NAturall
reason
,
though
it
may
apprehend
much
by
way
of
composition
and
division
,
yet
in
contingent
Futures
,
such
as
are
the
issues
of
warre
,
it
can
onely
conclude
probably
,
never
demonstrate
scientifically
.
The
sword
,
a
faithfull
Minister
to
it's
supreame
Commander
,
will
not
returne
to
sheath
it selfe
(
what
ever
man
can
project
to
hinder
it
)
till
recalled
from
making
slaughter
by
him
which
first
gave
it
Commission
.
The
Elector
of
Saxony
having
concluded
a
Peace
with
Caesar
the
yeere
last
past
,
conceived
withall
,
that
both
his
Dukedome
and
the
whole
Empire
should
enjoy
a
firme
universall
Peace
,
and
be
no
longer
plundered
by
any
,
either
intestine
or
forraine
Broyles
.
But
this
hope
was
of
no
continuance
,
the
Conditions
of
the
Treaty
were
distasted
by
the
Crowne
of
Sweden
,
the
Lantgrave
of
Hessen
Cassell
,
Duke
Bernhard
of
Saxon
Weymer
,
and
some
other
Princes
of
the
Empire
,
and
the
Electors
confederacy
,
with
the
house
of
Austria
was
the
Procreatresse
of
the
Swedes
hostility
with
him
.
The
Marquesse
Elector
of
Brandenburg
,
and
the
Duke
of
Lunenburg
stood
a
while
as
Neutralls
,
ceasing
from
doing
offence
,
either
to
the
Imperiall
or
Swedish
party
,
till
by
the
instigation
of
the
Duke
of
Saxon
,
they
at
last
came
in
and
bore
Armes
against
their
late
friends
and
confederates
,
whose
powerfull
alliance
had
preserved
these
three
Princes
especially
from
utter
ruine
by
the
Caesarean
Armies
.
Magdenburg
,
a
City
famous
of
late
by
her
miseries
,
was
the
first
city
of
importance
or
note
,
against
which
the
Saxons
and
Imperialists
marched
:
The
city
was
defended
valiantly
by
the
Swedes
within
it
,
Magdenburg
surrendred
by
the
Swedes
to
the
Saxons
.
for
the
space
of
sixe
moneths
siege
,
and
then
their
expected
succours
out
of
Swedland
fayling
,
being
hindered
by
a
contrary
wind
,
after
that
by
divers
sallyes
they
had
slaine
many
of
their
enemies
,
much
weakned
the
two
puissent
armies
which
besieged
it
,
fortified
their
Fort
at
Werben
for
their
more
convenient
continuance
of
the
warre
in
Saxony
,
and
the
march
.
Brandenburg
,
upon
the
supplications
of
the
distressed
inhabitants
rendered
it
to
the
Saxons
Iuly
4/14
upon
good
tearmes
and
advantagious
conditions
,
and
marched
out
with
their
armes
and
baggage
,
and
two
peeces
of
great
Ordnance
.
The
Swedish
garison
was
conducted
to
Werben
,
and
three
Saxon
Regiments
were
immediately
laid
into
the
city
,
the
inhabitants
utterly
refusing
to
admit
any
Imperiall
Praesidiaries
.
The
losse
of
this
city
was
some
prejudice
to
the
Swedish
proceedings
,
yet
their
stout
Commanders
,
who
were
resolved
to
forge
out
their
owne
fortunes
,
or
perish
with
their
armies
,
held
on
play
still
,
sometimes
getting
,
and
sometimes
loosing
,
till
the
the
maine
Rest
at
Witstock
being
wonne
,
againe
advanced
their
cause
more
then
this
losse
had
slackned
it
.
The
Lantgrave
of
Hessen
,
who
alwayes
before
suspected
the
Treaty
of
Prague
,
and
preferred
a
just
war
before
a
perilous
and
dishonourable
Peace
:
at
this
time
giving
care
to
tearmes
of
Peace
,
lost
almost
his
whole
countrey
before
he
was
aware
of
it
.
The
Imperiall
army
under
Goetz
,
Grava
,
Gleere
,
and
other
Chieftaines
,
did
not
doe
him
so
much
damage
when
he
stood
upon
his
guard
,
as
did
his
owne
security
:
He
had
beene
often
perswaded
by
the
Elector
of
Saxony
,
the
Duke
of
Brunswicke
,
and
the
Marquesse
of
Dormstat
,
to
entertaine
the
Articles
concluded
at
Prague
,
yet
could
not
be
induced
thereunto
;
The
Bishop
of
Witzburg
in
the
end
sent
his
Agent
to
the
same
effect
,
who
not
prevailing
for
the
Maine
,
put
in
for
the
Bye
,
a
cessation
from
Armes
for
the
space
of
three
weekes
betwixt
his
and
the
Imperiall
Forces
,
whilest
the
Emperour
might
be
wrought
to
condescend
to
such
propositions
as
he
desired
.
During
the
time
which
he
appeared
in
the
Field
with
his
armies
,
he
not
onely
preserved
the
Lantgrave
from
the
fury
of
the
Caesareans
,
but
joyning
his
Forces
with
those
Swedish
troopes
under
our
brave
Countreyman
,
the
Field-Marshall
Lesle
(
whose
merit
and
memory
,
for
that
,
and
other
his
valiant
atchieuements
,
will
live
to
after
ages
,
though
the
circumstances
of
that
particular
come
not
within
the
verge
of
this
concise
History
)
sheltered
also
his
friends
and
confederates
from
the
storme
which
threatned
them
.
Hanaw
,
a
city
in
the
Weterawe
and
nursery
of
the
Evangelicall
Religion
,
Hanaw
relieved
by
the
Lantgraue
and
the
Field-Marshall
Lesle
and
the
siege
raised
.
was
straitly
beleaguerd
by
foure
severall
Imperiall
armies
,
and
he
,
by
the
military
skill
of
Ramsey
the
Governour
,
(
a
man
of
whom
we
may
glory
,
in
that
his
actions
there
spoke
him
a
true
Brittane
,
and
no
stranger
to
our
English
Orbe
)
defended
from
the
insulting
Enemy
which
breathed
out
threatnings
against
it
,
and
had
promised
himselfe
a
glorious
victory
,
till
the
contagion
within
had
deprived
him
of
the
one
halfe
and
more
of
his
fellow
defendants
,
and
the
Imperiall
armies
without
,
supplyed
dayly
with
fresh
men
,
made
him
not
despaire
of
reliefe
,
but
expect
it
from
abroad
.
In
the
height
of
this
necessity
,
the
Lantgrave
having
joyned
his
forces
,
with
the
Field-Marshal
Lesle
put
in
to
succour
him
;
and
by
the
prowesse
of
the
Commander
within
,
and
their
happy
successe
without
,
performed
their
intent
so
wishfully
,
that
the
Imperiall
armies
,
without
expectation
of
gaining
the
city
rose
from
the
siege
,
and
dispersing
themselves
sundry
wayes
,
left
it
more
free
then
they
found
it
.
The
Governour
,
an
expert
souldier
,
made
use
of
his
liberty
,
complyed
immediately
with
the
neighbouring
city
Frankford
,
and
so
prevailed
there
,
by
tendring
it
all
observant
respects
of
Vitinage
,
that
he
made
it
,
if
not
a
friend
,
no
enemy
,
though
formerly
they
had
stood
at
tearmes
of
hostility
:
But
thriving
men
seeke
as
much
to
enlarge
their
estates
,
by
a
new
addition
,
as
to
enjoy
their
old
ones
.
To
stand
in
a
faire
correspondence
with
that
Imperiall
city
,
and
to
doe
no
more
,
Ramsey
brings
the
neighbour
countreys
to
contribution
.
Ramsey
thought
it
not
sufficient
;
want
of
victualls
during
the
siege
,
made
him
know
how
necessary
they
were
,
and
having
engaged
the
Frankforders
,
not
to
oppose
him
in
his
course
,
he
then
by
Armes
brought
the
bordering
villages
to
be
his
Contributaries
.
The
Marquesse
of
Crana
and
the
Lord
Lamboy
,
which
had
formerly
besieged
the
city
,
were
countermanded
by
Caesar
to
attend
the
Imperiall
Generall
Gallas
,
;
the
Countrey
neere
him
was
not
pestered
with
hostile
Armes
,
and
the
Governour
apprehending
quickly
how
a
fortune
was
cast
upon
him
,
if
he
would
follow
it
,
invaded
the
Archbishoprick
of
Mentz
,
the
Bishoprick
of
Wertzburg
,
and
the
Territories
of
the
Lantgrave
of
Dormstat
,
extorting
from
them
(
what
they
would
not
have
given
him
willingly
)
victuals
and
money
.
His
procedings
with
the
boores
were
complained
to
the
Count
of
Donaw
,
who
thereupon
sent
his
Secretary
to
Hanaw
,
to
desire
a
cessation
of
Armes
,
with
those
neare
States
,
for
the
space
of
three
moneths
,
who
offered
that
if
hee
might
obtaine
his
conditions
,
that
the
Garrison
in
Steinheim
,
belonging
to
the
Arch-bishop
of
Mintz
,
and
that
in
Fridberg
also
should
be
cashiered
;
some
few
onely
reserved
for
the
maintenance
of
Tillage
,
the
fruit
whereof
should
bee
lawfull
prize
to
the
Masters
of
the
Field
,
whether
Swedes
or
Caesareans
,
on
the
North-side
of
the
Maine
,
yet
this
proposition
was
not
onely
refused
,
the
Governour
perceiving
the
hostility
brought
in
more
profit
than
quiet
,
but
hee
proceeded
further
,
tooke
the
Imperialls
prisoners
wheresoever
hee
found
them
,
dismissed
them
not
without
Ransome
,
and
about
the
midst
of
Iuly
,
And
intereeps
a
Convoy
frō
Brusfield
to
Lamboy
.
some
of
his
Souldiers
meeting
with
the
Governor
of
the
Fort
at
Brunsfield
(
taken
the
yeare
past
from
the
Imperialists
,
by
the
Count
Nassaw
Dillingberg
,
and
restored
them
againe
,
when
hee
accepted
the
Saxons
peace
)
carrying
eleven
Ensignes
made
for
the
Generall
Lamboy
,
with
this
Motto
:
Tandem
bona
causa
triumphat
.
They
set
uppon
the
Conduct
,
slew
some
of
the
souldiers
that
guarded
them
,
and
carryed
away
the
Colours
,
saying
,
That
of
right
they
belonged
to
them
in
respect
of
their
inscription
.
If
that
Maxime
of
the
Schoole
be
true
,
that
the
first
cause
is
the
cause
of
all
the
Products
in
the
same
kinde
:
the
Lantgrave
must
share
in
the
Governours
honour
,
his
then
victorious
Armes
,
giving
Ramsey
the
opportunity
thus
to
compasse
his
desires
:
Nothing
doth
man
more
disparagement
,
than
ungrounded
confidence
.
The
Prince
in
the
end
,
overcome
with
the
Rhetoricke
of
the
Bishops
agent
,
The
Lantg
:
looseth
most
part
of
his
Countrey
.
a
Cineas
that
did
more
with
his
words
,
than
the
Imperiall
forces
had
done
with
their
swords
,
that
he
might
not
appeare
the
singular
man
,
which
did
oppose
the
peace
,
laid
by
his
Armes
,
and
marched
into
the
Bishopricke
of
Paderborne
,
expecting
that
this
small
time
of
truce
,
might
secure
his
countrey
for
the
present
,
and
establish
his
tranquility
afterwards
.
His
absence
from
home
was
quickly
reported
to
the
Field-Marshall
Goetz
,
wose
Army
being
in
a
manner
dis-banded
,
at
the
raising
of
the
siege
of
Hanaw
,
and
himselfe
gone
into
Westphalia
,
was
rallyed
suddenly
upon
the
report
,
and
appoynted
for
the
spoyle
of
Hassia
.
The
Poles
which
came
downe
the
former
yeare
under
the
Prince
Cassimire
,
had
accepted
service
under
him
,
and
were
the
chiefe
strength
of
his
Army
.
These
men
,
of
which
there
were
44.
Cornets
,
when
Hanaw
was
relieved
,
mutined
upon
the
rising
of
the
Imperiall
Army
,
and
one
part
taking
the
way
of
Binghen
,
the
other
of
Oppenheim
to
passe
over
the
Rhyne
,
plundred
both
their
friends
and
foes
,
without
respect
of
any
thing
but
Pillage
.
Their
journey
home
againe
was
long
,
and
oft-times
they
got
nothing
by
their
out-rages
but
knocks
:
With
these
desperate
reysters
,
the
Imperiall
Commander
(
seeing
the
Lantgraves
confidence
)
complyed
suddenly
,
promised
a
months
pays
which
they
accepting
,
returned
againe
to
their
colours
,
and
joyned
with
him
in
the
invasion
of
Hessen-land
,
which
,
no
Army
appearing
to
resist
them
;
they
were
soone
Lords
of
Cassell
,
Zigenheim
and
Humburg
onely
accepted
.
A
Tempest
tryeth
the
Pilot
,
and
apparent
danger
proves
the
mettall
of
a
Souldier
.
The
Prince
informed
of
his
losse
,
despaired
not
,
but
first
resolved
,
with
the
few
forces
he
had
,
to
give
them
battaile
,
and
put
his
fortunes
to
a
day
;
yet
better
advising
with
himselfe
,
in
the
end
,
concluded
to
goe
in
person
to
the
united
States
of
the
Netherlands
,
and
desire
their
assistance
,
And
goeth
to
the
States
for

Forces

for
Auxiliaries
,
and
till
his
returne
,
to
commit
the
care
of
his
Countrey
to
his
trusty
servant
,
the
Lievtenant
Generall
Melander
,
and
he
,
though
his
men
were
farre
unequall
in
number
to
the
enemies
,
and
could
not
therefore
deale
with
them
in
open
field
,
yet
casting
about
to
surprise
them
at
advantages
,
made
head
against
them
,
kept
them
at
a
stand
,
and
about
the
midst
of
August
,
having
drawne
out
the
Garison
of
Cassell
,
and
mustered
up

of

It

should

The
Swedes
were
not
ignorant
of
the
calamities
which
had
befalne
the
Lantgrave
,
their
confederate
,
so
,
unexpectedly
,
and
sympathizing
with
him
for
his
sufferings
,
would
have
come
in
willingly
to
succour
him
,
but
that
a
storme
threatned
them
at
the
same
time
,
and
forced
them
to
call
home
the
Field-Marshall
Lesle
toward
the
Elve
to
re-enforce
themselves
against
the
approaching
enemies
.
The
Treaty
at
Lubeck
commeth
to
no
effect
.
The
gesture
of
the
Caesareans
confirmed
it selfe
to
the
season
of
the
weather
.
The
beginning
of
this
Summer
was
attended
with
a
cleare
sky
,
&
no
clouds
appeared
to
promise
an
after
raine
,
yet
suddenly
the
surface
of
the
Aiery
element
was
changed
,
and
water
distilled
more
plentifully
from
above
than
was
expected
,
and
sometimes
so
impetuously
,
that
the
people
made
it
a
question
,
whether
was
more
prejudiciall
to
the
fruites
of
the
earth
,
the
late
long
drought
,
or
those
violent
currents
of
water
which
fell
from
above
.
His
Majesty
of
Denmarke
had
laboured
much
to
establish
a
peace
in
the
Empire
,
and
no
enemy
appearing
so
openly
against
the
Imperiall
party
,
as
the
Crown
of
Sweden
,
by
consent
of
Caesar
;
a
supposed
Commission
was
delivered
to
the
Elector
of
Saxony
,
to
treate
with
that
Nation
at
Lubeck
in
the
particular
:
The
opening
of
the
sealed
Escript
discovered
,
what
the
Swedes
had
before
conjectured
:
Iuly
5/15.
The
agents
for
both
parties
met
,
and
the
Letters
then
broken
up
,
restrained
the
Electour
from
attempting
any
thing
which
might
prejudice
the
Empire
,
or
the
Imperiall
dignity
,
but
to
search
out
all
wayes
and
meanes
,
how
by
force
,
the
Swedes
might
be
compelled
to
depart
from
Germany
.
Oxenstierne
,
the
Grand
Chancellor
of
Sweden
stood
awhile
aghast
at
this
unlooked
for
amazement
,
Oxensterne
embarkes
for
Sweden
.
and
first
complayning
to
his
Majesty
of
Denmarke
,
of
the
affront
offered
to
the
Queene
his
Lady
their
Soveraigne
,
resolved
in
the
end
,
to
post
homeward
,
that
he
might
advise
with
the
Diet
then
assembled
at
Stockholme
,
for
a
farther
course
of
pursuing
,
or
ceasing
from
the
warre
,
leaving
order
in
the
interim
,
with
the
Generall
Banniere
,
to
maintaine
the
glory
of
the
Swedish
Nation
,
and
to
stand
in
defierce
of
Cesar
and
his
adherents
,
It
is
no
small
advantage
to
be
aforehand
,
the
gaining
of
a
place
of
importance
,
from
a
professed
foe
,
may
stumble
him
in
the
way
,
though
not
divert
him
from
his
dissigne
.
Vltzen
,
a
City
of
no
great
compasse
,
Vltzen
taken
by
the
General
Banniere
,
but
of
some
consequence
,
did
first
present
it selfe
to
his
fancy
:
the
Imperiall
Allyes
held
it
,
and
the
Swedes
intending
to
take
it
in
the
beginning
of
August
,
sate
downe
before
it
,
and
upon
the
9/10
of
the
same
month
,
brought
it
to
yeeld
upon
composition
.
Thence
hee
marched
to
Lumenburg
,
accompanied
and
re-enforced
by
the
Field-Marshall
Lesle
,
summoned
it
,
and
his
conditions
being
rejected
by
the
Senate
,
and
the
same
night
made
his
aproaches
to
the
very
Moate
of
the
city
,
though
with
some
losse
of
his
officers
and
souldiers
,
and
constrained
it
to
an
unwelcome
Composition
;
the
tearmes
were
these
:
That
the
Gattenberg
should
bee
delivered
to
the
Swedes
,
and
that
the
City
should
receive
a
garrison
and
Commander
.
Both
which
particulars
were
obtained
,
and
the
Swedish
Goetz
was
accepted
the
next
day
after
for
their
Governour
.
Thence
the
Generall
Banniere
conducted
his
Armies
to
the
Fort
of
Winsen
seated
upon
the
Elve
,
and
tooke
it
the
next
day
by
a
stratagem
,
And
the
Fort
at
Winsen
.
intending
first
to
cleere
the
river
,
as
being
more
convenient
for
his
de
signes
then
the
firme
land
(
this
Relation
is
written
from
Lunenberg
,
the
Sceane
of
this
designe
,
and
the
particulars
expressed
so
precisely
,
make
the
story
credible
)
and
this
Fort
he
being
master
of
immediately
,
rather
by
policy
then
power
,
marched
thence
toward
Havelberg
and
Werben
,
to
prevent
the
Saxon
and
Imperiall
Armies
which
were
then
laying
of
Bridges
over
the
Elve
,
intending
to
make
an
invasion
into
the
Dukedome
of
Meckleburg
.
The
time
to
decide
the
controversie
betwixt
them
with
the
sword
was
not
yet
come
.
Neere
Werben
the
Swedish
Army
was
encamped
,
where
not
expecting
an
Enemy
so
suddenly
,
the
Swedes
.
kept
not
the
strict
watch
they
used
to
doe
,
the
Generall
himselfe
taking
his
recreation
,
and
his
absence
,
though
not
authorizing
the
Officers
to
leave
their
places
of
charge
,
yet
ministring
occasion
of
a
perfunctory
care
,
was
neere
to
have
brought
the
Swedes
to
confusion
.
The
Duke
of
Saxony
having
received
a
Commission
from
the
Emperour
,
though
limited
was
many
Conditions
;
the
13.
23.
of
the
same
month
was
at
Magdenburg
in
person
,
taking
an
oath
of
allegiance
from
the
Magistrate
there
to
himselfe
,
as
to
the
Generalissimo
,
at
which
time
being
certified
by
his
spies
,
of
the
Swedes
posture
,
he
immediately
sent
the
Collonel
Vnger
against
them
with
two
Regiments
,
One
of
the
Swedes
quarters
raised
at
Werben
by
the
Col.
Vngar
and
Banniere
like
to
haue
beene
surprized
.
who
arriving
at
the
Campe
before
the
Swedes
could
well
Arme
,
raised
one
of
the
quarters
,
slew
some
few
of
the
Souldiers
,
and
had
neare
surprised
Banniere
himselfe
,
who
was
abroad
at
hunting
with
his
late
marryed
wife
:
But
the
Swedes
were
soone
armed
,
and
in
the
end
chased
away
the
Saxon
Commander
,
and
the
same
day
encountried
with
a
company
of
Imperiall
Bragoones
,
whom
they
tooke
prisoners
,
and
convayed
them
to
Brandenburg
.
Goetz
,
the
Caesarean
Field-Marshall
,
in
the
time
of
this
preparation
,
had
leasure
to
pursue
his
Conquests
in
Hessen-land
,
and
marched
thence
into
Westphalia
,
where
Paderborn
,
a
City
yerst
in
the
Imperial
,
now
in
the
Hasseans
hands
,
presented
it selfe
as
an
object
,
either
of
his
Conquest
or
disgrace
,
if
he
tooke
it
not
in
.
It
was
a
Bishops
See
,
and
a
good
one
too
;
the
King
of
Sweden
gloried
,
that
he
had
brought
it
under
his
government
,
and
the
Imperiall
Commander
in
fine
,
esteemed
it
as
a
piece
worthy
of
a
siege
.
He
summoned
it
,
and
the
Hassean
Garrison
,
fifteene
companies
strong
,
returned
shot
for
words
,
to
the
great
vexation
of
the
Field-Marshall
,
who
instantly
rounded
it
with
his
Army
,
and
after
nine
hundred
Canons
shot
,
and
foure
assaults
,
compelled
the
Garrison
to
yeeld
upon
his
mercy
:
Paderborne
surrendred
to
Goetz
.
And
the
Garrison
consisted
of
eight
hundred
men
,
under
the
command
of
the
Collonel
Girse
,
Collonel
of
the
white
Regiment
,
who
was
detained
Prisoner
,
the
Captaines
set
at
liberty
,
and
the
inferiour
Officers
and
Souldiers
compelled
to
attend
the
victorious
Field-Marshals
colours
.
Melander
,
and
Generall
major
Beckerman
were
then
at
Hamme
,
with
eight
hundred
Horse
,
but
unable
to
relieve
their
confederates
,
stood
rather
as
spectators
and
attendants
upon
the
issue
,
than
forward
assistants
to
relieve
them
;
and
hearing
of
the
fate
of
the
City
,
dismarched
thence
to
Dorstmund
,
in
Westphalia
,
giving
way
to
their
enemies
to
march
on
toward
Osnabrug
,
where
they
expected
,
but
found
not
the
like
successe
.
Osnabrug
was
both
well
manned
and
fortified
,
and
Goetz
fearing
,
that
if
he
should
besiege
it
,
Goetz
onely
appearing
before
Osnabrugge
and
dis-marcheth
presently
to
Zoest
.
which
is
fired
and
surrendred
.
he
should
lose
time
and
waste
his
Army
,
onely
looked
upon
it
,
and
returned
toward
Hessen-land
,
and
in
the
beginning
of
September
,
summoned
Zoest
,
a
small
City
upon
the
River
Lippe
,
which
refusing
to
yeeld
to
his
words
,
the
eighth
of
the
same
moneth
,
by
his
Army
,
was
besieged
,
and
the
9.19
.
almost
hurnt
to
the
ground
by
the
Granadoes
cast
out
of
the
Campe
,
the
Wilde
fire
taking
hold
of
some
thatched
houses
,
whereof
there
were
many
in
the
towne
,
and
their
contiguity
to
the
others
,
dispersing
the
devouring
flame
,
to
the
terrour
and
astonishment
of
the
Garrison
and
inhabitants
,
who
in
this
confusion
knew
no
other
way
to
preserve
their
owne
lives
,
and
some
small
remnant
of
their
goods
,
than
by
exposing
their
estates
and
persons
to
the
mercy
of
the
Conquerour
,
who
received
the
Garrison
with
condition
to
serve
under
him
,
and
caused
his
souldiers
to
assist
the
Citizens
in
the
extinguishment
of
the
consuming
fire
.
The
Garrison
of
Osnabrugge
after
the
departure
of
this
Field-Marshall
,
and
assurance
that
hee
was
passed
the
Weser
sent
to
Minden
,
advises
of
a
designe
they
had
conceived
against
Lemgaw
,
a
City
kept
by
foure
companies
of
Imperiall
horse
,
and
300
foote
,
under
the
Generall
Major
Sperrheuter
,
The
Garrisons
of
Osnabrug
and
Minden
take
Lemgaw
by
Onslat
and
desired
their
assistance
for
the
prosecution
of
it
.
Helpe
was
sent
them
,
and
about
the
midst
of
Septem.
they
surprized
the
City
,
put
the
most
part
of
the
Cavallary
and
Infantry
to
the
sword
,
apprehended
Sperrheuter
(
who
had
hid
himselfe
in
a
dry
Fat
,
but
was
found
out
by
diligent
search
)
not
as
a
Prisoner
of
Warre
,
but
as
a
traytor
to
the
Crowne
of
Sweden
,
a
fugative
from
his
naturall
Prince
,
and
complotter
and
publicke
practizer
with
the
professed
enemies
of
his
Soveraigne
,
And
apprehend
the
fugitive
Sperrheuter
.
and
sent
him
with
a
Guard
,
first
to
Minden
,
then
to
Nyenberg
,
where
this
degenerous
spirit
,
dyed
of
a
sullen
griefe
,
fore-casting
the
just
punishment
,
which
might
be
inflicted
upon
him
by
the
Swedish
Generall
for
his
treason
,
and
the
taunts
of
the
ordinary
Souldiers
,
who
detesting
his
persideousnesse
,
ceased
not
to
reproach
him
with
the
memory
of
his
unjust
dealing
,
and
unthankfulnesse
toward
the
deceased
King
,
who
had
raised
him
from
a
common
man
to
beare
an
Office
of
eminence
in
his
Army
:
For
the
King
during
the
time
of
his
warre
in
Poland
,
meeting
him
,
as
he
came
from
fight
,
and
seeing
his
body
strooke
through
with
a
Speare
,
or
Partizan
,
gave
him
the
name
of
Sperrheuter
,
and
afterwards
so
favoured
him
,
that
he
raysed
him
to
be
a
Generall
.
No
Obligation
can
be
a
sufficient
tye
to
a
Canckred-corrupt
rotten-hearted
man
:
An
Achitophel
will
prove
false
to
his
Master
,
though
he
becrowned
each
day
with
new
favours
,
yet
in
the
end
the
Divine
Justice
will
over-reach
him
,
the
terrours
of
a
guilty
conscience
will
afright
,
and
bring
him
to
a
desperate
end
.
Goetz
,
after
the
prize
of
Zoest
undertooke
new
expeditions
against
Lunen
and
Dortmund
,
which
he
easily
became
Master
of
,
the
Hassian
forces
under
Melander
and
Eppen
,
being
unable
to
withstand
him
.
Dortmund
was
better
manned
than
the
other
,
Dortmund
taken
by
Goetz
.
and
held
out
the
better
.
There
lay
one
thousand
Hassen
foote
,
and
two
companyes
of
horse
,
which
behaved
themselves
so
stoutly
,
that
they
hindred
the
Imperiall
Field-marshall
two
whole
dayes
from
raysing
a
Battery
:
The
night
onely
favoured
his
proceedings
,
and
the
darknesse
concealing
his
movements
from
the
Garrison
,
by
the
benefit
thereof
,
whilst
he
deluded
the
besieged
with
false
fires
on
the
oneside
of
the
City
,
he
raised
a
mount
on
the
other
side
,
whence
he
played
the
next
day
with
his
Canon
upon
the
Towne
,
and
by
the
succour
of
them
made
his
approaches
to
the
Moate
about
the
walls
,
where
,
omitting
no
time
,
he
cast
his
fire-workes
into
the
City
,
which
tooke
effect
,
set
the
houses
on
fire
,
affrighted
the
Women
and
Children
,
whose
outcryes
wrought
so
upon
the
hearts
of
the
Souldiers
,
that
they
surrendred
the
place
to
the
Besieger
,
and
submitted
to
his
descretion
.
Thence
hee
drew
his
Army
towards
Hamme
,
Lipstat
,
and
Coesfield
,
not
yetresolved
where
to
pitch
first
,
all
these
places
being
well
guarded
,
yet
before
one
of
these
he
resolved
to
set
downe
,
and
Hamme
in
the
end
was
concluded
to
be
the
next
object
of
his
Armes
:
This
City
in
the
time
of
the
last
siege
being
made
a
prison
for
two
great
Lords
of
Munster
,
and
the
Rit-master
Danekel
,
which
September
12.22
.
were
encountred
by
some
of
Epens
souldiers
,
which
flew
their
Convoy
with
the
sword
,
and
sent
these
persons
prisoners
thither
.
Hamme
put
the
period
to
his
conquests
there
,
though
it
suffered
the
common
fate
of
the
neighbour
townes
,
and
was
compelled
in
sine
to
yeeld
to
the
Conquerour
;
for
the
Lantgrave
by
the
end
of
that
siege
was
returned
from
the
Neatherlands
,
and
rallying
up
his
owne
Forces
,
strengthened
with
4000.
Auxiliaries
,
made
head
against
him
:
and
a
cloud
was
risen
in
the
North
part
of
Germany
,
attended
with
thunder
and
lightning
,
threatned
a
feil
upon
the
Saxon
and
Imperiall
Armies
,
who
called
to
him
for
succour
,
and
by
an
especiall
mandate
from
Caesar
,
commanded
him
towards
the
Lower
Saxony
,
to
stop
the
victorious
progresse
of
the
Swedes
.
It
was
a
generall
time
of
horrour
and
tumultuary
confusion
in
Almaine
,
where
ever
the
Sceane
of
Warre
lay
,
each
party
preferring
their
owne
private
ends
before
the
publike
good
,
deprived
the
generall
state
of
the
ordinary
blessings
from
heaven
:
The
French
Garrison
at
Coblentz
denyed
leave
to
all
Traffiquers
to
carry
Wine
downe
the
Rhyne
.
The
miseries
about
Franckford
,
&c.
The
Imperiall
at
Andernach
permitted
no
Corne
to
be
brought
up
the
river
,
though
their
friends
in
Germany
wanted
more
that
necessary
provision
for
their
lively
hood
as
being
the
staffe
of
life
,
then
the
strangers
abroad
did
the
fruit
of
the
grape
,
more
esteemed
perhaps
,
A
lamentable
story
.
but
not
so
needfull
.
The
Divine
providence
had
forbidden
the
earth
there
to
give
her
increase
to
the
Natives
(

