Pistol to his breast threatning to kill him unless he would beg his life Richmond obstinately refusing S. Aubin insisted on 't no further but told him his obstinacy should not make him forget to be generous Presently after they were parted by some Horsemen that overtook them The Marshal of Luxembourg having heard of the Combat caus'd them both to be arrested and having carefully inquir'd into the cause of the quarrel he heard only in general that S. Aubin was the Aggressor This surpriz'd him the more as having ever known him of a sweet and peaceable humour which made him believe he came not to these extremities without great provocation So that he resolv'd to know the bottom of the business and found S. Aubin had made use of all fair means in his power to win over his Adversary but all to no purpose before he had ingag'd him Richmond was blam'd for it and Mounsieur de Luxembourg unwilling he should serve any longer under him sent him to Perron under pretence of having his wound cur'd though 't was very light The Combat prov'd much to S. Aubin's advantage the General esteeming him the better for 't and the other Ayds de Camp finding 't was ill jesting with him forbore their Raileries Mounsieur de Luxembourg was by this time arriv'd before S. Omer just as Mounsieur was preparing to quit his Lines to go meet the Enemy though far more numerous The succour came so seasonably that both Armies being ingag'd that of the Confederates was intirely defeated The particulars of the Battel have been already so faithfully and fully related I shall not attempt writing what is better done to my hand by another the very relations made of it by the Enemy attribute all the advantage and glory of it to the Valiant Philip de France who was every-where present reviving their courage who began to give ground and animating the whole Army by his Example and Orders S. Aubin having still had a longing desire to see a Battel was heartily glad of being at this the several Orders he had from his General to carry through the Army gave him the occasion to satisfie himself to the full and to be present where the Victory was most smartly disputed Happening to be at the defeat of a Spanish Battalion of Foot out of his natural abhorrence of bloudshed he sav'd the lives of two Officers under pretence of carrying them Prisoners to Mounsieur de Luxembourg And having ask'd them several questions about the condition of their Army and what Generals they had he found the Spaniards made a Body apart under the Command of the Marquess de Osseyra S. Aubin was so troubled at the Name he stood mute for some time He was thinking at first to seek him out and demand satisfaction with his Arms in his hand for the outrage he conceiv'd he had receiv'd from him but he had scarce fram'd his design but he felt his heart fail him and more concern'd for the person of the Marquess than it could be for an Enemy He did what he could to suppress and get rid of that unseasonable tenderness but all would not do his heart still hankerd after news of the Marquess and was strongly bent to save his life if possible While S. Aubin continued under these uncertainties the Kings Victorious Brother taking his advantage of the disorder and consternation the Enemies were in commanded Mounsieur de Luxembourg to pursue them with some Squadrons And with admirable foresight his Royal Highness sent other Troops to possess themselves of the Posts by which the Enemies though routed might have attempted the relief of S. Omer The Duke of Luxembourg the mean time being in pursuit of the Enemy and perceiving the Dragoons who should have follow'd him lag behind and busie themselves in taking Prisoners which would but hinder the service of the day he sent S. Aubin with Orders for them to march and to kill all their Prisoners S. Aubin carried these Orders but with some reluctance yet knowing it his duty to obey not dispute the Orders of his General he carried them with his ordinary diligence and had no sooner approach'd the Dragoons but he discern'd the Marquess de Osseyra among the Prisoners which troubled him beyond expression The Officer who commanded the Dragoons seeing an Ayd de Camp coming towards them a gallop made no doubt but he brought Orders and having advanc'd a little way to receive them S. Aubin concealing to his power the surprize he was in without loss of time he made use of that readiness of wit incident to those of the Sex and told the Officer that the Marshal de Luxembourg demanded a Prisoner nam'd the Marquess de Osseyra As for the rest they should be put to the Sword and the Dragoons to march up to the Troops in pursuit of the Enemy The Order was presently obey'd and the Marquess consign'd into the hands of S. Aubin whom he follow'd some paces on foot not able to comprehend by what good fortune he had escap'd the fate of the rest of the Prisoners The Countess of Benavidez had told him Christina was in the French Army which made him resolve after the loss of the Battel to expose himself where he might be made Prisoner in hopes by that means to have a sight of his dear Heroine The thought of this flatter'd him so pleasantly that he had not yet cast his eyes on his Deliverer being overjoy'd with his having escap'd the danger he fear'd of dying with grief for want of an opportunity to clear himself to his Mistress This joy was but short for S. Aubin to carry on his design to the utmost clapt a Pistol to the Marquesses Breast and bid him prepare for death This troubled the Marquess more now than it would have done on another occasion and not able to Master his passion on the sudden he reproach'd S. Aubin with his cruelty in making him languish so long when he had resolv'd to kill him But reviving himself I will die says he contentedly if you will give me your word to look out in your Army a Cavalier who goes under the Name of S. Aubin and tell him the Marquess de Osseyra thought upon him to the last moment of his life and had some pleasure in his death as having been occasion'd by the Love he had for him He fixt his eye the while on him he spoke to and began to remember himself when S. Aubin being on this occasion more Christina than S. Aubin and having had much ado to act this part with her Lover dismounted and exprest by her tears the passion of her heart with greater Eloquence than the best Orator on Earth could have done it The Marquess by this time knowing Christina was his Deliverer was so deeply affected with this new Obligation that he stood seiz'd with a pleasant amazement at the goodness of his Mistress at a time when she had so great reason to be angry with him Yet as joyful as

