twenty fiue of our souldiers This fight lasted from ten in the euening vntill fiue a clocke in the morning The enemie lost in this fight one Count fiue Captaines diuers Lieutenants and Ensigne-bearers besides eight hundred souldiers The same day there was a cessation of armes for the space of an houre agreed of to burie the dead on both sides In the meane time the Enemie working very strong contrary to the agreement we discharged our Ordnance vpon them and slue many and the Enemie doing the like the dead were for certaine daies left vnburied We perceiued about the same time that the Enemie was verie sorie in regard of the misfortune happened vnto him and would seeke meanes to reuenge himselfe In those daies came certaine Switsers besides other souldiers into the citie Likewise the Italians which lay nere vnto the Quarter of the Lord of Lockeren began to shoot diuers of our men with long Harquebuses through the heads vsing this deuise they tied greene grasse about their owne heads that they might not be perceiued when they looked ouer the Rampeirs to shoot for they seemed only like some greene earth cast into the aire But afterwards we perceiuing their deuise discharged our shot vpon the grasse aforesaid striking downe the same many times with the head and whole body The twentieth being Saint Laurence day after the Vespers were sung the enemie came againe about ten a clocke at one side of the halfe moone and would by force leape ouer the Ramparts the Swissers which were lately arriued perceiuing the same began to curse and sweare daring them to come ouer they in the meane time thrust fiercely at them with their pikes but the Swissers slashed them againe brauely in peeces with their curtle-axes This fight increasing the whole quarter rose in armes and discharged certaine thousands of Musket shot vpon the enemies and flung granades likewise and other fire workes amongst them in such manner that the enemie lost againe aboue 500. men and we had 20. slaine and about 50. hurt The one and twentieth came six Companies into the City and the enemie shooting very cruelly we answered them with the like It was the same day resolued in the citie to build a halfe moone vpon the hauen betwixt the North Sconse and the citie The two and twentieth three and twentieth and foure and twentieth were two English Ensignes slaine with Musket shot the one being hit by a Fryer who was very skilfull in discharging of the long Harquebuse The same day there went two troupes of horse hence towards Breda 60. more got leaue to goe by land thither and went in the night forth from the Bosh gate riding behinde Burgvliet and arriued the next day at Breda with 18. prisoners almost all our workes without the city were perfected at the same time but yet euery day we laboured hard vpon the trauerses or trauers lines and offcuttings and such like The six and twentieth and seuen and twentieth there came seuen companies into the Citie with Collonell Morgan the Landgraue Philips of Hessen and the Yonker William of Nassaw so that the Garrison was at the same time ten thousand strong it seemed that at the same instant the enemie would attempt something on the waters side but we within prepared our selues to resist him In those daies there rose an Alarum in the city for that a Corporall with 10. or 12. souldiers fell about noone vpon the approaching enemies sallying forth out of the Quarter of the Lord of Lockeren after they had slaine some few they returned all safely backe bringing away diuers Muskets and shouels Collonell Morgan in those daies with a Frenchman being Captaine of the Trunckes surueyed all the workes and mines those Truncks were almost all made in two or three daies The nine and twentieth the Enemie made a worke of bauins opposite vnto the Coninsbergh and the furthermost halfe moone neere vnto the new horne-worke aboue the Crabbe sconse Whereupon we shot fiercely and cast granades and fireworkes vpon the Enemies killing aboue an hundred of them and burning the greater part of their bauins before our retreat The Enemie being desirous to reuenge this spite Don Inigo de Brosgado gaue an onset vpon a little halfe moone lying at the quarter of Monsieur Famaes Quarter without the line Our souldiers beat them off sundry times very valiantly with musket shot and granades hereupon the Enemie caused his horse to driue them on againe so that with much adoe they intrenched themselues at last behinde the said little halfe moone Our souldiers kept the Enemies backe with granades and burning of straw vntill their