it

An

called
at

the
Emperour
called
an
Electorall
Diet
at
Ratisbone
,
which
was
long
before
it
began
,
the
Electors
delaying
their
comming
thither
beyond

appointed
time

pretending
severall
excuses
upon

,
about
7.
in
the
evening
he
arrived
at
Regenspurg
and
was
received
at
the
gate
of
the
city
by
the
Magistrate
,
under
a
Canopy
,
the
people
present
falling
upon
their
knees
,
where
he
was
entertained
with
an
Oration
made
by
the
Syndicke
of
the
city
,
and
then
rode
away
in
his
Coach
to
the
Cathedrall
,
at
the
entry
whereof
the
Bishop
met
him
,
did
him
the
like
obeisance
which
the
people
had
done
at
the
gate
,
presented
him
with
his
Crosier
,
which
he
kissed
;
conducting
him
first
into
the
Church
singing
Saint
Ambrose
his
Hymne
,
and
afterwards
to
the
Episcopall
Palace
the
place
where
his
Majesty
intended
to
reside
during
the
first
Sessions
of
the
Diet
,
finding
his
spirits
decayed
and
his
strength
of
body
to
be
abated
,
though
no
evident
cause
of
his
weakenesse
could
be
assigned
.
Two
dayes
after
,
the
Duke
of
Bavaeria
,
pretended
the
Title
of
Elector
by
donation
from
the
Emperour
and
right
of
succession

The
meeting
of
the
Princes
came
thither
also
accompanted
with
his
Dutchesse
,
and
attended
with
500.
horse
,
to
give
his
Vote
in
the
Electorall
affembly
;
and
was
lodged
as
neere
the
Emperour
as
might
be
.
The
Elector
of
Mentz
appeared
in
person
the
day
following
;
and
the
Elector
of
Colen
by
his
deputies
the
Counts
of
Meternick
and
Romseck
:
The
Elector
of
Mentz
tooke
up
his
lodging
in
an
house
appointed
for
the
Archbishop
Elector
of
Triers
,
who
being
under
guard
at
Namur
,
was
conducted
like
a
prisoner
,
not
a
free
Prince
,
towards
Regenspurg
about
one
moneth
afterwards
,
by
a
Convoy
of
some
hundred
horse
,
commanded
by
an
Imperiall
Collonel
called
Gonzaga
;
And
being
arrived
at
Donawerth
,
as
he
was
upon
his
journey
,
he
there
fled
into
a
Cloyster
called
Saint
Crosse
,
otherwise
Saint
Iohns
Hill
,
in
hope
in
that
place
,
of
particular
priviledges
to
remaine
free
as
in
a
Sanctuary
;
Vpon
Letters
received
from
the
Emperour
(
to
whom
Collonel
Gonzago
had
sent
word
thereof
)
the
said
Commander
did
attempt
to
neglect
those
priviledges
,
and
would
have
drawne
the
Elector
out
by
force
:
But
upon
better
thoughts
and
counsell
,
the
Popes
Nuncio
was
imployed
unto
him
,
who
with
faire
words
and
promises
perswaded
him
to
come
out
voluntarily
,
and
so
he
was
againe
taken
and
carryed
on
his
journey
to
Passaw
:
Passing
neere
Ratisbone
,
or
Regenspurg
,
he
desired
much
to
bee
suffered
to
come
in
,
and
to
be
admitted
into
the
presence
of
the
Electors
and
the
Electorall
Colledge
,
but
all
in
vaine
.
From
Passau
he
hath
bin
carried
further
to
Lintz
,
where
he
yet
remaineth
;
His
cause
having
lately
bin
discussed
,
&
himselfe
condemned
to
be
diskeyed
from
his
Electorall
dignity
&
Bishoprick
,
and
to
be
kept
betwixt
4
walls
in
prison
all
the
rest
of
his
life
.
What
from
divers
places
was
written
concerning
this
Prince
,
&
particularly
that
he
had
sent
his
Vote
in
writing
to
the
Colledge
,
is
all
a
fiction
:
For
knowing
that
all
his
Papers
and
Letters
,
with
his
Chancery
,
were
in
his
enemies
hands
;
whereby
did
sufficiently
appeare
,
what
he
had
treated
with
forraine
Princes
in
prejudice
of
the
Empire
,
and
specially
of
the
house
of
Austria
:
He
did
not
stand
upon
high
tearmes
of
his
justification
,
but
rather
in
all
humility
offer
and
promise
his
Vote
and
himselfe
to
the
Emperours
command
and
pleasure
.
The
Marquesse
of
Brandenburgh
appeared
by
the
Count
of
Swartzenburgh

assigne

and
the
Duke
of
Saxony

Frederick
Lebselder
,
his
Chamberlaine
both
by
Agents
,
but
not
authorized
by
any
commission
,
as
his
Deputy
in
the
Electorall
negotiation
.
The
absence
of
the
Saxon
somewhat
displeased
the
Emperour
,
who
sent
Duke
Henry
Iulius
of
Saxon
Lawenberg
to
the
Elector
,
to
require
his
personall
appearance
,
and
that
speedily
,
but
was
returned
by
the
Elector
,
with
an
excuse
for
himselfe
,
and
a
commission
to
his
Agents
,
to
giue
his
vote
in
that
Parliament
:
The
King
of
Bohemia
was
onely
wanting
,
he
had
beene
visiting
the
Army
under
Gallas
,
upon
its
march
to
ward
Burgundy
,
and
after
his
labour
reposed
himselfe
somefew
dayes
in
Brissach
,
and
thither
a
Currier
was
dispatched
,
August
13.23
.
with
letters
,
requiring
his
speedy
,
and
personall
presence
,
which
he
received
,
and
posted
thence
to
Ratisbone
.
Some
prodigies
,
as
it
is
related
from
Ratisbone
,
happening
in
sundry
places
of
the
Empire
,
before
the
meeting
of
the
Princes
,
had
dis-heartned
the
common
people
,
and
made
them
despaire
of
any
good
issue
by
that
treaty
:
One
was
at
Wels
,
the
suddaine
uncovering
of
the
Emperours
house
of
pleasure
,
there
where
hee
was
lodged
,
(
it
being
seated
in
the
midst
of
a
Moorasse
)
by
a
violent
tempest
,
and
this
was
accompanyed
with
two
others
at
Lintz
,
the
first
whereof
,
was
the
suddaine
fall
of
an
Arch
of
the
Bridge
made
over
the
Danuby
,
Some
feareful
accidents
before
the
Dyet
,
esteemed
prodigious
.
which
his
Imperiall
Majestie
had
no
sooner
passed
over
,
but
it
tumbled
into
the
River
;

blast
into

Ayre

scattered

wayes
,
and
the
one
in
the
end
fell
upon
the
house
appointed
for

the
other
upon

the
third
upon

These
conceits
were
fond
,
and
Superstitious
,
not
rationall
and
sound
.
The
harsh
beginning
of
the
first
Session
,
was
more
to
be
feared
as
a
fatall
Prognosticke
of
no
happy
conelusion

,
whereof
wee
are
Guardians

,
intrusted
for

I
must
acknowledge
my selfe
much
honoured
by
Caesar
,
in
apointing
me
to
bee
the
Prolocutor
in
this
Senate
of
Princes
,
and
yet
could
have
wished
to
have
lost
this
honour
,
that
I
might
have
beene
delivered
of
the
burdon
.
The
charge
is
heavy
to
me
to
deliver
,
and
may
be
tedious
to
your
cares
to
heare
it
,
so
many
Propositions
as
could
be
well
couched
in
9.
Folioes
of
paper
,
containing
the
heads
only
of
what
I
should
deliver

and
we
jointly
advise
of

But
his
Majestie
unwilling
to
tire
or
me
in
speaking
,
or
you
in
hearing
,
and
concluding
,
desires
onely
for
the
present
,
your
resolutions
and
determinations
,
first
vpon
your
votes
for
the
Election
and
nomination
of
a

of

Secondly
,
your
councells
in

with
the
Elector
of

;
Thirdly
your
sage
judgements
for
the
restablishing
of
the
Empire
,
and
restoring
it
to
its
ancient
splendor
,
and
peaceable
estate
,

how
to
arme
against

,
reserring
the
rest
to
a
Diet
the
next
yeere
,
to
bee
held
at
Norimberg
or
Collen
;
of
all
which
I
shall
for
my
owne
particular
,
give
mine
opinion
,
desiring
your
Highnesses
to
heare
me
patiently
,
and
then
to
speake
unpartially
.
How
happily
the
Government
of
the
Sacred
Roman
Empire
hath
beene
administred
by
his
Majesty
that
now
raigneth
,
I
neede
not
shew
you
,
who
have
beene
witnesses
of
his
justice
and
policie
,
which
though
my selfe
,
or
you
should
seeme
to
forget
,
this
our
happy
meeting
would
testifie
,
and
remonstrate
unto
us
.
Other
Princes
have
beene
blessed
in
peace
;
this
present
,
glorious
in
the
Trophees
of
Warre
?
Warre
not
unjustly
grounded
,
to
the
vexation
of
forraine
Princes
,
but
necessarily
undertaken
for
the
safety
of
the
states
under
his
protection
.
The
Gothes
and
Vandalis
under
Alarick
their
King
,
were
not
so
formidable
to
Italy
,
in
the
raignes
of
Arcadius
and
Honorius
,
or
under
Totiles
afterwards
,
as
they
have
beene
under
the
King
of
Sweden
lately
,
to
the
Prinoes
of
Germany
to
oppose
them
,
Caesar
neither
spared
his
purse
,
nor
forces
,
and
in
the
end
,
when
I
my selfe
was
forced
to
forsake
my
Metropolitane
Citie
of
Mentz
,
and
to
give
way
to
the
Invaders
,
when
the
Elector
of
Cologne
was
scarce
safe
in
his
owne
Palace
,
the
Bishop
of
this
See
made
their
Prisoner
;
the
Bishop
of
Wirtzburge
deptived
of
his
dignitie
by
their
Conquests
,
and
the
better
halfe
of
Germary
,
either
by
force
was
constrained
,
or
willingly
yeelded
them
obedience
.
His
Imperiall
Majestie
raised
a
puissant
Army
to
resist
them
,
sending
out
his
owne
Sonne
,
the
King
of
Hungary
as
his
Generall
,
who
begun
auspiciously
at
this
Citie
in
which
wee
are
now
met
peaceably
,
and
within
three
moneths
after
,
so
scattered
their
Army
,
by
a
glorious
victory
neere
Nordlinguen
,
that
hee
delivered
us
from
feare
of
their
arming
afterward
.
Non
ignota
loquor
—
.
But
the
Olive
which
upon
our
election
,
vouchsafed
to
become
the
Prince
of
the
Forrest
,
and
communicate
his
fatnesse
to
us
,
beginneth
now
to
wither
the
dayes
of
this
Pater-patniae
are
now
declining
,
and
yet
though
the
weakenesse
,
which
is
the
attendant
of
old
age
,
hath
made
him
lesse
active
in
body
,
his
Wisedome
and
Piety
appeare
in
him
Illustrious
through
the
wrinkles
of
his
body
;
and
now
,
that
this
Sacred
Empire
,
may
not
like
a
fatherlesse
Orphan
,
want
a
Governour
,
if
his
Sunne
should
set
unexpectedly
,
hee
hath
summoned
this
assembly
,
for
the
Election
,
and
nomination
of
a
King
of
Romanes
,
who
lawfully
ordained
,
and
called
thereunto
according
to
the
Municipall
Lawes
,
and
constitutions
of
the
Empire
,
and
the
priviled
ges
of
the
Electors
ordained
by
Gregory
,
the
great
Bishop
,
the
fifth
of
that
name
,
(
though
Caesar
himselfe
intendeth
to
hold
the
dignity
during
his
life
)
may
succeed
him
immediatly
in
going
in
and
out
before
this
great
people
,
and
there
may
be
no
vacancy
in
the
Empire
.
The
proposition
cannot
be
but
plausible
,
tending
to
the
peace
of
the
state
,
if
there
arise
no
Controversie
about
the
person
to
be
elected
to
this
Office
,
of
highest
honor
,
and
trust
.
I
will
not
presume
to
counsell
you
,
nor
is
it
in
the
power
of
man
to
prescribe
you
,
where
your
votes
shall
fall
.
Onely
me
thinks
it
would
relish
of
unthankfulnesse
,
if
not
injustice
if
wee
should
pitch
upon
any
other
then
the
King
of
Hungary
,
the
Austrian
Familie
,
by
a
long
continued
succession
,
by
the
space
of
198
yeeres
,
ever
since
Albert
the
Fifth
,
having
discharged
this
high
Office

The

silent

neither
assented

the

The

a

may
be
drawne

it

questioned

whether

was
read

,

was
for

Christian

not
for

the
publicke

of

,
which
he
said
,
having
beene
swayed
so
long
by
the
Austrians
,
whose
polity
in
their
life
,
was
to
make
the
Rex
Romanorum
of
one
of
the
same
family
,
was
like
to
suffer
by
this
continuated
succession
,
and
in
time
might
be
claymed
by

:
the

at

being
rather
called
for

,
than
otherwise
,
and
preseribed
to
whom
they
should
suffragate
before
they
appeare
in
Parliament
.
He
omitted
not
to
set
forth
the
power
of
the
Christian
King
,
which
being
united
to
the
strength
of
the
Empire

neede

that
this

would
imitate
in

of

,
not
refusing
the

of

Though
this
had
beene

,
these

were

These
puissant
armies
thus
prepared
for

,
each
sought
their
advantages
,
and
yet
neither
started
farre
from
the
other
,
both
parties
intending
to
put
their
fortunes
to
a
day
of
tryall
.
Bannier
was
instructed
by
letters
from
Stockholme
,
and
directed
by
order
from
the
Crowne
of
Sweden
,
to
force
the
Saxons
to
a
fight
,
the
issue

might
either
be
an
encouragement

it
proved
fortunate
,

the
withdrawing

,
that

should

followed
the
direction
,
and
causing
his
Souldiers
first
to
store
up
the
best
part
of
their
baggage
in
fortified
places
,
marched
against
the
united
armies
under
Elector
Hatzfield
,
and
Marazini
,
onely
with
such
utensells
as
were
absolutely
necessary
:
The
Elector
presuming
of
a
victory
went
to
the
Campe
,
furnished
as
for
a

,
his

So
confident
was
he
in
defeating
his
enemy
.

game
was
playd
cunningly
on

sides
:

lay
eight

forced

sent
out
a
Trumpet
about
nine
at
night
,
with
covenants
of
surrendring
,
which
,
as
being
too
advantageous
for
the
Garrison
,
were
rejected
by
the
Field-Marshall
,
who
renewed
his
battery
,
played
incessantly
upon
the
City
with
his
Canon
till
the
next
morning
,
and
then
having
made
his
approaches
to
the
very
Walls
,
and
ready
to
give
an
assault
,
the
Flagge
of
Parley
was
hung
out
,
and
the
Garrison
consisting
at
that
houre
,
of
above
twelve
thousand
able
men
,
was
dismissed
peaceably
upon
these
conditions
.
1.
-
THat
the
City
,
with
all
the
Canons
,

by

bee

Swedish
Generall

-
That
the
Prisoners
on
both
sides
should
bee
set
at
liberty
,
and
the
impotent
Souldiers
of
the
Garrison
should
bee
furnished
with
Wagons
for
their
transportation
.
3.
-
That
as
many
as
were
willing
to
serve
under
the
Swedes
,
should
not
as
much
as
be
disswaded
from
it
by
the
Imperiall
Commanders
,
and
that
the
inhabitants
should
not
bee
molested
by
the
Victorious
Swedes
.
4.
-
Lastly
,
That
the
Imperiall
Garrison
should
march
out

all
their
Baggage
,
two
pieces
of

they
brought
thither
,
and

a
Convoy
to
Custrin
or
Landsbergen
.
All
which
was
prescribed
at
the
Campe
by
the
Impersall
Commanders
,
and
observed
by
the
Field-Marshall
Wrangell
faithfully
.
And
yet
the
Swedes
remembring
the
proceeding
of
the
Imperialists
at
Franckford
,
the
yeare
last
passed
,
and
mentioned
in
that
History
,

the
Persons

of
the
Citizens

demolished
the
Walls
which
rounded
the
City

slighted

,
that
it
might
no
longer
be
a
shelter
to

spoyling
bands

This
purchase
was
but
the
attendant
to
Banniers
glorious
victory
;
if
the
beginning
of
the
day
of

