the Lest Wing, and was seconded by the Reserve commanded
by Field-Marshal shack. General Major Quast led
the Right Wing, and charged the enemies Lest Wing, and
defeated the enemy successfully, insomuch, that the enemy
quitted not onely the field, but retreated to Newburgh;
from whom divers Standards and Easigns were taken, and
my Regiment of Horse, which charged the enemies six
times, took seven Ensigns and one Standard, some hundreds
of prisoners; the chiefest where of was the Duke of Weymer,
Count Kingsmark, Colonel Smith, and divers
others.
On the place were killed General Major Bottiger, and
many more of the Officers which the list sheweth.
Ours also endured much, and because I was faine to fall
on the Enemie in his place of advantage, Major General Quast
of the Brandenburg hers was shot in his belly, and Colonel
Shultz hurt in the head, but not deadly of My Colonel
Lieutenant Josias Breida Rantzow, and Colonel Lieutenant
Sandberg, and my Captain kay of Ailfield, and Tupsing, are
killed, my Major the Baron of Weicks was shot through the
arm, Captain Claud shot in the neck, and through the cheek
with three bullets: Captain Hints run through with a rapier;
but few of our common men are flaine, if compared with the
flaine of the Enemie, the Polonian Colonel Premsezimsky,
and Major Narrendorp are slaine by shot; my Major Lutgens
and Major Harleff are taken prisoners, for all this ours kept
on couragiously, and were eager to attaque the Enemy in
Newburgh, and have utterly routed them out of the Island;
for, on the next day, being the 15 of November we bagan
to batter the Town, our ships and the Hollanders, did assist
in the battery, which caused the Enemie to send to us for an
agreement, desiring us to cease battering, which I having imparted
to Field-Marshal Shack and the other General, upon
the result I sent word they must yield upon discretion, this
they accepted, and yesterday (the Palsgrave of Sultzbach,
and Field Marshal Steinbock being gone awa by night in a
boat) the Soldiery marcht out eleven Regiments of horse,
