THE
IOVRNALL
OF
THE
SIEGE
OF
Bergen-vp-zoome
.
TO
omitte
that
which
being
besides
our
purpose
,
cannot
bee
expected
of
vs
;
namely
,
the
antiquity
of
this
towne
,
&
the
siege
of
it
by
the
Prince
of
Parma
,
1588.
both
which
may
bee
seene
in
our
Dutch
Stories
:
Wee
will
now
come
to
the
late
siege
of
the
Marquesse
Spinola
;
and
set
nothing
downe
,
but
what
we
haue
had
from
very
good
hands
,
or
haue
seene
our selues
.
The
Marquesse
Spinola
and
Don
Lewis
de
Valasco
,
hauing
gotten
Steenberghen
by
composition
;
the
conquered
Prouinces
of
the
Netherlands
reioyced
mightily
,
by
making
of
bone-fires
vpon
the
rumor
thereof
;
in
such
manner
,
as
if
the
fish
which
they
thought
to
catch
,
had
had
the
hooke
alreadie
in
his
jawes
.
The
Spanish
Forces
not
resting
here
,
went
presently
thereupon
the
eighteenth
of
Iuly
,
1622.
to
assault
Berghen-vp-Zome
,
and
fell
instantly
vpon
the
Horneworke
,
which
lyeth
neere
to
the
Rayberg
;
but
they
were
brauely
repulsed
by
the
Citizens
,
and
those
few
souldiers
which
were
left
within
the
same
.
The
Prince
hearing
this
newes
,
sent
immediately
out
of
his
Campe
neere
the
Rhyne
,
diuers
Companies
into
this
Citie
.
The
aforesaid
eighteenth
of
Iuly
,
being
holy
Munday
,
the
Enemie
began
(
according
to
their
custome
)
in
stead
of
ringing
the
Mary-bell
,
to
cry
out
ioyntly
,
Iesu
Maria
,
three
times
together
:
but
wee
not
vsed
to
such
songs
or
tunes
,
wondred
at
it
,
and
were
partly
afraid
,
not
knowing
what
they
meant
by
it
.
The
same
night
,
some
of
our
Garrison
went
to
take
possession
of
a
high
ground
,
without
the
Gate
towards
Steenberghen
.
The
nineteenth
of
Iuly
,
sixtie
of
our
horse
made
a
sally
,
intending
to
see
wherefore
they
cryed
out
the
last
night
behinde
the
Raybergh
.
The
Enemie
perceiuing
them
,
thought
to
sound
an
Alarum
with
their
Trumpets
;
but
our
horse
without
any
long
deliberation
set
vpon
them
,
and
tooke
two
Trumpetters
,
besides
seuen
or
eight
horse
,
and
brought
them
into
the
Citie
,
none
of
the
said
sixtie
horse
being
hurt
at
all
.
By
this
happie
attempt
our
courages
increased
:
and
when
we
espied
off
from
our
Steeple
,
the
aide
comming
vnto
vs
,
and
the
Enemie
then
ceasing
with
his
Ordnance
:
some
of
our
Garrison
cried
out
aloud
to
them
,
That
they
had
caried
their
Ordnance
to
the
Lombard
.
The
twentieth
and
one
and
twentieth
arriued
here
,
these
three
following
Regiments
,
viz.
of
the
Lord
of
Lockeren
,
of
Colonell
Hinderson
,
and
of
Colonell
Fama
;
so
that
our
Garrison
amounted
at
that
time
to
fiue
thousand
men
.
There
came
likewise
with
them
these
Enginers
,
namely
,
Captaine
Ralfe
Dexter
English-man
,
Mr.
Dauid
of
Orleans
,
Mr.
Tretorain
,
Mr.
Omkees
,
Mr.
Klair
,
Mr.
Byuordt
,
and
another
English-man
.
They
went
presently
,
hauing
aduised
with
Mounsieur
Rhyhouen
,
Gouernour
of
the
Citie
,
to
fortifie
the
olde
workes
and
raise
new
,
which
were
necessarie
for
defence
;
the
Rauelins
and
Lines
being
designed
out
,
were
in
one
night
raised
brest-high
,
and
the
next
night
perfected
and
brought
to
their
full
height
,
the
most
part
of
those
workes
being
made
without
the
Steenbergher
gate
,
for
without
the
gate
towards
Wowe
,
there
was
an
Horne-worke
begunne
foure
or
fiue
yeare
since
,
and
left
vnfinished
.
In
the
meane
time
,
our
Ordnance
mounted
vpon
the
North
sconse
,
to
Boere
Verdriet
,
and
the
Bosh-gate
,
was
night
and
day
discharged
vpon
our
Enemies
,
which
endammaged
them
exceedingly
,
as
not
discerning
as
yet
where
our
bullets
lighted
:
wherefore
they
made
a
defensiue
worke
of
Bavins
,
about
a
quarter
and
a
halfe
of
a
league
distant
from
the
Citie
,
vpon
the
way
towards
Halteren
.
The
two
and
twentieth
on
a
Friday
,
being
the
day
of
S.
Mary
Magdalen
,
our
Souldiers
went
with
three
thousand
foote
,
and
foure
troopes
of
horse
to
wake
the
Enemies
out
of
their
sleepe
.
They
marching
without
the
gate
towards
Wow
,
left
the
Garden
of
Mr.
Verwels
on
their
left
hand
,
and
the
Raybergh
on
their
right
;
and
entred
by
the
back-side
into
the
Quarter
of
Don
Lewis
de
Valasco
,
being
there
intrenched
.
Our
horse
hauing
giuen
a
signe
of
the
passage
found
,
both
the
English
and
Scots
came
on
very
furiously
:
and
the
Enemies
being
already
awakened
,
cried
out
Vienza
,
Vienza
;
and
ours
crying
out
,
Quickly
,
quickly
,
kill
,
kill
;
set
valiantly
vpon
the
Enemies
,
and
slew
many
of
them
;
and
hauing
spent
their
gunpowder
,
and
perceiuing
that
a
third
thousand
came
not
on
to
second
them
,
they
sounded
a
retreate
with
the
Drumme
(
being
deepely
entred
into
the
Enemies
Quarter
)
and
taking
their
way
behinde
the
hill
to
the
Citie
,
they
thanked
their
fellowes
for
the
succour
which
they
expected
.