,
and
the
defeate
of

armies
might
terminate
his
Conquest
but
a
concomitant
,
and
of
no

birth
,
if
we
take
the
Swedish

glory
not
in
the
blossome
,
but
full

thinking
that
their
late
victories
gotten
by
them
on

sides
the

,
would
have
encouraged
them
to
have
put
their
Armies
in

aray
against
him
,
who
ceased
not
to
out-brave
them
too
,
by
many
affronts
and
offers
of
skirmishes
to
the
same
intention
.
But
the
wary
Hatzfield
,
Morazini
,
and
the
Saxon
Armies
,
not
being
to
be
allured
out
of
their
hold
,
by
hopes
of
uncertaine
glory
,
by
a
doubtfull
fight
in

field
,
lay
still
,
and
would
not
permit
their
Souldiers
to
stirre
out
of

onely
that
they
should
stand
ready
within
their
earthen
walls
,
to
entertaine
the
Swedes
if
they
should
assault
them

seeing
this
project
faild
,
ranged
his
Forces
into
an
orderly
body
,
Retaketh

.
and
marched
in
the
sight
of
his
enemies
towards

,
and
Werben
,
the
first
of
which
,
by
the
indiscretion
of
the
Garrison
,
was
forced
to
submit
to
his
discretion
;
for
mistaking
the
Sweds
for
their
confederates
,
and
not
supposing
them
to
have
had
the
way
open
for
their
march
thitherward
,
they
let
them
come
to
the
very
Walls
of
the
City
and
Castle
,
where
at
once
,
the
Garrison
having
discovered
their
persons
and
their
strength
,
found
it
vaine
to
stand
out
,
and
surrendred
the
Towne
and
Fort
to
their
mercy

thus
surprized
,
the

plyed

so
close

,
that
by
the
judgement
of
his
Counsaile
of

,
it
was
not
to
be

that

wise
deliberation
,
projecting
a
better
gaine
,
and
more
glory
else-where
,
than
could
be
got
by
that
petit
victory
,
deferring
onely
in
the
meane
time
that
pursuit
,
and
concluding
to
perfect
it
afterwards
.
Advisoes
,
and
certaine
too
,
were
brought
him
,
that
the
Elector
of
Saxony
,
Marazini
and
Hartzfield
were
risen
from
their
trenches
at
Perlerberg
,
Septemb.
19.29
.
and
marched
towards
Pritzwald
,
with
an
intention
to
goe
to
Witstocke
,
and
thence
to
goe
over
the
Havel
at
Zedenick
:
And
the
Swede
to
give
them
as
little
rest
as
might
be
,
thereon
left
the
siege
at
Werben
,
and
pursuing
the
enemy
at
the
heeles
,
made
head
toward
the
Campe
of
the
Imperialists
and
Saxons
,
by
the
way
of
Westerhousen
.
That
which
is
apparantly
evill
to
the
eye
of
humane
reason
,
by
the
wisedome
of
Divine
providence
often
proves
a
blessing
,
and
of
happy
consequence
:
Such
was
the
prize
of
Brandenburg
,
by
the
Saxon
Klitzing
;
the
Swedes
esteemed
it
no
small
losse
,
the
Saxons
no
little
advantage
,
but
the
losse
of
the
Towne
was
gaine
to
the
Swedish
army
,
and
the
prize
thereof
by
Klitzing
was
in
probability
the
ruine
of
the
Imperiall
and
Saxon
armies
.
The
passage
of
Zedenick
secured
.
The
passage
at
Zedenick
might
have
served
as
a
posterne
for
Klitzing
to
have
come
with
his
forces
upon
the
backe
of
the
Swedes
,
had
it
beene
left
open
for
him
;
so
much
was
Bannier
accquainted
with
,
by
the
late
Commander
in
Brandenburg
,
who
was
instantly
commanded
by
the
Generall
to-make
good
that
passage
with
those
old
souldiers
which
were
conducted
from
Brandenburg
to
Rupin
,
against
the
excursions
of
the
Campe
at
Witstocke
,
or
in
roads
of
Klitzings
Army
,
which
he
did
accordingly
.
How
many
severall
changes
are
there
in
one
Military
Dance
?
All
these
preparations
were
to
meete
with
the
Electors
,
and
Hatzfields
armies
in
open
field
upon
their
Martch
,
and
now
suddenly
a
Currier
poasted
to
the
Swedish
Campe
with
new
avisoes
,
that
the
enemies
were
strongly
incamped
neare
Witstock
,
having
the
City
on
the
one
side
to
defend
them
,
the
Cloyster
or
Monastery
called
the
Holy
Sepulchre
,
situate
upon
a
Mountaine
,
called
Sherpen
Hill
fortified
,
16.
redoubts
on
the
other
side
,
under
which
stood
their
Battaglie
,
ranged
for
fight
,
and
a
Forrest
behinde
them
,
serving
as
a
Countermure
for
their
safety
.
The
newes
somewhat
perplexed
the
Swede
,
as
falling
out
contrary
to
his
expectation
,
yet
altered
not
his
resolution
.
A
purpose
he
had
to
give
them
battell
,
and
though
the
misfortune
of
his
confederates
at
Nordlingen
,
fighting
against
the
Imperiall
Army
upon
the
like
disadvantage
,
A
Counsaile
of
war
called
.
and
common
reason
did
disswade
him
from
it
,
yet
all
this
could
not
change
his
determination
,
he
had
ingaged
himselfe
so
farre
by
his
faith
to
the
Crowne
of
Sweden
,
that
he
would
not
now
recede
one
title
from
the
resolve
.
Valour
is
most
apparant
when
the
Danger
is
imminent
,
either
an
honourable
grave
or
glorious
conquest
,
were
the
things
he
aimed
at
;
neither
of
these
were
in
his
owne
election
,
and
he
referred
him selfe
to
the
fortune
of
the
day
for
either
.
And
yet
,
as
his
great
heart
could
not
entertaine
timidity
,
so
his
fore-casting
spirit
avoyded
temerity
,
hee
would
not
presume
upon
his
owne
wisedome
,
though
the
commands
of
a
Generall
bee
not
to
be
controverted
by
the
inferiour
Officers
,
but
called
first
a
counsaile
of
Warre
,
where
he
discovered
the
state
of
his
owne
army
,
and
conjectured
at
that
of
the
enemy
,
whose
often
avoydings
and
tergiuersations
from
proffered
Battell
,
were
tokens
,
sayd
he
of
timerous
soules
,
or
weake
bodies
,
unable
to
grapple
with
his
forces
,
and
the
covnsaile
,
as
one
man
crying
out
,
Let
us
goe
on
,
and
assault
them
in
their
trenches
,
he
put
his
project
into
practice
.
One
impediment
there
was
,
which
might
have
stopped
him
in
his
speedy
March
,
if
it
had
not
beene
remooved
,
a
narrow
way
at
Fresdorpe
,
through
which
the
Army
and
the
luggage
must
necessarily
passe
,
and
that
guarded
too
by
some
Imperiall
companies
:
The
enemy
was
not
so
terrible
as
the
streightnesse
of
the
way
,
for
he
beate
the
guard
away
immediately
upon
his
first
arrivall
,
and
cleared
it
of
them
,
but
both
the
sides
of
it
being
Moorasse
,
The
passage
at
Fresdorpe
eleared
.
he
was
constrained
to
guard
it
from
the
Sunne-setting

of
October
,
new

with
one
thousand
Musquetiers
under
the
leading
of
Colonell
Gunne
and
two
Regiments
of
Horse
,
whilst
the
maine
body
of
his
Army
was
passed
through
it
,
till
about
noone
the
next
day
ensuing
.
That
day
he
appeared
in
the
view
of
the
Imperiall
and
Saxon
armies
,
and
his
appearance
caused
them
to
change
their
postures
,
the
Intantry
being
drawne
up
to
the
Hill
toppe
,
neare
the
Artillery
,
and
their
Cavallary
placed
on
both
sides
of
it
,
the
out
most
skirt
of
it
being
fortified
with
the
Waggons
.
Bannier
ordered
his
army
for
assault
accordingly
,
the
forme
whereof
,
may
be
evidently
seene
in
the
Map
annexed
,
and
leaving
the
avantguard
of
his
right
wing
,
The

of

and

,
under
the

:
he
himselfe
followed
in
person
to
charge
the
left
wing
of
the
Imperiall
and
Saxon
armies
with
his
battalia
,
consisting
of
eight
Brigads
,
Pikes
,
and
Musquetiers
,
whilst
the
left
Wing
of
his
Army
,
under
the
commands
of
the
Field-marshall
Lesle
,
and
Stalhans
wheeled
about
through
the
Forrest
,
to
assault
the
right
wing
of
the
enemy
.
Both
parts
prepared
to
fight
,
their
souldiers
were
made
discernable
to
the
eare
and
eye
of
their
friends
and
foes
by
private

.
The
Swedes
word
of
Battell
being
,
The

joyne

God
with

,
and
the
Imperialls
and
Saxons
God
willing
,
and
severall
colours
,
as
remonstrances
under
whom
they
fought
;
the
Swedes
wearing
greene
Ribbands
about
their
armes
,
and
the
Saxons
white
Ribbands
,
some
with
hand-kerchtrs
upon
their
hats
.
The
Swedish
Cavallery
was
lyned
with
Musquetiers
,
and
that
devise
was
of
no
small
effect
to
the
obtaining
of
the
victory
.
Gun
came
on
bravely
,
and
with
his
avantguard
maintained
the
battell
in
an
equall
balance
by
the
space
of
two
houres
,
beating
off
eight
severall
charges
made
upon
him
by
the
enemy
in
that
short
space
,
and
then
himselfe
wound
,
and
his
Troopes
wearied
began
to
recoyle
,
to
the
great
joy
of
the
Saxons
,
who
assured
themselues
instantly
of
Victory
,
and
proclaimed
it
by
two
Trumpets
,
through
the
Armie
;
But
the
fight
was
as
yet
scarce
begunne
;
The
Generall
Banniere
,
The
order
of
the
fight
.
having
placed
his
Canon
with
all
advantages
to
play
upon
the
Campe
,
came
in
to
the
rescue
of
his
weary
avant-Guard
,
with
his
Brigades
,
&
after
some
charges
given
,
began
to
make
them
breake
their
rancks
,
the
Field-Marshall
Lese
and
Stalhans
,
having
brought
about
the
left
wing
through
the
Forrest
in
the
meane
time
,
Long
doubtfull
.
and
therewith
at
the
same
time
so
charging
Hatzfeldt
,
who
led
the
right
wing
of
the
Saxon
Armie
,
that
the
scale
began
to
turne
,
and
the
silver
wings
of
Victory
might
be
discerned
to
hover
over
the
Swedish
Army
.
It
was
hard
fought
on
both
sides
,
the
Elector
of
Saxony
using
all
the
Rhetorick
hee
could
to
encourage
his
Souldiers
,
with
remembrance
of
the
condition
of
those
men
,
against
whom
they
fought
,
and
the
faire
advantages
,
which
they
had
gotten
in
his
short
time
of
Battell
;
the
Ordnance
on
both
sides
,
vomiting
out
their
fiery
bullets
,
whilest
the
Generalls
were
speaking
and
the
swords
of
the
Military
men
,
being
brandished
as
nimbly
as
the
Commanders
words
.
By
this
a
Swedish
Reserve
of
4.
Brigades
,
under
the
Command
of
the
Generall
Major
Verdun
,
The
victory
falleth
to
the
Swedes
.
which
served
as
the
Arneri
gnard
to
the
left
wing
,
was
joyned
to
the
Rield-Marshall
Lesle
,
and
Stalhans
,
and
their
apparition
proved
so
formidable
to
the
Saxons
,
which
feared
a
continuail
sipply
of
fresh
enemies
,
that
they
betook
themselves
insta
tly
to
a
consused
flight
,
though
the
Elector
with
teares
,
in
vaine
disswaded
them
from
it
,
&
that
confusion
concluded
the
battell
;
almost
the
whole
Camp
being
therby
exposed
to
the
fury
of
the
Swedes
,
to
be
put
to
the
sword
,
or
mercy
,
in
sparing
of
life
,
and
making
them
Prisoners
of
warre
.
It
was
a
glorious
victory
,
but
purchased
deerely
with
the
lives
of
1000
Swedes
,
The
victory
was
got
with
blood
.
and
up
wards
,
amongst
which
were
many
men
well
deserving

but
some
offpeciall

The
Colonelle
Crakaw
,
Linse
,
and
Gun
were
wounded
,
but
not
mortally
,
and
either
the
joyfull
newes
of
victory
made
them
lesse
sensible
of
their
wounds
then
they
should
have
beene
otherwise
,
or
they
were
not
wounded
dangerously
.
The
Sweedish
Generalls
escaped
shot-free
,
but
2
of
the
Imperialls
chiefe
Commanders
were
slaine
out-right
.
The

The

prosecution

The
present
losse
,
was
it
not
expressed
particularly
,
as
it
is
,
could
not
be
accounted
lesse
then
6
whole

The
principall
Check
fell
upon

Insantry
,
the
horsmen
following
the
Example
of
the
Elector
(
who
seeing

The

spurred
away
to
Werben
,
accompanied
onely
with
50
Cavalieres
,
and
there
passing
the

made
haste
towards
Wittenberg
)
to
save
themselues
by
flight
,
and
yet
slaughter
overtooke
them
as
they
were
flying
:
Stalhanse
was
sent
to
pursue
them
with
6000
horse
,
and
he
returned
not
from
execution
till
3
dayes
after
,
and
then
naving
left
the
way
strewed
with
dead
Corps
from
Witstocke
,
even
to
Werben
(
almost
as
many
being
slaine
upon
the
way
of
the
flight
,
as
upon
the
place
of
battell
)
he
came
backe
to
the
Campe
with
1500
prisoners
,
and
30
Coronets
,
and
5
Ensignes
of
Dragoones
,
which
being
added
to
the
Ensignes
gamed

wherein
he
used
to

the

to
the
enuching
not

of

.
Three
dayes
were
spent
by
the
Swede
after
hisvictory
,
partly
in
piety
,
partly
in
polity
,
yet
piety
proceeded
,
and
polity
followedas
the
Hand-maid
.
First
hee
assembled
his
companies
to
give
thankes
to
him
,
who
had
covered
their
heads
in
the
day
of
battell
,
Thanksgiving
for
the
victory
and
blessed
the
enterprize
with
so
good
and
great
successe
,
singing
te
Deum
after
their
manner
,
and
supplying
the
want
of
Organs
,
&
other
Church
musicke
,
with
Drums
,
Fifes
,
Trumpets
,
Canonadoes
and
Musqutadoes
intermingled
,
not
to
the
disturbing
of
the
fouldiers
devotion
,
but
the
raysing
of
their
spirits
,
who
reioyced
that
they
had
now
oportunity
to
spend
their
powder
in
triumph
,
not
in
an
uncertaine
fight
against
the
enemy
.
Thanksgiving
done
,
The
dead
buryed
.
hee
tooke
order
for
the
buriall
of
the
dead
,
as
well
for
foes
as
friends
,
a
worke
of
difficultie
,
their
bodies
being
scattered
in
sundry
places
,
in
great
multitudes
,
and
the
Boores
,
which
should
have
assisted
to
their
interment
,
being
fled
for
feare
,
not
knowing
how
either
party
,
if
he
proved
victor
,
might
deale
with
them
;
yet
this
taske
was
performed
too
.
And
then
the
Generall
taking
a
view
of
his
Army
,
not
so
much
decreased
in
number
by
the
fight
,
as
increased
by
thousands
of
prisoners
,
who
offered
themselves
to
his
service
he
found
1500
yet
which
were
not
come
in
to
his
party
,
amongst
which
were
170
Officers
,
And
a
new
muster
made
of
the
Army
,
with
some
expressions
of
Court-ship
to
the
prisoners
.
and
146
women
of

partly
in

partly
for
the

moved
him

he
to
sweeten
their

was
then
in

possession
,
and
Maracinies
in
the
hands
of

as
a

to
the
Queen

afterwards
marched
first
with
his
Armie
against
the
Fort
at
Werben
,
intending
to
go
forward
,

first
to
have
all
safe
behinde

And
this
Fort
he
took
October

forcing
the
Garrison
to
submit
upon

.
And
after
having
fortified
it
for
the
Crowne
of

,
drew
his
Army
over
the
Elve
,
on

side
towards
Halberstadt
:
amusing
for
a
short
time
,
the
Saxons

,
sometimes
seeming
to
looke
towards

if

Sometimes
towards
the
Earldome
of

,
alwayes
intending
to
goe
to
Misuda

Thuringen
,
which
in
fine
he
did
,
and
thither
though

thereabouts
,
were
found
,
and
to
forme
a
new
one
,
required
more
time
for
preparing
new
Artillery
,
raising
new
men
and
money
,
and
this
could
not
be
done
neither
without
much
regret
and
heart-burning
of
his
subjects
,
to
feele
the
burthens
of
new
impositions
,
and
weakning
of
Some
his

,
being
constrained
to
take
downe
the
Ordnance
,
which
was
appoynted
for
the
defence
of
his
Cityes
,
and
to
bring
them
into
the
field
.
The
last
of
these
were
complained
of
by
the
Lipsickers
,
and
the
first
had
like
to
have
made
a
mutiny
amongst
the

A

written
to
the
Elector
of

by
〈◊〉
M.
of

declaring
estate
of
the
Empire
.
to
which
I
have
not
spared
to
contribute
al
means
possible
;
yet
because
I
know
the
strength
of
the
Swedes
which
are
already
in
the
Empire
,
is
concealed
from
you
,
&
extenuated
too
much
by
some
neare
your
highnes
.
I
shall
succinctly
describe
unto
you
the
estate
of
their
affaires
in
Almaigne
,
that
the
truth
being
knowne
,
some
better
way
may
be
devised
for
the
publicke
good
,
than
by
continuation
of
this
Warre
.
The
Swedes
had
an
Army
lately
in
Pomerania
,
under
the
Field-Marshall
Wrangel
,
which
being
re-enforced
with
600
lately
come
out
of
Sweden
,
having
possessed
themselves
of
Gartz
&
Swedt
,
2
principal
passages
upon
the
Oder
,
subjected
the
whole
Vetter-marke
,
and
pillaged
Barlin
,
have
now
,
as
it
is
reported
,
a
dangerous
designe
up
on
Silesia
.
I
neede
not
speake
of
the
other
army
under
Banniere
,
the
puissance
thereof
is
too
fresh
,
and
of
bleeding
memory
.
But
I
would
not
have
your
excellency
ignorant
,
that
besides
their
forces
in
open
field
,
the
Swedes
have
yet
in
garrison
,
neare
20000
men
,
in
those
places
which
they
hold
:
In
the
higher
Germany
they
hold
only
the
Fort
of
Benefeldt
,
and
their
lye
1000
men
.
For
the
lower
Germ.
they
have
in
Pomerania
,
Colberg
,
Stalsundt
,
the
Isle
of
Rugen
,
Stetin
,
and
Griffenhagen
,
in
the
Dukedom
of
Mekelberg
,
Wismar
,
which
is
the
best
port
of
the
Baltike
sea
and
Demitz
upon
the
Elve
,
which
City
alone
they
raise
every
yeare
,
50000
Rix-dallers
for
custome
.
Rostock
stands
in
neatrelity
by
consent
of
both
partyes
,
but
in
the
March
they
have
Havelsberg
,
Werben
,
Brandenberg
,
Ratenaw
,
Tangermund
,
&
the
2
famous
passages
of
Ferberlin
and
Crenis
,
all
which
,
they
have
upon
a
suddaine
snatched
out
of
the
hands
of
your
highnes
,
&
Allies
in
the
Dutch
Lunenberg
,
they
hold
the
Cities
Luneburg
,
Winsen
,
&
Vltzen
,
in
Brunswick-land
,
and
upon
the
Weser
,
the
Forts
Newburg
&
Stoltenaw
,
with
the
Cities
of
Minden
,
and
Hamellen
;
in
Westphalia
,
upon
the
River
of
Ems
,
the
Cities
of
Meppen
,
&
Osnabrugge
,
with
the
Fort
of
Petersburg
,
&
many
other
places
of
this
side
of
Ems
yet
in
possession
of
the
Lantgrave
their
friend
&
Alley
.
To
which
if
you
please
to
ad
the
succours
of
forraign
Princes
&
estates
,
who
have
already
declared
themselves
their
confederates
,
&
of
others
who
are
about
to
make
their
like
league
with
them
(
his
Maiesty
of
great
Britt
,
being
reported
to
have
recalled
Lesle
&
Redwin
his
subjects
to
no
other
end
than
the
recovery
of
the
Palatinates
by
warre
)
they
will
appeare
no
despicable
enemy
.
I
neede
not
speak
what
small
hope
of
succours
you
can
expect
from
G.
D.
of
Huneburg
or
the
Elector
of
Brandenburg
,
Caesar
having
testified
,
that
he
knowe
th
not
whether
they
be
his
friends
or
enemies
,
I
shal
conclude
briefly
,
there
will
not
be
found
in
all
Silesia
,
Bohemia
,
Austria
,
Franconia
,
and
Swaben
,
one
Imperiall
souldier
to
assist
you
,
if
you
should
receive
a
new
defeate
,
therefore
I
beseech
you
,
rather
to
labour
for
a
settled
peace
,
than
a
continued
War
,
that
so
these
miseries
,
which
have
befalne
the
Empire
by
this
permitious
warre
,
may
be
removed
,
Germany
may
againe
reiovce
to
see
their
former
tranquillity
,
the
Princes
and
estates
of
the
Empire
may
be
maintained
in
their
rights
and
priviledges
,
and
no
misprision
(
as
at
this
present
is
)
laid
upon
the
Electoral
dignity
.
It
was
good
advice
,
but
the
Elector
desired
not
his
Counsell
but
present
assistance
,
nor
were
the
Swedes
to
be
dealt
withall
by
perswasions
,
the
Spanish
agent
had
before
offered
them
250000
Rix-dollers
to
depart
the
Empire
,
but
they
refused
it
,
&
resolve
to
continue
the
warre
,
what
condition
soever
shal
be
offered
them
,
unlesse
all
their
Allies
,
the
Princes
of
the
Empire
,
the
neighboring
estates
,
&
the
Christian
K.
particularly
,
might
be
included
in
the
treaty
with
whom
they
had
made
an
especial
offensive
&
defensive
league
,
&
who
had
already
received
as
much
benefit
by
their
late
victory
,
as
themselves
had
gotten
glory
;
that
being
supposed
one
meanes
to
recall
the
Imperiall
armies
from
theinvasion
of
France
,
whither
they
were
advanced
by
the
way
of

