THE Truest Intelligence from the Province of Munster in the Kingdome of IRELAND EXTRACTED Out of severall Letters of very serious importance lately sent from Mr. Tristram Whitcombe Soveraigne of Kinsale and divers other worthy Gentlemen of good repute ranke and quality NEWLY Written published and really averred by one Mr. I. P. who was somtime a Minister amongst them having lately escaped from thence and sustained great losses by the insolency of those bold bloody and barbarous Rebels Wherein is contained The miraculous mercies of Almighty GOD towards the Protestants of that Kingdome in generall and to that Province in speciall manifested by the cutting off of above 2000. of the Rebels by 900. of our Forces and the late surprisall of many more of them by Policie at Sea LONDON Printed by John Hammond and Math Rhodes 1642. The truest INTELLIGENCE FROM IRELAND IRELAND for this present last Yeare hath beene the bloody Stage whereon the horrid and never the like heard of Tragedies have been really to the life or rather to the death acted The Romish Rebels have beene so impious in their crueltie and so cruell in their immanitie that they have not spar'd Men Women nor Children the very Turkes and Mahumetans were never so sanguinean as those Tygers have beene They haue ravished Matrons vitiated Wives destoured Virgins fired Cities and which was the ground of all their insolencies they are damnablly periur'd as having falsified their Oathes both to God and man Their Attempts Plots and Conspiracies have beene so hainous and facinorous that my tongue is not able to relate them much lesse my Pen to expresse them yet I hope by Gods assistance they will bee ere long written in their owne blood Quis talia fande Temperet à lachrimis Who now sorbeares Relating such things to shed brinish teares What hideous and most barbarous Massacres they have perpetrated and committed contrary to the Rules of Religion to God loyalty to the King and charity to their neighbours the History of these times doth sufficiently testifie Audax omnia perpeti Geas Hyberne ruit per vetitum nefas Bold Ireland rushes on To act all mischiefe she leaves none undone But to come to the Subiect matter of this ensuing It pleased Almighty God on the 10th day of Iuly last month that the Forees lately sent out of England under the Command of the Lord Forbes were safely arrived at the Towne of Kinsale in the County of Corke and Province of Munster seven hundred of them and a hundred Sea-men forthwith marched with some Conducters of the said Towne towards the famous Towne of Bandonbridge with a reliefe sent by the Honourable Houses of Parliament of Armes for 500. Men 50. Bartels of Powder for Bandon and hundred and fifty pounds in money for the poore of the said Towne which the aforesaid Forces did faithfully and happily deliver according to the Order of the Honourable Court of Parliament and having further instructions for the relieving of Raph-barry Castle neere Resse in the said Countie about ten miles from the aforesaid Towne they marched from Bandon with neere about a hundred horse and foot of the Towne Souldiers together with their owne eight hundred in which march they met with a booty of 500. Cowes and abundance of Sheep for the guarding of which they left behind them 300. Men who upon the departure of the major part of the said men advaincing towards Raph-barry Castle for the reliefe thereof were set upon by Mecharty Reach Tiego O downy and other Arch-Rebels of those parts of Munster who were in number about 5000. lying close in by-nookes and corners untill the greater part of our Forces were cut of fight and hearing of playing off the Enemies Musquets who tell so hot upon our 300. Men having the advantage of above ten to one against them that they much endangered the lives of the 300. Men. But that GOD that shews himselfe most gracious when his Servants are most necessitated was pleased to put such courage and Power into the hearts and hands of our English that they held our so stoutly that with the losse of Captaine Weld●n and hi● Company save onely the Leivten●●t and thirty men of Bandon-bridge souldiers they cut off the Enemy above five hundred and continued the fight ●●●ill the remainder of the forces which went up to releive Raph-barry Castle were returned unto them Then recovering new spirits the surviving Souldiers fell on the Enemy so eagerly and und●tin●edly with the assistance of their fellow-forces that they slow at the least twelve hundred For having surrounded and encompas● them the Enemies could hardly betake themselves to their heels as they usually doe and have formerly done after the first or second shot unlesse they should expose themselves to the mercy of the water somwhat neere the place of their sight as they intended for the recovering of a certaine Island to av●yd the ●ury of our Forces Many of the Rebels were constrained after the violent and revengfull pursuit of our Army to trust to the courtesie of the meecilesse waters wherein there could not be lesse then five hundred swallowed and overwhelmed like proud Pharoah and his hoasts in an ingurgitative