fellowes had pillaged the dead The Enemies lost here 500. men besides those which were hurt Don Ioan de Portugals Corps being slaine among the rest was afterwards ransommed for 500. Gilders which is 50. li. Sterling On our side were killed the Lieutenant of the Lord of Lockeren Captaine Hans Vande Bosh besides twentie souldiers Moreouer there were forty hurt The last of August and the first of September the Enemy would approach with rowling Trenches about the Coninsbergh but hee was beaten backe The 2. of September there happened a Skirmish in the out-workes and wee droue the Enemies with our Canon and Granades out of some of their formost workes taking afterwards with vs the Instruments which they left behind them with other such commodities The Enemy lost there many on our side there were 20. slaine and 12. or 14. hurt The same Euening the Enemie made Boone-fires in regard of the Victory which hee pretended that Don Cordua had gotten against Count Mansfield and the Duke of Brunswicke passing through Brabant and discharged his Ordnance in the meane time the Spanish retreated a little from their worke on the Northside and our Forces getting notice thereof went presently thither and pulled it downe carrying the boards and other materialls into their Garrison The 3. wee had newes from Breda of Count Mansfields arriuall there in the euening was all our Cannon as well within as without the City discharged to welcome Count Mansfield the Enemy answered vs with 8. or 10. Shot The same night our Garison inuaded againe the Enemies Workes on the North side and pulled a great part of the same downe to the ground and tooke almost all the Bavins away without any resistance or opposition of the Enemies The 4. the Enemy assaulted our halfe moone on the North-side foure times in one night but our Garison driuing them backe assaulted them afterwards in their owne Campe and tooke aboundance of Pikes from the Enemies and burnt great store of their Bavins brought thither to fortifie withall we saw 30. of the Spanish Campe lying dead vpon the ground besides others which lay here and there dispersed wee had two slaine and three or foure hurt The 5. and 6. there happened certaine strange Accidents which are rehearsed at the latter end of this Booke The 7. we blew vp one of our Mines on the North side perceiuing that

the same except a Frenchman and two other which after the Enemy had blowne vp his Myne were yet found aliue and drawne out hereupon the Enemy came fiercely on thinking that hee had paid vs home with a purpose to settle himselfe vpon the forsaken halfe-moone for a while wee resisted them and they following vs afterwards at our Retreate were blowne vp by our Myne and buried aliue this happened betwixt 11. 4. a Clocke in the afternoone The 20. the Enemy began from all sides to shoot very fiercely vpon the City endamaging mightily the Church and Steeple of the same in such manner that the ordinary waiter nor no body else durst abide therein Wee supposed that the Enemy did this because Mounsieur de Greue Gouernour of Isendycke was burning and ransacking Flaunders with 2000. Souldiers and 200. Marriners This same day Don Garcia Piementelli a braue Souldier was kild by one of our Mynes so that Spinola was very sory for his death The 21. wee blew two Mynes vp without the Bosh-gate and saw the Enemies flying vp into the Ayre like Storkes At Antwerpe they call now our City Berghen bring on in stead of Berghen vp Zoom seeing there haue beene so many brought and sent thither from sundry places But they dare no more assault vs so freely as they did in the beginning We haue our hands dayly full of worke but it is no matter for whereas wee lose one man the Enemy loseth tenne We thought that they would haue broken vp the Siedge vpon our fasting or prayer day seeing the approaches were forsaken by them about the Quarter of Collonel Fama and the Lord of Lockeren It is remarkable to consider that of so many iron Bullets which both high and low are dayly shot into the City but few hurt or kill any there is such store of them that are daily sent to the Store-house with Wheele-barrowes and the Children play with the Musquet bullets which fall vpon the streets vsing them in stead of earthen Bullets with which the Children in the Low-countries are vsed to play for Custome being another nature as it were both Men Women and Children haue beene so vsed to the thundering of the Shot that it causeth no astonishment or alteration in them any longer The same day wee sallied forth on the North Quarter and hauing