A Jornall of certaine principall passages in and before the towne of S'hertogenbosh From the 18. of August till the first of September at what time they fell to capitulation concerning the Rendition of the towne From the Quarter of the Prince of Orenge at Vucht the 21 of August 1629. IN this siege the Prince of Orenge is very carefull and taketh good order for all at the same time the said Towne was battred as well from this quarter as of all other quarters as fast as the Ordnance could play so that they make great holes in the walls they within played very fiercely with their Ordnance The gallery was with all haste that could bee made almost brought into the walles on every side of the gallery is made a battery of two peeces of Ordance by the which we did keepe the Ordnance Ordnance of the Enemies within the Citty that they can doe nothing to hinder vs On the same day at night our Ordance played vpon the Citty all night long and there were yet some granads shot into the Towne The 22 came a Trumpetter from the Enemies into the Leager for to ransome and release the Crabatts which ours haue taken Prisoners in the defeating of the Comp. of Crabatts which we did defeat some dayes since Against night our Cannon begun againe to play vpon the walls and houses and continued the whole night through They within had put vpon the walles an Ancient with a Bourgous crosse which we shot al in peeces On the same night haue they within the Towne made an allarme calling fall to fall to and they came out in the meane while with some boates and tooke in the battery which lay betweene the great Sconce the quarter of Pinsen spoyling the victulers but found none Ordnance because it is everynight brought vnder the great Sconce and are so againe returned into the Towne Another the 22. of the same SInce yesterday we were speedily dispatched for the setting of the bints or beames so that now already are set into the ditches 41. bintes whereby to day there shall come ten more and all is gone well forth without any hinderance Last night haue ours with boates brought over the dommell into the ditch aboue 60. Sconcekorues for to make a new battery wherewith we shall hinder the Towne and yet we brought great store of earth and boughes for to fill vp the ditches For to see what the Enemies did within the Towne his Princely Excellence hath given order to be made two ladders with boates by the Vuchter gate But when ours were for to clime vpon the ladders they within did so furiously shoore vpon them that ours were forced to retire with the losse of 8. men slaine and 11. hurt and brought their ladders againe in the quarter Last night were brought vpon the end of the ditch two halfe Cortowes which did stand afore vpon the new battery and ours haue the same night sent some granads into the Towne which did worke well The 19. was slaine in the approaches of the Prince of Orange the Lieuetenant of the Collonell Vere Our troopes which haue beene out neere Tongeren in the County of Luike report that they haue vnderstood that the Emperour would besiege Laycke whereupon those of Luicke haue written for assistance vnto their Bishop which hee refused whereupon they laboured to haue assistance from other Potentates as of France and of Savoy From the quarter of his Highnes Count Ernest the 23. of August 1629. THe 17. we haue brought over the little gallery into the Horneworke and wee began presently to mine thereunder the 19. wee put a mine on fire which flew in the ayre and did worke well and there were slaine aboue 150. of the Enemies side whereupon we presently fell on our Enemies that were within the Towne and three severall times we were repulsed with great staues pikes and such other things whereby our side were killed and hurt two Captaines with one Lieutenant and some others Meane while we did play vpon the Towne with 8 halfe Curtowes as fast as the Ordnance could play which neverthelesse showed themselues vpon the walles Presently after that we began to myne again which we put on fire wrought well A Friesland Captain which had the watch there fell presently with all his forces vpon the same and made them within the Towne to retire but be cause hee was not presently assisted of his Lieutenant those of the Towne did make him retire back againe So that the said Captaine with some other soldiers were slaine and his sonne deadly hurt Yesterday after dinner time at three of the clocke we haue put on fire a myne by the Hornworke whereupon ours presently did fall with great force vpon them that they within not onely did retire but were forced to leaue altogether the Horneworke wherein now ours did fortifie themselues and approached to the