happy
in
a
mediocrity
of
Fortune
,
if
he
can
content
himselfe
with
having
what
is
necessary
and
sufficient
.
A
Prince
by
seeking
to
enlarge
his
Territories

not

always
increaseth
his

his

called
by

in
a
Peninsula

about
15
English
miles
in

of
a
triangular
forme

bounded
with
rocks
on
the
one
side

50000

and
promising
him
a
yeerly
pension
of
6000
to
betray
it
,
and
in

finding
his
loyalty

Generall

His
batteries
began
with
his
entrenching
,
but
they
were
like
the
gentle
distillations
of
some
few
drops
of
rain
before
a
violent
storm
,
or
the
noyse
of
the
gliding
,
purling
rivolets
at
the
Spring-head

to
the
roaring
falls
of

of
what
ensued
after

La
Palme
,
and
so
blockt
up
the
way
from
Bordeaux
,
and
then
played
from
all
his
batteries
upon
the
besieged
Citadell
incessantly
(
the
besieged
in
the
space
of
30
days
,
which
the
Spanish
forces
lay
before
the
place
,
having
taken
precise
notice
(
upon
an
exact
account
)
of
17000

)
in
the
mean
time
,
making
the
best
use
he
could
of
his
Morteren
and
Grenadoes
,
which
did
the
defendants
farre
more
harme
then
his
Ordnance
.
The
Governour
had
set
up
his
rest
,
resolved
to
die
,
before
hee
would
surrender
a
piece
of
such
importance
to
his
Masters

,
his
own
company
of
men
at
Armes
,
and
his

,
which
divided
by
him
into

,
the
time
and
place
of
the
Generall
Randevouz
,
marched
the
day
following
to
Sigean
,
where
they
lay
enquartered
that
night
,
and
the
night
following
,
attending
till
such
store
of
amunition
and
victuals
were
brought
in
,
as
were
thought
necessary
for
that
expedition
.
It
was
then
upon
the
nick
when
the
French
Duke
came
in
with
his
Army
to
succour
the
besieged
,
the
Spanish
Gunners
had
made
a
sufficient
breach
in
the
wall
,
to
try
the
courage
and
manhood
of
the
defendants
by
assault
.
The
Duke
of
Cardonne
Viceroy
of
Catalognia's
sonne
was
come
to
the
Campe
,
and
had
re-enforced
de
Serbellon
,
began
to
be
confident
of
the
prize
,
rode
upon
his
Male
about
the
Camp
,
to
give
directions
,
promised
the
young
Don
to
shew
him
a
fresh
battery
,
the
next
day
opposite
to
the
place
,
upon
which
he
had
before
played
with
his
Canon
,
and
both
by
gesture
and
posture
,
word
,
and
work
,
expressed
a
certain
assurance
of
a
speedy
and
notable
victory
.
But
let
not
him
,
that
is
putting
on
his
arms
,
brag
as
if
he
was
putting
them
off
.
The
chance
of
warre
,
is
of
all
other
most
uncertain
,
and
here
if
any
where
,
we
may
averre
:
Nescis
quid
serus
vehat
vesper
.
Discretion
looks
about
,
before
it
undertakes
an
adventure
.
The
Duke
of
Halwein
for
all
this
apparance
of
imminent
perill
to
the
besieged
,
went
not
on
to
succour
Sigean
,
Sept.
14/24
,
where
he
lay
encamped
,
the
other
in
the
plain
of
Lawcate
foure
dayes
after
.
The
conclusion
of
the
first
consultation
was
that
Argencour
,
de
Boissat
,
to
beat
these
discoverers
back
,
which
charge
(
fortune
waiting
upon
his
valour
)
he
performed
so
happily
,
that
he
forced
them
to
retreat
,
one
part
into
their
trenches
,
and
another
by
the
Lake
de
Salses
,
towards
the
way
of
Spaine
.
All
these
actions
were
but
the
Proscoenia
of
the
Spanish
The
houre
drew
on
,
and
then
after
instructions
to
Arme
,
the
Duke
made
a
short
oration
to
his
souldiers
to
encourage
them
to
fight
for
the
King
,
the
Country
,
their
wives
,
childrens
,
and
their
owne
liberty
,
warned
to
be
ready
upon
the
sound
of
the
trumpets
,
selected
Mayola
,
who
by
his
presence
had
encouraged
the
workmen
,
would
also
be
the
first
relator
of
this
successe
,
posted
backe
to
the
Duke
,
told
him
what
was
done
,
and
the
Duke
who
longed
after
such
tidings
,
Went
on
immediately
in
the
head
of
his
Army
,
not
staying
to
give
them
a
charge
by
word
of
mouth
,
with
an
Ite
,

you
,
like
a
faint-hearted
Commander
,
but
like
a
daring
leader
,
declaring
a
Venite
,
come
and
follow
me
,
by
his
exemplary
action
.
The
places
appointed
for
the
sive
severall
assaults
,
and
the
Commanders
which
were
to
manage
them
were
these
.
The
first
place
,
was
at
the
Bridge
upon
the
mouth
of
the
Salt-Lake
,
the

whereof
was
committed
to
S.

