The
Actions
and
Occurrences
in
upper
GERMANY
.
THe
Winter
&
Spring
were
times
of
preparation
only
,
Summer
and
Autumne
yeelding
forage
for
the
cattle
,
and
meat
for
the
Army
,
was
the
season
,
wherein
the
martial
men
came
to
action
;
and
then
the
Austrians
and
Saxons
Confederates
,
resolving
to
cleare
the
Empire
of
all
forreine
invaders
,
and
to
subdue
the
native
Princes
,
which
had
taken
up
Armes
for
conservation
of
their
ancient
Dignities
and
Liberties
,
mustered
up
a
greater
Army
,
then
ever
they
had
since
their
first
combination
:
Iohn
de
Werth
being
appointed
by
the
Bavarian
to
cleer
the
Rhine
,
the
Baron
of
Doun
t●
belieger
Hanaw
in
the
Weteraw
,
the
Austrian
Generals
,
Gallas
,
Marazini
,
Hatzfeldt
,
Goëts
,
and
Godfrey
Huyn
,
Baron
of
Gehlen
,
being
deputed
to
succour
the
Electors
of
Saxony
&
Brandenburgh
against
the
Swedes
and
their
Allies
.
The
fortunate
successe
of
Ramsey
,
James
Ramsey
whose
great
spirit
and
dextrous
wit
,
Envy
cannot
but
commend
,
by
the
nimbleresse
of
his
apprehension
:
all
this
notwithstanding
qui●●●y
invented
a
way
for
bringing
fresh
succour
to
his
Friends
,
and
assisted
by
the
valour
of
some
of
his
owne
Regiment
,
The
glory
of
such
an
Enterprise
is
not
to
be
valued
by
the
issue
.
A
daring
man
will
make
his
abilities
to
appeare
where
danger
is
,
and
though
Fortune
may
crosse
him
in
his
designe
,
malice
cannot
blemish
him
in
his
honour
It
was
thus
.
The
Hanovers
in
the
beginning
of
May
had
surprized
a
Convoy
of
a
hundred
Malters
of
Corn
designed
for
the
use
of
the
great
Provost
,
Metternichy
.
May
15/25
,
was
designed
for
putting
the
stratagem
forward
.
A
vessell
capacious
of
that
burden
,
and
more
was
laden
,
and
foure
Souldiers
only
(
that
there
might
be
no
suspition
of
fraud
appointed
to
carry
the
Barke
thither
.
Towards
Evening
,
the
Skippers
with
their
charge
,
were
descryed
upon
the
Mayn
neer
Frankford
,
and
there
being
summoned
,
produced
their
Passe
and
Letters
,
which
being
entertained
as
authentical●
and
true
,
gave
them
free
liberty
to
go
forward
withoul
any
further
questioning
them
.
Hoechst
was
the
next
place
where
they
feared
any
molestation
;
and
there
they
found
some
trouble
,
but
such
as
being
once
over
,
rather
incouraged
then
disheartned
them
.
The
Commander
there
suspecting
a
pad
in
the
straw
.
—
Et
metuens
Danaos
,
&
donaferentes
,
began
to
sift
them
more
narrowly
,
and
grounding
his
resolve
rather
upon
supposition
,
then
any
pregnant
proofs
,
instantly
disarmed
the
souldiers
,
and
stayed
them
till
morning
,
when
thinking
these
Gibeonites
to
have
dealt
sincerely
with
him
,
he
restored
their
Armes
,
and
gave
them
a
free
liberty
to
proceed
.
The
favour
of
the
stream
and
winde
brought
them
soon
after
below
the
Castle
of
Keltzersbach
,
where
,
upon
a
necke
of
Land
covered
with
sedge
,
and
made
almost
for
such
a
designe
,
some
other
Hanovian
troups
attended
them
with
six
Waggons
laden
with
Bacon
,
Mentz
,
Bingen
,
and
other
places
to
looke
out
and
stay
these
adventurers
.
The
adviso
was
no
sooner
come
,
but
a
watch
was
charged
,
and
sundry
Boats
disoatched
to
the
Mayne
,
and
the
Rhine
,
some
to
way-lay
them
,
and
some
to
pursue
after
them
.
At
Bingen
,
the
Scouts
discovered
them
,
and
the
Austrian
souldiers
,
neere
the
Tower
de
Rats
,
or
Mouse-steeple
,
grappled
with
them
,
after
a
small
conflict
,
in
which
they
slew
six
of
the
Hanouers
,
mastered
the
rest
,
took
the
ship
and
burden
,
detained
the
Captaine
and
the
rest
of
the
souldiers
prisoners
,
threw
the
Granadoes
and
other
military
instruments
into
the
Rhine
,
and
sent
the
provision
to
the
Elector
of
Mentz
,
who
for
a
gratification
to
the
Governour
of
Bingen
,
bestowed
upon
him
the
prisoners
,
and
their
ransomes
.
Ramsey
,
who
was
rather
angry
,
Yet
all
the
vicinage
began
then
to
be
filled
with
horrour
,
John
de
Werths
souldiers
.
the
high-ways
were
become
unpassable
,
the
Hanovian
,
or
Bavarian
souldiers
without
respect
of
persons
,
pillaging
all
they
met
.
The
Count
of
Pentz
Embassadour
for
the
King
of
Denmarke
,
to
the
King
of
Hungary
,
and
States
of
Germany
,
had
been
at
Mentz
with
the
Elector
,
and
there
received
honorably
,
but
upon
his
return
,
thirty
horsmen
(
at
first
supposed
to
have
been
of
Ramseys
Regiment
,
but
proved
afterwards
to
be
Bavarians
,
and
under
the
command
of
Iohn
de
Werth
)
without
regard
either
of
his
own
condition
,
or
the
dignity
of
the
persons
,
from
whom
and
to
whom
hee
was
sent
,
after
they
had
slaine
his
Steward
,
and
wounded
some
other
of
his
servants
,
laid
violent
hands
on
him
,
robd
him
of
all
his
money
and
jewels
,
and
in
a
miserable
plight
turned
him
on
the
way
toward
Aschafemburgh
,
where
his
wants
were
supplyed
by
the
Elector
of
Mentz
,
with
necessaries
for
his
journey
,
and
a
safe
conduct
towards
Wertzburg
.
The
Garrison
in
Hermenstein
,
by
this
beganne
to
see
their
own
,
and
Ramseys
danger
,
Ramsey
being
unable
to
relieve
them
any
more
,
or
they
to
hold
out
long
against
the
Bavarian
,
First
,
that
hee
might
march
away
freely
with
those
fifteen
peeces
of
Canon
,
which
the
Swedes
had
brought
thither
from
Mentz
.
Secondly
,
That
the
Elector
should
admit
no
other
praesidiary
Souldiers
there
,
save
of
his
own
forces
only
.
Thirdly
,
that
if
any
change
should
happen
,
he
should
surrender
it
to
no
other
but
the
Elector
of
Tryer
only
,
and
lastly
,
that
the
Elector
should
give
a
pledge
to
the
most
Christian
King
for
performance
of
these
covenants
:
But
all
these
conditions
seemed
unreasonable
to
the
Elector
,
who
thereupon
for
that
time
dismissed
the
Deputies
,
without
any
further
treaty
.
The
Baron
of
Werth
,
who
all
this
time
ceased
from
using
his
instruments
of
battery
against
the
Fort
,
expecting
to
have
it
yielded
without
such
compulsive
enforcement
,
seeing
the
French
Agents
return
without
testimonials
of
any
pacificous
transaction
,
prepares
to
gaine
it
by
force
of
Armes
,
planted
his
battery
and
shot
fiercely
against
it
,
fitted
his
Granadoes
,
and
cast
them
into
the
Fort
upon
the
new
building
,
and
was
answered
again
by
the
Garrison
in
the
same
Dialect
,
receiving
farre
more
damage
from
them
,
then
he
did
unto
them
,
his
great
shot
being
spent
upon
mud-wals
,
which
by
gentle
yielding
to
the
harder
body
were
neither
shaken
nor
shattered
,
and
his
Granadoes
prevented
by
the
care
of
the
Garrison
from
doing
the
inward
buildings
any
prejudice
;
whilest
the
shot
from
the
Castle
much
impeached
the
Campe
,
and
the
Granadoes
,
which
the
Commander
caused
to
be
flung
into
Confluentia
,
brought
thither
a
confluence
of
mischief
.
First
,
Secondly
,
That
a
salvo
Conducto
,
shall
be
granted
to
the
Garrison
by
the
Elector
of
Colen
,
the
Cardinall
Infant
,
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
,
and
the
Citie
of
Colen
.
Thirdly
,
That
after
the
receit
of
the
said
Passe
,
the
Garrison
shall
depart
within
two
dayes
,
according
to
the
custome
of
warre
with
bag
and
baggage
,
high
and
low
weapons
,
two
of
those
pieces
of
Ordnance
,
which
were
brought
thither
by
the
Swedes
,
and
be
conducted
downe
the
River
of
Rhine
,
as
farre
as
Orsoy
:
all
which
was
observed
accordingly
,
and
June
17/●7
the
French
were
carried
with
a
Convoy
,
down
the
Rhine
towards
Holland
,
being
furnished
with
sufficient
provision
for
their
journey
,
from
Lintz
and
Bonne
,
by
command
of
the
Elector
of
Colen
,
and
from
Monhaimb
by
direction
of
the
Duke
of
Newburgh
.
During
the
treaty
with
Hermenstein
,
two
Imperiall
Regiments
under
the
command
of
Henneberger
,
and
the
Earle
of
Dohna
,
were
sent
against
Selingenstat
,
Roman
Eagles
,
and
carried
the
rest
,
that
would
not
serve
them
prisoners
to
Bobenhausen
.
Though
they
be
unable
to
avenge
themselves
,
they
may
perhaps
have
Allyes
which
are
both
sensible
of
their
injuries
,
and
able
to
repay
them
.
The
hard
usage
of
his
souldiours
,
Iohn
de
Werth
upon
the
composition
with
the
French
at
Hermanstein
,
sent
the
Avant-guard
of
his
Army
before
to
block
up
Hanaw
,
threatning
the
City
to
come
with
the
mayn
body
of
his
Army
,
and
engirt
it
round
.
But
those
forces
were
sodainly
called
back
,
a
piece
of
more
difficulty
was
designed
for
him
,
nor
was
he
alone
with
his
own
Regiments
able
to
undertake
it
.
An
hideous
tempest
was
raysed
in
Burgundy
,
and
now
began
to
approch
the
Rhine
,
D.
Bernhard
loaden
with
the
spoyls
,
of
the
Lorrainer
,
was
comming
that
way
with
his
victorious
Armes
,
and
the
Bavarian
assisted
with
the
Sperenterish
and
Salish
Regiments
,
and
the
Crabats
under
Isolany
,
was
appointed
to
oppose
him
;
and
away
he
matched
towards
Basil
,
to
meet
with
his
own
associates
,
and
oppose
the
French
forces
under
the
Almayn
Dukes
command
,
but
the
successe
must
be
referred
to
its
proper
place
.
Ramsey's
History
,
who
all
this
while
had
lived
like
a
free
Prince
,
in
the
midst
of
his
professed
Enemies
,
and
left
not
his
charge
at
last
as
by
enforcement
,
but
voluntarily
,
with
the
consent
,
and
approbation
,
and
for
the
use
of
the
Princes
for
whom
hee
kept
it
,
and
with
profit
and
honour
to
himselfe
,
maugre
the
malice
of
his
Enemies
,
must
now
be
recorded
.
Our
English-Scottish
Colonell
,
by
the
departure
of
the
Bavarians
,
having
got
a
little
time
of
breathing
,
was
not
idle
,
but
spent
the
few
dayes
of
respite
,
he
had
in
repayring
the
fortifications
,
revictualling
the
City
,
&
abating
the
power
of
his
ill
affected
neighbours
.
Solms
Lawbach
,
to
administer
the
Government
during
the
Earls
absence
,
the
old
Governour
made
a
cessation
of
Arms
,
with
the
asseegers
,
with
declaration
of
the
cause
,
for
a
time
of
conference
about
the
sum
,
which
hee
expected
as
a
requitall
of
the
offices
hee
had
done
that
City
,
and
they
as
willing
to
be
rid
of
one
,
who
with
a
small
power
,
had
often
pillaged
their
Territories
,
as
desirous
after
the
mischiefs
of
War
,
to
have
a
glimpse
of
the
much
desired
rayes
of
peace
,
not
only
willingly
condescended
therunto
,
but
when
the
Colonell
had
sent
his
Agents
to
the
Eector
of
Mentz
,
to
treat
about
his
satisfaction
,
Frank
forders
sent
theirs
also
to
the
same
effect
,
and
the
Marquesse
of
Darmstat
,
who
had
then
made
a
truce
with
the
Colonell
,
interposed
himselfe
,
as
an
umpire
,
or
at
least
mediatour
in
that
negotiation
.
Some
time
was
spent
,
as
it
is
ordinary
in
matters
of
such
nature
,
about
the
summe
to
be
paid
,
and
the
persons
from
whom
it
was
to
be
expected
;
yet
in
the
end
by
the
earnest
solicitation
of
the
Marquesse
,
both
were
agreed
on
,
and
50000
Rix
Dollers
were
appointed
the
Commander
,
from
the
Moguntine
,
the
Bishop
of
Wirtzburg
,
and
the
Imperiall
City
of
Frankford
(
the
summe
in
our
English
account
is
15000
pound
sterling
)
and
the
Commander
resigned
his
authority
,
to
the
Count
of
Solms
Lawbach
,
with
conditions
to
stay
in
Hanaw
as
a
private
man
,
till
the
money
was
paid
in
,
and
then
to
have
a
safe
conduct
to
the
Swedish
Army
,
or
to
what
other
place
himselfe
upon
more
deliberation
would
nominate
for
his
safetie
.