neck of that none sparing Ocean Thus by this true Relation you may evidently perceive Gods great mercy to his servants and his iust lugment towards his and their Enemyes of which we ought all to take speciall notice and to render him due thankes to whom the honour belongs saying as that renowned and victorious King Henry the fist sometimes said at his triumph after his Battaile at Agincourt over the French who were more then ten to one against him commanding all his Soldirs to acknowledge upon their knees those words of the Psalmist Non no●is Domine non uobis sed nomini tuo da gloriam Not unto us Lord not unto us but unto thy Name give the glory Another remarkable Passage concerning the happy Proceedings of our last Forces by SEA as followeth ONe of our Ships lately sent forth to the Coasts of Ireland ventured upon this ensuing Stratagem into the harbour of Baltemore They put up the Dunkirkers Colours as if they had come with Ammunition and Armes for the Rebels which the Rebels being very proud of and confident that they were as our men pretended to be both by their Coulers and the Irish-language which some of them spake were drawne on Ship-board in particular Durmod Glack Florence Macharty Arch-Rebels with divers other the principall of which they saved alive the other they hanged vp presently Thus we see that by the divine providence our policy and weake meanes doe prosper to the astonishment and destruction of our Enemies and to the perpetuall exultation and obligation of all true Protestants who ought not for all this to tempt GOD by neglecting meanes in due time of sending over sufficient Ammunition mony and men to sucour our distressed friends in Ireland and suppresse their Enemies who with GODS blessing on these meane● may be quickly extirpated or reduced to their obedience to the Crowne of England The Authors Animadversion and Conclusion MY humble A●●●ce is Sa●v● melior● jud●cto That ●● there must needs be fighting at home which God in his infinite merey●●vert that we would shot the Dore which is the Kingdome of Ireland instanced after the old Prover● Hee that will for England 〈◊〉 Must●in Jreland first ground hope Lest fighting amongst our selves the Dore being open the J●ish or some forraigne Enemy or both invade and subvert us For the preventing whereof it is necessary to send with all expedition for I●●●te 〈…〉 post●est occasio calva Occasions lock is just before Which being past gives no hold more ●●on●derible Army of faithfull resolute Souldiers very well accoutred and ●ovided and no losse experienced in those parts whither they are sent to recover the Corne and Cattle into our Forces hands for their Winter support and to make impregnable Fortifications upon the severall harbours of that Kingdome where there are none before the raging 〈◊〉 and tempestuous stormes of that frigid Santon appeare when Ships cannot play upon that dangerous Coast to prevent a future supply from these Rebels Adherents and then by the helpe of the Lord of Hosts whose Spirit will set up his Standard against his and their Enemies 〈◊〉 the malice and might of the Divell the Pope and all their cursed complices and maintaine this owne cause VVee neede not doubt of a speedy and happy Conquest of that rebellious and Unfortunate Kingdome But happly it will be obiected that Englands necessity cals for charity first at home To this I answer First by the Rule of Piety the way to gaine a pacification with God and then with the King and so peace among our selves is by Repentance Fasting Prayer and the practise of Mercy in releasing the oppressed in re●●eving the distressed Jsay 58. from the 6th verse to to the end Secondly by the Rule of Policie trading now being de●● and the 〈◊〉 part of this Kingdome living upon manuall labour it is more then probable that wanting imployment heere to maintaine themselves and their great charge as many of them undergoe they will take unlawfull wayes of subsisting and so endanger the Kingdom and therefore may well be spared hence and bee better maintained in the opportune regaining of Ireland which is the preserving of England then suffered to be their owne carvers here it distractions continue which God forbid to the hazard of this Kingdome Thirdly the Men that are or shall be sent over with expedition into Jreland the now miserable seat of warre they being a considerable strength will be able to effect the Conquest sooner and at much less charge to to this Kingdome then otherwise and upon occasion of foriaigne Invasion which we may justly scare the ●urke having got all that he hath in Europe by Civill Dissentions and differences betweene the Christian Princes the men sent over into Jreland being trained up in the Schoole of warre and flesht with the blood of their enemies shall by their skill courage and experience doe twice so much beneficiall Service as raw unexperienc'd and fresh-water Soldiers so that the present rending over of a considerable number of men well appointed for Jreland can be no prejudice but rather an extraord 〈◊〉 advantage to this Kingdome Ordered that this be printed and published Iohn Browne Cler.