We
vnderstood
afterwards
,
that
sundrie
Gentlemen
with
a
Sergeant
Maior
,
and
two
Captaines
,
besides
fiue
hundred
of
the
Enemies
souldiers
,
were
slaine
in
the
same
skirmish
:
on
our
side
Captaine
Seaton
was
killed
,
and
another
Captaine
hurt
,
besides
fiue
and
twentie
souldiers
slaine
;
but
our
men
brought
a
Cornet
with
his
men
into
the
Citie
.
In
the
meanetime
wee
laboured
very
hard
on
three
small
redoubts
,
which
in
a
right
line
lead
to
Kick-inde-Pot
:
the
new
Horne-worke
without
the
gate
towards
Wow
,
was
likewise
taken
in
hand
,
and
diuers
other
workes
made
higher
and
thicker
.
Without
the
gate
towards
Steenberghen
,
they
laboured
likewise
very
hard
on
the
Horne-worke
,
and
in
the
Quarters
of
the
Lord
of
Lockeren
and
Mounsieur
Fama
,
there
was
made
also
a
Line
of
an
hundred
and
sixtie
rods
,
(
euery
rod
containes
thirteene
foot
)
because
they
conceiued
the
Enemie
about
to
erect
two
batteries
behinde
the
Roffelbergh
,
on
this
side
of
the
Rysbergh
.
In
those
daies
,
the
enemies
considering
that
the
Garrison
discharged
their
Ordnance
vpon
them
,
and
sallied
forth
at
their
crying
of
Iesu
Maria
,
they
left
the
same
.
Whereupon
our
souldiers
mocked
them
,
saying
that
they
had
compelled
the
Enemies
to
forsake
their
redeemers
:
but
I
thinke
they
did
it
,
because
they
were
beaten
vpon
two
of
our
Ladies
daies
before
.
The
three
and
twentieth
of
Iuly
,
the
Enemie
began
to
play
with
his
Ordnance
,
without
the
gate
towards
Steenberghen
,
vpon
the
hauen
,
he
hit
likewise
sometimes
the
roofes
of
the
houses
within
the
city
,
the
tops
of
the
Ships
,
and
the
railes
of
a
Bridge
:
spending
that
day
three
and
twentie
shot
,
without
doing
any
great
hurt
.
The
same
night
the
city
wrought
hard
vpon
all
their
workes
;
and
principally
on
the
North
side
,
seeing
the
Spanish
Campe
erected
diuers
batteries
vpon
that
side
.
This
night
our
horse
sallied
forth
both
on
the
South
and
North
side
,
and
draue
away
his
sentinels
and
watches
,
causing
also
an
alarum
in
his
Campe
:
They
tooke
certaine
horse
,
and
prisoners
,
and
brought
them
into
the
city
,
so
that
they
were
in
some
trading
.
In
these
daies
there
came
to
vs
,
many
bauins
,
baskets
,
boards
,
beames
,
and
other
such
like
prouision
.
The
foure
and
twentieth
there
was
brought
to
vs
,
good
store
of
gunpowder
,
lead
,
matches
,
granades
,
fire
bals
,
and
other
munition
:
We
shot
the
same
day
fiercely
with
our
Muskets
,
seeing
the
Spanish
forces
began
to
approach
.
In
the
euening
about
ten
a
clocke
the
enemie
discharged
eight
cannon
shot
againe
,
so
that
certaine
women
which
were
not
vsed
to
the
roaring
of
the
Ordnance
,
grew
very
heauy
and
prepared
themselues
to
die
,
but
they
were
laught
at
.
At
the
same
time
also
,
some
few
left
the
city
for
feare
.
From
the
fiue
and
twentieth
vntill
the
eight
and
twentieth
,
there
was
done
nothing
of
any
moment
,
but
onely
that
our
workes
were
fortified
and
strengthned
daily
;
the
trees
without
the
citie
were
cut
downe
(
the
citizens
lending
their
hatchets
to
the
said
purpose
)
and
conueied
thither
.
There
sallied
now
and
then
a
few
at
a
time
forth
,
and
returned
with
prisoners
and
horses
.
The
enemie
also
hauing
gotten
more
forces
,
began
on
the
North
side
to
approach
,
creeping
and
crinckling
on
like
a
snake
.
The
fiue
and
twentieth
,
they
threatned
vs
,
that
they
would
beat
vs
quite
away
,
being
S.
Iames
his
day
,
for
the
honor
of
that
Saint
:
but
we
vnderstood
by
their
owne
souldiers
,
our
prisoners
,
that
the
same
day
one
of
our
Cannon
shot
,
slue
100.
of
the
enemies
.
The
eight
and
twentieth
and
nine
and
twentieth
,
the
Enemie
beganne
about
foure
a
clocke
in
the
morning
,
to
play
with
his
Ordnance
vpon
the
city
,
but
he
did
little
hurt
,
but
we
mighitly
endammaged
his
new
battery
with
our
shot
,
and
spoiled
one
of
his
peeces
.
August
.
The
first
of
August
80.
of
our
horse
sallied
forth
,
behinde
the
high
ground
,
taking
their
way
,
and
leauing
the
trenches
of
the
enemies
;
they
not
contenting
themselues
by
giuing
an
Alarum
vnto
the
Camp
,
slue
likewise
diuers
,
and
brought
sundrie
prisoners
and
horse
into
the
Citie
;
many
being
incited
by
their
good
successe
,
sued
daily
for
leaue
to
sally
forth
,
but
they
were
delayed
till
better
opportunitie
.
The
second
day
our
Ordnance
shot
cruelly
vpon
the
Spanish
Campe
,
thereupon
about
two
a
clocke
in
the
night
,
our
Garrison
with
fortie
Musketiers
sallied
forth
to
make
the
Enemies
to
rise
out
of
their
sleepe
,
and
slue
aboue
an
hundred
of
them
.
Whereupon
there
arose
likewise
an
Alarum
in
their
Campe
,
and
our
Garrison
continued
the
skirmish
with
them
,
vntill
the
afternoone
the
next
day
,
at
which
time
they
returned
victoriously
to
the
Citie
.
The
third
,
fourth
,
fift
,
and
sixt
,
there
was
nothing
done
but
working
vpon
the
fortifications
and
shooting
,
and
the
old
Maior
of
the
Citie
on
the
sixt
day
lost
both
his
legs
by
a
Cannon-shot
,
and
died
vpon
it
.
The
seuenth
and
eight
day
,
there
came
diuers
of
the
Enemies
souldiers
running
to
our
Citie
,
being
very
neere
two
hundred
.