doubting
such
horrid
consequents

ensue

presented
themselves
to

Now
began
a
new
time
of
trouble
,
fire
and
sword
raging
in
many
parts
of
the
Empire
,
not
only
casually

of
such
as
used

The
Almayne
Duke
of
Saxon
Weymar
,
whose
brave
exploits
in
the
French
County
,
must
be
referred
to
their
proper
head
,
about
the
midst
of
Iune
dividing

Army

execution
of

at
Browstat

by
the
way
of
Porrentruy
towards
Alsatia
,
with
an
injunction
to
meet
him
at
Browstat
neer
Mulhausen
the
first

Iuly

,
the
day
and
place
designed
for

,
and
himselfe
followed
by
the
way
of
Danne
,
whither
before
,
with
an
able
Convoy
,
hee
had
sent
two
Waggons
laden
with
money
for
payment
of
his
Army
.
Neither
of
them
failed
in
the
least
circumstance
,
and
both
meeting
at
the
time
and
place
appointed
a
Counsell
o●
Warre
was
called
,
and
according
to
the
conclusion
there
resolved
of
some
few
days
after
,
the
Lieutenant
Generall
marched
towards
Basil
,
with
one
part
of
the
Army
to
conferre
with
the
Magistrate
there
about
the
present
occasions
,
and
his
Highnesse
having
stayed
a
while
in
the
Campe
,
with
Manicampe
the
Field-marshall
,
and
Lieutenant
Governour
Generall
for
the
King
in
Alsatia
,
and
particularly
Commander
of
Colmar
,
who
came
to
visit
him
,
Colmar
,
Schlestat
,
and
Guemar
,
and
his
own
company
of
light-horse
followed
them
,
and
found
there
certaine
Boats
laid
upon
the
carriages
made
ready
for
his
service
,
by
Moquell
the
Governour
resident
for
the
Crown
of
Sweden
there
.
Here
another
Counsell
of
Warre
was
called
for
prosecution
of
the
Dukes
designe
,
and
the
Commanders
differing
in
their
particular
opinions
,
(
it
not
being
disputed
what
was
to
be
done
,
but
how
)
according
to
their
severall
intelligences
of
the
posture
,
&
gesture
of
the
Enemy
,
the
Duke
commanded
the
valiant
Schonbeck
(
the
Colonell
who
had
formerly
so
bravely
defended
Cazel-outre
,
with
three
hundred
men
,
forty
waggons
,
and
forty
〈◊〉
all
Boats
to
attempt
the
passage
.
His
valiant
heart
could
not
disobey
,
though
in
probability
those
vessels
of
so
litle
bulk
could
be
of
as
little
avayle
for
the
transporting
of
an
Army
.
The
Colonell
had
no
sooner
put
his
hand
to
work
,
but
good
fortune
(
seldome
a
foe
to
an
hardy
man
)
furnished
him
with
what
he
wanted
.
Three
great
Bottoms
loaden
with
Merchants
goods
,
were
tugging
up
the
streame
from
Strasburg
to
Basil
,
those
he
seized
of
,
Wirtemberg
,
Manicampe
,
and
other
Commanders
passed
over
to
the
other
side
:
his
Army
being
conducted
after
him
,
in
the
smal
vessels
which
were
brought
from
Benefieldt
,
and
some
others
which
came
downe
the
small
Cut
,
which
runneth
from
Schlestat
into
the
Eltzer
,
and
were
so
brought
into
the
Rhine
for
that
service
.
An
happy
beginning
it
was
,
and
almost
beyond
the
Dukes
expectation
,
but
Commencement
n'est
pas
fuseé
,
as
it
is
in
the
French
Proverbe
,
it
is
not
the
first
Scene
,
but
the
last
Act
that
deserves
a
plaudite
;
now
began
the
busie
season
,
and
to
come
off
well
,
or
goe
forward
successively
,
was
the
Generals
mayn
intention
.
Hee
had
with
him
but
a
part
of
his
Army
,
was
landed
in
the
Enemies
Country
,
was
not
ignorant
of
the
preparations
against
him
,
and
as
it
behoved
him
for
his
better
safety
,
he
was
bound
to
fortifie
his
Campe
,
&
to
have
a
strong
place
of
retyring
upon
occasion
.
He
provided
for
both
,
entrenching
himself
till
his
forces
could
come
in
,
and
fortifying
a
small
Isle
made
by
the
Elster
and
the
Rhine
,
Iohn
de
We●th
,
&
is
still
victorious
.
for
his
retirement
.
The
Baron
of
Werth
not
willing
to
give
him
a
breathing
time
,
foure
severall
times
assaulted
him
with
the
strength
of
his
Army
,
which
consisting
at
the
first
of
4000
horse
,
and
as
many
foot
,
was
then
engrossed
with
three
Companies
of
horse
by
Rhinacker
Governour
of
Brissack
,
but
was
still
repulsed
with
losse
,
and
in
the
end
forced
to
Offenbach
,
with
the
losse
of
above
1000
men
in
these
Encounters
,
500
dead
corpses
being
found
dead
upon
the
place
,
and
many
horsemen
,
carrying
away
their
dead
Comerades
behinde
them
,
and
all
the
Officers
of
one
whole
Regiment
slain
except
one
Corporall
,
and
the
Duke
with
the
losse
of
130
men
got
a
happy
victory
.
The
Rhinegrave
in
the
mean
time
was
as
successefully
imployed
at
Ensisheim
,
his
Ordnance
having
made
a
breach
on
the
one
side
his
forces
,
Duke
Hallier
being
come
to
the
Territory
of
Basil
,
foreslowed
no
time
,
for
dispatch
of
his
businesse
,
but
sent
to
the
Magistrate
,
and
his
assistants
in
the
administration
of
that
State
.
Immediatly
desiring
them
to
permit
his
Army
to
crosse
the
Rhine
by
their
Bridge
,
Helvetian
,
Cantons
,
of
whom
that
City
was
one
,
without
infringment
wherof
,
they
could
not
but
condescend
to
his
just
,
and
fair
propositions
.
It
was
disputed
a
while
in
the
State-house
what
was
to
be
done
,
many
objections
interposing
themselves
betwixt
their
assent
,
and
his
desire
,
yet
in
the
end
his
last
request
was
granted
,
great
store
of
Bisket
was
baked
there
for
his
Army
,
the
meate
being
his
owne
,
and
brought
out
of
Burgundy
,
and
he
marched
away
to
Rhinaw
,
to
conjoyn
with
his
Generall
the
Duke
of
Weymar
,
who
had
laid
a
bridge
of
Boats
there
,
and
caused
the
forces
under
the
Rhinegrave
,
to
be
transported
over
three
leagues
below
Strasburg
,
to
the
great
affrightment
of
the
Country
people
,
who
ghessing
diversly
of
the
Dukes
designe
,
Some
judging
his
course
to
be
for
Swalen
,
and
the
Bodensea
,
others
for
Franconia
and
Bavaria
,
no
man
knowing
certainly
,
which
way
hee
would
advance
the
better
sort
,
with
the
best
of
their
goods
fled
towards
Bavaria
,
and
the
stronger
forts
to
preserve
themselves
from
pillaging
.
While
these
two
opposite
Armies
were
incamping
,
the
Bavarian
in
the
Kentzinguer
Valley
,
taking
up
his
head-quarter
in
the
Marquisate
of
Baden
,
to
secure
the
City
of
Kentzinguen
,
upon
which
hee
supposed
Duke
Bernhard
would
have
an
especiall
eye
,
it
being
one
of
the
Keyes
of
Brisgow
,
and
an
inlet
to
the
Dukedome
of
Wertemberg
,
and
the
Aleman
Duke
at
Witemweir
,
Plessis
Foumechon
Captain
of
a
Burgundian
Regiment
,
residing
then
in
Haguenaw
,
and
Keeper
of
the
Saurne
Port
,
to
advance
the
French
affaires
about
the
Rhine
,
and
impeach
the
Bavarian
Commander
in
his
designes
.
Some
Peasants
that
came
thither
to
Market
,
informed
him
,
that
John
de
Werth
,
the
better
to
inable
himselfe
to
oppose
Duke
Bernhard
,
had
drawn
out
of
the
Isle
of
Cahehousen
,
an
Iland
upon
the
Rhine
,
neer
the
Village
of
Troussenon
,
600
old
Souldiers
,
and
had
left
200
men
only
to
keep
it
.
The
Island
though
not
big
,
as
being
but
three
English
miles
in
compasse
,
was
of
no
small
importance
for
the
French
if
they
could
master
it
,
the
Forts
there
serving
as
so
many
Blockhouses
to
secure
their
free
passage
to
and
fro
,
over
the
River
,
and
yielding
liberty
of
commerce
to
the
Haguenois
up
and
down
the
Rhine
,
the
small
stream
upon
which
Haguenaw
is
seated
,
burying
his
water
in
that
famous
Floud
point-blank
over
against
that
Island
;
and
moved
with
these
arguments
,
hee
discovered
his
project
to
Chalanceé
,
then
prime
Commander
for
the
Christian
King
in
that
City
,
desiring
him
not
to
slip
so
fair
an
opportunity
,
which
if
now
neglected
,
might
perhaps
be
long
expected
,
and
never
attained
unto
,
but
to
send
out
some
forces
instantly
,
and
assault
the
Germans
,
A
Combatant
in
a
single
Duell
,
shews
his
skill

,
if
when
hee
is
in
the
List
hee
comply
to
the
wards
,
and
foynes
of
his
Enemy
;
but
a
Commander
in
warre
ought
to
be
perfectly
instructed
of
the
strength
,
fortifications
,
and
warlike
preparations
made
by
the
adverse
party
,
before
he

To
clear
all
doubts
hee
imployed
the
Relator
to
treat
with
the
Officer
of
Biche
,
Nothing
was
omitted
by
the
Almayns
,
which
might
have
been
for
their
own
assecuration
:
such
a
storm
was
expected
,
and
they
laboured
to
prevent
it
,
the
wayes
were
encombred
with
trees
layed
athwart
them
,
and
those
so
impeached
his
march
,
that
though
hee
had
so
laid
his
gests
,
that
hee
intended
to
have
been
upon
the
Island
by

Chalance

his
fair
treaty
of
the
Boores
,
had
got
a
better
assurance
of
their
affections
,
then
his
forces
had
of
holding
the
Island
.
Violence
could
not
winne
the
love
of
the
Islanders
,
but
Arms
might
perhaps
force
the
strong
holds
to
the
Bavarians
subjection
,
who
knowing
the
value
of
his
losse
,
in
the
losse
therof
,
August
9/19
,
commanded
out
the
Colonell

with
2000
selected
men
,
chosen
out
of
his
whole
Army
,
and
forty
Trumpets

This
stake
was
drawn
by
the
bie
,
Duke
Bernard
neverthelesse
still
put
on
for
the
Mayn
.
His
designe
was
of
a
higher
strein
,
and
though
this
little
piece
of
land
upon
the
Rhine
,
was
of
some
value
,
yet
he
tugged
hard
for
a
better
prize
,
J.
de

,
but
vainly
.
nor
was
it
to
be
atchieved
otherwise
.
Drusenheim
a
place
of
strength
upon
the
Rhine
,
he
had
taken
by
assault
,
and
Iohn
de
Werth
thinking
to
regain
it
by
Anslat
,
came
before
it
unexpectedly
of
a
sodaine
with
his
Army
,
but
the
fortune
of
Warre
not
favouring
him
,
he
was
beaten
back
with
the
losse
of
six
or
seven
hundred
men
,
and
forced
to
look
backward
towards
Wertenberge
,
whither
the
Duke
taking
advantage
of
the
Bavarians
,
rising
from
his
fortified
Entrenchments
,
was
hastily
advancing
.
Both
parties
began
then
to
shew
their
Master-pieces

The
Duke
of

no
demonstrative
argument

propitious
fortune
afterwards
,
but
a
trick
of
a
cheating
Curtizan
,
by
dalliance
leading
her

to
destruction
.
His
Highnesse
had
speedy
notice
of
the
Perdues

and
assoon
sent
out
the
Regiments
under

Iohn

then
in

both
of
Amunition
for

and
provision
of
meat
for

.
Munday
,
August
7/17
,
hee
addressed
one
of
600
horse
towards
the
named
Magazine
.
Notice
of
this
was
brought
by
the
Scouts
,
to
the
Rhinegrave
,
who
with
expedition
said
an
a●nbush
on
the
way
,
by
which
these
Cavalliers
should
passe
.
All
washusht
,
nor
was
there
any
appearance
of
a
rub
,
which
might
offend
the
Gallanta
in
their
course
,
when
the
Avantguard
,
comming
within
reach
of
the
Rhine-graves
Musquets
,
a
volley
of
shot
startled
the
first
adventurers
,
and
put
them
to
a
confused
flight
,
and
so
they
escaped
better
then
the
grosse
body
of
that
small
Army
,
which
the
Rhinegrave
charged
,
and
discharged
upon
immediatly
,
putting
some
to
the
sword
,
and
bringing
sixty
prisoners
to
Duke
Bernhards
Camp
,
amongst
were
two
of
the
Bavarian
Barons
,
Pages
,
which
scaped
not
scot-free
,
and
without
wounds
in
this
Encounter

