cheered vp his Sould●ours to fight in the behalfe of his Majesties ●ighte both the armies ioyned aswell Horsemen as footemen in the ende whereof the enemye hauing made very small resistance was by the wonderfull prouidence of God suddenly stricken with a great feare insomuch as they might scarse staye any longer which his Maiesties Souldiours and leaders perceiuing gaue them such a hotte charge The flying and pursuit of the enemy that they turned their backs and fled Wherevpon his maiesties power pursued them two miles from Londiac where the enemie staied with those Horsemen that escaped in a Towne or hold helde by their fauourers hauing lost many footemen beside fiftie Horsemen slaine as manye more taken prisoners and sundry other that were sore hurt The footemen that were scattered and dispearced in multitudes seeing their horsemen fled slaine or taken prisoners sought to saue themselues by flight who so speedily as they might ranne into the woods which were neere at hand and there hid themselues This newes came to Mouncounter The enemy flieth from Mouncounter which was spéedily blazed throughout all the enemies troups by meanes wherof there arose such a generall feare among them that they retired from Mouncounter with all possible speed leauing the Town frée from any strength of the enemy But the saide Mounsier de la Tremblaye béeing in the Castle and séeing how wonderfullye it had pleased God to bring these thinges to passe for the ease and quietnes of his Maiestie and for the ouerthrowe of his enemies he with his company issued foorth of the Castle and séeing them gone out of Mouncounter The enemy by flight was pursued and all of them slaine he with his forces made a greater charge vpon the enemy then was at the firste and followed them imediatly when setting vpon them with great courage they were all in generall slain and taken Prisoners by meanes whereof they got both bagge and baggage from the Leagars Sithence that time my saide Lord the Prince of Dumbes being departed towards Quimparcorentem in Lowe Brittainie Other garrisons of the enemy slaine the Garrisons of the enemye would haue charged vpon some of his troupes that went foorth of the saide Towne but hauing béene preuented by good foresight the saide Garrisons were ouerthrowne by the said Lord Prince of Dumbes who lost not one man in the saide ouerthrowe of the enemy There

prisoners who are yet liuing Neuertheles all the rest were followed in chase and vpon the pursuite were all put to the Swoord THus may you sée how the Lord dayly fighteth for his Maiestie how he saueth the godly and destroieth the wicked how the King prospereth while his enemies perisheth how contrarye to mans expectation the King in shew being weakest is found in the ende to be the strongest and that which his enemies for a while by force holdeth frō him they are by the outstretched arme of God compelled in the end to render vnto him O vnspeakable blessing and heauenlye comfort a comfort farre excelling all earthly comforts which appertaineth to none but to the faithfull beleeuers seruants and followers of Christ Iesus And although the cheefest Citties appertaining to his Maiestie haue béene for a while by force detained from him as Paris Roan and such like yet there is no doubt but that God in the end yea and that speedily wil compell them either to deliuer the same to his Maiestie or else by famine to weaue the web of their own confusion And now to you I doo addresse my pen O ye disloyall subiects of Fraunce that contend rebell and resist against your lawfull soueraigne when it is bye time for you to be better aduised Sée you not your perrill or rather is it so deepe as hell which though you cannot thorowly measure it yet maye you iustly feare it remember your selues betimes and know that your disturbance of the state is like to be the ouerthrow of the state without almightie God doo woork your spéedyer conuersion eche man séeeth the horrour of your fact and yet your selues cannot or at least will not behold the same come out of darkenes if you loue your owne welfare open your eyes that you maye see your owne misdemeanours and humble your selues vnto his Maiestie yea I admonishe you for the honor of God for the quietnes of the Realme for the safety of your selues your liues possessions wiues and children yea and for the preseruation of your own soules from euerlasting death that you withdraw your selues from disloyall dealing against your soueraigne your taking armes against his maiestie is an act most detestable yea your fact is odious and not pardonable and yet knowe your King is gratious he is mercifull naye readier to conceiue well of you then he is to condemne you if ●e you would leaue following of your vngodlye leaders that haue by wicked perswasion incensed you to this disloialty You take arme against your King and are parties with Arch-traitors who to discredit the title of his Maiestie haue drawne false pedigrées to cullour their treason shewing by great falsshood that the house of the Guize in whose behalfe you fight is the next and right heire to the inheritance of the diadem of Fraunce which how far they are from trueth let the Princes and chéefe peeres examine and iudge without affection then shall trueth ouerthrowe your traiterous perswaders and you the most forwardest that now standeth in the defence therof shall sée manifest proofe that none but Henry of Burbone is your lawfull King and whom you ought dayly to pray for and dutifully to obeye The God of heauen prosper and blesse his Maiestie graunt vnto him victorie still ouer his enemies that either his Subiectes may with speede be reconciled to obedience or else that they may be speedily confounded in thir wilfull stubbornnes Amen

