the
despisers
and
persecutors
of
his
holy
word
,
and
that
although
they
be
terrible
and
mighty
for
a
time
,
yet
causeth
them
at
last
to
bee
confounded
and
overthrowne
:
his
Highnesse
hereupon
tooke
finall
resolution
,
and
immediatly
thereupon
spoke
these
words
to
all
the
Cavalliers
that
were
present
,
that
without
further
delay
he
was
resolved
to
fall
upon
the
enemie
,
with
a
certaine
assurance
,
that
God
Almighty
would
grant
them
this
day
a
glorious
victorie
,
and
immediatly
thereupon
gave
order
for
the
whole
Armie
to
breake
up
,
and
assoone
as
his
Highnesse
had
din'd
,
immediatly
tooke
horse
,
his
Highnesse
having
received
certaine
intelligence
,
that
both
the
general
Feild-marishalls
with
all
their
forces
,
&
provision
were
already
marching
upwards
towards
the
river
of
Rhine
,
and
therefore
his
Highnesse
,
least
they
should
passe
by
and
attaine
to
their
end
(
the
victualling
of
the
City
and
Fort
of
Bryssack
)
made
the
more
haste
to
prevent
them
;
and
thereupon
presently
after
12
of
the
clock
at
noone
near
the
Village
of
Wittenweyer
(
where
his
Highnesse
the
last
yeare
had
his
sconce
and
Shipbridge
)
lighted
upon
the
aforesaid
Generalls
,
yet
the
said
Generalls
,
having
intelligence
before
of
his
comming
,
had
made
themselves
ready
in
all
things
and
therefore
gotten
the
advantage
of
the
ground
to
put
their
Army
in
battaile-aray
,
whereas
on
the
other
side
it
fell
heavie
and
troblesome
to
his
Highnesse
to
march
through
a
great
wood
and
over
a
small
Iland
,
moates
and
bridges
,
which
were
overgrown
with
thick
hedges
,
which
by
the
help
of
certaine
100
men
of
the
Imperiall
forces
if
not
totally
stopt
,
yet
for
a
certaine
time
might
much
have
hindred
him
,
but
being
his
Highnesse
found
there
no
opposition
,
hee
put
his
Artillery
and
the
troopes
,
which
he
had
got
over
there
,
at
the
end
of
the
aforesaid
wood
into
Battaglia
,
and
kept
them
close
together
,
till
he
had
brought
over
all
his
forces
and
could
give
in
a
right
order
a
full
assault
:
whereupon
the
shooting
with
the
Cannons
was
begun
on
both
sides
and
continued
with
great
eagernesse
,
insomuch
that
his
Highnesse
right
wing
(
which
was
lead
by
Generall
Major
Tupadell
)
because
the
Imperiall
and
Bavarian
right
wing
was
selected
and
consisted
of
the
choicest
of
their
forces
,
as
namely
of
the
currassiers
and
others
of
the
best
Regiments
,
was
beaten
back
a
great
way
,
and
forced
to
retire
as
farre
as
the
reserve
,
which
was
commanded
by
Colonell
Canofsky
;
and
being
the
same
stood
yet
somewhat
farre
behind
,
the
Imperialists
on
their
side
stood
in
hope
that
they
had
got
already
a
great
victory
,
but
that
joy
lasted
not
long
,
because
as
soone
as
the
aforesaid
Generall
Major
Tupadell
had
come
within
reach
of
the
said
Colonell
Canofsky
,
they
fell
on
againe
withall
possible
speed
upon
the
aforesaid
left
wing
,
and
put
the
same
so
hard
to
it
,
that
it
did
as
Generall
M●jor
Tupadell
afore
was
forced
to
