ILLVSTRIOVS
,
high
and
mighty
Lords
,
Seeing
by
Gods
helpe
I
have
victoriously
conquered
this
place
of
Farnabuck
;
according
to
my
duty
I
could
not
omit
to
give
an
account
unto
Your
Lordships
of
the
manner
and
passages
that
happened
in
the
mastering
of
this
place
,
as
much
as
this
present
time
will
give
me
leave
.
Having
found
Generall
Lonck
with
his
ships
in
the
Bay
of
St.
Vincent
,
after
wee
had
layen
there
some
weekes
till
the
rest
of
our
fleete
came
unto
us
,
being
in
all
fifty
three
sayle
,
manned
with
many
sicke
men
amongst
the
sound
ones
;
on
the
26
of
December
1629
last
,
we
set
forward
for
the
Coast
of
Brasill
;
and
upon
the
12
of
February
following
,
wee
sayled
on
to
the
height
of
eight
degrees
,
where
some
other
of
our
ships
and
pinnaces
came
unto
us
that
had
beene
lost
;
so
that
then
we
were
fifty
sixe
sayles
in
all
:
And
having
met
all
together
in
counsell
,
after
mature
deliberation
wee
sent
out
some
ships
before
to
discover
,
and
resolved
to
assault
the
enemy
in
two
places
,
to
wit
,
I
my selfe
with
2400
souldiers
,
and
300
saylers
.
And
besides
those
,
other
300
Mariners
should
goe
along
with
the
traine
divided
into
16
ships
,
which
should
be
la●ded
some
six
English
miles
to
the
Northward
of
Fernabuck
;
and
the
Generall
to
have
along
with
him
two
other
strong
squadrons
,
which
should
put
into
the
roade
by
the
sea
banke
or
shelfe
.
Which
resolution
was
accordingly
put
in
execution
upon
the
15
day
of
February
last
.
But
in
regard
those
of
the
Castle
were
warned
,
or
suspecting
of
our
comming
,
and
had
therefore
sunke
some
ships
in
the
very
mouth
of
the
shelfe
,
the
Generall
his
designe
could
take
no
effect
,
though
he
did
his
best
endeavour
to
open
the
passage
into
the
shelfe
with
his
Canon
.
In
the
meane
while
a
great
number
of
the
enemies
both
foote
and
horse
shewed
themselves
in
the
afternoone
upon
the
sands
,
which
made
mee
make
for
the
shore
with
sloopes
and
boates
,
where
wee
landed
in
the
sight
and
spight
of
them
all
;
the
rest
of
our
men
following
me
with
two
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
which
carried
a
bullet
of
some
three
pound
weight
.
And
because
it
began
to
be
late
,
I
was
constrained
there
to
abide
and
lye
on
the
sands
all
that
night
.
The
next
day
very
earely
in
the
morning
having
sent
the
boates
and
sloopes
backe
a-againe
to
the
shipping
,
I
ordered
my
troopes
into
three
divisions
.
First
,
the
Avantgard
,
wherein
I
was
present
my selfe
in
person
both
in
landing
the
day
before
,
and
then
upon
our
march
;
and
this
Avantgard
was
commanded
by
Collonell
Eltz
:
The
Battell
was
commanded
by
Lieutenant
Colonell
Steincallenfels
;
and
the
rereward
by
the
Serjeant
Major
Huncks
.
I
led
my selfe
the
Avantgard
along
the
sea
shore
towards
the
towne
,
and
comming
to
the
River
called
Riodolce
,
the
depth
whereof
is
up
to
a
mans
middle
,
and
which
of
necessitie
wee
must
passe
:
There
the
enemie
gave
us
the
first
encounter
,
being
in
my
judgement
strong
about
1800
foote
and
horse
;
But
after
a
hot
onset
,
and
divers
being
flame
and
hurt
on
both
sides
,
(
but
thankes
be
to
God
the
least
number
on
our
side
)
wee
put
them
to
flight
;
notwithstanding
they
had
this
advantage
of
us
of
a
swift
running
water
.
