That it was his earnest desire that there might bee a Day of Humiliation set a part for Fasting and Praying humbly beseeching the Lord to hearken to their requests and desires for a faire gale that so their present Design might be no longer detarded but that they might have a free and speedy passage to Dublin for the relieving of the distressed Protestants Whereupon a day being set a part and with one unanimous consent joyning all in prayer together it pleased the great God of Heaven to hearken to their prayers grant their requests For whilest they were in prayer it pleased the great Jehovah of Heaven to send them a faire wind where the Commanders and Souldiers tooke their opportunity and hoysted sayle and are now landed safe at Dublin But the said Mr. Peters were left behinde for the performance of some good service in England and expediting the work in Ireland But because I will not leave you altogether unsatisfied of the affaires of that Kingdome I shall heere insert the state and condition of the Brittish Army as followeth Sir Charles Coote with a gallant party hath joyned with some of the Marquesse of Munrowes horse Generall of the Scottish forces and it is supposed will forse their passage through the Rebels quarters and joyn with the Lord Jnchequeen who hath also a gallant party which if they do they will much indanger Prestons and Macharts Armies that lyes at a distance from Dublin for since the landing of the English at Dublin they have been somwhat discouraged and dare not make their neere approaches as they did formerly The Rebels are about 12000. strong and now keepe their randezvouzes some 10. miles from Dublin They have as yet 11. Counties in their possession that have not tasted of this Warre but Sir Charles Coote with his forces makes a neere approach towards them and is thought will be amongst them very sodainly Since the Rebels besiegeing of the City of Dublin the Protestant forces have been very active abroad in the Rebels quarters and hath taken divers Armes and Ammunition with great store of Cattle viz. The Lord Inchiquin hath been amongst the Rebels in the Province of Munster and hath forced them to contribute great sums of money to him for the payment of his forces having the compleatest and greatest Army on foot for the Parliament then any other Generals The Marq. of Ormond hath declared himselfe to the L. Inchiquin That he is now resolved to prosecute the war against the Irish for preservation of that Kingdome to the Crown of England Sir Charles Coot and Generall Monroes Horse have joyned together and hath performed gallant service in the North of Jreland since the Rebels advance towards the City of Dublin The Marquesse of Ormond hath not been backward but continually in actuall service for since the Rebels neer approach to Dublin he hath made many sallies out and hath not returned in but with great Prize Their Horse skirmish dayly The Enemy somtimes retreats and at other times gaineth ground They have taken the Nasse but have lost many other Garrisons in several Counties FJNJS
