Seamen were sent who after a view had of the place undertooke it which was performed on this wise A boate laden with provisions was placed in the middle between foure boats on each side two of which were manned with Seamen who in flankes faced both wayes plying their Musketts on the enemy who from the shore played on them with about 300. Musketiers yet our Seamen gallantly proceeded put all the provisions into the Castle and returned without the losse of one man onely two slightly wounded After this Collonel Laugherne having drawn his foot into a body being without Seamen in all about 350 he encouraged them to give an assult on the Towne which after some debate was attempted and on the 22. of January last our foote forced their passage over the Bridge in which we lost but one man and having beaten the Enemy from their first guard they pressed on to the second which they also tooke and pursuing the victory beate them out of their maine guard which was at the market place and then out of the Church where our Forces tooke two brasse Demy-Culverins which Gerrard brought from Bristoll with some Powder Ball and all their provisions and following the enemy beat them all out of the Towne and so we are now Masters both of the Towne and Castle Of the enemy were slaine in the place 85. besides those that were slaine before the Castle 100. prisoners were taken and their whole Forces routed and I believe in their flight they never looked behind them untill they came to Castle Emlyne which is six miles from Cardigan In the Town we also took 250. armes I have not heard since these unhappy differences begun in this Kingdome that the hand of the Almighty hath more visibly appeared in giving so great victories to so small a handfull then hath been manifested in these parts and to his own power we attribute all the praise and glory Die Martis 4.