Good newes from Fraunce A true Discourse of the winning of sundry cheefe Townes Castles and holdes in Fraunce which are now in the obedience of the French King With the great Victorie which his Maiestie hath had in sundry late Battels Skirmishes and pursuites made vpon the enemy at Mouncounter in Brittanie and else where since the winning of Chartres which was in Aprill last Together with the defeating drowning and taking of much victuaile corne and mony sent by the Enemy to the Cittie of Paris Published by Authoritie AT LONDON Printed for Thomas Nelson and are to be solde by William Wright To the Curteous Reader WHo so beholdeth and considereth the present estate of the French King may easily see and perceiue how vnspeakable and of what power the woorkes of God are in the defence of those that put their trust in him he still preserueth this good King from danger he giueth him strength being weake to ouercome those that are the mightye enemies of his trueth It cannot be otherwise saide but that the God of heauen dooth aide and assist his Maiestie that beateth downe his enemies in the high way that daunteth them with feare and giueth him a magnanimious minde against them Terror and maiestie sitteth in the forehead of this christian King and the Creator of all creatures preserueth him as the apple of his eye if then it cannot be denied but that euen in all his honourable and Princely actions against the rebellious and wilfull people of that nation who are risen vp in great multitudes and armies against him the God of heauen goeth foorth before him and as it were with a Clubbe striketh downe that wicked and rebellious rout to the amazement and terrour of the whole worlde how dare they then resist him and repugne him of his right naye how dare they attempt to take armes against God and their lawfull Soueraigne not fearing that God yea that God whose power is vnspeakable whose terrour in the defence of his trueth is as a burning Swoord and whose right hand woorketh their destruction O peruerse rabble of traiterous subiects O blinde and wilfull in all wickednes and A true discourse of all such things as hath happened in Fraunce since the yeelding vppe of Chartres vnto his Maiestie Faithfully translated out of French THE Kings Maiestie hauing entred into the Town of Chartres vpon the 19. day of Aprill last His Ma. departure frō Chartres after hee had beene most roially receiued into the same according to the Romane Computation and beeing receiued with great triumph into the same and all thinges performed vnto his Maiestie according to certaine Articles already published his Maiestie béeing accompanied with a great troupe of Horsemen The Duke de Maine flyeth and retyreth towardes Rheims went towardes the Castell of Thiery purposing to rayse the siedge which the Duke De Mayne had layde against it But the Duke contrary to his Maiesties expectation durst not be so bolde as to stay there but gotte from thence by flight although contrary to the promise of the Gouernour the saide Castell Thiery was surrendred to the enemies vse wheras the said Gouernour had promised to hold it one Moneth longer vntill the comming of hys Maiestie Neuerthelesse his Maiestie left not to pursue the Duke De Mayne who was retyred towards Rheimes meaning there to stay himselfe for a space but by reason of the brute which was noysed all ouer the Countrey that the Duke had deuided his Armie into sundry parts and that they shoulde continue in that sorte for certaine dayes The Castle of Dowsery and of Clay yeelded was the onely cause that the Kings Maiestie staied three dayes at Senlis to the end that in the meane while the Castell of Dousery and Claye lying neere to Aumartin where the Enemies kept some Souldiours might be taken which was speedily doone whereupon his Maiestie in the pursute Tremblay yeelded commaunded the Towne of Tremblay by Montfort to yeelde to his obedience which they did which Towne is a great hurt to the passage Meanewhiles Mounsier the Duke Despernon and the Lords Deo and Vicq vnderstanding of a great number of Boates passing the Riuer which were of the bignesse of Lighters and that they were going downe towards Parris laden with Corne and other commodities which came from the saide Castell of Thiery Certaine boates laden from the Castle of Thiery with wheat and money willingly drowned to hinder the enemie they omitted no time but with force sette forward with great dilligence to ouertake them which hauing speedily doone they presently drowned foureteene or fifteene of the greatest of them with all the prouision in the same and aswell drowned all their cheefe prouision of Wheate as also prouision of money which was carried in the same Boates so that there escaped but a fewe small Boates Some small boates escaped which with some small prouision of Corne saued themselues by flight The Kings Maiestie departed from his Armie to Auneau Macheuiuille Auneau Macheuiuille yelded which Townes are also reduced vnder hys Maiesties obedience and shortly after the Kings Armie remooued to Dourdan Durdon entered by force which Towne they immediatly entred by force wherein was founde great store of victuals which were gathered and intended also to be conueied to Parris Thus the Kings Maiesties power hauing cutte them off and defeated the Enemie of great store of victuals the Marshall Biron gaue aduise to the Kinges Maiestie for the speedy taking of the Castell howbeit it was very strong but being obtained it is the onely meane to depryue them of Parris of all manner of commodities and succour whatsoeuer The inhabitants of Parris Paris depriued of all passage for prouision or victuals are now striken into a great feare by reason of the losse of Chartres and also by finding themselues depriued of victuals money Munition and all other warlike prouisions for theyr strength and succour as hath béene lately séene by sundry Letters intercepted from the Bishop of Pleasance and Mounsier Belin who is the chiefe Commaunder or Ruler in the said Cittie of Parris Nowe hys Maiestie lying at Senlis came from thence to Crespij in Valloyes from whence the next day he departed earely