This
project
was
intended
further
,
then
the
gaining
onely
of
the
Cardinall
,
who
might
promote
the
French
affaires
in
the
Consistory
,
and
could
doe
no
more
,
the
Duke
of
Savoyes
Armes
in
the
field
,
joyned
with
Criqui
,
and
the
Parmesan
;
were
more
to
be
suspected
,
then
the
Cardinall
of
Savoyes
words
in
the
Counsell
,
and
the
maine
aime
of
the
devise
was
to
take
off
the
Duke
by
the
meanes
of
his
brother
the
Cardinall
,
The
Spanish
polity
in
gaining
the
Cardinall
.
but
the
Spanish
Artillery
,
could
not
reach
so
farre
,
the
shaft
fell
some
bowes
short
,
the
Embassadour
of
Savoy
then
at
Rome
,
received
the
Secretary
and
Auditour
into
his
house
,
though
the
Cardinall
had
casheered
them
,
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
himselfe
,
with
as
much
zeale
as
ever
,
doth
yet
prosecute
the
warre
in
Italy
,
neither
sparing
his
owne
personall
paines
,
as
being
Generallissimo
of
the
confederate
Armies
,
nor
purse
in
making
necessary
provisions
of
warre
,
to
secure
his
owne
men
,
and
offend
the
enemy
.
Had
the
Cardinall
stood
firme
to
France
,
yet
his
negotiation
in
the
consistory
could
not
have
proved
so
prejudicious
to
the
Imperiall
and
Spanish
States
,
as
the
mutiny
of
some
malecontents
,
and
the
appearance
of
the
Galleys
of
Bizerta
(
a
port
towne
of
the
Kingdome
of
Tunis
)
upon
the
coast
of
Italy
,
were
formidable
to
the
Catholike
Kings
subjects
in
his
Kingdome
of

upon

imprisoned
the
Ensigne
,
with
his
Serjeant

,

casheerd

The
Duke
conceiving
that
the

sentence
against
those
officers
of
his
guard
,
trencht
on
his
honour
,
&
his
esteeme
of
the
people
might
suffer
some
prejudice
,
if
he
did
not
beare
up
and
carry
himselfe
like
a
Grandee
,
immediately
thereupon
,
provided
his
Caroch
to
be
drawne
with
6
Horses
,
and
rode
in
the
state
of
a
Viceroy
through
the
streets
of
Naples
,
to
the
discontent
of
the
Count
,
(
that
being
the
proper
garbe
of
the
prorex
and
permitted
to
no
other
)
who
first
sent
his
monitory
letters
to
the
Duke
,
forbidding
him
to
appeare
so
magnificently
,
and
those
not
prevailing
,
commanded
him
immediately
to
depart
the
Kingdome
,
and
returne
to
Spaine
.
His
order
was
obeyed
by
the
Duke
,
whose
dismission
wrought
severally
on
the
fancies
of
the
Friends
and
Allies
of
the
young
Princesse
of
Stigliano
lately
married
to
the
Spanish
Duke
:
each
of
them
according
to
the
capacity
of
their
judgements
,
projecting
how
to
be
avenged
of
the
Viceroy
.
The
old
Princesse
,
Mother

Dutchesse
,
in
melancholy
betooke
her
to

bequeathed
all

Iewells
,
after

decease
,
to
the
Church
of

drew
many

the
Commons
(
already
offended
with
the
Count
,
for
his

they
supposed
to
be
somewhat
tyrannicall
,

the
heavy
impositions
,
which
by
reason
of
the
present
occasion
,
were
not

but
received
this
onely
summary
answer
from
his
Majesty
,
that
he
was
ignorant
of
the
marriage
of
the
Princesse
with
the
Duke
:
and
that
the

in

with

soone
after

the
Marquesse

with

to

Before
the
returne
of
the
Kings
answer
,
the
Mutineers
grew
cold
,
laid
downe
their
Armes
,
and
returned
to
their
severall
dwellings
,
to
the
joy
of
the
Neapolitane
Court
,
as
being
past
feare
of
that
seditious
commotion
.
The
Pyrats
were
the
onely
people
they
feared
,
The
Galleys
of
Bizerta
were
seconded
with
an
accreut
from
Argiers
,
and
first
roaving
about
the
coasts
of
Calabria
,
they
landed
at
the
Cape
of
Palinudo
a
great
number
of
Turks
,
which
ransacked
the
Country
adjacent
,
and
carrying
away
700.
Christians
prisoners
,
returned
to
their
Ships
,
fearing
least
the
Viceroy
,
who
was
mustering
of
his
Forces
to
secure
the
Maritine
Townes
,
should
come
upon
them
with
his
Army
,
and
surprize
them
:
But
their
going
from
land
,
The
Gallyes
of
Bizerta
cause
great
feare
in
the
Kingdome
of
Naples
.
and
launching
could
not
remove
the
feare
of
the
people
,
the
cloud
still
hovered
about
the
Sea-coasts
,
and
where
it
might
fall
was
uncertaine
;
The
Mart
at
Messina
was
drawing
on
,
the
customes
wherof
by
the
frequent
recourse
of
Merchants
thither
,
and
the
great
trade
,
were
of
no
small
consequence
,
the
Viceroy
therefore
sent
in
the
end
of
Iuly
to
the
Great
Master
of
Malta
for
his
Galleys
,
for
the
securing
of
the
Sea-coasts
of
Naples
and
Sicilie
against
the
incursions
of
the
Turks
during
the
time
of
the
Fayre
.
But
before
the
Maltezan
Gallyes
could
be
dispatched
,
the
Turkish
Pyrats
understanding
that
the
Prince
of
Bisignano
was
sent
by
the
Viceroy
,
with
some
Cavalliers
and
many
Foote-souldiers
to
Putzoli
and
Pausilippo
,
to
defend
the
sea-townes
thereabouts
,
hoysed
sayle
,
and
with
10
Gallyes
,
and
2
Brigantines
rode
before
Vico
,
a
towne
just
opposite
to
Naples
,
on
the
other
side
of
the
Baye
,
and
began
to
land
some
of
their
Rovers
,
to
the
great
affrightment
of
the
inhabitants
,
which
instantly
left
the
towne
and
their
goods
,
fled
to
the
Mountaines
to
save
their
persons
,
and
had
beene
ransacked
by
the
Mahometans

An
excellent
and
valiant
act
of
an
English
Merchant

had
not
an
unexpected
accident
fallen
in

for
their
succour
.
An
English
Marchant
comming
from
Sicilie
loaden
with
powder
,
and
other
Ammunition
having
past
the
Ilands
of
Vulcan
was
discovered
by
the
Turks
,
who
presently
deferring
their
former
designe
,
though
meaning
to
prosecute
it
afterwards
,
haled
the
Marchant
,
who
perceiving
the
condition
of

whom
he
was

He
is
reported
by

Seamen

to
be

Infidells
and
robbers
,
prepared
to
fight
,
and
was
quickly
rounded
with
the
Turkish
Gallyes
.
The
fight
was
fore
for
the
time
,
50
Canons
shot
in
a
small
space
were
discharged
by
our
brave
country

,
the
last
of
which

made
the
rest
retire
,
to
the
glory
of
the
English
Master
,
who
wrought
out
his
owne
way
with
shot
and
powder
,
and
cleared
the
coast
thereabouts
,
of
that
enemy
,
deserving

the
Spanish
Viceroy

he
found

wrought
effectually
with

inhabitants
of

Country
:
they
returned
quickly
upon
the
credit
given
to
his

,
to
their
several
dwellings
.
But
the
strong
Port
of
Morgnes
,
or

,
stood
in
defiance
of
his
power
,
and
shewed
all
testimonies
of
hostility
with
him
.
The
weather
then
was
calme
,
and
the
Navy
could
not
put
forth
to

and
the
Count
partly
to
avoid

to

place
,
before
any
other
urgent
occasion
might
call
him
thence
,
or

cessation
of

might
serve
the

to
undertake

expedition

,
(

)
which
at
that
present
were
in
the
Bay

,
in
the
Signiorie
of
Genoa
,
apprehending
that
the
still
face
of
Neptune
would
bee
favourable
to
their
Galleys
,
which
moved
better
upon
the
water
by
the
strength
of
the
Oares
,
then
the
breath
of
winde
,
the
next
day
appeared
neere
the
French
Fleete
,
and
began
with
some
volees
of
Canon-shot
to
play
upon
the
French
Gallions
riding
at
anchor
neere
Menton
.
This
unexpected
offer
of
combat
altered
the

then
to

fights
betwixt
the
French
and
Spanish
Fleets
.
An
unexpected
helpe
came
in
this
extremity
,
some
French
Galleyes
taking
advantage
of
the
calme
,
made
haste
from
Ville-Franche
,
a
Sea-towne
in
Liguria
,
but
under
the
command
of
the
Duke
of
Savoy
,
to
the
French
Armado
,
carried
out
the
Admirals
Gallion
,
who
having
got
sea-rome
,
and
attended
still
with
these
new-come
friends
,
spread
all
his
sailes
to
recover
the
little
winde
that
then
blew
,
and
in
fine
,
having
got
the
advantage
of
a
breathing
ayre
,
made
up
to
the
Spanish
Galleyes
,
and
discharged
upon
them
so
furiously
,
that
one
of
three
,
which
had
gotten
neerest
the
French
Navy
,
was
so
shattered
,
that
her
two
other
attendants
were
constrained
to
relinquish
their
intended
fight
with
the
French
men
in
the
Bay
,
and
to
wait
upon
their
companion
,
which
was
onely
busied
in
discharging
her
burden
of
Sea-men
and
Souldiers
,
into
the
other
bottomes
,
fearing
lest
they
should
perish
with
the
vessell
.
And
now
the
fight
began
betwixt
the
two
Navies
,
The
first
.
those
in
the
Baye
,
though
unable
to
stirre
,
were
not
altogether
unserviceable
to
their
confederates
abroad
at
Sea
;
the
Spanish
Fleete
was
betwixt
both
,
and
did
both
gall
them
both
,
and
was
galled
on
both
sides
.
Three
hours
the
combate
lasted
doubtfull
,
till
at
the
last
the
Patron
of
Florence
a
galley
of
1200
tunne
,
being
sunke
by
the
French
Artillery
,
the
Spanish
Navy
in
an
orderly
retreat
,
made
way
towards
Genoa
,
the
French
by
reason
they
wanted
those
Daedalian
wings
,
oares
,
being
for
the
present
unable
to
pursue
them
.
The
Spanish
losse
,
was
not
great
by
this
battell
,
nor
the
French
atchievements
of
much
consequence
,
yet
the
newes
thereof
being
speedily
brought
to
Naples
,
the
Viceroy
,
sent
the
Prince
D'Ascoli
to
fortine
Gaeta
,
and
Baia
,
who
at
the
last
place
,
because
it
might
the
more
easily
command
the
Sea
,
levelled
a
great
hill
,
which
interposed
it selfe
betwixt
the
City
,
and
the
sait
water
,
and
with
the
earth
choaked
up
the
Harbour
called
Mari-Morto
,
that
so
he
might
hinder
the
French
from
comming
thither
.
And
for
the
security
of
the
other
coasts
built
sundry
Forts
from
the
Baye
of
Saint
Mary
Magdalene
,
till
the
Tower
of
the
Annuntiate
,
and
the
Castell
à
Mare
.
Two
houres
after
the
fight
neere
Monaco
was
ended
,
a
faire
gale
of
wind
blew
from
West-South-West
,
and
then
the
French
hoysed
up
sayles
to
follow
the
Duke
of
Ferandina
,
Admirall
of
the
Spanish
Gallyes
,
who
rowed
by
the
shoare
towards
Genoa
,
often
sounding
for
feare
of
splitting
the
crazed
vessels
.
Towards
evening
,
the
wind
fell
,
and
the
Spanish
Gallyes
ancred
at
Saint
Rheme
,
perceiving
the
French
Fleete
,
which
was
seven
leagues
from
them
,
was
not
able
to
reach
them
for
lacke
of
wind
;
A
councell
was
then
held
by
the
Earle
,
The
second
.
the
Archbishop
,
and
the
chiefe
Captaines
what
was
to
be
done
;
they
considered
,
that
they
were
unable
to
bring
up
the
whole
Navy
against
the
enemy
,
some
part
of
the
Fleete
being
carried
backward
towards
Monaco
by
violence
of
the
current
,
yet
unwilling
to
give
the
Spanish
Seamen
time
to
breath
,
they
concluded
to
make
up
to
them
with
24
Gallyes
,
which
they
had
in
the
Navy
,
from
Marselles
,
and
Villa-Franca
,
and
with
those
to
play
with
them
,
whilest
the
rest
of
the
Fleete
might
conveniently
come
in
to
give
them
battell
.
It
was
speedily
put
in
practise
,
and
their
intent
as
soone
discovered
by
the
Spanish
Generall
,
who
to
welcome
the
French
,
placed
some
of
his
bigger
Gallyes
behinding
the
Cape
de
Bordiguere
,
out
of
the
sight
of
the
French-men
,
intending
by
force
of
his
oares
to
overrunne
some
of
their
smaller
vessels
,
and
so
facilitate
his
victory
.
But
the
devise
tooke
not
,
the
Alarme
was
given
to
the
whole
French
Fleete
too
suddenly
,
and
at
his
first
appearance
,
they
so
saluted
him
with
their
shot
,
that
they
severed
his
Gallyes
,
the
Captaine
of
Sicilie
being
forced
to
take
the
Baye
of
Savona
for
safeguard
,
and
the
Royall
of
Spaine
,
in
danger
to
have
beene
surprised
,
had
not
the
brawne
of
the
Rowers
beene
better
,
then
the
force
of
the
Souldiers
and
Marriners
.
This
victorie
,
though
it
was
not
very
honourable
,
as
being
got
without
much
opposition
,
was
of
good
consequence
to
the
French
.
The
Levant
was
cleered
of
their
enemies
,
and
the
Navy
was
as
still
and
quiet
as
the
becalmed
sea
,
till
the
27.
of
September
,

,
at
which
time
14.
of
the
best
ships
,
were
commanded
to
attend
the
enemy
,
who
at
that
time
lay
in
Vado
,
with
35.
Gallyes
.
That
night
they
loosed
from

where
they
had
rode
at

,

launching
into
the
maine
,
and
the
other
3.
making
up
towards
the
Vay
,
to
discover
the
posture
of
the
enemy
.
These
3
were
the
Reere-Admirall
of
the
Squadron
of
Bretaigne
commanded
by
Poincy
,
the
Vice-Admirall
of
the
Squadron
of
Gwienne
commanded
by
Mantye
,
and
the
Lewis
of
Saint
Iohn
de

commanded
by
Gyron
.
The
sentinell
upon
the
tower
of
Genoa
,
perceived
their
sayles
,
and
to
give
a
signall
to
the
Gallyes
,
kindled
3
fires
,
and
discharged
3
severall
Canonadoes
.
The
Gallyes
mistaking
the
signall
,
prepared
not
to
fight
,
but
flye
,
thinking
that
the
whole
power
of
the
French
Navy
,
was
comming
upon
them
,
and
flye
they
did
so
confusedly
to
the
very
walls
of
Savona
,
to
save
themselves
,
and
their
shipping
under
the
protection
of
that
Canon
,
that
the
French
overreached
some
of
the
slowest
ships
with
their
Ordnance
,
and
slew
above
300
men
.

The

The

put
the

they
demolished

But
then
the

it
was
enough
for
them
to
keep
,
what
they
had
gotten
,
no

understanding
the
Spanish

to
prevent

expected
that

set

then
because
the
whole
territory
thereabouts
was
wasted
by
the
pressure
of
his
and
the
Spanish
Armies
,
himselfe
resolved
to
take
up
his
Quarter
in
the
Lomeline
by
Candy
,
neer
the
Fort
of

,
and
the
Spanish
Commander
for

,
removed

into
the
centre
of

:
all
the
Country
thereabouts
,
to

,
that
part
from

on

sides

(

excepted
whether

)
all
the

,
The

to

.
and
the
river
of

,
till
within
foure
leagues
of
Milan
,
and
all
the
high
Country
betwixt
Ticino
and
the
River
of
Ada
,
being
already
forrag'd
by
the
means
of
this
warre
,
which
like
a
Basiliske
burnt
up
the
grasse
and
corne
where
it
crawled
,
and
like
an
Army
of
Locusts
,
devoured
all
the
fruit
of
the
earth
.
Three
severall
inducements
moved
the
Duke
of
Savoy
to
entrench
himselfe
in
the
Lomeline
:
the
first
was
the
vicinitie
of
the
royall
Fort
of
Breme
,
which
was
built
by
him
,
at
that
place
,
The
royall
Fort
of
Breme
built
by
the
Duke
of
Savoy
where
the
river
of
Sesia
disgorgeth
himselfe
into
Poe
,
betwixt
Casall
and
Valentia
,
and
the
security
he
received
thereby
for
his
Army
,
the
Fort
commanding
both
the
Rivers
generally
,
and
the
Poe
particularly
,
and
more
especially
;
and
so
yeelding
the
Army
a
liberty
of
free
commerce
upon
both
the
streames
,
maugre
the
forces
of
the
enemy
,
the
second
was
to
hinder
the
inroades
of
the
Spaniards
upon
the
Villages
and
Frontier
Townes
of
Piemont
,
where
they
had
formerly
practised
all
manner
of
hostility
,
burning
the
Townes
,
putting
to
the
sword
both
old
and
yong
,
women
and
infants
,
especially
at
Gatinara
,
where
neither
the
professed
orders
of
religion
,
nor
the
Sanctuaries
could
secure
such
as
retired
to
those
places
of
refuge
,
from
the
enemies
fury
;
and
lastly
the
vicinity
of
Piemont
,
from
whence
hee
might
speedily
and
conveniently
be
relieved
with
men
and
victuals
upon
all
occasions
.
So
now
the
French
and
Savoyards
Armies
were
rather
imployed
in
a
defensive
then
offensive
warre
.
The
Caesarian
and
Spanish
forces
perceiving
how
things
stood
,
omitted
no
opportunity
,
nor
left
any
stone
unmoved
which
might
serve
to
advance
their
designes
.
A
treasonable
purpose
upon
Villa-Franca
discovered
and
prevented
.
It
was
not
questioned
by
the
enemy
,
whether
was
more
lawfull
,
power
or
policy
,
open
warre
,
or
private
practises
to
attaine
their
ends
.
Both
were
practised
,
and
the
last
though
most
dishonourable
,
was
not
refused
.
yet
the
issue
was
fatall
to
the
instrument
,
and
no
way
advantagious
to
the
abetters
or
approvers
.
A
male-contented
traiterous
heart
,
forgetting
the
duty
and
loyaltie
which
he
ought
his
naturall
Lord
,
and
seduced
by
the
golden
promises
of
the
Spanish
Generall
,
undertooke
to
deliver
him
Villa
Francha
,
a
Sea
port
,
where
there
stands
a
Towne
and
Castle
appertaining
to
his
highnesse
of
Savoy
,
in
his
Estate
of
Nissa
,
chalked
him
out
the
way
by
which
his
forces
might
come
privately
and
without
suspition
,
if
discovered
,
and
promised
an
easie
admittance
into
the
Towne
and
Citadell
.
But
his
treason
being
discovered
,
and
confessed
by
himselfe
upon
the
wracke
,
the
Marquesse
of
Bagnasck
,
Governour
of
that
state
,
assisted
with
some
French
Souldiers
,
made
good
the
passage
first
to
prevent
the
dangerous
consequences
of
that
enterprise
,
and
afterwards
by
a
Court
of
justice
,
put
the
perfidious
traytour
to
a
deserved
shamefull
death
.
Hee
was
a
gangrenated
member
of
the
Common-wealth
,
and
providence
called
upon
lustice
to
use
her
sword
for
his
rescission
,
who
otherwise
had
exposed
the
whole
body
to
putrifaction
.
It
is
counted
a
master-piece
in
the
Science
of
Defence
,
to
beate
another
at
his
owne
weapon
,
and
in
warre
,
to
blow
up
the
Miner
by
his
owne
worke
,
or
to
make
use
of
a
like
project
or
stratagem
,
to
the
ruine
of
the
first
deviser
.
The
Duke
of
Savoy
received
intelligence
in
the
Camp
of
the
Spanish
designe
,
and
posted
thence
to
Turin
,
to
give
order
for
the
defence
of
Nissa
,
and
the
territory
about
,
The
Garison
of
Spaniards
in
Crevecaeur
driven
out
,
and
no
blow
given
.
where
being
informed
of
the
arrivall
of
the
French
Fleete
,
and
conjecturing
by
probable
arguments
,
that
the
state
of
his
Sea-townes
was
now
secure
,
hee
returned
with
as
much
speed
to
the
Campe
at
Candie
,
for
performance
of
his
charge
,
having
stayed
but
two
dayes
onely
at
his
Courtat
Turin
.
In
the
time
of
his
neutrality
,
he
had
laid
a
Spanish
Garison
in
Crevecaeur
,
a
Towne
in
Gallia
Cisalpina
,
to
defend
it
against
all
forraigne
invadors
,
but
now
not
without
cause
jealous
of
the
presidiarie
Souldiers
fidelity
,
which
at
first
were
brought
in
to
prevent
a
feared
mischiefe
,
which
by
this
overture
was
taken
away
:
Hee
sent
to
the
Prince
of
Masseran
to
avoid
them
,
not
by
violence
,
but
subtiltie
,
unwilling
to
expose
his
Subjects
to
the
danger
of
intestine
broyles
,
if
it
might
be
effected
otherwise
.
The
project
was
not
trayterous
,
but
delusive
,
the
Spanish
Souldiers
were
not
amuzed
to
betray
any
of
their
Soveraignes
Forts
into
the
hand
of
a
stranger
,
but
to
relinquish
their
forcible
possession
,
and
resigne
it
quietly
to
the
right
owner
.
The
Prince
followed
the
Dukes
directions
,
and
whilest
one
part
of
the
Spanish
Garison
was
abroad
without
the
Castle
,
sporting
after
the
condition
of
mad
yong
blades
,
the
Prince
privately
brought
in
some
hundreds
of
his
men
,
whom
he
prepared
for
his
turne
,
who
caused
the
remainder
of
the
old
Garison
to
quit
the
place
with
a
still
silence
,
glad
that
they
could
keepe
in
their
tongues
when
noyse
and
clamour
might
have
beene
prejudiciall
to
their
lives
.
And
thus
the
Duke
of
Savoy
got
an
assurance
of
one
of
the
principall
Frontiers
of
his
dominion
.