Forgatz
,
August
8/18
,
arrived
at
the
Bavarian
Camp
,
with
his
Regiments
of
Crabats
,
&
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
was
upon
the
way
to
joyn
with
him
also
,
but
the
news
of
Bleterans
stopd
his
journey
,
and
deprived
the
Bavarian
of
those
long
expected
and
promised
Auxiliaries
.
Notwithstanding
the
fire
which
for
some
days
had
been
coopt
up
,
in
the
dark
wombe
of
a
thick
and
foggy
cloud
,
gan
now
to
break
out
impetuously
with
thunder
and
lightning
.
Duke
Bernhard
by
his
Bridge
of
Boats
at
Rhinaw
,
had
conveyed
over
all
his
Ordnance
beyond
the
Rhine
,
and
appeared
daily
in
the
field
,
as
challenging
the
Bavarian
to
set
battell
,
but
his
often
and
many
affronts
done
to
the
wary
Baron
not
prevayling
,
he
left
the
major
part
of
his
Infantry
in
a
fortified
place
,
and
marched
,
August
19/29
,
with
his
Cavallary
directly
towards
the
Castle
of
Molberge
,
and
the
Towns
of
Ettenheim
,
and
Endenguen
,
places
situated
betwixt
Wittenweir
,
and
Offenburg
,
before
the
last
wherof
John
de
Werth
,
had
his
head
Quarter
,
his
other
Regiments
being
enquartered
along
the
Kentzinguer
Valley
,
because
if
he
should
hap

be

put
to
it
by
the
Duke
,
Bavarians
Cuirassiers
,
whom
they
fought
withall
,
vanquisht
,
and
brought
sixty
of
them
prisoners
to
the
Dukes
Army
.
The
Baron
for
all
this
stirred
not
,
but
keeping
close
in
his
Earthy
Fortifications
,
rather
watched
his
own
advantage
,
then
ministred
occasion
of
any
to
his
Enemy
,
and
something
must
be
done
to
make
him
rise
,
or
remove
hee
would
not
.
Sundry
projects
offered
themselves
to
the
Dukes
consideration
,
but
which
was
most
likely
to
take
effect
,
though
he
might
conjecture
,
he
could
not
determine

At

his
thoughts

surrounded
by
his
Forces

he
conceived

part
of
his
own
Forces
,
and
24
Corners
of
Crabats
,
commanded
by
Isolani
to
relieve
it
.
The
Duke
had
planted
his
battery
upon
an
Hill
against
the
City
before
,
but
now
seeing
the
Bavarian
at
his
back
,
turned
them
from
the
I
own
point-blank
upon
the
Army
,
and
de
Werth
,
perceiving
that
if
he
went
forward
,
he
must
needs
march
against
the
Canons
mouthes
,
partly
to
prevent
that
hazard
,
and
partly
to
draw
the
Almayne
Duke
from
his
advantage
,
changed
his
station
,
and
incamped
in
a
mown-ground
,
and
severed
from
the
Dukes
Army
,
by
a
great
and
deep
River
,
only
25
foot
broad
,
but
having
the
banks
so
high
raised
,
that
it
could
not
be
passed
,
but
by
a
bridge
of
stone
,
which
adjoyning
to
a
Mill
which
the
Baron
had
seized
of
,
and
planted
there
a
battery
of
10
peeces
of
Ordnance
.
What
will
not
the
earnest
desire
of
performance
,
apprehend
as
easily
feasible
?
The
Duke
had
a
longing
desire
to
exchange
some
blows
with
the
Bavarian
,
and
now
though
he
should
give
him
oddes
,
he
conceived
,
he
might
grapple
with
him
advantageously
.
This
conceit
made
his
Highnesse
withdraw
from
the
Hill
,
and
pitch
down
directly
over
against
the
Baron
,
the
River
only
being
betwixt
them
,
though
reason
still
guiding
his
will
,
moved
and
prevayled
with
him
,
to
do
it
cautelously
,
and
without
exposing
his
person
and
forces
to
apparant
jeopardy
.
The
face
is
not
alwayes
the
mirrour
of
the
heart
,
they
which
judge
by
the
outward
appearance
,
are
not
seidome
mistaken
.
The
Dukes
Souldiers
were
not
possessed
with
any
reall
fear
,
but
personated
disheartned
men
,
and
that
so
well
,
that
for
the
time
no
Pantomime
could
excell
them
.
de
facto
,
in
cold
bloud
,
he
had
slaine
some
of
the
Almaine
Dukes
men
,
which
incited
him
again
to
make
slaughter
of
his
new
prisoners
,

PEace
,
the
benefits
wherof
have
not
for
many
late
yeers
been
sensibly
discovered
to
the
Germans
,
was
the
Generall
desire
of
the
people
:
the
Boores
which
lived
by
tillage
,
and
feeding
of
Cattle
,
hoped
that
this
yeer
,
the
swords
would
be
turned
into
Plow-shares
,
and
the
Pikes
into
Shepherds
Crooks
;
the
Merchants
whose
free
traffique
was
stopt
by
these
Military
broyls
,
began
to
feel
poverty
comming
upon
them
,
more
then
the
armed
men
against
their
Enemies
,
and
longed
for
an
open
trade
,
and
severall
persons
according
to
our
humane
condition
,
qui
facile
credimus
,
quod
volumus
,
upon
each
slight
occasion
,
gave
out
that
a
truce
for
time
of
years
,
if
not
a
certain
and
firm
peace
would
now
be
concluded
betwixt
the
Crown
of
Sweden
,
and
its
Allies
,
and
the
King
of
Hungary
,
and
his
adherents
.
Two
or
three
days
respite
from
acts
of
hostility
,
betwixt
the
opposite
Armies
severally
eneamped
at
Torgaw
,
and
Meissen
made
the
Elve
Eccho
to
the
votes
of
the
common
people
,
about
a
cessation
of
Armes
,
and
the
conceit
of
the
Earle
Brandestein
his
commission
to
treat
with
the
Austrian
in
Aprill
,
was
taken
by
the
vulgar
as
an
undeniable
argument
of
a
growing
reconciliation
,
betwixt
those
high
&
mighty
Princes
.
But
the
misery
of
that
Nation
,
was
not
yet
come
to
the
height
,
Brandestein
was
surprised
by
the
Saxon
,
Banniere
,
though
oppressed
with
multitudes
(
the
Saxon
and
Austrian
forces
doubling
his
numbers
)
lost
nothing
of
his
spirit
,
but
went
on
as
daringly
as
ever
.
A
Colossus
holds
the
same
dimensions
,
though
placed
in
a
deep
pit
,
and
a
right
valiant
man
is
ever
like
himself
,
undaunted
though
he
be
surrounded
with
apparant
danger
.
Hall
,
Eylenburge
,
and
the
great
Sconce
before
Wittenberge
were
garrisoned
still
with
Swedes
,
who
were
enjoyned
by
their
Generall
to
defend
them
against
the
Saxon
and
his
Allyes
;
himselfe
intending
to
proceed
further
in
pursuire
of
his
late
victories
,
and
to
begin
,
sent
out
some
troops
of
horse
and
foot
against
Oshitz
,
with
instructions
,
to
take
it
by
a
sodain
Onslat
,
or
if
they
failed
,
to
return
with
all
speed
to
the
Campe
,
it
being
no
convenient
time
for
them
to
abide
in
the
field
,
the
Enemy
then
growing
stronger
daily
by
a
new
accesse
of
severall
Armies
,
To
have
stayed
there
longer
,
had
been
no
point
of
providence
,
the
Austrian
and
Saxon
Army
,
was
upon
their
rising
from
Meysen
,
Ghleen
was
already
in
Thuringen
,
with
his
Army
,
and
the
Leipsichers
growne
confident
upon
these
new
approching
succours
,
Hatzfield
,
and
Goetz
,
were
no
sooner
risen
from
Meyssen
,
but
they
marched
directly
towards
Eylenburg
on
both
sides
the
River
of
Mulda
,
and
their
comming
was
so
formidable
to
the
Swedish
presidiaries
there
,
that
all
of
them
,
one
Captaine
,
Ghleen
who
was
called
out
of
Westphalia
,
and
Hessen
,
purposely
to
assist
Hatzfieldt
,
and
his
Colleagues
against
the
Swedes
,
by
the
way
had
an
eye
at
Ertford
,
the
greatest
City
in
Thuringen
,
taken
by
Banniere
,
the
year
last
past
,
Eylenburg
.
Banniere
whose
provident
eye
was
not
fixt
only
upon
his
own
Campe
at
Torgaw
,
but
looked
after
his
Confederates
in
all
places
,
had
notice
of
Ghleens
designe
,
and
to
relieve
the
City
,
drew
out
of
his
Army
five
Regiments
of
Horse
,
and
a
1000
Dragoons
,
committed
them
and
the
busines
to
the
care
of
the
Generall
Lesle
,
who
brought
them
as
farre
as
Eisleben
,
but
there
being
certified
,
that
Ghleen
had
raised
his
siege
,
and
was
gone
towards
Saxony
,
stayed
his
journey
,
and
marched
after
them
to
observe
their
posture
and
intention
.
The
Baron
being
joyned
with
the
other
Imperiall
Commanders
,
the
desigue
against
the
great
Fort
at
Wittemberge
,
was
first
put
into
execution
.
Wittemberge
Sconce
was
lost
,
yet
Banniere
neither
lost
his
judgment
,
credit
,
or
fortunes
therby
.
He
accounted
it
but
as
a
piece
of
Copper
(
for
besides
the
place
,
which
he
had
made
use
enough
of
,
for
impoverishing
the
Saxons
subjects
about
it
,
he
lost
there
but
eight
Ensignes
and
three
peeces
of
Ordnance
)
and
got
a
piece
of
Gold
for
it
,
a
convoy
of
wine
,
A
well
regulated
fortune
,
crowned
him
with
happy
successe
,
in
another
Enterprize
,
Iune
6/16
Meurer
Lieutenant
Colonell
to
Sleintz
,
lying
as
the
Governour
of
the
Saxon
presidiaries
in
Meyssen
,
the
Metropolis
of
Misnia
,
sent
certain
Companies
of
his
own
Foot-regiments
with
thirty
Waggons
abroad
on
forraging
.
Banniere
who
earst
had
a
designe
upon
the
place
,
was
then
casually
abroad
with
3000
Horse
,
600
Musquetiers
,
and
200
Dragoons
,
and
attended
with
this
retinew
,
lighted
upon
those
Saxon
purveyors
,
Corps
du
guard
which
kept
the
gate
,
the
port
was
opened
,
and
the
Carters
and
their
loads
let
in
.
It
was
not
required
,
that
the
imposture
should
be
long
concealed
,
nor
was
it
,
the
Actors
exprest
themselves
to
the
Guard
,
and
the
Inhabitants
neer
the
gate
in
bloudy
characters
;
they
which
lurked
under
the
coverlets
of
hay
,
discovered
themselves
,
and
with
their
swords
imprinted
their
minds
in
the
flesh
of
the
Warders
,
mayntayning
the
Gate
,
till
Banniere
,
who
attended
close
after
them
,
came
in
with
his
Cavallary
,
and
six
peeces
of
Canon
,
who
by
this
device
(
not
unlike
the
Turf-boat
at
Breda
,
Anno
1590
)
made
himselfe
master
of
the
City
,
putting
all
to
the
sword
,
some
few
only
excepted
,
which
saved
themselves
in
the
great
Church
of
humb
,
and
Castle
with
Mewrer
the
Governour
.
Banniere
left
not
thus
,
but
prosecuting
his
new
atchievement
,
began
to
batter
the
Castle
with
his
Canon
,
and
thundred
upon
it
,
by
the
space
of
two
houres
,
and
then
hearing
,
that
the
Imperiall
succors
were
marching
against
him
,
discreetly
considering
,
that
it
was
rashnes
,
not
valour
to
stake
his
honour
upon
unequall
termes
,
or
hazard
the
spoyls
he
had
gotten
there
,
which
amounted
to
the
moiety
of
what
he
had
gotten
before
at
Lucka
,
marched
back
to
his
Campe
,
more
comforting
his
souldiers
,
with
sight
of
his
presence
,
upon
whose
well
being
,
the
well
being
of
the
Army
consisted
,
then
his
waggons
loaden
with
viands
,
though
the
last
could
not
be
unwelcome
,
being
the
true
restaurative
of
dejected
spirits
in
time
of
need
.
The
Sun
and
the
Swedes
glory
seemed
at
once
to
be
both
in
the
Summer
Solstice
,
the
Planet
was
then
looked
upon
by
the
Northern
Nations
,
with
admiration
,
the
long
days
which
he
brought
and
short
nights
,
made
some
ignorant
people
,
which
knew
no
other
,
apprehend
it
for
a
Deity
,
but
soon
afterwards
declined
Southward
,
and
changed
the
length
of
light
,
and
the
season
;
and
perhaps
the
darknesse
of
the
night
hapning
by
its
annuall
retrait
,
might
teach
them
reason
:
the
Swede
was
by
this
successe
grown
terrible
to
the
Commons
of
the
Empire
,
some
accounted
him
as
an
authorized
executioner
of
divine
justice
,
upon
the
Saxon
,
whose
jugling
dealing
had
brought
this
misery
upon
his
Dukedome
;
others
perceiving
the
Imperialists
growing
in
strength
,
and
seeing
the
Swede
ingaged
,
though
disadvantageously
,
conjectured
that
all
this
was
but
a
cloud
,
which
might
easily
be
dispersed
or
dissolved
by
the
Swedish
Sunne
;
others
concluded
,
(
and
here
rightly
)
that
his
fortunes
were
then
declining
,
and
(
yet
but
conjecturally
)
that
he
being
so
long
acquainted
with
the
extrem
frosts
of
the
frozen
Islands
,
and
surviving
them
,
a
good
winter
souldier
,
good
because
hardy
,
would
recover
all
,
and
return
with
the
Sunne
,
when
the
Planet
had
reached
his
Winter
station
;
and
retire
he
did
,
but
whether
with
a
mind
and
power
of
returning
future
time
may
,
this
History
cannot
discover
.
The
King
of
Hungary
was
certified
in
the
interim
of
the
Swedes
proceedings
,
and
how
the
Dukedome
of
Saxony
,
being
almost
laid
desolate
by
their
invasion
,
his
own
Dominions
,
which
were
by
him
challenged
as
an
inheritance
,
and
suffered
to
passe
with
that
title
,
by
the
Triumvirall
Treaty
at
Prague
,
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
,
and
Dukedome
of
Moravia
,
Italian
Bandito
,
who
armed
with
pistoll
and
sword
,
had
crept
secretly
into
the
Kings
lodgings
where
hee
was
apprehended
,
with
those
instruments
of
death
about
him
,
and
after
severall
tortures
,
many
of
which
he
indured
with
a
kind
of
Stoicall
unsensiblenesse
,
in
the
end
confessing
,
that
an
old
woman
had
given
him
a
draught
,
which
he
no
sooner
took
,
but
his
fancy
was
troubled
with
horrid
conceits
of
murther
,
and
the
delusion
wrought
so
powerfully
,
that
he
found
no
rest
till
he
had
undertaken
that
execrable
course
for
murdering
his
Majesty
,
upon
which
he
was
sent
to
Vienna
,
to
be
proceeded
against
juridically
.
Heaven
abhorres
treason
,
and
will
not
suffer
those
miscreants
to
thrive
;
nor
doth
the
murder
of
a
private
man
ever
escape
the
divine
justice
,
though
mans
justice
perhaps
may
not
punish
it
.
The
Generall
Gallas
,
attending
the
King
at
Prague
,
his
Majesty
being
gone
to
Brandys
on
hunting
,
made
a
Feast
for
the
Commanders
,
which
attended
at
Prague
to
know
the
Kings
pleasure
,
and
receive
instructions
from
him
,
and
amongst
the
rest
invited
Gordon
,
Lesle
,
Anderson
,
and
some
other
of
the
assasinates
,
whose
hands
were
dipped
in
the
bloud
of
Wallenstein
at
Egra
:
Their
hearts
being
warmed
with
wine
and
stomacks
well
filled
with
meat
,
the
grinders
being
wearied
,
Gordon
,
Lesle
,
and
Anderson
,
as
proud
of
that
action
,
ascribing
the
glory
of
it
to
themselves
,
after
they
had
well
drunk
,
Gallas
and
Gordon
first
fell
to
words
,
and
afterwards
to
blows
,
and
in
the
conflict
the
servants
of
the
Generall
comming
in
,
Gordon
was
slain
outright
,
(
as
is
written
)
and
parts
being
taken
,
Lesle
was
mortally
wounded
,
and
Anderson
hurt
in
two
severall
places
,
the
people
ascribing
all
this
to
the
Justice
of
Heaven
,
the
wisdome
wherof
had
sodisposed
of
each
particular
circumstance
,
that
the
end
of
the
assasinates
did
quadrate
with
their
wicked
act
,
against
their
late
Generall
to
whom
they
had
given
an
Oath
of
allegeance
and
fidelity
,
they
which
had
slain
him
at
a
feast
,
perishing
by
the
sword
at
a
feast
in
the
same
Territory
.
It
was
no
season
for
the
King
to
proceed
in
the
way
of
legall
justice
against
those
military
men
,
Gallas
,
Picolomini
,
and
de
Grana
.
by
whose
commotion
,
this
effusion
of
bloud
was
caused
,
he
had
need
of
their
service
,
both
in
counsell
and
action
:
The
Electors
though
often
sent
to
,
nor
did
,
nor
could
attend
him
,
and
Gallas
,
Picolomini
,
and
the
Marquesse
de
Grana
,
were
used
both
for
advise
and
prosequution
of
the
conclusions
in
the
consultation
.
Gallas
was
with
all
speed
,
to
return
to
the
Rhine
,
and
Dukedome
of
Wittenberge
,
to
fetch
up
his
eight
Regiments
,
which
had
wintered
there
,
and
to
adde
those
forces
to
those
under
Hatzfield
and
Goëts
,
and
the
Saxons
in
Misnia
,
Generalissimo
,
Banniere
might
be
blocked
up
in
his
Fortifications
at
Torgaw
.
The
Generalissimo
winged
with
desire
of
atchieving
a
new
conquest
,
mounted
presently
on
Horsebacke
,
plyed
his
spurres
more
then
his
rains
,
and
returned
into
Misnia
with
his
auxiliaries
,
as
speedily
as
could
be
hoped
.
The
Confederate
Imperiall
and
Saxon
Armies
had
prepared
the
way
before
his
comming
,
it
now
remayned
for
him
only
to
polish
the
work
,
which
they
had
already
scabled
.
Pomica
the
Governour
in
Hall
for
the
Elector
,
and
the
Garrison
of
Wittemberge
undertooke
the
siege
of
the
Fort
Morizburg
at
Hall
,
and
that
being
undertaken
,
there
was
no
impediment
there
to
hinder
him
.
Furstemberg
with
3000
Crabats
attending
him
,
lay
higher
upon
the
Elve
to
stay
the
Swede
from
breaking
out
that
way
:
the
Ship-bridge
which
lay
before
Wittemberge
over
the
Elve
,
was
presently
after
the
surrendry
of
the
great
Sconce
,
removed
higher
to
Pretch
,
though
not
without
strong
opposition
:
Banniere
with
his
Ordnance
so
playing
upon
it
,
that
hee
sunk
a
great
ship
in
the
day
time
,
and
the
Imperiall
Army
being
forced
to
repair
that
losse
in
the
night
,