Muskettiers
,
horsemen
of
Tholouza●
under
the
Lord
de
Calvet
,
Treasurer
of
France
.
The

was
upon
the
sea
shore
,
at
the
Port
Franqui
,
Ionquieres
,
Cauvisson
,
and
the

friends
and

one

the
Kings
Lieutenants
in
Languedock
,
and
by
a
company
of
men
at
Armes
,
consisting
of
50
Masters
.
Betwixt
these
two
places
,
on
the
right
hand
of
the
regiment
of
Languedock
,
a
third
place
was
committed
to
the
trust
and
valour
of
the
Lord
S.
Andrew
,
and
the
military
bonds
of
Nismes
and
Castres
,
who
was
to
be
seconded
by
the
Duke
of
Halewins
company
of
men
at
Armes
,
which
were
to
be
backed
with
60
voluntiers
,
and
a
troope
of
horse
under
the
command
of
the
Lord
de
Magalas
.
The
fourth

deputed
to

,
who
with
his

regiment
,
and
the

the
Count
d'
Aubyoux
,
who
commanded
the
white
Cornet
of
100
Gentlemen
,
the
Marquesse
of
Mirepois
,
following
him
with
50
others
of
the
same
quality
,
and
the
Lord
of
Monsoleus
,
who
marched
after
the
Marquesse
with
60
men
at
Armes
of
his
owne
name
,
and
kindred
,
was
upon
S.
Andrewes
right
hand
,
and
the
last
upon
Castelans
right
hand
,
committed
to
the
regiment
of
Vitrye
;
in
the
head
whereof
marched
Clermont
Vertilliard
,
the
Field-marshall
,
seconded
by
a
body
of
Infantery
,
commanded
by
Murveill
,
and
that
by
another
,
under
the
direction
of
the
Lord
de
Vallat
,
all
by
the
men
of
Armes
belonging
to
the
Duke
d'
Halewin
,
and
two
other
companies
,
under
two
other
Commanders
.
All
the
Army
was
not
to
be
engaged
at
once

In
this
order
,
upon
a
signall
given
by
the
discharge
of
4
Cannons
,
the
French
Army
marched
up
to
the
Spanish
trenches
,
and
began
a
doubtfull
battell
,
both
parties
fighting
couragiously
,
and
victory
hovering
over
both
the
Armies
,
without
any
remonstrance
,
where
she
would
pitch
.
The
Spaniards
in
the
beginning
seemed
her
favourites
,
the
French
Commanders
and
souldiers
,
Quis
cladem
illius
noctis
?
the
slaughter
of
men
that
night
cannot
be
recorded
without
expression
of
some
compassion
.
Cynthia
stood
looking
on
till
the
rocky
mountainous
field
,
rough
by
nature
,
appeared
more
uneven
by
heapes
of
slaine
men
,
and
horses
which
covered
the
earth
,
till
those
hils
which
had
bin
so
often
courted
of
Neptune
,
who
by
her
assistance
,
had
oft
raised
his
curly
head
above
the
shore
,
appeared
an
Aceldama
,
a
field
of
blood
:
the
French
not
without
some
noted
losse
having
got
the
victory
,
(
some
of
their
chiefe
Commanders
having
purchased
it
with
their
lives
,
(
all
the
rest
with
sore
wounds
)
and
slaine
far
more
Spaniards
upon
the
place
,
and
then
she
hid
her
head
under
the
earth
,
as
unwilling
to
see
that
horrid
confusion
,
and
so
determined
the
battell
.
The
adaequate
object
of
wisedome
is

facienda

&
vitanda

things
to
be
undertaken
,
and
avoyded
.
Both
the
Armies
had
encountred
with
hazards
and
difficulties
to
avoyd
de
Salses
.
The
other
part
went
to
risle
the
Spanish
Campe
,
where
they
found
a
booty
beyond
common
beliefe
,
and
their
owne
expectation
.
Serbellons
,
and
all
the
officers
tents
stood
whole
,
their
Plate
was
unremoved
,
which
with
their
beds
and
utensils
remained
to
the
victors
,
who
also
seysed
of
the
Generals
Mule
,
Coat
,
and
staffe
of
office
,
and
sent
them
to
the
King
as
a
trophee
of
the
victory
.
But
this
was
not
all
the
prey
,
which
befell
to
the
Conquerors
.
The
night
Newes
of
this
victory
was
brought
to
the
King
at
Vive

Roy
,
testifying
their
affections
,
and
sincere
love
to
his
Majestie

Such
is
the
condition
of
a
true
souldier
,
an
affront
by
his
Friends
,
an
open
desertion
of
his
Allies

cannot
so
much
abate
his
spirit

to
make
him
lay
down

come
in

him

The

,
and
the
miserable
devastation
of
Towres
,
the
Metropolis
of
Turena
upon
the
Loire
,
by
a
strange
sudden
tempest
,
much
disturbed
him
.
The
dammage
at
Tours
was
unevitable
,
it
proceeded
La
Rich
,
which
had
not
a
chimney
left
standing
,
nor
a
piece
of
the
roofe
to
couer
it
,
not
sparing
the
Churches
;
S.
Julians
besides
the
shattered
windowes
,
having
one
of
the
steeples
laid
flat
to