the
Spanish
Generall

to

it
with

attempted
upon
the
Fort

,
and
failing
thereupon
the
first
adventure
,
unwilling
to

,
turned
toward
the
Fort

from

,
about
6
English
,
or
Italian

under
the
Dominion
of
the
Duke
of
Parma
,
and
tooke
it
by

the
space
of

dayes
.
The
Duke

then
gone
to
Mantua
to
crave

of
the
Mantoese
,
and
sent
to
the
state
of
Venice
,
to
desire
as
many
voluntary
auxiliaries
to
helpe
him
in
his
extremity
.
His
voyage
was
not
altogether
fruitlesse
;
the
Duke
of
Medina
by
mediation
of
friends
laid
down
armes
,
the
Mantuan
and
the
Venetians
granted
his
desire
,
and
at
his
returne
finding
Rotofredi
yeelded
to
the
Spaniards
,
&
Valditaro
surrendred
to
the
Prince
Don
Iohn
d'Auria
,
he
first
chopt
of
the
heads
off
both
the
Governours
,
and
then
divided
his
Army
into
two
bands
,
with
the
first
intending
to
avenge
himselfe
of
D'Auria
,
by
the
siege
of
Saint
Stephano
,
Valditaro
taken
by
Iohn
d'Auria
.
and
with
the
latter
to
recover
Rotofredi
(
if
it
were
possible
)
out
of
the
hand
of
the
enemy
,
the
place
being
the
Key
of
his
Country
,
and
fit
to
yeeld
no
small
succour
to
Piacenza
,
if
that
City
should
happen
to
be
attempted
by
the
enemy
.
Saint
Stephano
was
taken
in
by
his
forces
,
St.
Stephano
taken
by
the
Du.
of
Parma
.
and
the
Prince
d'Auria
,
and
the
Duke
stood
upon
equall
tearmes
,
in
point
of
martiall
honour
,
and
military
gaine
,
yet
not
without
an
hostile
emulation
,
and
to
reconcile
them
,
the
state
of
Genoa
sent
first
Alessandro
Santy
,
a
man
of
note
in
that
City
,
to
mediate
a
peace
,
the
Prince
being
a
Citizen
and
free
Burgesse
of
Genoa
,
and
he
not
prevailing
,
the
Pope
sent
out
a
Patent
Edict
,
thereby
commanding
the
Prince
to
restore
Valditaro
to
the
Duke
,
and
the
Duke
to
restore
Saint
Stephano
to
the
Prince
,
but
whether
their
swords
were
blunted
by
his
Keyes
,
it
is
yet
uncertaine
.
Rotofredi
was
well
manned
both
for
number
of
the
men
and
resolution
,
Rotofredi
rebesieged
by
the
Parmesans
.
and
though
there
wanted
not
remonstrances
of
difficulty
,
and
danger
,
to
disswade
the
Duke
from
besieging
it
,
yet
he
knowing
of
what
perillous
consequence
it
was
to
have
the
Spaniards
to
hold
it
,
resolved
to
beleaguer
it
,
and
if
possible
to
recover
it
.
The
Garison
within
spared
no
cost
to
fortifie
it
,
and
if
art
could
doe
it
,
to
make
it
impregnable

The
Army

resolved
to
relieve
it
,

(

to

knowing
it
to
be
a
pleasing
morsell
,
and
that
Leganez
would
not
spare
either
labour
or
cost
to
get
it
,
went
thither
in
person
,
and
not
concealing
the
danger
which
might

was
to

,
desired
the

to
stand
firme
,

to
follow
his
example
,
in
withstanding
the

,
assuring
them
that
succours
would
come
from

King
of

,
and
timely
too
to
deliver
both
that
Citie

gave
some
comfort

it
was

The
Spanish

knowing
the
strength
of
the
place
to
be
such
as
either
he
must
take
it
by
famine
,
or
not
at

how
easily
it
might
be
releeved
from
Parma
,
at

by
the
benefit
of
the
Poe
,
if
not
by

,
at

caused
a

no

be
brought
from
Parma
thither
by
land

,
and
in
the
space
of
five

sixe
weekes
,
reduced
it
to
such
want
,
that
though
the
Magazin
within
was
sufficiently
stored
with

yet
there
wanted
milles
to
grinde
it

and
the

get
no

what
the

the

.
And
these
two
fortunate
attempts
,
and
the
sacking
of
the
Fort
Ottobiano
soone
after
by
the
same
Montgalliard
,
meeting
together
,
mooved
the
Spanish
Generall
to
rise
with
a
good
part
of
his
Army
from
the
siege
,
and
to
leave
the
City
slenderly
blocked
up
,
taking

,
least
the
French

Parmesan
forces
should
make
a
fresh
in-roade

,
to
the
joy
of
the
Piacenzans
,
who
conceived
that
they
themselves
alone
,
were
then
able
to
hew
out
a
way
for
their
liberty
,
though
their
friends
abroad
should
not
come
in
to
assist
them
.
But
whether
their
hopes
,
grew
up
to
fruit
,
or
were
nipt
in
the
blossome
,
it
is
yet
unknowne
,
and
we
must
referre
it
to
our
next
discovery
.
Whether
it
was
the
jealousie
of
the
Genoois
,
a
people
suspicious
by
nature
,
and
more
by
reason
of
their
treasure
,
which
is
commonly
kept
with
feare
,
and
lost
with
sorrow
,
or
the
thing
endeavoured
truely
by
the
Spaniards
,
it
is
not
worth
the
dispute
,
yet
soone
after

the
Spanish
Fleete

.
Curriers
sent
from
Venice
and
other
parts
to
the
same
intent
,
certified
the
Genoeses
,
that
the
Generalls
by
Land
and
Sea
,
meant
to
surprize
the
City
,
that
Leganez
intended
to
lay
these
souldiers
in
the
towne
,
whilest
the
Admirall
having
made
all
sure
by
sea
,
might
secure
him
of
holding
it
,
to
the
use
of
the
Catholike
King
his
Master
,
and
the
state
taking
notice
first
of
the
Land-Armies
secret
march
thither-ward
,
and
afterwards
of
the
arrivall
of
the
Fleete
at
the
same
time
,
chained
up
their
Haven
,
mustered
up
their
Land-men
,
and
to
the
old
traine
band
,
added
49.
new
Companies
consisting
each
of
90.
souldiers
,
and
10.
Gentlemen
,
under
severall
Captaines
to
defend
the
City
,
from
the
violence
of
the
Spanish
Armadoes
,
which
they
concluded
,
must
speedily
be
effected
.
The
Admirall
was
the
first
,
and
onely
Commander
which
appeared
,
and
he
finding
the
Haven
barred
against
his
Gallyes
,
went
in
person
to
the
States
assembled
in
their
Towne-house
,
The
Spanish
Fleete
forbid
den
the
harbour
of
Genoa
desired
them
to
give
entrance
for
the
Fleete
into
the
Harbour
,
it
being
driven
thither
by
contrary
winds
,
and
if
forced
to
abide
at
Sea
in
danger
to
be
re-encountred
by
the
French
,
who
had
not
yet
left
the
coast
of
Italy
.
His
Oratory
could
not
prevaile
,
but
in
stead
of
an
expected
grant
,
they
gave
him
an
absolute
deniall
,
yet
seasoned
with
this
cold
excuse
,
that
it
was
not
the
custome
of
that
Common-wealth
,
to
admit
any
armed
vessels
into
their
Harbour
.
Ferrandina
not
taking
this
for
a
full
answer
,
began
to
be
instant
,
and
urgent
,
shewing
the
affection
of
the
King
his
Master
,
to
that
state
,
and
how
ill
,
he
might
take
it
,
to
be
denied
,
such
an
ordinary
curtesie
.
The
chiefe
Magistrate
answered
,
that
the
state
was
not
behind
him
,
in
mutuall
offices
of
love
,
that
he
had
beene
supplyed
out
of
their
chamber
yeerely
with
great
summes
of
money
,
and
this
present
yeere
assisted
with
their
Gallyes
;
and
that
now
in
stead
of
a
friendly
requitall
,
it
was
more
then
suspected
,
he
meant
to
spoyle
them
of
their
liberties
,
adding
in
fine
,
that
if
the
Fleete
did
not
retire
quickly
,
they
would
sinke
his
Gallyes
,
beginning
with
the
Admirall
,
the
bottome
wherein
the
Duke
commanded
,
presently
giving
order
to
the
prime
Canoneere
,
to
levy
the
Ordnance
,
point-blanke
upon
the
Spanish
Fleete
,
and
discharge
upon
it
,
The
friends
of
Carlo
d'Auria
arrested
.
if
the
Mariners
retired
not
speedily
.
It
was
no
time
to
stay
.
The
Duke
departed
immediately
,
returned
to
the
Fleete
,
and
sought
an
harbour
else-where
,
and
Leganez
unwilling
to
provoke
the
Genoois
any
further
,
marched
backe
againe
.
The
Genoeses
,
delivered
from

as
secretly
as
he
could
in

moneth
of

,
to
that
purpose
,
but
his
Musters
being
not

by
reason

violences
done
by
the
Chiefetaines
to
the
common
souldiers
,
who
still
more
affect
the
Government
of
the
Christian

he
gave
out
,
that

raysed
for
the
defence
of

,
Genoa
,
and
other
places
,
which
stood
in

But
the
first
Sunne
in
October
discovered
his
purpose
,
newes
was
brought
to
the
Bearnois
,
that
the
Viceroy

which
by

people
,
for

The

againe
upon

in

The

corrivall
for
honour
with
the
Christian
King
,
brings
a
great
Army
into
his
dominions
,
takes
some
of
his
townes

and
appeares
in
field
,
as
if
by
battell
he
meant
to
put
the
Kings
armies
to
flight
,
and
so
get
the

The

storme
,
musters
up
his
forces
,
fortifies
the

,
gives
sundry
directions

in

himselfe
appeares

UNTO
all
those
to
whom
these
present
Writings
shall
come
Greeting
,
France
against
all
reason
and
Iustice
,
having
moved
and
maintained
warre
upon
the
States
of
the
Emperour
,
and
of
my
Lord
the
King
,
given
extraordinary
succou
both
of
men
and
mony
,
their
rebellious
subiects
procured
the
Swedes
to
invade
the
Empire
,
received
&
bought
of
them
the
townes
of
Alsatia
,
and
of
other
hereditary
Countreys
appendant
to
Our
most
royall
houses
,
not
sparing
the
Catholike
League
it selfe
,
which
had
taken
Armes
for
none
other
end
,
but
for
the
good
of
Religion
:
And
it
being
notorious
that
the
same
France
,
(
after
all
these
publike
and
manifest
controventions
to
the
treaty
of
Peace
)
hath
finally
proceeded
to
a
breach
thereof
,
whereas
we
rather
had
cause
to
denounce
the
war
,
That
she
hath
sent
for
her
armie
to
over
run
the
Low-Countreys
,
the
dutchy
of
Millaine
,
and
other
free
fees
of
the
Empire
in
Italy
,
and
now
lately
the
Countrey
of
Burgundy
,
(
contrary
to
the
laws
of
neutrality
)
contrary
to
the
publike
Faith
,
and
contrary
to
the
expresse
promises
of
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
disguising
in
the
meane
time
those
attempts
&
breaches
of
Faith
before
the
face
of
all
Christendome
,
with
certaine
weake
precepts
,
and
false
surmises
contained
in
divers
Declarations
approved
in
the
Parliaments
of
France
,
and
accompanying
all
those
uniust
proceedings
,
with
sundry
insolencies
,
calumnies
,
and
contempt
of
sacred
persons
;
and
having
also
observed
,
that
this
Our
so
long
connivence
at
so
manifest
iniury
,
hath
served
for
no
other
end
but
to
make
our
enemies
more
audacious
and
insolent
;
and
that
the
compassion
which
we
have
had
towards
France
,
hath
drawen
on
the
ruine
of
those
whom
God
hath
put
under
the
obedience
of
their
Maiesties
:
For
those
considerations
,
according
to
the
power
which
we
have
received
from
His
Imperiall
Maiesty
,
we
have
commanded
our
ioyned
Armies
,
to
enter
into
France
,
for
no
other
purpose
,
then
to
obliege
the
King
of
France
to
enter
into
firme
Covenants
of
a
good
and
sure
Peace
,
and
to
remove
those
impediments
which
may
hinder
this
so
great
a
good
:
And
forasmuch
as
it
principally
concerneth
France
,
,
as
weary
of
such
tumults
to
hearken
to
this
proposition
;
we
cannot
but
beleeve
,
that
all
the
States
of
that
Kingdome
,
will
not
onely
set
forth
their
demonstrance
,
but
also
if
neede
be
assist
us
with
their
Forces
,
that
the
King
convinced
,
either
by
arguments
or
armes
,
may
be
induced
to
chastise
those
which
have
beene
the
authors
of
all
those
warres
which
these
7
or
8
yeares
past
have
beene
in
Christendome
.
And
which
when
they
had
provoked
,
and
assailed
,
all
their
neighbours
have
brought
upon
France
all
these
evills
which
she
suffereth
at
this
present
,
and
all
those
which
doe
at
this
time
threaten
her
:
And
although
wee
are
well
informed
of
the
weaknesse
and
division
into
which
those
great
disorders
,
and
evill
councels
have
cast
that
Kingdome
,
yet
we
declare
that
the
intentions
of
their
Maiesties
,
are
not
to
serve
themselves
of
this
occasion
to
ruine
it
,
or
to
draw
from
thence
any
other
profit
,
then
by
that
meanes
to
worke
a
peace
in
Christendome
,
which
may
be
stable
and
perminent
for
these
reasons
,
and
withall
,
to
shew
what
estimation
their
Maiesties
doe
make
of
the
Prayers
of
the
Queen-mother
of
the
most
Christian
King
,
we
give
them
to
understand
,
that
we
will
protect
and
use
as
friends
,
all
those
of
the
French
nation
,
who
either
ioyntly
,
or
severally
,
shall
second
these
our
designes
,
and
have
given
order
,
that
neutrallity
shall
be
held
with
those
of
the
Nobility
,
and
with
the
Townes
that
shall
desire
it
,
and
which
shall
refuse
to
resist
them
who
shal
oppose
good
of
Christendome
,
and
their
owne
safety
,
against
whom
shall
be
used
all
manner
of
hostility
,
without
giving
quarter
to
their
persons
,
or
sparing
either
their
houses
or
goods
.
And
our
further
will
is
,
that
all
men
should
take
notice
,
that
it
is
the
resolution
of
their
Maiesties
,
not
to
lay
down
armes
,
till
the
Queen
e-Mother
of
the
Most
Christian
King
,
be
satified
and
contented
,
and
till
the
Princes
uniustly
expulsed
from
their
estates
be
restored
,
and
untill
the
peace
be
fully
ratyfied
that
they
may
not
feare
to
bee
disturbed
by
him
who
hath
violated
the
treaties
of
[
](A17475-e25290-b)*
*
Onely
a
pretended
treaty
(
say
the
French
)
wher
in
Father
Ioseph
the
Capuchine
,
being
imployed
by
the
Cardinal
Richelew
,
as
agent
for
the
Christian
K.
after
a
negotiation
of
3.
yeares
to
no
purpose
,
finding
himselfe
deluded
by
the
Austrians
and
Spaniards
returned
into
France
revealed
what
he
had
discovered
,
which
caused
the
French
King
to
take
up
Armes
.
Ratisbon
,
and
others
made
before
and
since
he
hath
had
the
mannagement
of
the
affaires
of
France
,
neither
doe
we
pretend
to
draw
any
other
dammage
from
the
good
successe
,
which
it
shall
please
God
to
give
unto
our
iust
persecutions
,
then
to
preserve
and
augment
the
Catholique
Religion
,
to
pacifie
Europe
,
to
relieve
the
oppressed
,
and
to
restore
unto
every
one
,
that
which
of
right
belongeth
unto
him

Given
at
Mentz
this
fifth
of
Iuly
,
1636.
And
then
leaving
a
flying
Armie
with
the
Count
de
Feria
,
for
the
safeguard
of
the
Provinces
under
him
,
immediatly
,
as
if
hee
would
not
give
time
to
his
Majestie
to
arme
himselfe
against
his
furie
,
viz.
about
the
end
of
Iuly
appeared
before
Roy
,
a
small
piece
in
Picardie
,
with
14000
horse
,
10000
foot
for
service
,
and
3000
others
which
were
to
bee
imployed
to
bring
in
forrage
for
the
Cattell
,
and
bread
for
the
Armie
.
A
prodigious
Comet
never
appeared
more
formidable
;
a
sudden
feare
of
his
power
so
surprized
both
the
Citizens
and
Peasants
generally
,
that
not
onely
the
inhabitants
of
those
Frontiers
abandoned
their
habitations
,
but
some
peeces
of
strength
,
La
Capella
and
Catelet
delivered
up
trayterously
.
as

Capelle

disloyally
to
take
part
with
the
forreigne
Invader
,
then
to
hazard
a
blow
for
their
Liege
Soveraigne
)
yeelded
to
the
Spanish
Prince
,
and
so
facilitated
his
enterprize
against
Corbie
,
a
Citie
of
some
importance
upon
the
river
Soame
;
which
being
commanded
by
as
false
a
man
as
either
of
the
other
,
and
followed
their
example
,
and
surrendred
it
before
the
French
Armie
could
come
to
secure
it
.
His
Majesty
in
this
confusion
,
knowing
himselfe
to
be
the
man
,
to
whom
the
care
of
so
many
people
was
committed
,
slept
not
,
but
advising
with
his
Councell
in
the
beginning
of
August
,
raysed
a
puissant
Armie
for
the
recovery
of
his
Countrey
,
and
expulsion
of
his
enemies
.
His
goodnesse
to
the
inhabitants
of
his
Frontiers
in
Picardie
,
Champaigne
,
and
Burgundie
,
in
releasing
so
many
from
their
taxes
,
and
contributions
for
the
space
of
three
yeares
,
as
should
voluntarily
serve
in
this
expedition
;
and
his
wisedome
in
commanding
those
Gallants
which
ruffled
it
in
the
streets
of
Paris
,
when
they
should
have
beene
before
the
face
of
the
enemy
;
whether
Commanders
or
ordinary
Gentlemen
,
to
repaire
to
their
colours
within
foure
and
twenty
houres
,
the
one
upon
the
penaltie
of
the
losse
of
their
places
,
the
other
upon
forfeit
of
their
Gentry
,
and
losse
of
their
goods
to
bee
employed
to
his
Majesties
necessary
use
,
and
charging
the
superfluitie
of
unnecessarie
Artificers
to
attend
his
service
,
by
his
Edicts
published
August
15/5
,
speedily
supplied
him
with
a
puissant
Armie
of
fiftie
thousand
foote
,
and
fifteene
thousand
horse
,
well
mounted
to
hinder
the
Cardinals
progresse
.
And
yet
before
the
Army
should
march
forth
,
his
Majesty
not
relying
meerely
upon
the
multitude
of
his
host
,
nor
the
strength
of
his
horses
,
proclaimed
a
solemne
Fast
:
wherupon
the
Romanists
,
the
Archbishop
of
Paris
,
the
Sorbonne
,
and
the
Curates
of
the
severall
parishes
,
made
prayers
for
the
good
successe
of
his
Majesties
Armies
in
the
Citie
:
and
the
Protestants
met
together
at
Charenton
in
faithfull
devotion
for
their
Soveraigne
.
Where
after
supplications
made
for
his
Majesty
and
the
Kingdome
,
Drelincourt
,
the
Protestant
Preacher
,
made
a
Sermon
to
admonish
his
auditors
of
their
faithfulnesse
and
duty
to
their
Soveraigne
.
This
being
past
,
Du
Beck
and
S.
Leger
.
Governours
of
La
Capelle
,
and
Catelet
.
to
strike
terrour
into
all
treacherous
hearts
,
which
might
by
the
impunity
of
perfidious
disloyall
men
,
take
courage
in
after
time
to
conspire
with
the
enemy
against
their
Soveraigne
and
the
publicke
State
,
his
Majesty
in
a
full
Councell
of
warre
,
proceeded
against
du
Beck
,
late
Governour
of
la
Capelle
,
and
St.
Leger
,
Commander
in
Catelet
,
for
their
base
Cowardise
and
treason
(
a
coward
is
seldome
loyall
)
in
surrendring
their
places
of
charge
to
his
Majesties
and
the
kingdomes
adversaries
.
Their
severall
crimes
were
first
published
,
and
upon
examination
Du
Beck
was
found
to
have
delivered
up
La
Capelle
within
seven
dayes
after
it
was
first
surrounded
by
the
Spanish
Army
,
the
Moates
and
Ditches
about
it
being
then
full
of
water
,
and
himselfe
not
constrained
thereunto
by
any
private
sedition
,
as
he
had
falsly
rumoured
it
,
that
on
the
contrary
,
the
Officers
and
inhabitants
were
zealous
to
preserve
the
Citie
for
the
Kings
use
,
Arraigned
.
and
that
he
had
compelled
them
to
signe
the
written
capitulation
which
hee
had
published
for
his
owne
justification
,
threatning
them
,
that
if
they
refused
to
subscribe
,
hee
would
deliver
them
into
the
hands
of
the
Spaniards
,
without
quartier
.
That
hee
had
not
brought
one
handfull
of
earth
to
fortifie
the
Citie
since
the
siege
began
,
and
that
hee
kept
two
Flemings
privately
in
the
Citadell
.
Catelet
was
found
to
have
been
delivered
up
within
three
dayes
after
the
enemie
appeared
before
it
.
That
the
Governour
kept
but
one
Canonier
in
the
Citie
.
That
hee
was
able
and
provided
sufficiently
,
having
fiftie
Carabins
,
three
hundred
men
in
Garrison
,
and
sixtie
payes
in
his
hand
to
have
maintained
the
place
good
for
the
King
.
That
he
alone
made
the
Capitulation
,
and
in
fine
both
these
Commanders
being
proved
to
have
been
negligent
in
walking
their
rounds
,
and
doing
the
other
offices
belonging
to
their
charge
,
and
having
sufficient
Amunition
for
their
defence
,
and
yet
to
have
surrendred
their
Cities
without
a
breach
made
in
the
walles
,
had
this
horrid
sentence
pronounced
against
them
following
.
Sentenced
.
That
the
bodies
of
the
sayd
Du
Beck
and
S.
Leger
should
bee
bound
to
foure
horses
in
the
Grive
,
and
drawne
into
foure
pieces
,
that
their
quarters
should
be
planted
upon
severall
posts
in
the
way
to
Picardie
,
their
heads
set
upon
Poles
upon
the
Port
St.
Denis
:
All
which
they
should
suffer
in
person
if
they
could
be
apprehended
,
or
otherwise
in
effigie
.
And
because
the
sayd
Du
Beck
,
and
S.
Leger
,
in
stead
of
repairing
to
his
Maiestie
to
give
an
account
of
their
fact
,
as
finding
themselves
guiltie
of
so
capitall
a
treason
,
have
absented
themselves
from
the
justice
of
the
King
,
His
Maiestie
ordered
further
,
that
whosoever
should
bring
in
either
of
their
heads
,
should
have
for
a
reward
sixtie
thousand
Livers
.
That
the
sayd
Du
Beck
and
S.
Leger
,
and
their
posteritie
,
should
for
ever
be
degraded
from
their
Nobility
.
That
the
Armes
of
their
families
should
bee
defaced
,
their
principall
houses
razed
,
and
for
a
perpetuall
memory
of
their
detestable
treason
,
And
executed
in
effigie
.
in
the
place
where
their
principall
houses
stood
,
a
pillar
should
bee
erected
,
with
a
brazen
table
appendant
thereunto
,
wherein
this
sentence
should
bee
ingraven
,
That
all
their
goods
should
be
confiscate
,
That
not
onely
those
,
which
should
after
this
sentence
give
them
any
reliefe
,
should
be
accounted
Traytors
,
and
so
proceeded
against
,
But
that
whosoever
should
make
any
proposition
for
revocation
of
this
Confiscation
,
should
bee
held
as
a
Conspirator
against
his
royall
Maiestie
.
And
in
fine
,
this
iudgement
was
put
in
execution
Munday
Aug.
18.
the
Commanders
being
executed
upon
the
place
of
the
Grive
in
picture
,
and
their
Armes
razed
.
This
decree
against
these
his
disloyall
subiects
,
was
seconded
by
another
carefull
Ordinance
for
the
welfare
of
his
faithfull
people
the
Merchants
,
the
Merchants
adventuring
upon
the
Rivers
of
Aisne
and
Oyse
,
who
were
enioyned
under
paine
of
the
losse
of
their
bottomes
and
merchandize
,
to
have
their
boats
well
manned
,
and
armed
against
the
stragling
enemies
.
And
that
decree
being
past
,
The
Queen

during

abated
the
feare
of
the
Natives
,
who
now
began
to
gather
heart
upon
discovery
of
the
Kings
care
over
them
,
and
inverted
the
designes
of
the
Cardinall
Infant
,
who
though
he
had
taken
Corby
before
,
with
as
much
ease
as
he
had
done
la
Capella
and
Catelet
,
by
the
corruption
or
cowardise
of
the
Governour
and
inhabitants
(
for
though
the
Lord
of
Premi
August
16.
having
got
secretly
into
the
towne
,
omitted
neither
intreaties
nor
good
Remonstrances
to
perswade
him
and
the
Burgesses
from
rendring
it
,
and
the
Souldiers
both
Swedes
&
French
therein
,
vowed
their
constancie
to
the
King
,
yet
neither
of
these
could
alter
their
resolution
from
giving
up
the
place
)
though
the
Prince
had
formerly
dared
the
Count
of
Soissons
to
a
set
battell
,
which
hee
wisely
,
contrary
to
the
fiery
nature
of
the
French
,
avoyded
,
expecting
his
Maiesties
succours
;
yet
upon
the
appearance
of
his
Maiesties
Armies
,
yet
he
now
attempted
no
designes
,
but
fell
to
fortifying
the
townes
hee
had
taken
,
as
intending
onely
to
keep
what
he
had
gotten
,
and
not
adventure
further
to
enlarge
his
victories
.
And
yet
now
began
the
time
of
action
,
for
the
Infant
Prince
Cardinall
seeing
himselfe
in
a
strange
Territory
,
and
his
numbers
unequal
to
those
of
the
Christian
King
,
imployes
his
Crabats
to
spoyle
the
countrey
,
sent
for
two
new
Regiments
to
the
Duke
of
Feria
,
imployed
his
spies
to
discover
the
woods
&
passages
,
how
they
were
guarded
,
and
where
the
river
was
passable
.
But
the
Crabats
found
it
not
so
easie
now
as
they
had
done
formerly
to
rove
about
that
Province
,
the
Garisons
of
Amiens
,
Abiville
and
Peronne
,
who
before
had
enough
to
doe
to
defend
themselves
,
now
secured
by
the
Kings
neere
Army
,
being
at
leasure
to
attend
these
voleurs
,
and
the
spies
being
watched
,
taken
and
hanged
,
seldome
returned
to
give
an
answere
of
their
message
.
The
French
Army
incouraged
by
the
Infant
Cardinals
not
pressing
forward
,
began
now
to
expect
his
retrait
backward
,
and
in
that
confidence
were
divided
,
the
one
part
under
the
Monsieur
,
whom
his
Majesty
returning
for
a
short
space
to
Chantiley
,
had
made
his
Lieutenant
Generall
for
the
siege
of
Roy
,
another
for
Corby
,
under
de
la
Force
,
and
the
third
under
the
command
of
the
Count
Soissons
,
to
attend
the
Infant
,
whose
numbers
were
now
much
abated
,
partly
by
pest
and
famine
,
and
partly
by
their
separation
for
the
fortification
of
Roy
,
La
Capelle
,
Catelet
and
Corby
,
of
which
they
were
yet
masters
.
The
Monsieur
appeared
before
Roy
,
September
8.

