THE
FAMOVS
VICTOrie
of
Leipsich
,
now
with
severall
particulars
enlarged
;
and
repeated
from
the
beginning
of
the
Vnion
of
the
K
of
SWEDEN
and
the
Duke
of
SAXONIE
:
from
whence
all
that
haue
written
of
it
,
doe
beginne
it
.
The
Reader
is
desired
to
looke
vpon
the
two
Mappes
of
the
Battell
,
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
the
storie
.
OVI
ad
pauca
respiciunt
,
de
facili
pronuntiant
,
said
the
wise
Historian
:
They
that
consider
but
a
few
difficulties
and
objections
,
are
still
most
readie
to
deliver
their
opinion
.
'T
is
so
common
to
be
observed
,
that
it
may
almost
be
made
the
Character
of
a
bad
Scholler
,
to
be
most
sudden
and
peremptorie
in
determining
of
the
Question
.
And
truely
the
same
Inditement
lies
against
our
over-hastie
State-Criticks
,
that
at
first
dash
thinke
themselues
wise
enough
to
direct
the
actions
of
a
Prince
,
or
to
controule
the
Consulta'es
of
a
Counsell-Table
.
Let
such
bee
pleased
to
know
,
that
the
resolutions
of
a
State
,
must
like
those
of
Iustice
proceede
grauely
and
slowly
,
and
full
of
Majestie
.
Hastie
Counsells
,
bring
hastie
ruines
:
rarely
shall
he
that
hath
once
erred
in
the
warres
,
liue
to
commit
such
another
over-sight
.
Seldome
,
againe
,
is
the
Inside
and
Reason
of
State
,
turn'd
outward
towards
our
vulgar
Discoursers
.
Princes
know
,
that
secrecie
is
the
shell
of
businesse
:
the
tendernesse
whereof
must
not
by
an
over-hastie
or
over-rough
handling
bee
rasht
open
,
till
the
preciousnesse
of
the
life
within
,
by
a
kindly
●●●uritie
discloses
of
it selfe
.
All
this
haue
I
beene
bold
to
say
,
for
that
I
the
last
yeare
too
often
(
me
thoughts
)
both
read
and
over-heard
,
the
Protestant
Princes
of
Germanie
to
haue
beene
blamed
,
by
some
such
judgements
as
are
before
described
.
What
does
Saxony
and
Brandenburg
all
this
while
,
that
they
joyne
not
with
the
King
of
Sweden
?
Others
againe
(
because
they
judge
it
fit
)
were
as
forward
on
the
other
side
to
report
,
that
they
were
alreadie
joyned
:
and
that
full
10.
Moneths
before
ever
themselues
resolved
upon
joyning
.
Plainly
,
the
Princes
of
Germanie
(
though
they
satisfied
not
these
mens
expectations
)
shewd
themselues
neither
fooles
nor
cowards
,
in
keeping
the
same
distance
both
with
the
Emperor
,
and
the
King
of
Sweden
,
that
they
did
.
Nor
hath
it
fallen
out
the
worse
for
the
King
.
Defensiue
League
amongst
themselues
a
musing
of
the
Emperour
;
gained
more
time
and
advancement
to
the
King
of
Sweden
,
then
if
they
had
openly
at
first
sided
in
with
him
.
Besides
these
priuate
reasons
therefore
,
which
haue
not
come
so
low
as
to
men
of
my
Forme
;
these
(
me
thinkes
)
which
my
simplenesse
could
alledge
for
them
,
might
very
fayrely
excuse
them
.
1
Their
Resolutions
in
the
Dyet
of
Leypsich
were
,
sincerely
to
continue
their
loyalty
&
obedience
towards
their
Lord
the
Emperour
;
till
themselues
should
for
not
ayding
him
,
be
invaded
by
him
.
2.
It
had
beene
no
wisedome
much
sooner
to
haue
joyned
with
the
King
,
till
either
he
were
strong
enough
to
relieue
them
,
or
the
Emperour
so
weake
,
as
not
to
annoy
them
:
neither
of
which
they
could
yet
discover
.
All
the
Summer
time
were
the
3.
Imperiall
Generalls
Furstenberg
,
Altringer
,
and
Fugger
,
yet
in
their
Countries
:
nor
had
the
King
as
yet
beaten
his
way
thorough
vnto
them
:
for
that
Tilly
still
kept
in
the
wind
of
him
,
betwixt
Pomeren
and
Saxonie
.
3.
Had
Saxonie
by
declaring
with
the
King
,
sooner
provokt
Tilly
to
fall
vpon
him
,
(
either
before
the
taking
of
Magdenburg
,
or
after
)
never
had
the
Protestants
beene
able
to
haue
assisted
the
King
of
Sweden
.
4.
If
the
maine
of
their
objection
still
lies
against
the
Duke
of
Saxonie
,
(
the
cheife
Engine
indeed
of
all
the
motion
:
)
they
shall
find
him
to
haue
beene
the
lesse
too
blame
,
if
they
consider
how
strongly
he
was
by
the
other
partie
laid
at
:
so
wrought
hee
was
by
another
finenesse
,
that
notwithstanding
he
had
beene
earnestly
enough
sollicited
by
the
King
,
in
time
to
provide
for
himselfe
,
by
a
seasonable
declaring
on
his
side
;
had
beene
foretold
,
what
would
one
day
come
of
it
:
yet
besides
the
difficultie
that
was
in
it
,
for
him
to
discover
the
Toyle
he
was
alreadie
gotten
into
:
it
had
seemed
a
discourtesie
against
all
the
civilities
of
Courtship
,
to
haue
vpon
such
termes
,
broken
short
off
with
the
Emperour
.
Flatterie
and
Protestation
(
the
two
Court-Iuglers
in
ordinarie
)
had
cast
such
a
mist
before
the
Dukes
eyes
,
that
it
was
not
easie
for
him
to
discover
how
the
Leger-demain
was
conveyed
against
him
.
The
Emperours
Ambassadour
all
this
while
resident
with
him
,
had
much
courted
and
smooth'd
him
vp
,
that
his
Highnesse
services
and
endeerments
to
the
Emperour
,
were
too
many
ever
to
be
forgotten
.
Flattered
vp
besides
he
was
with
that
glorious
stile
,
of
being
the
Pillar
of
the
Empire
,
and
the
Achilles
of
Germanie
.
And
as
much
plyed
with
warme
clothes
by
some
of
his
owne
Councell
he
was
:
who
though
his
servants
,
were
yet
the
Pensioners
of
the
house
of
Austria
.
But
for
all
this
,
could
those
of
other
Nations
by
broad
day-light
discerne
,
that
the
Elector
of
Saxonie
was
likely
another
day
to
finde
no
other
favour
at
the
Emperours
hands
,
then
what
Vlisses
,
of
old
,
requested
of
the
Giant
Polyphemus
,
to
bee
the
last
man
that
should
bee
eaten
.
This
error
and
danger
of
his
owne
,
the
Duke
at
length
(
by
the
light
of
his
owne
Countrey
now
