Upon Monday being 4. of November, the L. of Trinity sent his army to Villers, & Tailleret: the lesser company ascended toward Villers: the people seeing their enemies approach, after they had with prayer commended themselves to God, strongly withstood them, & slue many: many also were hurt, & some fled. The other company ascended toward Tailleret, & although they of the place were but few in number, & that part of the army greater, yet making their prayers, & commending their cause to God, they likewise defended themselves valiantly. In the mean season, they of Villers emboldened by their late victory, came to assist their neighbours, & being assembled together, courageously pursued their enemies, & put them to flight. In this pursuit, it chanced that this poor people by an ambush of their enemies, which came another way, were suddenly enclosed, and like to be destroyed: but yet by Gods help they all escaped, and only three hurt, which were soon cured again: on the enemies side there were so many slain, that they lay together by cartloads. The same day also 17. of Roccapiata put to flight a great number of the inhabitants of Sanson, near to Roccapiata, that went thither, and spoiled a rich man there, of all that he had.