Roy
taken
by
the
Monsieur
.
when
and
where
the
Gentry
of
the
kingdome
in
an
honourable
emulation
began
first
to
shew
their
valour
,
and
to
expresse
that
there
was
nothing
they
would
not
dare
to
doe
for
their
Soveraigne
,
in
the
view
of
the
Sonne
of
France
.
The
place
being
but
a
little
one
,
could
not
long
hold
out
;
yet
such
was
the
fidelitie
of
the
Spanish
Garrison
to
their
Prince
,
that
they
endured
a
whole
dayes
battery
by
a
dozen
Canons
,
and
would
not
surrender
it
till
they
perceived
a
breach
in
the
walles
,
nor
then
neither
,
but
upon
these
honourable
conditions
,
That
the
Captaine
and
the
Souldiers
should
march
out
with
the
armes
and
baggage
which
they
brought
into
the
towne
,
and
bee
conducted
with
a
safe
convoy
to
their
army
;
which
being
granted
,
Weslaus
Kaye
,
governour
there
for
the
Emperour
,
surrendred
one
of
the
Ports
that
night
,
and
the
towne
next
morning
.
The
Souldiers
had
their
conditions
truely
kept
;
but
the
Magistrate
of
the
place
,
being
a
new
created
one
,
and
one
that
received
his
place
from
the
Spaniards
,
was
hanged
the
10.
20.
of
the
same
moneth
,
and
some
other
of
the
inhabitants
accused
and
arrested
for
having
had
correspondence
with
the
enemy
.
This
was
the
first
advantage
the
French
had
gotten
against
the
Cardinall
Infant
,
since
his
first
entry
into
the
kingdome
:
which
though
it
was
not
glorious
in
respect
of
the
place
,
yet
was
of
good
consequence
in
respect
of
the
issue
.
For
there
was
found
corne
enough
to
supply
the
whole
Armie
for
many
dayes
,
and
the
Spaniards
were
deprived
of
that
sustenance
,
which
might
have
relieved
their
pressing
necessities
.
The
King
,
who
during
the
short
time
of
his
retirement
from
the
army
,
had
given
order
by
a
counsell
of
state
,
to
his
Mint-masters
,
to
enhaunce
the
price
of
moneyes
,
after
the
rate
of
gold
,
The
price
of
money
raysed
in
France
.
from
320
livers
to
384
,
and
silver
from
23
livers
and
ten
souses
to
25
livers
for
the
better
paiment
of
his
Souldiers
.
Being
certified
of
the
successe
at
Roy
by
Poitrincourt
an
esquire
of
his
body
,
September
10.20
.
within
two
dayes
following
returned
to
his
Army
at
Roy
;
where
,
having
given
direction
for
the
establishing
of
all
things
there
,
himselfe
and
the
Monsieur
marched
toward
Corby
,
to
bring
that
place
againe
to
his
obedience
.
Corby
being
now
in
the
Infants
power
,
was
strongly
fortified
,
as
being
reserved
for
a
winter
quarter
,
for
such
Spanish
Souldiers
,
who
were
both
able
and
willing
to
sally
abroad
sometimes
for
pillage
,
and
molest
the
inhabitants
of
Picardie
.
One
thing
onely
was
wanting
,
convenient
hand-mills
for
grinding
of
their
corne
,
which
neither
the
Garrison
could
make
,
for
want
of
materials
,
nor
their
friends
abroad
supply
them
with
,
by
reason
of
the
circumvallations
made
about
it
,
though
yet
farre
off
by
the
Kings
forces
.
The
onely
helpe
the
Garrison
and
towne
had
,
was
the
Mill
at
Fovilloy
,
upon
the
side
of
the
Moorasse
,
neere
the
Citie
.
Hereupon
Beaufort
,

Dauphinois
,
a
Gentleman
belonging
to
the
Cardinall
Duke
,
then
imployed
upon
the
Kings
service
at
Amiens
,
A
bold
and
prosperous
adventure
upon
the
Mill
at
Corby
.
September
16.
intending
to
deprive
his
Maiesties
enemies
of
that
advantage
,
with
a
chosen
company
of
an
hundred
men
,
about
nine
at
night
,
tooke
sixe
Boats
,
and
therein
imbarqued
his
friends
,
who
about
two
in
the
morning
arrived
at
Dours
,
a
village
upon
the
Soame
,
a
league
and
halfe
from
Corby
,
where
they
landed
,
and
leaving
eighteene
of
their
company
,
to
guard
the
Barkes
,
the
rest
were
conducted
by
three
Peasants
over
a
great
plaine
;
on
the
right
hand
whereof
in
a
Village
named
Vigni
,
were
lodged
seven
hundred
of
the
enemies
horse
,
and
on
the
left
hand
in
an
hamlet
neere
Dours
,
the
Corps
du
guard
of
his
Infantery
.
The
beginning
of
the
adventure
was
full
of
hazard
,
yet
the
issue
was
prosperous
.
They
passed
on
over
the
two
bridges
at
Corby
,
and
came
to
the
halfe
Moone
without
any
encounter
by
the
enemy
.
Good
fortune
attended
the
hardy
Gentleman
,
the
Spaniards
were
then
upon
their
watch
,
and
the
French
Souldiers
espying
the
severall
fires
made
by
the
enemy
upon
their
Corps
du
guards
,
grew
timorous
,
and
would
have
retired
,
had
not
the
valour
of
their
commander
,
and
forwardnesse
of
seven
voluntiers
,
which
ingaged
themselves
with
him
in
the
action
,
beene
a
whetstone
to
sharpen
those
spirits
which
feare
had
dulled
.
But
he
enjoyning
the
rest
to
follow
his
example
,
in
a
discreet
silence
led
on
to
the
Barricadoe
at
the
head
of
Caus-way
,
where
he
broke
the
chaine
with
Axes
,
fell
furiously
upon
the
Corps
du
guard
,
and
put
them
all
to
the
sword
,
and
thence
marched
to
the
Mill
,
where
they
found
another
Corps
du
guard
,
the
Commissary
for
provisions
,
and
sixtie
Souldiers
which
were
come
to
bring
meale
to
the
Armie
;
all
which
in
one
quarter
of
an
houre
they
out
in
peeces
,
and
then
burnt
the
Mill
,
and
wagons
provided
for
the
Portage
of
the
grists
,
with
foure
thousand
crownes
worth
of
corne
and
meale
;
and
then
making
a
bravado
before
the
towne
of
Corby
,
distant
from
the
Mill
about
two
hundred
paces
,
returned
safe
to
Amiens
.
The
Duke
de
Chaunes
,
Commander
for
the
King
in
Amiens
,
before
the
designe
of
Beaufort
,
had
conceived
a
like
project
for
the
recovery
of
the
Fort
at
Morevill
,
from
the
Spaniards
fingers
,
a
place
strong
for
situation
,
and
a
convenient
hold
for
the
invaders
,
who
sallying
from
thence
,
plundred
the
circumjacent
countrey
,
even
to
Cleremont
,
and
hindred
the
trafficke
up
the
River
of
Morevel
to
Amiens
,
The
Fort
of
Morevil
taken
by
Onslat
.
and
now
esteeming
it
more
feasible
,
by
the
successe
of
Beaufort
at
Corby
,
then
he
had
done
formerly
,
resolved
to
put
it
in
execution
.
The
Trophees
of
Miltiades
rowsed
up
the
sluggish
spirits
of
Themistocles
and
Previl
,
a
young
gentleman
,
and
Captaine
in
Amiens
,
not
envying
the
former
Cavilaries
glory
,
but
desirous
to
share
in
his
honour
,
with
120
musquetiers
selected
out
of
the
Garrison
,
and
commanded
by
chosen
officers

company
of

undertooke
the
adventure
.
The
speech
concerning
the
enterprize
,
and
the
prosecution
,
were
almost
contemporaries
,
the
Embryo
was
not
long
in
forming
,
but
as
soone
produced
,
almost
,
as
conceived
.
Preüil
had
his
desire
,
and
the
8.18
.
he
arrived
with
his
followers
at
the
Mill
neare
the
Fort
,
where
he
encontred
a
Corps
du
guard
of
the
enemy
,
and
put
them
all
to
the
Sword
.
Thence
the
forlorn
hope
conducted
by
a
Serjeant
(
who
was
slaine
by
a
Musquet
shot
from
the
Castle
)
passed
the
Ditches
,
though
in
water
up
to
the
Arme-pits
,
and
a
Petardior
amongst
them
fixed
his
engine
of
devastation
to
one
of
the
gates
,
which
being
fired
,
made
no
bigger
a
breach
,
than
for
two
men
to
enter
in
Front
:
The
Garrison
who
had
discovered
the
French
,
using
their
best
art
and
meanes
to
abate
the
force
if
they
could
not
altogether
prevent
and
hinder
its
opperation
.
But
the
rest
of
the
adventurers
perceiving
now
this
small
gap
open
for
their
admittance
,
ran
through
the
waters
to
assist
their
companions
,
Bel-castle
,
and
Souland
,
2
Gentlemen
and
Captaines
,
the
first
of
De
Breze
his
regiment
,
the
other
of
Vigans
,
being
the
first
that
entred
,
met
happily
with
the
Lorraine
Captain
,
the
prime
commander
there
,
who
demanding
Quarter
,
had
it
given
him
,
but
Preüil
entring
immediately
with
the
rest
of
the
forces
fell
upon
the
Garrison
,
slew
50
of
the
120
Souldiers
,
which
kept
the
place
for
the
Spaniard
,
and
tooke
the
rest
prisoners
,
not
refusing
to
give
Quarter
to
any
that
begged
it
:
Thus
farre
he
went
by
commission
which
could
not
limit
him
,
who
being
incouraged
by
his
fortune
,
marched
to
another
Mill
,
guarded
by
some
of
Iohn
de
Werth
his
Cavellary
,
whom
he
slew
,
and
tooke
their
provisions
for
his
owne
use
,
depriving
the
Caesarean
Commander
by
that
meanes
of
part
of
the
sustenance
ordained
for
his
retinue
.
Newes
of
both
these
last
attempts
and
the
consequences
,
was
sent
to
the
King
by
speciall
Curriers
,
and
came
ere
looked
for
to
the
Infants
Campe
,
who
considering
the
strength
of
the
Kings
army
,
and
the
necessities
to
,
which
hee
was
lyable
in
a
forraigne
land
,
in
an
orderly
retreate
tooke
the
way
of
Peromud
,
toward
Bapaume
,
for
the
refreshing
of
his
forces
,
and
better
conveniency
.
His
Majesty
of
France
,
now
in
a
manner
quit
of
that
enemy
,
gave
instant
order
for
the
strait
siege
of
Corby
,
which
being
held
by
a
strong
Garrison
,
much
annoyed
all
Picardy
,

being
his
Birth-day
,
by
his
order
given
to
the
Marquesse
de
la
Force
,
to
whose
care
he
trusted
,
and
of
whose
fortunes
by
the
prefedent
actions
hee
had
more
than
a
good
expectation
.
The
out-workes
at
Corby
taken
by
La
Force
.
The
Marshall
observed
the
Kings
orderance
,
and
happily
executed
what
was
injoyned
him
.
A
good
director
,
who
is
neither
Foole-hardy
,
nor
nicely
timevous
,
hammers
out
the
way
for
himselfe
and
his
dependants
.
And
such
was
this
old
Commander
,
who
in
person
viewed
the
enemies
guards
,
observed
their
intrenchments
,
which
worke
was
best
secured
,
which
more
easily
mastered
,
where
the
Sentinels
were
vigilant
,
where
negligent
,
and
having
not
without
hazard
thus
begunne
his
round
,
the
same
night
beate
his
enemy
from
his
Horn
works
,
made
〈◊〉
with
the
sword
upon
the
greater
part
of
the
souldiers
attending
in
the
out-workes
,
and
forced
the
rest
to
retyre
within
the
walls
of
the
city
.
This
his
Majesties
birth-day
was
crowned
with
a
victory
,
and
this
victory
might
have
been
an
Omen
of
perpetuall
successe
to
the
Kings
enterprises
,
had
not
the
Raven
croaked
from
the
hollow
Oake
,
and
this
honey
been
mingled
with
bitter
Myrrhe
and
Aloes
,
But
the
wisest
men
are
sometimes
caught
in
a
snare
,
and
though
the
eye
of
providence
would
be
ever
watchfull
,
yet
there
wants
not
a
Mercury
to
charme
this
Argus
to
sleepe
security
,
or
on
overweaning
opinion
of
each

severall

A
fortunate
attempt
a-against
the
French
,
by
Iohn
de
Werth
The
French
army
being
now
masters
of
the
Spaniards
works
,
without
the
city
,
were
so
far
from
feare
of
being
assaulted
by
the
Prince
Cardinals
forces
,
that
they
intended
to
make
an
attempt
upon
them
,
and
to
this
purpose
,
September
23.
Stilo
novo
,
sent
out
a
party
to
descry
the
Quarter
of
Iohn
de
Werth
,
which
they
meant
to
surprize
the
next
day
ensuing
.
But
the
strange
vicissitude
of
fortune
,
which
mis-led
the
Conductors
of
the
Werth
out
of
his
way
,
when
he
was
going
with
1800
horse
to
make
adventure
upon
the
French
Campe
,
brought
him
directly
upon
the
French
espyals
,
who
mistaking
him
,
for
a
party
of
their
owne
,
revealed
to
him
their
purpose
,
whither
,
and
to
what
end
they
came
abroad
.
The
Baron
heard
their
discourse
,
and
being
as
well
versed
in
the
Poleticks
,
as
the
Polomicks
,
hid
his
Lyons
skinne
,
and
shewed
the
Foxes
,
told
them
,
he
could
give
them
a
particular
information
of
the
state
of
things
there
,
and
desired
them
to
conduct
them
to
the
French
Quarters
,
whither
hee
was
going
,
though
misfortunately
hee
had
mistaken
his
way
.
The
spies
,
whom
otherwise
hee
would
have
forced
to
obey
him
willingly
,
brought
him
to
Montign
,
a
village
betwixt
Corby
and
Dours
,
where
lay
3
Regiments
of
horse
,
2
Regiments
of
foote
,
and
5
companies
of
Dragoones
.
There
needed
then
no
exhortation
to
encourage
his
Souldiers
,
the
present
condition
of
the
French
souldiers
cryed
out
against
themselves
,
though
their
tongues
were
locked
up
in
silence
.
They
were
generally
at
rest
,
not
suspecting
an
enemy
,
and
severed
in
three
severall
Quarters
,
as
confident
of
their
owne
ability
,
to
defend
themselves
singly
if
occasion
should
require
it
.
The
Almaine
Generall
stayed
not
to
bid
them
arme
,
but
fell
upon
them
as
hee
found
them
,
slew
many
which
were
not
able
to
defend
themselves
,
tooke
800
prisoners
,
carryed
away
1500
horses
for
service
,
and
might
have
beene
possessed
of
their
Baggage
too
,
had
not
the
devouring
fire
which
he
cast
amongst
them
prevented
him
.
The
young
Duke
of
Wirtenberg
who
was
lodged
in
that
Quarter
scaped
miraculously
,
taken
he
was
,
but
mistaken
.
How
welcome
the
report
of
this
pety
conquest
(
not
gotten
by
a
manly
fight
,
but
cast
upon
the
Caesarean
Commander
by
fortune
,
as
himselfe
told
the
Infant
Cardinall
)
was
to
the
Spaniards
,
it
is
to
be
judged
by
the
Bone-fires
which
were
hereupon
made
in
Flanders
,
and
the
reward
of
6000
Crownes
,
which
the
Infant
sent
the
Baron
the
next
day
for
this
service
,
by
Charoletto
his
Secretary
.
The
Christian
King
accounted
it
as
a
scratch
,
not
as
a
wound
,
and
with
a
countenance
shewing
anger
,
more
than
sorrow
proceeded
,
to
the
straite
blocking
up
of
the
City
.
To
this
purpose
,
his
Majesty
the
28
of
the

went
to

,
whither
he
had
caused
some

and
there
consulting

Count

All
which

done
accordingly

:
His

tooke
up
his
quarter
at
Demvin
,
a
village
upon
the
River
of
Soame
,
and
distant
from
the
City
one
league
,
not
being
able
to
come
nearer
,
the
village
in
the
valley
upon
the
Soame

being
burnt
up
by
the
Spanish
army

and
those

It
is
almost
beyond
beleefe
to
admit
the
reports
which
are
given
out
of
his

vigilance
in
this

had
so
straitned
them
within

that
they
were
hopelesse

These

performed
their

faithfully
,
and

that
might
be
advantagious
for

service
,
that
the

they
sent
a
Drum
to

and
their
Commanders
putting
forth
a

of
Truce
,
appeared
upon
the

,
desiring

with
whom
they
might
enter
into

The

of

,
The
Garrison
in
Corby
capitulates
.
who
at
this
time
was
come
to
the
Campe
,
gave
a
willing
and
gentle
eare
to
their
propositions
,
which
were
briefly
couched
in
these
few
words
,
that
they
desired
a
cessation
of
armes
till
November
4.14
.
at
ten
in
the
morning
,
at
which
time
,
if
they
were
not
relieved
by
the
Infant
of
Spaine
,
they
would
surrender
upon
faire
quarter
for
themselves
,
and
the
loane
of
100
wagons
to
carry
away
their
luggage
.
Many
inducements
there
were
,
which
moved
the
Count
to
assent
to
their
desires
,
the
goodnesse
of
the
place
,
and
speciall
care
of
the
lives
of
the
Kings
subjects
,
which
must
have
been
endangered
,
if
hee
should
attempt
the
assault
.
Assent
he
did
,
and
imploying
both
his
eyes
,
the
one
to
looke
behinde
him
,
to
prevent
their
expected
succours

the
other
before
him

for
a
continuall
watch
upon

expected
the
day

houre
appoynted
.
The
measurer
of
time
,
the
Sunne
,
had
run
his
course
,
and
yet
no
reliefe
appeared
.
But
then
the
wise
Commander
sent
an
officer
to
remember
them
of
their
conditions
,
and
the
besieged
returned
an
answer
,
that
they
were
ready
to
performe
their
covenants
.
An
houre
lost
cannot
bee
recalled
.
The
Count
instantly
dispatched
the
grand
master
of
the
Artillery
,
with
the
wagons
,
which
were
admitted
in
,
and
loaded
by
2
in
the
after-noone
.
Then
the
Count
advanced
with
his
Forces
to
one
of
the
ports
:
the
garrison
in
the
interim
departing
the
same
way
,
they
came
in
by
the
Ancre-port
.
The
garrison
consisted
of
divers
nations
,
Spaniards
,
Italians
,
Wallons
,
Lorraines
and
Almanes
,
and
observed
a
kinde
of
state
in
their
going
out
.
First
the
horse
,
whereof
there
were
3
Companies
.
Next
them
followed
the
wagons
,
loaden
with
600
sick
men
,
and
400
women
.
Then
2
Canons
and
3
wagons
fild
with
amunition
.
After
all
these
came
the
foot
,
the
Walloones
and
Germans
,
with
their
Commanders
afore
them
;
Corby
surrendred
to
the
Swedes
.
the
Italians
after
them
,
but
without
their
chieftaines
,
because
they
would
not
assent
to
the
surrender
;
and
lasty
the
Lorraines
and
Spaniards
,
who
were
all
safely
conducted
to
Behancourt
2.
leagues
from
Corby
,
that
night
;
and
had
a
stronger
convoy
the
next
day
(
upon
giving
of
hostages
)
to
bring
them
into
Artoys
,
for
feare
of
the
Pesants
,
which
being
enraged
against
them
for
their
cruelties
,
would
otherwise
have
taken
a
sharpe
revenge
upon
their
persons
.
Tydings
of
this
atchievement
were
dispersed
abroad
speedily
,

in

,
he
had
brought
a
Myne
therein
to
such
perfection
,
that
upon
the
twelfth
of
the
same
month
he
gave
an
assurance
to
his
Army
it
should
be
sprung
to
the
purpose
,
and
admonished
his
fouldiers
to
prepare
for
the
Assault
.
In
this
extremity
the
besieged
sent
their
Agent
first
to
the
Catholike
Cantons
in
the
King
of
Spaine's
name
,
to
desire
their
succours
.
The
Agent
discharged
his
office
faithfully
,
neither
his
labour
in
travelling
from
one
place
to
another
,
to
speak
with
those
States
severally

to

for
them
if

stood

)
to
move
them
to
condescend
to
his
desires
.
The
Helvetians
besides
their
private
answer
given
to
the
Garrisons
Agent
,
willing
to
give
them
what
satisfaction
they
possibly
could
,
without
giving
offence
to
the
French
,
dispatched
speedily
a
Colonell
to
Dole
,
who
comming
as
an
Embassador
from
the
Swisse
,
was
permitted
to
passe
through
the
Campe
peaceably
and
admitted
into
the
Towne
,
where
he
declared
the
causes
why
the
States
of
Helvetia
,
could
not
assist
the
Citie
against
the
King
,
and
was
heard
patiently
;
and
dismissed
quietly
,
but
before
he
could
go
out
of
the
reach
of
Musquet-shot
,
a
bullet
shot
from
the
Citie
,
whether
at
randome
or
by
aime
,
it
is
uncertaine
,
hir
him
in
the
necke
and
slew
him
.
The
French
souldiers
tooke
up
the
body
,
and
buried
it
with
their
Millitarie
Ceremonies
at
Auxonne
a
City
upon
the
Some
,
distant
from
Dole
five
French
miles
,
the
Prince
of
Conde
himselfe
attending
upon
the
Herse
to
honour
his
Funerals
.
The
besieged
thus
deprived
of
their
hopes
,
grew
desperately
valiant
,
and
resolving
not
to
quit
the
place
,
but
with
losse
of
their
lives
,
made
divers
fallies
upon
the
Campe
,
though
with
manifest
hazard
in
the
attempt
,
and
losse
in
the
execution
,
assayed
to
burne
the
French
Galeries
made
of
wood
,
and
though
the
issue
did
not
answer
their
expectation
,
concluded
to
stand
upon
their
defence
to
the
utmost

Is
releeved
by
the
Duke
of

without
admitting
a
thought
of
agreement
with
the
assaylants
.
The
Events
of
warre
are
probable
&
no
more
.
The
French
conceived
already
a
certain
victory
,
but
the
Dye
turned
,
an
unexpected
releefe
came
to
help
the
Garrison
,
&
they
who
were
formerly
confined
to
the
precinct
of
their
wals
,
got
liberty
not
only
for
their
recreation
and
refreshment
,
but
for
inlargement
also
of
their
spoyles
and
victories
.
Charles
Duke
of
Lorrain
,
a
tributary
Prince
to
the
Crown
of
France
,
dispossessed
of
his
Countrey
by
the
Christian
King
,
and
succoured
by
Caesar
,
being
now
the
Commander
of
an
Army
of
12000
men
,
came
before
he
was
looked
for
,
to
visit
the
Camp
,
and
sending
first
2000
Crabats
,
all
horse-men

Pontalier

Castelein
belonging
to
the
P.