all
on
a
flame
about
his
eares
.
)
came
to
haue
the
sight
of
:
which
with
a
just
indignation
he
in
some
high
termes
represented
vnto
the
Emperors
Ambassador
,
at
his
finall
dismissing
him
from
his
Court.
Then
could
he
discerne
,
that
the
kisse
which
the
Ambassador
at
parting
offered
to
his
hand
,
was
but
a
Iudas
kisse
,
and
so
was
he
bold
to
call
it
.
Then
did
he
remember
also
,
how
little
either
his
owne
former
intercessions
,
or
those
of
other
Protestant
Princes
,
for
a
good
peace
,
had
hither
to
beene
respected
by
the
Catholikes
:
and
that
a
many
of
them
had
all
this
while
beene
of
the
Duke
of
Bavaria's
opinion
,
who
in
the
yeare
1620.
suffered
(
and
perchance
with
applause
too
)
this
following
passage
,
(
and
that
in
publike
Oration
then
made
before
him
,
by
way
of
Congratulation
for
the
taking
of
Prague
,
and
the
Proscribing
of
the
Prince
Palatine
,
)
to
be
put
vpon
our
most
peaceable
Salomon
,
our
well-meaning
Nathaniel
,
King
Iames
;
Intercesserat
pro
Palatino
filio
,
idque
Oratorum
fuco
,
magnae
Britanniae
Rex
:
quos
spernendos
esse
,
optimo
exemplo
docuit
serenitas
vestra
.
For
the
Palatine
his
sonne
had
the
King
of
great
Britaine
interceeded
by
some
counterfeit
pretences
of
his
Ambassadors
:
which
Ambassadors
that
they
ought
to
bee
dispised
,
your
Highnesse
hath
taught
by
an
excellent
example
.
Thus
much
(
Isay
)
did
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
not
onely
suffer
to
bee
audibly
pronounced
before
him
,
but
publikely
to
be
imprinted
also
:
as
if
they
little
cared
who
knew
it
,
so
be
they
had
power
to
maintaine
it
.
The
Duke
of
Saxonie
beginning
now
to
bee
more
apprehensiue
of
all
this
,
and
perceiving
at
the
same
time
the
Generall
Tilly
to
pinch
vpon
him
;
to
be
already
with
fire
and
sword
fallen
into
his
Countrey
:
Sergeant
Major
Generall
Altringer
to
bee
comming
against
him
by
the
way
of
Duringen
:
and
Diepenbach
the
Field-Marshall
,
to
bee
advancing
out
of
Silesia
;
both
intending
to
joyne
with
Tilly
:
away
is
the
Lord
Arnheym
disp●●ded
towards
his
Majestie
of
Sweden
;
to
make
humble
demaund
of
his
royall
assistance
.
The
King
now
prizing
his
owne
power
,
and
the
Dukes
need
of
it
,
at
higher
rates
then
himselfe
when
he
had
formerly
made
proffer
of
it
,
would
haue
beene
content
to
haue
afforded
it
for
:
delivers
these
fiue
demaunds
vnto
Arnheym
,
to
be
carried
to
his
Maister
.
1.
2.
That
he
should
send
his
Sonne
to
remaine
for
hostage
in
the
Kings
Armie
.
3.
That
the
Elector
should
presently
advance
3.
moneths
meanes
afore-hand
,
for
the
payment
of
the
Kings
Armie
.
4.
That
the
Dukes
false
Counsellors
should
bee
delivered
to
the
King
,
or
bee
punished
by
himselfe
according
to
their
demerits
.
5.
That
the
Elector
should
engage
his
Faith
and
Honour
to
the
King
,
ever
to
stand
prest
to
adventure
both
his
life
and
fortunes
,
yea
and
his
Electorate
it selfe
in
defence
of
the
Reformed
Religion
.
To
see
how
mens
present
necessities
can
prevaile
over
the
stiffenesse
of
their
former
resolutions
.
Hee
that
would
at
no
hand
treat
with
the
King
before
,
now
sends
him
more
satisfaction
then
hee
expected
.
This
was
the
Dukes
answer
.
1.
That
not
his
Towne
of
Wittenberg
alone
,
but
his
whole
Countrey
was
from
thence-forth
at
his
Majesties
devotion
.
2.
That
he
would
not
onely
send
his
Sonne
,
but
himselfe
in
person
would
wait
vpon
his
Majesties
Armie
.
3.
As
for
making
the
three
moneths
pay
downe
vpon
the
naile
;
that
he
professed
himselfe
at
the
instant
not
able
to
satisfie
his
Majestie
in
:
but
one
moneths
meanes
hee
would
presently
make
tender
of
;
and
securitie
for
the
other
two
.
4.
Were
but
those
false
Councellors
once
named
unto
him
,
he
would
himselfe
see
condigne
punishment
inflicted
upon
them
.
5.
That
he
was
not
ready
to
expend
his
fortunes
,
and
what
ever
els
he
had
;
but
to
engage
his
life
for
the
Religion
:
promising
from
that
time
forth
,
to
sticke
most
closely
unto
the
King
.
This
answere
being
cheerefully
,
and
with
much
assurance
delivered
by
the
Ambassadour
,
the
King
sayth
,
That
hee
would
trie
the
Duke
,
whither
he
were
in
good
earnest
or
not
.
Passing
his
Army
therefore
over
the
Bridge
of
Wittenberg
,
and
leaving
a
Garrison
of
his
owne
within
the
Towne
:
to
Dieben
he
goes
to
meete
the
Electors
of
Saxony
and
Brandenberg
;
as
in
our
other
booke
wee
before
told
you
.
There
was
it
in
private
consultation
betwixt
these
three
Princes
deliberated
;
1.
2.
That
it
also
as
much
concernd
the
King
too
:
for
that
the
Countrey
now
halfe
taken
by
the
enemie
,
was
not
long
able
to
maintaine
two
such
armies
.
That
the
Duke
sourged
to
the
battle
,
was
not
,
I
suppose
,
because
his
courage
was
more
then
the
Kings
;
but
because
his
necessities
were
more
personall
,
and
more
pressing
.
If
he
sought
not
,
all
were
lost
;
and
if
hee
were
overthrowne
,
all
were
out
lost
then
:
much
more
honourable
besides
it
was
,
to
dye
for
his
Countrey
,
in
the
field
,
in
a
braue
battle
;
then
to
liue
the
Emperors
Bandite
or
Almes-man
for
a
while
;
and
either
to
die
without
an
Epitaph
,
or
haue
that
of
a
coward
,
branded
,
rather
then
engraven
upon
his
Tomb-stone
.
This
hanging
off
of
the
Kings
,
drew
,
no
doubt
,
the
Tyes
something
the
straighter
,
which
he
before
had
upon
the
Duke
:
engaged
him
(
perchance
)
into
some
new
promises
,
and
privater
obligations
.
Thus
did
the
wise
King
finely
suffer
himselfe
to
be
drawne
into
the
hazard
,
chiefly
upon
the
opportunity
