A true Relation of the Frenche Kinge his good successe in winning from the Duke of Parma his forts and trenches and slaieng 500. of his men and the great famine that is now in the sayd Dukes Campe. MOst true it is which the Apostle saint Paule in the 13. to the Romans auoucheth of Kinges and Princes saieng there is no power but of God and the powers that bee are ordained by God And no lesse true is that Golden sayeng of the princelie Prophet Dauid speking in the person of God by me kinges rule and by me doo princes exercise authoritie Then it followeth necessarilie that as kings and princes vppon earth are the ordinance of God and therefore those that do resist or rebell against them doo resist the power of God and purchase to themselues eternall damnation as the same Apostle beareth record so the Lord will and dailie dooth as wee see by experience euery daye blesse the same his ordinaunce confounding scattering and dispersing the practises or rather the trecherous conspiraces of all those that rise vp against his annointed Which thing the Lord hath moste notablie perfourmed euen the last day vpon the French King that valiant souldiar of his giuing vnto him most happie and fortunate successe against the Duke of Parma VVho albeit he be otherwise a man of puissance and valor yet the Lord our God blessed be his holie name therfore to manifest to the worlde how muche his attempt in aiding the rebellious Leaguers against their Soueraigne Kinge and liege Lord dooth displease him he crosseth him in his actions and as it were standeth before him and fighteth against him sometimes striking a suddaine terror and feare into his heart with the rest of his complices and other-sometimes ouerthrowing them altogither in their owne plats and deuises according to the sayeng of the Psalmist The wicked hath digged a pitte for others but is fallen into it himselfe But to come to the matter as it pleased god it fell out thus The Duke of Parma hauing now the second or third time inuaded the kingdom of France with a puissant and mightie Armie with intent to aide the rebellious Leaguers agaynste their lawfull Kinge passing the confines and entring as it were into the bowelles of the Realme approched with his armie neere vnto the Cyttie Roane who beeing pursued by the King and his people drew himselfe farther off towardes Newhauen and there hee incamped himselfe raising most strong Fortes and erecting as hee thought trenches inuincible for his owne and his souldiers better defence yea so stronglie had he intrenched himselfe there planting ordinance Baricadoes and other militarie munition of infinite varietie that hee thought himselfe not onelye able to counteruaile what strength the king should be able to bende against him but also he supposed himselfe to be in effect inexpugnable But as the prophet Esaias saith there is no wisedome there is no pollycie there is no power nor strength against the Lord nor against his annointed For the King by secret intelligences or spials beeing aduertised of the Duke his proceedings and how stronglie he had fortified him selfe in Trenches and bulwarks with all possible speed marched towardes him taking with him such a competent number of horssemen and footmen as he thought sufficient to withstand the forces of the aduersarie Being come somewhat neere the place he caused his armie to march forwarde both leasurelie and aduisedlie the better to preuent secret ambushes and viewing with prouidente eie the manner of his enimies lyeng their Fortes their trenches and other their munytions at the last with mature aduise and most peremptorie resolution as one that fighteth the Lords battels in most fierce manner assailed his enimies on euerie side And albeit the fight was both long and cruell and seemed a great while to hang in equall ballance neither inclining vnto the one nor to the other yet it pleased God who continually fighteth for his seruantes that the Kinge preuayled And although he had not in his band so manie as the Enimie was by oddes yet he wanne the Duke of Parma his Fortes and Trenches mauger the heads of all his enimies and forced his men to flie back and to retire to a more narrower place beeing constrained to fortifie themselues anew in such place as they coulde get on the suddaine and it is verilye thought that they can not be able to holde out longe against the forces of the King The Duke of Parma also such was the mightie hand of God against him not onelye loste his fortes and trenches but 500. of his chiefest souldiers also besides other munition great spoiles The Duke is nowe presentlie so driuen to the wall and so corbed vp al hope of new supplies of viandes or victuals being in some sorte intercepted and cut off from him that he with his whole armie are so sore assailed with famin as that they are forced to eate their horsses for verie hunger Thus haste thou heard Gentle Reader the noble exploits of that valiant King of France with his good successe which God continue and the present state of the duke of Parma with his retinue whose hande the Lorde of Hostes shorten and strengthen that illustrious and renoumed French King that he may fighte the Lords Battels still that once if it be his blessed will poperie superstition and Idolatrie maye bee cleane rooted out and true religion maie vniuersally be planted in all Christian Kingedomes of the world Amen By letters receiued on the second of May. 1592.
