THE EXACT AND TRVE RELATION OF THAT BLOODY BATTELL fought betweene his Royall Majestie of Swethland and the Imperiall Army the 5 and 6. of November 1632. In the which Battell his Majestie was killed AFter his Royall Majestie of Swethland with his Armie was the 30 day of the last moneth of October arreard at Naumbrugh and the enemie being at Weiszenfolz there was some probabilitie that he would hold his stand in regard there is a strong passe and hee lay in his advantage his Majestie presently hath a leagure and retrenchments caused to be made before Naumburgh to discover and haue a watch full eye vpon the further intentions of the enemie the which vpon the 4 of November in a manner fled away from Weiszenfolz after first having pillaged Towne and Castle and turned himselfe towards Luelzen two myles from Leipseich wherevpon his Majestie presently vpon the 5. of November three houres before day arose with his Armie from Naumburg and encountred yet the same day the enemie about two of the clocke in the afternoone with playing of his small pieces vpon him hee made giue backe killing some of his men and got a standard of the enemies dragoners on which Fortoun and the Romane Eagle was painted which on our side was interpreted as a good omen and token and if we had had yet 2. houres more day the enemie would haue beene the most part ruined but night and a thicke mist befalling vs wee beganne to bee quyet on both sides His Majestie continued this whole night in the field standing in Battalzie intending to pursue and continue this happie beginning and to fall on vpon the enemie 2. houres before day but contrarie to our hopes and expectation there was againe so thicke a fogge that nothing to the purpose could be effected so that his Majestie was constrained to stay till it was faire day the mist being dispersed by the Sunne In the meane while the enemie hath caused a trench to be cast vp vpon the floate ditch and expected vs in his advantage And after his Majestie had caused morning prayer to bee said by Doctour Fabritius and the Sunne by little and little chasing away the mist and it being likelye to bee a faire day his Majestie with most mooving words exhorted all his Armies both horse and foote to fight brauely and said to the Sweds and Finnis My honest Brothers behaue your selues well this day and fight brauely for the Word of GOD and for your King in doing this yee shall obtaine grace and mercie with GOD and honour before all the World and I my selfe will reward you honourablie but if yee faile in so doing I protest vnto you that none of your bones shall come into Sweden againe To the Germans his Majestie said And you my honest Dutch brothers I beseech you in generall to behaue your selves manfully fight brauely with mee giue no ground I for my part set my life and blood at the stake for your good with you will you stand to mee bravely without question it is to bee hoped GOD Almightie will giue vs the victorie and you and your posteritie will enjoy the fruites thereof But if you doe not so then is your Religion and libertie overthrowne After which hee said Now wee will goe on GOD Almightie helpe vs all And with that cryed with a lowde voyce to the Heavens saying Iesu Iesu Iesu helpe me this day to fight for the honour of thy Name and advanced in this manner with the whole battell fasting went receiving either meate or drinke vpon the enemie his Majestie leading the Vanguard himselfe and betweene 9. and 10. of the clocke in the forenoone the fight beganne and caused the enemie at the same instant time the Towne Luelzen to bee put on fire in two places because wee might not fall vpon him in that place The Swedish blew and yellow regiment were advanced and 5. shot of great Canon discharged vpon the enemie which had a fine double advantage of vs wee having but the plaine fields but the float ditch their parapet their musquetiers their currasiers and their Canon out of which hee after our 5. shottes discharged 80. vpon vs all which notwithstanding our men did so bravely that they tooke the ditch their Trench from them and betweene and 5. of the clocke 7. Peices of Artillerie as also diverse Colours and Cornets and about all this the Encounter hath beene so fierce on both sides that a great many hath beene slaine after we had recovered the the said 7. Peices the enemie with his carabats fell vpon our baggage which was but a few Wagons and Coaches for all the rest were left behind in the Leaguer at Naumburg but were repulsed with notable losse to themselves yet withall this our Dutch cavallerie lighted in some disorder but just at the same instant a mist hapning againe was the cause the enemy tooke no notice of this disorder which if hee had perceaved hee might haue charged vs againe in some other place and occasioned greater confusion but wee were at last brought in order againe so that in my opinion the mist did vs more good than harme with this the enemy fell with all might and maine vpon vs againe and tooke the said 7. Peices from vs againe and dispersed some regiments of Cavallerie which had given ground vpon which the charge was receaved with more earnestnesse than ever and some fresh regiments the first being weake and faint with so furious a combat were by his Majesties command brought on which behaved themselues so gallantly that not onely the 7. Peices were recovered againe betweene 2. and 3. of the clocke but also 13. more and all the enemies munition with the losse of a great number of his people all his Cavallerie and especially his Curasiers remaining dead vpon the place and the remainder except 3. regiments which held themselves beside a Windmillne in a sconce all began to flie which made vs imagine the fight had beene at an end and that wee had absolutly the victorie and wee left off shooting for halfe an houre and all was quyet After this the enemie turned about againe to charge vs and as wee were afterwards informed by the prisoners as also by the relation in wryting of our commander at Hall was Pappinhame just at the same time with sundry regiments of fresh folke arryved which the day before Walsten not thinking that wee would a haue fallen on him was gone towards Hall to attempt the same towne