of
the
Duke
:
keeping
to
himselfe
the
inward
contentment
that
he
found
,
to
see
Saxony
now
so
forward
;
and
concealing
the
reason
of
warre
withall
,
Much
about
this
time
(
as
the
report
goes
)
did
the
Generall
Tilly
(
out
of
the
fatall
bravary
of
a
confident
Souldier
,
and
the
inevitablenesse
of
his
owne
destinie
)
invite
his
owne
overthrow
,
That
as
hee
was
a
braue
Cavalier
,
hee
should
come
and
giue
him
a
Battle
.
This
low
terme
of
Cavalier
,
the
Kings
heroicall
spirit
receiving
with
a
just
disdaine
,
(
as
it
is
sayd
)
trampled
upon
the
Letter
,
thus
replying
withall
unto
the
Trumpet
:
What!
doth
your
Generall
thinke
mee
worthy
of
no
better
a
style
then
of
a
Cavalier
?
I
am
a
King
;
and
tell
him
I
shall
well
finde
him
out
.
Tilly
vpon
receit
of
this
message
,
prepares
his
Army
,
as
if
to
accept
of
a
victory
,
rather
then
to
fight
much
for
it
;
and
very
welcome
to
his
men
,
was
the
tidings
of
a
pitcht
battle
:
so
confident
they
were
of
their
owne
strength
(
which
they
counted
invincible
)
and
so
glad
of
the
oportunity
.
What
sayth
the
Count
of
Pappenheym
,
(
Field
marshall
unto
Tilly
,
)
when
he
saw
the
blood
prodigiously
dropping
from
the
houses
at
Hall
,
where
hee
then
was
;
must
wee
bleed
?
will
the
King
of
Sweden
beare
us
?
that
's
impossible
.
Proclamation
hereupon
is
through
every
Quarter
of
the
Leaguer
made
,
that
vpon
the
hearing
of
certaine
warning
peeces
,
every
man
should
repaire
to
his
colours
and
to
his
order
.
Some
of
Tillyes
Councell
of
warre
were
of
opinion
,
that
having
fortified
their
leaguer
,
it
were
best
to
expect
the
Swedens
falling
on
vpon
it
,
as
they
had
done
them
at
Sweds
and
Werben
.
But
the
most
voices
and
courages
prevailed
,
that
it
were
more
honour
to
meete
the
enemie
in
the
field
,
whom
perchance
they
might
take
vnprovided
.
Vpon
the
fatall
7.
of
September
therefore
being
Wednesday
;
the
Generall
Tilly
with
full
44000.
braue
men
,
first
advances
from
his
Leaguer
into
the
field
.
Gods
Acre
Some
haue
affirmed
it
to
haue
beene
the
very
same
place
,
where
the
Emperor
Charles
the
5th
.
did
heretofore
over-throw
Maurice
then
Duke
of
Saxonie
.
But
this
conjecture
of
theirs
,
seemes
to
be
contradicted
by
Sleidan
;
who
assignes
the
place
of
that
former
victory
to
be
,
ad
silvam
Lochanam
,
the
wood
of
Lochan
:
which
they
of
the
Germane
Nation
,
affirme
to
be
neerer
vnto
Hall
:
18.
or
20.
English
miles
from
Leipsich
.
Vpon
this
plaine
aforesaid
,
there
is
a
rising
ground
,
a
little
hill
and
a
wood
likewise
towards
the
West
:
whereabouts
(
with
a
fatall
Omen
)
the
place
of
execution
also
is
;
as
you
may
perceiue
described
in
the
first
Mappe
.
Here
had
Tilly
(
like
a
prudent
Generall
that
was
carefull
for
all
advantages
)
at
first
placed
himselfe
;
the
Hill
,
besides
that
it
served
him
commodiosly
to
plant
his
Canon
vpon
;
was
very
easie
withall
for
him
to
descend
:
but
very
troublesome
on
the
other
side
,
for
the
Swedes
to
climbe
vp
vnto
.
The
wood
served
him
,
both
to
hide
his
men
in
at
first
,
and
for
a
retreat
afterwards
for
them
,
if
they
should
be
put
vnto
it
.
The
watch
word
for
his
Army
was
Sancta
Maria
;
or
as
some
High
Dutch
Relations
say
,
Mary
the
Mother
of
God
.
The
token
to
know
one
another
by
,
was
white
strings
,
or
ribbands
,
about
their
armes
and
in
their
helmets
:
as
if
they
had
beene
Diademes
,
and
that
that
day
would
haue
made
them
all
Kings
.
The
vnion
being
thus
made
,
and
the
battell
concluded
vpon
,
betwixt
the
Kings
Majestie
of
Sweden
,
and
their
Highnesses
the
Electors
of
Saxonie
and
Brandenburg
;
the
King
having
first
over-viewed
the
Armies
,
vpon
Tuesday
Sept.
6.
commaunds
a
Bid-day
,
or
day
of
more
solemne
prayers
throughout
every
Quarter
.
The
devotions
ended
;
the
Army
in
faire
array
moved
that
night
from
Dieben
,
(
4.
Dutch
miles
from
Leipsich
)
till
they
came
within
2.
Dutch
miles
(
some
6.
or
8.
English
miles
)
of
the
enemie
:
where
putting
out
good
Guards
and
watches
,
they
for
that
night
rested
.
That
same
night
had
the
King
a
strange
dreame
,
Wednesday
Sept.
7.
(
which
the
Germane
Writers
call
diem
Reginae
)
they
before
day
light
were
vpon
their
march
again
.
The
Armie
of
the
Catholike-Leaguers
having
by
a
warning
peece
beene
drawne
together
,
before
the
standing
Campe
neere
Leipsich
;
were
after
halfe
an
houres
pause
vpon
the
place
,
faire
and
softly
caused
to
advance
into
the
open
field
.
Passing
therefore
beyond
the
Villages
of
Lindenthal
,
(
usually
called
Linckell
)
in
the
right-hand
vpper
corner
of
the
Map
,
marked
with
B
:
And
little
Wiederwitz
marked
with
C
:
And
great
Wiederwitz
marked
with
D
:
Now
fellow
Souldiers
(
sayes
he
)
wee
must
looke
for
blowes
.
Resolving
therefore
to
keepe
the
advantage
of
that
higher
ground
to
fight
vpon
;
hee
first
of
all
in
severall
places
causes
his
Ordnance
to
bee
planted
,
which
are
here
marked
with
G
:
disposing
in
the
next
place
of
the
order
of
his
battell
.
Making
choice
therefore
of
the
old
forme
of
fighting
in
great
square
Bodies
,
(
of
which
the
Mappe
shewes
you
the
mightie
Fronts
onely
;
so
much
,
namely
,
as
at
the
joyning
of
the
battels
presented
it selfe
vnto
the
Swedens
view
:
)
he
thus
marshalls
his
formidable
forces
.
The
whole
Armie
he
divides
into
three
vsuall
parts
,
the
maine
Battell
namely
,
and
the
two
wings
.
The
right
wing
was
commended
vnto
Eggon
Count
of
Furstenberg
,
Invincible
Armie
,
expressing
a
great
deale
of
desire
to
be
at
it
.
The
King