The
Northern
Rat
,
which
like
that
of
Egypt
,
had
shot
himselfe
through
the
jaws
of
the
Crocodile
into
his
bowels
,
and
there
torn
the
entrails
of
Germany
,
was
concluded
to
be
caught
in
a
trap
,
which
could
not
be
avoided
;
the
supposed
captives
and
their
ransomes
were
staked
,
and
played
for
upon
the
Drum
heads
.
The
Almayn
Armies
were
dividing
the
spoyles
,
of
which
they
had
not
got
possession
,
but
with
a
successe
,
not
altogether
unlike
that
of
Sisera
in
his
mothers
expectation
,
dividing
the
prey
of
the
Hoast
of
Barak
,
the
Swede
neither
flying
,
nor
fighting
against
them
,
but
playing
with
them
,
and
in
a
wise
mediocrity
deluding
their
hopes

Keeping
his
Fortifications
which
they
durst
not
attempt
,
till
constrained
for
want
of
forrage
,
for
his
horse
the
chief
strength
of
his
Army
,
when
his
head
as
full
of
policy
,
as
his
heart
was
of
valour
,
found
out
the
means
for
his
safe
retreat
,
Landsberg
,
Klitzing
the
Brandeburghish
Chieftaine
preoccupating
his
way
by
the
Oder
,
with
12
of
the
Electors
Regiments
,
Danben
the
Saxon
with
the
Saxon
Regiments
re-enforced
with
Swartzemburghs
Crabats
,
cutting
off
the
way
into
Thuringen
,
whilst
Hatzfield
and
Goetz
blockt
him
up
on
the
one
side
of
the
Elue
,
and
Gallas
and
Ghleene
on
the
other
,
by
a
stratageme
he
made
his
way
,
when
his
sword
could
not
hew
it
out
,
amuzing
the
Imperiall
armies
,
with
a
delusive
finesse
first
,
and
then
in
a
wel
ordered
,
and
quick
march
,
hasted
towards
Wrangell
,
that
by
their
united
forces
,
he
might
be
better
strengthened
against
those
swarmes
of
Enemies
.
His
processe
was
thus
.
Two
Letters
were
indited
by
him
,
and
directed
to
the
Governour
of
Ertford
,
Divers
probable
reasons
induced
the
Imperiall
Commanders
to
undertake
that
course
,
they
knew
him
well
fortified
,
and
victualled
where
he
lay
,
that
it
was
vaine
to
attempt
to
raise
him
by
force
,
that
no
victory
could
be
expected
there
,
but
by
attending
upon
time
,
that
by
long
continuance
they
should
spend
themselves
,
sicknes
beginning
to
be
rife
in
their
own
Campe
,
and
therfore
such
an
opportunity
offering
it selfe
to
put
a
finall
period
to
this
long
warre
,
by
a
generall
overthrow
given
the
Swede
at
one
blow
,
they
resolved
not
to
slip
it
,
yet
the
last
conclusion
being
grounded
upon
false
premisses
,
they
failed
in
all
,
and
lost
the
bird
which
they
had
in
their
hands
,
to
take
him
again
in
a
lime
bush
where
he
neither
did
,
nor
meant
to
pearch
.
The
Swede
having
thus
fortunately
set
the
wheels
of
his
project
agoing
,
the
more
to
amuse
the
Imperialists
,
and
draw
them
farther
off
from
the
Elue
,
Iune
18/28
,
early
in
the
morning
dispatched
out
4000
horse
,
out
of
severall
quarters
of
his
Army
,
as
upon
designe
,
with
order
to
take
their
way
towards
Eylenburg
,
and
upon
descrying
the
least
motion
of
the
Enemy
to
return
.
The
old
Souldiers
,
who
had
perfectly
learned
to
obey
,
followed
his
directions
in
all
,
not
varying
a
tittle
from
the
words
of
the
Commission
;
and
Banniere
in
the
interim
first
having
furnished
his
Campe
with
2000
tuns
of
Wine
and
Beere
from
the
Cellars
of
the
Citizens
,
each
Souldier
with
two
commisse
or
provant
loaves
,
out
of
the
store
belonging
to
the
inhabitants
,
and
his
Army
with
pioners
drawn
out
of
the
City
,
two
out
of
each
Family
,
with
a
pretence
that
he
should
use
them
for
the
enlarging
of
his
Trenches
,
&
strengthning
his
Fortifications
,
but
with
a
purpose
to
entrench
himselfe
upon
the
way
,
if
he
should
hap
to
be
put
to
it
by
the
Enemy
,
he
made
a
short
Oration
to
his
Souldiers
,
wherin
after
be
had
extolled
them
generally
,
for
their
great
fidelity
,
courage
,
patience
and
true
affection
to
the
Crown
of
Sweden
,
and
himself
their
Generall
,
knowing
that
his
grosse
body
consisted
of
divers
Nations
,
English
,
Scots
,
Swedes
,
and
high
Germans
he
dealt
with
them
severally
,
as
the
Macedon
did
before
that
fatall
battaile
with
Darius
,
with
his
Army
,
screwing
himself
further
into
their
hearts
,
and
kindling
their
desire
with
repetition
of
their
former
gotten
glory
and
prizes
,

the
severall
Nations
and
Languages
which
served
under
his
colours
,
crowned
his
Oration
with
a
generall
acclamation
,
testifying
their
loyalty
and
readinesse
to
doe
whatsoever
hee
should
please
to
command
them
,
and
the
Generall
in
a
short
reply
,
delivered
to
confirme
them
in
their
affection
,
expressing
the
tokens
of
true
thankfulnesse
,
to
their
loving
respectfull
answere
,
again
reattributed
to
their
love
,
all
the
glory
of
his
former
atchievements
.
But
it
was
no
season
to
stand
upon
complement
,
his
Oration
,
and
the
Souldiers
acclamation
,
was
no
sooner
over
,
but
the
same
Evening
about
nine
of
the
clock
,
he
sent
his
infantery
over
the
bridge
at
Torgaw
,
with
90
peeces
of
Artillery
,
and
all
his
baggage
,
and
the
next
Morning
very
early
,
giving
the
signall
with
two
Canons
shot
to
the
foure
Regiments
which
he
had
sent
abroad
to
return
upon
their
comming
in
,
which
was
immediately
after
hee
demolished
the
greater
part
of
the
Mils
belonging
to
the
Citie
,
spoyled
all
which
might
be
usefull
to
the
Enemy
(
except
1000
sacks
of
Corn
,
and
some
other
provisions
,
of
which
he
furnished
them
for
their
money
)
burnt
the
two
bridges
which
lay
over
the
River
,
the
one
made
of
boats
,
and
the
other
of
timber
fastned
to
Pikes
,
nayled
,
and
broke
eight
peeces
of
Canon
which
were
in
the
Fort
,
and
then
followed
with
his
whole
Cavallary
,
after
the
foot-forces
which
were
gone
before
,
spurring
on
to
Hertzberg
,
where
he
passed
the
Elster
,
thence
to
Lucka
in
Lusatia
,
thence
to
Luben
,
where
he
passed
the
River
of
Sprew
,
thence
to
Furstenberg
,
where
he
passed
the
Oder
,
thence
to
Brosen
,
and
in
the
end
to
Landsberg
.
Gallas
,
not
stirring
out
of
his
Campe
at
Pretsch
,
till
12
full
houres
after
the
Swedes
Cavallary
was
gone
from
Tongaw
,
At
Landsberg
a
victory
rather
cast
upon
him
,
then
gotten
,
ennobles
his
retreat
;
I●●s
the
Swedish
Colonell
was
come
with
the
avantguard
,
consisting
of
three
Regiments
,
two
of
Horse
,
and
one
of
Dragoons
,
upon
the
back
of
Marazini
,
But
what
avayled
this
small
victory
?
The
vigilant
Gallas
had
cut
off
the
passage
betwixt
Banniere
and
his
Colleague
,
besides
his
own
eight
Regiments
,
Ghleen
,
Goëtz
,
and
Hatzfield
,
with
their
Imperiall
forces
,
and
the
Saxons
,
Brandenburghers
,
and
the
Lantgrave
of
Darmstadts
forces
were
come
up
to
his
Campe
,
for
the
Swede
to
make
his
way
thorough
them
was
in
all
appearance
impossible
,
the
adverse
host
being
almost
40000
strong
,
Ille

