A76870	A bloudy fight in France, between the Kings army, commanded by General Harcourt, the King of Scots, and the Duke of York; and the Prince of Conde's Forces, on Christmas Day last. With the manner how the said Duke led on the forlorn hope, fell upon the Princes forces, gave the first onset; and after a gallant charge, (seconded by his brother the King) routed them, and beat them out of their trenches. With the number killed and taken prisoners, most of their ordnance, armes, and ammunition, and two other armies entring the field, under the command of the King of Poland's son, and Prince Edward.		1652 (1652)	Wing B3243; Thomason E651_21; ESTC R205864	4,900	8

touching the glorious success of all those who fight under the Banner of Jerus Christ viz. Sennacherib the King of Assyrians invading Judea with a powerful Army commanded it to be related by his Captains to Ezcchias the King that in vain he reposed his trust in any Divine power for seeing said he the Gods of other Nations were not able to defend their Worshippers against the puissance and might of the King of the Assyrians therefore neither could the God of Israel For which horrible blasphemy God in one night destroyed almost his whole Army there being 185000 armed men slain by an Angel And the King himself after his return into Ninivie his City sacrificing to his gods who could not defend him was murthered by his own sons Nabuchodonesor King of Chaldea when in his fury he cast the h●ee children into the fiery furnace for that they refused to adore a Statua erected by him and further blasphemed against God in preferring his own power before the power of God in these words Quis est Deus Who is God that can take you out of my hands Did immediatly after acknowledge the contrary and confessedia Deity through the sight of that stupendious miracle by the which the children being in the midst of the flames remained unhurt and not burned But after when he had forgot the same and bear himself with his former cl●tion and pride of mind maintaining that his power and glory stood obnoxious or subject to none he was suddenly punished by God a voyce from Heaven rushing upon him and speaking thus Tibi dicitur Nabuchodonosor Rex c. O King Nabuchodonosor to thee be it spoken thy Kingdom shall depart from thee And they shall drive thee from men and thy dwelling shall be with the Beasts of the field They shall make thee to eat grass as the Oxen and seven times shall passe over thee till thou knowest that the most high beareth rule over the Sons of men and giveth it to whomsoever he will Which voice being ended he was presently deprived of reason and grew mad Whereupon being driven from all mens society he begun to live in the Woods among Beasts and during seven yeares lived after the manner of beasts Which period of time being ended he was restored to his wits and senses and preently thereupon most excellently confessed a divine power That this was to happen unto him God foreshewed it a year before in a vision which he had while he dreamed which vision Daniel did interpret Agrippa the elder being in Cesaraea and cloathed with sumptuous apparel and sitting in a high and regal seat began to make a speech to the people but some of his people cryed out that it was the voice of some God and not of man which words being grateful unto him who could be willing to assume divine honour to himself he was suddenly strucken with an Angel and so his flesh and bowels putrifying he was consumed with lice The Syrians being overcome in War by the Israelites in certain mountainous places ascribed their overthrow to the Gods of the Mountains who they said did favour the Israelite therefore they would fight with the Israelites in the vallies where they thought the God of Israel was not interessed upon which cause God by his Prophet thus spake to the King of Israel Quia dixerunt Syri c. Because the Syrians said the Lord is God of the Mountains and not of the valies I will give all this great multitude in to thy hand and you shall now that I am the Lord. And thereupon both their Armies joyning battel after the Israelites though but few in number killed in one day a hundred thousand footmen And there remained in a neer place twenty seven thousand Syrians who flying into the City were killed with the fall of the City walls doubtlesly this was a manifest revenge and punishment of the former blasphemy Nicanor being leader of the Army of Demetrius the King and intending to invade the Jews upon the Sabboth was admonished that in honour and reverence to God who fecth all things he should forbear that facred day to the which advise he thus answered Estnepotens quispiam in caelo c. Is there a Lord in heaven that commands the Sabbath day to be kept to whom when it was answered Est●●minus vivus c. There is a living Lord which ruleth in Heaven who commandeth the seaventh day to be kept he replyed Et egopotens c. And I am mighty upon Earth to command them for to arm themselves and to perform the Kings business Upon which occasion the day of War being begun though Nicanor had a most powerful Army furnished with all kind of Munition and Armour yet was he overthrown by a very few with the loss of 35000 men His blasphemous tongue was likewise cut off and by small pceces cast unto Birds and his hands which he lifted up against the Temple were set up in an opposite place to the Temple At what time Achior commended the power of the God of heaven and averred that the Jewes were secure and safe in that they worshipped God religiously at which words Holofernes in great indignation thus answered Quoniam prophetasti c. Because thou hast prophecyed among us to day that the people of Israel is defended by their God I will shew thee that there is no other God but Nabuchodonosor c. For which blasphemy he payed dear forth is own head was cut off by the hand of a Woman and his Army being driven to flight a great part therof was put to the sword by the Jewes Antiochus for his pride and blasphemy was strucken from God with an invisible and incurable disease for first suddenly a violent ●ain of his Bowels invaded him and then quickly after he fell out of his chariot wounding himself dangerously lastly his body purifying with a filthy consumption and breathing out a most loath●om smell was consumed alive with worms Balthazar King of the Chaldeans when he commanded the holy Vessels to be brought to him which were taken out of the Temple of the Lord at Jerusalem and did drink in them with his Noble men and his Concubines for such his profaning of them did presently fool Gods just revenge for in the middest of the banquet and jollity with his guests it is said Apparuerunt digiti c. There appeared fingers of a mans hand which wrot over the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the Kings palace And this appeared in the fight of all men and with great consternation of mind and fear to the King himself The King of Portugals eldest son is advancing with his Army against the Spaniard for the relief of the French in Barcellonia The King of France hath sent Prince Edward son to the Queen of Bohemia to make opposition against the Prince of Conde the King of Scots and the Duke of York are designed for the field the first as Lieut.
