Memorable day with us indeed when 400. Foot and 80. Horse marched out under the command of the Lord Moore on the the north side among his owne tenants to Talloglland where Colonell Mac Byan with his companies have beene billetted and were unknowne to us the night before upon some mischiefvous counsell the whole fraturnity of the Rebels had cropt Sir Phi. O Neale being President there appeared 80. Coullers and in view 3. for one of ours they had entrenched and fortyfied in a place of the Towne but our men declined them not but with as much alacrity as there commands could wish drew up boldly and gave fire so thicke and sure that after the Rebels had replyed to three or foure files of shot and finding so many droopping among them they betooke themselves to their fast refuge their heeles about 300. of the common souldiers and not lesse then 30.

O Neale whom we supposed had kept that lodging still burnt New-Towne under his nose drew two companies to fight in the Castle and returning intending the assistance to the Lord Moore if there were need but by firing all the Townes thereabouts they soone perceived a victorie on the Lord Moores side in this the Lord Moore behaved himselfe most valiently beyond all expression and to so great a hazard of his person more then pleased his Friends had his Boot cut through his stocking with a Sword and another hurt his Horse with a Pike in the midst of all the danger of shot on every side it came off without other harme and which hath beene Gods wonderful preservation nay all this hosts flight and prosecution for two miles about not one man of ours so much as hurt Sir Phi. O Neale with the rest of there great commanders having thus payed their way fled very meanly attended leaving such other Gentlemen behind to their miserable condition which they did deservedly approve and all their army hopes spoyled which they by him perswaded to in this houre lighted my Lord Moore who was the first that gave us assistance at first so he was the last that chased them away in their troopes dispersing the first of which he gave to appeare that evening when some of the English escaping from them brought newes that the two Castles Beauly and Strainus being wholly forsaken by them into which our Governour presently sent some Companies who entred peaceably and with some horse roved the Country toward Termonsecking but found not a man of them onely a world of Corne which the Enemy could not fire for feare so that now our gates are now opening and City silling with provision and other boote all the Country a far off desiring to be admitted to our Market all hearts rejoycing every street ringing with praises to God the Donor to whom onely it doth belong and that not onely patiently but publickly and solemnely we faile not thankefully to acknowledge LOving Brother my last to you was by a Friend Doctor Iones in which I declared to you what befell us since my last Letter by the Post which was that out of Munster we had newes that the Lord President joyning with some 150.