,

.
The
Generalissimo's
augury
fayled
him
,
So
many
dangerous
and
hard
adventures
being
past
,
the
union
of
the
two
Generals
,
and
happy
conjunction
,
seemed
as
a
festivall
,
and
Wrangell
in
token
of
the
joy
which
hee
felt
,
by
meeting
with
his
fellow
Consull
in
that
forrain
Land
,
presented
his
Army
in
battaile
array
,
and
exprest
himselfe
by
the
lowd
throats
of
48
peeces
of
Canon
,
which
in
token
of
a
bien-venu
to
Banniere
,
he
caused
to
be
oft-times
discharged
triumphantly
.
Worldly
prosperitie
might
have
some
plea
for
title
to
our
humane
happinesse
,
if
it
was
certainly
permanent
.
But
there
is
a
vicissitude
of
passions
and
fortunes
,
nor
was
the
Swed●s
jovissance
of
long
continuance
.
Gallas
returning
from
the
Polonian
Frontiers
,
This
losse
was
not
for
all
that
of
such
consequence
,
as
might
make
their
fortunes
desperate
,
Towns
might
be
recovered
,
but
lives
cannot
.
The
Swedes
though
supplyed
with
new
forces
by
the
Baltick
Sea
,
which
they
providently
kept
open
for
their
use
,
were
not
strong
enough
to
maintaine
the
Cities
and
Forts
which
they
were
possessed
of
upon
the
Elve
Southward
,
but
left
them
to
the
care
of
the
presidiaries
placed
th●rin
but
for
conservation
of
their
men
beingthen
24000
strong
effective
,
no
care
was
omitted
,
no
labour
thought
too
much
nor
cost
spared
,
and
first
with
indefatigable
pains
,
they
fortified
themselves
neer
Custrin
,
on
the
one
side
of
the
Oder
,
Gallas
doing
the
like
on
the
other
,
yet
neither
Swede
,
nor
Caesarean
,
for
some
few
days
attempting
any
thing
against
the
other
,
to
the
astonishment
of
the
inhabitants
in
the
Electorate
of
Brandenburg
,
who
seared
the
like
cloud
of
desolation
hanging
over
their
heads
,
which
fell
so
lately
like
a
Cataclys●e
●n
the
Duke
dome
of
Saxony
,
so
many
spoyling
bands
being
at
once
seared
in
their
Territories
.
Austria
all
this
time
enjoyed
the
sweet
blessings
of
peace
,
no
invading
Enemy
appeared
in
the
Arch-dukes
Dominion
,
the
Court
reassumed
its
former
luster
,
by
the
return
of
their
Prince
from
Prague
,
which
had
bin
a
little
obscured
by
his
absence
,
and
to
make
its
glory
full
,
a
Marriage
was
concluded
betwixt
Caecilia
Renata

to
the
present
Arch-duke
,
and

to
the
deceased
Emperour

to
the
number
of
4000
men
,
and
had
not
they
contended
amongst
themselves
for
precedency
,
the
sword
had
not
been
seen
there
unsheathed
;
and
yet
the
controversie
was
rather
a
brawle
then
any
serious
contestation
,
the
windy
ambition
of
some
arrogant
Poles
,
blew
the
coal
which
was
kindled
,
and
that
was
sodainly
again
extinguished
by
the
Arch-dukes
care
,
who
sent
his
Guard
for
conservationof
the
publike
peace
,
and
so
ended
the
quarrell
without
drawing
bloud

The

The

did

Army
towards
Newstadt
,
and
the
other
into
the
Vekkermark
,
watching
the
opportunity
to
imploy

Banniere
hoped
by
time
to
waste
the
Imperiall
Army
,
whose
provisions
were
fetched
from
farre
,
and
at
first
seemed
rather
to
provide
for

offensive
warre

demolished

Fort

that
it
might
not
be

repaired

old
Fortifications

at

,
yet
in
fine
seeing
,
that
Gallas
advanced
towards
him
,
and
got
ground
,
hee
took
the
weapons
of
offence
too
,
and
used
them
not
altogether
vainly
.
Neither
Army
stood
any
longer
idle
,
all
betook
themselves
to
their
Armes

shunned
no

Schlang
the
Swedish
Colonell
,
the
day
following
,
was
attended
with
the
like
good
fortune
,
notice
was
given
him
in
the
Campe
of
Banniere
by
Stetin
,
that
two
Regiments

The

held

Gallas
the
Generalissimo
,
who
was
then
encamped
at
Angermond
,
was
yet
Commander
over
a
vast
and
numerous
hoste
,
many
hands
were
ready
for
action
,
when
he
but
held
up
his
finger
of
direction
,
and
he
intended
to
set
them
all
to
work
in
several
places
at
once
,
that
so
dividing
his
own
,
he
might
separate
the
Swedes
which
now
being
so
neer
each
other
,
and
so
well
fortified
,
were
able
to
hold
him
play
,
though
they
were
far
inferiour
to
him
in
number
;
only
he
wanted
victuals
for
his
Army
,
Banniere
in
his
passage
over
the
Oder
,
having
cut
off
many
Sutlers
which
followed
his

not
able
to

himself
having
no

the

Commissary
Generall

the
Baron
of
Pesh-witz
had
sent
him
by

down

layes
all
his
Irons
in

found
out
the
meanes
to
relieve
his
necessitie
.
His
first
designe
was
the
repaire
of
the
Fort
at
Swhedt
,
which
though
he
attempted
first
by
dispatching
Coloredoe
thither
with
500
common
Souldiers
,
five
peeces
of
Ordnance
,
Pioners
,
Canon-baskets
,
and
other
materials
required
in
such
an
Expedition
,
and
afterwards
with
the
strength
of
his
Army
taking
up
his
head
quarter
there
to
that
purpose
,
yet
could
not
effect
it

Stalhanse
,
who
lay
in
the
New
marke
,
with
32.
regiments
of
horse
,
beating
off
Coloredoe
,
and
Banniere
,
who
lay
entrenched
about
Damb
and
Stetin
,
st●f●ly
opposing
the
Generalissimo
,
and
spending
some
shot
,
not
idly
upon
the
Ship-bridge
,
which
he
would
have
layed
over
the
Oder
there
,
for
the
perfecting
of
his
project
.
His
next
designe
was
against
Ratenaw
,
and
those
places
upon
the
Elve
,
which
yet
held
out
for
the
Crowne
of
Sweden
,
and
there
he
went
on
thrivingly
,
both
carrying
the
places
,
and
furnishing
himselfe
from
thence
,
with
such
provisions
as
the
Swedes
had
laid
up
there
in
abundance
,
as
in
a
Magazin
,
for
their
owne
provision
.
Kliezing
was
appointed
his
Lievetenant
Generall
for
these
expeditions
,
who
with
13.
regiments
,
came
first
before
Ratenaw
,
summoned
it
,
and
after
one
assault
,
which
the
garrison
beat
off
,
Thomas
Thomason
,
who
undertooke
,
that
the
Commander
in
Werben
being
an
officer
of
his
regiment
,
should
surrender
upon
the
first
summons
,
though
herein
he
fayled
the
Governour
there
flatly
denying
the
proposition
when
it
was
moved
,
and
affirming
that
he
ought
him
no
obedience
,
being
now
a
prisoner
to
the
Caesarcans
.
Gentler
words
,
and
sharper
actions
would
have
done
better
.
His
tongue
spake
as
loud
as
his
Canon
,
and
did
no
more
harme
then
a
piece
of
ordnance
charg'd
onely
with
powder
,
the
windy
content
made
a
roaring
noyse
:
the
solid
materiall
for
battery
was
wanting
,
and
the
cracke
might
terrifie
,
but
no
otherwise
endammage
his
enemy
.

But
the

at

instance
these
forces
were
imployed
against
the
Citie
,
remembring
his
late
alliance
with
the
Crowne
of
Sweden
,
and
unwilling
to
impaire
the
beauty
of
that
goodly
City
,
the
Metropolis
of
that
Dukedome
,
came
to
the
Campe
himselfe
in
person
,
and
before
any
expression
of
acts
of
hostility
,
fell
to
parlee
with
the
Swedish
Commander
there
,
and
so
farre
prevailed
,
that
for
a
summe
of
money
,
the
Swede
condescended
,
and
upon
payment
,
performed
it
,
to
redeliver
him
both
that

to
the
satisfaction
of
both
parties

all

gaining

they
might
be

serviceable
in
their
personall
attendance
upon
the
Army
,
then
they
could
by
lying
still
in
Winson

The
accord
was
made
thus
.
Vpon
the
motion
of
the
Duke
,
the
supplications
of
the
inhabitants
of
Lune-burgh
,
and
the
intercession
of
the
neighbour
Princes
and
Cities
:
these
conditions
were
agreed
on
betwixt
the
Swedes
in
the
Cittadell
of
Kalberg
,
which
commands
the
City
of

Bannier
and
Wranghell
met
at
the
first
lovingly
,
but
soone
after
they
began
to
squabble
,
and
the
difference
was
such
,
that
their
Armies
were
againe
divided
,
to
the
advantage
of
Gallas
the
Generalissimo
,
whose
Army
being
much
abated
,
by
the
departure
of
the
Crabats
formerly
,
and
now
of
the
Field-Marshall
Iohn
Goetz
,
who
was
sent
by
order
from
the
King
of
Hungary
towards
the
Rhine
,
might
perhaps
have
been
much
endangered
,
by
a
set
battell
,
if
they
had
continued
in
their
union
.
But
now
he
makes
use
of
their
division
,
and
intending
to
surprize
the
Field-marshall
Wrangle
,
about
the
midst
of
August
,
led
up
his
whole
Army
towards
Anklam
,
At
Anklam
,
the
Generalissimo
found
a
tougher
piece
of
service
then
he
expected
:
the
old
Field-marshall
,
knew
both
when
he
must
,
and
how
he
ought
to
ward
,
and
the
manner
and
time
of
striking
advantageously
,
and
though
there
was
a
great
imparity
of
their
strength
,
the
Swede
vyed

him
in
resolution
and
military
skill

About

He
saw
it

divers
perswading
arguments
induced
him
upon
the
view

site
therof
to
assault
it
.
The
King

Master
lost
it
the
yeere
,

it
stood
with
his
honour
not
to
leave
it
in
the
possession

an
Enemy

shewing
the
fag-end
of
his
men
to
the
Convoy
,
which
encouraged
by
perceiving
the
smalnesse
of
their
number
,
made
up
to
them
,

prepared
to
assault
them
,

up
to
his
Friends
succour
,
and
Rambure
appeared
on
the
other
side
with
his
men
,
then
risen
from
the
Ambush
,
and
both
together
charged
the
Convoy
so
furiously
,
that
they
slue
500
upon
the
place
,
and
sorely
wounded
divers
others
,
the
rest
which
were
best
mounted

saying
their

leaving
24
waggons

a
prize
to
the

for
all
their
Ambuscado

advantage
they
had
in
the
fight
,
came
not
off
shot-free
,
but
left
17
dead

and
had
40
desperatly

The
waggons
were
driven
to
the
Campe
at

there
the
Cardinall

incourage
his
Souldiers
for
the

to
bring
him
a

what
they
were

They
did
their

,

returned
with
news
,
that
they
were

that

The

though
he
knew

had
a

opinion
,
that
the
Cardinall
Infant

not

This

concerned
all

was

of
the

:
some

must
not

be
in
such

unsensible

Their
labour
to
prevent

Granadoes
,
was
utterly
vaine
,
the
next
morning
after
the
Governour
had
provided
for
his
owne
safety
,
and
the
safety
of
his

,
his

To
what
a
desperate
estate
doe
they
seeme
to

already
?
a
potent
enemy
lay
before
them
,
and
flye
they
could
not
,
to

out
by
their
owne
strength
,
they
were
farre
unable
,
all
hope
of
reliefe
was
lost
,
and
yet
they
will
not

:
One
thing
there
was
which
still
encouraged

and

these
conditions
following
.
FIrst
,
that
the

II
That

the
motives

VI
The

thereof
,
the

and
shall

Army
.
VII
The
Burgesses
and
inhabitants
of
the
place
,
shall
have
liberty
to
stay
in
the
Towne
,
giving
an
oath
of
fealty
to
the
Christian
King
,
with
a
proviso
that
they

City
and
Garrison

give
foure
hostages
,
two
of
the
principall
Burgesses
,
and
two
Captains
,
which
without
more
adoe
,
shall
be
returned
without
any
pretense
of
cause
to
detain