Thus
being
past
and
a
little
further
advanced
on
the
sands
,
we
met
with
a
second
troope
,
who
likewise
made
a
tryall
of
our
resolution
,
assaulting
us
with
a
brave
skirmish
,
and
wee
encountring
them
with
a
great
desire
;
but
after
a
little
resistance
they
made
their
retreate
into
the
woods
.
A
third
time
the
enemies
shewed
themselves
againe
,
but
would
or
durst
no
more
stand
against
us
.
I
then
perceiving
this
feare
and
irresolution
amongst
them
,
marched
in
all
diligence
directly
towards
the
towne
,
and
being
come
neer
to
it
,
we
climed
up
to
the
height
of
the
hill
whereupon
stands
the
Cloyster
of
the
Iesuites
,
and
there
finding
the
gates
thereof
barrocadoed
,
we
fell
on
and
broke
them
open
,
while
part
of
our
enemies
defended
themselves
with
their
weapons
,
and
part
runne
away
:
so
the
others
also
seeing
the
courage
of
our
men
,
after
some
small
opposition
,
they
also
fled
,
leaving
behinde
them
many
dead
and
hurt
men
,
as
also
on
our
side
there
were
slaine
some
.
In
the
meane
while
our
enemies
beneath
on
the
sands
,
and
in
the
trenches
and
forts
perceiving
this
our
proceeding
,
and
being
now
also
set
upon
and
prest
by
our
Reere
,
which
entertained
a
fight
with
them
,
after
many
Canon
shots
made
by
ours
against
them
,
betooke
themselves
at
last
to
their
heeles
,
abandoning
their
Forts
,
which
we
presently
tooke
and
possessed
our selves
thereof
.
Thus
by
the
assistance
of
God
we
became
masters
of
the
towne
,
after
we
had
lost
by
reason
of
the
great
heate
in
the
fight
about
50
or
60
souldiers
in
all
.
The
Iesuites
cloister
wherein
I
my selfe
lye
,
and
some
other
avenues
and
passages
,
wee
presently
fortified
against
any
assaults
that
the
enemie
could
make
upon
us
.
The
20
of
February
last
I
commanded
Colonell
Steincallenfels
,
with
the
advice
of
the
councell
,
to
see
if
he
could
surprise
the
great
fort
that
lieth
upon
the
shelfe
on
the
land
side
And
truly
he
carried
himselfe
bravely
,
and
gave
an
assault
upon
it
that
lasted
two
houres
together
;
but
because
our
ladders
were
too
short
,
it
was
thought
good
to
prevent
the
spoyling
of
more
men
,
to
retreate
after
the
losse
of
some
20
slaine
and
40
hurt
;
the
enemy
having
on
his
side
also
lost
some
12
that
were
slaine
by
ours
.
And
seeing
wee
could
not
carry
so
easily
that
fort
by
an
assault
,
we
resolved
on
the
23
of
February
,
to
take
it
by
approaches
,
and
forthwith
to
cause
Canon
baskets
and
other
necessaries
to
be
prepared
and
set
up
.
All
which
was
done
accordingly
,
and
with
such
an
expedition
,
that
on
the
27
of
the
same
moneth
with
500
men
wee
began
to
breake
ground
and
to
runne
a
trench
and
a
line
towards
the
Castle
,
which
stood
betweene
the
village
scituated
upon
the
shelfe
and
the
towne
:
And
the
next
day
Lieutenant
Colonell
Eltz
,
who
commanded
the
battery
,
being
almost
in
a
readinesse
,
hee
was
relieved
that
night
by
Serjeant
Major
Huncks
:
I
also
going
thither
in
person
,
on
the
next
morning
very
early
the
battery
was
finished
of
3
halfe
Canon
;
we
played
all
that
morning
,
discharging
708
shot
till
about
nine
of
the
clock
in
the
forenoon
.
