THE VVONDERFVLL PROCEEDINGS AND progresses of Count Mansfield in the PALATINATE c. I Must needs now remember the returne of the explorators of the Land of Canaan who terrified the people with a report of Enachims and Giants yron gates and high Towers strong walles and impregnable Bulwarkes great Armies and formidable Soldiours onely Caleb and Ioshua opposed themselues with a contrary discouery of a plentifull Countrey and large inheritance for which the people had like to haue stoned them Thus haue they dealt with the King of Bohemia euer since the losse of Prague and Spinola's entring into the Palatinate geering and deriding his attempts as if it were impossible to prosecute any enterprise against the House of Austria and withstand the King of Spaines Armies with such auxiliary Princes as depend vpon his Soueraignty whereupon they haue not onely scorned his Election but taught their tongues a lesson of defamation and their hands a cunning of deciphering his weakenesse and temerity in many calumnious Pictures and scandalous reports neuer remembring Ahabs little cloude and what an inundation of raine it grew vnto nor the childrens of Israell making of Bricke in the Land of Goshen and what a glorious Nation they came vnto nor the deridings of Sanbolet and Tobias when they re-edified the Temple and how they preuayled in despight of opposition nor in a worde how the Church of God for all the watchings of the Dragon in the Wildernesse hath beene still delinered like that woman and flourished in the end for all her hard beginnings and outragious aduersaries and why may not time bring foorth the like birth for the happy deliuerance of the Palatinate and her Master for all this thicke hanging cloud ouer her head threatning a tempest of vtter destruction and desolation But my meaning is not to trouble you with repititions or vnbinde the fardell of tumor concerning former matters wherein you shall finde her garment be-painted with many tongues on the outside and as many hearts on the inside to intimate thus much that men will be talking according to the disposition of their hearts some like Papists some like Polliticians some like irreligious Neuters some like Hispaniolized instruments some like true Protestants and euery one as their fancy induceth Nay I will not speake a worde of former preparations nor how the Duke of Bauaria proued so good a Seruitour to the Emperour that vpon his comming into the Palatinate the Papists about Vdenhem in the vpper part of the Bishoprick of Spires made a Comedy of the lost King of Bohemia as they tearmed him and vsed many vnseemely speeches against him in that Interlude with such vndecencies that England it selfe escaped not their scandalous minortiues but it passed not away with that succesfull jollity as they pretended for the comming downe of Count Mansfield quickly stopped all their mouthes and quenched the heat of these burning reproches as for those vnsauory vntruths of making composition of agreement with the Emperour or Duke of Bauaria there neuer was such a thought nor motiue either of reuolt from the King of Bohemia or reconciliation to them and therefore of him onely and his proceedings according to the Poet Arma virumque vno I will now speake and shew you by Gods grace the successe of his affaires and then iudge your selues what possibility he stands in and whether fairer dayes may come in the stead of tempestuous weather yea I make no question according to another Poet Saepe premente Deo fert Deus alter opem The 14 of October 1621. his Excellency for so we must stile him or Generall with his whole Army came out of the vpper Palatinate toward H●●delberg being eight Regiments of foote containing 108. Companies and 56. Cornets of Horse somewhat weake and wearyed with long Marches yet were they 10000. strong by Pole but hearing of the siege of Franckendale they stayed not long there as resoluing to raise it and releeue the Countrey to which they were the rather animated because that Generall Vere sent Colonel Ouertrant out of Mainhem with fixe Cornets of Horse foure Demy Cannons and two Pieces of sixe pound bullets vnto him who were welcommed accordingly and so his Excellency with 2000. in his owne Regiment Colonell Mersen with 1200. Colonell Waldmans Hawsen with 2000. and part of a new Regiment vnder Colonell Bandshaw being 1000. with foure Pieces more besides those which Colonell Ouertrant brought marched presently to Franckendale but the Enemy hearing of his approach disbandied themselues and left the siege retiring toward Wormes yet first possessing the Bridge they had made right ouer against Steine But this was not so couertly done but they of Franckendale had notice of the same and made a braue Salley wherein the English whom Generall Vere had left in Garison there performed their partes like honest men and worthy Soldiers for there were forty of the Enemy slaine an Italian Captaine with ●n Ensigne taken prisoners and many others ouertaken in the flight by which occasion they were freed of the siege and deliuered from the feare of vtter destruction For although the Towne was well fortified and had many Bulwarkes and Trenches which Generall Vere before his departure had ouerseene and prepared yet were they not so perfected and warrantable but such an Army as the Spaniard had of 9000. at least might in time either batter or enforce considering the Garison decayed and prouision failed but God was their protector and as you haue heard sent this supply to put new life into their courages and relieue their distresses Now the siege of Franckendale was in this manner the Enemy taking aduantage of Generall Veres retiring to Mainhem came with 9000. before it and for foure weekes continually battered the Bulwarks but by reason he had not taken in any of the Sconses nor dismantled the principall out-works he could not endamage the Towne it selfe Nay when he had valiantly and fortunately got into the Counterscarfe he was forced out againe with the losse of 100. men and taught to know that a stronger arme putteth out the strong man yet not altogether