of
Sweden
vpon
the
first
full
view
of
the
Imperiall
Armie
,
(
now
within
a
league
of
him
:
)
shewing
them
vnto
his
owne
men
,
rides
from
Regiment
to
Regiment
,
and
from
rancke
to
rancke
,
with
a
loud
voice
asking
of
his
Souldiers
;
Come
on
,
Comrades
,
will
you
fight
to
day
for
the
name
of
Iesus
Christ
!
This
question
was
by
the
whole
Armie
presently
answered
with
the
Eccho
of
this
joyfull
acclamation
,
Vivat
Gustavus
Adolphus
,
vive
,
vive
,
vive
.
The
King
observing
the
braue
resolution
of
his
Souldiers
,
calls
immediately
a
Trumpet
vnto
him
:
to
whom
he
openly
delivering
a
Letter
,
alowd
commaunded
him
to
carrie
it
vnto
the
Generall
Tilly.
That
he
desired
to
see
the
Generall
Tilly
in
the
Feild
;
and
to
that
purpose
he
now
attended
for
him
.
Tilly
vpon
receipt
of
this
Letter
,
that
he
for
his
part
had
never
refused
to
fight
with
him
;
that
he
would
now
meete
him
halfe
way
:
and
that
the
King
well
knew
where
to
finde
him
.
These
two
last
passages
concerning
the
Kings
speech
vnto
his
Armie
,
and
his
Letter
vnto
Tilly
;
are
written
by
Chaimaries
a
French
Captaine
,
that
day
serving
the
King
of
Sweden
.
Now
began
the
King
to
dispose
of
the
array
of
his
Army
.
Those
18.
or
20000.
men
which
he
led
along
with
him
;
he
devides
,
like
his
enemy
,
into
three
parts
:
and
each
of
these
againe
into
the
Vantguard
and
the
Arrierguard
.
Iohn
Bannier
,
Generall
of
the
Foote
:
by
whom
stand
the
Letters
A
a.
The
left
wing
,
marked
with
X
,
was
led
by
the
braue
Gustavus
Horne
,
Feild-Marshall
vnto
his
Majestie
:
whom
you
may
finde
out
by
the
Letter
Y.
The
Arrier-guard
of
the
same
wing
was
left
vnto
Colonell
Hall
:
whom
you
may
see
at
the
Letters
D
d.
His
troupes
were
those
three
Horse-Regiments
which
you
see
vnder
him
;
marked
with
the
numbers
87
,
88
,
89.
The
Van
of
the
maine
Battell
or
middle-ward
,
whose
character
is
the
Letter
T
,
was
committed
vnto
the
sober
and
valiant
Gentleman
,
the
Baron
Dyvell
:
whose
place
is
by
the
Letter
V.
This
Van
consisted
of
Foote
altogether
:
which
being
divided
into
foure
Brigades
of
Pikes
and
Muskettiers
,
were
ordered
by
[
*
](A13221-e15120-b)
*
So
doe
severall
High-Dutch
Relations
name
him
:
but
whether
rightly
or
no
,
I
cannot
learne
.
I
rather
thinke
it
should
be
Axel
Oxenstiern
.
Acko
,
Oxenstiern
,
Erick
Hand
,
and
Winkell
,
all
Colonells
.
Before
this
part
,
you
see
the
Ordnance
placed
,
and
immediately
behinde
it
(
for
the
greater
strength
)
are
there
three
Divisions
of
Scottish
Muskettiers
placed
;
mingled
among
twice
fiue
troupes
of
Horse
,
of
the
Kings
owne
Guards
.
The
Reere
of
the
same
maine
Battell
knowne
by
the
Letters
B
b
:
consisting
of
three
Brigades
of
Foote
,
was
committed
vnto
the
well
tryed
Sir
Iohn
Hepburne
,
(
commonly
called
Hebron
:
)
who
fought
in
person
in
the
middlemost
of
those
three
Brigades
:
and
is
to
be
found
at
the
Letters
C
c.
The
Brigade
on
the
right
hand
,
was
led
by
the
yong
Count
of
Turne
:
and
that
on
the
left
hand
,
by
Colonell
Vitzthimb
,
a
braue
Souldier
.
These
three
Brigades
,
(
wherein
some
English
and
many
Scots
were
)
were
accounted
among
the
best
and
surest
men
of
the
Army
:
and
called
The
Reserue
of
the
Battell
.
Behinde
these
,
are
two
halfe
Regiments
of
Horse
,
of
fiue
troupes
apeice
;
commaunded
by
Colonell
Schaffman
,
and
Col.
Cochtitsky
.
And
this
was
the
Kings
admirable
order
of
Embatteling
:
which
you
shall
much
the
better
please
your selfe
in
the
reading
of
;
if
you
will
take
the
paines
but
to
looke
for
every
thing
in
the
Mappe
,
as
you
goe
along
.
A
new
kinde
of
Marshalling
was
this
vnto
Tilly
,
which
as
much
helped
to
beate
him
,
as
the
valour
of
the
men
did
,
that
fought
in
it
.
Every
part
of
it
,
consisted
of
severall
Maniples
and
small
Bodyes
of
men
:
of
which
if
any
one
were
overthrowne
,
there
was
nothing
so
much
hurt
done
,
as
when
one
of
Tillyes
greater
Battaglions
were
broken
:
and
they
might
much
easier
,
(
by
reason
of
the
nimblenesse
of
their
motion
,
and
the
small
space
of
ground
which
they
tooke
vp
to
moue
in
)
be
supplyed
by
one
another
.
And
if
the
thinnesse
of
the
Files
(
as
being
never
aboue
six
deepe
)
were
not
able
(
t
is
true
)
to
beare
off
any
great
shock
or
impression
;
yet
by
bringing
,
by
that
meanes
,
more
hands
to
fight
at
once
,
then
the
enemies
order
possibly
could
doe
;
they
were
able
on
the
sudden
to
doe
the
more
execution
.
Vpon
the
sight
of
it
in
the
Mappe
,
you
will
r●●dily
make
this
judgement
:
That
one
part
so
fences
,
so
backs
,
so
flancks
one
another
:
is
so
readie
to
second
,
to
relieue
one
another
:
so
apt
,
eyther
to
send
out
succours
;
or
to
receiue
into
their
hinder-wards
or
rancks
,
any
of
their
former
fellowes
that
shall
happen
to
be
over-layd
:
that
the
whole
Army
lookes
like
some
impregnable
Citie
,
with
its
Bastiles
,
its
Towers
,
its
Bulwarks
,
and
severall
Retreates
about
it
.
So
that
well
may
the
men
be
killd
;
but
very
hardly
shall
the
whole
order
be
rowted
.
And
of
this
we
haue
experience
in
this
Battle
:
where
there
was
not
(
that
I
can
finde
)
any
one
Regiment
put
to
flight
,
but
Collenbachs
Horse
onely
.
The
lesse
marvaile
then
it
is
if
God
with
vs
,
and
this
order
of
Embatteling
,
invented
by
this
new
(
but
royall
)
Captaine
:
gaue
so
full
an
overthrow
to
the
eldest
&
best
Generall
of
the
world
.
And
yet
hath
the
King
more
of
these
Formes
of
Battell
invented
by
himselfe
:
every
one
to
fit
the
enemy
,
the
ground
,
and
the
occasion
.

