A SHORT DESCRIPTION OR Historicall Relation of the famous Siege of the BVSSE And such things as passed there as well within as without the Citie Vnder the commande of the Most Illustrious PRINCE OF ORENGE THE High and Mightie Lordes the States Generall with the most Illustrious Prince of Orenge taking nothing more to harte then the Prosperitie of these Free Vnyted Provinces and the good Inhabitants in the same had seuerall assemblies with the Prins of Orenge consulting howe to take in hand and haue in readinesse whatsoeuer should be needfull and fitting for a Famous Siege and so resolved to besiege the citie called the Busse but before wee wil speake further of this Siege wee shall first informe you of the scituation Antiquitye power and Renowne of this place This place where the Busse is nowe scituated hath beene formerly according to the generall opinion of all men a Wood or Parke where the Duke of Braband did vse to hunte and for this purpose himselfe did cause a cottage or small dwelling place to be built there for his Hunters and Houndes But by reason the same place was verie comodious and had running streames of fresh Water through it many people of seuerall Townes did meete there on Market dayes to trade with one another And some of them built a few houses there for to entertaine and lodge people and others for to haue there comodities allwayes in readinesse But the Burgers of Heusden envyeing theire good did destroye them twyse Neuerthelesse those people complayning to the Duke of the wrongs done vnto them he did graunte them to environ themselues with Walles and Moates After which this place did greatlie increase as well of trade as of people yea manie strangers came to liue there and prospered well insomuch that the Duke made it the fourth chiefe Citie in Braband yet retayning the name of 's Hertogenbos which by in interpretation is

to get into the Vuchter-end or bleach feelde In this patch of ground were made Blindes and Batteries to dismount the Enemyes Ordinance which playd vpon our Galleries and Workemen from the Bulwarke on the left hand of the Gate and a peece which they had suuke in their halfe Moone In this Feelde also we began to laye over a second Gallerie on the right face of the Bulwarke but the Enemyes Ordinance from the Bulwarkes on the further side of the Gate shot through it 8. or 10. times breaking some of the posts asunder at the entrance of it into the moate yet at the last our Batterie in that Feelde put them to silence and an English Captaine an excellent Cannonnier dismounted their halfe Cannon that daye the Lord of Oxford had the Guarde after which our Men working more safelie in both the Galleries The 13. manye Granadoes were cast into the Towne which threw downe manie Houses The 15. of August in the night the Enemye had a Stratagem to cutt our Trench by the little Mill and Coudwater betweene Count Ernst and Brederoes Quarter and so to haue let in the Water vpon our Approaches to put this into execution Grobbendonk sent out of the Towne some hundred and fiftie firelockes and spades which stole in the night betweene the Petler-Sconce and Count Ernsts Quarter through the inwarde Line where it was not finished and came to the little Windmill by our out Line and there hauing layd an Embuscado of some of their firelockes in a ditch and behinde some bushes fell to worke apace to cut our Trench some 30. foote broad betweene the Horneworke and the Redouts vpon the Line not farre from that place where Count Henry of Berks Men would haue attempted it before But parte of Captaine Brogs Companie hauing the gard in a Redoubt next vnto them gaue fire and the Alarme being giuen Our Horse which had the gard in a House not farre from thence came vp to charge them and giuing fire likewise from that Redoubt they lefte their worke and retreated backe to their Ambush leauing their Spades and a paire of ould Shoes behind them and as they retreated gaue fire vpon our Horse and slew a Corporall and hurte twoo or three more But by reason of the Morrace and the Ditches our Horsemen could not come to charge them neither durst our foote leaue their Guardes and so they retreated backe againe into the Towne some twoo English mile where they fell a cutting Surelie if they had stayd but one halfe quarter of an houre longer or cut the gap not so broad they had effected the busines they came for because the Water was not passing three ynches lower then the top of the Trench and so should haue let in an Inundation of Water vpon vs. The 16. of August newes came to our Campe that the Enemie had taken Amersford The 17. Count William then commaunding the Quarter and Workes of Count Ernst caused twoo Mines to be blowne vp which were made vnder the Horneworke of the Hintemergate also made twoo assaults vpon the Enemie but prevayled not The 18. in the morning the Enemie sallied forth of the Towne neere Pinsens Quarter and robbed some of the Victualers and so departed the night following the Leeftenant Coronell Sir Edward Vere had the commaund in the Trenches And on Sondaye his Excellence who oftentimes ventered his person very