do
,
to
looke
for
a
second
.
In
the
meane
time
Colonell
Rosal
who
together
with
the
Count
of
N●ssaw
and
the
Baron
of
Pulbus
lead
Duke
Bernhards
left
wing
,
chased
the
Savellish
and
Goetzish
right
wing
without
any
great
resistance
pell mel
into
their
owne
foote
forces
,
and
pursued
so
farre
after
them
,
that
the
Imperiall
party
had
great
losse
,
and
immediatly
thereupon
a
part
of
their
foote
Forces
beganne
to
betake
themselves
to
flight
:
In
the
meane
time
the
rest
of
the
Brigades
came
very
nigh
one
upon
another
,
and
yet
the
Imperiall
Musquetiers
would
not
give
fire
,
till
Duke
Bernhard
of
Weymar
had
drawne
certaine
small
troopes
out
of
his
Army
,
and
sent
them
close
up
to
the
Imperiall
Musquetiers
and
caused
bullets
to
be
changed
one
with
another
,
whereupon
the
maine
body
of
the
Army
came
one
upon
another
,
and
now
this
party
and
then
th'
other
party
was
assaulted
by
the
horse
men
,
and
then
seconded
againe
,
in
which
mixture
it
came
so
farre
,
that
at
last
they
did
beat
the
Musquets
one
about
another
heads
,
and
the
Goetzish
attained
of
Duke
Bernhards
Artilery
3.
peeces
shooting
a
bulled
of
12.
pound
,
and
foure
small
field
peeces
:
On
the
other
side
Duke
Bernhard
of
Weymar
got
into
his
power
all
the
Imperiall
and
Bavarian
Canons
,
together
with
all
the
Bullets
and
appurtenances
,
whereupon
both
sides
made
use
of
his
enemies
Canons
,
as
much
as
they
would
,
yet
with
this
remarkable
inequallty
,
that
the
Goetzish
being
they
were
not
provided
with
fitting
bullets
for
those
7
peeces
of
Ordnance
which
they
had
obtained
,
had
but
small
advantage
by
them
,
but
the
Weymarish
continually
and
with
a
remarkable
effect
could
shoote
:
Now
being
it
lasted
so
long
,
so
that
those
that
belonged
to
the
Artillery
were
quite
tired
,
a
part
of
Duke
Bernhards
horsemen
alighted
,
and
supplyed
the
office
of
the
tired
Constables
or
Gunners
and
carryed
away
the
praise
,
that
they
have
shot
extraordinary
well
:
Yet
notwithstanding
being
the
Imperiallists
had
still
fresh
supply
of
more
Forces
,
which
consisted
of
old
beaten
and
expert
Souldiers
,
and
found
in
the
Weymarish
the
like
,
they
fought
so
stoutly
on
both
sides
that
not
one
Squ●dron
,
except
it
was
drawn
off
by
force
,
did
leave
the
field
,
but
did
fight
so
valiantly
one
with
another
,
that
each
side
for
the
second
time
got
his
enemies
ground
,
in
somuch
that
the
victory
was
doubtfull
for
five
houres
together
,
at
last
they
fought
onely
by
way
of
Squadrons
and
Regiments
one
against
another
,
whereof
each
of
them
would
not
leave
the
field
,
till
it
was
beaten
out
of
it
by
maine
force
,
till
at
last
the
Goetzish
and
Savellish
betooke
themselves
to
flight
by
whole
troops
,
and
●ell
one
upon
anothers
baggage
,
and
begun
themselves
to
pillage
their
owne
;
but
the
Weymarish
followed
them
close
,
and
chased
them
away
from
it
,
and
parted
the
good
booty
amongst
themselves
,
and
by
that
meanes
divided
and
seperated
themselves