Then
the
besieged
called
for
a
parley
,
holding
out
a
white
sheete
,
and
sending
forth
a
Captaine
,
with
whom
wee
presently
came
to
a
composition
,
to
wit
:
That
they
leaving
the
Fort
to
us
should
march
out
without
colours
,
or
lighted
matches
;
leaving
behinde
them
all
their
ordnance
,
amunition
and
victualls
that
were
in
the
Castle
,
which
we
suppose
they
cast
the
most
part
of
them
into
the
Sea
,
because
we
could
finde
but
little
in
it
;
Besides
,
that
they
should
binde
themselves
by
promise
to
shew
no
hostility
against
our
state
in
sixe
moneths
after
.
This
being
done
,
wee
summoned
up
also
the
other
Castle
,
which
stands
upon
the
entrance
into
the
shelfe
.
The
Generall
Admirall
and
Vice-Admirall
being
advertised
thereof
,
and
comming
unto
us
,
approved
of
the
Councell
,
and
so
sending
a
drumme
unto
the
said
Castle
,
they
within
it
presently
sent
out
a
Lieutenant
(
upon
condition
of
leaving
one
of
ours
as
hostage
in
his
place
)
who
from
the
Commander
thereof
had
order
to
treate
with
us
,
and
to
frame
certaine
articles
or
conditions
,
which
were
signed
on
both
sides
:
And
so
this
great
fort
being
given
over
also
unto
us
this
day
,
we
became
not
onely
masters
of
both
these
forts
,
but
also
withall
of
the
haven
and
the
whole
shelfe
.
The
next
day
being
the
third
of
March
,
I
commanded
Lieutenant
Colonell
Steincallenfels
to
make
an
enterprise
upon
the
I
le
of
Antonia
Vaaz
,
lying
right
over
against
the
village
that
stood
upon
the
shelfe
,
which
he
did
in
launching
over
some
boates
:
But
thankes
be
to
God
,
the
enemies
having
already
knowledge
that
wee
were
masters
of
the
two
forts
,
they
fled
away
without
any
making
of
resistance
.
In
the
Cloyster
that
stands
upon
that
I
le
hee
lodged
a
company
of
his
men
.
And
thus
at
last
the
Towne
,
Castles
and
Forts
(
none
remaining
)
fell
under
our
command
.
I
doubt
not
but
my
Lords
the
Administratours
of
this
Company
will
second
us
in
this
our
victory
,
to
the
end
they
may
enjoy
the
fruites
thereof
;
this
being
indeede
a
place
invincible
,
if
it
be
well
seconded
and
provided
for
:
It
is
of
good
temperature
,
having
fresh
and
good
waters
,
and
good
store
of
meate
:
A
place
I
say
of
driving
the
greatest
trade
in
all
Brasill
;
and
which
trade
(
by
Gods
grace
)
will
encrease
mightily
if
it
be
reduced
to
peace
;
and
such
a
place
as
will
curbe
all
Brasill
,
seeing
there
is
such
a
feare
and
terrour
amongst
the
enemies
throughout
the
whole
land
already
:
And
I
hope
to
make
such
a
progresse
into
it
,
that
your
Lordships
name
shall
live
perpetually
in
it
;
And
that
by
the
taking
of
this
towne
,
with
the
forts
therunto
belonging
,
all
Brasill
will
be
bridled
and
brought
into
subjection
,
and
the
enemies
navigations
along
the
coast
utterly
destroyed
;
which
will
be
the
way
to
take
this
trading
from
them
,
and
to
reduce
the
Inhabitants
thereof
to
a
mutuall
love
,
amity
,
and
strict
alliance
.
Thus
God
preserve
your
Lordships
as
preservers
of
his
people
,
in
all
prosperity
,
to
the
glory
of
his
Name
,
and
to
the
confusion
of
all
our
enemies
,
Amen
.

Relation
of
what
lately
happened
at
the
taking
of
the
Citty
and
Castle
of
Pignerolle
,
and
the
pillaging
of
Rivolle
,
by
Monsieur
de
Crequy
.