The
ninth
day
,
some
of
our
souldiers
,
both
horse
and
foot
,
sallied
forth
behinde
Burghuliet
,
and
slue
there
diuers
of
the
enemies
,
beside
them
which
they
hurt
,
returning
home
;
and
although
they
were
not
ouer-loaden
with
bootie
,
they
yet
gaue
God
thankes
,
for
that
they
escaped
without
the
losse
of
any
man
,
which
happens
but
seldome
.
The
tenth
being
vpon
Saint
Laurence
day
,
there
was
an
Alarum
giuen
in
the
North
Quarter
,
but
it
was
not
knowne
at
the
same
time
within
the
Citie
:
there
came
at
the
same
instant
a
strong
conuoy
into
the
Enemies
Campe
,
with
all
kinde
of
warlike
prouision
:
this
night
they
laboured
hard
on
both
sides
at
their
fortifications
.
The
Enemie
gaue
a
token
in
the
North
,
that
hee
would
giue
vs
an
assault
;
wherefore
,
we
would
not
weaken
any
Quarter
,
to
make
it
destitute
of
necessary
defence
,
in
case
of
necessitie
.
The
tenth
and
eleuenth
we
sallied
forth
vpon
the
Enemie
,
and
skirmished
with
him
:
the
Captaine
Fryers
Lieutenant
behaued
himselfe
in
the
said
skirmish
as
valiantly
,
as
euer
any
souldier
did
in
our
time
,
and
offered
vp
his
soule
with
such
a
garland
of
Laurell
for
the
Country
:
likewise
Mounsieur
de
Preau
,
Cornet
of
Mounsieur
de
Mee
,
jealous
of
his
honour
,
went
with
him
to
the
heauenly
ioyes
,
leauing
the
rest
in
this
vnhappie
and
miserable
world
.
From
the
eleuenth
vntill
the
fourteenth
,
the
Enemie
shewed
himselfe
very
ciuill
and
peaceable
;
but
in
the
meane
time
our
Cannon
did
not
cease
.
The
fifteenth
,
there
was
made
a
halfe-moone
neere
vnto
the
corner
of
Beckaff
.
The
sixteenth
came
the
Enemie
in
the
night
,
about
ten
of
the
clocke
,
stealing
vnto
one
of
our
Sentinels
Perdu
,
hee
discharging
his
Musket
,
made
an
Alarum
,
and
retired
to
the
little
halfe-moone
,
neere
vnto
the
Horne-worke
of
of
Beckaff
,
being
closely
followed
by
the
enemies
;
vpon
his
arriuall
the
Pitch
was
presently
set
ouer
the
fire
,
and
they
paid
them
home
,
as
you
shall
heare
.
Captaine
Cary
,
Captaine
Ralfe
Dexter
,
and
all
other
Captaines
vnder
the
command
of
the
valiant
Colonell
Hinderson
,
ranged
themselues
presently
in
battell-array
,
to
resist
the
Spanish
forces
with
their
valour
:
the
Colonell
aforesaid
,
sent
likewise
some
to
the
little
halfe-moone
before
mentioned
,
to
aide
them
within
it
.
The
Enemie
being
very
furious
,
would
not
let
passe
twelue
a
clocke
,
for
the
day
before
was
the
Assumption
of
our
Lady
,
hoping
,
perhaps
,
thereby
to
haue
the
better
successe
.
We
being
yet
hardly
in
order
,
the
Enemie
came
,
without
making
any
noise
,
close
vnto
vs
,
but
as
soone
as
he
perceiued
our
bullets
,
hee
cried
loude
out
,
with
a
generall
crie
fuera
viliaco
:
The
besieged
cried
likewise
,
Take
the
Roague
,
kill
,
kill
,
so
that
the
skirmish
grew
very
hotte
:
but
the
Enemies
perceiuing
that
they
could
doe
no
good
with
their
furie
,
retired
quietly
by
the
side
of
the
halfe-moone
;
and
afterwards
set
presently
vpon
the
Garrison
againe
,
crying
as
they
did
before
;
but
they
were
likewise
beaten
backe
:
and
although
they
assaulted
the
said
halfe-moone
eight
times
,
and
got
twice
vpon
it
,
yet
were
they
continually
repulsed
;
at
euery
assault
the
Enemie
had
fresh
men
;
but
the
English
and
the
Scots
withstood
them
,
without
being
once
so
much
as
relieued
,
a
great
while
,
vntill
they
called
for
aide
,
and
were
presently
thereupon
seconded
by
the
Low-Country-men
,
whereupon
they
shot
together
so
fiercely
vpon
the
Enemies
,
that
they
gaue
ouer
the
halfe-moone
,
after
they
had
lost
many
hundreths
vpon
the
place
;
and
intrenched
themselues
behinde
the
same
worke
.
Whiles
this
fight
lasted
there
were
shot
three
thousand
Cannon
shot
(
namely
,
from
the
Bosh
gate
,
the
Horne-worke
,
and
the
Contrescarpe
at
the
Wow-gate
)
amongst
the
Enemies
,
and
did
for
the
most
part
light
vpon
the
Enemies
,
because
their
matches
were
seene
.
In
the
said
fight
was
the
valiant
and
generous
Collonell
Hinderson
,
shot
with
a
musket
in
the
vpper
part
of
his
thigh
,
standing
at
the
same
time
vpon
the
Rampeir
,
being
brauely
at
push
of
Pike
with
the
enemie
,
and
being
fallen
from
the
same
,
in
his
heauy
armour
,
he
was
carried
to
the
Hage
where
he
died
,
Captaine
Carie
and
the
Enginer
Captaine
Ralph
Dexter
,
went
likewise
the
same
way
(
after
they
had
valiantly
fought
)
besides
one
hundred
twenty
fiue
of
our
souldiers
.
This
fight
lasted
from
ten
in
the
euening
vntill
fiue
a
clocke
in
the
morning
.
The
enemie
lost
in
this
fight
one
Count
,
fiue
Captaines
,
diuers
Lieutenants
and
Ensigne-bearers
,
besides
eight
hundred
souldiers
.
The
same
day
there
was
a
cessation
of
armes
for
the
space
of
an
houre
agreed
of
,
to
burie
the
dead
on
both
sides
:
In
the
meane
time
,
the
Enemie
working
very
strong
,
contrary
to
the
agreement
,
we
discharged
our
Ordnance
vpon
them
,
and
slue
many
,
and
the
Enemie
doing
the
like
,
the
dead
were
for
certaine
daies
left
vnburied
.