much came downe to the Gallerie to see the Approaches a little before the said Leeftenante Coronell was relieued hee went to shew the Prince the Workes and the Sap the Companies being relieued were drawne off as far as the little Sconce The said Leeftennante Coronell Vere hauing showen his Excellentie the Sap and taking his leaue of him walking off with Sir Thomas Conway being a Tall man came an vnhappie Musketshot through the Blind and shot him behind in his head that it perisht his braynes that night being brought to his Tent within some foure dayes afterwardes dyed whose extraordinarie vallour sufficiencie compleat abilities for a Commander as they were well knowne so was his losse exceedinglie lamented by his Excellentie and the Chiefes of our Army My Lord Generall Vere my Lord of Oxford many Captaines Officers Voluntaries and Gentlemen of quality who had beene at his funerall in Bommell returning home that night The English Regiment had the guard in the Approaches and a civill worthy Gentleman of my Lords Companie of Dort one M. Mollenax that bare the sword of the said Leeftenant Coronell before his corps goeing to see the sap was the first that night which followed him the waye of all flesh my Lord Generall Vere bestird himselfe had all his Officers and Souldiers in readinesse that vpon the first occasion if the Enemie had either sallied out vpon our Sappers or Workemen or if they should haue attempted the firing of the Gallerie they might haue beate them in againe Captaine Rookewood of my Lord Veres Regiment as eldest Captaine executed my Lords commaund with valour and discretion had his Granado-Men at hand and placed diuers Musketteirs vpon all flanks to playe vpon the Enemie and to keepe them vnder for shooting vpon the end of our Gallerie and our Workemen and now and then sent them some Cannon Bullets which shot vpon the topp of their Bulwarke and vpon their halfe Moone to keepe them vnder sometimes sending a Granado into the Towne and throwing Handgranadoes amongst them into their halfe Moone Towardes midnight the Enemie likewise did cast Handgranadoes vpon our Blind next to their halfe Moone and set fire on it which brake out into a greate flame but the vigilency of my Lord Vere was such fearing that the fire might take further hould he gaue order that some Souldiers should take shouells and spades from the Workemen and cast earth and water vpon it which caused it to slake and had twoo or three Granadoemen there which paid them with theire owne coine but sure it was good that the Wind blew Southwest for had the Wind blewe Northwest and had blowne stiff as it did it had not onelie endangered the firing of all our Blindes but also our Gallerie which would haue hindered our Approaches and cast vs a greate deale behinde hand And so this daye and night following the Gallerie and Workes were well advanced This daye Sir Harry Hungate got a marke of honour by a Bullet which shot him thorow his buffe Ierkin and grazed vpon his flesh Before our Regiment had the Watch againe in the Approaches the Gallerie was well advanced and they got about three Posts night and daye it was then my Lord of Oxfords turne to commaund who was made Leeftenante Coronell in Sir Edwarde Veres place deceased The Bridge being layd ouer the Ditch of the Enemies halfe Moone The English began to sap and lodged in the left corner of it because of the Trees that laye a crosse in it This night there was discouered an engine vpon a floate from the furthest parte of their halfe Moone by

a quandary whether he would giue them quarter or noe but at last by much entreaty he graunted them quarter and brought awaye about some eight score of them prisoners In the Castle of Endhouen which our Men tooke in to their possession we found foure Petars made of oken Planks some 5. Inches thick and the chamber or briche lined with yron these should haue beene charged with Powther and stones to haue beene discharged out of their sloopes vpon our Trench and so having made a rupture in our Line haue let a Sea of water to haue drowned and overflowne all our Approaches these engines were brought likewise in Karts to his Excellencie House in his Quarter The 3. wee began to mine vnder the Halfe-Moone of the Vuchter-Gate The 4. wee sprung a Mine in the Wall of the Halfe-Moone but neverthelesse wee were not able to lodge in it The same daye the Scotch which had the guarde in the Approaches of Count Ernest wonne the Raveline running betweene the Horne-worke and the Towne On the fifth of Septemb. the Trench and Faggots being layd from the end of our long Gallerie to the verie foundation of the Bulwarke The Miners began a Mine thorow the Brickes into it and discouered a Mine which the Enemie had made neuerthelesse taking theire course another waye verie skillfullie went forwarde being vndertaken by three Englishmen to wit Iohn Scot William Lee and especiallie Richard Pristman who had good skill in digging and vnderpropping of Colepits in England who performed it verie well This commendations one maye giue them that it tooke the best effect of any Mine which was euer sprung before