THE
armes
of
the
King
having
appeased
and
setled
the
great
troubles
of
his
Kingdome
,
and
his
lillies
flourishing
with
a
sweet
tranquillity
beyond
desire
and
expectation
;
his
Majestie
would
now
cause
the
enemies
of
his
Crowne
to
be
sensible
of
the
power
and
endeavours
of
the
same
;
and
to
that
end
and
purpose
conducted
his
forces
into
Italy
under
the
command
of
my
Lord
the
Cardinall
of
Richelieu
:
Where
his
Highnesse
of
Savoy
(
whose
spirit
can
never
be
at
rest
)
had
for
a
certaine
space
of
time
given
threatning
speaches
that
hee
would
employ
his
forces
thither
for
the
service
of
his
Majesty
;
and
to
this
effect
did
offer
and
present
unto
the
King
all
manner
of
submission
in
true
and
certaine
fidelity
,
assuring
my
Lord
the
Cardinall
of
Richelieu
(
who
was
Commander
and
leader
of
the
Kings
army
)
of
free
passage
into
Italy
.
The
Lord
Cardinall
,
whose
judgement
and
understanding
vertue
hath
adorned
and
endued
with
all
manner
of
qualities
required
in
a
General
of
an
army
,
well
knowing
by
experience
that
the
foresaid
his
Highnesse
of
Savoy
had
oftentimes
made
the
like
and
great
protestations
to
the
King
,
and
that
notwithstanding
there
was
never
any
trust
or
credence
to
be
given
to
his
promises
,
not
at
this
time
degenerating
from
his
excellent
disposition
,
would
not
accept
of
this
his
offer
,
unlesse
first
of
all
hee
would
deliver
into
his
hands
divers
Townes
which
are
upon
the
passage
into
Italy
,
to
the
end
that
he
might
retaine
them
within
the
limits
of
reason
,
if
perchance
hee
would
doe
that
which
should
proove
contrary
to
the
thing
he
had
promised
unto
the
King
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
not
knowing
how
he
might
closely
hide
,
and
afterwards
bring
to
passe
his
treacherous
intention
,
well
knowing
that
the
Cardinall
did
use
a
great
deale
of
prudence
and
policy
,
and
that
his
Romish
Cardinalls
hat
did
not
any
way
diminish
or
hinder
his
valour
,
resolved
to
grant
him
his
demaund
,
that
thereby
he
might
the
better
colour
over
his
pernicious
designe
.
But
the
said
Lord
Cardinall
using
a
great
deale
of
requisite
providence
and
precaution
,
according
to
his
accustomed
manner
,
placed
strong
garrisons
into
those
townes
,
which
the
Duke
of
Savoy
had
given
into
his
possession
,
and
in
the
meane
space
advanced
his
Army
into
Italy
;
ever
being
vigilant
,
and
having
an
especiall
care
of
all
the
actions
and
passages
of
his
Highnesse
of
Savoy
,
expecting
no
other
issue
nor
performance
of
his
promise
,
but
onely
a
marke
and
token
of
his
infidelity
.
In
the
meane
time
,
whilest
the
Army
of
the
King
(
conducted
under
the
command
of
the
Cardinall
Richelieu
)
marched
and
advanced
into
Italy
,
and
that
they
must
needs
come
unto
hands
with
some
troopes
of
Spanish
,
his
Highnesse
of
Savoy
being
inspired
with
an
evill
winde
,
as
that
is
ordinary
to
him
,
betakes
himselfe
to
his
accustomed
inconstancy
and
infidelity
,
trusting
,
that
by
such
an
action
he
should
hinder
and
overthrow
the
designe
and
intention
of
his
Majesty
:
But
God
who
commands
the
very
secrets
of
the
King
,
would
not
suffer
his
will
and
intention
to
prevaile
and
take
effect
.
Whereupon
having
performed
this
stratagem
,
the
Lord
Cardinall
possessed
himselfe
of
all
the
townes
which
he
retained
for
hostage
,
and
gave
the
towne
of
Rivolle
to
to
his
souldiers
for
pillage
.
Which
being
done
,
hee
caused
certaine
Regiments
conducted
under
the
hand
of
the
Lord
Marshal
de
Crequi
,
to
march
toward
the
Towne
and
Castle
of
Pignerolle
;
which
the
said
Lord
Marshall
invested
with
a
diligence
and
vigilancie
agreeable
to
such
a
valorous
courage
.
