of Horse should bring up the Canon and Rear the time of the Onset to be break of day The night proved blustering and wet so that our Army fell not upon the Enemy at the hour appointed till it was somewhat later in the Morning their Motions being soon descryed by the Enemy who before any of ours came up had put himself in so good a posture to receive them as he had the advantage of his Canon and Foot against our Horse onely which according to order first charged the Enemy while that our Foot was coming up opposition was made by the Enemy with very great Resolution a very hot dispute at Swords point being between our Horse and theirs Five Companies of our Foot that were first commanded out after they had discharged their dutie being over-powred by the Enemy received ●ome repulse which they soon recovered the Generals Regiment timeously coming in who God eminently assisting them with Courage at the push of Pike did break the stoutest Regiment the Enemy had and totally routing them did full execution upon them which proved as great an advantage to us as it was a terror amazement to the residue of their Foot nor was the issue in the mean time less successful in our Horse who being carryed on by the same Divine Power and Presence did with a great deal of spirit and valour daunt the Resolution of the Enemy charging through and through the Bodies both of the Enemies Horse and Foot who after the first Repulse were as Stubble before them And now the best of the Enemies Horse and Foot being in less then an hours dispute broken and their whole Army put into confusion it became a total Rout our men having the chase and execution of them near eight miles in all which Fight notwithstanding it is credibly affirmed our Army lost not thirty men so great was the mercy and protection of God over them And thus in the thing wherein they dealt proudly the Lord shewed himself to be above them causing their foot to slide in the duest time even when he had reduced our Army