so
farre
one
from
another
,
that
Duke
Bernhard
of
Weymar
could
no
more
relye
upon
his
horsemen
,
but
onely
with
the
foot
forces
,
and
some
few
troopes
of
horse
maintained
the
place
of
fight
,
and
in
that
place
his
Highnesse
was
well
and
thankfully
contented
with
this
and
other
victories
,
which
it
had
pleased
God
Almighty
to
grant
unto
him
.
Now
when
it
was
come
so
farre
,
that
many
of
the
Commanders
wished
much
joy
to
his
Highnesse
of
that
glorious
victory
,
Generall
Major
Tupadell
was
urged
by
his
zeale
and
eagernesse
to
pursue
with
some
small
troops
of
his
men
after
the
fugitives
;
and
when
he
had
sent
his
troops
up
and
downe
,
here
and
there
,
and
thought
to
returne
backe
againe
with
some
few
men
thinking
that
no
more
of
the
Imperiall
and
Bavarian
troops
were
at
hand
:
he
was
met
unawares
by
an
Imperiall
troop
,
which
had
drawn
together
againe
,
and
thus
was
carried
away
prisoner
:
and
neere
the
very
place
of
fight
,
five
Imperiall
squadrons
of
horse
,
and
foure
of
foot
,
lay
yet
on
a
certaine
hill
,
and
a
very
advantagious
place
,
which
made
shew
,
as
if
they
would
defend
themselves
further
;
but
as
soone
as
the
maine
body
of
the
Wey-marish
Army
came
neere
unto
them
,
and
a
blinde
alarum
was
made
,
they
retired
immediatly
in
a
great
disorder
,
and
fled
towards
Offenburg
,
where
his
Excellence
Field-marshall
Goetz
himselfe
stayed
not
above
halfe
an
houre
,
but
with
sixe
wagons
loaden
with
baggage
,
which
of
all
the
rest
he
had
left
behinde
him
there
,
retired
yet
the
same
night
,
together
with
General
Major
Sknetter
,
Colonell
Geyling
,
Truekmuller
,
and
Reynach
towards
Overkerk
,
into
the
narrow
valley
,
where
his
Excellency
caused
divers
high
Officers
which
were
carried
away
from
the
place
of
fight
either
dead
,
or
dyed
by
the
way
,
to
be
buried
:
In
the
meane
time
the
wayes
and
passages
over
the
high
mountaines
,
(
called
the
Kniebis
)
which
were
stopped
by
cutting
downe
of
trees
,
he
caused
by
the
Country
people
to
be
opened
,
and
the
rest
of
his
and
the
Duke
of
Savellies
troopes
,
as
namely
1400
horse
.
and
900
foot
,
yet
all
in
a
great
confusion
,
to
march
through
the
said
passages
into
the
Country
of
Wirtenberg
,
and
immediately
thereupon
caused
the
said
wayes
and
passages
to
be
digged
up
againe
,
and
to
be
stopped
with
cutting
downe
of
trees
,
more
then
they
were
afore-time
.
On
the
other
side
,
his
Highnesse
Duke
Bernhard
of
Weymar
took
his
lodging
upon
the
place
of
fight
amongst
the
dead
and
wounded
,
where
the
enemy
in
the
beginning
stood
in
battell
aray
,
and
there
rested
with
joy
of
his
extraordinary
great
labour
,
which
he
had
that
day
,
because
he
himselfe
in
person
hath
brought
up
and
lead
on
almost
all
the
Squadrons
and
Brigads
,
and
many
times
he
was
in
the
midst
of
the
enemies
troops
,
and
was
knowne
by
many
of
the
Imperiall
Officers
,
which
called
him
by
his
name
,
and
craved
quarter
of
him
:
but
God
Almighty
hath
protected