And
at
the
very
first
vollie
of
Canon
shot
he
reduced
the
same
towne
under
the
command
and
obedience
of
the
King
without
losse
of
any
of
his
men
.
The
Lord
Marshall
besides
this
,
well
knowing
that
it
was
necessary
and
requisite
furiously
to
assault
the
Cittadell
or
Castle
,
before
the
same
could
be
constrained
to
yeeld
,
hee
caused
all
his
batteries
to
shoote
,
thereby
to
make
tryall
whether
or
no
those
within
the
Castle
were
resolved
to
keepe
the
same
.
Those
within
having
made
certaine
shot
at
the
Kings
forces
,
the
Lord
de
Crequi
caused
a
generall
assault
to
be
made
,
in
which
assault
the
Count
de
Saulx
did
behave
himselfe
most
valiantly
,
obtaining
to
himselfe
the
Crowne
of
the
walls
,
by
scanding
the
first
and
chiefe
Bul
warke
,
which
he
gained
with
an
invincible
courage
.
The
enemie
having
retired
themselves
into
the
strong
hold
or
Fort
within
the
Castle
,
the
Lord
de
Crequy
caused
a
retreate
to
be
founded
,
and
the
next
day
following
those
within
the
Castle
finding
themselves
sorely
prest
and
hardly
put
to
it
and
having
also
lost
their
principall
Bulwarke
,
seeing
also
that
the
Lord
de
Crequi
had
mastered
the
towne
,
then
they
made
signe
for
a
parley
.
The
Lord
Marshall
de
Crequy
sent
unto
them
to
know
what
they
demanded
;
their
answer
was
to
yeeld
,
but
on
this
condition
,
that
faithfull
promise
might
be
made
unto
them
,
that
ever
after
they
might
remaine
under
the
government
and
obedience
of
the
King
,
which
the
said
Lord
Marshall
de
Crequi
assured
them
of
.
And
the
one
and
thirtieth
day
of
March
being
Easterday
,
at
seven
a
clocke
in
the
morning
,
these
Lords
,
the
Lord
Marshall
de
Crequi
,
Count
de
Saulx
,
and
de
Villeroy
,
entred
into
the
Castle
with
two
Companies
of
foote
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
at
the
present
is
much
perplexed
,
and
knowes
not
which
way
to
turne
himselfe
;
for
whithersoever
hee
lookes
hee
sees
his
owne
calamity
,
the
ruine
and
destruction
of
his
Country
,
having
now
lost
Rivolle
,
Pignerolle
,
and
other
places
for
his
safety
,
and
which
indeede
were
bulwarks
unto
Italy
.
This
is
all
that
passed
in
Piedmont
at
the
taking
of
the
Towne
and
Castle
of
Pignerolle
;
unto
which
Castle
the
Lord
Marshall
de
Crequy
addes
all
necessaries
,
and
carries
all
possible
care
for
the
keeping
and
maintaining
of
the
same
under
the
Crowne
and
obedience
of
France
.
O
you
French
Nation
,
for
this
must
you
make
prayers
and
supplications
unto
the
Almighty
,
that
he
will
be
pleased
to
blesse
and
preserve
his
Annointed
Lewis
the
Iust
,
beseeching
his
Majesty
to
afford
us
this
grace
and
favour
,
that
we
may
see
this
King
flourish
,
and
to
heape
upon
our
King
blessings
and
happinesse
,
giving
him
a
successful
offspring
,
to
favor
our
Prince
Dauphin
,
giving
him
victory
over
all
his
enemies
.
Heaven
grant
that
our
prayers
may
be
received
at
his
hands
to
whom
we
direct
them
,
and
that
his
great
goodnesse
be
pleased
to
grant
us
whatsoever
we
demand
,
blessing
our
King
,
directing
his
enterprises
,
giving
him
the
accomplishment
of
all
his
good
intentions
,
with
the
augmentation
and
increase
of
his
Crowne
and
Kingdome
