THE RELATION OF ALL THE LAST PASSAGES OF THE WARRES in the PALATINATE And how both Armies haue disposed themselues vnto further Enterprises IT was the happie counsell of Scipio the Noble and vallorous Romane in the graue Senate for the recovery of his lost country not to continue a Defensiue Warre against Hanniball in Italy but rather to passe with the Armie against Carthage it selfe the fountaine of their troubled Vexation as that which would be a meanes at least to draw their enemy from the gates of Rome into Affrica to defend their owne Cittie of Carthage Now of this advise he couragiously vndertooke the performance himselfe at the command of the State of Rome and performed it most succesfully to the safetie of his Country and his owne perpetuall honour If this pollicy of his hath oftentimes beene accounted worthy of imitation in the succeeding Ages and alwayes to deserue acclamation and prayse It is no strange matter nor need we to distrust their courage or their successe who at this day follow that course of proceeding in their Warres and therefore howsoever I doubt nothing at all but that after the ioyning of Brunswicks Army with the Count Mansfeilds they might haue opposed the Enemies in the Palatinate if it had not tended to the vtter devastation of that poore Country which hath languished so long vnder the miserable burthen of so great a Warre yet for the preservation of that remnant which is left they haue now happily taken the way to transport the warre and consequently the misery of it into the Enemies owne Country that they also may not be onely spectators of others calamities but may at length taste of the same Sauce they haue served others withall by a forced contribution at least of such money munition and meanes as for such a populous Armie is requisite of which its very probable they had some wants by reason of the disordered Disastar which befell the Brunswickers in passing the River of Maine where as it s sayd much Baggage was lost and some men Now I say for to furnish themselues againe with necessaries and to reinforce their Armie by some new supplyes from the Switzers and other friends haue they taken their way into Alsatia and so proceed as this following Relation doth amply declare From Frankendale the 10. of Iuly The Count Mansfeild after that he had ransomed divers Townes and places in Alsatia where hee recovered a great Summe of Money he layd siedge to a towne called Zanerice or Elsaszaberen but it was so well provided that he prevailed not but raised the siedge and marched away towards Lorraine Monsieur Tilly hearing of this who lay before Heidelbergh raised his siedge likewise and so marched away into Turlachs Countrey with the most part of his Armie having leaft onely 7. or 8 Thousand at Wimpfen and Don Gonzalo with the Spanish Forces at Landenbergh which lyeth now over against Wormes It is sayd heere That they were so brauely entertained by Syr Gerard Harbert Governor of the Castle and by the garrison in the Towne that they lost before Heidelbergh aboue 1500. men It is thought that Tilly wil make a bridg at Wimpfen some 3. Leagues off Heidelbergh over the Necker hee hath one already below at Landenbergh and that Don Gonzalo will make one over the Rhine aboue Wormes and Tilly one aboue Spiers at Ydenheim to blocke vp all the three Townes at once My Lord Generall Vere hath giuen order to the Governour of Germersheim to take possession of all the boates that hee possible can and to burne them that the Enemy be not served with them Turlach hath casseer'd his Armie and is retyred to his Countrey his Souldiers are vnder the commaund of the Barron of Helmstat and entertayned by Generall Vere Count Mansfeild hath sent backe one Regiment of foote vnder Waldmanshansen and 600. horse of Vbertrants band they are put in Garrison at Mainheim and Frankendale In the sayd places the Drum is dayly beaten in his Maiesties name to take vp souldiers From Pont a Mossen in Lorraine the 10. of Iuly Count Mansfeild and the Duke of Brunswicke haue demaunded passage of the Duke of Lorraine and obtayned it so they are entered into Lorraine and are now within 6. or 7. Leagues of this Towne all the countrey flying with their goods into the Townes Hee is strong 24000. men what hee will doe is vnknowne as yet all Lorraine is in Armes likewise All Burgundy and all Luzembergh take Alarum The King of France hath sent his Brother with 2000. horse to the Fronters to keepe them The King of Bohemia is in Selan with his vncle From Brussels the 13. of Iuly The Governour of Bergen ap zoon having received commandment from his Excellency the Prince of Orange to attend him with 2000 men of his Garrison for accomplishment of some service in hand was marching towards him but on the way had notice of the Enemies motion with great forces towardes that Towne to surprise it on the sodaine in his absence whereupon advising well on the businesse for hee stood in doubt whether hee should proceede foreward according to the commaund which he had received from the Prince for by that meanes he might hazard the towne expose it to the Enemies hands if the report of their intention that wayes were true or whether hee should retyre backe for to safe guard the Towne but so he might hinder the Execution of some exploit which would be no lesse prejudiciall to the State but being confirmed in their resolution who hold it better certainly to saue that they haue in possession thē to adventure it vpon an vncertaine hope of gaining more to it hee made backe againe with all possible speede and all little enough for about an houre after his entrance the Enemy shewed himselfe before the Towne and so haue proceeded very furiously in the siedge and haue received hitherto as valiant resistance but beeing already twentie thousand strong they looke for ten thousand more with the Marquis Spinola who arrived here the leventh of ●uly at night from Wezell or Lynberch he is to depart againe to day to his men who haue alreadie besieged Bergen ap Zoon and doe entrench themselues There are within twentie two Companies that defend it brauely and no doubt shall be releeved by the States FINIS
