The besieged haue not beene ssacke in their duties for besides their continuall plying vs with their vollyes of great and small shot they haue attempted to vndermine one of our Batteries but this Designe of theirs was frustrated by a Countermine of ours which wrought such effects that they were beaten out of their own Mine after some resistance They are so much distressed for want of shotte that wanting Lead and Iron they are faine to melt all their Pewter and Tinne of which they make Bullets But this shot shatters like Hayle and doth lesse hurt by farre then the other His Excellence is very sparing of his men as well knowing that walles of bones are farre stronger then those of earth and stones and resolues by following the president of Vanden Berke at Gulicke and of Spinola at Breda to starne the besieged or else to bring them to reason Vpon the Intercourse of some messages his Grace hath imployed Mr. Aishburnham a Gentleman of his lately arriued in England vpon occasions of speciall businesse twice or thrice vnto the Gouernour Thorax Vpon his comming to the vtmost Sentinell and the remonstrance of his imployment his eyes were blindfolded and in this manner because hee should not discouer their Workes he was conducted to receiue his audience The French giue out that if wee doe not depart the sooner they will cause vs to doe it by maine force being confident of those aydes which are promised them from the King of Spaine and the Archdutchesse which together with their owne Ships will make a Fleete of threescore saile as they reckon in their large account But I thinke this bragging of theirs will turne meerely into a French vapour much shewe and little action Howsoeuer they are sure to find a stout opposition and a braue resistance Sir William Courtney a Souldier of great conduct and experience and Colonell of one of the English Regiments was shot with a Musket from the Fort vpon the belly but the Buller lighting vpon some money in a little pocket lost his force and did no farther hurt Vpon Wednesday being the twelfth of September that Honourable and valiant Knight Sir Iohn Burrowes Colonell Generall of the English Infanterie vnder his Excellencie the Duke of Buckingham being carefull for the direction and suruay of all our Workes came vp from his Quarters in the after-noone to giue orders for the lniing out of a new Intrenchment and as hee came off from the Workes with some other Commanders hee was vnfortunately shot in the belly thorow the guttes about fiue of the clocke in the euening with a Musket which wound proued mortall for within foure or fiue houres after he gaue vp the ghost to the exceeding griefe of all the Armie but specially of the Duke of Buckingham who comming to visite him before his death shed many passionate teares to expresse his griefe due to the remembrance of so worthy a person Hee shewed a great deale of constancie resolution religion at his death as he had in the whole course and passage of his life His body was opened and enbalmed and sent into England with Mr Aishburnham who brought it to Plimouth on Monday being the 24. of September from whence it is comming about to Potesmouth to be transported thence vnto Westminster where it is to receiue the Sepulchrall rites of an Honorable interment Our Souldiers but especially those of his Regiment were so much prouoked with this vnexpected accident that in reuenge thereof they powred diuers vollyes of small great shot vpon the French with the storme whereof the Gouernours brother was slaine and some other men of quality On the Wednesday following Sir Iohn Burrowes death the French from the maine sought to releeue the Fort with twelue Barkes laden with victuals and Muni●ion but they were intercepted by our sea Watch and sixe of them taken and all the Victualls and Prouision brought in to our Magazin the other fixe were driuen backe vnto the Maine but if the other Shallops that got in before were no better stored then these as in all likelihood they were not there was not Victuals enough to serue them 14 dayes The Prisoners being demaunded how they durst hazard themselues so boldly vpon this attempt answered that they did it vpon confidence of the Dukes mercy which they thought would not faile them if they were surprized But to preuent this and to hinder the like presumption in others our Souldiers put them all to the sword before they receiued any other orders from his Excellencie Monsieur Thorax the Gouernour of the Fort sent to his Excellence the Duke of Buckingham to intreat him to giue leaue that he might send a Messenger to his Master the French King which was granted by his Excellence vpon condition that he would vndertake that hee might send a seruant of his safely thorough France for England

the noble fauour done vnto them by his Excellence but contrary to all expectation would not giue leaue that Mr. Aishburneham should passe any further but to returne backe to the Iland the Gouernours