his
Highnesse
so
farre
,
that
he
had
not
the
least
hurt
,
onely
upon
his
armour
he
had
got
two
slashes
.
His
Highnesse
motto
in
this
hot
and
bloudy
battell
was
,
Gott
mitt
vus
:
or
in
English
,
God
with
us
:
and
amongst
the
French
and
other
nations
then
present
in
the
battell
,
which
could
not
well
pronounce
the
German
language
,
their
motto
was
Emanuel
.
But
amongst
the
Goetzish
and
Savellish
,
they
called
Ferdinandus
:
the
victory
consisted
in
these
points
.
1
That
his
Highnesse
Duke
Bernard
of
Saxon
Weymar
recovered
againe
not
onely
all
his
Canons
,
which
the
Imperialists
during
the
battell
had
taken
from
him
,
but
also
taken
from
them
all
theirs
,
as
many
as
they
had
about
them
;
namely
,
two
Demi-Cannons
,
two
great
heavy
pieces
,
which
they
call
Boehlers
,
wherof
each
did
shoot
125
l.
bullet
,
three
Faulcons
,
two
Falconets
,
and
foure
Field-pieces
,
together
with
all
their
appurtenances
,
Bullets
,
Granadoes
,
Gunne-powder
and
Matches
,
which
consisted
of
a
great
quantity
;
as
also
many
wagons
loaden
with
all
manner
of
materials
two
Field-Smiths
,
and
all
necessaries
belonging
to
the
state
of
a
well
ordered
Artillery
,
together
with
all
the
Officers
and
men
belonging
thereunto
.
2
That
his
Highnesse
hath
obtained
all
the
victuals
and
provision
wherewith
the
City
and
Fort
of
Brysack
should
have
beene
relieved
together
with
all
the
wagons
that
belonged
thereunto
,
which
were
in
all
1000
in
number
.
3
That
his
Highnesse
hath
taken
from
the
Goetzish
and
Savellish
,
all
their
baggage
,
namely
2000
Wagons
and
Carts
,
amongst
which
were
many
faire
Coaches
,
with
a
very
rich
booty
,
and
especially
the
Chaunceries
and
letters
of
both
the
Generall
Field-Marshals
.
4
That
his
Highnesse
hath
taken
from
them
80
Standards
●nd
Ensignes
,
amongst
which
were
7
of
Generall
Field-Marshall
Goetz
,
his
Life
Regiment
of
Currassiers
,
which
are
very
faire
,
and
embroydered
with
silver
and
gold
,
and
of
other
Regiments
of
Currassiers
,
were
likewise
found
divers
standards
.
5
That
not
onely
above
1500
men
of
the
Imperiall
and
Bavarian
Army
were
slaine
upon
the
place
of
fight
,
but
also
a
great
number
of
them
chased
into
the
River
of
Rhine
and
drowned
:
many
yeelded
upon
discretion
,
and
tooke
service
under
Duke
Bernhard
of
Weymar
:
many
were
taken
prisoners
;
and
in
a
word
,
this
brave
Army
,
which
consisted
altogether
of
the
ancient
Regiments
,
at
least
12000
effective
strong
,
was
so
diminished
and
dispersed
,
that
as
above
said
,
not
above
2500
men
of
horse
and
foot
,
came
againe
to
their
Generals
,
but
how
many
wounded
and
hurt
men
are
amongst
them
,
is
not
yet
knowne
.
The
Imperiall
Field-Marshall
,
Duc
de
Savelly
,
was
shot
into
his
backe
,
and
narrowly
escaped
.
Colonell
Seneschall
is
taken
prisoner
,
Colonell
Meusell
,
Colonell
Hagshausen
,
Colonell
Sales
,
who
commanded
the
Brisigellish
:
Colonell
Stephan
Albert
,
who
commanded
the
Tyllish
:
and
Colonell
de
