Paul said in another case to certain Christians in his time Shall I praise him for this no I praise him not for all our actions that tend not to the glory of God lead us to our destructions to which indeed this resolution of his had almost brought him for leading on his men to face our small shot who plyed their Musquets so fast that his men forsooke him and himselfe received a shot under his right pap which inforced him to retreat alone in a orderly pace he was no sooner entred the Towne but the Master Gunner thereof was also slaine in which we must not omit to manifest Gods providence towards us for our small shot having forced the Enemy out of their Ambuscadees pursued them also to the Towne-gate their Gunner having loaden a peece of Ordnance with case shot and watching for such an opportunitie having travysed the Gun said to those that stood by You shall see me make a slaughter of these Round-beads At which words a small shot from our Forts hit him in the head after which he he never spake more whose fall so daunted the Enemy Commanders Souldiers that forthwith they cried out for quarter The first that forced their entry into the Town was C.