Hintemer-gate The water mills dryed vp the Land round about the Towne The 19. ours haue gotten a Carre with powder which came from Hasselt out of the County of Luike saying that he would sell it in the Leager amongst the horsemen though it is not beleeved But it is likely they would haue brought it into the Towne in little sackes the powder is vnladen and the Carre-man is kept safely we haue shot this night vpon the Towne as fiercely as ever we haue done hitherto Another from the Leager before S'hertogenbosh the 23. SInce yesterday wee did not advance much with our gallery because they within did play very fast vpon our new gallery and haue spoiled two of our bintes or beames And wee are still busie to bring earth and bavins This whole night wee did play with our Ordnance vpon the houses and last night wee haue sent some granads into the Towne therefore they within did play very fast with their Ordnance Yesterday were taken by our men 50. horses and some Prisoners and brought vp to the Leager The Lord of Brederode hath this night played very fast both with his Cannon and musketts vpon the Towne wee hope in a short time to be in the walles by the Hintemer gate because there is no ditch betweene the Horneworke and the gate that can hinder vs. His Highnesse Count William doth advance well with his approaches and shot yesterday very fiercely vpon the Towne Another of the Leager before S'hertogenbosh the 24. 26 27. and 30. of August 1629. THe 24. we haue here in the Leager made bone-fires for the great victory of Wesel

after we had given thankes vnto the Lord and the Triumph was after the Leagers manner as followeth His Excellence commanded that none should begin before the signall of the Iacht before Creveceur were done The Princesse was her selfe vpon the walls of Creveceur and the Iacht played his Cannon then those of the fort Creveceur did play with 18. peeces and then were played by those of the Roudoutes along the ditch of the Bosh then the Lord Piusen then the great and little Sconces and then the Ordnance about the quarter of the Prince of Orange Then after those the quarter of Brederode from his fort against the Petteler There his Highnesse Count Ernest with his whole and halfe Cortowes as also at Orten When the Ordnance had played on all places began all the Muskettiers of the whole Leager Those of the quarter of his Princely Excellency began first and then Eastward the one after the other round about all the Leager as a running fire The Pikemen and the servants of the horsemen did carry burdens of straw vpon their Pikes and staucs going so through all parts of the Leager that it made a great light When the second charge of the Canon began was cast into the Towne a Morter what it did worke we did not heare yet Vpon the same time wee shot vpon the Towne all the Ordnance with the muskets and other fireworkes of flying dragons and fire piles we did not want so that the whole leager was like a flame The skippers in the quarter of Englen did burne pitch tonnes and did hang out lanternes on their masts These bonefires were seene of the Prince and of the Princesse but not of Grobbendouck because hee had the gout Betweene 24. and 25. those of our side brought a great store of Sconce korues vpon the end of the ditch where they are busie to make a battery And there was bespoken to be made a gallery for 28000. gilders along the ditch from the Vuchter bulworke vnto the gate where those of the Petteler Sconce went it and out the Towne were set Sconce korues and made Trenches for to hinder them to goe out and in the Towne In the night the Enemies did come out we thought they would haue come vpon the dommell but did nothing onely they tooke two or three Prisoners of my Lord of Beeverworts Comp. with a voluntary and hurt a messenger and slew a Wagoner so they retired with some losse of theirs Vpon the 25. in the night there were 45. bintes of our gallery brought over shal be made so strong that no firebals shall hinder them Our new batteries on each side of the gallery play still vpon the town when they see advantage for the defending of the gallery they are daily busie on the dommel behinde the defence or blinde and are yet busie to make two batteries with two Corps de gardes The Trenches which wee make from the Vuchter gate vnto the Petteler gate are stayed for a time because we haue need of earth and bavins for the galleries and batteries which is to be fetched a great way off Last night is brought hither great store of earth and bavins more then we can spend to day so that the gallery will speedily bee advanced The 26. wee played with our Ordnance fiercely vpon the Towne Yesternight wee learned out of the quarter