Puis
,
who
commanded
the
Eppish
Regiment
,
as
also
Colonell
Limpach
,
and
as
it
is
generally
beleeved
,
Colonell
Edelstett
are
slaine
:
five
Lievetenant
Colonels
are
taken
prisoners
,
and
at
least
sixe
or
seven
slaine
.
Of
Sergeant
Majors
were
but
three
taken
prisoners
,
but
how
many
of
them
(
as
also
of
Captaines
of
horse
,
Captaines
of
foot
,
Lievetenants
,
Standard-bearers
,
Ancients
,
and
other
under
Officers
)
were
slaine
,
it
is
not
yet
perfectly
knowne
,
although
a
great
number
of
them
are
known
,
and
easily
may
be
guessed
at
by
the
precedent
relation
.
Sergeant
Major
Vivario
was
buried
at
Overkerk
,
besides
other
officers
:
and
it
is
certaine
that
a
great
number
of
the
Imperiall
Officers
are
taken
prisoners
,
even
the
Rosich
Regiment
alone
hath
taken
above
100.
amongst
which
the
meanest
are
quarter-masters
;
but
the
reason
why
the
whole
number
of
all
the
Regiments
could
not
be
drawn
together
and
here
named
,
is
,
because
the
Regiments
continued
together
no
longer
,
but
one
whole
day
,
but
were
partly
by
his
Highnesse
,
D.
Bernard
of
Weymar
commanded
to
pursue
further
after
the
enemy
,
and
the
most
part
of
them
sent
here
and
there
into
their
quarters
for
the
better
conveniency
of
getting
sorrage
for
the
horses
.
His
Highnesse
Duke
Bernard
of
Weymar
in
this
great
and
violent
re-encounter
,
hath
lost
on
his
side
fourteene
Ensignes
,
and
eight
Standards
,
two
Majors
,
as
namely
Major
Weyersheim
of
the
Tupadellish
Regiment
of
horse
,
and
Major
Vitzthumb
of
the
Hatsteinish
Regiment
of
foot
,
together
with
eight
or
nine
Captaines
of
horse
and
foot
,
and
certaine
under
Officers
,
as
also
about
500
common
Horsemen
and
Souldiers
,
whose
number
was
so
largely
supplyed
and
made
up
againe
by
the
prisoners
,
that
tooke
service
willingly
,
that
,
as
it
was
openly
seene
,
the
greater
part
of
his
Highnesses
Regiments
of
Foote
marched
off
from
the
place
of
fight
certaine
100
men
stronger
then
they
were
,
when
they
went
thither
.
The
Imperiallists
in
their
retreate
carryed
away
prisoners
as
above
said
Generall
Major
Tupapell
,
Lieutenant
Colonell
Ruht
of
the
Vorbufish
Regiment
,
foure
Captaines
of
Horse
,
and
three
or
foure
Captaines
of
Foote
,
together
with
certaine
Lieutenants
,
Standard
bearers
and
Ancients
,
which
within
few
daies
shall
bee
redeemed
againe
by
exchange
.
And
on
his
Highnesse
side
in
this
first
occasion
hath
beene
wounded
most
dangerously
,
Colonell
Rotenhan
a
valiant
Souldier
,
Lieutenant
Colonell
Rhinegrave
Iohn
Lodowick
,
Lieutenant
Colonell
Fleckenstein
,
Major
Rosa
,
Major
Prestin
,
but
now
,
God
bee
thanked
,
they
are
all
without
danger
of
their
lives
,
Colonell
Rosa
,
and
Colonell
Count
William
Otto
of
Nassaw
have
likewise
beene
shot
,
notwithstanding
they
did
not
leave
their
Office
,
but
still
kept
on
Horseback
,
and
performed
their
service
:
On
Teuesday
following
being
the
31
of
Iuly
his
Highnesse
,
Duke
Bernhard
of
Weymar
caused
first