We
perceiued
about
the
same
time
,
that
the
Enemie
was
verie
sorie
in
regard
of
the
misfortune
happened
vnto
him
,
and
would
seeke
meanes
to
reuenge
himselfe
.
In
those
daies
came
certaine
Switsers
besides
other
souldiers
into
the
citie
;
Likewise
the
Italians
which
lay
nere
vnto
the
Quarter
of
the
Lord
of
Lockeren
,
began
to
shoot
diuers
of
our
men
with
long
Harquebuses
through
the
heads
,
vsing
this
deuise
:
they
tied
greene
grasse
about
their
owne
heads
,
that
they
might
not
be
perceiued
,
when
they
looked
ouer
the
Rampeirs
to
shoot
,
for
they
seemed
only
like
some
greene
earth
cast
into
the
aire
.
But
afterwards
we
perceiuing
their
deuise
,
discharged
our
shot
vpon
the
grasse
aforesaid
,
striking
downe
the
same
many
times
,
with
the
head
,
and
whole
body
.
The
twentieth
being
Saint
Laurence
day
,
after
the
Vespers
were
sung
,
the
enemie
came
againe
about
ten
a
clocke
,
at
one
side
of
the
halfe
moone
,
and
would
by
force
leape
ouer
the
Ramparts
;
the
Swissers
which
were
lately
arriued
perceiuing
the
same
,
began
to
curse
and
sweare
,
daring
them
to
come
ouer
,
they
in
the
meane
time
thrust
fiercely
at
them
with
their
pikes
;
but
the
Swissers
slashed
them
againe
brauely
in
peeces
with
their
curtle-axes
.
This
fight
increasing
,
the
whole
quarter
rose
in
armes
,
and
discharged
certaine
thousands
of
Musket
shot
vpon
the
enemies
,
and
flung
granades
likewise
,
and
other
fire
workes
amongst
them
,
in
such
manner
that
the
enemie
lost
againe
aboue
500.
men
,
and
we
had
20.
slaine
,
and
about
50.
hurt
.
The
one
and
twentieth
came
six
Companies
into
the
City
;
and
the
enemie
shooting
very
cruelly
,
we
answered
them
with
the
like
;
It
was
the
same
day
resolued
in
the
citie
,
to
build
a
halfe
moone
vpon
the
hauen
,
betwixt
the
North
Sconse
and
the
citie
.
The
two
and
twentieth
,
three
and
twentieth
,
and
foure
and
twentieth
,
were
two
English
Ensignes
slaine
with
Musket
shot
,
the
one
being
hit
by
a
Fryer
,
who
was
very
skilfull
in
discharging
of
the
long
Harquebuse
.
The
same
day
there
went
two
troupes
of
horse
hence
towards
Breda
,

more
got
leaue
to
goe
by
land
thither
,
and
went
in
the
night
forth
from
the
Bosh
gate
,
riding
behinde
Burgvliet
and
arriued
the
next
day
at
Breda
,
with
18.
prisoners
;
almost
all
our
workes
without
the
city
were
perfected
at
the
same
time
,
but
yet
euery
day
we
laboured
hard
vpon
the
trauerses
or
trauers
lines
and
offcuttings
and
such
like
.
The
six
and
twentieth
and
seuen
and
twentieth
there
came
seuen
companies
into
the
Citie
with
Collonell
Morgan
,
the
Landgraue
Philips
of
Hessen
,
and
the
Yonker
William
of
Nassaw
,
so
that
the
Garrison
was
at
the
same
time
ten
thousand
strong
;
it
seemed
that
at
the
same
instant
,
the
enemie
would
attempt
something
on
the
waters
side
;
but
we
within
prepared
our selues
to
resist
him
.
In
those
daies
there
rose
an
Alarum
in
the
city
,
for
that
a
Corporall
with
10.
or
12.
souldiers
,
fell
about
noone
vpon
the
approaching
enemies
,
sallying
forth
out
of
the
Quarter
of
the
Lord
of
Lockeren
;
after
they
had
slaine
some
few
,
they
returned
all
safely
backe
,
bringing
away
diuers
Muskets
and
shouels
.
Collonell
Morgan
in
those
daies
with
a
Frenchman
being
Captaine
of
the
Trunckes
,
surueyed
all
the
workes
and
mines
:
those
Truncks
were
almost
all
made
in
two
or
three
daies
.
The
nine
and
twentieth
the
Enemie
made
a
worke
of
bauins
opposite
vnto
the
Coninsbergh
and
the
furthermost
halfe
moone
,
neere
vnto
the
new
horne-worke
aboue
the
Crabbe
sconse
:
Whereupon
we
shot
fiercely
and
cast
granades
and
fireworkes
vpon
the
Enemies
,
killing
aboue
an
hundred
of
them
,
and
burning
the
greater
part
of
their
bauins
,
before
our
retreat
.
The
Enemie
being
desirous
to
reuenge
this
spite
,
Don
Inigo
de
Brosgado
gaue
an
onset
vpon
a
little
halfe
moone
,
lying
at
the
quarter
of
Monsieur
Famaes
Quarter
without
the
line
:
Our
souldiers
beat
them
off
sundry
times
very
valiantly
,
with
musket
shot
and
granades
;
hereupon
the
Enemie
caused
his
horse
to
driue
them
on
againe
;
so
that
with
much
adoe
they
intrenched
themselues
at
last
behinde
the
said
little
halfe
moone
:
Our
souldiers
kept
the
Enemies
backe
,
with
granades
and
burning
of
straw
,
vntill
their
fellowes
had
pillaged
the
dead
.

,
besides
twentie

:
Moreouer
there
were

The
last
of
August
,
and
the
first
of
September
,
the
Enemy
would
approach
with
rowling
Trenches
about
the
Coninsbergh
,
but
hee
was
beaten
backe
.
The
2.
of
September
there
happened
a
Skirmish
in
the
out-workes
,
and
wee
droue
the
Enemies
with
our
Canon
and
Granades
,
out
of
some
of
their
formost
workes
,
taking
afterwards
with
vs
the
Instruments
which
they
left
behind
them
,
with
other
such
commodities
.
The
Enemy
lost
there
many
;
on
our
side
there
were
20.
slaine
,
and
12.
or
14.
hurt
.
