companies that escaped with the first did into Zabern Dachstein Moltzheim and other walled Towns thereabouts some sixe Cornets of horse got into a Wood neither did Colonell Obertraut thinke it safe to set vpon them there but he went into Strasburgh there by and only kept the Countrie about it and waited for their comming forth And there for three daies they kept themselues safe enough which they could not haue done in a plain opē field For the defendants haue this aduantage of the Assaylants in a Wood That they neede not feare either ambush or surprise but the Assaylant is rather warie to enter those thickets for feare of falling himselfe into an Ambuscado Then again against an Armie in a Wood the enemy can haue small vse of his horse and the trees and bushes make his Pikes mostly vnseruiceable too As for shot they may goe a birding if they please for any great good they can doe for they shall be sure to hit more trees then men whereas the defendants may better vse their Armes for their body of Pikes may be orderly rang'd and may make a firme stand and are not cumbred with carrying and entangling them among the trees but neede no more but charge them vpon the Assaylants and euery tree againe is as good as a towre for a Musquetier from behind which he may at pleasure and in safetie almost discharge and the tree serues him for a Rest too so that an Armie there feares nothing but firing the Coppis about their eares or to be famisht if they be so round beset that their horse cannot get out on the backe side to fetch in releefe and this want of victuals was the aduantage which Count Mansfeild had of them For when the souldiers had eate vp their victuals which they brought with them in their knapsacks and drunke out all their water out of their bottels or those that had it their wine out of their Borachoes there was no stay for them in a desart succourlesse Forrest so that hunger which breakes through stone wals and feares no worse enemie then it selfe made some of them rather out of stomacke then courage to aduenture forth and sending a Trumpet to Strasburgh to offer their seruice to that State came with their troupes within a Musquet shot of the Towne and there quietly expected their answer The Burghers though they had no neede of horsemen yet curteously sent them out bread and wine for themselues and oats for their horses with which while they made merry a younger Prince of the house of Saxony a man though not in any entertainment yet friend to the Emperour being then in Strasburgh went out to them perswading with Colonel Moüder their chiefe Commander to returne to Leopoldus seruice which the braue Colonell Obertraut hearing of sent out of Strasburgh tooke the Prince prisoner sent him to Hagenaw whence we heare he is to be sent to vs to Manhem Hereupon the whole sixe Cornets yeelded to Obertraut and tooke the oath to serue the King of Bohemia and rent Leopoldus Ensignes and receiued the Kings Colours They gaue notice also of sixe Cornets of horse more and one Company of foote which would doe likewise of which wee haue not yet heard While these things went thus with them another part of Leopoldus Armie had got into Lichtenaw and fortifide it these were some few Companies of foote with fiue peeces of Ordnance which they brought from Hagenaw but by letters from some of themselues the 12 of this May it appeares they were so weake that they feare the Marquesse of Badens comming vpon them who though he hath receiued an ouerthrow lost his baggage and Canon which he hath not yet recouered hath now made ouer his Countrie to his Sonne and hath rallyed the scatterd Regiments of his Armie together and hath againe taken on those Companies which he cast before and sworne them in the name of the King of Bohemia so that he is sixe or 7000 foote and 1500 or 2000 horse in the field againe and resolues once more to try his fortune And thus you heare what is become of the Arch-Dukes men One thing I had forgot which was this That when he rose from Hagenaw he for haste left behind him one Morter and two Wagons laden with Granades 250 Centeryes hundred weights of powder 150 of match and some other munition which he put into a little village hard by with a guard of 80 Musquetiers who quickly yeelded what they were not able to keepe It seemes the Arch-Duke wanted horse to draw away his Canon and was faine to take those out of his Wagons which should haue carryed away his Ammunition which he had rather leaue behind him then the other for he thought it would haue bene a great dishonour to him to haue lost his Canon and the King of Bohemia was as well content with the match powder and shot which he left for he had more neede of that then of peeces And thus Sir haue I related the siege of Hagenaw with what followed after the raising of it one part of Leopoldus Armie being slaine in the way by the Mansfeildians comming to releeue the Towne others in their Trenches by the towne Garrison sallying out others drowned and slaine in passing the Rhine a second part got home with their Generall a third part is entertained by vs and a fourth part in a weake Towne in feare of the Marckgraue of Baden The Arch-Duke himselfe hardly escaping his whole Armie thus vtterly defeated he hath no power of a while to make head againe What the King of Bohemia will next doe was not resolued vpon the tenth of this moneth only that he obserues which way Tillye and the Spaniards will stirre that he may if it please God to strengthen him be with his other enemies as he hath beene with the Leopoldians What next happens you shall euery weeke if conueniencie of Messengers serue be faithfully certified of God grant you heare no worse newes About the same time newes was brought vs out of the Bishop of Cullens Countrie of the braue exploits of young Brunswicke whom the Germanes for his courage vigour and spirit call the Dul Hertzog Van Brunswick that is the Mad Duke of Brunswick This young Imp of Mars being trained vp vnder the discipline of that famous old Souldier the Prince of Orange his kinsman as you cannot but haue heard and being brother to the present Duke of Brunswicke who hauing no hope of Issue this is held to bee his heyre apparent and successour who though he were like to be a Prince of the Empire could not yet be discouraged from this enterprise with that vulgar feare That if he declared himselfe so farre against the Emperour that he would giue away his Dukedome but hath vowed for his Cozens sake the Queene of Bohemia to spend the last drop of his bloud And how the Emperor is like to deale with him you may perceiue by this passage In that