Army
,
as
also
all
the
chiefe
of
the
enemies
Officers
,
that
could
bee
knowne
to
bee

buried
.
In
like
manner
his
Highnes
gave
order
,
that
provision
should
be
made
,
that
for
the
hurt
and
wounded
,
&
they
were

in
severall
places
,
afterwards

with
all
the
provision
in
them
,
and
sent
for
all
his
Baggage
to
be
brought
unto
him
from
Mohlburg
upon
the
place
of
fight
:
On

11
of

,
(
to
the

glory
of

,
who
had
granted
so
glorious
a
victory
by
the
whol
Army
)
a
solemne
Fast

,
was
kept
where
the
Hymne
,
Prayer
,
and
the
Annunciation
of
the
blessings
of
the
most
High
God
did
sound
about
through
the
whole
Campe
,
by
every
Regiment
severally
:
And
with
his
Highnes
,
were
present
all
the
Colonels
and
chiefest
Officers
,
and
together
with
Him
they
sung
hartily
the
124
Psalme
:
If
God

not
bin
on

side
&c.
afterwards
after
the
hearing
of
the
word
of
God
,
hee
presented

upon
his
knees
under
the
open
sky
,
and
by
speciall
praiers
gave
hearty
thankes
unto
God
Almightie
,
and
thereupon
Te

Laudamus
was
joyfully
sounded
,
and
with
all
submission
were
presented
unto
his
Highnesse
,
by
every
Regiment
particularly
,
the
Standards
and
Ensignes
,
which
they
had
obtained
,
and
did
hang
them
up
before
his
Tent
,
which
(
being
many
new
and
faire
Standards
and
Ensignes
)
was
very
stately
and
sumptuous
to
looke
upon
.
After
all
this
his

first
of

FROM
THE
CAMPE
BEFORE
BRISACK
,
the
19.
or
29.
of
September
,
1638.
IT
being
noised
in
the
Camp
that
some
hundreds
of
Crabats
,
with
certaine
bushels
of
meale
behind
them
upon
their
horses
(
were
upon
a
designe
,
and
on
the
way
to
get
into
Brisacke
:
)
all
passages
were
blocked
up
,
and
carefully
watched
,
that
they
cannot
easily
steale
into
the
town
:
we
labour
hard
to
fortifie
the
Campe
on
this
side
of
the
Rhine
:
namely
,
betwixt
Hechen
Helhing
,
and
Iringh
,
as
farre
as
the
ship
bridge
:
the
trenches
are
in
full
defence
(
betwixt
the
French
and
high
Dutch
quarter
)
by
twelve
Redoubts
,
which
are
all
well
furnished
with
Cannon
provision
and
ammunition
in
the
sconces
,
which
are
thirteen
in
number
,
are
made
Backhohse
,
furnace
,
and
other
works
.
In
a
word
,
his
Highnesse
the
Duke
Bernard
of
Weymar
,
takes
great
paines
to
get
the
City
for
the
Crowne
of
France
.
Here
in
the
Camp
we
have
abundance
of
all
manner
of
provision
.
And
his
Highnesse
Duke
Bernard
,
causes
the
souldiers
and
labourers
to
worke
day
and
night
in
the
approaches
.
The
souldiers
that
labour
,
receive
every
night
25
stivers
a
piece
,
and
the
Boores
10
stivers
.
The
other
day
was
brought
into
the
Campe
from
Newburg
,
two
great
Morter
pieces
,
and
foure
great
pieces
of
ordnance
,
every
one
of
them
carrying
a
bullet
of
twelve
pound
,
and
yesterday
there
was
brought
hither
foure
demy
Canons
.
The
besieged
shoot
fiercely
out
of
the
towne
,
because
they
are
well
provided
of
ammunition
,
but
hitherto
they
have
done
but
little
harme
with
their
artillery
.
The
fugitives
that
come
to
us
out
of
Brisacke
,
relate
unanimously
that
the
provision
which
was
brought
last
into
the
towne
,
is
almost
eaten
up
,
for
the
towne
cannot
spend
l●sse
then
25
Multers
of
corne
every
weeke
.
They
relate
also
that
every
souldier
receives
no
more
then
halfe
a
pound
of
bread
a
day
:
of
Cattell
they
have
no
want
.
Yesterday
nine
of
our
horsemen
went
close
to
the
City
of
Brisacke
,
and
brought
with
them
out
of
the
pasture
62
Beefes
,
and
13
horses
.
We
likewise
have
intercepted
a
Spy
,

