is ioyned vvith the King and Count Mansfield being all together to abate a little the lauishes of rumour 20000 in a running armie which is continually on foote as the cause requireth and businesse importeth for of late they haue beene seuen dayes together in the Countrey of Dermstrat hard by Frankford the Prince whereof Lantgraue Lodowick hath alwayes bin a straight enemy to our affaires and a publick professed friend to his Imperial Maiestie for it was he that the last yeare laboured the accord between the Princes of the Vnion and Marquis Spinola it was he that gaue way and assistance to all the Spanish marches it was he that hath so much extolled and magnified the house of Austria it was he that hath taken great paines all this Winter to disswade the Marquis of Durlach and other Princes from taking vp armes in our assistance vnder pretence of desire of peace and auoiding effusion of Christian blood it was he that gaue eare to the Iesuites and Priests in their blasphemous railings and filthy calumniations against God his Church and the King of Bohemiaes businesse To conclude it was he Gods holy name be praised that the King tooke prisoner in his owne country and keeps him still in his custody His country hath neither strong townes nor fortifications but is soon subiect to a violent enforcement and so was as soone ouercome by our armies affoording a great supply of prouision the hungry souldier was wel cheered and our distressed garrisons wonderfully relieued with good muttons and beeues that all this Winter haue bin afflicted with great scarcitie and wants hunger and cold but now there is a new face of comfort and contentment appeareth on euery side For my Lord Chichester is safely and opportunely ariued at Manheim to our hearts reioycing and the Kings satisfaction For although Monsieur Tilly our grand enemy be againe strengthened from Bohemia Bauaria and Leopoldus yet whether war or peace the King is able to en●ounter with him and prepareth with resolution to oppose all his enemies let them increase neuer so fast as I must confesse they are many Tilly of himselfe is esteemed 14000 strong and as our intelligence is hath 6000 more from the Duke of Bauaria in his passages and Gon saloes as he cā spare from his garisons so that in the end of May he marched full 20000. towards the King whose transcendent name with me is predominant After my Lord of Belfast or Chichester was welcomed and entertained of all sides the King and Count Mansfield departed to the army and as we had certaine intelligence vpon Munday the 27 of May he marched to a towne of the Bishop of Ments aboue Frankford called Ausburge to meete with the Duke of Brunswick there vvho vvas now marching into Franconia but before he could get to the Maine a riuer ouer vvhich he must be transported Generall Tilly vvith his great strength and vvhole army vvas got before him so that he must of necessitie fight or retire for Brunswick vvas not yet come vp to the riuer nor had any notice of the Kings being so neare more then that he vvould come to meete him In breife to fight vpon so great disadvantages was not thought conuenient For the Countrey being spoyled and vittailes scarce could afford them no releife the enemy being strong and prouided of purpose might hazard the Army For you must consider besides Tillyes owne forces he had Gensalers horse which came to him from Openham from the Archduches horse so extraordinarily armed that they exceeded the Dutch far and may well be compared to those strong Cataphracts of the Romaines which were armed from head to foote therefore it was thought conuenient to make a Retreate which was done in so good order that to his euerlasting prayse the King must be remembred for not with standing all they could doe the enemy followed so hard that he ouer tooke them and the horse gort such way through about the woods that skirmish they must and skirmish they did so that the King returned from the Van to be an actor in the same This fight lasted in a maner two dayes May 30. 31. and was at last ended so well that while the Horse encountred on both sides the foote retreated towards Manheym wherein was lost not aboue on 100. of either side but the Horse had a sorer conflict and a sorer continuance wherein the King as he had done in his first battaile with Generall Tilly demeaned himselfe so couragiously well that his example drew on others to noble performances and remarkable encounters for amongst many Gent. whose names did not at this time fall to my proportion of knowledge among those that were noted to fight most brauely were Colonell Ouertront Commander of the Palsgraues horse one Sir Iohn Maynard of Kent Captaine of a troupe of Count Mansfields horse were worthy and remarkable Count Mansfield had one of his kinsmen called Count Philip of Mansfield taken prisoner as ouercharged with numbers diuers others might be remēbred to their perpetuall fame Many were slain wounded and taken prisoners on both sides The report goeth the losse was 200 on both sides the