driuen the Enemies out of their Trenches wee burnt their Bavins and Faggots pulled downe their Lines and slew many of them The 22. wee blew vp 3. Mines with good successe neere vnto the English Quarter endamaging mightily both the Souldiers and Workes of the Enemies But the fourth Myne which wee blew vp likewise thereabouts towards the euennig did exceeding great hurt burying the Enemies aliue in the Mynes wherevpon there rose an Alarum in their Quarter and almost all night long sixe of our batteries and three of the Enemies played with their Ordnance incessantly The 23. and 24. wee were busie about blowing vp of our Mynes round about the City and to surprise our Enemies wee made likewise Counter-workes against his Workes or new approaches in such manner that wee saw the same day about all our Quarter great store of our Enemies slaine and swallowed vp by our Mynes and it being very hot in those places in regard of our Musquet shot the Enemies durst not come to fetch them away so that they became food for the Crowes and Wormes and all this was effected with small losse of ours The 25. 26. and 27. the Enemies blew their Mynes vp first in the North-west and afterwards two Mynes in the South-east of the City but did no hurt to vs nor our Workes it is true that an Englishman and a Swisser were swallowed vp by the Sands vnto their knees but they were presently drawne out by their feere and against all expectation brought off aliue The 28. the Enemy was drawing a Trench East South-east toward the way of Wowe but curs blew vp a Myne about foure a Clocke in the afternoone through the Command of the two Collonels Fama and Lockeren lying North-west from the Citty close to the sorsaken halfe-moone which tooke very good effect There was order giuen before by the said Collonels that certaine Pioners should bee in readinesse with their Mattocks and Spades and certaine Souldiers with halfe-Pikes to sally forth when the Myne should bee blowne vp to leuell the ground euen and plaine againe so that our Souldiers might passe ouer it and set vpon the Enemies All this was very happily by the ayd of God performed without any damage of ours pulling besides a great deale of the Enemies Worke to the ground and being afterwards seconded by 220. men vnder the Command of Captaine William Van Fama Brother of the Collonel they filled vp the Enemies rowling Trenches which are nery narrow but deepe and killed there a hundred and fifty of the Enemies with Rapiers Courtleaxes Mattocks Hatchets Spades and such like tooles taking also seuenteene Prisoners which were brought afterwards into the City as likewise the booties gotten of mony Ierkins Cassocks c. I must not forget here to relate how that Youncker William of Nassau base or naturall Sonne to the Prince of Orange was not onely a Spectator but likewise an Actor in this Fray running with a Sword in his hand amongst the thickest of them and hauing afterwards gotten one of the Encmies halfe Pikes did braue Seruice with it and was none of the first that came off hee was onely hurt in the little finger The same night the English did likewise an admirable Exploit in their Quarter Captaine Clerke being the inuenter of it They digged a cóncauity vnder the Trenches of the Enemies which lay vpon a high ground The Spanish Souldiers perceiuing the noyse and rumbling vnder ground ranne partly away as being afraid to bee blowne vp those which tarried were afterwards when ours had broken through the ground likewise driuen away or slaine This was such an inuention as was yet neuer heard of before by digging vnder the Enemies to take from them their aduantages and keepe them Collonel Morgan likewise deceiued the Enemies very cunningly hee commanded certaine Hattes to be set vpon stickes behind the Baskets in our new halfe-moone to make the Enemies beleeue our Souldiers were lying there and so it fell out indeed for the Enemy supposing the very same came and cast therein diuers Granades but few of them tooke fire kindly although they could not haue done any great hurt amongst the Hats and stickes in the meane time our Souldiers came stealing and creeping vpon them and made themselues maisters of the halfe-moone before which they had shed so much blood in former time getting now the same againe by a deuice without losse of blood before 10. of the Clocke all things were mended and repayred in the same and the Gabions placed the English shooting from betwixt them vpon the Enemie At the same time the English got in the South-east 60. places of ground from the Enemies And