,

the
other
broke
off
in

:

of

,
with
so
much
more
losse
,
as
cannot
well
be
repaired
with
one
hundred
thousand
French
crownes
.
This
was
the
progresse
,
yet
the
end
was
more
wonderfull
both
in
its
time
of
duration
,
and
the
bounds
of
the
tempest
.
It
was
supposed
to
be
raised
by
some
damned
Sorcerer
,
who
by
the
assistance
of
the
Prince
of
the
ayre
had
caused
this
outrage
.
The
instrument
of
this
desolation
was
limited
both
to
time
,
place
,
and
persons
;
the
time
lasted
not
above
halfe
a
quarter
of
an
houre
:
the
Hericano
,
(
so
we
may
call
it
,
though
the
true
one
was
never
seene
in
Europe
)
did
not
dilate
it selfe
beyond
the
City
,
and
the
Southerne
banks
of
the
Loyre
,
where
it
rent
up
some
few
trees
,
nor
killed
any
,
save
only
two
men
,
which
in
a
kinde
of
diffidence
in
the
divine
providence
,
were
going
to
shelter
themselves
in
the
Tower
S.
Hugon
,
their
eyes
having
beheld
that
strong
place
cast
down
by
the
violence
of
the
storme
before
their
deaths
,
the
supreame
Majesty
reading
a
lecture
to
us
all
by
their
destruction
,
when
they
sought
for
preservation
,
that
the
assured
meanes
of
temporall
safety
are
not
in
our
election
;
and
that
it
is
meere
vanity
to
oppose
his
omnipotency
.
His
Majesties
troubles

the
mutinous
rebels
,
were
Jack
Straw
,
Cade
,

Wat
Tyl●r

formerly

ringleaders
in
such
insurrections
,
and
now
Buffara
,
a
Weaver
in
Perigot
,
overshooting
his
shuttle
,
would
be
a
stickler
in
state
businesse
,
and
convoking
some
peasants
,
men
of
desperate
fortunes
,
and
more
desperate
mindes
,
by
an
heape
of
words
,
ill
couched
,
but
plausibly
uttered
,
spake
thus
unto
them
.
Is
there
any
difference
betwixt
the
King
and
us
?
we
have
the
shape
of
men
as
well
as
he
.
His
greatnesse
is
supported
by
us
,
whose
shoulders
must
beare
the
heavy
weight
of
all
his
impositions
,
if
we
will
continue
in
subjection
to
that
too
grievous
a
burden
.
There
is
scarse
one
of
us
,
but
may
know
the
sweetnesse
of
liberty
;
wee
have
bin
apprentices
,
or
hired
servants
,
and
then
feeling
the
scourge
of
our
masters
over
us
,
we
desired
to
be
our
owne
men
,
the
expiration
of
some
few
yeares
,
delivered
us
from
that
servitude
,
and
we
rejoyced
in
that
liberty
:
But
what
got
we
thereby
?
A
slavery
far
above
the
former
:
while
we
lived
with
our
Masters
,
their
purses
bore
our
charges
,
we
neither
cared
for
house-rent
,
nor
parish
duties
,
we
did
our
worke
,
tooke
our
ordinary
repasts
and
rest
,
not
caring
for
the
morrow
.
Now
we
are
Masters
,
but
worse
slaues
then
formerly
;
we
carke
and
labour
,
sit
up
late
,
and
rise
early
,
and
hardly
can
maintaine
our
families
,
yet
must
be
taxed
with
such
burthens
,
as
we
cannot
support
to
maintaine
a
warre
,
undertaken
for
pleasure
,
not
profit
to
the
Kingdome
.
The
King
hath
provoked
an
enemy
,
with
whom
hee
might
have
had
peace
,
and
Wee
must
suffer
for
it
.
We
see
the
Frontiers
of
this
Kingdome
invaded
,
the
Spaniard
hath
got
some
footing
in
Guyenne
,
Languedock
,
Province
,
and
Picardie
,
it
is
to
be
thought
he
will
goe
on
,
and
if
we
meane
to
save
our selves
,
wee
must
not
appeare
in
the
Kings
behalfe
,
and
if
wee
meane
to
enjoy
our
states
,
wee
must
take
up
Armes
,
and
oppose
the
Kings
officers
,
that
pursue
us
with
their
exactions
.
I
crave
your
resolutions
,
and
as
many
as
will
assent
unto
me
,
let
them
fling
up
their
caps
,
and
cry
liberty
.

the

besieged
by
the
D.
which
he
rounded
with
his
army
the
same
day
,
but
not
without
opposition
of
the
Garrison
,
which
played
upon
him
from
the
Castle
,
and
wounded

The

was
imployed
all
night
to
plant
a
battery
against
the
Citadell
,
whiles
the
labourers
,
and
some
ordinary
souldiers
were
sent
to
get
bavins
to
fill
up
the
two
ditches
about
the
Fort

both
which
did
their
parts
so
carefully
,
that
by
break
of
day
,
the
great
Ordnance
began
to
thunder
,
the
pioners
had
filled
up
the
outward
ditch
with
faggots