Perchance

Sergeant
Major
Generall
to
the
Duke
;
or
Swalbach
,
that
day
Generall

figures
in

Mappes
meane
;
wee
shall
anone
tell
you
,
after
the
description
of
the
victory
.
The
Watch-word
for
both
these
Protestant
Armyes
,
was
,
GOT
MIT
VNS
,
God
with
vs
:
and
their
Tokens
,
Greene
Branches
in
their
hattes
or
helmets
;
with
which
ere
night
their
browes
were
crowned
,
as
with
victorious
Lawrells
.
Advancing
in
this
equipage
into
the
place
of
Battell
;
vpon
the
sayd
Plaine
,
which
Tilly
had
fayrey
left
for
them
:
behold
an
Omen
,
which
a
Romane
Augur
would
haue
esteemed
for
a
most
fortunate
abodement
.
Vpon
that
emptie
place
of
ground
whereon
the
King
was
to
fight
,
there
sate
a
flocke
of
birds
(
which
had
indeede
beene
observed
there
some
dayes
before
,
by
the
Country-men
;
and
to
haue
fought
there
too
,
with
another
flock
,
we
went
to
fetch
you
victory
.
The
Duke
of
Saxony
had
another
good
encouragement
to
his
Army
also
:
a
milke-white
Doue
,
namely
,
hovering
very
lowe
,
and
almost
sitting
vpon
a
Cornet
or
Horsemans
Ensigne
:
which
also
setcht
a
circuite
afterwards
,
about
the
Dukes
Army
.
But
the
King
had
a
better
Augury
on
his
side
,
then
a
flight
of
birds
:
His
Motto
or
Watch-word
,
God
with
vs
:
and
that
which
the
Romane
Generall
sometimes
preferred
before
the
birds
,
Romano
milite
dignus
,
Ensis
adest
augur
:
his
valour
▪
namely
,
and
his
Sword
.
Being
now
readie
to
come
vnto
the
shock
,
In
this
heaving
and
shoving
too
and
againe
,
Gustavus
Horne
commaunded
.
The
thunder
of
the
Canon
about
two
a
clocke
gaue
quite
over
.
At
which
time
the
Count
of
Pappenheym
with
the
Horse
of
his
left
wing
,
giues
the
first
charge
vpon
the
Kings
right
wing
.
The
Duke
Adolphus
of
Holsteyn
was
the
first
that
seconded
the
Horse
,
The
rest
of
Pappenheyms
Foote
being
thus
deprived
of
the
most
of
their
Horse
,
and
not
succoured
time
enough
by
Tilly
with
his
Battell
;
was
with
the
lesse
trouble
afterward
defeated
by
the
Kings
Right
wing
.
The
King
in
the
beginning
of
the
fight
perceiving
the
enemy
to
charge
very
hardly
upon
his
men
;
Dan.
Heinsius
in
his
Panegyrick
affirmes
)
from
his
horse
;
prayes
vpon
his
bended
knees
vnto
God
for
the
victory
:
imitating
herein
the
godly
Emperour
Theodosius
,
who
did
as
much
in
a
day
of
Battell
.
The
Generall
Tilly
perceiving
it
to
goe
hard
with
his
left
wing
,
Gustavus
Horn
in
the
left
wing
.
drawes
with
his
Battell
from
about
the
little
Wood
;
and
downe
the
hill
he
comes
.
With
him
was
the
chiefe
strength
of
the
Foote
;
old
Souldiers
the
most
of
them
:
though
never
so
well
beaten
Souldiers
,
as
that
day
they
were
.
Sixteen
braue
Regiments
there
were
of
them
;
and
those
divided
into
foure
great
Spanish
Brigades
;
their
Horsemen
also
,
on
both
sides
,
proudly
prancing
vpon
their
flancks
.
Right
opposite
vnto
him
,
was
Gustavus
Horne
with
his
left
wing
:
vpon
him
therefore
Generall
Tilly
instantly
sets
;
vpon
him
he
twice
or
thrice
charges
with
great
bravery
:
which
charges
,
Horne
with
as
much
resolution
both
endures
&
returnes
.
Tilly
at
length
finding
himselfe
shrewdly
rubbed
thereabouts
with
the
lyning
of
the
Swedish
Horse-troupes
,
and
some
smaller
Drakes
and
Feild-peices
withall
:
beginnes
on
the
sudden
to
turne
his
whole
order
;
so
that
leaving
a
part
of
his
Battell
of
Foote
,
and
the
most
of
his
Horse
to
hold
Gustavus
Horne
play
:
he
converts
all
his
fury
vpon
the
Duke
of
Saxony
.
With
Tilly
and
his
Battell
,
Spanish
Brigades
,
falling
too
heavily
vpon
the
new-levyed
Saxons
:
and
vpon
the
Dukes
owne
Guards
especially
(
amongst
which
himselfe
fought
)
that
not
able
longer
to
endure
the
fury
of
the
old
Wallons
,
Germanes
,
and
Burgundians
;
they
beginne
to
giue
ground
a
little
at
the
first
:
and
to
run
quite
away
a
little
after
.
Furstenberg
in
like
manner
prest
so
hard
vpon
the
Dukes
left
wing
;
that
they
presently
followed
the
example
of
their
Countreymen
;
The
Imperialists
now
seeing
the
Saxons
fleeing
,
Victoria
,
victoria
,
follow
,
fellow
,
follow
:
but
the
old
Lad
their
Generall
quickly
countermaunded
that
,
saying
,
Let
them
goe
,
wee
shall
overtake
them
time
enough
:
but
let
vs
beate
the
Swedes
too
,
and
then
all
Germany
is
our
owne
.
But
so
good
was
this
newes
,
that
some
Posts
are
presently
dispeeded
away
towards
the
Emperour
at
Vienna
,
with
the
most
welcome
tydings
of
Victory
:
Some
Cornets
of
the
Saxons
being
there
shewed
,
and
some
scornefull
and
disgracefull
words
among
,
being
added
against
the
Duke
of
Saxony
.
The
most
of
the
Saxons
being
thus
rowted
;
Arnheym
(
as
t
is
sayd
)
still
made
good
the
place
.
With
him
,
were
the
best
of
the
Dukes
Horse
;
and
the
best
of
them
too
,
the
Dukes
own
Horse-guards
,
that
day
commaunded
by
Leiftenant-Colonell
Tauben
,
a
valiant
Gentleman
.
Eight
troupes
he
had
besides
,
of
Duke
William
of
Saxon-Altenburg
:
together
with
some
of
the
Countrey-Gentlemens
,
and
of
his
owne
.
The
most
of
these
(
as
I
sayd
)
had
Tilly
slipt
by
,
with
a
touch
onely
vpon
them
.
Hereabouts
fell
there
out
a
prettie
encounter
,
worthy
not
to
be
overpassed
.
While
Tilly
and
Furstenberg
were
in
action
with
the
Saxons
,
those
Horse
which
he
(
as
hath
beene
sayd
)
left
in
fight
with
Gustavus
Horne
;
came
not
so
victoriously
off
from
the
Swedes
,
as
their
Generall
had
done
from
the
Saxons
.
This
action
,
Gustavus
Horne
himselfe
,
thus
writes
of
.
All
their
Horse
(
sayth
he
)
fell
vpon
my
left
wing
;
Gustavus
Horn
defeates
those
that
chargd
him
.
who
were
soone
dispersed
and
put
to
flight
:
and
contrarily
the
Duke
of
Saxonies
Foote
,
almost
left
the
Feild
.
Whilest
yet
the
enemy
pursued
the
Saxons
,
our
left
wing
charged
into
their
flanck
,
and
vpon
their
two
troupes
of
Reserue
:
and
in
this
posture
we
fought
a
long
time
,
and
lost
many
of
our
Horse
.
But
finally
after
I
had
soundly
charged
the
enemies
Battell
with
that
Regiment
of
the
Gothish
Horse
,
which
his
Majestie
sent
me
for
assistance
:
together
with
the
commaunded
Muskettiers
which
had
beene
placed
by
the
King
in
the
left
wing
:
the
enemy
beganne
to
grow
thinne
and
to
fall
away
;
whereupon
their
Battayle
presently
broke
;
being
all
put
to
flight
,
excepting
foure
Regiments
:
who
by
reason
of
the
smoake
and
dust
were
so
shadowed
from
our
sight
,
that
they
saved
themselues
.
Thus
farre
this
conquering
penne
writeth
.
Those
that
Horne
thus
overthrew
;
were
one
or
two
perchance
,
of
those
foure
great
Brigades
belonging
to
Tillyes
maine
Battayle
.
So
that
there
yet
remaines
the
rest
of
them
which
were
peiced
in
with
Furstenbergs
left
wing
;
whom
we
are
next
to
enquire
after
.
The
Earle
of
Furstenberg
having
sorely
raked
the
Saxons
,
and
charged
quite
thorough
them
;
was
with
his
owne
Regiment
thus
in
the
heate
of
bloud
and
valour
,
quite
parted
from
the
rest
of
his
owne
wing
.
Supposing
therefore
his
dayes
worke
to
be
done
with
the
Saxons
,
whom
the
rest
of
his
men
had
put
to
flight
:
he
with
his
owne
Regiment
of
foote
,
flyes
amaine
vpon
the
Swedens
againe
.
It
seemes
that
Hall
had
followed
Furstenberg
,
even
vnto
the
poynt
of
the
left
wing
of
the
Kings
Armie
:
because
that
Chaimaries
presently
subjoynes
,
That
his
Colonell
(
Hall
)
was
seperated
in
this
fight
from
the
rest
of
the
Army
;
excepting
from
the
braue
