but vpon this occasion in all hast commanded backe At this arryvall the fugitives did relye themselves againe and charged againe with the rest where the fight was continued againe vntill night with such earnestnesse of both sides that there was nothing else to bee heard or seene but the thundring Canon and the haile shot of Musquet bullets and this last encounter was more hard and furious then the first yet at the last throught the gracious helpe and assistance of the highest and the Heroicall valour of his excellent Duke Bernhard of Saxon Weimer which at this time his Majestie being dangerously and deadly wounded in the first encounter commanded in chiefe the victorie is fallen vpon our side and the enemy tooke his flight toward Leipseich at 9. of the clocke at night with few of his people firing his Leaguer and leaving behind some of his baggage and three Pieces of Artillierie which indeede hee tooke along with him but was not able to bring them forward in regard of the darke night wee were not able to pursue him and the more because it was thought he would stand againe the next morning and expect another charge This is indeed a glorious and exceeding great victorie for the which wee are not able to render sufficient thankes to the Almighty GOD For on the enemies side by the confession of the prisoners and the view of the place of the Battell where dead men lay halfe a mans height one at the top of another doth testifie is slaine and wounded the two third parts of his Armie among them Pappenhem himselfe and most of the chiefe commanders all their whole artillerie and munitions taken from them and the small remainder put to flight Yet in consideration of the death of our most worthie of glorie most Christian and in all the world most praised and famous nothing to bee valved His Majestie of most high and blessed memorie being in the first encounter was shot first of all in his Arme afterwards behind in his backe and lastly with a Pistoll into his head and also rendred vp his soule as a sacrifice to the LORD IESVS and spent his Royall blood and ventred his life and body with the Protestant Electors Princes and States of Germany for the maintenance of your Religion the recoverie of your lost liberties Off our sides as farre as I know is not any great commander slaine but generall Major Isler yet there are a great many hurt amongst which the Prince Anhault Count Neils Colonell Winchler Colonell Walstein and others but not deadly but how many bee slaine of our men cannot as yet bee exactly knowne till wee come to the generall rendevouz yet the Swedish blew and yellow regiments of foote Duke Benherds the Prince of Anhault the Count Leuuenstenis and Colonell Brandestins regiment of Horse haue suffered great damage After all this his grace Duke Benhard of Weimer being generall over the armie which as yet consists of 15000. men retreated himselfe with his people to Weiszenfolz to rest there a little while and to expect his highnesse the Elector of Saxon and Duke George of Lunenburgh with their forces which were not present at this encounter and so ioyntly with them to pursuethe victorie The most Highest grant his grace that all the protestaut Electors Princes and States of Germanie may take this businesse to heart and thankfully acknowledge the deedes and great faithfulnesse of the most glorious King and that holie worke begunne for Religion and libertie which his royall Majestie of most highly blessed memorie hath as it were given them into their hands and brought to good termes maye in time to come with their wontedly hazarding together of lives goods and blood and through the assistance of the power of GOD bee brought to perfection and that they may expresse themselves thankfull towards the most desolate most pious and religious Queene as also the Crowne of Swedens high and inferior officers which are resolved to venter all with them But if so bee the which God gratiously avert they should separate themselves and suffer themselves to bee divided by other counsells then might that happen which the most glorious King shortly before his death did prophesie namely that both their religion and libertie were overthrowne By this relation I cannot omitt these ensuing wordes which his blessed most royall Majestie manie times and yet but three dayes before the battell did speake at Naumburgh to Doctor Fabritius Good Master Doctor the businesse standeth well aad all succeedeth according to our wishes but I feare mee I feare mee because that everie bodie doeth so reuerence and magnifie me and hold me in a maner for a god God wil punish me one time or another for that cause yet God knoweth that I am not pleased with it Now let happen to mee what my most loving God will bee pleased Sure I am that hee will perfect and bring to an end the businesse because it concerneth the honour of his Name Thus much the King This I thought good in briefe to relate to you asmuch as my selfe could learne and informe of which was my selfe present from the beginning to the end of this great capitall battell in comparison of which the former battell of Leipsich is not to bee esteemed which lasted nine whole houres I beseech the most High that hee would bee pleased to assist my gratious Queene and all the Counsell and Officers of the Crowne of Sweden with the spirit of comfort and consolation that they in a Christian patience may after the losse of so great a Treasure as their King and Lord receive godly comfort in other wayes Out of all this is manifest to perceive that not wee but GOD Almightie is absolute master of all our willes lives thoughts and spirits and indeed wee may in so much the more patience comfort our selves because our King hath ended his course of life in the highest degree of immortall glorie beeing and remaining before his death in his death and after his death still victorious His blessed Majestie his corps is carried in a Coach with the Armie in persute of the enemie till further order come at his Queenes arrivall and the Chancellour Oxenstein What further will happen I shall heereafter let you know the royall Chancellerie is conveyed to Erdfoord where they attend the Chancellors comming This is memorable that his grace Duke Bernhard of Saxon when Colonell Kniphansen brought him the post of the Kings now blessed decease his grace verie heroically answered then I desire to liue no longer and with that charged the enemie with that courage and Heroicall valour that it is not to bee expressed At the closing and sealing vp of these commeth newes that the enemie hath quyted Leipseich and left a garison of two hundreth men in the Castle taketh his march towards the mountaines Zuickaw whom Duke Bernhard the Elector of Saxon his