the BUSSE Well then on the tenth of Septemb. being Mundaye betime in the morning Sir Iacob Ashly Lieftennant Coronell to Generall Morgans Regiment had the commaund that night in the Approaches and with much a doe a Mine was made in the Enemies halfe Moone before the Gate ere the Mine was sprung he sent a Sargeant with six Musketteirs to the top of the Halfe-Moone to giue the Enemye an Alarme to bring them on towardes our Mine and then for feare of endangering our men he was to retreate backe againe all which was done accordinglie The Myne then being blowne vp tooke but little effect and made noe greate entrance After this Sir Symon Harcourts Ensigne was commaunded to fall vp with some 30. Musketteirs to the top of the halfe Moone and to giue fire among the Enemye which he did The Enemye stood it out a good while thinking to drawe on our Men to twoo of their owne Mynes which were to be sprung nowe the Enemyes twoo Mynes being blowne vp Sir Iacob Ashly fell vp and gave order to Sir Symon Harcourt to fall into the Enemyes Halfe-Moone with 50. Musketteirs and Pikes more with his Ensigne and the said 30. Musketteirs The Enemye disputing it a good while but at last Sir Symon and his men beate them vp to their entrance into their halfe Moone by the moate side and there Changed bullets one with another and came to Push of pike and after they had maintayned that place a pretty while he droue them from thence along the moate side to a Traverse which was cast vp some 60. paces from the said entrance of the halfe Moone where following them close along the moate of the Towne Bulwarke and giving fire vpon them at last they bid him farewell and retreated into the Towne by Sainct Iohns gate This being done he himselfe with his men made a stand at the entrance into the halfe Moone where the Enemye stood it out till it began to be light and till our men were lodged in the top of the halve Moone in those places which might most offend the Enemye this was the first worke which was carryed awaye by force of Armes and really disputed In this fight Sir Symon Harcourt was fiue times thrust and shott through his clothes and yet ir pleased God he came of well and with honnor After the English had thus taken the Halfe-Moone his Excellencie came downe into the Gallerie and gaue the English extraordinary thanks for carryeing themselues so well and rewarded some of the Souldiers with monie And thus the Enemye on this side were shutt vp into the Towne The same night came on Sir Harry Harbourd Lieftennant Coronell to Coronell Harwood and relieued Sir Iacob Ashly he brought with him for the reliefe my Lord Veres Companye of Schoonhouen Sir Harry Harbourds owne Companie Captaine Gouldwells Captaine Abrihalls and Captaine Welsons Companies The Gallerie being gott over 91. Posts from the end of it the Brush and Planks and a Blind was layd to the Bulwarke and the Myne being readie the Powder was chambered and the trayne layed to it His Excellentie as mercifull as valliant to try what the Enemye would doe gaue order to Sir Harry Harbourd that on Tewsday morning after the Myne was sprung in the Bulwarke our men should fall on and though they should possesse the Bulwarke and be Masters of it yet they should retire into the Gallerie The myne being blowne vp tooke good effect and cast vp a greate deale of earth and stones into the ayre and shattred some twoo rodds of our Gallerie in peeces and made a breach mountable after this Sir Harry gaue order that Captaine Abrihalls Sargeant who was slayne goeing on should fall vp to the Breach with his Musketteirs that Captaine Welson should doe the like with 30. men more to second the Sargeant and Captaine Gouldwell to second them with the Pikes from the end of the Gallerie all which was done accordingly our men falling vp to the Breach gaue fire in the verie teeth of the Enemye and our other Musketteirs giving fire from all Guardes and Flanks and our Ordinance thundring from all Batteries did so amaze and startle them that they quitted the Bulwarke and retreated where it was cut off to the skirt of the Wall by the Vuchtergate This being done our men stayed a little while vpon the Breach till they discharged all their Bandeliers and till that Sir Harry caused them according to his Excellencie commaund to retreate againe into the Gallerie our men being drawne off the Enemy came againe to the Breach and cast vp a little defence of earth which the mine had blowne vp and Brush vpon it but our twoo halfe Cannon which laye vpon the right side of our entrance into the Gallerie beate the earth and Brush which they cast vp about theire eares and shore off the heads of the Souldiers Pikes which stood there for the defence of their Workemen This made a terrible Alarme in the Towne so that the Bells rung the Women and Children cryed the Burgers and Popish Priests by flockes ran to the Governor and tould him that nowe or never it was time to lissen to a seasonable and an honorable Composition for the safeguard of their liues and goods The Governor taking hold of this occasion strikes his saile and came with the Bishop Abbot and divers