,
if
an
Army
Royall

.
All
which
was
concluded
of
in
the
Campe
before
Landrecey
,
Iuly
13/23
,
and
was
signed
,
Le
Cardinall
de
Valette
,
and
de
Hainin
.
This
last
condition
closed
all
up
,
and
gave
an
assurance
to
the
Governour
,
that
the
Spanish
Card
,
had
no
cause
to
complain
against
him
,
or
to
suspect
him
of
disloyalty
who
would
have
kept
the
place
,
had
there
bin
any
probability
of
his
reliefe
,
and
was
a
good
evidence
to
the
French
Cardinall
,
that
the
place
was
his
already
,
there
being
a
sufficient
demonstration
,
that
the
Spaniard
could
not
come
to
relieve
it
,
his
Army
,
as
then
not
having
met
at
the
generall
Randevouz
,
nor
the
Forces
mustered
up
which
should
oppose
him
.
Sunday
came
,
but
succours
came
not
,
French
men
and
Switzers
,
entred
the
Towne
,
accompanied
with
Thow
,
and
Laniere
,
intendants
of
justice
over
the
Army
,
who
were
sent
thither
to
see
that
the
souldiers
should
commit
no
outrages
in
the
Towne
,
and
so
winne
the
hearts
of
the
people
,
and
take
away
the
common
calumny
layd
upon
their
nation
,
that
after
a
victory
,
they
were
over-insolent
.
It
was
a
good
remonstrance
of
discretion
,
The
glory
of
a
Prince
is
not
in
the
number
of
his
townes
,
or
amplitude
and
vastnesse
of
his
dominions
,
but
the
love
of
his
people
.
The
project
tooke
,
and
after
a
Te
Deum
sung
the
next
morning
,
the
inhabitants
came
in
voluntarily
,
gave
an
assurance
by
oath
,
that
they
would
continue
the
Kings
loyall
subjects
so
long
as
he
would
protect
them
:
many
of
those
which
had
packt
up
their
fardels
,
as
meaning
to
be
gone
,
disburthening
themselves
of
their
loads
,
and
joyning
in
the
tender
of
Allegiance
to
his
Majesty
of
France
,
induced
thereunto
by
the
faire
usage
of
the
French
Cardinall
,
who
assigned
them
a
Governour
,
which
that
same
day
entred
the
Town
with
his
Regiment
,
the
Marquesse
de
Vaubecour
.
A
grain
turns
the
Scale
,
and
this
prize
,
though
accounted
of
small
consequence
by
them
which
lost
it
,
who
like
ordinary
Gamesters
boast
of
their
winnings
,
never
speak
of
their
losings
,
quite
altered
the
course
of
the
Infanta's
designes
;
Hee
had
begun
a
work
of
great
importance
,
and
had
hee
finished
it
,
had
done
a
thing
which
might
have
more
avayled
him
then
common
men
can
imagine
,
a
new
Haven
was
intended
for
Graveling
,
fortified
,
and
capable
of
Vessels
of
great
burthen
,
Many
other
happy
Archievments
attended
as
handmaids
upon
that
more
illustrious
Fortune
:
Iuly
the
third
new
stile
,
the
Regiments
of
Navarre
and
Picardie
,
being
gone
into
Boulonnois
to
refresh
themselves
,
the
Garrisons
of
the
Frontiers
of
Artois
,
thinking
to
make
use
of
the
time
,
had
a
designe
upon
Desaren
,
a
Town
neer
Monthulin
,
and
marched
thitherwards
with
300
horse
and
400
foot
,
hoping
to
surprize
the
Companies
of
foot
,
which
were
garrisond
in
the
town
,
and
to
plunder
the
neighbour
Villages
.
la
Mothe
Belle
Isle
,
with
two
Companies
of
Carabins
,
one
Company
of
light
horse
,
and
certain
Musquetiers
against
them
.
The
Captain
had
sure
and
particular
informations
of
their
posture
,
knew
the
place
where
they
lay
in
Ambuscado
to
entrap
the
Garrison
,
and
thither
marched
directly
,
fell
upon
them
withall
his
might
,
and
after
a
sharpe
combat
of
an
houre
long
,
rowted
and
defeated
them
,
slue
neer
300
upon
the
place
,
tooke
fifty
prisoners
whom
he
brought
into
Bouiogne
,
and
chased
the
rest
into
Falkembergh
,
and
the
Woods
adjoyning
,
getting
this
conquest
only
with
the
losse
of
forty
five
men
.
Piccolomini
,
was
then
upon
his
march
,
Luxenburgh
,
Iuly
16/76
,
was
informed
of
his
arrivall
neer
the
River
,
both
by
his
scouts
and
some
prisoners
,
which
had
bin
taken
by
the
Garrison
of
the
Castle
at
Sancie
,
as
they
were
stragling
from
the
Army
,
amongst
which
was
the
Italian
Counts
Secretary
,
who
was
surprized
with
his
baggage
,
his
Masters
papers
,
and
most
secret
instructions
:
The
French
Field-marshal
thus
made
perfectly
acquainted
with
his
way
,
sent
out
Bellefons
an
expert
Commander
and
valiant
Gentleman
,
to
assault
the
Castle
of
Chauvancie
with
200
foot
,
and
150
horse
,
whilest
himselfe
with
the
rest
of
his
Army
tooke
order
to
secure
the
Kings
Towns
and
Castles
about
the
River
.
The
Earle
was
told
of
Bellefons
his
designe
,
and
brought
up
the
Caesarean
and
Spanish
Cavallarie
under
his
command
,
as
far
as
Mommedy
,
and
de
Marville
to
raise
the
siege
,
and
surprize
him
:
but
his
houre
of
victory
was
not
yet
come
,
Chastillon
with
all
his
Army
appeared
at
that
Randevouz
,
and
in
the
sight
of
the
Imperiall
Generall
,
battered
the
Castle
with
seven
peeces
of
Ordnance
in
three
severall
places
,
The
Caesarcan
Generall
,
had
no
commission
to
sight
there
,
he
was
expected
in
the
Netherlands
,
and
thither
he
advanced
with
such
speed
and
privacy
,
that
hee
had
brought
his
Auxiliaries
to
Mons
in
Haynalt
,
two
days
before
the
French
Commanders
,
who
were
still
about
the
River
of
Sambre
understood
it
.
He
carried
it
wisely
,
they
expected
and
lay
in
wait
for
him
and
Chastillon
,
with
two
whole
Regiments
of
French
,
three
Companies
of
Crabats
,
which
for
pay
served
under
his
Colours
,
though
against
the
Austrian
,
and
three
squadrons
of
horse
hearing
of
his
retreat
from
Mommedy
,
pursued
after
him
,
to
have
assaulted
the
Reare
,
but
his
speed
prevented
all
their
designes
,
the
Cardinall
de
la
Valette
,
never
set
eye
on
him
,
and
Chastillon
only
overtooke
25
Cavalliers
,
which
loytered
behind
the
Army
,
Landrecey
being
taken
in
,
the
Cardinall
de
Valette
first
took
order
to
repair
the
breaches
,
to
renew
the
old
Fortifications
,
and
to
confirme
the
inhabitants
of
that
City
,
and
Chasteau
Cambresi
in
their
Allegiance
to
the
Crown
of
France
by
gentle
usage
,
demeaning
himselfe
so
fairly
,
and
managing
the
businesse
so
discreetly
,
that
most
of
them
who
had
fled
thence
into
Cambray
,
Quesnoy
,
Valenciennes
,
and
Mons
for
refuge
,
sent
their
Trumpeters
with
petitions
to
have
liberty
,
to
return
to
their
habitations
.
Then
Iuly
20/36
,
hee
sent
Rambures
the
Field-marshall
,
with
2500
horse
to
visit
the
Enemies
Country
about
Bavez
,
Saint
Guillin
,
and
Monts
.
The
party
,
which
went
abroad
,
was
dignified
with
the
society
of
the
Gallantry
of
the
French
Army
;
the
Marquesse
of
Preslin
Camp-master
for
the
light
horse
.
Gassion
the
fortunate
and
daring
Colonell
,
the
Count
of
Nause
,
Gens

,
Arnault
,
campe-master
for
the
Carabins
,

Agnan
,
Captaine
of
the
light

,
the
Marquesse
of

,
and
the
Vicount
Monthaz
,
and
returned
not
to
the
Campe
without
the
spoyles
of
the
enemy
,
the
trophies
of
their
honour
.
Notice
was
given
them
,
that
300
horse
were
come
out
of
Montz
,
and
to
repulse
them
,
if
not
vanquish
them
,
they
divided
their
Army
into
three
parts
,
passed
over
at
three
armes
of
the
River
,
to
encounter
them
,
charged
them
so
impetuously
,
that
upon
the
first
meeting
,
the
Spanish
souldiers
were
forced
to
flye
,
being
pursued
to
the
Barriers
of
the
towne
,
where
the
Vicount
Mont-bas
was
hurt
in
the
face
,
arme
,
and
belly
,
but
without
danger
,
and
this
adventure
happened
out
so
successefully
to
the
French
,
that
though
they
were
intermingled
with
their

This

began
with

was
continued

The

with
his

the
Cardinall
,
for
managing

,
was
then
in

as

of

,

to
possesse
himselfe

being

did

who
had
the
office

sonne
to

who
accorded
with
them
upon
these
termes
,
That
the
men
of
warre
should
depart
immediatly
with
their
Armes
,
baggage
,
and
Ensignes
,
and
be
conducted
with

