<P>GEntle Reader, you haue here the &s;iege of the &s;trong Towne of <HI>Breda,</HI> with all the fortifications and out-workes of it, be&s;ides the declarations of them. This Towne of <HI>Breda</HI> lyeth three leagues from <HI>Geertruydenberg,</HI> and as many from <HI>Seuenber|gen:</HI> 3. leagues and a halfe from <HI>Oudenbo&s;ch,</HI> 5. leagues from <HI>Roo&s;endael,</HI> 6. leagues and a halfe from <HI>Bergen vp Zoome, Turnhout,</HI> and <HI>S'hertogenho&s;ch,</HI> 9. leagues from <HI>Antwerpe,</HI> 16. leagues and a halfe from <HI>Lillo,</HI> 9. leagues and a halfe from <HI>Lier:</HI> It is a faire and &s;tately Towne, and of a rea&s;onable bigne&s;&s;e, and hath a &s;tately Pallace, which is belonging to the Counts of <HI>Na&s;&s;au,</HI> and <HI>Barons</HI> of <HI>Breda,</HI> who&s;e Tombes are both in the Church and Ca&s;tle to be &s;eene. It is mightily &s;trengthened and fortified &s;ince it was la&s;t of all taken by the States of the vnited Prouinces.</P>
<P>But to come to the &s;iege of <HI>Breda,</HI> it is ma|nife&s;tly knowne how that his Excellency the Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Spinola</HI> hauing cau&s;ed many hor&s;e and foot to meet on the 19. and 20. of Iuly about <HI>Lier,</HI> he went pre&s;ently towards <HI>Hooch|&s;traeten,</HI> and when hee had fortified it, and <HI>Turnhout,</HI> hee inquartered his forces in the villages of <HI>Chaem, Baerle, Alphe</HI> and <HI>Gil&s;en,</HI> and let them lie there vntill the mid&s;t of Au|gu&s;t, about which time he &s;ent Count <HI>Henry Vanden Berg</HI> towards the Towne of Graue, and cau&s;ed Count <HI>Iohn</HI> of <HI>Na&s;&s;au</HI> to march likewi&s;e thitherwards, with many thou&s;and foot, and a thou&s;and of hor&s;e to make a &s;hew as if he would haue be&s;ieged the &s;ame Town. But on the 26. of Augu&s;t his Excellencie the Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Spinola</HI> &s;ent the Colonell <HI>Don Franci&s;co de Medina</HI> with his Regiment, with many other Companies, and 1000. hor&s;e.</P>
<P>The 27. of Augu&s;t came the Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Spinola</HI> with his whole Armie before the Towne of <HI>Breda,</HI> and he pitcht his owne tent pre&s;ently downe in the village of <HI>Ginneken.</HI></P>
<P>The 28. of this Moneth the Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Spinola</HI> appointed his Armie to be deuided in three &s;euerall quarters and to bee layd a|bout it. The fir&s;t quarter extendeth from the Bo&s;chgate vnto the gate that leadeth to|wards <HI>Tetteringen,</HI> and continueth vnto the Riuer of Marke, which was giuen to Signeor <HI>paulo Baglioni</HI> who hath vnder him his Regi|ment of Italians, be&s;ides other Italians, and 5000. Wallons, which began to intrench them&s;elues pre&s;ently. And it happened that the &s;ame day about noone there were twelue Barkes and a Pinnace by the Spani&s;h taken a|bout <HI>ter Heyden</HI> being bound for <HI>Breda.</HI></P>
<P>And afterwards Signior <HI>Baglioni</HI> laide a &s;trong bridge vpon the afore mentioned Ri|uer, and rai&s;ed two forts of each &s;ide.</P>
<P>The &s;econd quarter is at <HI>Ginneken,</HI> in which village is the Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Spinola</HI> &amp; the Count of <HI>Sala&s;ar</HI> lodged, be&s;ides diuers other Lords</P>
<P>The third quarter is in the village called <HI>ter Hage,</HI> and &s;tandeth vnder the command of Count <HI>Iohn</HI> of <HI>Na&s;&s;au,</HI> who is &s;ome 5000. men &s;trong both hor&s;e and foot.</P>
<P>The 30. of Augu&s;t began the Spani&s;h to make fiue royall Forts be&s;ides many Redouts and Sconces round about the Towne.</P>
<P>The &s;ixth of September was the towne wholy enuironed, notwith&s;tanding that they within made &s;allies, and playd continually with their Ordnance vpon the trenches and other works of their approaching enemies.</P>
<P>The Prince of Orange hauing vnder&s;tood that the Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Spinola</HI> meant earne&s;t with the &s;iege of <HI>Breda</HI> (&s;eeing that hee had not only compa&s;t it about with many Forts, Redouts, and &s;trong Trenches, but &s;ent more|ouer for more aid) he gathered pre&s;ently all his old &s;ouldiers, with the forces of the foure Engli&s;h Colonels, and marcht vp with them as if hee would haue be&s;ieged either <HI>We&s;el, Goch</HI> or <HI>Berch,</HI> but altering his cour&s;e after|wards very &s;uddenly, vpon &s;ome adui&s;es gi|uen to his Excellency, he came downe with his whole Armie with an intention to relieue <HI>Breda,</HI> and &s;at downe with it on the 29. of Sep|tember at a village which is called <HI>ter Heiden,</HI> being but a league from <HI>Breda,</HI> and hauing mu&s;tred his forces he got &s;ome companies of his in the Towne. And wee haue euen now gotten tidings that the Prince of Orange hath made an a&s;&s;ault vpon the Campe of the Marque&s;&s;e <HI>Spinola,</HI> and defeated many of his &s;ouldiers, but &s;pecially in the quarter of Sig|nior <HI>Paulo Baglioni,</HI> although the Marque&s;&s;e got lately 5000. foot &amp; 1000. hor&s;e of Mon|&s;ieur <HI>Tilly</HI> in his campe, be&s;ides Count <HI>Henrie Vanden Berg</HI> with his whole Armie.</P>
