diverse other parts of his body stitcht up hee reflected on himselfe and beleeved the Prophecy should bee accomplished by his hand But this needes no other confutation then the absence of Pappenheim and the time when the King received his hurt which was in the very beginning of the Assault before Pappenheim could make one of the adverse party I may add that the discretion of this worthy Count would not have sufferd him to runne into an errour so uncivill as to speake so undecently to a Prince of that eminency When the King had received this mortall wound which pierced him through and through he fell from his Horse and gave up the Ghost with nothing but my God in his mouth He that made this accursed shot was beaten downe with a storme of Harquebusados and sacrifised to the indignation of the Swedes But while the Groome of the Kings Chamber and diverse others lighted to raise the body the charge beganne againe more furiously then ever the Enemy having taken notice of this blow and concluding that all was now finisht and that hee should have Swedes good cheape This hindered the Kings servants from bearing of his body and summond every man to regaine the stirrupe and withstand the foe so that the King could not bee defended from receiving another pistoll shot in the head and being twice runne through with a sword The Imperiallists fearing him even after death and cowardly suspecting his speedy resurrection The poore Groome of his Chamber never forsooke him but breath'd his last upon his Masters carcasse after the receipt of an infinity of wounds But neither the Kings death nor the great oddes that the enemie had being strongly entrenched in divers places could let the Swedes madded with their inestimable losse from assaulting the Imperiallists with an unspeakable furie insomuch that they compelled the Battalion of Cuirassiers which made the left Wing to retire into their Trenches whom they dislodged about noone and gayned seven of their Cannon together with many Colours and Cornets Lieutenant Coronell Relinguen received commaund to advaunce and with three hundred Horse to charge foure Regiments of Crabbats commaunded by Isolani which made the right wing of the Enemy which hee performed with so much braverie and courage that hee twice pearc'd through them and brought backe three Standards leaving behinde one of his owne All his Officers were wounded and hee himselfe in the second onset had his arme shot through with a Pistoll bullet which forced him to retyre Isolani Generall of the Crabbats lost his life with a great number of his men Eighteene of his Companies charged some Germane Regiments that guarded the Baggage but they were stoutly opposed the Combate fierce the Assaults reiterated the earth dyed crimson and burdened with carkasses the Crabbats driven backe though not without some disorder of the Germane Horse recoyled amongst the Carts but this disadvantage the Enemy could not espie by reason of a thicke cloud which then arose and gaue the Germanes opportunitie to ranke themselues The Imperiall Commaunders Galas Merode and Holok longing to recover their Seat and Cannon lo●● tooke selected Bands fired the foure Corners of Lurzen to blinde the Swedes and keepe them from piercing that side to the succour of their friends This Essay was followed by successe the Trench force by the Imperiallists the seven pieces of Cannon lost regained and some Swedish Regiments disordered The Duke Bernard of Saxon Weymar seeing the confesion of his men and beeing advertiz'd by Kinphausen of the Kings death was extreamely incensed and protesting hee had not so base a wish as to surviue him hee ranne with his head couched on the enemy seconded by the Regiments of the Prince of Auhalt and Count Lowenslein Then the fight became obstinate on both sides the Charges redoubled the Carkases piled up the Pikes broken and the difference come to bee decided by dint of Sword The eye of man nor that greater of the World ever beheld a Ioust more furious The Imperialistes stroue to hold their advantage recover'd and the Swedes to dispossesse them of it The Duke Bernard did wonders that day Thrice like Lightning shot hee through the Forces of the Enemie nor could a wound received on the left Arme cause him to leaue the field before hee had constrained the Enemie to abandon the Cannon and his Post The winning of this opened him the way to the conquest of another For this valiant Prince pressed the Imperialist so hard that hee againe disrank'd them and compelled them to quit another Post guarded with thirteene Cannon His dexteritie in the drilling of his men in the opening and shutting of his rankes was such that they received little or no hurt from the Enemies Cannon The Duke undaunted pierc'd through the clouds of smoke displac'd the enemie and made himselfe Master likewise of this place and of the Cannon and droue the enemie to a confused Retreat The slaughter was great and the Swedes well blouded made good life of their advantage and the disorder of their foes passing over their bellies killing all that came in their way and stopping their eares against all motiues for quarter The Duke possessed of this place and Master of the Field betweene two and three in the afternoone thinking there was but one Post to force seared by a Windmill and guarded by three Imperiall Regiments endeavoured to remooue them sending in the meane time sundry Squadrons to chase the fugitiues But then the fight grew more cruell then ever For Pappenheim was returned from Hall and came upon the gallop with certaine fresh Regiments His Reputation and his concouragement gaue new spirits to the Runawayes and call'd them to the combate The Duke having notice of this quits this place new ranks and encourages his men and giues Pappenheim a meeting in the mid-way All the Charges past were nothing in respect of these latter Pappenheim imployed his utmost cunning and diligence and shewed himselfe in all places in the Head of his Troupes to embolden them On the other side the Duke Bernard fixt a resolution either to die or overcome and the Swedes and Finlanders enrag'd for the death of their King fought like Lions and desperately ranne upon the enemy The Artillery advanced and began to thunder and to enter divers Battalions and to make legges and Armes to flie from one place to another The smaller shot was also se violent that the Squadrons encountred in the palpable darknesse caused by the smoake without knowledge of their parties This furious shocke continned two houres with equall losse to both Victorie opening her armes to imbrace now one side then another Galas Merode and Holok were wounded to death and a Cannon shot cut off Pappenheim by the middle His death and the losse of divers other Commanders stagger'd the Imperialistes as much as that of the kings incensed the Swedes Then the enemy upon the receite of a newe salute from foure and twenty Cannon which pierc'd their thickest Troupes

