LONDON Printed by LVKE NORTON for HENRY OVERTON in the Yeare MDCXLII A TRVE RELATION OF THE PASSAGES OF Gods Providence in a VOYAGE for IRELAND With the additionall forces sent for the reducing of that Kingdome by his Majesty and Parliament HIs Majesty and the State making it appeare by an act of Parliament that in the highest strength of their desires they laboured the quenching that fllame broke out upon the 23. of October 1641. in that miserable Kingdome and manifesting the great concernments of England wrapt up therein The good subjects made ready to concurre in the advancement of so pious a purpose and proportions of Rebels lands propounded divers Adventurers appeared some for land service onely some for the sea that the Rebels for so they are proclaimed by his Majesty and are so in trueth might not have fuell brought from forreigne parts to maintaine the fire and as there was an undertaking for five thousand foot and five hundred horse forthwith to be added to the other thousand sent over by the State so there were appointed for addition to the ships sent to guard the coast fifteen sayle of ships smal and great with a thousand land men under the command of Alexander Lord Forbes Lieutenant Generall under the Lord Brooke and by the care of a faithfull Committee of the City they were made ready in the beginning of Iune in preparation whereof great was the care and paines of the said Committee who in fourteene dayes time compast this work for the maine and hardest parts of it such expedition not usuall in such expeditions sed vincit amor patriae The Names of the

publike meeting it being a day of fasting and prayer we set sayle and had the winde at East the weather very faire and our whole fleet together off of Dover The next day the wind at east blew very hard and foule weather vve having ten barges for landing men rowing into rivers lost 2. of the in that storme The winde as before Captaine Rainsborough and two small vessels went for the Isle of Wight to take in Captaine Longs men and Captaine Andrewes for Falmouth for Captaine Hull and his Captaine Symondson for Weymouth for Major Humfrey and his so then we were left ten in number and that evening having chased some English-men bound for France we came up with the Lizard the winde skanting we had a Counsell aboard the Admirall what to doe and left all for that night to Gods providence in disposing the winde the next day whither to goe into Falmouth or keepe our course The next day Captaine Richardsons barge being almost stav'd we turned into Mounts-bay to repayre her having no winde to lay it along the day was very faire at ten of the clocke in the night we set sayle againe Being hardly able some of us to weather the rock at the bay the next day but forced to turn out as we could thorough an earnest desire of all hands to gain the Irish coast we then met one of the Kings ships coming with many poore people come from Limrike-castle newly taken which had been commanded by Captaine Courtney and not to say what the severall apprehensions of men were concerning the causes and consequences of that losse it most certaine if that supply of Ammunition sent them by the Parliament had bin delivered they might have preserved it to his Majesties use long which now will make Limricke the strongest hold of these Monsters this we found too evident that the Parliament had not their noble intentions answered by them in persons or things as might be made appeare in too many parti●ulars The next day faire weather Sylley bearing South ten leagues off some of our fleet fel among the seven stones were in much danger but came off wel The fift day we had the winde at west and got about fourteene or fifteene leagues from the Lands-end the weather faire we chas'd two Bristoll-men laden with salt and chang'd a man or two with them who told us of some French bound for Ireland The next day the winde W. S. W. Captaine Weldon was sent to Corke with a letter to my Lord President which was as followeth Much honoured Sir Since his Majesty and both Houses of Parliament have thought fit for reducing the Kingdome of Ireland to their due obedience to grant Commission to my Lord Brooke and certaine well affected Merchants and Citizens of London for sending some additionall forces by sea and land to relieve our distracted brethren that are besieged and to hinder any forreigne supplies from the Rebels over which additionall forces which may consist of a thousand land Souldiers at present and five or six hundred Sea-men The Lord Brooke and those that have the aforesaid Commission have nominated and appointed me to be Lieutenant Generall and now seeing through Gods mercy we are in readinesse to come to assist you waiting onely the opportunity of a faire winde I have thought good to send this bearer to crave your advice what places you would have us either to relieve or assault First where we can doe good and those who are to be instrusted it with the charge of the best service If I had not been afraid to be i●bayed I would have gladly come and salute you my selfe but I hope we shall have the occasion to meet ere long in the meane time I intreat you send me your free advice with this bearer whom you know and may trust to whose

