But presently repossessed by Tillies Forces Hither Generall Tilly thus wounded in the Battell of Leipsig made shift to flie that night and had his wounds dressed by the Town-barber of Hall This City of Hall is but 7. Dutch miles distant from the place of Battell wherein the Imperiall Army was quite defeated and beaten out of the Field being miserably slaine and trodden downe in the chase And had the King of Sweden had but 3. houres more of day-light scarcely had 1000.

After a long fight the Northern Army obtained the victory from the other This Prodigy was seene the said two dayes for the space of an houre in the cleere heaven After the Battell was ended a Man in a long coate appeared two severall times bearing a bow shooting and prostrating the leader or commander of the Southern Army Betwixt this Towne Aschertlben and Tangermund in the moneth following July the 8. happened a sharpe conflict betwixt the Swedes and Imperialists Pappenheim then Commander of 4.

thousands of the Inhabitants of that Dukedome in those last warres and especially after the Battell and in the Battell of Norlingen have lost their lives is too well knowen to the Christian World in which bloody Battell how many thousands on both sides were slayne no man had certainty of it Amongst which were many brave Colonels and chiefe Commanders as the Marquesse of Auspach 5. Colonels divers Captaines and Officers all dead in the bed of honour Anno 1634. the 24. of Aug.

Imperialists which were out in pieces upon the place besides those that were drowned and others found dead in Cellars Chambers and elsewhere as many more perchance 300. Swedes also there staine and 100. hurt At Lansbergen in the front of Silesia 300 Swedish souldiers over-confident of their valour were put to the sword by the Crabats which Town the King the 15. of Aprill took in by assault with slaughter of 300. Imperialists but of his own men no lesse then 600. lost their lives In this time at Cressin in Silesia 200. Imperialists attempting the recovery of the same Towne were slain by the Swedes A strange prodigie in the heaven happened at Gierslet in the Dukedome of Anhalt the 12. of May Anno 1624 which continued from 6 till 8. clock at night and was observed by the Inhabitants of the same Town in this manner First of all came forth out of the clouds an Ancient with a red Hungarian habit after him followed some grave men clothed in the like habit Thirdly came forth a Chariot with two horses of divers sprinkled colours and another Chariot with foure armed horses Suddenly did breake out of the clouds an infinite number of people like a swarme of Bees with such aforesaid Hungarian habit and with Hungarian hats upon their heads with great Feathers After them followeth a man sitting upon horse-back with a great long robe putting the people before him After this did follow a Comet iuxia aquilam with inclining head A quarter of an houre after came forth another Army consisting of many horses and foot and Chariots having hoods of broad rands with Feathers In the midst of the Army appeared a man alone drawing before him a long red crosse before which hee made some prayers with extended hands These the following Army presently rowted and defeated All these Forces marching towards the Townes of Aldershliben Hirshliben and turning at the last-towards Sandersliben with red clouds oppressed vanished away The day before it rained blood at Wemsham in Bohemia and likewise two Armies appeared in the aire skirmishing together This portentuous prodigie issued out perhaps in the bloudy battell which was fought at Dessaw● bridge in the same Dukedome of Auhalt the 25. of Aprill Anno 1626. where Count Manifield came with his Army before the Imperiall Sconce against which he cast up 3. Batteries from whence he night and day thundred upon the Imperialists But the Duke of Fridland comming to succour the Imperialists utterly defeated the Mansfieldish Forces whereof were slain 3000. upon the place amongst them 3. Colonels and other Officers Of the Imperialists 1000. also slaine The day before that the prodigie happened at Giersleb it rained blood about Fridberg in Silesia and two Armies also appeared in the heaven fighting for a long time together Three yeers after happened a bloudy encounter about the same place ●e●re the Towne of Fridberg For the Duke of Fridland fo●ding Colonell Pechman with 7000 Horsemen and Dragoners to pursue the Danish and Weinmarish troops there began a sore fight betwixt thē where at the last all the Danish forces were ruinated and killed 10. Companies of them taken prisoners the Imperiall Commander Pechman himselfe with divers other Officers slaine Anno. 1624. the 8. May a strange Tempest happened at Ratisbon full of admiration When there was a great calme with a little raine two darke Clouds met together which sodainly belched out a wind intermingled with fire and raised such a Tempest as hath not bin knowne in the memory of man It was first perceived neere the Wood before the City where it tore up the Trees by the roots and as in a moment drave them to divers places and thence extending it selfe to the City overturned more then two hundred houses in the Towne and Suburbs which had not a chimney left standing