The
same
Euening
the
Enemie
made
Boone-fires
(
in
regard
of
the
Victory
which
hee
pretended
that
Don
Cordua
had
gotten
against
Count
Mansfield
,
and
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
passing
through
Brabant
)
and
discharged
his
Ordnance
:
in
the
meane
time
the
Spanish
retreated
a
little
from
their
worke
on
the
Northside
,
and
our
Forces
getting
notice
thereof
,
went
presently
thither
and
pulled
it
downe
,
carrying
the
boards
and
other
materialls
into
their
Garrison
.
The
3.
wee
had
newes
from
Breda
,
of
Count
Mansfields
arriuall
there
:
in
the
euening
was
all
our
Cannon
as
well
within
as
without
the
City
,
discharged
to
welcome
Count
Mansfield
;
the
Enemy
answered
vs
with
8.
or
10.
Shot
.
The
same
night
our
Garison
inuaded
againe
the
Enemies
Workes
,
on
the
North
side
,
and
pulled
a
great
part
of
the
same
downe
to
the
ground
,
and
tooke
almost
all
the
Bavins
away
,
without
any
resistance
or
opposition
of
the
Enemies
.
The
4.
the
Enemy
assaulted
our
halfe
moone
on
the
North-side
foure
times
in
one
night
;
but
our
Garison
driuing
them
backe
,
assaulted
them
afterwards
in
their
owne
Campe
,
and
tooke
aboundance
of
Pikes
from
the
Enemies
,
and
burnt
great
store
of
their
Bavins
,
(
brought
thither
to
fortifie
withall
)
we
saw
30.
of
the
Spanish
Campe
lying
dead
vpon
the
ground
,
besides
others
which
lay
here
and
there
dispersed
;
wee
had
two
slaine
,
and
three
or
foure
hurt
.
The
5.
and
6.
there
happened
certaine
strange
Accidents
,
which
are
rehearsed
at
the
latter
end
of
this
Booke
.
The
7.
we
blew
vp
one
of
our
Mines
on
the
North
side
,
perceiuing
that
the
Enemie
had
likewise
one
there
,
which
also
burst
as
well
as
ours
;
wee
repair'd
our
Worke
presently
againe
,
and
lost
nothing
by
it
.
Our
Garison
went
the
same
euening
betwixt
ten
and
eleuen
a
clocke
towards
the
Enemies
Trenches
,
and
made
them
to
retire
close
to
their
Batteries
.
We
tooke
there
aboundance
of
Bauins
for
the
space
of
two
howers
together
,
and
destroyed
his
Gabion-baskets
,
with
sundry
other
workes
.
The
8.
day
in
the
afternoone
,
Don
Cordua
arriued
in
Spinola's
Campe
,
being
accompanied
with
56.
or
57.
Companies
,
and
certaine
Ordnance
to
strengthen
the
Siedge
.
We
heard
this
day
that
the
E●…my
was
raysing
a
Fort
at
Saint-Vliedt
,
a
place
lying
betwixt
Lillo
and
this
City
.
The
9.
wee
burnt
on
the
North
side
great
store
of
the
Enemies
Bauins
,
which
hee
had
brought
thither
to
aduance
his
approaches
.
The
10.
our
Garison
sallied
forth
againe
on
the
North
side
,
and
tooke
away
all
the
Bagges
of
the
Enemies
by
day
light
,
which
they
had
prepared
to
fill
vp
our
ditches
withall
,
and
to
assault
our
Workes
afterwards
,
they
are
filled
with
stones
,
and
so
bigge
,
that
a
man
hath
much
adoe
to
carry
one
of
them
.
The
eleuenth
and
12.
our
Souldiers
continued
both
in
the
North
and
South
side
of
this
City
,
to
endamage
the
Enemies
by
their
sallies
:
the
Workes
which
hee
made
in
the
night
,
we
spoyled
in
the
day
,
beating
him
out
of
his
Trenches
,
with
the
death
of
many
of
his
Souldiers
,
burning
some
of
his
Bauins
,
and
taking
away
the
rest
euen
in
our
owne
quarters
.
In
the
same
dayes
,
and
the
eight
next
following
,
there
came
20.
30.
or
40.
of
the
Enemies
dayly
running
vnto
vs
,
for
want
of
pay
,
as
they
told
vs
.
The
13.
and
14.
the
Enemy
shot
very
furiously
vpon
the
City
,
and
did
much
hurt
to
diuers
Houses
and
Steeples
;
but
God
be
praised
few
persons
were
hurt
:
This
night
hee
approached
with
a
Line
from
the
Wood
,
towards
the
great
Horne-worke
,
lying
South-west
from
the
City
;
but
wee
stayed
him
presently
with
a
Counter-line
.
The
14.
our
Soldiers
beat
the
Enemies
out
of
their
Trench
on
the
South-side
,
and
slew
all
that
they
could
meet
withall
,
and
finding
there
two
Barrels
of
Beere
,
dranke
them
both
quite
vp
,
and
so
hauing
gotten
some
booty
of
Apparell
and
Armes
,
they
returned
backe
againe
into
our
workes
.
The
15
in
the
night
,
the
English
and
Scots
,
vnder
the
Command
of
Collonel
Morgan
,
assaulted
the
Enemies
quarters
;
and
hauing
driuen
them
away
,
they
tarried
there
till
morning
,
and
eat
vp
all
their
prou●…t
,
and
cast
downe
50.
Roddes
of
the
Enemies
Line
,
which
hee
had
newly
begunne
;
but
the
next
night
the
enemies
wrought
on
the
same
againe
,
resoluing
to
finish
it
fully
.
But
it
is
a
very
memorable
thing
to
tel
;
an
English
Grey-hound
which
followed
his
Maister
when
hee
sallyed
forth
,
senting
and
snuffling
about
in
the
Enemies
quarter
,
found
there
a
Bagge
of
poysoned
Bullets
,
(
which
are
against
the
Law
of
Armes
)
and
brought
the
same
vnto
his
Maister
.
And
I
,
getting
some
of
them
of
the
Sergeant
Mayor
of
the
English
,
sent
them
to
my
friends
for
a
raritie
.
The
same
day
about
100.
of
our
Horse
of
Berghen
,
rode
forth
from
Breda
,
and
tooke
seuen
or
eight
Horse
of
the
Enemies
,
neere
Huysberghen
,
about
a
League
and
a
halfe
from
hence
,
lying
South-east
from
this
City
:
and
afterwards
they
sent
sundry
Troopes
close
to
the
Raybergh
,
and
brought
75.
Horse
into
Breda
.
The
16.
the
Enemy
blew
a
Mine
vp
on
the
North
d
e
,
whereby
two
of
ours
were
kild
,
and
foure
or
fiue
hurt
:
but
wee
set
presently
vpon
the
Enemies
,
and
caused
them
to
retire
.
