in the mean time filled the ditch with faggots,
made themselves their way with their swords in
two several places, and so entred in with a most
undaunted resolution, and fell so thick upon the
Enemies, that not with standing the great resistance
which the Prince of Coude made, having
charged at least ten or twelve times himself in
person, cur men became masters of the lines, so
that all that the Enemy could do was to escape
away with their Horse, and some few of their
Foot that took their way towards Cambray and
Do way, having left behind them all their Canon
their Tents, and generally all their baggage, with
the Archdukes own Coach.
When the news came of this defeat, there
was above 3000 already taken prisoners, and
the Marshals de Tureene and d'Hoquincourt
were on the pursuit of those that were fled; so
that by the next we shall know how many men
slain, and the names of the most considerable,
with the number of the prisoner taken. That
same day the King, the Queen, and his brother
with all his Court went to the chief Church of
Peronne, where they fang Te Deum, and gave
thanks to God for this great Victory obtained
upon the Enemy.