nor a peece of the roofe to cover it not sparing the Churches the Church of Emerant besides the shattered windowes having one of the Steeples laid fat to the ground and the other broke off in the middle two of the chiefest Steeples being blown downe with the destruction of a Cloyster which cannot be well repaired with many thousand Florens This was the progresse yet the end was more wonderfull both in its time of duration and the bounds of the Tempest It was then supposed to be raised by some damned Sorcerers who by the assistance of the Prince of the Ayre had caused this outrage The instrument of this desolation was limited both to time place and persons the time lasted not above a quarter of an houre the Hericano so we may call it though the true one was never seen in Europe did not dilate it selfe beyond the City where it rent up some few Trees and killed foure men This City of Ratisbone was ten yeeres after this strange Tempest Anno 1634. in the moneth of May streightly besieged and assaulted by the Imperiall and Bavarian Army consisting of 30000. Foot and 15000 Horse when they night and day battered it with an hundred pieces of Ordnance but were valiantly every Battell repulsed by the Swedish Garrison and the Inhabitants with the slaughter of 4000. Imperialists in the last assault Many brave Commanders and Officers lost their lives in this siege The Garrison and Citizens having for a long time behaved themselves stoutly in defence of the City even to the admiration of the Imperialists who had lost before it by their owne relation 8000. men that were slaine upon the place 6000. others who had run away made 15000. Canons shot upon the Towne cast above 2000. Granadoes into it endured 465. sallyes from within the City at last they
the Oder but at last the Imperialists in great haste retyred themselves from Breslaw some North east-ward to Namstaw others North-west-ward-to Auris whence was thought they would have gon out of the Country Newes afterwards was brought that other Swedish had slaine 200. horsemen more at Olaw-Bridge Whilest the Swede was thus employed about Breslaw the Saxons follow the Caesarians towards the passe at Olaw where all day and night the Saxon Ordnance so thunderd into the Wood that so soone as ever the Saxons came over the Bridge the Imperialists tooke the rout at it leaving 2. peeces of Ordnance behinde them There were 1200. Imperialists said to bee slaine October the third did Breslaw accord with the Swedish Commander Dubalt yeelding to maintaine those 600 Foot and 1000 horsemen which he already had about the Cathedrall Church which is in the Suburbs At Hamborow the 3. of May 1627. a prodigy was seene in the Heaven not without terrour of the Citizens and Inhabitants It appeared first a circle and therein the accustomed face of the Sunne but in the edge of the circle five other Sunns round about the first appearing Sun with an interposed Rainbow afterwards two other Sunnes with another part of a Rainebow one extending towards the West the other towards the South were to be seen at the last all this vanished in a burning smoake This City of Hamborow lyeth upon the front of Holstein wheresome leagues off betwixt Bredenborg and Itz●ho in the same yeare the Imperiall Count of Slick fought a Battell against the Marquis of Durlach then Commander of the Danish Army where the said Marquis lost the field his Army rowted and a great many of them slaine upon the place 32. pieces of Ordnance and 42. Ensignes taken by the Imperialists whereupon they suddainly surprised the Fort of Bredenborg putting to the sword all that they found in Armes Not long after this Count of Slick having notice that 24. Danish Compaines with 200 hors-men were enquartered about Froyborg some miles distant from Hamborow he with all his forces over tooke them cut in pieces 300. of them 3000. of the Danish hors-men sticking in moorish places were all taken prisoners Betwixt Hamborow and Stoad in the end of April Anno 1632. happened another conflict Generall Pappenheim being come with an Army of 10000. horse and foot into Stoade had the passage into Keydinger land open where was a Swedish Regiment of Generall Major Leslyes and 4. Companies of Colonell Monroes enquartered upon these falls Pappenheim cuts them off all takes 19. Colours and some Captaines and Officers prisoners At Sanderborn in Pomerland Appeared a great Army and the northern side preuailed This 1628. yeare was full of portentuous prodigies which were seen in many and divers places At Sunderbory in Pomerland the Heaven being open an Army appeared comming from the Northern parts the Avantguard thereof being Pioners and Muskettiers hereupon did follow great peeces of Cannons and Ordnances the reere was concluded by Cavallery or horsemen Another Army came forth on the other side against the first where began a fiery and hot skirmish betwixt them but the victory enclined to the Northern Army At last a right fiery beame followed upon the Northren Conquerour which beame put forth fiery rayes or beames and continued thus prodigiously for the space of some houres A prediction of a great Astronomer of the English Nation and his judgment upon that great conjunction of Saturne and Iupiter July 18.