The
17.
there
were
sent
hither
backe
againe
from
Breda
,
60.
of
our
Horse
,
which
lay
within
this
City
before
.
The
Enemy
at
this
time
threatned
vs
mightily
;
wherefore
there
was
order
giuen
,
that
all
the
Companies
should
tarry
for
the
space
of
eight
daies
without
the
Citty
;
whereas
they
in
former
time
returned
vsually
the
fourth
day
into
the
Towne
.
About
the
same
time
wee
got
many
Horses
of
the
Enemies
;
but
seeing
wee
wanted
pasture
for
them
,
there
were
many
times
good
Horses
sold
for
the
value
of
1.
2.
3.
or
4.
shilling
sterling
money
;
yea
,
the
English
bartered
them
away
sometimes
for
a
little
Tobacco
.
The
same
day
wee
laboured
on
both
sides
,
night
and
day
without
ceasing
,
and
principally
vnder
and
about
the
forsaken
halfe
moone
,
lying
in
the
South
part
of
the
City
,
vpon
the
corner
of
the
great
horne-worke
,
neere
vnto
the
Wood
;
both
wee
and
the
Enemies
hauing
vndermined
the
very
same
piece
:
but
our
Mine
was
eight
foot
deeper
then
theirs
.
About
the
euening
wee
blew
vp
a
counterfeited
or
false
Myne
,
which
wee
had
made
vpon
purpose
not
farre
from
the
other
:
the
Enemy
thereupon
thinking
,
and
vnderstanding
likewise
by
the
Runagates
,
that
our
Mine
was
blowne
vp
,
without
hauing
taken
any
effect
;
they
thought
to
make
vse
of
theirs
,
and
to
draw
our
men
thither
by
inticements
:
but
the
Foxe
had
inuited
the
Crane
,
as
the
Prouerbe
saith
.
Collonel
Morgan
hauing
sent
a
little
before
200.
Musquettiers
into
a
Ditch
,
with
charge
to
make
an
Alarum
into
the
very
Trenches
and
Workes
of
the
Enemies
;
which
by
them
was
so
brauely
performed
,
that
they
droue
the
Enemies
close
to
the
Rayebergh
,
and
into
their
owne
Quarter
,
where
they
were
strongly
seconded
.
Then
began
our
Musquettiers
softly
to
retire
,
and
forsooke
the
ground
which
they
had
gotten
,
only
in
policy
,
to
leade
the
Enemies
another
manner
of
dance
then
the
Spanish
Pauin
:
They
followed
our
men
hard
,
and
came
in
great
numbers
into
the
compasse
of
the
aforesaid
forsaken
halfe-moone
,
and
further
too
,
where
they
were
saluted
by
our
bright
and
well-oyled
Musquets
,
and
afterwards
blowne
vp
into
the
ayre
both
by
ours
,
and
likewise
by
their
own
Mynes
too
,
when
they
little
suspected
any
such
matter
,
as
is
aforesaid
.
They
made
a
pittifull
noyse
and
a
lamentable
cry
,
and
our
Garison
setting
vpon
them
,
kild
many
(
which
were
sunke
into
the
sand
by
the
blowing
vp
of
the
Mynes
,
some
sunke
therein
vp
to
their
middle
,
some
vnto
their
brests
,
and
some
vnto
their
shoulders
)
knocking
them
downe
with
their
pieces
in
such
manner
,
that
wee
gat
our
purpose
of
them
.
Wee
might
likewise
haue
blowne
vp
the
Enemies
battery
,
neere
vnto
the
aforesaid
halfe-moone
,
and
endamaged
him
mightily
thereby
,
seeing
wee
had
a
Myne
vnder
the
same
,
if
our
Commanders
generally
had
consented
thereunto
;
the
Enemies
had
11.
Pieces
planted
vpon
the
said
battery
,
and
annoyed
vs
mightily
.
The
18.
they
were
labouring
hard
on
both
sides
,
at
their
Trenches
,
Mynes
,
Lines
and
Trauerses
,
and
had
some
small
Skirmishes
with
vs
,
wherein
sundry
were
hurt
;
so
that
the
linnen
which
some
Patriots
or
wel-willers
of
the
Countrey
had
sent
thither
,
was
well
imployed
in
the
dressing
of
the
wounds
:
there
were
likewise
made
1500.
Cushions
for
the
breast
,
and
aboundance
of
head
pillowes
for
the
sicke
or
hurt
Souldiers
.
The
19.
wee
perceiuing
that
the
Enemies
would
blow
vp
one
of
their
Mynes
,
(
in
the
Quarter
of
the
Collonel
Fama
,
and
the
Lord
of
Loqueren
,
neere
vnto
the
forsaken
halfe
moone
)
wee
went
all
out
of
our
Myne
,
which
was
hard
by
the
same
)
except
a
Frenchman
and
two
other
,
which
after
the
Enemy
had
blowne
vp
his
Myne
,
were
yet
found
aliue
and
drawne
out
:
hereupon
the
Enemy
came
fiercely
on
,
thinking
that
hee
had
paid
vs
home
,
with
a
purpose
to
settle
himselfe
vpon
the
forsaken
halfe-moone
;
for
a
while
wee
resisted
them
,
and
they
following
vs
afterwards
at
our
Retreate
,
were
blowne
vp
by
our
Myne
;
and
buried
aliue
,
this
happened
betwixt
11.
&
4.
a
Clocke
in
the
afternoone
.
The
20.
the
Enemy
began
from
all
sides
to
shoot
very
fiercely
vpon
the
City
,
endamaging
mightily
the
Church
and
Steeple
of
the
same
,
in
such
manner
,
that
the
ordinary
waiter
nor
no
body
else
durst
abide
therein
:
Wee
supposed
that
the
Enemy
did
this
because
Mounsieur
de
Greue
,
Gouernour
of
Isendycke
,
was
burning
and
ransacking
Flaunders
with
2000.
Souldiers
and
200.
Marriners
.
This
same
day
Don
Garcia
Piementelli
,
a
braue
Souldier
,
was
kild
by
one
of
our
Mynes
,
so
that
Spinola
was
very
sory
for
his
death
.
The
21.
wee
blew
two
Mynes
vp
without
the
Bosh-gate
,
and
saw
the
Enemies
flying
vp
into
the
Ayre
like
Storkes
.