of Count Ernest that of the Enemies most of them were departed from the Horne-worke and are retired in the halfe Moone Those of the quarters of Brederode Count William and Pinsen did their indeavours with their Ordnance Since the 26. at that day and last night is the Towne fiercely battred with Ordnance those within answered but few times our gallery before the Vuchter gate doth advance well and there are at this present brought over 51. bintes Our new Batteries with the Corps de gardes shall be ready to day and the gallery shall also bee brought over whereto already were brought great store of Materialls for to doe it with the first Wee haue yesterday sent some granads into the Towne Wee learne also from the quarter of Count Ernest that the Enemies yesterday did throw with granads vpon the Horneworke which wee haue gotten from them which hinder vs much so that the great gallery cannot speede so well Last night went out two Companies of horsemen and 200. fire lockes for to try their fortune and to see what the Enemies will attempt vpon vs because there was speach that they would try their fortune againe against vs. The water milles did not worke because the water did run very fast of it selfe and that the Mase began to grow little and doth run very fast downe We expect every day some newes because ours were very busie for to get wood bavins and earth so that it shall not be long ere we be Masters of the Towne Notwithstanding they put out vpon the walles on all sides the Bourgous Crosses Now presently we got tidings that the Enemies haue left the rest of their Horneworke by the Hintemer gate and that those of our side keepe their lodging there and that ours advance with all force their approaches by the halfe Moone Now at this present came one that ran out of the Towne which was brought to his Excellency wherefore the Committies of the high and mighty States are by his Excellency for to examine him he that was runne over said that the house of the Governour Grobbendouck was kept with 9. guards because the Burgers will speake with him and he will not heare them therefore the Burgers are in great alteration with him they would faine yeeld the Towne the Clergy seeke all practises for to appease the Burgers requiring them that they yet vvould haue patience for 14. dayes if not that they will employ some other meanes Among the Common Burgers there is great necessitie and two monthes since they haue not had in their houses neither butter nor cheese as it is reported by the said man which was runne out of the Towne further there is great mortality in the Towne there dyed of theirs 3400 men as well by shot as otherwise The 29 did those of our side play very fiercely vpon the Towne On the same day is brought here great store of earth and bavins with ships there are already set 55. bintes wee cannot set two bintes more Last night did seven men worke all night in the gallery Those horsemen and firelockes whereof I haue spoken here before haue defeated a convoy of the Enemies which went for Breda there were slaine about 50 men and haue brought Prisoners with them 40. men with a Ritmaster and a Lieutenant with a Cornet and betwixt 70. or 80. braue horses well furnished On the 29. we began to make another gallery betweene the Corps de garde whereof already are set 6. bints running straight vpon the towne On the same day in the quarter of Count Ernest is brought about 200. wagons with bavins for the great gallery

On the same day we haue throwne great store of bavins and earth into the ditch so that there doe vvant but tvvo Rods and vve thought betvveen the 29. and 30. to fill the rest of the ditch but those of the tovvne did play so fiercely vpon vs that it vvas vnpossible they throvy novv every night vvith pitchd crausses for to see vvhereabouts ours doe vvorke vve hope neverthelesse next monday to myne againe Those of the Tovvne haue this night made a fire vpon the steeple vvhereupon vve presume that it vvill not endure long vvith them The 30. is here taken Prisoner a Boor vvhich did take money of both sides The Ritmaster Pannecouck vvhich vvas slaine in the defeating of the said convoy is buried to day At Middleborrow a man called Cock whose Father had beene Borromr of Flushing was beheaded on the 23. because he had advertised the Enemies the designes and enterprises of the Prince of Orenge in former times as also the secrets vvhich hee could heare of the East and West India Companies that hee vvas familiar vvith great persons of State The 24. vvas at Revesteiu quartered a Traytor vvhich thought to yeeld the Tovvne being a Captaine des armes Here followeth a Sermon made by the Bishop within the Towne in S.
