Three Great and BLOODY FIGHTS BETWEEN The ENGLISH and the FRENCH:  
THE FIRST, By Gen. Pen, and Gen. Venables, against Monsieur de Poince, Governor of St. Christopher's for the King of France: With the particulars theref, the taking of the Isle De la Martinicque, and the Resolution of the said Governor to fight it out to the last man, rather than to betray his Trust and Loyalty to the KING.  
THE SECOND, Near St. Mallows, continuing for the space of 8 hours: with the number of Ships, sunk, ●ired, and taken.  
THE THIRD, Near the Isle of Majorca, by Gen. Blake, and the valiant Chevaliers, continuing for the space of 24 hours: With a true Narrative thereof, and the total routing and sinking of both the two Generals, the Lord Valbelle, and the L. de Landes, who had taken above 150 men of war besides gallant Merchants.

Two great and bloody Fights between the English and the French: the first, by Gen. Blake, and the French Chevaliers, near the Isles of Majorca, which continued for the space of 24 hours: the second, at the Isle of St. Christopher's, by Gen. Pen, and Mounsieur de Poince; with the subduing of all the French in De la Martinicque, etc.  
THe French having for some years last passed made an incursion into the Isles of St. Christopher's, and de la Martinicque, at which time they became Masters thereof, and subdued the English, keeping them as Vassals and slaves, and exposing them to most inhuman cruelties and tortures; so that many honest men were deprived of all Earthly Comforts and Enjoyments, till it pleased God to use a means for their deliverance; by whose Series of Providence, great things have been manifested and done for the English Nation at home, and now more especially for his people abroad; as appears by these ensuing Demonstrations, viz.  
General Pen, and General Venables having steered their Coast for the Western Islands, at last bore up towards St. Christopher's, and wheeling off to the South-west Point, tacked about for the Isle De la Martinicque, where Major General Haines 'tis said landed with so considerable a party, that in seven hours' time he became wholly Master of all that was held by the French, possessed their Plantations, and seized their Goods, secured the prisoners, which are said to be 735, and placed his Garrisons: Since which time, we hear, that they have summoned Monsieur de Poince (Governor for the King of France in St. Christopher's Island) who is resolved, if they assail him, to sell their lives at a dear rate, and that no conditions shall be acceptable, though never so equal, for that he will rather choose to die, then falsify his Loyalty.  
The English Generals are now upon that coast and intent (by God's permission) suddenly to make an Attempt: Which the Governor understanding, hath caused to be raised great Bulworks and Fortifications, and thereupon planted many gallant pieces of Ordnance; so that the work to some may seem to be difficult, but feasible enough to such heroical Spirits, who are brass within, and steel without; the English being thus characterized by the French prisoners.  
And thus it appears they are; for from St. Malos they writ, That divers of the French Merchant men returning from Provence, lad●n with Commodities, and convoyed by five men of war, happened to meet with an English frigate, who after 8 hours' fight, sunk 3 of them; but being so lamentably rend and torn, and exceedingly overpowered, she at last gave them another broad side, and by sinking of one down by her side, she charged through and so escaped; in which Dispute, the enemy were so extremely battered and shattered, that not one of them durst attempt a pursuit, this frigate had not sailed many Leagues, but she met with an Ostender, who perceiving her to be very much impaired, bore up close to her, presenting her with three broad sides, one after another: the English frigate answered them again, and plied them so close with great and small shot, that after four or five hours fight, the enemy declined Engagement, and ran aground, where the men all perished, excepting four, who narrowly escaping shipwreck, at last got to St. Malows.  
To these great Achievements, may be added the renowned Victory of General Blake, which according to the most true intelligence is thus represented, viz. That the said General having sent forth a squadron of ships towards the Islands of Majorca and Minorca, after some Leagues past, they espied some ships under sail, who making towards them, the other tacked about, opened their Ports, put forth their Guns, manned their Decks, and prepared to fight them: so that bearing up to each other, the Chevalier de Valie Commander of the French Van, discharged two broad sides, and was answered again: He bore up the second time, but came off with abundance of loss; for he was so gored by the Unicorn, that his ship sprung a Leak, having at least five foot Water in the Hold; besides his main Mast, Boltsprit and Misne, were cut off, by Iron bars, and Chain shot, so that he caused his ship to run aground, by which means, he saved himself, his treasure, and seven more in a Long boat, the rest perished, and about 150 were slain and taken prisoners.  
During which time of Action, the Chevalier de la Landes, who commantled the rest of the French ships, were not in the least declining, but after 24 hours bloody Conflict, was boarded and taken, and not a ship that belonged to him escaped. These two Commanders were accounted the chief Hector's in those parts, and scorned but to bid defiance to the proudest Foe that ever sailed upon the sea, having vanquished in their time above 150 sail of men of war; and yet at the last subdued with nine English Frigates, and the loss of 37 men; as the best Intelligence, of these Times affirmeth.
