Hen. Elsyng Cler. Parl. D. Com. London Printed for G. L. 1642. The Coppie of a Letter sent from Dublin dated the Eleaventh of Apill to a Marchant that lives in Marke-lane Worthy Sir I Have received your Letter which was dated the first of Aprill I am sorry to heare of the difference which is in your Kingdome and especi●lly berweene the King and the P●rliament but I hope in God that they will be reconsiled together againe and then there is no question by the helpe of God but that you will have a happie and ioyfull time there the which I doe much wish for and dayly pray to God to send to you all the happinesse as posible may bee for discontented spirits is the first cause of ruinating of any Kingdom I may speak it by experience God he knows for it was the first that bred our overthrow here in Ireland after the Papists did heare that they should be barr'd of their priviledges then they began to be disconted to gather to a head and this was the cause of their first beginning as some of them have confessed at the time of their death I doe much marvell and wonder to heare of the fall of Sir Edward Dearing and what was the cause of it which made him ●o disagree with the Parliament for he had at the first a very great commendation to bee a very good Common wealths man did agree very well in all things with the rest of that Honorable assembly and now I doe heare that hee is voted a delinquent and is fled to Yorke to the King I pray this next returne send me of the truest newes concerning him and Iudge Malle● for we doe heare that he is committed to the Tower but wee cannot heare for what I hope that wee shall heare some good newes of the happie successe of the Parliament I make no question but you doe heare newes daily which doth come from hence of our miseries which wee doe suffer under by these Rebells I had thought of late that I should not have sent to yov such good newes as now I doe praysed be to God for it yet we are very sorry for the losse of Sir Simon Harcot but praysed be to God for it that we have as good lively spirits left behind and to the glory of God I may speake it for Sir Henry Tichborne sir Charles Cootes and Coronell Hunkes with divers others have behaved themselves so nobely valient in their affaires that they have shewed themselves to be true loyall servants to the Kings Maiestie and the Parliament and Countrey whom they doe serve for Sir Henry Tichborne Sir Charles Cootes and Coronell Hunkes with 5000. foote and sixe hundred horse went out of Dublin the eighth of Aprill and marched up into the west part of Ireland where they did meete with tenne thousand of the Rebels and Sir Henry and his company did set upon them and killed of the Rebels above three hundred that day and did beate the rest of them out of their workes so that they were forst to fly from them and Sir Henery and all his companie persued them so fast for the space of eight miles or above untill they tooke into the woods and at their entrance into the woods they tooke seven of their commanders prisoners and have brought them to Dublin Castle and there they doth remaine untill their triall The names of those which are taken Captaine George Dungwin Captaine Roger Rackley Captaine Patrick Pluncote Captaine Robert Wootton Leifetenant Lendare and Liefetenant Faming besides divers others which doth belong to them they tooke that day also 100. barrells of Gunpowder and shot five Peeces of Ordnance and above three hundred Muskets and ten bundles of Pikes they also tooke from them 120. head of Beefes and sixe hundred of good fat sheepe with a great deale of Corne and Cheese which was brought to Dublin the tenth day of Aprill the which is a great helpe to relieve our men untill they do send some reliefe from England which is expected every day from you with Ammunition and Provision and moneyes the which is wanted here already very much At their returne backe to Dublin they mustered up their men and they wanted of the foot 85 of the horse 37. so that we wanted in all 122 of our souldiers but praised be to God all the rest are in good health only wants mony to comfort them at their Garrisons We do hope in God that if you do send over any Ayd suddenly that this Summer we shall subdue the R●bels for they have beene dismayed very much a late to see how it doth please God to cut them off at every time had they not had any helpe come from other places they could not hold long but we hope in God that their passage will be stopped very suddenly then there is no question but they will soone yeeld for themselves for the most of their Provision is already spent Our Souldiers do intend by the helpe of God to go forth again the 15 of this moneth towards the North part of Ireland for we do here that the Scotch souldiers have given the Rebels a great over-throw on the seventh day of Aprill for they sent a letter to Sir Henry Titchbourne concerning it and as neere as I can here it was to this effect That they marched out of London-Derry with five thousand foot and foure hundred horse and met with the Rebels by the way whereupon they set upon them and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the Rebels eight hundred of their Souldiers and 〈◊〉 ●hree Towns and killed five hundred of the Rebels and tooke the spoyle to themselves they got good store of Beefs and sheepe from them and have had them to London-Derry to keepe themselves withall untill other provision comes into helpe themselves withall They have beaten backe the Rebels further into the Countries and leave all their possessions which they had formerly gotten from us so that our Souldiers do intend by the helpe of God to meet with the Rebels now upon their flight towards Dondath where they do intend to abide untill they doth aet into a head again but we hope in God that we shall prevent them before-hand for if the Scotch doth fall upon them on the backe wing the English by the help of Goe will meet with them by the way so that we hope in God that in time we shall make an end of them and gain to our selves that which we have formerly lost save only the lives of many a good Protestant I pray have me commended to all our friends there So I rest From Dublin the 11 th of Aprill 1642.