At
Antwerpe
they
call
now
our
City
,
Berghen
bring
on
,
in
stead
of
Berghen
vp
Zoom
,
seeing
there
haue
beene
so
many
brought
and
sent
thither
from
sundry
places
.
But
they
dare
no
more
assault
vs
so
freely
as
they
did
in
the
beginning
.
We
haue
our
hands
dayly
full
of
worke
:
but
it
is
no
matter
;
for
whereas
wee
lose
one
man
,
the
Enemy
loseth
tenne
.
We
thought
that
they
would
haue
broken
vp
the
Siedge
vpon
our
fasting
or
prayer
day
,
seeing
the
approaches
were
forsaken
by
them
,
about
the
Quarter
of
Collonel
Fama
,
and
the
Lord
of
Lockeren
.
It
is
remarkable
to
consider
,
that
of
so
many
iron
Bullets
which
both
high
and
low
are
dayly
shot
into
the
City
,
but
few
hurt
or
kill
any
,
there
is
such
store
of
them
that
are
daily
sent
to
the
Store-house
with
Wheele-barrowes
,
and
the
Children
play
with
the
Musquet
bullets
which
fall
vpon
the
streets
,
vsing
them
in
stead
of
earthen
Bullets
(
with
which
the
Children
in
the
Low-countries
are
vsed
to
play
:
for
Custome
being
another
nature
as
it
were
,
both
Men
,
Women
and
Children
haue
beene
so
vsed
to
the
thundering
of
the
Shot
,
that
it
causeth
no
astonishment
or
alteration
in
them
any
longer
-
The
same
day
wee
sallied
forth
on
the
North
Quarter
,
and
hauing
driuen
the
Enemies
out
of
their
Trenches
,
wee
burnt
their
Bavins
and
Faggots
,
pulled
downe
their
Lines
,
and
slew
many
of
them
.
The
22.
wee
blew
vp
3.
Mines
with
good
successe
neere
vnto
the
English
Quarter
,
endamaging
mightily
both
the
Souldiers
and
Workes
of
the
Enemies
.
But
the
fourth
Myne
which
wee
blew
vp
likewise
thereabouts
,
towards
the
euennig
,
did
exceeding
great
hurt
,
burying
the
Enemies
aliue
in
the
Mynes
,
wherevpon
there
rose
an
Alarum
in
their
Quarter
,
and
almost
all
night
long
sixe
of
our
batteries
,
and
three
of
the
Enemies
played
with
their
Ordnance
incessantly
.
The
23.
and
24.
wee
were
busie
about
blowing
vp
of
our
Mynes
round
about
the
City
,
and
to
surprise
our
Enemies
:
wee
made
likewise
Counter-workes
against
his
Workes
,
or
new
approaches
,
in
such
manner
,
that
wee
saw
the
same
day
about
all
our
Quarter
,
great
store
of
our
Enemies
slaine
and
swallowed
vp
by
our
Mynes
:
and
it
being
very
hot
in
those
places
,
in
regard
of
our
Musquet
shot
,
the
Enemies
durst
not
come
to
fetch
them
away
;
so
that
they
became
food
for
the
Crowes
and
Wormes
,
and
all
this
was
effected
with
small
losse
of
ours
.
The
25.
26.
and
27.
the
Enemies
blew
their
Mynes
vp
,
first
in
the
North-west
,
and
afterwards
two
Mynes
in
the
South-east
of
the
City
,
but
did
no
hurt
to
vs
nor
our
Workes
:
it
is
true
that
an
Englishman
and
a
Swisser
were
swallowed
vp
by
the
Sands
vnto
their
knees
,
but
they
were
presently
drawne
out
by
their
feere
;
and
against
all
expectation
brought
off
aliue
.
The
28.
the
Enemy
was
drawing
a
Trench
East
,
South-east
,
toward
the
way
of
Wowe
:
but
curs
blew
vp
a
Myne
about
foure
a
Clocke
in
the
afternoone
,
through
the
Command
of
the
two
Collonels
Fama
and
Lockeren
,
lying
North-west
from
the
Citty
,
close
to
the
sorsaken
halfe-moone
,
which
tooke
very
good
effect
.
There
was
order
giuen
before
by
the
said
Collonels
,
that
certaine
Pioners
should
bee
in
readinesse
with
their
Mattocks
and
Spades
,
and
certaine
Souldiers
with
halfe-Pikes
,
to
sally
forth
when
the
Myne
should
bee
blowne
vp
,
to
leuell
the
ground
euen
and
plaine
againe
,
so
that
our
Souldiers
might
passe
ouer
it
and
set
vpon
the
Enemies
.
All
this
was
very
happily
by
the
ayd
of
God
performed
,
without
any
damage
of
ours
,
pulling
besides
a
great
deale
of
the
Enemies
Worke
to
the
ground
,
and
being
afterwards
seconded
by
220.
men
,
vnder
the
Command
of
Captaine
William
Van
Fama
,
Brother
of
the
Collonel
,
they
filled
vp
the
Enemies
rowling
Trenches
,
which
are
nery
narrow
but
deepe
,
and
killed
there
a
hundred
and
fifty
of
the
Enemies
,
with
Rapiers
,
Courtleaxes
,
Mattocks
,
Hatchets
,
Spades
,
and
such
like
tooles
,
taking
also
seuenteene
Prisoners
which
were
brought
afterwards
into
the
City
,
as
likewise
the
booties
gotten
,
of
mony
,
Ierkins
,
Cassocks
,
&c.
I
must
not
forget
here
to
relate
how
that
Youncker
William
of
Nassau
,
base
or
naturall
Sonne
to
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
was
not
onely
a
Spectator
,
but
likewise
an
Actor
in
this
Fray
,
running
with
a
Sword
in
his
hand
amongst
the
thickest
of
them
,
and
hauing
afterwards
gotten
one
of
the
Encmies
halfe
Pikes
,
did
braue
Seruice
with
it
,
and
was
none
of
the
first
that
came
off
,
hee
was
onely
hurt
in
the
little
finger
.
The
same
night
the
English
did
likewise
an
admirable
Exploit
in
their
Quarter
,
Captaine
Clerke
being
the
inuenter
of
it
.
They
digged
a
cóncauity
vnder
the
Trenches
of
the
Enemies
,
which
lay
vpon
a
high
ground
:
The
Spanish
Souldiers
perceiuing
the
noyse
and
rumbling
vnder
ground
,
ranne
partly
away
(
as
being
afraid
to
bee
blowne
vp
)
those
which
tarried
,
were
afterwards
when
ours
had
broken
through
the
ground
,
likewise
driuen
away
,
or
slaine
:
This
was
such
an
inuention
,
as
was
yet
neuer
heard
of
before
,
by
digging
vnder
the
Enemies
,
to
take
from
them
their
aduantages
,
and
keepe
them
.
