East Confines of Hessenland still touching vpon Duringen Allendorss and Eis●hwege and being on the Westerne banckes of the Riuer W●●●a on Has●●a side and the other two on the East towards Duringen and all foure are in the way from Isenach Cru●tzbergh and Ber●ka where his Quarters last lay towards the County of Plesse and Bishopricke of Eischvelt whither hee then went which is to the North of Hessenland The Towne of Duderstadt whereabouts Brunswicke lies being left to the East and right hand of him and still somewhat before him And thus with driuing away the Cattell in getting vp all the meat Corne flesh wine and all such prouision that Souldiers need and vse thus to make booty of they drew all vp into the Bishopricke of Eischvelt all I say saue onely the three insatiable Regiments as our Le●e●s call them of the Duke of Saxen La●●nburg the D●ke of Holstem and of Furstenberg who being vsed to pillaging for which they haue beene obserued more then the rest of their fellowes would not follow the Army but falling to their old trade of foraging they came short home of which aduenture with the manner also of the archieuement wee shall now tell you more by and by Wee left Duke Christian in our last at the Fort of Duderstad● in the ●ishopricke of Eischvelt of his march thither with the order of his Army we haue since receiued this following particular The 16 of Iune stylo novo the Duke Christian beganne to march vpwards with his whole Forces being 28000 Horse and Foote which fayre Army was diuided into three Squadrons or Diuisions the Vantguard the Battaile and the Arrierguard The Van was led by Duke William of Saxen We●mar the Duke of Brunswicke himselfe had the m●ine Battaile or body of the Army The Re●re was brought vp by Collonell Kniphowsen In this faire and wa●like equipage the 28 of Iune they by faire and easie marches came into the Bishopricke of Eischvelt all the three Diuisions together both Horse Foot Baggage Cannon and Ammunition so that they were 12. dayes in this march from Halberstad● to Eischvelt This order of their march with their number strengths prouisions and resolutions was as the Letters doe report by priuate intelligence of some Camp-Traytors particularly described vnto Mons● Tilly which was at last discouered by an intercepted Letter with a further practice also of correspondency with the Enemy how a plot should bee laid to deliuer the Duke of Brunswicke into Mons Tillies hands aliue The Discouery being thus happily made the Traytor was by his owne hand writing found out apprehended and sent prisoner vnto Duke Christians Brother the Duke of Brunswicke residing at his towne Wolfenbuttle Thus the whole state of the Campe being made knowne vnto the Enemy caused the Duke to double his guards and looke to his watches more narrowly and to entrench and to fortifie himselfe the more strongly whereupon followed the building of this Fort at Duderstads where the Army now rested and to lay his men at more security the towne of Heigerstad which belongeth vnto the Bishop Elector of Mentz was for the time taken in and souldiers quartered in it And thus write the seuerall Letters from the neighbour places Brunswicke lying hereabouts and Monseur Tilly hauing drawne his Forces as neere that ●ay as should serue his owne turne for the cutting off of the others passages and putting betweene him and those places whither he suspected Brunswicke to be likely to march The Armies lay at this distance and posture some few dayes awaiting some occasion of aduantage which thus at last presented it selfe after some weeke or 9. daies expectation Tilly hauing giuen order that all his Army should follow him out of Hessenland into Eischuels the three vnsatiable Regiments of the Duke of Saxen Lawenburgh of Holstein and Furstenberg afore-mentioned would needs trye their fortunes abroad awhile thinking first to serue their owne turnes of sorrage vpon the Countrie and then to recouer to the place appointed for the generall Rendezvous safely and time enough With this resolution they first of all pillage and set fire afterwards to the towne of Almer●de and other townes in Hessenland which lay betweene their last quarters of Bercka and the Riuer of Werra toward Hisch●elt aforesaid which townes they l●●uing burnt or aburning they came to the towne of Witzenhowsen aforesaid where their Generall had left a Garison of his owne There passing the bridge the Regiment of Furstenberg vpon what occasion I know not would needs part company and make towards the Camp But the other two Regiments of Saxen Lawenburg and Holstein not thus contented would needs turne againe to the Northwest and left hand of the Country contrarie to their Generals directions who suspecting that hee might haue vse of his whole Army had commanded all to keepe together but these two being horse Regiments and for that trusting to come in at pleasure fell vpon the Hassi●n Lordship of Plassa or Plessen as we take it Gottingen and Bodenste●n all which are by name expressed in our Letter To one of which places the Duke of Saxen Lawenberg would needs send 20. of his horse to be quartered But the Boers of the Country being frighted with this approach of their enemies whom they knew by their colours to be the Harpies that they had before heard of presently tooke the Hubbub and away they goe with it towards Duderstad to Duke Christians quarters to which the towne of Dodenstein was something too neare to be aduentured vpon to bee for●aged by a party of horse in such a neerenesse of an Army Royall Hrunswicke hauing by these frighted Boers and his owne Skowts gotten true and timely intelligence of these two Regiments thus stragling from the droue presently sent out the Count of St●rum with 400. Dragoniers and 300 other horse together with Colonell ●●●ip●owsen with 700. Muskettier● and 3 troops of horse how many were o● these last 3. troopes of horse of Colonell Kniphowsen is vncertaine but it is likely that they altogether made vp enough to encounter the two Regiments of enemies who might well bee betwixt three or foure thousand men if not full so many The Boers and Skowtmasters that brought the newes leading these Brunswickers the right way to meet with them an ambush was presently drest in a place of couert and aduantage the order of the forragers was thus The Regiment of the Duke of Saxen Lawenberg went before their baggage and pillage wi●h which they had filled 160. Wagons as ou● Letters mention were disposed in the middle and the Duke of Holsteins Troopes closed vp the Reere They were it seemes drawing homeward and their martiall order was not as it appeares any better then that of foragers vses to be wild and in single Troopes and scattered Bands or at least their enemies had taken such order with them that the place where they meant to giue them the Bon jour and to set vpon them should not bee so ●it for