,
which
he
burnt
to
the
ground
,
and
slew
both
women
and
children
with
the
edge
of
the

did
the
like

The
Crabats
thus
fleshed
with

,
returne
immediatly
to
their
Leader
,
informe
him
of
their
successe
,
and
hee
with
his
whole
Army
marched
strait
forward
to
Dole
,
where
he
assaulted
the
trenches
,
&
by
a
bloody
&
doubtful
battel
,
beat
the

raysed

reported
this
Conquest
to

Mountain

and
that
transferd
it
again
to
the
nigh
bordering
Dales
with
such
swiftnesse
,
that
the
next
day
after
the
newes
arrived
at
Cambray
distant
thence
about
one
hundred
English
miles
,
to
the
joy
of
the
Walloons
,
and
Spanyards
there
,
who
for
testimony
of
their
great
content
in
this
happy
adventure
at
Dole
,
made
Bon-fires
,
and
spent
their
Gun-powder
in
triumph
,
discharging
all
the
Canons
upon
the
Wals
,
as
if
that
day
had
not
been
the
beginning
,
but
Period
of
their
victories
:
And
the
Period
it
was
indeed
,
for
though
this
Army
being
within
few
dayes
after
re-enforced
by
the
Troops
of
the
Imperiall
Lievetenant
Generall
,
the
Earle
of
Gallas
,
who
was
accompanied
with
the
old
Earle
of
Coloredo
,
and
the
Earle
of
Ritbergen
,
was
thirty
thousand
strong
horse
and
foot
,
and
well
furnished
with
Artillery
,
carrying
with
them
forty
peeces
of
Canon
,
the
least
whereof
shot
a
Bullet
of
twenty
three
pounds
,
and
in
this
bravery
had
resolved
to
passe
through
Besanson
,
or
the
Province
of
Bessigin
against
Bresse
and
Lionnoys
:
yet
their
jollity
was
stop'd
in
the
full
careere
by
the
vigilance
of
Duke
Bernhard
of
Saxon
Weymar
,
and
the
Cardinall
Valette
,
who
attended
them
at
the
heeles
,
and
raised
them
from
the
Siege
when
they
were
set
downe

upon
Composition
one
part
of
the
provision
there
found
was
presently
reserved
for

of

and
another
for
the
revictualling
of

places
in

Country
,
as

,

,
&
the
Fort

which
sided
with
the
Christian
King
,
&
Crown
of
Sweden
;
The
Camp
removed
the
next
day
to
Onfelet
intending
to
visit
the
Imperiall
Generall
who
was
entrenched
at
Drusenheim
,
and
if
it
were
possible
to
draw
him
out
to
battell
before
he
could
strengthen
himselfe
with
a
new
retreat
,
the
French
,
and
Germans
,
being
superior
to
the
Caesareans
,
both
in
number
and
spirit
,
the
Imperiall
Army
consisting
only
of
five
thousand
foot
,
and
eight
thousand
horse
,
and
those
miserably
necessitated
by
Famine
and
Pest
,
the
other
amounting
to
thirteen
thousand
foot
,
and
seven
thousand
horse
,
lusty
,
and
prepared
to
fight
:
Duke
Bernhard
,
and
the
Cardinall
Valette
conceived
their
project
to
be
more
feasible
because
the
King
of
Hungary
was
supposed
to
be
in
the
Camp
,
whose
presence
might
addecourage
to
the
Caesareans
,
The
French
provoke
Gallas
to
fight
,
but
he
avoyds
them
.
and
spur
them
up
to
any
dangerous
adventure
.
But
the
King
was
gone
foure
daies
before
to
Brissack
,
and
the
wary
Generall
would
not
appeare
in
Campania
,
but
kept
close
in
his
trenches
,
though
the
French
Cavaliers
by
the
space
of
eight
houres
together
,
(
two
thousand
first
appearing
,
then
one
thousand
five
hundred
,
and
lastly
one
thousand
only
)
braved
him
,
and
dared
him
to
the
Combat
.
It
was
bootlesse
for
the
two
united
Armies
to
attend
him
any
longer
;
and
partly
to
draw
him
from
his
hold
,
and
partly
to
assist
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
they
marched
in
a
faire
Equipage
towards
the
Frontiers
of
France
,
giving
order
for
transporting
of
the
aforenamed
provisions
to
Culembach
,
and
Podebus
,
two
German
Colonels
,
who
not
without
danger
and
opposition
,
discharged
their
Offices
faithfully
and
happily
.
Culembach
followed
the
Army
with
his
Waggons
,
Three
Companies
of
Crabats
defeated
by
Culembach
.
and
though
the
neerenesse
of
the
French
Bands
might
have
secured
him
from
any
attempt
against
him
by
the
Caesareans
,
yet
three
Companies
of
Crabats
watching
opportunity
,
set
upon
the
Convoy
,
and
had
surprized
it
,
if
he
had
not
behaved
himselfe
both
wisely
and
valiantly
against
them
;
but
their
comming
being
discovered
by
his
Scouts
,
he
prepared
to
entertaine
them
,
and
in
the
first
conflict
slew
100.
of
them
upon
the
place
,
forcing
the
rest
to
flie
for
their
safety
to
the
Campe
at
Drusenheim
,
where
they
found
more
content
in
their
securitie
,
though
without
gaine
,
than
in
their
late
designe
for
pillage
.
The
other
Convoy
wherein
Podebus
,
the
Count
de
Guiché
and
Aiguebourne
Gouernour
of
Hagenaw
,
were
ingaged
joyntly
,
the
two
Generals
forecasting
to
what
hazards
they
might
be
exposed
,
was
in
more
danger
,
but
came
off
as
happily
as
the
former
.
These
three
Commanders
by
order
from
their
Excellencies
,
being
to
march
from
Haguenaw
Aug.
4/14
with
an
hundred
and
fifty
Waggons
loaden
with
Corne
,
were
manned
with
five
hundred
Musquetiers
,
the
Company
of
light
horse
belonging
to
the
Governour
,
and
two
German
Regiments
of
horse
for
releefe
of
the
confederate
places
in
Alsatia
,
were
encountred
upon
their
way
by
1500
Caesarean
foot
and
horse
,
part
of
Gallas
his
Army
,
who
lay
still
encamped
at
Drusenheim
,
their
necessity
pricking
them
forward
to
gain
so
good
a
booty
.
The
Curriers
which
marched
in
the
head
of
Podebus
his
vantguard
,
met
at
first
with
sixty
Crabats
,
which
appeared
alone
to
the
first
view
,
but
were
seconded
with
the
body
of
this
Imperiall
partee
,
in
which
were
three
hundred
Cuirassiers
,
who
kept
a
narrow
passage
by
which
the
Convoy
must
necessarily
go
.
This
report
being
noysed
abroad
in
the
Army
,
certain
Officers
and
voluntary
Swedes
ran
without
any
order
given
to
assault
them
,
but
were
repulsed
though
without
losse
of
their
lives
,
yet
to
the
prejudice
of
their
discretion
.
The
Colonell
Podebus
thereupon
sent
a
Quarter-master
with
forty
horsemen
to
discover
the
posture
of
the
Enemy
,
but
he
comming
too
neere
,
was
slaine
,
and
the
rest
forced
to
retire
to
the
Convoy
.
In
the
mean
time
,
whilst
this
small
partee
was
absent
,
a
Councell
was
held
by
the
Count
de
Guiche
and
the
two
Colonels
,
what
was
to
be
done
,
and
in
what
manner
they
should
fight
with
the
Caesareans
;
and
in
the
end
it
was
concluded
,
that
the
Count
should
passe
on
with
the
waggons
,
whilst
the
Colonels
gave
them
battell
.
Five
hundred
German
Reysters
or
Horsemen
of
Podebus
his
Regiment
were
assigned
for
the
conflict
,
and
the
rest
to
attend
the
carriages
.

Cavallary
,
and
commanding
twelve
Trumpets
to

charge
,
fell
so
furiously
upon
the
Caesareans
,
that
they
put
them
to
a
disorderly
flight
,
slew
many
upon
the
place
,
the
number
is
uncertaine

took
24
prisoners

amonst
whom
was
the
Captain
of
the
Crabats
,
with
his
Commission
,
and
letters
of
instruction
for
this
occasion
.
But
they
gained
more
in
the
pursuit
,
than
in
the
fight
,
the
high
wayes
being
strewed
with
Curasses
,
which
the
flying
Enemy
had
cast
away
in
his
haste
,
and
one
hundred
Barbed
horses
gained
,
which
were
sent
afterwards
to
his
Excellency
,
Duke
Bernhard
,
who
was

incamped
at

expecting
that

Citie
,
manned
only
with
sixty
Snaphanses
,
yet
much
troubling
the
French
in
Lorrain
,
being
commanded
by
a
vowed
Enemy
to
the
Kings
government
,
&
being
one
of
the
retiring
places
for
those
Boutifeaus
the
Crabats
,
after
they
had
roved
abroad
to
pillage
&
plunder
the
Country
.
The
Colonel
,
first
summoned
the
place
by
a
Trumpet
,
but
could
obtain
no
fairer
an
answer
,
than
that
he
must
expect
nothing
there
but
powder
&
shot
,
&
not
staying
to
reply
with
words
,
he
charged
them
with
the
same
materials
,
battered
the
Town
and
Castle
with
the
Canon
,
made
a
breach
in
the
wall
by
the
afternoon
to
the
terrour
of
the
Governour
,
who
with
his
Garrison
retired
to
the
Castle
,
leaving
the
Town
not
to
the
spoyle
of
the
Dukes
Army
,
Blamond
taken
by
D.
Bernh
.
and
the
Governour
hanged
.
himselfe
a
worse
Enemie
to
the
place
,
than
could
bee
expected
from
abroad
,
having
strowed
the
ground
of
the
Citie
with
loose
powder
,
which
taking
fire
,
according
to
his
malitious
desire
,
destroyed
a
goodly
Church
,
devoured
the
goods
of
the
Inhabitants
,
and
turned
all
the
houses
in
the
Citie
,
(
which
were
generally
stored
with
Corn
&
provision
,
six
only
being
saved
)
to
heapes
of
Ashes
.
The
report
of
this
wicked
Act
,
was
by
a
nimble
Currier
,
carried
to
the
D.
at
Luneville
,
who
incensed
thereat
,
took
horse
speedily
,
posted
to
the
Camp
at
Blamont
,
and
prepared
to
assault
the
Castle
,
but
changed
his
designe
,
seeing
a
flag
of
treaty
hung
out
,
being
more
willing
to
spare
the
lives
of
his
Enemies
in
the
Garrison
,
than
the
Commander
was
to
save
the
substance
of
his
late
friends
,
the
Citizens
.
The
Garrison
at
first
began
to
stand
upon
termes
of
agreement
,
as
unwilling
to
submit
themselves
to
the
Duke
,
or
leave
the
Fort
,
without
an
assurance
of
mercie
signed
by
himselfe
;
but
the
Duke
perceiving
the
weaknesse
of
the
place
,
would
not
stand
to
indent
with
them
,
and
again
prepared
for
the
assault
,
the
conclusion
whereof
ministering
just
occasion
of
feare
to
the
Enemy
,
the
Garrison
yeelded
upon
discretion
,
and
the
souldiers
were
permitted
to
depart
with
white
staves
,
but
the
Governour
being
a
Major
,
was
justly
hanged
for
his
detestable
treachery
.
Thence
the
Duke
himselfe
,
Ramberville
taken
by
Duke
Bernhard
.
with
those
forces
marched
to
Ramberville
,
where
another
of
the
Enemies
Garrisons
lay
,
and
having
summoned
it
also
uneffectually
,
Aug.
21.
September
1.
he
presently
skaled
it
in
foure
severall
places
,
and
by
foure
the
next
morning
took
it
.
The
Commander
within
,
and
the
Garrison
retreated
to
the
Castle
,
and
stayed
not
thereto
expect
a
summons
,
but
yeelded
presently
upon
discretion
,
and
had
this
mercy
shewed
them
;
liberty
to
depart
with
their
low
weapons
,
but
sans
baggage
,
or
any
other
accomodation
.
The
Town
was
given
for
pillage
to
the
souldiers
,
yet
with
this
speciall
charge
given
by
the
Generall
,
that
the
religiours
houses
should
bee
spared
,
and
the
honours
of
the
Women
be
preserved
;
the
Queen
of
France
intreating
this
respect
to
be
given
to
those
in
Orders
,
and
the
weaker
sex
,
at
his
departing
thence
,
and
his
promise
being
past
to
her
Majesty
to
observe
it
.
The
rising
of
the
Confederate
Armies
from
the
Camp
at
Brompt
,
The
Imperiall
Army
reenforced
,
marcheth
towards
Burgundy
.
gave
opportunity
to
the
Imperiall
forces
under
the
Croatian
Commanders
,
Isolani
,
and
Forgats
,
the
Germans
Lamboy
and
Muse
,
the
Spaniard
,
the
Marquesse
of
Grana
,
and
Charles
Duke
of
Lorrain
to
repaire
to
Gallas
his
Army
,
who
expecting
the
Irish
Butler
,
but
not
waiting
his
comming
;
marched
speedily
towards
the
Dukedome
of
Burgundy
,
and
the
Frank
County
,
being
followed
close
by
the
Cardinall
,
and
Duke
Bernhard
,
which
reenforced
their
Armies
with
the
forces
of
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
and
six
thousand
fresh
souldiers
under
the
command
of
the
Field-marshall
Ranzaw
,
all
ready
in
battell
aray
,
to
fight
with
the
Caesareans
upon
the
first
opportunity
:
The
Imperiall
Army
made
on
to
their
journies
end
,
with
all
the
haste
they
could
,
they
passed
by
Montbelyard
,
and
Beffort
,
and
yet
but
only
summoned
them
,
threatning
the
Inhabitants
(
as
Gideon
did
Succoth
and
Penuell
)
but
not
with
the
like
successe
,
upon
their
returne
from
France
,
to
visit
them
.
But
their
haste
was
not
with
that
good
speed
it
was
pretended
,
for
the
Count
of
Suze
,
Governour
of
the
Country
thereabouts
,
stopped
the
Crabats
under
Isolani
,
which
marched
in
the
reare
,
cutting
off
the
Bridges
by
which
they
should
passe
,
and
skirmishing
with
him
by
the
space
of
foure
dayes
together
,
though
with
the
losse
of
his
Sarjeant
Rennovill
,
and
Montplaisier
,
one
of
his
Guard
,
(
which
were
slaine
by
the
Crabats
)
yet
with
gaine
of
two
hundred
and
fifty
prisoners
,
one
hundred
horse
,
and
many
Waggons
loaden
with
ammunition
.
Whilest
the
Cardinall
Valette
was
attending
with
his
Army
upon
the
designes
of
Gallas
,
Marange
a
rich
Town
in
Lorrain
,
taken
by
Roquespine
Lievetenat
Generall
to
the
Cardinall
Valette
.
Roquespine
his
Lievetenant
,
Governour
in
the
Town
and
Cittadell
of
Metz
,
and
the
Country
adjacent
,
seeing
that
the
Inhabitants
of
Marange
(
a
Town
then
subject
to
the
Spaniards
,
situate
betwixt
Metz
and
Theonvelle
,
)
did
not
only
much
oppresse
the
neighbouring
Villages
,
but
that
also
;
part
of
the
Garrison
of
Theonvelle
in
a
discontent
were
gone
thither
also
,
intending
to
plunder
the
Country
,
hee
resolved
to
prevent
them
,
esteeming
it
better
to
deale
with
an
Enemy
at
his
own
home
,
than
to
expect
his
comming
abroad
.
To
this
purpose
,
about
the
midst
of
September
hee
mustered
up
a
convenient
Army
,
about
nine
hundred
horse
and
foot
,
consisting
of
one
halfe
of
Bovillons
,
and
Bussy's
whole
Company
,
which
was
left
by
the
Cardinall
for
defence
of
the
Country
,
two
companies
of
light-horse
,
one
drawn
out
of
the
Garrison
,
and
another
raysed
by
the
Citizens
of
Metz
,
three
hundred
other
foot
,
part
of
his
own
souldiers
,
and
part
Citizens
,
and
with
these
hee
appeared
before
the
Towne
at
noone
day
,
striking
such
a
terror
into
the
presidiary
souldiers
,
that
they
instantly
left
their
out-works
,
and
retreated
into
the
Town
,
the
one
part
using
the
Church
which
was
strongly
built
,
the
other
a
strong
house
in
the
Town
,
as
Citadels
to
secure
them
from
the
Assailants
.
Men
in
danger
of
drowning
,
catch
at
every
Bulrush
,
and
are
like
Beasts
in
a
storme
,
which
runne
to
a
rotten
hedge
for
shelter
,
yet
finde
none
.
These
timerous
Soule
apprehended
some
hope
of
safety
by
those
stone
Wals
,
yet
were
plyed
so
close
by
the
French
souldiers
,
that
before
the
night
,
in
both
places
,
they
hung
out
a
white
Flag
,
and
yeelded
to
the
discretion
of
the
Conquerour
,
who
sent
the
most
part
packing
away
without
ransome
,
but
reserved
twenty
eight
of
the
principall
,
whom
hee
sent
prisoners
to
Metz.
It
was
an
atcheivement
;
though
not
of
a
glorious
appearance
,
yet
of
speciall
consequence
,
the
Villages
about
it
being
,
secured
from
further
spoyle
,
by
two
French
Companies
,
which
were
layd
in
Garrison
there
immediatly
after
it
was
taken
,
and
the
Town
it selfe
being
a
wealthy
one
,
affording
to
the
Souldiers
,
besides
much
rich
pillage
,
five
hundred
Hogsheads
of
Wine
,
and
great
quantity
of
Corne
for
provision
.
Culembach
the
Alman
Colonell
,
Two
regiments
of
Crabats
surprized
by
Col.
Culembach
whom
Duke
Bernhard
left
behinde
him
,
to
guard
the
passages
betwixt
Saverne
,
and
Hagenaw
,
about
the
same
time
surprized
two
Regiments
of
Crabats
,
which
Gallas
had
left
neere
Weissem-burg
with
Commission
and
charge
to
use
all
the
meanes
they
could
,
to
disturbe
the
garrison
and
Inhabitants
of
Hagenaw
.
Egger
the
Croatian
Colonell
commanded
both
the
Regiments
,
and
to
deale
with
him
in
plain
field
,
the
Alman
selected
one
thousand
Musquetiers
out
of
the
Garrison
which
he
joyned
with
his
own
Regiment
,
and
then
gave
him
battell
,
the
issue
whereof
was
crowned
with
conquest
,
the
gaine
of
seven
hundred
horses
,
many
Waggons
laden
with
baggage
,
and
other
good
booties
;
all
which
were
transported
by
the
Victor
to
Hagenaw
.
Montalont
Governour
for
the
Christian
King
in
Barroys
,
about
the
same
time
(
as
if
that
time
had
been
fatall
to
the
Grabats
,
and
fortunate
to
the
French
)
happened
upon
the
like
adventure
.
300
Crabats
surprised
by
Montalont
in
Barroys
.
Advice
was
brought
him
of
three
hundred
Crabats
which
were
met
in
a
wood
,
to
strengthen
their
bands
with
such
straglers
as
they
should
meet
withall
of
their
own
nation
,
and
afterward
were
to
have
their
Randevouz
at
Momplome
a
village
two
leagues
from
Bar.
To
surprize
this
crew
,
himselfe
attended
with
eighty
foot
,
partly
French
,
and
partly
Helvetians
;
and
fifty
horsemen
of
his
own
band
,
and
accompanied
with
the
Baron
of
Angluce
,
Captaine
of
the
Hungarian
horse
under
the
Regiment
of
the
grand
Master
of
the
Artillery
,
marched
all
night
to
discover
the
Enemy
,
yet
heard
no
newes
of
them
,
till
the
next
night
(
these
Reysters
not
using
to
continue
above
foure
in
place
)
and
then
understanding
that
they
were
retired
to
Montior
upon
Saut
,
thither
he
poasted
,
caused
his
Infantery
to
enter
the
village
,
and
assault
the
Crabats
in
their
lodgings
(
himselfe
with
the
horse-men
guarding
the
back-lanes
and
outgoings
of
the
village
)
which
they
did
so
suddenly
,
that
their
enemies
being
unarmed
,
could
not
defend
themselves
,
and
so
furiously
,
that
as
many
as
could
,
betook
them
to
their
heeles
,
thinking
to
save
themselves
by
flight
,
which
did
but
bring
them
from
the
talons
of
the
Hawk
to
the
Vulture
;
the
French
horsemen
making
slaughter
upon
all
the
fugitives
,
whilst
the
footmen
gave
quarter
to
them
which
begged
it
submissively
:
eighty
of
these
Crabats
were
slaine
by
the
Cavallary
upon
the
place
,
and
besides
the
slaine
,
ten
made
prisoners
of
warre
by
the
Infantery
,
amongst
which
was
the
Lievetenant
,
and
Cornet
of
the
Company
,
which
were
carried
captives
to
Barr
,
and
esteemed
as
good
prize
,
as
a
hundred
and
od
horses
,
which
were
gained
by
the
French
at
the
same
time
,
from
that
Enemy
.
In
this
attempt
,
a
French
Ensigne
was
slaine
from
a
window
,
as
he
was
pursuing
the
Captaine
of
the
Company
,
though
he
escaped
for
the
present
,
and
got
off
with
a
kinde
or
victory
,
carrying
with
him
as
a
captive
,
a
yong
gentleman
of
Barroys
,
yet
he
was
taken
the
next
day
by
the
Sieur
de
Mihell
,
father
to
the
youth
,
whose
former
griefe
for
the
losse
of
the
child
,
was
sweetned
with
a
double
comfort
;
the
surprizall
of
such
an
Enemy
as
was
rallying
up
the
small
number
which
escaped
,
meaning
with
them
to
plunder
the
Country
,
and
the
recovery
of
his
darling
son
.
The
Caesarean
and
French
Armies
about
the
same
time
,
The
French
&
Caesarians
several
Quarters
had
taken
up
their
severall
quarters
about
the
Frank
County
,
and
the
County
and
Dutchy
of
Burgundy
,
each
about
one
league
from
the
other
;
Gallas
and
his
retinue
neere
Champlite
,
Duke
Charles
about
Gray
,
the
Duke
of
Weymar
at
Monsavion
,
the
Cardinall
Valette
at
Cussey
,
and
the
Troops
of
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
commanded
by
the
Feeld-Marshall
Ranzaw
,
were
enquartered
,
betwix
the
Quarters
of
Duke
Bernhard
,
and
the
Cardinall
.
The
Imperiall
Generall
in
person
lodged
in
the
Priory
of
Champelite
,
two
leagues
from
Channite
,
where
Picolomint's
horse
were
lodged
,
his
own
foot
being
placed
about
the
Mountaines
betwixt
Champelite
and
Montelot
,
and
his
Cavallery
at
Rigin
,
and
thereabouts
:
Isolani
and
Forgats
with
their
Crabats
lay
at
Leffons
and
Ponyssons
,
Lamboy
at
Iussey
,
Colonell
Meuz
at
Mons
,
and
the
Marquesse
de
Grana
at
Meure
;
both
the
Armies
observing
their
severall
advantages
for
attempting
upon
the
other
,
either
by
surprizall
,
or
raysing
of
their
Camps
,
but
neither
of
them
putting
any
thing
as
yet
to
the
hazard
.
The
Caesareans
were
expected
to
have
made
the
first
attempt
,
as
comming
not
only
to
secure
the
Dukedome
of
Burgundy
,
and
the
Frank
County
,
from
the
French
,
but
to
invade
the
Kingdome
,
yet
stirred
not
,
till
hee
was
spurred
to
it
by
the
confederate
Generals
,
who
fell
first
foule
upon
,
and
provoked
him
to
seek
revenge
.
The
Cardinall
Valette
October
9
,
new
style
,
fell
upon
Isolani's
Quarter
at
Lessons
,
a
great
Town
in
the
Frank
County
,
choosing
the
silence
and
obscurity
of
the
night
to
conceale
his
march
thitherward
,
and
commanding
the
Fieldmarshall
Ranzaw
to
charge
the
one
part
of
the
Crabats
Quarter
,
whilest
himselfe
did
the
like
to
the
other
.
Night
was
secret
,
and
their
Guides
expert
and
faithfull
,
which
brought
them
a
little
before
day-light
to
the
place
designed
,
Isolani's
Quarter
raysed
by
D.
Berwh
.
&
the
Cardinall
de
Valette
.
and
then
they
gave
such
a
furious
Camisado
to
the
whole
Quarter
,
that
it
was
raysed
speedily
,
the
tents
burnt
,
three
hundred
Crabats
slaine
upon
the
place
,
and
the
most
part
which
escaped
were
wounded
,
and
put
to
their
heeles
;
one
thousand
two
hundred
horses
,
the
Waggons
for
the
Luggage
,
and
the
Officers
Caroaches
being
taken
from
them
,
and
amongst
the
rest
Isolani
his
owne
Caroach
,
in
which
was
found
his
chaine
of
gold
,
and
his
Ladyes
Monkey
.
Thus
I
finde
this
History
delivered
in
a
French
Extraordinary
,
though
nor
with
that
probability
of
truth
as
is
expressed
in
a
Letter
from
Duke
Bernhards
Camp
at
Monsavion
,
the
contents
whereof
follow
thus
briefly
:
The
two
Generals
having
framed
a
designe
for
the
raysing
of
the
Crabats
Quarter
at
Lessons
,
the
Cardinall
de
Valette
,
attended
with
the
Count
of
Guiche
conducted
thitherwards
one
thousand
five
hundred
horse
,
and
as
many
Musquetiers
,
all
which
were
layd
in
an
Ambuscado
by
the
way
.
The
D.
of
Weymar
,
who
had
that
afternoon
been
skirmishing
with
the
Enemy
,
to
no
other
end
but
to
make

