THE
IOVRNALL
CONTINVED
TO
THIS
DAY
.
Continued
to
the
2.
of
Nouember
.
IN
my
last
Iournall
of
aduertisement
concerning
the
proceedings
of
the
Duke
of
BVCKINGHAMS
Excellencie
,
in
the
I
le
Ree
,
which
said
Iournall
was
dated
on
the
second
of
October
last
.
I
related
vnto
you
the
estate
of
our
Leaguer
as
it
then
stood
,
with
diuers
particulars
,
concerning
the
Fort
of
Saint
Martins
,
and
the
besiedging
of
Rochell
by
the
French
Army
.
Since
which
time
there
are
two
seuerall
Messengers
arriued
in
England
,
whose
relation
concerning
the
French
affaires
,
both
in
the
Maine
,
and
in
the
Iland
,
is
as
followeth
.
The
French
King
is
now
personally
come
before
the
Towne
of
Rochell
,
being
willing
to
honour
the
Siedge
with
his
presence
.
Before
his
comming
his
brother
the
Monsieur
had
vsed
all
possible
meanes
to
annoy
the
Towne
,
being
furnished
with
all
Materialls
and
Engines
fit
for
such
a
purpose
.
He
lyes
strongly
intrenched
,
and
hath
a
powerfull
and
numerous
Army
,
as
being
aboue
thirty
Thousand
thought
by
the
List
.
He
plies
the
Towne
with
his
Canon
day
and
night
,
and
hath
burned
some
houses
,
with
Wilde
fire
Balles
,
Granadoes
,
and
other
fiery
Missiues
,
which
the
Besiedgers
shoot
into
the
Towne
,
for
the
most
part
,
in
the
night
time
,
out
of
their
Bombards
and
morter
Peeces
.
The
Rochellers
notwithstanding
this
,
make
a
braue
and
resolute
resistance
,
and
haue
made
diuerse
couragious
Sallies
,
in
which
they
haue
taken
and
slaine
many
of
the
brauest
French
Caualiers
.
And
that
they
might
make
the
Besiedgers
know
,
how
little
they
doe
esteeme
that
great
Army
,
they
haue
by
way
of
open
defiance
vnto
the
French
,
hung
vp
the
King
of
Englands
Colours
vpon
the
walles
.
They
haue
so
plyed
the
the
newe
Fort
(
which
the
French
King
is
building
vpon
the
point
before
Rochell
)
with
their
Cannon
,
that
they
haue
quite
sleighted
and
ruined
the
Fortifications
of
it
,
and
haue
slaine
sundry
persons
of
quallity
and
commande
in
the
French
Kings
Army
.
The
English
Forces
which
besiedge
the
Fort
of
Saint
Martins
,
in
the
I
le
of
Ree
,
vnder
the
conduct
of
his
Illustrious
Excellency
,
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
haue
deliuered
vnto
the
World
braue
testimonies
of
their
valour
and
patience
,
being
as
well
couraged
in
suffering
,
as
actiue
in
doing
,
thinking
no
labour
too
difficult
,
nor
danger
to
perrillous
,
where
the
honour
of
their
Countrey
,
and
their
proper
duty
is
engaged
.
They
haue
brought
their
approaches
close
to
the
Enemies
Counterskarfe
,
though
not
without
sweat
,
and
bloud
,
there
hauing
beene
made
diuers
braue
Skirmsshes
by
them
,
and
diuers
braue
attempts
by
vs
.
And
as
it
is
reported
by
a
Duchman
,
who
came
lately
to
the
Court
,
our
men
haue
beaten
the
Enemies
out
of
all
their
outworkes
,
so
that
both
the
Counterskarfes
and
the
Skonse
without
the
Fort
being
lost
,
there
remaines
nothing
vnconquered
,
but
the
Cittadell
it selfe
.
These
Out-workes
,
as
this
Messenger
relateth
,
are
possessed
by
Colonell
Gray
,
a
man
that
knowes
how
to
keepe
his
footing
,
as
well
as
any
Souldier
in
Christendome
.
This
report
is
likely
to
be
true
,
as
being
deliuered
vpon
perill
of
his
credit
,
yet
another
Gentleman
that
came
thence
foure
dayes
before
this
Dutchman
,
and
arriued
at
the
Court
,
the
same
night
that
the
other
did
(
hauing
beene
hindred
in
his
iourney
by
meanes
of
a
wracke
)
cannot
,
and
will
not
assure
as
much
.