devotions and in making the Round of his Army to marke the disposition and countenance of his souldiers and encourage them to fight manfully Comming to the Quarter of the Swedes and Finlanders he put them in Battaile Ray and with a voice and countenance alike chee efull he thus bespake them Camerades is in English Chamber-fellowes My friends and Camerades this is the day that invites you to demonstrate what you are shew your selves men of valour keepe your rankes and fight couragiausly for your selves and your King If this day the bravery of your spirits shine forth you shall find the heavenly Benediction perched on the poynts of your swords Honour and a recompence of your valour On the contrary if you turne backe and basely and foolishly commit the armed hand to the protection of the unarmed foot you shall find Infamy my disgrace and your owne ruine and I protest to you on the word of a King that not the least piece of you or of your bones shall returne againe into Swedeland This Exhortation delivered in a high and piercing tone wonne from the Swedes and Finlanders onely these generall acclamations That they would approve themselves men of Honor that they had lives only for him which they were ambitious to preserve in the obteining of victory and his good graces The Swedes being placed in Rank and File the King embattailes the Alman Regiments and thus in few wordes exhorts them My friends Officers and Souldiers I conjure you by your love to heaven and me this day to manisest whose you are You shall fight not only under me but with me my bloud and life shall marke you out the way to Honour Breake not your rankes but second me with courage If you performe this Victory is ours with all her glories you and your posterity shall enjoy it if you give backe your lives and liberties have one period This Speech was answered with an universall shout and vowes reciprocall That they would make it appeare they knew the way to Victory or to death that the King should receive all satisfaction in their service and the Enemy should acknowledge hee had to doe with men of Honour Walstein and his principall Officers discovered quickely by his Scouts the resolution of the King and the countenance of his and thereupon grounded this resolution that they must needs come to blowes Walstein was infinitely desirous to avoyd the Combate but hee was wisely admonished by some about him that every step his men made in a retreat would take from their courage and give it to the Enemy and bring upon his Army a Panicke feare and an utter confusion Hee spent that whole night in digging and intrenching in embattailing his Army and planting his Artillery in diverse places advantagious the better to sustaine the shocke of the Enemy Pappenheim was sent for backe in post hast who was gone to Hall being very desirous to invest it not believing that the King would give or accept of battaile before the Forces of Saxon were arrived In the meane time the utmost endeavours of Walstein were not wanting to hearten his men and layd before them Honour Reward their advantages their Forces the justice of their cause which God the Catholike Church the Emperour and the whole Empire justifyed against the violence and usurpation of a stranger and all this and more he uttered in his Litter which his Gowt would not permit him to forsake This was subject to diverse interpretations Some believing that indeed he felt some symptomes of that sickenesse very familiar to him others maintayned this posture to have no good grace on a day of Battaile and judg'd that Walstein was very willing to preserve himselfe safe and sound that hee might hereafter serve his Master and his party others averred he was much indebted to his Gowt which did warrant his retreat without his reproach necessity commanding the stoutest courage to yield to such an Enemy On the other side the King being ready at all poynts and his Army embattail'd hee would take no refection because he would be an example to his men and lose no time Being placed in the head of Steinbocks Regiment hee thus spake with avoyce audible Now now is the time Camerades wee must goe on undaunted let us charge let us charge in the name of God Iesus Iesus Iesus aide me in fighting this day and favour my right These words were no sooner pronounced but he gave spurres to his horse and with his head inclined gave a charge to a Battalion of foure and twentie Companies of Cuirassiers which were esteemd the flower of the Imperiall Army Two Swedish Regiments had order to second him The Artillery of the King was advanced and five Cannon shot discharged upon the Enemy who answered them with two hundred which went off with a horrid noyse and lightning but with small losse to the Swedes the Cannoniers of Walstein not having well taken their aime But the first shocke was fatall to the King and all the Army For though the Squadrons led by so brave a Chiefe with an unheard of resolution gave on like Thunder on the Enemy and made him recoyle yet one shot from a Pistoll gave him new courage which pierced the Kings arme and broke the bone When those next the King saw him bleed they were amaz'd and cryed out The King is wounded Which wordes the King heard with much distast and repining fearing it would abate the valour of his men wherefore dissembling his griefe with a joyfull and undaunted looke hee sought to quallify the feare of his Souldiers with these masculine words The hurt is slight Camerades take courage let us make use of our oddes and returne to the Charge The Commanders that were about him with hands lifted up earnestly besought him to retire but the apprehension of frighting his men and his ambition to overcome prevailed The Assault being rebegunne with vigour and fervour and the King fighting againe in the head of his Troopes once more to breake those Rankes that were againe made up the losse of bloud and the griefe which hee felt in the agitation of his body enfeebled much his spirits and voyce which caused him to whisper these wordes in the eare of the Duke of Saxon of Lavenburg Convey me hence for I am dangerously wounded Hee had scarcely ended his speech and turned head to retire when a Cuirassier marking this retreat advanced upon the gallop from the Battalion of the Enemy and discharged his Carabin full in the shoulder of the King with this insulting speech And art thou there then long it is that I have sought thee Some imagined that it was Pappenheim that gave the blow by reason hee had often vaunted that an auncient prediction was found amongst the Records of his Family That a Stranger King should dye by the hand of a Pappenheim with diverse scarres in his body and mounted on a white Horse And for this cause having many scarres in his face and