Cavalier
Colonel
Collenbach
;
with
whom
(
sayth
he
)
I
was
.
Now
Collenbachs
place
in
the
Battell
,
the
Mappe
shewes
to
be
in
the
end
of
the
left
wing
:
where
he
hath
fiue
troupes
of
Horse
,
at
the
number
57.
and
fiue
more
,
at
the
number
59
:
So
that
Chaimaries
place
must
needs
be
at
the
number
58
:
where
he
was
one
of
those
Foote-Captaines
that
led
those
360.
Muskettiers
of
Halls
men
,
which
at
that
time
lyned
Collenbachs
Horse
,
which
were
800.
in
number
:
in
which
very
place
,
Chaimaries
sets
himselfe
,
in
a
Mappe
of
the
Battell
drawne
by
his
owne
hand
;
which
came
over
with
his
Letter
.
This
enquirie
helpes
vs
to
know
,
whereabouts
the
chiefe
of
the
Encounter
at
that
time
was
:
wherein
you
may
satisfie
your selfe
,
by
looking
into
the
Mappe
.
No
sooner
were
Furstenbergs
Foote
defeated
;
but
7000.
or
8000.
of
those
Imperialists
that
had
discomfited
the
Saxons
;
were
discovered
vpon
the
place
where
the
Saxons
had
beene
lately
Marshalled
.
The
dust
and
smoake
were
so
great
,
that
they
were
vpon
Collenbach
ere
he
was
aware
:
and
yet
as
neere
him
as
they
were
,
not
being
able
to
discerne
their
Colours
;
he
knew
not
whether
they
were
friends
or
foes
.
The
same
doubt
possesses
the
Imperialists
also
;
who
being
so
neere
Collenbach
,
never
offered
so
much
as
to
charge
him
:
imagining
,
perchance
,
that
he
might
be
some
of
their
owne
maine
Battaile
,
which
Gustavus
Horne
had
thereabouts
of
late
defeated
.
At
last
(
sayes
Chaimaries
)
my
minde
gaue
me
that
they
were
enemies
;
yea
I
told
Collenbach
that
they
were
not
our
men
.
And
by
this
time
had
the
enemy
disc●rned
vs
too
:
whereupon
turning
two
peices
of
Ordnance
vpon
vs
,
which
they
had
taken
from
the
Duke
of
Saxony
;
they
let
flie
amongst
vs
.
Iust
at
this
time
came
the
King
ryding
vp
vnto
vs
,
crying
to
Collenbach
,
Charge
,
man
,
a
Gods
name
:
whereupon
his
Majesties
owne
selfe
led
vs
on
against
the
enemy
;
saying
,
That
he
must
finish
the
worke
that
wee
had
begunne
:
Collenbach
thereupon
advancing
,
(
and
the
King
going
away
to
looke
to
other
places
)
is
presently
encountred
with
ten
Cornets
of
Horse
,
who
at
the
first
or
second
Charge
,
slew
all
his
Officers
and
Cornets
,
that
commaunded
before
foure
of
his
troupes
upon
the
right
hand
of
his
Regiment
:
The
King
of
Sweden
having
(
as
hath
beene
sayd
)
set
on
Collenbach
;
goes
,
(
like
a
noble
Generall
,
who
thinkes
it
his
office
to
see
to
all
)
to
visite
his
three
Brigades
of
Reserue
in
the
Reere
of
the
maine
Battayle
;
where
the
valiant
Hebron
commaunded
.
Bringing
therefore
some
100.
or
more
of
the
better
sort
of
prisoners
,
which
himselfe
with
the
right
wing
had
before
taken
▪
he
for
the
encouragement
of
his
men
,
makes
a
shew
of
them
;
still
crying
[
*
](A13221-e17920-b)
*
That
is
,
lustily
,
valiantly
.
Allegremente
as
he
rode
along
:
vive
,
cry
the
Souldiers
.
At
which
cheerefulnesse
of
his
men
the
King
very
heartily
laughing
;
led
them
on
towards
those
7.
or
8000.
of
the
enemy
,
before
mentioned
;
not
making
a
stand
,
vntill
he
came
within
halfe
Musket
of
them
.
These
were
part
of
those
men
,
who
,
as
I
sayd
,
had
defeated
the
Duke
of
Saxony
.
Towards
whom
the
King
now
ryding
very
neere
;
comes
backe
vnto
his
men
with
newes
,
That
he
saw
the
Burgundian
Crosse
.
Sending
therefore
the
Baron
Dyvell
vnto
Sir
Iohn
Hebron
to
commaund
him
to
fall
on
with
his
three
Brigades
of
Reserue
;
himselfe
hasts
away
to
the
neerest
part
of
the
maine
Battaile
,
where
Colonell
Winckle
with
the
Bl●w
Regiment
stood
,
to
send
him
to
ayde
Hebron
also
.
Scarcely
had
this
braue
Baron
Dyvell
delivered
the
Kings
message
;
Iohn
Hebron
with
the
middlemost
of
the
three
Brigades
,
Iohn
Hebron
charges
Tilly.
and
Colonell
Vitzthimb
with
his
other
on
the
left
hand
;
moved
forward
towards
the
enemy
.
But
the
young
Count
of
Turne
,
who
had
the
third
and
right
hand
Brigade
(
which
was
the
furthest
from
the
danger
)
he
(
as
I
am
enformed
)
stirred
not
.
Whether
he
misunderstood
the
message
,
or
what
els
should
be
the
reason
of
it
,
I
know
not
.
Thus
much
onely
can
I
enforme
my
Reader
;
that
he
is
not
sonne
to
the
braue
old
Bohemian
Count
of
Turne
,
nor
like
vnto
him
.
On
the
right
hand
of
Sir
Iohn
Hebrons
Brigade
,
was
the
valourous
Scottish
Colonell
Lumsdell
:
who
with
the
Lord
Reayes
men
,
and
his
owne
,
helpt
to
make
up
Hebrons
Brigade
complete
:
the
most
of
the
other
part
of
it
(
of
Sir
Iohns
owne
Regiment
)
being
of
the
Germane
Nation
.
On
the
right
hand
of
Lumsdell
againe
,
had
the
King
caused
Sir
Iames
Ramsey
with
his
chosen
or
outcommaunded
Muskettiers
,
also
to
fall
on
.
The
first
of
Lumsdells
Muskettiers
,
were
led
on
by
his
Lieutenant
Colonell
Muschamp
,
our
daring
and
valiant
Countryman
:
who
with
much
courtesie
related
this
whole
passage
,
thus
vnto
mee
.
First
(
sayth
he
)
giving
fire
vnto
three
little
Feild-peices
that
I
had
before
me
,
I
suffered
not
my
Muskettiers
to
giue
their
volleyes
,
till
I
came
within
Pistoll-shot
of
the
enemy
:
at
which
time
I
gaue
order
to
the
three
first
rancks
to
discharge
at
once
;
and
after
them
the
other
three
:
which
done
,
we
fell
pell mel
into
their
rancks
,
knocking
them
downe
with
the
stocke
of
the
Musket
,
and
our
swords
.
The
enemy
,
notwithstanding
wee
were
alreadie
within
their
ranckes
,
gaue
vs
two
or
three
Salvees
with
their
Muskets
:
and
at
our
first
falling
on
,
foure
gallant
troupes
of
Curiassiers
advancing
themselues
before
their
owne
foote
,
and
comming
close
vp
to
the
head
of
our
Pikes
;
at
one
volley
or
two
of
their
Pistolls
,
shot
all
the
Scottish
Ancients
dead
vpon
the
place
;
A
braue
Commaunder
of
theirs
,
all
in
scarlet
and
gold-lace
there
was
right
before
vs
;
whom
we
might
discerne
to
lay
on
vpon
his
owne
mens
pates
and
shoulders
;
to
cut
and
slash
divers
of
them
with
his
sword
,
because
they
would
not
come
on
vpon
vs
.
This
Gentleman
maintained
the
fight
a
full
houre
,
and
more
,
against
vs
;
but
he
being
slaine
,
wee
might
perceiue
their
Pikes
and
Colours
to
topple
downe
,
to
tumble
and
fall
crosse
one
over
another
:
Sir
Iohn
Hepburn
,
Sir
Iames
Ramsey
,
Colonell
Vitzthimb
,
and
Colonell
Lumsdell
with
their
foote
;
and
the
Bohemian
Colonells
Schaffman
and
Cochtitsky
with
their
horse
;
all
wheeling
about
in
manner
of
an
halfe
moone
,
(
as
the
second
Mappe
shewes
you
,
)
so
well
at
the
same
time
plyed
their
businesse
;
charged
with
so
much
bravery
and
resolution
at
first
;
and
maintained
the
fight
with
so
much
courage
and
manhood
to
the
last
;
that
in
this
part
also
,
though
the
Imperialists
behaved
themselues
right
valiantly
;
yet
were
they
forced
to
yeeld
vnto
the
fortune
of
the
day
,
as
in
other
places
of
the
field
,
their
fellowes
had
done
before
them
.
For
at
this
time
,
the
Lord
Arnheym
with
his
Saxon-horse
fell
so
resolutely
on
vpon
their
Reere
,
and
the
Scottish
and
Germane
foote
,
vpon
their
Van
;
and
those
other
troupes
which
the
King
sent
in
from
the
left
wing
and
maine
Battayle
,
vpon
their
flanck
:
that
the
remainder
of
Tillyes
great
Spanish
Brigades
,
and
of
Furstenbergs
left
wing
,
were
gotten
into
a
Toyle
,
as
it
were
;
and
so
jumbled
and
jolled
together
,
that
wanting
roome
to
fight
and
order
themselues
to
their
best
advantage
in
;
[
*
](A13221-e18630-b)