His
Excellency
before
the
arriuall
of
Sir
William
Beacher
with
new
Supplies
of
Men
,
Munition
,
and
Victualls
,
suffered
much
,
both
in
his
owne
particular
,
and
in
the
generalitie
,
and
was
faine
to
giue
the
common
Soldiers
out
of
his
owne
store
,
to
keepe
them
from
mutining
,
and
for
continuing
them
in
their
duties
.
The
English
Soldiers
doe
much
dutie
,
as
watching
by
turnes
euery
second
or
thirde
night
in
the
Trenches
,
which
bringes
some
of
them
into
fluxes
,
feuers
and
other
diseases
.
Besides
,
they
were
so
much
distressed
for
want
of
Victualls
before
the
comming
of
the
last
supplies
,
in
so
much
that
eight
Men
were
put
to
fower
Mens
allowance
.
Yet
this
want
was
in
part
relieued
by
the
surprising
of
nine
French
Vessells
or
Shallops
laden
with
Victualls
,
which
intended
(
if
they
could
)
to
relieue
the
Fort.
Besides
,
there
ariued
happely
a
Shippe
of
Bristow
,
which
being
laden
with
Victualls
,
did
for
a
time
relieue
our
Armie
.
To
second
which
good
fortune
,
Sir
William
Beecher
ariued
happily
and
safely
,
with
all
requisite
and
necessarie
Prouisions
,
which
did
much
refresh
our
Men
,
and
relieue
our
necessities
.
Neither
were
the
besiedged
without
their
share
of
wantes
,
but
were
troubled
with
them
more
feelingly
and
pressingly
,
so
that
they
sent
to
his
Excellencie
to
parlie
,
and
were
resolued
to
surrender
vp
the
Fort.
But
as
they
were
treating
vpon
Conditions
,
there
hapned
a
storme
that
night
,
it
being
then
a
Spring-tide
,
by
the
benefit
whereof
,
they
did
put
into
the
Fort
some
small
proportion
of
Victualls
.
But
yet
this
was
but
a
drop
throwne
into
the
Ocean
of
their
wants
,
and
like
a
Squibbe
tyed
vnto
a
Bulls
taile
,
it
encreased
their
appetite
and
our
anger
.
For
although
this
desperat
aduenture
furnished
them
with
some
proportion
for
the
present
:
yet
there
penurie
is
growne
as
pressing
as
before
,
and
as
the
Dutchman
reporteth
,
those
of
the
Fort
are
againe
much
distressed
,
so
that
want
makes
some
sicke
,
and
many
Fugitiues
.
Through
whose
defect
there
are
not
aboue
fiue
hundred
of
the
besiedged
left
in
the
Fort
,
and
many
of
them
are
so
weake
,
that
they
cannot
stand
vnder
Pike
or
Musket
.
The
Duke
of
Rohan
(
Monsieur
Subeza
his
Brother
)
hath
readie
7000.
Foote
,
and
500.
Horse
,
well
prouided
and
braue
Soldiers
in
a
readines
,
for
the
ayde
of
the
Protestants
.
The
Pope
doth
endeauor
all
he
can
to
make
this
quarrell
belong
to
the
Emperour
,
the
K.
of
Spaine
,
and
the
House
of
Austria
,
perswading
them
it
is
for
Religion
.
The
Rochelers
haue
fully
declared
themselues
for
the
King
of
England
,
to
which
agreement
,
there
are
diuers
Articles
concluded
on
by
his
Excellence
.
His
Excellence
hath
sent
word
to
his
Maiestie
,
that
if
it
will
please
him
to
send
him
Bread
he
will
deserue
it
,
but
if
he
will
adde
vnto
it
something
more
he
will
drinke
his
Health
.
Our
men
haue
mounted
their
Cannon
so
aduantagiously
,
that
they
command
the
Enemies
Ornance
,
and
haue
dismounted
them
our
of
their
Carriages
,
so
that
they
haue
not
one
Peece
left
to
play
vpon
the
Approaches
,
either
from
their
Batteries
,
or
Casemates
.