losse being equal keepeth rumor from too lauish boasting of peuailing only the King returning to Manheim that might be said he was glad it was no worse considering the accident or chance of warre God had dealt mercifully with him in affoording him so good an escape and deliuerance from such eminent perill On our side was Colonell Galstein Generall of the Marquis of Durlacks horse slaine a vvorthy braue souldier and a Rinegraue taken prisoner On the Emperours part a Collonell in compleate armour was shot into the face as he lifted vp his beauer to take the ayre and sundry other officers were subiect to the ouer-mastering forces of their Aduersaries some killed some wounded some suppressed and they were glad at the last to part vpon equall termes and as we heare Monsieur Tilly had no great cause too much to reioyce for the horse that escaped left much Armour and the men were brused exceedingly But concerning our selues we esteemed it a blessing exceeding Report that in a retreite of thirty or forty miles wee haue lost no baggage at all nor more men than the enemy although their ioy exceeded and Report had made the matter amongest the Bishops so famous yet there is but one trueth and as neare as euer I can you haue it and therefore spare not to tell to both your friends and foes that our businesse doth thriue well and by Gods gracious assistance we shall make a happy progression though I must confesse the enemy is very strong and looketh for great supplies from out of diuers Countries The same night his Maiestie returned to Maynheim and supped chearefully with Generall Vere assuring that the Duke of Brunswicke is twenty thousand strong and encreaseth his Army daily in his marches Now if any aske where were the skouts on al sides where was the mistaking either of the Rendezuous or the day of Brunswickes approaches where was the ouer-sight that Monsieur Tilly did lodge himselfe without any feare as it were betweene the Armies for if Brunswicke had come forward how could a dangerous battel haue beene preuented I answere for all as well as my poore vnderstanding will serue me these things might bee without impeachment of martiall Policies or true Discipline For concerning the King of Bohemia he was resolued to fight and carelesse of any forces his enemy could haue so far forth as he might ioyne with Brunswicke who had formerly sent him Letters of assurance hee would come to the riuer of Mayne such a day Besides it was a probable coniecture that Tilly could not so sodainly be so strong considering his former defeature and Leopoldus raysing his Campe but the truth is most of the Arch-duke Leopoldus forces meant directly to ioyne with Tilly and hee tooke aduice with Gonsales de Cordua with what expedition to goe forward Concerning Tilly himselfe hee had reason to preuent the mischiefes apprehending an irrecouerable danger if the King of Bohemia and Brunswicke did meete besides he tooke notice that Brunswicke and more Carriages and ordnance mounted which must be the cause of slowe marches and bring along with him some impedimēts last of all that hee must passe ouer the Riuer and whether by boate or bridge if hee could get thither afore him hee was sure to hinder his landing and procrastinate his iourny Concerning Brunswicke he could not be so confident to limit his time to a certaine day because an army in long marches are many times pulled backe from speed and celerity by circumstances accidents and casuall euents as hath formerly beene apparent in memorable Expeditions where the breaking of a carriage or the dismounting of a Cannon hath hindered an Army from a whole dayes march To conclude let there be no impeachment of a Souldiers credite in the businesse of the warre except apparent cowardice follie and treason steppe in but let euery man endeauour to do his best and when disasters happen be ready rather absolutely to say It was the will and pleasure of God or with modesty to conclude as the common Prouerb is It was the fortune of warre Thus farre haue my Letters extended in the businesse of the Pallatinate and if you long now to heare of the King and Brunswickes meeting or of Mansfields forward marching I assure you I long as much to giue you notice of the same and make no question but my next Letters shall not only aduertise you how my Lord of Belsaft or Chichester proceedes in his Commission but send you the happy tydings of some worthy exployt or other eyther tending to the discharging the Pallatinate of her intollerable burthens and grieuous enemies or the thriving of the cause in a farre better manner than many hollow-hearted would haue it but because things are dubitable and the secrets which belong to God vnsearchable I leaue it to his direction and preseruation that knoweth what is best for his owne glory and the propagation of true Religion Iust now as I am ready to seale vp my Letter comes a Letter from Collonell Golsteme his owne hand whom we tooke to haue been slaine that hee is yet liuing a prisoner which made much ioy FINIS
