where they were raising a Battery He received the blow in the midst of his Heart at the same instant that he stopt his Horse to speak to Saint Hilaire Lieutenant of the Artillery Saint Hilaire had one Arm carried away at the same time and said a thing very remarkable to two of his Sons who wept to see him in that Condition Alas Children said he you ought not to weep for me but this Great Man shewing them the Viscount Turenne which is the most irreparable Loss that France has ever suffered Perhaps there was never seen any Example of a Grief which was so great and general at the same time and I cannot think that of the Roman People after the Death of Marcellus Germanicus or Titus could be compared to the Condition France was in upon this Occasion Especially it 's impossible to express the Concern of the Soldiers It appeared for several days together after his Death to be very fresh and moving Those who commanded the Army having caused a Halt to be made to hold a Council what way they should take the Soldiers concerned to see the Delay of their Resolutions began to say aloud and with one Voice They have nothing to do but to let la Pie which was an Excellent Horse known by the whole Army and one that the Viscount Turenne generally mounted go loose and where the poor Creature stops let them encamp there In the distant Provinces where this Prince was scarce known but by his Reputation the News of his Death made a very surprizing Impression the Nobility and People for several days together could speak of nothing else but the Greatness of their Loss Many bewailed him without having ever seen him Some excited to this Grief by the Memory of his Actions others in Consideration of the Services which he might still have rendered them and all in general as being sensible of the extraordinary Misfortune by which so Great a Man came to his End At Paris and the Countries thereabouts and particularly upon the Frontiers which were the Seat of War the Passion was more touching and lively because they knew him better and were used to see him come back every Winter with a new Load of Glory In short it seemed as if his Loss had been the entire Defeat of an Army or that each private Person in the whole Kingdom had lost their best Friend or their whole Fortune Since in his Life-time there came out a Comparison between Him and Caesar I think I may Remark That as the small Agreement that there is between a Monarchy and a Republick made them tread different Paths to Glory so their Deaths bore no greater Resemblance Caesar was assassinated in the time of Peace by his own Citizens whom he had oppressed and the Viscount Turenne lost his Life in War with his Arms in his hand beloved by all the World and serving his King and Countrey without any other Interest than that of Glory and the Performance of his Duty He began to appear in the Reign of Lewis the XIII th and being upheld by his Merit and Quality he pass'd without Favour or Disgrace all the time that Cardinal Richlieu was Master of Affairs Under Cardinal Mazarine's Ministry Fortune used him variously but for the last 20 Years of his Life he had no Reason to complain of her He found a thousand Occasions of gaining such a Glory as will be immortalized by all the Histories of Europe and he esteem'd himself so much the happier in living under a King who had all the Qualities desireable in a Master and who treated him with such Confidence and Esteem that he might love him as a Friend I leave it to such as write his History to say how far he extended the King's Conquests in the last War and what his Thoughts were touching the Affairs in Germany No one knew certainly what the Motives were that made him take so long and difficult a March to seize that Post where he was slain all we can learn is that some hours before his Death he had promised himself great Advantages from this last Action of his Life and he was so far from all Presumption that when he began to think well of his own Undertakings other People might take his Hopes for an entire Certainty of a happy Success so that if those who were at the Head of the Army after his Death have deserved Rewards and Praises the Viscount Turenne being no less above them in his great Knowledge of War than by his Quality of General We have Reason to think that the Event of a Design which he had so long before premeditated would have been much more Great and more Glorious FINIS Books Printed for and Sold by Thomas Bennet at the Half-Moon in St. Paul's Church-Yard FOLIO'S A Thenae Oxonienses Or an exact History of all the Writers and Bishops who have had their Education in the University of Oxford from 1500. to the end of 1690.