at
Evening
,
and
marched
in
the

horse
,
of
his

,
on
the
side
of
the
French

which
were

the
Field

,
with
the
Prince

marched
on

the

and
putting

the

,
new
style
,
at
the
point
of
day
,
and
charged
upon
it
at
once
in
three
severall
places
.
The
Crabats
were
then
on
horseback
,
having
had
some
notice
of
the
French
designe
,
gave
an
alarm
to
Gallas
his
Camp
,
and
were
answered
thence
with
three
Canon
shot
,
as
a
signall
to
the
whole
Army
,
to
stand
upon
their
guard
,
and
keepe
good
order
.
But
the
French
prosecuting
this
beginning
,
charged
the
Crabats
againe
more
roughly
than
before
,
forced
them
to
a
disorderly
flight
,
pursued
them
to
the
gates
of
Champelite
,
which
being
kept
shut
against
the
fag-end
of
these
run-awaies
,
for
feare
lest
the
French
should
enter
pell-mell
with
them
,
exposed
above
100
of
them
to
the
sword
,
and
many
to
the
mercy
of
the
pursuers
,
who
by
this
time
were
ingaged
with
the
Avantguard
of
the
Imperiall
Army
,
consisting
of
eight
hundred
horse
,
and
beat
these
Caesareans
to
their
very
Palizadoes
,
with
some
slaughter
,
but
more
affrightment
,
many
of
the
Cavaliers
leaving
their
horses
to
save
themselves
,
upon
the
Mountain
,
where
the
Infantery
,
and
Ordinance
was
placed
,
others
posting
to
their
trenches
,
to
avoyd
the
blowes
which
they
met
withall
in
open
field
.
The
greatest
losse
fell
upon
the
Crabats
,
of
whom
three
hundred
were
slain
,
as
many
taken
prisons
,
which
lost
all
their
baggage
,
even
to
their
very
Tents
,
and
Huts
,
and
two
thousand
horses
,
to
the
great
advantage
of
the
French
Army
,
and
damage
of
theirs
,
who
living
ordinarily
by
roving
and
pillaging
,
were
deprived
of
their
horses
,
which
were
of
principall
use
in
those
expeditions
.
The
whole
losse
was
valued
at
more
than
one
hundred
thousand
crownes
,
befides
the
ransomes
of
the
Women
,
amongst
which
was
Isolani's
Mistresse
,
who
with
her
Caroach
and
six
horses
,
and
Plate
,
became
a
prize
to
the
Ritmaster
Schomborn

sixty
Musquetiers

were
appointed
to

the
siege

by
the
Imperialists
about

six
Companies

horse
,

a
Company
of
Carabins
,
and
foure
hundred
and
fity

were
drawn
out
of

by
this
French
Commander
,
who
ordered
the
light
horse
,
and
twenty
Masters
,
with
some
sew

to
assault
the

they
behaved
themselves
so
bravely
,
that
after
the
slaughter
of
six
,
and
captivating
tenne
others
,
they
chased
the
rest
into
a
Wood
betwixt
Solse

his
souldiers
,
which
lay
in
Ambush

beat
them
,
pursued
them
to

carried
the
booty
to

to
repaire

to
put
somthing
in
practice
against
the
confederate
Armies

some
places

And
yet
like
a
wise
Commander
,
that
would
not

desperately
,
hee
watched
his

causing
divers
reports
of
his
returne

bee
scattered
abroad

This

about

;
The

at

besieged

the
defendants
trusting
more
to
their

part
(

with
ease
)
broke
down

The
Combat
lasted
doubtfull
for
the
space
of
twelve
houres
,

then
the
defendants
oppressed
with
numbers
of
the
assaylants
,
were
forced
to
retire
to
the
Castle

place
fortified
only
with
a

being
not
flankered
,

hundreds

were
constrayned
to
capitulate

surrender
it

conditions

Secrecy
is
of
as
much
availe
in
an
Army
,
as
valour
.
The
confederate
Armies
as
yet
were
ignorant
of
the
Enemies
designe
,
Saint
Iohn
de
Loone
besieged
by
Gallas
and
remayned
in
their
own
Quarters
,
till
the
losse
of
Mirebeaw
(
and
that
was
not
till
three
dayes
afterward
)
was
reported
to
the
Cardinall
,
and
then
the
Imperialists
being
upon
a
new
designe
against
St.
Iohn
de
Loone
,
a
small
town
upon
the
Some
,
consisting
of
about
three
hundred
families
,
and
distant
from
Chaloon
about
five
French
,
ten
English
miles
,
the
united
Armies
made
after
them
.
A
strong
suspition
the
French
and
their
Allies
had
,
that
Saint
Iean
de
Loone
was
the
next
place
,
Before
it
was
known
to
the
French
armies
at
which
the
Caesareans
aymed
,
being
induced
hereunto
by
the
menaces
which
the
Imperiall
forces
had
given
out
against
it
,
but
were
not
assured
of
it
till
October
31
,
new
style
,
at
which
time
a
generall
report
of
the
siege
arrived
at
the
Camp
,
and
that
being
seconded
by
a
particular
relation
of
the
day
,
and
manner
of
the
siege
,
confirmed
them
to
beleeve
that
which
before
they
only
suspected
.
A
Souldier
of
the
Train-band
of
the
County
,
having
scowted
about
the
Imperiall
Army
,
was
sent
that
day
by
Machant
his
Captain
to
inform
the
Generals
with
the
summe
of
his
discovery
.
The
heads
of
his
report
were
these
:
That
October
12/28
in
the
morning
the
enemies
had
surrounded
Saint
Iohn
de
Loone
.
That
the
Garrison
in
two
sallyes
had
slain
threescore
of
the
asseegers
and
brought
ten
prisoners
into
the
Town
(
amongst
which
was
the
Lievetenant
of
the
Horse
,
which
with
threats
affrighted
the
Town
with
a
strong
and
strait
siege
)
and
had
beaten
the
Imperialists
from
their
Quarter
at
Saint
Vsage
.
That
the
Garrison
at
the
first
consisting
of
eight
Companies
of
the
Trainband
belonging
to
the
County
,
was
diminished
by
the
Pest
to
the
one
halfe
,
Saint
Point
the
Commander
being
also
extremely
sick
of
the
disease
,
and
yet
were
resolved
to
stand
it
out
to
the
last
man
:
the
inhabitants
able
to
beare
Armes
(
being
about
the
number
of
two
hundred
)
first
decreeing
that
whosoever
should
talk
of
capitulation
,
should
be
cast
into
the
River
,
and
then
concluding
,
rather
to
fire
the
Town
,
if
they
could
not
keep
it
,
than
render
it
upon
any
tearmes
to
the
Caesareans
,
that
so
they
might
prevent
his
spoyles
,
and
keep
the
viands
therein
from
him
.
Each
word
was
truth
.
The
Imperiall
Army
marching
from
Mirebeau
October
15/25
16/26
17/27
,
passed
the
Rivers
of
Beze
,
Tilly
,
and
Ousche
,
with
much
hazard
and
inconvenience
,
and
the
next
day
appeared
before
the
Town
,
The
Towne
summoned
.
sommoning
it
with
a
Trumpet
to
yeeld
to
the
Earle
of
Gallas
,
as
the
Imperiall
Generall
,
the
King
of
Spayn
,
and
the
Duke
of
Lorrain
,
a
Cavalier
seconding
the
Trumpet
,
and
telling
the
Officers
upon
the
wall
,
that
unlesse
they
shewed
their
obedience
speedily
,
they
should
be
beleaguerd
with
an
Army
of
forty
thousand
men
,
and
batterd
with
twenty
six
peeces
of
Canon
.
The
Garrison
returned
no
answer
,
but
prepared
for
defence
,
and
the
Caesareans
for
battery
.
Three
dayes
were
spent
by
the
beseegers
in
raysing
of
mounts
and
preparation
for
battery
,
without
any
shew
of
open
hostility
,
save
only
that
daily
summons
were
sent
by
Drums
and
Trumpets
for
their
surrendring
;
and

were

Battered

that
violent
thunder
being
thought
more
availeable
for

conquest
,
than

Rhetorick
.
A
Consultation
was
held
in
the
meane
time
by
the
Prince
of
Conde
,
Duke
Bernhard
,
and
the
Cardinall
,
for
releefe
of
the
Town
,

in

Ranzaw
the
Fieldmarshall
with
the
men
at

belonging
to

of
the
Regiment
of

Cavallery
of
Anguyen
his
own
Horse-men
,
and
seven
or
eight
hundred
Musquetiers
,
was
sent
to
succour
it
.
His
Expedition
commenced
the
same
day
the
Enemy
began
his
batteries
,
and
(
though
with
much
hardinesse
the
foot
wading
in
water
up
to
the
neck
,
and
some
losse
,
ten
of
his
Cavalliers
being
drowned
)
hee
past
that
day
over
the
Tille
,
arrived
the
next
morning
by
seven
of
the
clock
to
Auxonne
a
city
upon
the
Sone
,
distant
from
Saint
Iohn
de
Loone
ten
leagues
,
where
hee
was
furnished
with
victuals
for
his
army
,
and
boats
to
ferry
down
his
men
,
and
thence
hee
sent
a
little
Barge
with
six
Oares
to
enforme
the
beseeged
of
his
auxiliary
forces
.
Danger
and
hope
presented
themselves
together
to
the
beseeged
.
The
Imperiall
Army
hearing
of
Ranzaw's
approach
,
November
3
,
new
style
,
played
upon
the
Town
incessantly
with
eight
Peeces
of
Canon
,
from
break
of
day
till
three
in
the
afternoon
,
and
then
drew
out
two
main
Battalions
into
the
meadow
,
the
one
whereof
was
sent
against
a
small
breach
which
their
Canon
had
made
in
the
wall
;
the
other
against
the
Terras
at
the
Dijon
Gate
,
a
weak
peece
,
defended
only
by
one
Horn-work
,
and
without
other
fortification
.
Sixty
Musquetiers
were
brought
into
the
Town
the
day
before
from
Bellegarde
,
Releeved
,
and
the
siege
raised
.
and
the
Townsmen
and
Garrison
animated
with
these
small
succours
,
resolved
to
meet
the
Caesareans
at
the
severall
places
,
and
to
adventure
their
lives
for
defence
of
the
Burgh
.
The
assaylants
at
the
breach
came
on
courageously
,
and
the
defendants
stood
to
their
tacklings
as
manfully
;
the
very
women
with
a
masculine
spirit
comming
in
to
releeve
the
wearied
men
,
bringing
materials
to
repaire
the
breach
,
and
hurling
stones
and
whatever
came
next
to
hand
,
fury
supplying
them
with
weapons
to
offend
the
Enemy
.
The
valour
of
the
defendants
and
the
unfitnesse
of
the
gap
for
an
assault
,
the
wall
yet
standing
firme
twelve
foot
high
,
made
the
assaulters
recoyle
,
who
seeing
their
attempt
if
not
desperate
,
extremely
dangerous
,
could
not
be
induced
by
the
words
and
strokes
of
their
Commanders
to
renew
their
adventure
,
and
go
on
againe
.
The
Terras
was
in
more
danger
,
and
thither
upon
the
retreat
of
the
Imperialists
,
the
most
part
of
them
which
were
designed
to
make
good
the
gap
,
hasted
to
help
their
copartners
,
and
their
comming
was
so
happy
,
that
the
Battalion
there
seeing
a
new
accrew
of
opposers
certified
,
and
their

of

was
this
:
The

marched
in

,
his

following
,
attended
with
the
English
,
Scots
,

,
the

yet
were
plundered
by
the
Spaniards
,
who
had
the
absolute
command
in
that
expedition
.
The
day
was
somewhat
omminous
to
both
sides
;
a
selected
Company
of
the

garrison
in
Bergen-op-zome
made
out
toward
Herentals
for
pillage

and
without
an

of
an

,
tooke
90.

beasts
and
drove
them
towards
Bergen
,
when
suddenly
the
cry
of
the
Boores
,
whose
livelyhood
depended
upon
the
profit
of
their
cattell
,
overtooke
them
,
and
then
the
souldiers
which
more
respected
their
coine
then
their
beasts
,
suffered
the
poore
people
to
redeeme
them
for
a
summe
of
money
.
This
was
but
a
small
thing
,
and
of
no
comparison
with
the
better
fortunes
with
which

the
discharging

,
they
hasted
towards

,
being
followed
by

with
an
assurance

But
the
haste

them
was
to
their
owne
losse
,
they
were
suddenly
so
farre
ingaged
,
that
they
could
not
returne
;
The
Cavaliers
which
seemed
to
flye
,
made
a
stand
,
gave
a

to

a

of

with
Herwerden
,
by
name
La
Motte
a
Walloon
,
and
Captaine
of
a
Fregate
under
the
States
,
who
being
taken
by
the
Dunkerks
,
and
clapt
in
prison
,
plotted
a
way
to
betray
the
towne
to
the
Spaniard
,
and
promised
to
performe
it
,
upon
condition
of
his
enlargement
.
His
project
was
thus
carried
.
The
Fregate
,
in
which
he
commanded
formerly
,
being
restored
to
him
,
and
armed
with
a
100
men
,
he
sayled
towards
Calais
,
where
another
Fregate
of
Dunkerke
charged
onely
with
foure
great
peeces
,
but
well
furnished
with
Pistols
,
and
engines
for
fire-workes
,
was
to
attend
him
,
according
to
his
owne
direction
.
The
treason
had
beene
too
palpable
,
if
these
Bottomes
appertained
to
professed
enemies
,
at
the
first
should
have
greeted
each
other
friendly
,
and
the
States
sea-men
which
were
in
the
vessell
being
restored
with
him
to
liberty
,
might
have
discerned
his
jugling
,
if
there
a
mist
had
not
beene
cast
before
their
eyes
,
to
conceale
his
Leger-demaine
.
To
carry
it
therefore
clearely
,
he
made
some
apparance
of
hostility
,
haled
the
Dunkerker
,
which
making
a
shew
as
if
he
meant
to
fight
,

put
up
his
wast-cloathes
,
and
having
made
small
or
no
resistance
,
yeelded
to
the
Vlissinguer
,
(
yet
he
was
so
reputed
)
immediatly
.
This
done
,
he
writes
to
his
friends
at
Vlissingen
of
his
prize
,
tells
them
that
he
expected
two
other
Frigates
which
were
comming
from
Dunkerke
loaden
with
the
like
charge
of
Armes
,
and
that
he
hoped
very
speedily
,
to
bring
them
all
in
triumph
into
that
habour
.
The
Statish
Seamen
began
presently
after
the
supposed
prize
,
to
resent
the
action
.
The
Dunkerkers
whom
he
had
taken
by
his
feigned
fight
,
were
taken
into
his
owne
vessell
,
and
used
not
as
prisoners
,
but
friends
and
confederates
,
engaged
in
the
same
action
;
The
Zealanders
which
were
still
aboard
that
Fregate
(
the
major
part
being
removed
into
the
Dunkerker
)
began
to
whisper
to
each
other
,
that
their
Captaines
words
,
and
actions
did
not
resemble
each
other
,
and
the
Captaine
whose
jealous
eare
,
was
listening
to
their
private
conferences
,
perceiving
that
his
plot
was
revealed
,
caused
the
Dunkerkers
to
fall
upon
those
with
the
sword
whom
he
suspected
to
have
smelt
out
his
designe
,
and
being
by
their
assistance
cleared
of
that
societie
,
and
assured
of
the
rest
,
he
returnes
to
the
Port
of
Dunkerke
,
his
owne
ship
being
covered
with
the
sayles
,
that
it
might
not
be
discovered
whence
it
was
.
Here
,
hee
loaded
his
owne
ship
with
Dunkerkish
souldiers
,
and
sayled
thence
to
Ostend
,
where
2000.
other
Spanish
souldiers
,
were
embarqued
in
sixe
severall
Bottomes
to
attend
him
,
two
dayes
before
his
comming
thither
,
the
harbour
,
and
the
gates
of
the
Citie
,
having
beene
kept
lockt
up
,
by
that
space
of
time
,
to
keepe
the
adventure
private
.
All
this
while
the
irons
were
but
heating
,
now
was
the
time
when
they
must
be
formed
upon
the
Anvlle
;
The
maine
of
the
designe
was
hitherto
concealed
from
his
confederates
;
the
Admirall
Colart
knew
not
of
it
,
but
in
generals
,
but
now
being
ingaged
in
the
action
,
he
was
made
acquainted
with
the
particulars
,
which
were
,
that
hee
would
bring
in
two
of
his
Frigats
into
the
old
Port
and
send
the
other
two
into
the
new
one
at
Vlissingen
,
and
by
these
vessels
,
keepe
them
open
,
till
the
Admirall
was
entred
with
the
rest
,
by
whose
united
forces
,
And
suspected
by
Colart
of
a
double
treason
is
imprisoned
at
Dunkerke
.
he
doubted
not
to
bring
the
secure
City
to
the
Spaniards
command
.
The
Admirall
listened
to
his
story
,
and
seeming
not
to
apprehend
him
fully
,
desired
him
to
goe
into
Ostend
with
him
,
and
that
there
they
would
conferre
further
upon
the
designe
.
But
the
Admiralls
intendment
was
otherwise
,
he
suspected
all
the
Captaines
discourse
to
be
like
Sinons
tale
,
and
that
he
meant
not
to
deliver
the
City
to
the
hand
of
the
Dunkerkers

but
that
he
meant
to
deliver
the
Dunkerkers
into
the
power
of
the
Vlushingers
,
and
having
got
him
to
shore
,
arrested
him
of
a
double
treason
,
sent
him
to
Dunkerk
,
and
clapt
him
in
irons
,
wisely
considering
,
that
the
Protean
condition
of
a
traytor
will
conforme
it selfe
to
all
advantages
,
and
that
he
which
will
make
no
bones
to
play
false
with
his
old
friends
,
can
giue
no
assurance
of
remaining
firme
to
his
new
alliance
.
Thus
the
linkes
of
this
project
falling
in
peeces
of
themselues
,
the
Vlushingers
were
ridde
of
that
present
danger
before
they
knew
it
,
yet
soone
after
it
came
to
their
notice
,
and
then
they
doubled
their
guards
,
and
kept
a
strong
watch
upon
their
harbours
,
to
secure
the
City
against
such
kinds
of
unkind
undertakers
.
The

was
the
onely
thing
the
United

were
now
jealous
of
,
but
the
vigilancy
of
the
Prince
of

,
The

when
the

,
cleared

time
both