THE SECOND PART OF THE Heroine Musqueteer OR THE FEMALE Warrier A TRUE HISTORY Very delightful and full of Pleasant Adventures in the Campagnes of 1676 1677. Translated out of French LONDON Printed for J. Magnes and R. Bentley in Russel-street in Covent-Garden and J. Tonson at the Judges-head in Chancery-Lane near Fleet-street 1678. Licensed Feb. 1. 1677 8. R. L'Estrange THE Heroin Musqueteer OR The Female Warrier PART II. NEver was Man so astonisht as the Marquess d' Osseyra when he found he had wounded his Mistress the same moment and with the same Weapon he thought he had taken Revenge of his Rival The Count de Benavidez gave him an account of all that had happen'd when he surpriz'd the suppos'd S. Aubin with his Lady and particularly of the discoveries he fancy'd he had made of the Intelligence between them The Relation was so surprizing and the Circumstances so extraordinary the Marquess was confounded and under so strong a Convulsion of different Passions that what with fear what with grief he was Mute for some time and appear'd like a Statue without Sense or Motion But the Passion he had had for Christina prevailing over the rest and reproaching him fecretly with having destroy'd her he pray'd the Count to go instantly learn what news of her wound the disorder he was in being so great he had not the confidence to visit her but he follow'd the Count though he scarce knew what he did At the news of the Rancounter several of his Friends flock'd to the Marquess some of the Commanders were so impertinently officious they would needs stop him from going any further to save him the trouble of seeing his Enemy the second time But the return he made their mistaken Civility was so unexpectedly untoward his best Friends not knowing the motions of his heart were highly offended at it They were all amaz'd to see him so troubled and not one could imagine what reason he should have to go to the Count of Benavidez's where he knew they had carried his Enemy S. Aubin The Marquess was not inclin'd to violent courses yet they apprehended he might use his Authority to ruine the unfortunate Person that so publickly ingag'd him A Colonel his Friend was so officious that to prevent a mischief he dreaded so much he met him by the way and intreated him to go no further assuring him S. Aubin was so desperately ill he could not live an hour longer This was the Critical moment the Marquess really needed the assistance of his Friends and had they not hindred him he had certainly stabb'd himself The Count de Benavidez mindful of the disorder he had left him in return'd as hastily as he could to let him know S. Aubin's wound was not dangerous But the Marquess who began to relapse into the extremity of his first Passion for Christina was so fully prepossest with the discourse of the Colonel that he thought the Count did out of kindness conceal the danger S. Aubin was in and was loth to tell him News he knew would grieve him This made the Marquess resolve personally to visit S. Aubin in his Chamber and he had certainly done it had net the Count diverted him by representing the inconveniences might attend the surprize and discoveries their first Enterview would occasion before so many persons who were of his Retinue and then bore him Company The Marquess yielded to the perswasions of his Friend but not till the Chyrurgion had assur'd him the wound he thought so dangerous would be cur'd in a short time The Marquess could not forbear telling the Chyrurgion his Life should answer for S. Aubin's and swore to him that if he dy'd he should be concern'd to make ready to follow him presently into another World This being past they brought the Marquess home where he was visited by all the Persons of Quality in the Court at Brussels who complemented him for his pretended advantage Some carried on the Complement so far that they blam'd him for the trouble he was in having so great reason to be satisfi'd with the advantage he had gain'd over one of the bravest men of France He was so tir'd with these troublesome Civilities that to be rid of them he was forc'd to give order to his Porter to say he was not to be spoke with The Count de Benavidez loth to leave him under so much vexation staid with him in hopes by his Company to ease him a little of the Tyranny of his Passions As soon as they were alone the Marquess conjur'd him to tell him truly what he thought of Christina's wound The Count assur'd him it was very slight and to pleasure him offer'd to prepare Christina to receive his Visit that night This offer comforted the Marquess and the Count had no sooner made it but he was forc'd to go home to find means to satisfie the impatience of his Friend At his return he found his Wife was gone to Christina's Chamber and he took the advantage of it to give her a Visit When he had exprest the trouble he was under for her misfortune he assur'd her the Marquess was almost distracted at it and begg'd her permission to throw himself at her feet Christina thinking the Marquess still took her for S. Aubin not knowing the Count had told him all was extremely surpriz'd at the news and answering she passionately desir'd to justifie her self and let the Marquess know she was incapable of betraying so generous a Friend who had so highly oblig'd her The Count hasted away to carry his Friend the good News and shortly after both entred the Chamber where Christina lay who taking upon her to be S. Aubin assur'd the Marquess he could never have been satisfi'd with himself for being so unfortunate as to have disoblig'd him had not the Counts Relation and the generous Visit he was pleas'd personally to make him given him reasonable hopes he was satisfi'd of his Innocence The kind Marquess as if he had forgot Christina had ever been S. Aubin answer'd in terms full of transport and tenderness praying her to change her Language and quite rid her self of that unfortunate Name of S. Aubin that had so unhappily occasion'd his mistake and ingag'd him blindly to attack a Life a thousand times dearer to him than his own He continued the discourse with so much Passion and kindness that Christina finding it impossible to keep him longer in Errour gave free vent to her tears perhaps for joy she found him so constant However she pretended her self angry with the Count for having broken his word in discovering her to the Marquess The Marquess then telling her how much he long'd to know what had befallen her since she left Spain the Countess having observ'd how much he was concern'd for Christina sav'd her the trouble of the Relation and gave the Marquess a compleat Relation of all the Adventures Christina had acquainted her with The loving Marquess who thought all along Christina was Marri'd
