the_o risk_a of_o a_o engagement_n have_v he_o be_v true_o inform_v of_o the_o conjunction_n so_o that_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a cause_n of_o this_o misfortune_n proceed_v from_o this_o that_o the_o troop_n of_o brandenburg_n munster_n and_o newburgh_n be_v not_o join_v at_o the_o place_n appoint_v to_o divert_v the_o french_a force_n there_o be_v some_o however_o that_o will_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v that_o if_o the_o cavalry_n have_v do_v their_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o the_o foot_n the_o enemy_n have_v be_v certain_o rout_v but_o that_o be_v scarce_o possible_a by_o reason_n of_o their_o overpower_v number_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o they_o be_v very_o near_o three_o to_o one_o by_o which_o mean_n as_o the_o hollander_n have_v no_o relaxation_n the_o french_a only_o fight_v by_o turn_n and_o never_o charge_v but_o once_o whereas_o the_o other_o be_v constrain_v to_o charge_v three_o time_n then_o again_o beside_o that_o the_o number_n be_v so_o unequal_a the_o place_n of_o battle_n be_v no_o way_n favourable_a it_o be_v a_o plain_a of_o a_o large_a extent_n wherein_o the_o dutch_a army_n be_v constrain_v to_o fight_v altogether_o whereas_o have_v the_o place_n be_v narrow_a they_o may_v have_v form_v more_o than_o two_o line_n and_o have_v have_v a_o reserve_v beside_o which_o will_v have_v in_o some_o measure_n supply_v the_o inequality_n of_o number_n in_o short_a not_o to_o condemn_v the_o cavalry_n altogether_o who_o fault_n perhaps_o will_v not_o have_v seem_v so_o great_a have_v not_o the_o foot_n perform_v so_o well_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v far_o more_o unequal_a in_o number_n to_o the_o enemy_n foot_n than_o the_o dutch_a foot_n to_o the_o enemy_n cavalry_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o altogether_o to_o be_v wonder_v that_o the_o one_o give_v ground_n while_o the_o other_o stand_v firm_a to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v that_o they_o have_v to_o do_v with_o the_o king_n horse_n that_o be_v to_o say_v with_o all_o the_o brave_a most_o undaunted_a and_o best_a discipline_v man_n in_o france_n beside_o that_o the_o french_a cavalry_n have_v more_o general_n than_o the_o dutch_a horse_n which_o be_v a_o great_a benefit_n for_o the_o rally_v they_o when_o they_o be_v break_v and_o which_o without_o question_n be_v the_o cause_n in_o part_n that_o the_o other_o can_v never_o rally_v again_o after_o all_o we_o have_v many_o reason_n to_o persuade_v we_o that_o this_o victory_n be_v not_o so_o advantageous_a to_o the_o french_a as_o they_o at_o first_o give_v out_o and_o that_o it_o cost_v they_o much_o more_o than_o they_o be_v then_o willing_a we_o shall_v know_v it_o be_v certain_a they_o tarry_v a_o very_a little_a while_n upon_o the_o field_n of_o victory_n and_o it_o be_v no_o less_o true_a that_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o pursue_v prince_n waldeck_n after_o the_o fight_n as_o be_v usual_a that_o he_o have_v all_o the_o leisure_n he_o can_v desire_v to_o make_v a_o slow_a retreat_n all_o the_o advantage_n that_o the_o french_a reap_v from_o this_o victory_n be_v only_o these_o that_o they_o put_v their_o enemy_n to_o great_a expense_n to_o recruit_v their_o army_n and_o that_o they_o maintain_v themselves_o in_o the_o spanish_a dominion_n and_o exact_v from_o thence_o most_o heavy_a contribution_n and_o which_o be_v more_o considerable_a they_o gain_v time_n so_o that_o the_o campaign_n be_v too_o far_o spend_v before_o their_o enemy_n be_v in_o a_o condition_n to_o attempt_v any_o thing_n considerable_a against_o they_o in_o the_o last_o place_n some_o look_n upon_o the_o management_n of_o this_o action_n as_o a_o thing_n that_o show_v the_o fineness_n of_o french_a counsel_n above_o all_o other_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o their_o garrison_n to_o gain_v a_o battle_n and_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o supply_v the_o smallness_n of_o their_o number_n but_o unless_o they_o be_v assure_v of_o victory_n this_o be_v a_o very_a imprudent_a course_n for_o what_o will_v have_v become_v of_o france_n have_v the_o enemy_n prove_v victorious_a her_o garrison_n will_v have_v be_v unfurnished_v without_o know_v where_o to_o get_v more_o force_n to_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o the_o slay_a it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o she_o may_v have_v lose_v the_o great_a part_n and_o that_o the_o enemy_n may_v have_v break_v into_o the_o kingdom_n put_v all_o before_o he_o to_o fire_n and_o sword_n and_o therefore_o this_o counsel_n of_o france_n will_v admit_v of_o no_o excuse_n but_o by_o say_v they_o be_v assure_v of_o victory_n finis_fw-la