the

assaulted
the
two
upper
Sconces
,
whereof
one
lay
in
the
wood
,
and
the
other
about
Duke
Bernards
Rhine-bridge
,
and
they
were
faine
to
wade
through
a
moat
and
ditch
above
the
middle
,
afore
they
could
come
neere
the
Sconce
,
yet
at
last
they
mastered
it
,
and
put
all
the
Scots
that
lay
in
it
to
the
sword
,
and
thus
mastered
the
first
bridge
,
which
lay
over
an
arme
of
the
Rhine
,
and
thereupon
,
two
Imperiall
squadrons
about
1600
strong
,
passed
upon
the
head
bridge
of
the
Rhine
,
and
threw
off
a
part
of
it
,
lest
they
should
be
surprized
and
over-hastened
;
notwithstanding
Duke
Bernard
of
Weymar
commanded
thitherwards
Colonell
Shonbeck
,
with
certain
Regiments
of
horse
and
foot
,
which
immediately
with
boords
and
other
materials
,
repaired
the
Bridge
again
,
and
although
the
Goetzish
Muskettiers
gave
fierce
fire
upon
them
,
yet
at
last
they
were
beaten
backe
,
many
of
them
were
drowned
in
the
moat
,

the
rest
almost
all
slaine
and
taken
prisoners

very
few
escaped

lay
in

Wood
,
and
recovered
againe
the

,
the

forces
kept
strongly
guarded

Duke
Bernard
of
Weymar
commanded
against
it
at
night
a
Lievetenant
with
certaine
troops
of
horse
and
foot

He
found
the
Sconce
open
and
forsaken
,
insomuch
that
the
Goetzish
at
night
leaving
behinde
them
1600
dead
,

certaine
100
wounded

immediately
charged

especially
slanked
upon

,
Duke

surrounded
with
the

planted

the
Rhine
against
the
Sconce

they
assaulted
with

that
they
tooke
it
without
any
remarkable
losse
,
and
obtained
in
it
10
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
and
burned
downe
a

From
the
Campe
before
Brissack
the
14.
24
of
Oct.
This
morning
the
Imperiall
field-marshall
Goetz
,
and
Generall
Major
Lamboy
have
made
a
furious
assault
upon
the
Sconces
of
our
Camp
before
the
Ship-bridge
above
the
city
:
and
after
that
we
had
beaten
them
off
4
times
in
the
5
assault
,
they
became
Masters
of
2
Sconces
and
the
Spipbridge
,
and
had
got
above
400
men
upon
the
said
bridge
:
but
they
were
so
furiously
assaulted
by
the
Vicount
of
Turenne
with
his
French
troopes
,
that
they
were
not
only
forced
to
forsake
the
bridge
,
but
also
one
of
the
Sconces
that
they
had
taken
.
Almost
all
the
Imperialists
that
were
upon
the
bridge
have
beene
knocked
downe
without
mercy
;
and
it
is
certaine
that
the
enemy
in
those
assaults
hath
lost
above
1000
men
,
and
we
have
taken
prisoners
5
Captains
,
and
Colonell
Goling
and
Colonell
Newmarck
were
slaine
.
On
our
side
amongst
the
wounded
is
Colonell

Last
night
the
French
have
taken
Saint
Iacobs
Sconce
,
which
lyes
before
the
bridge
of
the
City

insomuch
that
we
are
now
wholly
masters

the
Rhine-bridge

Field-marshall
Goetz
is
retired
towards
the
black
Forrest
.
We
doe
not

that
the

doe
bring
into
their
quarters
many
silken
coats
,
and
wagons
loaden
with
musquets
and
Pikes
.
At
this
present
Field-marshall
Goetz
stands
again
in

By
all
appearance
he
will
venture
once
more
,

Yesterday
I
doubt
not
but
you
have
understood
out
of
my
Letter
,
the
victory
which
God
almightie
hath
granted
us
.
It
is
certaine
that
the
enemy
hath
lost
above
a
thousand
men
.
This
day
Armes
for
two
thousand
men
have
been
taken
up
,
which
the
Imperiallists
had
throwne
away
.
By
all
mens
judgement
Duke
Bernhard
by
his
owne
strength
could
not
have
bin
able
to
beat
the