The
French
knowing
how
much
the
honour
of
their
Nation
,
and
the
safety
of
the
neighbouring
Prouinces
on
the
firme
Land
depends
vpon
the
keeping
of
the
Fort
,
haue
sought
againe
to
releeue
it
with
sixteene
Boates
,
but
being
discouered
by
our
men
,
they
were
pursued
by
our
Long
Boatse
,
Shallops
,
and
those
flatt
bottomd
Boates
,
with
which
the
Rochellers
haue
furnished
vs
,
being
Vessels
very
seruiceable
both
for
chase
and
fight
.
Wee
suncke
foure
of
these
Barques
,
the
rest
got
into
the
Maine
and
by
the
benefit
of
their
Sealegges
escaped
our
hands
.
The
enemies
neuer
attempt
to
releeue
the
Fort
but
in
a
stormy
night
,
and
Spring-Tide
,
and
then
our
Ships
were
of
little
vse
in
respect
of
the
darkenesse
of
the
night
.
We
haue
no
other
meanes
of
hinderance
,
or
preuention
,
but
by
the
Boates
and
Shallops
aforesaid
.
There
runnes
away
dayly
many
Souldiers
out
of
the
Fort
vnto
our
Leaguer
,
notwithstanding
all
the
care
and
perswasions
of
the
Gouernour
.
These
are
not
sent
into
the
Maine
,
but
kept
in
the
Island
vnder
safe
custody
,
because
they
shall
not
carry
any
message
,
nor
deliuer
any
particulars
conceruing
our
Affaires
.
These
Fugitiues
informe
vs
,
by
a
generall
consent
of
report
,
that
the
Besiedged
are
compelled
to
sustaine
nature
with
things
vnnaturall
,
and
vnusuall
to
the
Pallate
:
their
greatest
daineties
being
but
bread
and
water
,
and
they
are
allowed
that
but
in
a
small
proportion
.
So
that
they
hold
it
for
certaine
,
that
vpon
the
arriuall
of
our
next
Supplies
,
the
French
will
foorthwith
surrender
the
Fort.
I
pray
God
they
may
come
thither
safely
and
opportunely
,
and
then
in
humane
reason
,
we
haue
no
reason
to
doubt
of
good
successe
;
for
if
the
Besiedgers
do
not
giue
vp
the
Fort
by
that
time
vpon
composition
,
his
Excellencie
,
by
Gods
assistance
,
will
aduenture
to
make
a
forcible
entrie
,
He
knowing
right
well
in
the
clearenesse
of
his
iudgement
,
that
the
Defendants
are
so
fewe
and
weake
,
that
they
cannot
endure
a
generall
Assault
.
In
the
meane
time
,
our
men
intrench
themselues
to
preuent
the
excursions
&
sallies
of
the
Enemies
.
The
French
doe
earnestly
mediate
for
quarter
at
Sea
,
but
his
Excellence
well
knowing
that
no
reliefe
can
come
to
the
Fort
but
by
water
,
will
not
grant
them
any
quarter
at
all
.
But
to
deterre
the
Enemies
from
bringing
reliefe
,
and
to
hinder
their
desperate
attempts
,
all
those
which
fall
into
our
Sea-mens
hands
,
are
either
put
to
the
Sword
,
hanged
vp
to
the
maine
Yeard
,
or
throwne
ouerboard
.
The
Rochellers
hauing
no
other
Victualls
but
what
is
transported
vnto
them
from
other
places
,
and
being
doubtfull
to
be
necessitated
themselues
,
haue
affoorded
vs
as
yet
no
great
reliefe
,
onely
they
haue
exchanged
some
meale
for
bread
corne
,
and
haue
taken
One
Thousand
of
our
sickemen
into
the
Towne
,
and
insteed
of
them
haue
sent
ouer
to
vs
fiue
Hundred
of
their
owne
Souldiers
to
fill
vp
our
numbers
,
vntill
the
comming
of
the
next
Supplie
.
His
Excelencie
in
the
continuation
of
this
Siedge
hath
taken
more
then
ordinarie
paines
and
care
,
sparing
his
person
from
no
labour
nor
perill
,
in
furthering
the
present
seruice
:
And
although
he
hath
hitherto
been
doubtfully
supplyed
out
of
England
,
by
reason
of
the
contrary
winds
,
and
the
delayes
which
happen
commonly
in
such
great
preparations
,
yet
he
hath
subdued
these
difficulties
with
incredible
patience
,
and
hath
wonne
an
honorable
reputation
amongst
all
the
Souldiers
of
our
Nation
.
