But sone after wee met with twelue Companies of Boores which would stop our passage Whereupon Duke Christian commanded a field-Piece with smal Bullets to be discharged against them whereupon they fled and retyred into a Wood. And Count Mansfield as likewise the Duke Christian of Brunswick commanded the Villages thereabouts to be fired which was also performed This was ten Leagues from Gemblours where we receiued Don Cordua's Letter declaring that hee was resolued to fight with vs. Whereupon wee espying afterwards Don Gonzales Campe wee set our Forces in Battell-array Duke Christian assaulted the enemie first with 600. horse The Count of Styrum followed presently with his Regiment the like did Count Harman and diuerse other Counts and Lords afterwards Count Mansfield the Count of Ottenburg the Rhinegraue and Colonel Ploech euery one with their seueral Regiments came to second the other as likewise the Regiment of the Duke of Saxon Weymar and the Landgraue of Hessen and they fell so valiantly vpon the enemie that they caused him to retire At the first encounter the Horse of the enemie fled whereupon we assaulted his Foot and Count Mansfield and Count Harman went to take the Ordnance of the enemie which they did and caused them twice to be discharged vpon our enemies hoping that our Foot would haue come on but did not so that we were forced afterwards to leaue them againe Neuerthelesse our two Peeces played vpon the enemies Foot without missing and their Ordnance did not annoy vs because it stood too high and shot ouer our Camp In the meane time the Count of Mansfield the Duke Christian and the Count of Ottenburg rode about the Army encouraging the Souldiers to fight valiantly and did themselues the like by reason whereof diuerse Lords and Officers on our side are hurt but few slaine Duke Christian had on his backe a White Sattin Doublet and a Blew Feather vpon his head and hauing his sleeues drawne vp hee slashed brauely among the enemies with his Sword but was afterwards hurt with a shot in his Arme. On the enemies side there are diuers Commanders and a great number of the common Souldiers slaine and notwithstanding wee haue lost many they haue lost more and God be praysed wee haue gotten the victorie The Battell being ended wee were so wearie that wee could not pursue our victorie and our Horses could not stand almost any longer vpon their legges which caused vs to rest for a while and to refresh our selues and the Duke being yet in heat was conducted out of the Campe at the same time by the Count of Styrum and two Gentlemen But afterwards wee marching againe in Battell-array were within the space of a League encountred with diuerse Boores and others which would stoppe our passage but wee set vpon them and slew foure hundred of the same the rest wee berest the next Morning of their Apparrell and Armes And from thence wee went straight on taking our way towards Tongeren where wee strengthened our selues a little and tarryed a while for the Horse and Foot which were behind and our Horse being well accompanied marched the same Night within six Leagues of Breda This is set downe by one which hath beene in the Battell himselfe Printed at Vtrecht by Ian Amelisson for Crispin de Pas.