A
worse
Fate
attended
a
neighbouring
City
Lion

Saulnier
,
then
befell
the
Castle
,
it
was
a
place
late
of
eminence

by
the
French

in

County

the
salt

adjoyning
yielding
a
good

revenew
to
the
inhabitants
,
and
they
again
adorning
the
place
with
goodly
edifices
,
testimonies
of
their
wealthinesse
.
Now
it
must
both
change
its
Lord
,
and
lose
its
splendor
.
Iune
14/24
,
the
Duke
went
in
person
to
survey
it
,
and
the
same
day
begirt
it
with
all
his
power
.
The
Garrison
defended
it
well
,
whiles
it
was
theirs
,
and
when
they
could
not
hold
it
,
ruined
it
.
The
French
got
it
by
piecemeal
,
first
,
the
cloyster
of
the
Capuchins
,
then
the
Suburbs
of
Saint
Desire
,
and
the
town
afterwards
;
yet
we
cannot
properly
say
they
got
it
,
though
the
Spaniard
lost
it
,
unlesse
the
Spaniards
losse
may
be
called
their
gain
;
the
Garrison
as
it
gave
ground
,
Yet
though
the
Duke
could
not
then
take
that
Castle
,
two
others
the
same
day
became
subject
to
the
Count
de
Guebriant
,
Lievtenant
Generall
to
the
Duke
of
Rohan
,
who
that
very
day
came
up
with
his
Forces
to
the
Army
,
by
the
way
took
in
another
in
the
same
vicinage
.
Mutuall
salutations
were
scarce
passed
,
betwixt
the
Duke
the
Generall
,
and
Guebriant
the
Field-marshall
,
when
the
Towne
and
Castle
of
Montaigne
sited
on
an
hill
,
in
the
view
of
Lion
de
Saulnier
,
presented
it selfe
to
the
Counts
eye
.
An
active
spirit
apprehends
each
occasion
to
be
doing
:
The
Count
though
he
could
not
but
be
weary
of
his
late
march
,
expressed
a
kind
of
impatience
de
Guebriant
.
in
his
looks
,
till
he
might
come
to
action
;
acquainted
the
Duke
with
his
purpose
against
Montagne
,
and
the
Duke
as
forward
to
give
way
to
the
designe
,
as
the
Field-marshall
was
to
undertake
it
,
gave
him
licence
to
use
his
forcé
there
without
tying
him
to
conditions
.
The
Count
marched
against
it
,
and
carryed
the
towne
,
though
the
Commander
tracing
the
steps
of
Rimcourt
,
intended
to
fire
it
,
and
in
the
end
the
Castle
upon
Covenants
,
that
the
Peasants
which
surmounted
above
the
number
of
100
,
who
were
in
the
Fort
,
should
yield
upon
discretion
:
and
the
souldiers
with
their
armes
,
without
baggage
,
should
have
convoy
to
some
place
of
the
Catholike
King
,
which
being
not
specified
,
were
sent
to
Perpignan
.
Matters
of
danger
,
not
despair
,
are
the
true
objects
of
valour
:
Every
vertue
is
tied
to
Rules
;
and
bounded
with
limits
not
to
be
transgressed
,
the
extremes
alter
all
goodnesse
,
if
they
be
pitched
upon
:
courage
loseth
its
merited
honour
,
if
wilfulnesse
and
unguided
petulancy
overbear
it
:
a
well
grounded
reason
,
without
prejudice
to
a
mans
honour
,
may
justly
countermand
a
rash
and
inconsiderate
resolution
.
It
had
bin
dishonourable
for
Rimecourt
to
yield
upon
the
first
summons
,
and
to
hold
out
,
it
was
almost
impossible
.
Nor
could
the
assaylant
enforce
him
,
but
by
famine
,
nor
his
friends
relieve
him
if
it
should
have
come
to
that
exigent
.
The
place
was
pent
up
with
numbers
of
souls
within
it
,
the
strait
confines
of
a
Castle
scarce
could
containe
his
souldiers
amounting

tribute

Pharaohs

Kine
presented
themselves
daily
before

the
people
began
to
cry
out
for
bread
,
a
morsell
would
have
contented
them
,
which
before
fared
delicately
every
day
,
and
were
not
pleased
without
variety
of
dainty
dishes
:
Relieve
them
hee
could
not
but
by
an
hard
purchase
of
their
liberty
,
nor
be
eased
of
their
clamours
,
but
by
absenting
himselfe
from
them
,
and
that
could
not
be
archieved
without
the
assent
of
his
Enemy
,
and
therfore
he
rather
resolved
to
buy
his
quiet
upon
hard
covenants
,
then
endure
that
vexation
,
which
otherwise
must
necessarily
pursue
him
.
Capitalate
he
would
,
and
upon
any
termes
surrender
,
and
capitulate
hee
did
,
and
surrendred
upon
a
strange
Article
,
which
though
in
the
Generals
it
savoured
of
providence
,
was
a
plain
evidence
,
that
harder
termes
would
have
bin
accepted
,
if
they
had
bin
required
,
viz.
a
convoy
for
the
Garrison
to
any
of
his
Catholike
Majesties
townes
,
which
the
Duke
accepted
,
imbarqued
them
in
so
many
Bottoms
,
as
were
required

transportation

and
carried
them
down

Christian
King

.
The
Fort
of
Savigny
in
the
Province
of
Bresse
,
made
some
resistance
,
and
detained
him
some
few
days
:
The
Spaniard
had
got
it
by
his
puissance
the
yeer
before
,
and
would
not
let
it
go
without
knocks
;
A
private
man
is
more
tenacious
of
what
he
hath
got
by
his
own
industry
,
then
what
descends
unto
him
by
inheritance
:

