HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE AN EXACT RELATION Of a Battell fought by the Lord Moore against the Rebels in Ireland with the number that were slain on both sides THE Lord Moore hearing of the Rebellion of the Papists sent for all his Tennants and asked them if they would assist him in suppressing of the Rebels their answer was they would be ready at all times to venture their lives for their King him and their Countrey His Lordships answer was he was very thankfull to them for their faithfulnesse to his Majesty and also for their faithfulnesse to him and to their Countrey and if they would assist him he would by the 30. of October provide Arms for them and he would go finde out some of the Rebels who did much spoyl all the Countrey their abouts their answer was with all their hearts they would assist him to the uttermost of their lives and fortunes promising all to attend him on the 29. of October In the mean time the Conspirators hearing of my Lord Moores design upon them they made themselves two thousand strong intending to take my Lord Moore in his house and to caâry him away prisoner and to seize upon all his Munition and to take his hundred horse that he had then in readinesse he having notice of their coming sent post fâr all his friends and Tennants for that he was before their coming furnisht with a thousand men but had not gâtten in Arms for half of them The Rebels drew neer his house to the number of two thousand with Drums and Colours displaid before them My Lord Moore seeing them so nâer thought it not wisedome to let the Rebels besiege him in his house therefore he marcht out to meet with them and having met with them in a narrow passage which went to hiâ house a Rock being on one side and a River on the othâr side he placed his horse in the Front where began a very smart fight between them but the Rebels still prest to gain the pâssage to his house which they with much adoe gained so that by that mâans the Lord Moores Horse could staâd him in no stead nâither was he able to charge them any more with his Foot so that he was forst to march to a City three miles of The number of the Rebels slain in this fight was three hundred the number of the otherside slain was forty thân the Rebels entered the Lord Moores house and took all that they found in it and killed up all his Cattell and pillaged his Tennants houses and destroyed all thâir Cattell round about The chief Commander of the Rebels is Sir Patrick Oneal the high Sheriff of a County in Ireland who with the other Rebels published many declarations in writing to this effect Thât they were not a conquered Naâion nor would not live under thâ Laws that have now of late been enacted and they would have a free use of thâiâ Religion without interruption which they had now cause to fear would be much straitned if not uâterly taken away therefore it is high time to stirre since it is of so great a cânsequence therefore all that wish well to the Catholique Faith let them now betake themselves to their Atms and come now and assist us who are now in the field to defend the Religion with our swords which hath been established in this Kingdom by our worthy Ancestors and hereby we shall put honour upon our Religion and make our names famous thorough the Christian world and if any of the Catholique Religion shall refuse to assist us in this our just defânce let them know they will be kept under like slaves and draw upon them a curse from all the Catholiques in the world and the curse of us Priests aâd Fryers and Souldiers Given at the Councell held the 31. of October in the County of Monno Patrick Oneal Hugh Mackmadouse Father Patrick Fryer Dennis FINIS