50. Muttons from Donnell Brian who dwelt on Thomond side and profest himselfe a Protestant and loyall for the price hee refer'd himselfe to my Lord this day a Councell was held and 36. pieces of ordinance landed being resolved to fall on two dayes after The Weather very ill misty and rainy 200. of our men had order to pull downe the timber of the Abby to make Platformes which accordingly they did but could not make bring away that night the weather was so foule at midnight 7. or 8. Musquet shot from the Towne in the morning they saw 3. Pieces mounted in the Towne which the Enemy cleared A very rainy day wherein nothing remarkable but that some shot past betweene the Towne and the Abby we stood all day in expectation of the Lords who appointed this for the last day of traveling towards us and our people growing impatient of all delayes The Lords came Clinriccard to Terilan a faire house of his on the one side of the Towne and the president to the Fort with 60. Horse our men made a guard for him The president consulted with my Lord Forbes and Captaine Willoughby and offerd to be a mediator and pressing that the faith of the Lords of Dublin were past upon that pacification and if that should not hould how should matters be carried in any part of the Kingdome or difference made betweene man and man place and place and he departed that night to Terilan to conferre with my Lord Clinriccard and the Townes-men This day Captain Zacharies ship came from Kinsale for himselfe being shot in the back we left at Banden to be cured by whom wee heard of Captaine Kettlebies removeall from Kinsale but no man was certaine whither hee went that time there came a Letter from Sir Charles Coote who gave us hope we might have his presence with his men Zacharies Ship freed the English out of a Castle with one Shot and put the Reb to flight Being Sabboth the President came to us to the Fort and came to the Sermon which was in the fields din'd in the Fort with my Lord Forbes two things are mainly driven at first that the Fort should be victualled for eight moneth and secondly that sufficient hostages should be given out of the Town for securing it to the King In the afternoone he rid to Terelan with Captain Willougbies Propositions The Evening our packet-boat came in called the Rafe by whom we had newes from Limrick and other parts from my Lords Castell Steward who writ for supply which accodingly was sent him this night order was given for a counsell of War next morning Foure of our Barges were sent to get plank from a rack a mile or two from us to make Platformes for our Ordnance Wee tooke 3. Rebels over night our officers were early at a Counsell of Warre when all both Seamen and others under-writ to stand to my Lord to the utmost and it was resolv'd to try our strength upon the Towne if the Kings Fort might not enjoy fit conditions The President came to the Fort from Terelan and my Lord Clynriccard writ that he would also come to my Lord Forbes thither but after much expectation he did not which we suspect fell out through doubt how matters would stand if we proceeded in hostility and his Lordship wanting a sufficient guard for himselfe being excommunicate by the Rebels and told by the titular B. of the place that not a man there would draw his sword for him Then we received Captaine Willoughhies Propositions answered by the Gentlemen of the Country for the supply of the Fort according to his desire My Lord Clynriccard being upon his return gave my Lord Forb● a meeting a half mile from the Fort where many things past betwixt them tending to the publike and my L. Forb● urging him much to joyn with and take such a share as God should allot us assuring him he should be as safe as himselfe and that his Kinred did but watch opportunities to mischiefe him he still complained of power wanting and thought we were not strong enough and was earnest that pacification might not be broken assuring us if it were the Countrey would be longer in reducing and with much more charge to the State My L. Forbes earnestly prest my L. President who had 2500. men from the State that he would joyne with us or lend us but 500. men he told us that his men were almost in a mutiny through want of pay and necessaries and those he had were appointed for the safety of my Lord Clynriccard but but yet if we would come to Sliego his men should joyne with us and then especiall service might be done Thus these Lords departed and we returned to a Counsell of Warre where Captaine Willoughby perswaded us hee having knowledge of the Towne that we were too weake most of their houses being like Castles and the wall strong and hard to mine we considered many of our men were then fallen sick of the Countrey-disease and that wee long wanted of three ships of provisions of all sorts that we thought to send presently two Ships to Bristoll for supply especially of them we fought for other diet and tooke 6. or 700. Cattell at least This night all men were desired