Convoy
to

,
and
that
the
inhabitants
should
be
permitted
to
continue
there
,
giving
an
oath
of
Allegeance
to
the
King
,
or
to
depart
,
not
transporting
,
or
carrying
any
thing
out
of
the
City
.
All
was
performed
the
next
day
,
August
13/23
,
betimes
in
the
morning
,
when
the
Duke
entred
the
Town
to
see
it
,
cleered
of
the
Spanish
Garrison
,
and
layed
in
for
presidiaries
as
many
of
his
Regiment
.
But
what
avayles
it
to
have
a
Towne
in
an
enemies
Territory
?
unlesse
the
wayes
be
open
to
succour
it
,
famine
or
the
sword
,
or
both
must
probably
fall
upon
it
.
To
prevent
all
dangers
which
threatned
it
,
the
same
day
it
was
surrendred
,
the
Duke
sent
the
Vicount
of
Thurenne
,
with
the
Avant-guard
of
his
Army
to
enrich
Solre
,
a
great
Borough
town
,
two
leagues
distant
from
that
of
Beaumont
,
fortified
by
a
strong
Castle
,
wherein
besides
the
Garrison
betwixt
five
and
six
hundred
peasants
,
had
taken
their
residence
,
and
by
discipline
being
long
trained
up
in
the
martiall
postures
,
were
become
able
souldiers
,
and
knowing
the
Howe
,
used
to
goe
out
in
parties
,
and
often
scuffled
with
the
French
for
agers
.
The
Romane
souldiers
under
the
command
of
Caius
Marius
in
the
Cimbrian
warre
were
affrighted
at
the
first
,
ex
consuetudine
,
quàm
feritate
,
out
of
the
custome
of
the
Nation
,
then
the
courage
of
the
untrained
Swains
which
were
engaged
in
the
warre
,
kept
his
trenches
,
accustomed
his
legions
to
heare
them
daily
,
and
the
frequent
noyse
still
bearing
upon
the
eares
of
his
Army
became
not
formidable
unto
the
Souldiers
.
These
peasants
when
they
first
came
to
Solre
,
startled
at
the
beating
of
a
Drum
,
the
crack
of
a
Carabin
was
far
more
dreadfull
to
them
then
a
thunder-clap
,
and
every
man
in
Arms
,
friend
or
foe
,
appeared
to
them
like
an
executioner
,
with
the
fatall
Axe
,
armed
and
authorised
for
their
deaths
.
But
now
they
began
to
be
acquainted
with
the
practises
of
martiall
men
,
their
custome
had
dispossessed
them
of
feare
,
and
were
growne
so
bold
and
hardy
,
that
upon
the
first
report
:
of
the
Viscounts
march
,
they
undertooke
to
defeat
him
,
and
forsaking
the
Towne
which
they
might
have
held
for
three
or
foure
dayes
came
into
the
field
under
the
shelter
of
the
thick
hedges
upon
the
way
skirmished
with
the
fore-runners
of
the
Army
,
and
slue
some
of
them
which
were
within
the
reach
of
their
Musketshot
.
The
Viscount
perceiving
the
course
resolved
to
assault
them
with
the
small
number
of
men
which
he
had
in
the
Avantguard
without
attending
the
forces
which
were
to
be
brought
up
after
him
by
the
Duke
of
Candale
,
and
did
it
so
roundly
that
in
a
short
space
he
dislodged
them
,
made
them
forsake
the
thickets
,
and
flie
into
the
Town
and
Castle
:
whither
they
were
pursued
by
the
French
who
entred
pell mel
with
the
runawayes
,
and
slue
about
30
of
them
,
the
rest
taking
the
Castle
for
a
place
of
safety
,
whence
they
began
to
shoot
against
the
Assaylants
.
A
Counsell
was
called
there
to
advise
for
the
next
designe
,
La
Catelle
besieged
.
and
the
Fortresse
of
la
Capella
,
a
place
upon
the
Frontiers
of
Picardie
and
Artoys
,
foure
leagues
from
Guize
,
surrendred
to
the
Spaniard
,
Iuly
6/16
,
the
yeere
last
past
.
The
Cardinall
de
la
Valet
,
and
the
grand
Master
of
the
Artillery
,
upon
the
conclusion
arose
from
Maubeuge
,
with
one
part
of
the
French
troops
,
and
arrived
September
1
new
stile
,
before
the
towne
which
they
surrounded
the
same
day
,
and
the
next
day
the
Citadell
,
their
souldiers
being
then
raysed
of
a
halfe
moon
,
which
they
found
abandoned
by
the
besieged
.
Then
they
began
to
entrench
themselves
,
the
Count
of
Quinse
Governour
of
Guize
,
and
other
Commanders
in
the
neighbour
towns
,
having
sent
thither
above
2000
peasants
with
mattocks
and
spades
to
worke
in
the
circumvallation
.
The
pioners
spared
no
pains
to
bring
their
work
to
perfection
,
and
followed
it
with
such
diligence
that
by
the
ninth
at
night
the
Army
was
entrenched
,
when
also
they
laboured
in
their
traverses
so
earnestly
,
that
by
the
fifteenth
of
the
same
moneth
,
the
assaylants
became
masters
of
the
Counterscarpe
.
The
siege
was
laid
in
two
Camps
,
the
one
commanded
by
the
Cardinall
,
and
the
other
by
the
Marquesse
,
in
which
were
raised
two
batteries
,
the
one
of
six
Canons
which
battered
the
curtain
above
that
place
which
they
determined
to
undermine
,
the
other
of
three
Canons
from
the
counterscarpe
which
played
upon
the
flank
of
the
Bastion
,
which
the
Cardinall
was
to
assault
,
who
had
in
his
own
Campe
foure
other
batteries
raised
,
the
one
of
four
peeces
,
and
the
other
three
,
each
of
three
all
great
Canon
,
the
least
whereof
carried
a
bullet
of
36
pound
weight
.
Don
Marcus
de
Limâ
the
Governour
capitulates
.
The
batteries
made
some
breaches
upon
the
wals
,
but
the
Bastions
stood
firme
,
and
to
abbreviate
the
work
,
the
Generals
resolved
to
attempt
it
by
myning
.
The
pioners
were
again
imployed
,
and
then
the
Commanders
seeing
how
resolved
they
were
to
take
it
in
about
midnight
the
21
of
the
same
moneth
desired
to
capitulate
,
&
sent
one
of
their
Captains
as
an
hostage
into
the
Army
.
There
was
not
much
difference
about
the
termes
,
neither
did
the
besieged
demand
any
thing
of
the
Generals
which
might
have
been
to
the
impeachment
of
their
honour
,
nor
did
they
again
prescribe
to
the
Commander
any
thing
that
was
unreasonable
.
It
was
concluded
on
in
all
points
but
one
,
Don
Marcus
de
Lima
,
the
Governour
there
for
the
King
of
Spain
,
and
now
upon
their
march
they
must
be
content
to
yield
it
,
being
reputed
sufficient
that
they
carried
away
their
Armes
and
baggage
,
marched
out
with
Drum
beating
,
and
lighted
matches
with
their
wives
and
children
,
their
sick
and
wounded
men
were
furnished
with
wagons
to
transport
them
,
and
had
a
safe
conduct
to
Avennes
.
The
Garrison
thus
departed
,
the
Generals
took
order
the
next
day
for
repairing
of
the
breaches
,
which
their
Canons
had
made
,
filling
up
the
trenches
,
and
stopping
up
the
mynes
wherin
they
had
imployed
the
labourers
,
one
under
the
Bastion
,
which
should
have
bin
assaulted
by
the
Cardinall
,
the
other
under
the
curtaine
,
which
was
reserved
for
the
grand
Master
of
the
Artillery
,
and
then
took
order
for
the
entertainment
of
Chavigny
Secretary
of
State
,
and
Chancellor
to
the
Duke
of
Orleans
,
who
being
sent
to
the
Campe
from
the
King
was
invited
by
the
Marquesse
to
dinner
,
feasted
,
and
in
the
midst
of
their
jollity
,
Rissell
.
Sept.
11/21
,
the
Cardinall
Infant
having
the
little
town
of
Amiens
,
marched
thence
to
Maubeuge
,
la
Capella
,
with
a
full
resolution
to
fight
.
The
Cardinall
Jnfant
found
himselfe
too
weak
,
and
had
not
time
to
make
an
orderly
retreat
,
a
speedy
one
,
though
with
some
confusion
he
deemed
better
then
to
stay
and
wait
upon
a
certain
destruction
,
Victory
still
hovered
over
the
French
Campe
,
and
besides
the
fortunes
which
attended
the
Generals
in
the
mayn
bodies
of
their
Armies
,
their
parties
which
went
abroad
to
scowre
the
Country
seldome
returned
without
good
purchase
.
Another
party
,
the
day
following
,
hearing
that
the
Cardinall
Infant
had
sent
another
company
to
the
Castle
of
Aymaries
,
went
to
field
with
three
companies
of
souldiers
amounting
to
about
120
men
at
Armes
,
French
Cavaliers
unto
them
as
a
prey
,
and
toward
them
they
posted
speedily
,
the
French
knew
how
to
tread
their
measure
,
and
paced
according
to
the
Musique
that
played
:
they
had
their
cue
,
and
observing
a
proportionable
distance
from
the
enemy
,
they
fled
before
him
,
adding
more
wings
to
their
speed
,
when
they
came
neer
the
Ambuscado
,
whither
&
where
the
Spaniards
pursuing
them
,
were
so
violently
assaulted
by
the
French
,
that
rose
from
their
lurking
places
,
that
100
of
them
were
slaine
upon
the
place
,
among
which
was
found
one
Lievtenant
of
the
Infantery
,
and
all
the
rest
wounded
,
except
certain
few
men
,
which
were
taken
prisoners
.
It
was
a
fortunate
exploit
,
and
both
advantageous
,
and
honorable
for
the
undertakers
,
who
besides
their
captives
,
returned
to
their
garrisons
of
Ham
,
and
Saint
Quintin
,
with
a
booty
of
above
50
horse
gotten
in
this
enterprize
.
Ferte-Imbault
the
Field-marshall
,
the
same
day
that
La
Capelle
was
surrounded
by
the
French
Army
,
was
commanded
by
the
Great
Master
of
the
Artillery
with
500
horsmen
in
10
Companies
,
de
la
Marine
,
&
3
Canons
to
lay
siege
against
two
Castles
distant
from
La
Capelle
about
six
English
miles
.
The
one
of
them
called
Glaon
,
appertained
to
the
Countesse
of
Isanguin
,
and
without
blowes
upon
the
bare
sight
of
the
French
Army
,
yielded
;
but
the
other
named
Trelon
,
situated
in
a
Borough
of
400
Families
,
being
guarded
by
300
men
,
and
14
peeces
of
Ordnance
well
mounted
,
though
not
well
levelled
for
offence
,
would
not
surrender
,
though
it
was
summoned
to
the
ruine
of
the
village
,
their
care
for
keeping
the
Castle
,
bringing
the
Dorp
to
a
quicke
destruction
,
without
any
advantage
to
the
more
hardy
,
then
discreet
defendants
.
The
towne
was
not
fortified
at
all
,
but
lay
open
to
the
mercy
of
the
Master
of
the
field
,
who
enraged
with
the
affront
done
him
by
the
Governour
,
in
denying
to
yeeld
,
first
burnt
the
Village
to
the
ground
,
and
then
planted
his
three
great
Gunnes
point
blanke
against
the
Castle
.
His
shot
was
returned
from
the
Citadell
,
with
the
advantage
of
10.
for
one
.
He
spent
but
thirty
volees
against
the
Fort
,
the
garrison
let
flye
with
the
14
pieces
,
above
200
severall
times
upon
the
Army
,
but
neither
was
the
camp
much
endammaged
thereby
,
nor
the
Castle
.
The
Field-marshall
intended
not
to
make
much
more
use
of
his
Canon
,
seeing
he
had
spent
so
many
bullets
,
to
so
small
purpose
,
and
applyed
himselfe
to
his
Bombards
,
and
great
Granadoes
,
which
wrought
so
effectually
,
their
shivers
flying
,
and
bounding
in
the
lodging
chambers
,
that
the
Mar
quesse
de
Trelon
,
who
commanded
in
person
within
the
Castle
,
which
properly
appertained
unto
him
,
sent
out
his
Almner
with
a
semblance
of
desiring
to
treate
,
but
in
truth
,
onely
to
descry
the
French
forces
,
and
he
at
his
comming
,
intreated
tearmes
of
composition
,
Ferle

,
upon

but
his
eye
being
noted
by
the
Field-marshall
,
to
have
been
more
busie
in
viewing
the
French
postures
,
and
preparations
,
then
his
tongue
in
propounding
the
conditions
required
by
the
besieged
,
or
his
eares
in
attending
to
the
French
Commanders
offers
,
and
in
the
end
,
desirous
to
returne
,
without
concluding
any
thing
,
concluded
the
project
was
discovered
,
though
he
personated
a
Commissioner
,
he
was
apprehended
as
a
spye
,
and
Ferte
Imbault
sent
a
trumpeter
to
the
besieged
,
with
this
expresse
,
that
if
they
made
one
shot
more
against
the
Camp
,
he
would
cause
him
to
be
trussed
up
before
their
eyes
.
The
Almner
was
a
man
beloved
by
the
Marquesse
,
and
he
to
preserve
his
faithfull
and
endeared
servant
,
from
such
an
ignominious
death
,
like
himselfe
,
an
honourable
minded
man
,
wisely
preferring
the
life
of
a
discreet
and
faithfull
Counsellour
(
so
he
reputed
him
)
who
had
formerly
done
him
good
service
,
both
by
directions
and
actions
,
before
that
pile
of
earth
and
stone
,
the
Castle
,
which
in
all
probability
he
could
not
hold
above
eight
or
tenne
dayes
longer
,
capitulated
,
and
upon
conditions
of
life
saved
,
and
departing
with
his
baggage
,
surrendred
the
Fort
to
the
Field-marshall
,
who
found
in
it
,
besides
the
14
pieces
,
the
least
whereof
carried
a
bullet
of
eight
pounds
,
40
Harquebusses

because
it
was
a
place
of
some
importance
,
distant

two

from

sited
in

middle
of
a

For

,
the

night
,
neither
being
re-encountred
upon

nor
discovered
by

There
was
no
need
of
the
boats
,
the
River
was
then
wadeable
,
and
through
the
water
he
dispatched
foure
Masons
to
digge
through
the
bricke
wall
,
if
it
was
f●asible
.
It
was
no
work
of

undertook
it

they
had
of
it
,
by

generall

intelligence
,

no

remonstrance

Fortune
helps

conducted

,
which
they
fell
upon

,
their

doing
them
no

in

adventure
.
S.
Previll
who
had
an
open
eare
,
and
listened
after
the
reports
of
his
Musquets
,
was
still
with
the
rest
of
his
Army
,
which
he
ordeted
to
surround
the
Castle
,
that
neither
the
souldiers
,
nor
the
peasants
which
lodged
there
,
being
more
in
number
then
the
souldiers
,
might
escape
,
and
upon
the
first
cracke
of
the
Muskets
,
flew
into
the
Castle
,
came
up
to
his
men
,
enlivened
them
to
the
worke
,
both
by
word
and
exemplary
actions
,
put
to
the
sword
as
many
as
made
resistance
,
which
were
about
30
in
number
,
This
was
his
project
,
de
la
Tour
,
a
Captaine
of
the
regiment
de
Estrees
,
to
keep
it
,
a
guard
sufficient
for
the
Fort
,
had
not
the
spaniards
an
eye
over
it
,
to
regaine
it
,
orif
they
had
,
it
was
but
sufficiently
fortified
.
He
concluded
,
that
as
sure
as
the
Sunne
would
returne
againe
from
the
West
,
where
it
set
at
night
,
to
the
East
in
the
morning
,
so
certainly
,
the
enemy
would
re-visit
it
:
and
to
secure
the
garrison
from
any
injury
by
the
adversary
,
resolved
to
appeare
in
the
field
the
next
day
with
such
a
proportionable
number
of
men
,
as
might
be
able
to
deale
with
the
neighbour
garrisons
,
(
there
was
no
Army
thereabouts
)
if
they
should
offer
to
enforce
it
.
His
conjecture
fa●led
not
,
the
Spaniards
from
Graveling
,
and
the
neighbour
garrisons
,
hearing
of
this
losse
,
assembled
the
next
day
,
and
marched
towards
the
Castle
,
thinking
to
recover
it
,
but
S.
Previll
,
whose
working
braine
would
not
permit
him
to
sleep
,
or
slip
his
advantage
,
by
his
care
prevented
their
designe

the
victory
atchieved

he
went
to

Count

of
the
enemy
,
who
had
hid
his
maine

behind
the
hedges
,
strongly
entrenched
himselfe
,

expected
onely
,
that
the

,
according

their
custome

fiery
in
the
first
conflict
,
should
have
made
an
assault
upon

,
this
forlorn
hope
,
so
they
esteemed
it
,
and
have
bin
caught
in
the
trap
which
was
layd
for
them
.
But
this
slight
was
of
no
more
value
,
then
their
might
:
the
French
Leaders
,
old
and
expert
souldiers
,
were
enformed
by

scouts

to
delude

valour

they
had
already

sufficient

returned
to
their
charges
,

to

and
the
other
to

without

The

being
again
possessed
of

took
care
how
to
keep
it

sent
out
his
purveyors
to

The
night
works
were
as
prejudiciall
to
the
besieged
as
those
of
the
day
;
Don
Andrea
Cantelmo
had
sent
120
men
to
attempt
a
way
into
the
town
for
the
relief
of
the
Garrison
,
promising
to
follow
with
an
army
,
and
raise
the
siege
if
it
were
possible
,
the
men
conducted
by
Captains
,
being
come
within
two
Musquers
reach
of
the
French
quarters
,
affrighted
with
the
lowd
cracks
of
the
Ordnance
and
strange
fire-works
,
disbanded
and
fled
in
such
a
confusion
,
that
the
Leaders
which
conducted
them
,
could
not
upon
any
termes
reassemble
them
;
in
a
word
,
that
night
the
Generall
so
strongly
fortified
himselfe
in
his
trenches
,
that
Cantelmo
thought
it
vaine
to
attempt
to
raise
him
,
and
himself
began
to
be
so
confident
of
his
successe
,
that
he
concluded
himselfe
able
to
winne
the
towne
,
within
a
fortnight
in
despight
of
all
resistance
,
the
Garrison
within
,
or
their
Confederates
without
could
make
,
and
therfore
that
his
own
forces
alone
without
any
coadjutors
,
might
have
the
glory
of
the
prize
,
sent
back
some
troops
which
the
Cardinall
de
Valette
had
sent
him
to
be
assistant
to
him
,
in
that
enterprize
which
was
desired
,
might
be
done
with
expedition
.
It
is
no
small
thing
that
can
dishearten
a
resolved
man
,
Stassin
the
Commander
within
,
for
all
this
lost
not
his
courage
,
nor
abated
any
title
of
his
first
resolve
afterwards
,
though
hee
plainly
saw
that
the
French
got
ground
daily
,
so
much
that
by
the
last
of
September
old

the
Marshall
had
raised
two

batteries
upon
the
very
brinke
of
the
moat
,

the
other
great
one
of
14
peeces
of
Ordnance
.
An
halfe
moone
there
was
betwixt
the
two
Bastions
,
The
losse
of
this
Fortification
much
abated
the
edge
of
the
Garrison
in
the
towne
,
who
begged
a
short
time
of
truce
to
bury
their
dead
,
and
taking
the
grant
for
a
favour
,
shewed
some
remissenesse
of
their
courage
already

a

under
the

of

effectually

that
it
made
a
breach
in
the
wall
where
40
men
might
march
a
breast
,
discouraged
them
more
,
though
they
did
somthing
still
in
their
defence
,
two
great
trenches
which
they
had
made
within
giving
them
a
little
spirit
,
yet
in
the
end
seeing
how
unable
they
were
to
make
good
the
breach
against
the
assaylants
,
they
capitulated
and
accorded
upon
these
conditions