For
knowing
that
the
vertue
of
the
English
is
cherished
by
nothing
more
then
by
the
loue
and
presence
of
their
Commanders
,
he
is
wanting
neither
in
the
one
or
the
other
,
but
with
his
presence
comforts
them
in
their
night
duties
,
and
by
visiting
and
relieuing
the
sicke
and
wounded
,
obliedgeth
the
hearts
of
his
Soldiers
vnto
him
.
I
speake
not
this
out
of
any
fawning
or
partiality
,
(
trueth
being
neerer
to
me
then
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
,
)
but
only
to
make
those
know
(
who
out
of
priuate
respects
haue
been
maleuolent
against
him
)
how
much
they
haue
wronged
his
merit
and
reputation
.
And
although
diuers
men
who
are
either
affected
to
the
French
,
or
disaffected
to
his
Excellencie
,
haue
held
the
taking
of
the
Fort
of
Saint
Martines
a
thing
more
then
difficult
,
as
being
altogether
impossible
;
and
haue
made
the
Siedge
the
subiect
of
their
iests
and
table
talke
:
Yet
if
in
serene
and
more
impartiall
iudgements
,
we
shall
consider
the
causes
for
which
this
enterprise
was
vndertaken
,
and
the
meanes
which
doe
facilitate
and
assure
the
taking
of
the
Fort
,
we
cannot
chuse
but
alow
the
designe
(
although
diuers
of
these
prepossessed
Spirits
haue
censured
the
contrarie
)
for
honorabl●
,
profitable
and
feasable
,
being
grounded
vpon
●he
necessities
of
Policie
and
Religion
.
I
know
that
it
hath
been
reported
,
and
hath
passed
the
vulgar
swallow
(
I
meane
those
●ho
are
of
vulgar
apprehensions
,
)
that
his
Excelencie
before
Beechers
arriuall
,
dispaired
of
successe
,
and
had
raised
his
Siedge
,
if
he
had
not
receiued
speedie
supplies
of
victualls
.
This
report
may
be
true
,
without
any
blemish
to
his
Excellencie
,
since
no
warlike
enterprise
can
haue
his
due
proceeding
,
without
Men
,
Money
,
Munition
and
Victualls
,
which
are
the
meanes
of
an
actiue
motion
.
But
since
that
time
,
the
Siedge
hath
been
continued
with
a
powerfull
hand
,
new
supplies
are
ariued
out
of
England
;
and
the
succours
vnder
the
conduct
of
the
Earles
of
Holland
and
Mo●●on
,
are
vpon
their
passage
towards
the
Island
:
Whose
ariuall
(
I
hope
)
will
crowne
his
Excellencies
head
with
the
wreath
of
Successe
,
and
the
lawrell
of
Victorie
.
A
Relation
of
the
Funerall
solemnitie
of
that
Honorable
Knight
,
Sir
Iohn
Burrowes
,
who
was
interred
at
Westmister
,
on

1627.
ON
tewesday
,
being
the

,
the
Bodie
of
that
Honorable
Knight
Sir
Iohn
Burrowes
(
who
being
Colonell
Generall
of
the
English
Infanterie
in
the
Isle
of
Ree
,
was
slaine
with
a
Musket
shotte
from
the
Fort
)
was
brought
from
Durham
House
to
Westminster
Abbey
,
where
neere
vnto
the
Tombe
of
Sir
Francis
Veare
(
whose
Pupill
he
had
been
in
the
art
of
Warre
)
it
was
interred
,
with
great
funerall
pompe
,
and
with
such
Rites
as
were
due
to
his
deserts
.
To
solemnize
his
Obsequies
,
fiue
Companies
of
of
the
Citie
of
London
were
drawne
into
Armes
,
being
about
twelue
hundred
in
number
,
who
martched
before
the
Corpes
with
their
Cullours
,
Pikes
and
Muskets
trailed
.
The
Pike
which
he
recouered
with
his
Sword
and
Target
from
the
Frenchman
vpon
our
first
landing
(
who
charged
him
with
it
at
the
push
,
and
razed
the
skinne
with
the
point
of
it
thorough
his
breeches
)

and
fiftie
old
Soldiers
,
with
black
Cassockes
,
Swords
and
Staues
,
being
as
many
in
number
as
he
was
yeares
old
.
His
Scutcheon
,
Sword
,
Gauntlets
and
Spurres
,
were