,

The
others
places
descended
to
the

,
by

,
this
was
purchased
with
bloud
,
and
nought

could
redeem

,
and
then
after
blows
both
given

taken
,
was
constrained
to
yield
,
upon
condition
that
the
Garrison
consisting
of
200
men
should
be
convayed
to
such
one
of
the
Catholike
Kings
townes
,
as
it
should
please
the
French
Generall
.
It
is
no
happinesse
to
be
possessed
of
much
,
if
there
be
no
use
to
be
made
thereof
.
The
Castle
of
Savigne
opened
her
gates
to
let
the
French
in

as
yet
they
durst
not

themselves

the
Spandards
were
gone
,
but
left
a
more
dangerous
foe
behinde
them
:
the
ayre
was
infected
with
pestilent
exhalations
threatning
an
unavoidable
destruction
,
to
as
many
as
should
dare
to
draw
breath
there
:
To
make
it
securely
habitable
,
the
Dukes
first
care
was
to
have
it
well
ayred
,
and
having
purged
it
of
the
stench
,

and
putrifaction

while
the
souldiers
following
their

profession
,
handled
not
the
Sicle
to
cut
down
the
ripe
Corne
,
but
the
sword
to
cut
off
their
adversaries
:
The

Decree

were
not

the
account
,
which
the
Duke
could
make
of
his
time
there
.
His
forces
came
to
action
,
and
whilst
the
Country
people
by
supplying
their
wants
,
strengthened
their
hands
and
hearts
,
they
advanced
the
Kings
designes
.
The
Duke
was
informed
by
some
prisoners
,
that
the
Spaniards
had
made
a
little
head
,
had
assembled
together
betwixt
Poligny
,
and
the
Castle
of
Ruffe
,

himselfe
in

attended
with
1200

Musquetiers
went
from
the
Camp
at
Savigni
three
days
before
it
was
surrendred
to
give

His
intent
was
to
have
crusht
the
Cockatrice
in

shell
,
to
have
abated
that
little
body
,
which
was
in
growing

that
project
prevented

providence
of

Colonell
Maillart

commanded

forces
,

hearing
of

march
,
retreated
to
a
place

securitie

took

by
his

he
took
successively
upon

against

he
took
by
assault

put
the

from

to
the
Governour
of

,
the
purport
whereof
was
,
that
they
desired
him
to

because
the

drew
towards
them
,

they
were
threatned
with

The
Duke
from
hence
collected
,
that
if
he
could
surround
them
before
the
return
of
their
Commander
,
he
might
easily
carry
the
place
,
the
strength

inclining

did
as

as

was
transmitted
to
his
Highnesse
,
to
attend
upon
the
designes
of
the
Spanish
Marquesse

Verrue
performed
his
charge
so
well
,
that
he
chased
Borsio
out
of
Langues
,
became
master
of
the
Towne
and
Castle
of
Carchere
,
(
a
place
of
much
importance
,
being
the
passage
from
Piemout
to
Genoa
,
and
Rome
,
by
which
the
French
Curriers
could
not
formerly
passe
without
much
perill
)
having
first
surprized
the
greatest
part
of
that
Garrison
in
the
open
field
,
put
the
one
half
to
the
sword
,
the
remaynder
flying
to
the
Mountains
for
their
preservation
,
and
afterwards
besieged