Collonel
Morgan
likewise
deceiued
the
Enemies
very
cunningly
:
hee
commanded
certaine
Hattes
to
be
set
vpon
stickes
behind
the
Baskets
in
our
new
halfe-moone
,
to
make
the
Enemies
beleeue
our
Souldiers
were
lying
there
,
and
so
it
fell
out
indeed
,
for
the
Enemy
supposing
the
very
same
,
came
and
cast
therein
diuers
Granades
,
but
few
of
them
tooke
fire
kindly
,
although
they
could
not
haue
done
any
great
hurt
amongst
the
Hats
and
stickes
:
in
the
meane
time
our
Souldiers
came
stealing
and
creeping
vpon
them
,
and
made
themselues
maisters
of
the
halfe-moone
,
before
which
they
had
shed
so
much
blood
in
former
time
,
getting
now
the
same
againe
by
a
deuice
without
losse
of
blood
:
before
10.
of
the
Clocke
,
all
things
were
mended
and
repayred
in
the
same
,
and
the
Gabions
placed
the
English
shooting
from
betwixt
them
vpon
the
Enemie
.
At
the
same
time
the
English
got
in
the
South-east
60.
places
of
ground
from
the
Enemies
.
And
in
the
North-west
Quarter
,
the
Garison
got
likewise
50.
paces
from
them
.
The
29.
we
assaulted
againe
the
enemies
rowling
or
dry
trenches
,
and
slue
some
of
them
,
so
that
they
trebled
their
Watches
to
preuent
more
mischiefe
.
We
blew
vp
a
Mine
in
the
afternoone
,
and
after
set
vpon
the
Enemy
,
but
lost
9.
or
10.
&
among
them
a
French
Ensigne
.
We
slue
a
Captaine
of
the
Enemies
,
and
a
great
number
of
soldiers
,
and
tooke
diuers
prisoners
.
The
30.
day
before
sixe
a
clocke
in
the
morning
,
there
were
threescore
of
the
Enemies
fledde
vnto
our
Citie
,
being
for
the
most
part
Italians
.
The
same
day
our
Burgomaster
receiued
a
Letter
from
Breda
,
sent
by
his
brother
,
the
Contents
were
this
:
That
Count
Henry
of
Nassaw
towards
the
euening
would
come
with
his
Horse
to
Rossendale
to
logde
there
,
and
that
the
Prince
of
Orange
was
following
him
,
with
sixe
and
twenty
thousand
Foote
,
and
eyght
thousand
Horse
,
being
all
fully
resolued
to
adventure
their
liues
and
bloods
,
for
the
honour
of
God
,
the
welfare
of
these
Lands
in
generall
,
and
our
rescuing
.
THe
1.
of
October
,
wee
perceiued
that
the
Enemy
had
remoued
almost
all
his
Cannon
,
which
were
planted
on
the
North
side
:
wee
thought
hee
would
haue
welcomed
the
Prince
of
Orange
therewith
,
but
yet
they
were
not
so
courteous
.
The
same
day
there
came
diuers
of
the
Enemies
Souldiers
running
vnto
vs
,
saying
that
all
the
Baggage
and
Ordnance
was
remoued
,
except
onely
some
fewe
Field-Peeces
,
or
Colverings
.
The
same
time
,
there
arriued
many
Troopes
of
Horse
in
the
South
Quarter
of
the
Enemies
,
little
thinking
to
come
to
the
remouing
of
the
Siege
.
In
the
meane
time
they
shot
fiercely
with
their
Musquets
,
and
gaue
vs
certaine
false
Alarums
;
thinking
to
draw
our
Forces
of
both
Quarters
vpon
their
Mynes
.
But
wee
suspecting
that
they
would
depart
with
a
stinke
or
a
smell
,
would
not
come
to
them
,
but
saluted
them
with
our
Cannon
and
Musquet
shot
.
They
blew
vp
afterwards
their
Mynes
which
were
ready
,
although
they
could
not
annoy
vs
any
way
with
them
.
The
2.
day
there
came
an
hundred
and
fiue
and
twenty
of
the
Enemies
to
vs
,
telling
vs
,
that
Spinola
was
breaking
vp
.
Wee
in
the
meane
time
played
with
our
Ordnance
vpon
them
.
About
noone
they
fired
Spinolaes
Quarter
,
and
planted
themselues
in
Battle-aray
,
as
if
they
had
beene
afraid
that
wee
would
take
the
prize
or
booty
from
them
:
marching
partly
in
the
afternoone
,
and
partly
in
the
night
following
to
their
South
Quarter
,
which
likewise
was
almost
all
fired
.
They
stood
all
night
in
order
of
battle
,
and
sent
the
baggage
away
towards
Antwerpe
:
the
Foote
followed
the
same
,
the
Horse
keeping
in
the
meane
time
the
Arriere-gard
.
But
our
Ordnance
spared
neyther
Gun-powder
no
Lead
,
but
gaue
them
their
Farewell
as
well
as
they
had
before
giuen
them
their
wellcome
.
Our
Souldiers
visiting
Spinolaes
Campe
in
the
meane
time
,
found
there
Armes
enough
for
fiue
and
twenty
hundred
men
,
and
diuers
Instruments
,
materials
,
and
waggons
,
besides
their
vnburyed
dead
bodies
,
and
great
store
of
sicke
and
hurt
men
,
complaining
and
lamenting
against
their
owne
Commanders
.
We
brought
them
into
the
Citie
for
charities
sake
,
and
cured
them
as
fitting
.
The
Enemy
departing
hence
with
dishonor
,
had
lost
since
the
Siege
11000.
men
which
were
slaine
,
besides
those
which
were
runne
away
hither
and
thither
,
there
being
in
this
one
Citie
full
two
thousand
of
them
.
Wee
haue
lost
in
this
Siege
sixe
hundred
braue
men
,
besides
those
which
are
wounded
,
whereof
there
are
a
great
number
.
God
bee
praysed
for
our
Deliuery
,
and
the
Prince
and
the
Souldiers
commended
for
their
good
endeuours
.
There
haue
beene
discharged
since
the
first
ariuall
of
the
Enemy
200000
Cannon
shot
,
both
within
and
without
the
Citie
.
