them but finde clearly that Divisions and Distractions within which God alone had wrought amongst them were most prevalent towards the Surrender There marched out at the Surrender about Twelve or thirteen hundred Officers and Soldiers in pay being decreased in the Siege to that number from about Two thousand by the best account we had and we finde yet in the Town I believe no less then Four thousand men able to bear Arms It appears still very Populous though since we came last before it they have lost as they account to us above Five thousand Souls what through the Sword without and the Famine and Plague within the last whereof is still violent amongst them to the great endangering your Soldiery here if God by distinguishing mercy prevent not and this way as well as in the outstanding of better Conditions from us God hath rendred their Obstinacy a scourge to themselves and made us in the way he saw it good to incline us to a means to keep them under his own more immediate and righteous Judgement We have about Three thousand five hundred Foot Arms already delivered up and brought into stores for your Service and Eighty three Barrels of Powder with some store of other Ammunition and some Pistols and old Saddles but no Horses We hope to finde yet more Arms and Ammunition and intend speedily to clear the place of a multitude of People that are most dangerous either in Quality or Infection and by degrees it may be rendred more English as you or your Ministers shall finde opportunity of Planters though there are now divers of the now Inhabitants and some persons of Quality amongst them whose carriage all along towards the English People and Interest and particularly in this surrender may deserve your admittance to continue here and favorable dealing in point of their Estates Of the persons excepted from quarter there was onely the Governor and ten more whose names are mentioned in the inclosed note that rendred themselves at our mercy none of which we have yet executed nor are yet well resolved how to deal with them though I suppose we shall see cause to execute some of them in a Military way in relation to the holding out of the place and for terrors to others and there are others of them fit to be reserved for examples of Justice in a Judicial way in relation to the first Rebellion and Murthers But it hath pleased God since the surrender providentially to discover and deliver into our hands three persons of principal Activity and Influence in the obstinate holding out the last years Major the Bishop of Emley and Major General Purcell all whom we presently hanged and have set up their heads on the gates the two latter being original Incendiaries of the Rebellion and Mischiefs in it or prime Engagers therein and also one Captain Welsh a Priest whom we have not yet executed but I think shall Now besides the real importance and advantage of this place towards the further carrying on or ending the War and the setling and securing of your Interest in this Nation if God see it good it is not unhopeful that the terror and sad example of it may so work upon other places remaining through Gods blessing as to hasten or facilitate the reducement of them as much as the long detaining us at this Siege hath retarded it save that the winter season and difficulty of subsisting now for Horse or men in the Field about their remaining Garisons may give them so much breathing time as to digest and forget this example however it was a Mercy most seasonable in relation to the present condition of your Men and state of your Affairs in this Land as well as great in effect that this place was now Surrendred to you on such Terms and God doth by the extremity of Winter weather ever since our Agreement whereas he had till then favored us with a more dry and gentle Season then hath been ordinarily known before for so long time together and so late in the year make it appear more feeling to be so And you as we that serve you here may accordingly adde it to the account of those other great Blessings and Deliverances and more glorious Workings of Gods good hand towards you this year in England and Scotland which you have to acknowledge to the Praise of his Great Name and improve to his further Honor and Service in the Advancement of Righteousness and Truth in the Three Nations and furthering the Exaltation of all that is indeed the Interest of the Lord Jesus Christ who hath so graciously owned and thus far Upheld and Established yours Now that you and those that serve and partake with you in these things may be both intent to consider and seek and taught of him more and more what maner of persons we ought to be and what to do for his Name and made through his greater Grace both really to be and faithfully to do in some sort more answerable to such peculiar Favors of his and Experiences or Testimonies thereof towards us and preserved by him from the many Snares and Temptations attending such Advantages to such corrupt Natures is still the hearts desire and prayer of him who hath been very little and grows less able otherwise to serve you Your most humble Servant H IRETON Limerick 3.