of

assistants
,
Castelan
,
But
the
project
took
not
,
Verrue
took
in
the
place
&
stirred
not
till
he
had
done
it
.
His
Highnesse
was
maturely
advised
of
the
Marquesses
march
and
purpose
,
and
would
not
revoke
the
order
he
had
given
the
Count
de
Verrue
,
Cressentin
,
and
Trin
,
and
lodging
that
night
neere
the
bridge
at
Sture
;
His
stay
there
ministred
an
occasion
of
a
combat
betwixt
his
and
the
French
united
forces
▪
and
the
Spanish
army
,
under
Don
Martino
de
Arragon
,
Tiberio
of
Naples
,
Lucio
Boccapiana
,
Don
Giovanni
Cavalla
the
Spanish
Camp-master
,
the
Count
Bolognino
Lievtenant
Generall
of
the
Infantery
,
Don
Fedro
Commissary
Generall
of
the
Cavallary
,
Spaden
and
other
Officers
.
It
was
thus
!
At
Sture
his
Highnes
was
informed
,
that
these
Spanish
Cavalliers
with
one
part
of
the
Army
,
had
order
to
ravage
the
Lands
of
the
Prince
of
Masseran
,
upon
whom
they
meant
to
avenge
themselves
,
because
that
he
the
yeere
last
past
had
driven
them
out
of
Crev●oeur
which
they
had
unjustly
detained
from
him
,
and
afterwards
to
make
an
invasion
into
the
Ri●lois
;
where
they
meant
to
plunder
the
Country
,
as
they
had
done
the
Astesan
,
and
the
D●rsellois
,
and
to
prevent
them
;
he
dispatched
the
Marquesse
Villa
,
Generall
of
his
Horse
and
Field-marshall
of
the
Christian
Kings
Army
to
go
and
joyn
some
companies
of
Horse
with
those
under
the
Marquesse
of
Pianessa
about
Verselle
,
and
take
an
opportunity
to
fight
with
the
Morani
,
Iuly
21
,
August
1
,
with
his
troops
making
about
1300
Horse
,
attained
to
Verselli
about
11
of
the
clock
,
where
he
understood
,
that
one
part
of
the
Enemy
was
already
passed
over
the
River
of
Cesia
,
having
carried
away
out
of
the
Versellois
a
booty
of
cattell
,
and
taken
prisoner
the
Captain
Esprit
,
Lievtenant
of
the
Carabins
,
of
Don
Carlo
,
as
he
was
scouring
that
Country
with
20
of
his
men
,
five
wherof
they
flue
,
and
caused
the
rest
to
flie
.
The
report
startled
the
Marquesse
,
who
seeing
some
other
Spanish
troops
upon
the
further
banke
of
the
River
,
made
over
the
stream
toward
them
with
his
Cavallary
,
and
so
affrighted
them
,
that
they
presently
fled
,
&
sheltred
themselves
behind
the
Fort
of
Doval
,
whither
the
Marquesse
would
not
follow
them
,
the
Cannons
being
planted
against
his
Army
,
and
the
Musquetiers
being
ready
to
discharge
upon
him
from
the
Fort
,
but
returned
toward
the
River
,
where
hee
was
scarce
arrived
,
but
he
perceived
(
within
an
houre
)
some
troops
of
Spanish
Horse
,
making
in
all
about
1500
,
marching
toward
Piemontain
Dragoons
and
Carrabins
,
and
those
of
the
Enemy
,
but
lasted
not
long
,
being
broken
off
,
by
the
comming
in
of
a
new
Squadron
of
French
Horse
,
which
charged
this
Avantguard
of
the
Spanish
Army
so
furiously
,
that
they
were
presently
routed
,
and
put
to
flight
.
The
Spanish
Battalia
stood
whole
still
,
whither
the
Avantguard
fled
,
and
were
rallied
to
renew
Lucio
Boccapiana
,
Camp-master
,
one
Marquesse
of
Davie
,
the
Lievtenant
of
the
Colonell
Sehic
;
the
Provost
Marshall
of
the
German
Forces
;
two
Lievtenants
,
three
Cornets
,
and
many
other
Officers
which
are
unknown
.
Don
Martino
of
Arragon
escaped
hardly
,
his
horse
being
slaine
under
him
,
and
hee
beaten
to
the
ground
:
Don
Antonio
Nephew
to
the
Count
of
Montery
Viceroy
of
Naples
,
Spadin
and
many
other
During
the
time
of
this
combat
,
the
Count
Verrue
took
in
the
City
of
Cairo
,
and
went
from
thence
to
beslege
Larocca
neer
Asti
:
lately
fortified
by
Leganez
,
in
the
time
of
his
abode
there
.
The
Marquesse
had
then
a
time
of
sorrows
which
thronged
together
upon
him
.
A
Currier
came
from
Spain
with
unwelcome
news
of
his
wives
death
,
sister
to
the
Marquesse
Spinola
,
and
another
with
a
report
of
a
new
Successor
into
his
Government
,
yet
neither
of
these
did
so
much
trouble
him
as
the
successe
and
hopefull
progresse
of
the
united
French
and
Piemontain
Armies
;
the
first
hee
knew
to
be
a
debt
to
Nature
,
and
it
did
not
trouble
him
,
the
other
he
thought
might
be
false
and
raised
by
the
malice
of
some
of
his
enemies
in
Court
,
or
,
if
true
,
yet
he
would
take
care
to
discharge
his
Office
conscionably
,
and
comfort
himselfe
in
the
true
account
,
he
should
make
to
the
Catholike
King
.
La
Rocca
was
besieged
,
and
he
encouraged
La
Rocca
besieged
by
the
French
and
Piemontains
.
the
defendants
to
hold
out
manfully
,
promising
to
relieve
them
as
soon
as
he
might
conveniently
.
The
defendants
behaved
themselves
manfully
,
being
animated
by
the
daily
intelligence
they
received
from
their
associates
,
by
the
favour
of
a
Hill
upon
the
bank
of
Taner
,
and
the
French
Generall
to
debarre
them
of
that
conference
,
commanded
the
Colonell
Dallot
to
possesse
himselfe
of
that
place
:
it
was
a
worke
of
difficultie
and
danger
,
the
Musquetadoes
played
upon
him
from
within
,
and
the
appointed
succours
withstood
his
way
without
,
yet
he
performed
it
with
as
much
happinesse
as
valour
.
It
was
a
work
full
of
hazard
,
yet
his
industry
joyned
with
Fortune
overcame
it
,
with
much
difficulty
he
entrenched
himselfe
neere
the
pallisadoes
of
the
besieged
,
foure
days
together
endured
the
sallies
of
the
Garrison
,
and
the
assaults
of
the
Spanish
Campe
,
both
which
having
Don
Martino
to
relieve
la
Rocca
.
began
to
feare
that
la
Rocca
could
not
hold
out
,
and
therupon
discamping
,
returned
into
the
State
of
Millan
,
where
he
drew
out
seven
Regiments
of
foot
,
and
2000
Horse
from
his
Army
,
and
sent
them
under
the
conduct
of
the
Marquesse
Don
Martin
,
d'
Arragon
to
relieve
it
.
His
Highnesse
had
notice
of
his
march
,
and
followed
him
.
His
speedy
pursuit
after
him
brought
him
upon
the
Vantguard
of
Don
Martin
,
consisting
of
200
Dragoons
and
Carrabines
,
whom
hee
assaulted
so
roughly
,
that
he
slue
and
wounded
most
part
of
them
,
and
put
the
rest
to
flight
.
The
issue
made
the
Spanish
Don
to
give
over
his
designe
,
till
Leganez
with
the
main
body
of
his
Army
might
come
in
to
his
succour
.
The
Marquesse
had
speedy
intelligence
of
what
had
passed
,
and
as
speedily
came
up
to
him
,
encamped
upon
the
banke
of
Taner
,
with
four
peeces
of
Canon
to
impeach
the
French
and
Piemountain
Armies
,
who
had
pitched
their
Campe
upon
the
declining
of
the
Hill
neer
the
river
.
Borsio
de
Modenn
,
the
certain
number
of
the
common
men
is
not
known
,
only
600
dead
corpses
were
reported
by
the
prisoners
to
be
tumbled
into
the
River
,
and
thirty
waggons
loaden
with
the
carcasses
of
the
principall
men
which
were
slaine
,
and
some
wounded
souldiers
were
knowne
to
be
sent
to
Alexandria
.
Nor
could
the
French
and
Piemontain
army
glory
of
this
conquest
,
it
cost
them
deare
,
the
lives
of
many
of
their
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
nor
did
the
losse
of
the
Spaniard
do
him
so
much
prejudice
,
but
that
by
the
helpe
of
his
Canon
at
Annona
,
and
some
companies
of
Musquetiers
(
whom
he
afterwards
sent
to
guard
the
River
)
hee
laid