to consider by the morning what were best to doe by way of counsell this night secretly dispatcht away a Messenger for Sir Charles Coot and his company which would have beeene 500. or 600. men with which help we made no question of gaining the Towne though we had a strong enemy round about us except to Sea-ward and as strong within but that we lookt at our cause our mens valour and their cowardise This night the Enemy out of the Countrey fell upon our men in the Abby were well beaten fled leaving their broges and trouses behind them Counsell was taken with the Seamen to goe for Sliego and them to joyne with the Presidents men and bring with us 500. or 1000. Scots to dispatch the businesse of Galloway but we found such difficultie in that Northeren though but 30. or 40. leauges that it was desisted from 25. Most of this day was spent about 3. of our men that were condemned for severall offences and pardoned at the Gallowes this night a prize was brought us by one of our ships a Barhado-man laden with Tobacco and trading with the Rebells in Limrick River a ship 140. Tunn These two ruines of Galloway and Limrick we resolved because we had strong intelligence that the French were resolved forcibly to bring in Ammunition thether more Letters came from my Lord President and my L. Clinriccard to assure us of the agreement to be stood unto for supplying the Fort nor have we omitted to present all those Letters as wil appeare This night the Earle Connaghs Rebels fell againe upon us with like losse to themselves and hurt us not a man 27. The foulnes of the weather hindred us from my

of the enemy without any losse of ours burnt a Towne of theirs 29. A prize brought to us from Sleigo taken from the midst of the enemy laden with tallow and hides which they were sending into France or Bilbo for ammunition wherein foureteene taken and three friars by the same ship divers of the Scots relieved and a Minister with some people brought to us At this time another ship from Bilbo taken laden with iron steele ammunition and provision in Galloway river his invoyce came to five thousand pound We also had certaine tidings of another of ten guns gone into Dingle which three or foure of our ships were sent to fetch out and have I hope taken long since And thus we left our men dayly working and bringing other parts of Limrike-river this day my Lord Glenmorris was buried the arch-rebell So that to summe up our voyage it comes to thus much in two or three moneths time hath God helped us to take five ships worth if sold to value above twenty thousand ponnds we burnt as much corne as that summe came to slew of the enemy many hundreds fired many Irish Towns relieved many English in Forts and Castles tooke and spoyled thousands of cattle burnt and spoyled many Castles houses of note and mills of the enemy guarded the coast from Kinsale almost to London-Derry blockt up Limricke and Galloway and diverted them still as we went from other designes fighting with them when ever we came and lastly taking in that lovely and usefull castle of the Knights of the Valley where we left our men ready for further service which expired for which our ships and men were hired The intercepted Letters mentioned in the title of this Book are intended to bee printed by themselves they being so large could not be here inserted BRIEFE OBSERVATIONS concerning the VVarre AND The State of Ireland both for the raising and laying the REBELLION 1. IT is easily noted that the seeds of the ruine of a State are sowne in the dayes of greatest prosperity and that peace breeds plenty plenty breeds pride and that brings forth Warre and that runs againe the former round 2. Popery suffered among the Irish and prophanenesse amongst the English have been the Parents of this Monster though it might have other Midwives and Nurses 3. Though we are assured 1000000. English have beene murdered and we hope many more Irish slaine yet mischiefe may be so fomented that it may know no limits nor bounds 4. Popish delusions carry such strength with them especially when they meet with an ignorant spirit that knowne truths and common Principles have the dores bard against them 5. By all wee could gleane in all the providence met with by Sea or Land for intelligence we see that the worke now in hand and the question is Religion and Religion Papist and Protestant cover'd under Puritane or Round-head and good Subject 6. An Irish Rebel and an English Cavallier in words and actions we found as unlike as an egge is to an egge 7. It is most true that from the highest to the lowest from the Regular to the secular from the Capitives we had to the Freemen that came to Parley with us from the Man to the Woman from the living to the dying they profest unto us they fought by the Kings Order for the Kings Honour that wee were his enemies not they which made us professe a new quarrell against them for prophaning his Majesties name and entitling him to all their murders and miscreant practises 8. Three things are found are by the Irish as I wish viz. to have their Religion free and their Religion in their owne