This
report
made
here
at
first
by
a
Gentleman
that
was
sent
by
the
King
of
Sweden
,
vnto
our
Kings
Majestie
;
I
haue
since
found
to
be
confirmed
in
Dan:
Heinsius
his
Panegyrick
written
vnto
the
King
of
Sweden
:
who
sayes
that
the
Foote
that
did
this
service
,
advanc't
them selues
before
their
owne
Horse
;
who
it
seemes
charged
presently
in
vpon
it
,
vpon
the
enemy
.
Yea
the
King
himselfe
vses
to
exercise
his
Souldiers
to
these
postures
.
.
Arnheym
on
the
other
side
,
with
his
Saxon-horse
,
did
much
execution
vpon
the
enemies
foote
:
who
had
few
or
no
Horse
at
this
time
and
in
this
place
left
,
to
oppose
against
him
.
And
here
by
all
probabilitie
it
was
,
that
the
Generall
Tilly
received
his
wounds
:
and
was
supposed
(
though
vnknowne
)
to
haue
been
prisoner
for
a
while
vnto
the
Kings
Armie
.
But
this
I
cannot
affirme
.
Among
other
Commanders
of
the
Imperialists
that
fought
at
this
time
,
in
this
very
place
;
these
three
I
finde
particular
mention
of
.
The
Earle
of
Schomberg
,
that
day
Generall
of
the
Ordnance
;
the
Baron
of
Cronenberg
,
and
the
Lord
of
Baumgarten
:
so
that
these
surely
,
were
none
of
the
meanest
troupes
,
that
were
led
by
such
honourable
personages
.
Something
also
of
what
was
here
done
by
the
Imperialists
;
we
may
learne
by
the
sayd
valiant
Baron
of
Cronenbergs
Letter
.
In
foure
houres
(
sayth
Cronenberg
)
I
charged
the
enemy
foure
times
with
my
Regiment
:
judge
you
whether
we
were
not
at
hot
service
,
in
so
much
that
I
verily
beleeved
that
I
had
defeated
my
enemy
,
and
that
the
victory
was
ours
:
I
not
knowing
that
our
left
wing
was
so
miserably
defeated
.
And
this
mistake
was
by
reason
of
the
great
smoake
;
for
we
could
not
possibly
see
aboue
foure
paces
before
vs
.
The
enemy
had
possessed
themselues
of
the
place
whereon
our
left
wing
was
defeated
:
I
then
went
vp
into
the
very
face
of
them
,
even
in
that
quarter
where
they
brought
many
fresh
Cornets
of
Horse
,
and
some
Regiments
of
foote
to
charge
me
.
The
whole
Armie
doth
know
,
yea
and
our
Generall
himselfe
will
witnesse
it
,
that
but
for
me
,
our
Generall
had
beene
lost
:
whom
I
perceiving
grievously
hurt
,
Thus
much
writes
the
Baron
of
himselfe
,
modestly
:
for
from
other
hands
wee
haue
also
received
it
,
how
that
when
Rodolph
Maximilian
Duke
of
Saxon-Lawenburg
,
Thus
by
knowing
of
Cronenbergs
place
;
we
finde
where
the
Generall
Tilly
at
this
time
was
:
and
that
it
was
Sir
Iohn
Hebron
that
overthrew
him
.
For
this
valour
and
faithfulnesse
to
their
Generall
,
was
the
Baron
Cronenberg
much
honored
:
and
the
Duke
afterwards
entrusted
with
the
keeping
of
the
key
of
Bavaria
;
the
Towne
of
Donawaert
I
meane
:
from
whence
the
King
of
Sweden
did
of
late
dayes
beate
him
.
The
King
having
set
on
Sir
Iohn
Hebron
vpon
Tilly
;
Goies
,
Blanckhart
,
Chesui
,
Balderon
and
Diderichsteyn
,
(
which
last
two
made
vp
one
Regiment
:
)
any
man
may
by
the
numbers
in
the
Mappe
perceiue
,
that
these
foure
were
placed
very
farre
asunder
in
the
beginning
of
the
Battell
:
even
as
farre
as
the
numbers
8
,
12
,
15
,
and
19
,
are
one
from
another
.
And
this
is
an
argument
of
the
great
confusion
they
had
beene
put
vnto
in
the
battell
;
as
others
likewise
had
beene
in
the
former
fight
,
which
Tillies
selfe
had
made
:
where
Baumgartens
Regiment
which
had
beene
at
first
marshalled
neere
the
very
end
of
the
left
wing
,
at
the
number
4
;
was
now
conjoyned
with
Schomberg
and
Cronenberg
,
whose
first
place
was
in
the
further
end
of
the
right
wing
,
at
the
numbers
26
,
and
27
:
and
both
these
from
the
ends
of
both
wings
,
conjoyned
with
Tilly
,
in
the
middleward
or
mayn-battayle
.
But
to
the
story
.
The
King
now-in
person
setting
vpon
these
new
revnited
forces
,
with
such
courage
and
successe
charges
in
vpon
them
;
that
at
the
first
onset
cutting
in
peices
those
troups
that
had
the
guard
of
the
Ordnance
,
and
then
turning
the
Canon
vpon
the
residue
:
he
had
the
slaughter
of
a
great
many
of
them
;
and
the
rowting
of
as
many
more
.
Yet
all
fled
not
:
for
the
Goiesish
,
Blanckhartish
,
Chesuish
,
and
Balderonish
Regiments
,
before
mentioned
;
stood
to
their
Armes
brauely
.
Old
Lads
they
were
,
and
experienced
Souldiers
too
;
such
as
feared
not
an
enemy
with
an
iron
face
,
and
that
cared
not
for
a
halfepenny
chop
in
their
owne
flesh
.
These
,
to
their
great
prayse
(
as
the
Kings
owne
description
of
the
Battell
sayes
)
made
good
the
wood
for
a
long
time
against
his
Majestie
,
killd
him
a
many
of
braue
fellowes
.
Thus
after
fiue
houres
hard
fight
,
The
next
morning
was
the
chace
begunne
againe
;
And
this
was
the
end
of
that
formidable
Armie
of
his
Imperiall
Majestie
,
and
of
the
Catholike
Leaguers
;
which
for
eleven
yeares
together
before
the
comming
of
the
King
of
Sweden
,
had
given
the
Law
vnto
all
Germany
,
had
made
the
name
of
Tilly
so
renowned
.
All
the
ill-gotten
wealth
,
and
fore-gotten
glory
of
it
,
was
in
poore
fiue
houres
space
,
(
such
is
the
fortune
of
the
warres
)
now
quite
lost
and
confounded
.
This
,
I
say
,
was
the
end
of
it
.
Nine
or
10000.
men
,
were
left
dead
in
the
field
and
chase
;
many
thousands
sorely
wounded
;
whereof
some
shortly
after
dyed
,
and
others
thereby
vtterly
made
vnserviceable
:
Diverse
were
taken
prisoners
;
and
6000.
forsaking
the
side
,