fresh

into

,
who
defended
themselves
so
bravely
,
that
at
last
the
siege
was
raised
,
and
the
Duke
of
Savoy
was
forced
to
depart
without
a
Conquest
.
A
victory
soon
after
attended
him
,
the
French
Fleet

affrighted
all
the

The

her

sonne
the
Prince
Emanuel
were
both
sick
;
and
their
maladies
made
the
Citizens
to
sympathize

The
Duke
was
informed
of
the
state
of

and
posted

There

a

so

had

The
Cardinall
Infant
stood
like
a
common
bounder
between
two
Enemies
:
the
French
upon
the
South

East
of
the
Provinces

then
the
Garrisons
of

Brabant
,
where
his

were
wintered
,
he
drew
out

Forces

notice

if

had

no

upon

feared

as

The

by
his

had
taken

not

were

by

the
day

The
hearts
of
the
Spanish
souldiers
in
the
Cardinals
Army
by
this
,
began
to
faile
them
.
A
whole
troope
of
Burgundians
ran
away
together
,
and
among
them
one
English
man
,
who
joyntly
affirmed
,
that
if
they
were
not
kept
in
by
the
Spanish
horse
,
more
would
follow
them
.
Yet
though
his
men
began
to
decline
him
,
the
Cardinall
Infant
would
not
forsake
himselfe
;
but
seeing
the
improbability
he
had
to
relieve
the
City
,
projected
how
to
advance
the
affaires
of
the
Catholike
It
had
been
vain
to
have
staied
in
that
quarter
longer
,
little
hope
was
there
to
advance
his
conquest
further
,
the
States
,
warned
by
the
losse
of
these
two
last
places
,
had
double
garrison'd
all
the
townes
,
and
it
was
more
probability
,
that
by
his
stay
,
he
might
there
consume
himselfe
and
his
Army
,
than
enlarge
his
victories
.
Besides
,
he
had
other
irons
in
the
sire
elsewhere
.
The
French
began
to
domineere
in

they
had
invaded

of
those
Provinces
under

make
head
against
them
.
He
was
forced
to
leave
the
Maze
,
and
march
to
the
frontiers
of
Picardy
.
The
hope
of
the
garrison
in
Breda
,
depended
upon
his
succours
,
and
though
they
could
not
be
ignorant
that
he
was
gone
,
and
had
left
them
,
they
were
not
dejected
,
but
used
all
their
policy
and
might
to
weary
out
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
and
force
him
to
rise
,
seeing
they
could
not
vanquish
him

the
horrid
face
of

appeared
in

mangled
bodies
of
some
of

obtained
it
for

of

dead
;
and
that
work
of
piety
being
done
,
the
remainder
of
the
few
minutes
was
spent
in
friendly
drinkings
betwixt
the

the

;
the
presidiaries
carousing

them

them

to

He
not
above
two

had
received
a
shot
upon
his
hat-band
,
which
slipt
away
and
did
him
no
harme
,
but
this
day
was
strucke
more
unfortunately
upon
the
forehead
,
so
losing
his
life
,
to
the
great
griefe
of
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
who
had
often
used
his
counsell
both