hands which the wisest we met with assured us is promised them and that you shall read in their Ecclessasticall Parliament held at Kelkenny which is now printing for you where you may see their end and their meanes conducing thereunto 9. The unfaithfulnesse of most of our Ministers the scurrility and monstrous ignorance of our English have administred oyle to their Flame in abundance and brought downe wrath from Heaven nor in our civill Government there without many sad aspersions from them wherein Dublin suffers much not onely the toleration but complyances with Romish Idolaters hath made them impudent and ours carelesse especially many pieces of our worship arising from the same fountaine and running in the same Sea with theirs as Diocesan Bishops their Courts Officers Revenews and Attendants Church-censures Burialls Christenings Liturgie Holy-dayes Fasts hallowed Places Images Vestures Gestures c. Truth it is the continuance of Ireland in its former condition would have trenched upon Gods honour where one Minister had 24. Livings and the place many times supplyed by Ale drapers at 40. l. per Annum 11. Without all question as the long continuance of ignorance there the people being unchatichized hath led in more of this barbarisme so I feare the former rebellion had never a thorough cure I will not say that many of the english planters that went over were de faece foundation-stones should bee Saphyres so that is no marvell if many that have fled thence have left the country worse than they found it 12. As our Priests doe now more strengthen the rebellion not so on our side men that call themselves overseers of churches opened a doore unto it rhat you may conclude there was never any grand mischeife brooched in the world but such as have beene marked by clergy-mens fingers and the warre now in Europe all over is Episcopall In the Cure note these things 1. A bucket of water shall quench that at first which many tuns cannot after lost opportunity It is not cunctation but expedition not Fabius but Hanniball must still be rebellious 2. If credit may be given to rebels they generally profest that two words from his Majesties owne hand by a knowne messenger to them should command downe all their Armes 3. Had the country risen in any considerable bodyes of english at first and every man either not given rebels too much credit or trusted to his owne private guard it had beene ctushed in the egge which is now growne a flying serpent 4. The Lieutenant or Generals personall appearing there upon the death of the former must needs have given a checke to many of their barbarous proceedings and encouraged the english there in resistance want of governement makes english odious that their very cattell are loathsome to these monsters one of their Armie spoyling in five dayes forty seven thousand english sheepe and in time they would devoure one the other were our necessity capable of so much patience 5. If the vast expence of this kingdome had beene rightly imployed both for shipping and land forces this bogge must needes have been dryed up by Gods blessing 6. Our english comming over fresh and hearty were better to be hazarded upon some of the enemies Townes then there detained to eate our men garrisons and most of them perish with the country-disease 7. If Galloway Lymrike Wexford and Waterford were recovered the whole rebellion is shaken which is irisible with halfe our forces there maintained the state here being nine hundred thousand pounds charge already 8. It may then be reduced when souldiers and commanders there shall rather attend the present work than the continuance of their trade 9. The Irish Lords and Gentry that are found faithfull must be encouraged who will force about them accompanied with good markes of authoritie and trust from hence will draw in the common people who already curse their Priests and Gentry 10. Ships and sea-men are of singular use both in sea and land service provided that good intelligence bee kept from Spaine France and Dunkirke in which worke and much of the land matters ten honest faithfull merchants but united shall doe more than many Committees of State who are through much other work taken off from attending ad idem to which I add the necessary use of horse without which little can be done 11. The Presidents of Provinces and Countries must be desired not to suffer great Armies to bee kept guarding of their Townes and Demesnes but imployed about the generall worke upon our comming thither we met with no considerable man but had most need of us 12 One faithfull honest able minister is worth five hundred men if planted there the people being as ignorant of their duty as sencelesse of their misery I am bold to thinke if the present advantage were taken of the Adventurers ships lying by Lymrike and Galloway the places might soone be ours their domesticke combustions betwixt the old and young merchants in either being well knowne unto us This onely I will adde let England here be quiet and Ireland will not long bee rebellious which the good God grant for his Sons sake Amen FINIS Iune 29. 30.