This
was
the
Capitulation
,
which
the
Garrison
in
the
end
faithfully
observed
,
Don
Andrea
Cantelmo
seeks
to
hinder
the
Accord
.
though
it
was
much
opposed
by
Cantelmo
,
who
knowing
of
what
consequence
the
place
was
,
though
the
accord
was
concluded
betwixt
the
Assaylants
and
defendants
,
endevoured
all
he
could
to
break
it
,
and
Munday

with

releeve
the
Citie

soever
.
This
bond
of
Auxiliaries
presented
themselves
before
the
City
next
morning
by
the
dawning
of
the
day
;
They
were
seen
both
by
the
Campe
and
Garrison
at
once
,
but
with
different
eyes
and
aspects
,
the
Garrison
hopefully
thinking
that
Cantelmo
had
followed
him
,
with
the
long
expected
succours
,
and
began
to
retire
into
the
town
hoping
of
relief
,
the
other
with
distracted
and
divided
looks
betwixt
anger
and
scorne
,
angry
to
think
themselves
deluded
of
their
covenants
,
and
scorning
the
small
number
of
forces
which
appeared
against
them

It
is
a
certaine
evidence
of
true
magnanimity
,
neither
to
complaine
of
fate
,
nor
grieve
for
misfortune
,
but
to
comply
with
the
first
,
and
labour
to
amend
the
other
by
endeavour
.
The
Cardinall
Infant
did
both
,
he
saw
the
French
Lillies
planted
,
and
sprouting
in
those
gardens
of
the
Netherlands
,
which
were
committed
to
his
keeping
,
and
though
he
endevoured
to
weed
them
out
,
but
could
not
,
now
he
meant
to
use
all
his
art
to
eradicate
them
.
His
late
defeat
at
Maubeuge
,
made
him
not
heartlesse

de
Turenne
,
and
the
Cardinall
his
brothers
at
Long-Faurill
,
where
the
Duke
himselfe
was
also
,
by
reason
of
the
indisposition
of
his
body
,
a
fit
of
sicknesse
,
which
surprized
him
there
about
the
end
of
September
,
when
he
went
thither
to
advise
with
the
Cardinall
about
the
joyning
of
their
two
Armies
.
It
was
concluded
that
their
forces
should
be
no
longer
divided
,
the
Cardinall
of
Spaine
beginning
to
appeare
so
strong
,
that
it
was
conjectred
,
neither
of
their
forces
singly
could
stand
before
him
,
though
they
needed
not
to
feare
him
,
being
reunited
.
The
Infante
had
a
suspition
at
first
of
what
they
intended
,
but
was
afterward
assured
thereof
by
some
prisoners
taken
in
an
Ambuscadoe
,
addressed
for

was

with

consisting
of

to

the

at

.
The

about

,
the
combat
began

which
was
well
fought
,
and
lasted
doubtfull
at

by

space
of

the
Spaniards
having
set
up

the
French

resolved

But
at

the

found

resistance

the
other
combat
was
ended

.
The

there
gave

and
retreated
to
these

confederates

to
be
renewed
the
next

the

hindering
him
a
while
,
and
the
enemy
already
weakened
by
the
losse
of
400
men
,
fearing
the
fall
of
the
ingruent
storme
,
retreating
to
avoyd
it
.
The
occasion
was
thus
.
Gassion
had
performed
his
charge
carefully
by
the
breake
of
the
day
,
he
had
surrounded
the
adversaries
Campe
,
found
a
place
where
it
might
be
fitly
assaulted
,
acquainted
the
Generall
with
it
,
and
he
to
lose
no
time
,
instantly
with
all
his
forces
ranged
in
battalia
,
save
onely
so
many
as
he
thought
sufficient
to
guard
the
places
which
were
already
gained
,
marched
towards
it
:
which
the
Spanish
Commanders
observing
,
and
fearing
to
be
assailed
both
before
and
behinde
at
once
,
rose
,
de
Valette
.
and
retreated
thence
towards
Barleimont
,
and
Aimeries
.
They
retreated
,
but
not
without
some
blowes
:
the
Marquesse
of
Thurenne
was
then
upon
his
march
,
and
flanking
them
with
his
ordnance
,
whilest
the
Cardinall
pursued
them
at
the
heeles
,
slew
about
400
of
them
upon
the
place
,
and
made
others
runne
headlong
into
the
River
,
where
they
were
drowned
,
to
the
apparent
losse
(
as
the
French
report
it
,
of
betwixt
eight
and
nine
hundred
men
,
though
the
Spanish
letters
from
Bavay
doe
much
abate
of
that
number
)
the
French
not
scaping
scot-free
,
their
losse
amounting
to
more
then
80
men
,
amongst
which
were
some
persons
of
quality
.
Yet
this
victory
did
neither
puffe
up
the
French
,
and
make
him
secure
,
nor
deject
the
Spanish
Cardinall
,
who
is
yet
providing
(
if
he
can
)
to
recover
Landrecey
,
and
hath
already
sent
much
amunition
to
Bavay
for
that
purpose
,
whilest
the
French
,
who
have
forsaken
Maubeuge
,
(
the
towne
being
casually
burnt
at
their
departure
,
by
a
fire
which
hapning
in
a
Court
of
guard
,
Chasteau
Cambrisis
,
are
as
carefull
to
maintaine
it
,
and
what
else
they
have
gotten
this
summer
in
his
territories
.
The
late
Abbot
of
S.
Mars
,
by
the
translation
of
the
late
Bishop
there
to
Meaux
,
was
made
about
a

before

Bishop
of
Auxerre
,
and
thus
advanced
,
first
revictualled
the
Castle

,
with
a
sufficient
store
of
provision
,
and
Octob.
7/17.
with
the
assistance
of
the
Count
of
Quinze
,
sent
a
convoy
of
180.
wagons
loaden
with
corne
,
into
Landrecey
,
which
being
added
to
their
former
store
,
is
deemed
sufficient
to
maintaine
a
longer
siege
,
then
(
as
the
French
beleeve
)
it
is
like
to
endure
.
To
fortifie
it
throughly
,
his
Majesty
the
Christian
King
,
drew
a
platforme
,
and
sent
it
to
the
Count
of
Quinze
,
with
order
,
He
drew
his
Peasants
into
a
ranged
battell
,
The
Infanta's
Army
,
though
sensible
of
the
late
losse
which
was
somewhat
aggravated
at
the
generall
muster
,
by
the
losse
of
foure
Spanish
,
and
two
Italian
Captaines
,
they
removed
presently
to
Quesnoy
,
within
nine
English
miles
of
the
French
campe
,
where
they
re-entrenched
:
and
the
French
imagining
that
they
meant
to
give
them
battell
,
appeared
often
in
a
full
battalia
,
in
the
plain
between
Casteau
Cambresis
&
Apremont
:
yet
they
stirred
not
from
their
trenches
,
nor
as
yet
was
there
any
hostile
actions
commenced
betwixt
these
two
potent
enemies
,
equally
ambitious
of
victory
,
save
onely
,
But
a
most
probable
argument
of
the
future
tranquillity
of
the
Provinces
under
the
Christian
King
,
may
be
concluded
from
the
unexpected
returne
of
the
Spanish
forces
,
which
lay
fortified
in
Guyenne
,
into
their
own
land
.
The
last
yeere
they
invaded
that
Province
with
all
their
might
,
got
into
their
possession
Bordegain
,
Ciboure
,
Saint
John
de
Luz
,
and
some
other
small
places
,
fortified
them
with
retrenchments
,
horn-works
,
half-moons
,
Cullion-heads
,
and
other
like
works
of
that
nature
;
all
which
were
manifest
evidences
,
that
they
intended
to
hold
what
they
had
gotten
by
the
sword
,
and
fortune
of
warre
;
yet
this
yeere
,
September
15/25
,
no
man
assaulting
them
,
no
Army
appearing
in
field
against
them
,
(

the
French
do
relate
)
upon
a
bare
report
,
that
the
Duke
de
Valette
,
following
the
Kings
direction
,
was
comming
against
them
with
all
his
troops
,
the
Duke
of
Nocera
their
Generall
,
caused
them
to
leave
their
places
of
strength
,
and
to
return
with
him
homeward
.
The
causes
of
this
their
sudden
departure
are
related
diversly
,
some
ascribe
it
to
the
frequent
incursions
of
the
Bayonnois
,
into
Spain
,
and
the
Frontiers
of
Navarre
,
from
whence
they
never
returned
empty
of
pillage
,
horses
,
beefs
,
and
such
other
booty
,
the
inhabitants
there
being
unable
to
make
any
head
against
them
.
Others
to
the
necessity
of
the
Catholike
Kings
Dominions
,
which
by
the
rage
of
plague
and
pestilence
,
had
their
Garrisons
so
abated
,
that
the
remaynder
of
the
presidiaries
therin
,
was
not
able
to
mayntain
them
:
especially
in
Navarre
and
Pampelona
,
which
were
so
depopulated
by
these
maledies
(
especially
by
the
purple
)
that
these
Conquerours
could
not
expect
any
succours
thence
,
were
they
never
so
distressed
:
other
to
a
Panick
feare
,
caused
by
a
three
dayes
continued
fight
of
two
Eagles
in
the
Aire
,
which
being
not
determined
without
the
death
of
one
of
them
,
made
the
superstitious
people
entertain
horrid
conceits
of
direfull
and
terrible
consequents
.
But
this
of
all
the
rest
is
most
improbable
,
and
so
farre
from
having
any
semblances
with
truth
,
that
it
cannot
be
thought
a
concurrent
,
much
lesse
the
adequate
cause
of
the
Spanish
Dukes
sudden
departure
.
An
heroick
heart
is
not
affrighted
with
prodigies
,
and
yet
the
fight
of
the
Eagles
,
birds
of
prey
cannot
be
accounted
such
,
Doves
supposed
by
antiquity
to
be
made
up
without
gall
,
upon
the
choice
of
a
mate
have
done
the
like
,
and
then
it
is
not
to
be
wondred
if
these
royall
inhabitants
of
the
aire
,
shall
entertain
so
sharp
a
conflict
.
The
most
likely
causes
were
these
two
,
first
feare
of
impendent
want
of
victuals
,
which
though
they
yet
felt
not
,
leaving
two
houses
filled
with
bisket
at
Ciboure
,
yet
they
had
cause
to
imagine
,
must
necessary
soone
over
take
them
,
their
friends
were
not
able
to
relieve
them
;
nor
could
they
get
them
in
the
King
in
France
his
Dominion
,
the
Duke
of
Valette
,
having
by
order
from
his
Majesty
raised
three
strong
Forts
upon
the
adventues
of
their
inrodes
,
the
one
at
Espelette
,
the
second
at
Saint
Pe.
and
the
third
at
Biariz
upon
the
Sea
side
betwixt
them
and
Bayonne
,
which
secured
that
Province
from
their
incursions
.
Secondly
an
Epidemicall
disease
,
called
by
them
in
their
own
languages
Tavardillos
,
i.
a
pestilent
spotted
Fever
,
so
raging
amongst
them
,
that
it
had
swept
away
already
8000
men
of
the
Dukes
Army
,
by
both
which
they
were
made
sensible
of
that
losse
,
which
made
them
relinquish
their
holds
in
Guienne
,
wherof
they
had
foure
within
one
league
,
viz.
&
Bordegain
,
&
la
Carriere
(
where
they
had
raysed
a
Fort-royall
)
Socova
and
Ciboure
,
and
their
Fortifications
about
Orogne
and
Handaye
,
where
not
without
great
expense
,
they
had
made
a
circumvallation
,
able
to
contain
two
thousand
men
:
much
regret
and
unwillingnesse
,
as
may
be
more
then
collected
,
by
those
three
Escripts
,
left
(
as
the
French
say
)
behinde
them
,
and
found
after
their
departure
.
The
first
was
found
upon
the
Altar
at
Orogne
,
and
contained
these
words
.
Adios
Sen̄ores
Franceses
,
Dios
os
bendize
,
mil
maldiciones
os
echamos
,
y
nos
bolvemos
en
nuestra
tierra
.
In
English
thus
:
Adiew
you
French
Monsieurs
,
God
blesse
you
,
wee
give
you
1000
curses
,
and
are
now
returning
into
our
own
Country
.
The
second
was
found
in
the
Fort
of
Bordegain
,
in
these
words
.
Nuestra
miseria
haze
en
Guyenna
,
lo
que
vuestro
valor
ha
hecho
en
Languedora
.
which
is
,
Our
misery
hath
done
in
Guienne
what
Your
valour
hath
done
in
Languedock
.
The
third
was
exprest
in
these
termes
.
Si
nosotros
es●●vier
amos
tan
savios
como
se
suena
,
y
vosotros
tan
locos
que
lo
estuvistes
,
nuestros
negocios
serian
los
vuestros
,
y
los
vuestros
,
los
nuestros
.
That
is
,
If
we
were
as
wise
as
the
World
esteems
us
,
and
you
as
foolish
,
as
you
have
bin
at
other
times
,
our
successe
had
bin
yours
,
and
yours
had
bin
ours
.
Indeed
the
businesse
of
Languedock
struck
deep
,
it
was
a
great
blow
which
the
Spaniards
received
there
,
and
should
be
now
related
,
but
I
must
adjourne
the
Reader
for
14
dayes
,
till

Part
of

History

Languedock