drew
on

ready
,
the

the

concerned

and
the

an

Moon
before

CHAP.
V.
The
Marine
Occurrences
.
THe
dry
Land
was
not
the
only
stage
of
action
,
—
vidit
in
undis
Et
Thetys
ignotas
&
Galathea
feras
.
The
Military
Fleets
of
divers
Kingdoms
,
some
imployed
onely
to
secure
the
coasts
,
others
for
transportation
of
Souldiers
,
others
for
invasion
,
and
the
shipping
for
trade
,
plowing
the
face
of
the
Mayn
,
made
the
Ocean
seeme
to
carry
so
many
moving
Islands
,
that
part
appearing
like
a
woodland
where
the
Navies
lay
wind-bound
,
or
rode
at
anchor
,
yet
discovering
it selfe
again
to
be
Sea
,
when
the
sails
were
hoysed
,
and
the
vessels
left
that
station
.
The
Archipelago
was
furrowed
by
the
Pirats
of
Bizerte
,
Algier
,
and
Tunis
(
Sally
being
then
blocked
up
,
by
our
worthy
and
vallant
Countriman
,
Captaine
Rauisborow
)
which
sought
for
pillage
upon
the
Christians
either
by
Sea
,
or
upon
the
European
shoare
:
by
the
Gallies
of
Malta
,
which
endevoured
to
make
prize
of
those
Renegadoes
,
and
the
Navies
of
the
Christian
and
Catholick
Kings
,
each
of
them
intending
to
preserve
his
own
,
and
endamage
the
others
territories
.
The
Navy
of
Spaine
had
changed
its
Generall
(
Don
Melchior
Borgia
,
being
assigned
in
the
roome
of
the
Duke
of
Ferrandina
)
but
not
the
former
designe
.
The
Dominions
of
the
Christian
King
were
the
maine
scope
of
its
hostility
,
and
thitherwards
21
Gallies
well
armed
and
mann'd
with
above
3000
souldiers
,
rowed
by
the
Provence
,
June
,
●/1●
.
The
project
must
needs
have
took
had
it
not
bin
prevented
by
much
circumspection
,
Mont
Guion
,
who
commanded
the
French
Garrison
in
the
town
and
Cittadell
,
under
the
Marshall
de
Vitry
,
at
their
first
approching
prepared
to
hinder
their
landing
,
but
their
hast
preventing
his
,
and
some
of
the
Spanish
Souldiers
landed
at
B●rtr●t
with
a
purpose
to
surround
the
Cittadell
,
hee
sallied
forthwith
120
Souldiers
of
the
Garrison
,
and
charged
the
Spanish
Vantguard
so
couragiously
,
that
hee
beat
them
back
to
their
Boats
,
and
enforced
them
to
seek
for
the
safeguard
of
their
lives
in
the
Sea
,
whither
their
precipitious
confused
hast
carried
them
.
It
was
fortune
that
crowned
his
action
.
His
small
Forces
consisting
of
Landmen
,
could
not
have
maintained
that
Port-towne
against
such
an
Armado
:
By
good
hap
there
was
in
the
Harbour
at
the
same
time
four
vessels
of
the
French
Fleet
,
(
viz
)
two
Pinnaces
named
the
Royall
,
and
the
Cardinall
and
two
Frigots
,
which
kept
the
mouth
of
the
Harbour
,
and
by
their
frequent
Cannonadoes
assisted
by
the
Cittadell
,
played
upon
the
Spanish
Fleet
so
successefully
with
300
vollies
of
shot
,
that
they
forced
the
Enemy
to
retire
out
of
the
Gulfe
,
and
defeated
him
of
his
project
.
Yet
the
Seene
only
was
altered
,
and
not
the
Spaniards
purpose
,
The
Port
of
St.
Rapheau
did
present
It selfe
to
the
fancy
of
the
invaders
,
who
failing
of
their
end
at
St.
Tropez
tugged
thither
intending
to
surprize
it
,
before
it
could
be
well
provided
for
defence
.
The
Marshall
de
Vitry
was
the
first
,
but
not
the
only
Discoverer
of
that
enterprize
,
conceal
it
he
could
not
,
it
being
apparantly
known
to
all
the
inhabitants
about
Fr●iu●
,
(
where
hee
then
resided
)
the
Spanish
Gallies
rowing
before
the
eyes
of
the
people
.
The
Count
of
Harcourt
,
Generall
of
the
French
Fleet
,
the
same
day
that
the
Spanish
Navy
went
from
St.
Tropez
,
departed
from
Treius
,
where
hee
had
been
entertained
at
Supper
,
by
the
Marshall
de
Vitry
the
night
before
,
and
had
not
failed
above
one
hour
and
an
half
,
but
that
he
kenn'd
the
Spanish
Gallies
,
and
observed
with
what
eagernesse
the
slaves
imployed
their
sinews
,
to
bring
them
up
to
some
of
the
Sea-townes
,
and
presently
made
to
land
,
mustered
up
the
Forces
of
the
Country
,
which
comming
in
continually
,
beat
off
the
Spanish
Armado
from