and

,
for
the
Kings
service
;
not
a

besides

running
quite

and
never
more

to
their
Colours
.

againe
:
perchance
not
so
many
;
yea
perhaps
not
halfe
so
many
of
the
selfe
same
men
;
at
leastwise
not
halfe
so
many
of
the
Foote
;
who
could
not
so
fast
followe
their
fleeing
Generall
,
towards
the
Weser
.
The
King
this
morning
marching
towards
Leipsich
;
there
seased
vpon
the
enemies
whole
standing
Camp
.
Here
were
found
full
3000.
Wagons
,
with
all
their
baggage
,
tents
,
and
pavilions
:
a
great
number
of
Cattle
,
Horses
,
Oxen
,
Sheepe
,

,
Poultrie
,
Bread
,
Wine
,
meate
vpon

Spits

with
other
necessary
provisions
:
much
costly
stuffe
,
with
some
gold
and
silver
;
both
in
vessell
and
readie
money
.
There
were
many
aboue
100.
Ensignes
and
Cornets
brought
vnto
the
King
,
with
14.
great
peices
of
halfe
Curtoes
,
or
Demicanon
;
and
16.
smaller
feild-peices
,
of
8.
or
10.
pound

:
some
whereof
had
the
Armes
of
the
Emperour
vpon
them
;
others
of
the
Duke
of
Bavaria
,
of
Wallensteyn
,
the
Palsgraue
,
the
Elector
of
Brandenbnrg
,
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
&c.
And
thus
haue
we
told
you
something
of
what
was
done
in
every
part
of
the
Battayle
.
The
foure
great
Brigades
of
Foote
in
the
Van
of
the
Kings
mayn
Battayle
,
were
thought
too
strong
to
be
medled
withall
;
the
Imperialists
therefore
never
fell
on
there
.
Nor
did
any
part
of
them
,
nor
of
their
after-troupes
,
(
those
I
meane
,
betwixt
the
Battayle
and
the
Reserues
of
it
)
once
moove
:
onely
the
King
commaunded
some
troupes
to
goe
and
ayde
Hebron
once
.
Nor
did
the
Count
of
Thurne
stirre
.
Nor
was
the
further
end
of
Banniers
people
medled
withall
;
els
the
whole
Armie
was
in
action

On

these
great
personages
slaine
;
Adolphus

,
Otho

Count

together
with
Bernard
,
that
was
Secretary
and
Treasurer
vnto
Tilly
;
diverse
Captaines
,
and
some
Iesuites
;
who
(
no
doubt
)
came
thither
to
blesse
the
Armie
.
And
this
was
as
complete
a
victory
,
Lord
of
Hoasts
giue
away
the
victory
.
Tillyes
manly
heart
,
there
is
no
Battell
against
the
Lord
;
So
that
this
old
Conquerour
,
still
vsed
to
see
the
backs
of
his
enemies
;
is
now
glad
to
shew
them
his
owne
heeles
:
and
thus
wounded
as
he
was
,
to
flee
that
night
towards
Hall
,
seven
Dutch
myles
from
the
place
of
Battell
.
Hither
did
the
Earles
of
Furstenberg
,
and
Pappenheym
,
both
sorely
wounded
,
also
come
vnto
him
:
Sweden
.
Tilly
had
in
the
fight
received
two
(
some
say
,
three
)
severall
wounds
vpon
his
body
;
besides
a
shrewd
brush
or
counterbuff
with
the
stock
of
a
Musket
given
him
by
a
common
Souldier
;
which
being
aymed
full
at
his
head
,
notwithstanding
that
the
old
man
bare
off
as
well
as
he
could
with
his
feeble
arme
;
yet
so
rudely
for
all
that
,
did
it
light
vpon
the
side
of
his
necke
,
shoulder
,
and
arme
,
that
the
poore
man
complained
more
of
that
blow
,
than
of
any
of
his
other
wounds
.
That
Tillyes
wounds
did
not
peirce
the
flesh
.
But
this
(
in
charitie
)
had
I
rather
ascribe
vnto
his
bruise
,
than
vnto
the
Pistoll-shots
that
he
received
:
or
rather
,
that
the
report
was
raised
vpon
some
misprision
or
misunderstanding
of
the
Barbers
words
.
Very
loath
I
am
to
leaue
so
base
an
imputation
vpon
so
honourable
a
Commaunder
;
as
to
owe
his
life
,
all
this
while
,
vnto
a
devilish
inchantment
:
which
is
practised
by
none
,
but
the
reprobate
raskalitie
of
the
Armie
;
such
as
the
meanest
common
Souldier
that
respects
his
credite
,
but
will
scorne
to
keepe
company
withall
.
A
common
practise
,
indeede
,
it
is
in
Germany
:
which
you
see
the
King
of
Sweden
hath
vpon
paine
of
death
forbidden
,
in
the
first
of
his
Articles
of
Warre
.
Tilly
after
this
,
was
sayd
to
speake
of
nothing
but
of
Peace
,
and
of
making
a
good
Peace
,
which
is
,
indeede
,
farre
more
happie
than
victory
.
The
newes
of
this
overthrow
being
carryed
vnto
Rome
,
the
Pope
(
as
t
is
reported
)
aloud
pronounced
,
Salva
Roma
,
Salva
est
Eoclesia
:
Rome
is
safe
,
and
the
Church
is
safe
.
The
man
,
perchance
was
afraid
,
that
if
the
House
of
Austria
should
ever
arriue
at
their
expected
Monarchy
;
they
would
put
in
practise
that
designe
of
the
Founder
of
their
greatnesse
,
Charles
5.
Emperour
;
which
was
,
That
when
he
beseigning
Rome
heard
newes
that
his
Generall
the
Duke
of
Burbon
was
slaine
before
the
walles
of
it
;
he
by
his

These
letters
were
intercepted
by
the
Pope
and

Cardinall
Woolsey
.
Letters
appoynted
Hugo
a
Moncado
to
goe
on
with
the
siege
,
and
to
take
the
Pope
prisoner
:
and
I
(
sayth
the
Emperour
)
will
come
downe
with
the
rest
of
the
Armie
from
Barcelona
,
and
bring
Fryar
Angelo
with
me
:
whom
I
will
make
Pope
,
and
reduce
the
Pope
into
the
order
of
another
Arch-bishop
.
The
Italians
of
Mantua
,
Montferat
,
and
those
places
,
hearing
also
of
this
Victory
;
openly
protested
that
it
was
justly
fallen
vpon
the
Emperour
for
their
sakes
:
by
whose
Armies
they
had
beene
so
miserably
handled
the
last
yeare
.
The
Protestants
,
every
where
,
tooke
it
for
the
beginning
of
their
hopes
and
comforts
.
The
Popishly
affected
in
all
Countryes
,
that
honour
the
House
of
Austria
more
then
they
doe
the
Pope
;
and
that
preferre
Catholike
,
before
Romane
;
they
gaue
out
braue
words
after
it
,
saying
,
Let
the
King
of
Sweden
doe
what
he
pleases
this
Winter
time
;
but
when
Summer
comes
,
he
must
be
put
to
another
Battell
.
The
King
of
Sweden
,
his
Armie
,
and
well-wishers
;
they
gaue
God
thankes
for
it
.
And
thus
was
the
newes
of
this
famous
victory
,
by
severall
people
,
severally
entertained
.
