Younger Coot he easily put them to the rout so that most part of them being either killed or taken he pursues the rest as far as Drogheda in which place the Souldiers and Towns-People being put into great consternation in a Weeks time he reduced it under his own power About the same time the Lieutenant-Gederal Inchiqueen had notice given him of an Agreement betwixt Ouen-Ro-Oneal and Monck made at Dundalk whereby all necessary Provisions Powder Shot and Mony were to be furnished for the relief of Derry blockt up by the Lord Ards and Scots and that Ouen afterward should make an Inrode into Leinster and Munster that by this Stratagem he might draw off the Lord Lieutenant from the Siege of Dublin To put this in Execution Farell is Commanded out with five hundred Foot and three hundred Horse But Inchiqueen waiting for him in his return charged him routed him and obtained the Booty he intended After that having received fresh recruits of Men he besieges Dundalk which notwithstanding Moncks resistance the Souldiers delivered up after two days Siege with all the Artillery and Ammunition And being thus encouraged by the Smiles of Fortune and chusing rather to make advantage of his Victories than to enjoy them he reduced Green-Castle Neury and Trim. After which good Services he returns to the Lord Lieutenant having left Garrisons in the places he had taken better provided of Men Mony and Ammunition than before But seeing we have in this place made mention of Ouen-Ro-Oneal it is fit we relate a great Action of his before we continue the History of the Siege of Dublin The Lord Ards with the other Commanders had driven all the English Forces out of Vlster only Derry under the Command of the Elder Coot remaining which could give them any molestation It is a City seated upon Logh Foyle where it contracts it self into narrower compass and is on each side beautified with goodly Meadows and Pastures as the Water is inriched with Fishes Heretofore a Colony of English under the Conduct of Colonel Docwray was there established and many Londoners flocking thither afterwards it was called London-Derry the delightfulness of which place drew to it so vast a number of Inhabitants that it became without Controversie the chief City of Vlster Ards used all diligence to reduce this last place but not by Storm Approaches or Mines but by Building new Forts or taking those that were round it that so intercepting all Relief by Sea and Land it might at length be forced to surrender And indeed Provisions being exhausted and all other necessaries wanting they had been reduced to utmost straits had not Ouen-Ro-Oneal in the very nick of extremity and when the Garrison were at the last gasp brought them succour For he though he had been in a late overthrow sufficiently bang'd by Inchiqueen yet hastens with five thousand Foot and four hundred Horse to snatch the City out of the Jaws of the Enemy which indeed he performed very successfully and seasonably For swift-flying Fame having brought the news of his approach Ards thought it safer presently to draw off his Army than rashly to sight this Enemy that had the English in the City to assist him and leave Garrisons in Convenient places that might curb and block up the Town till upon Ouen's departure the Siege might be renewed again But Ouen with the joint assistance of the Besieged takes in all the Neighbouring Forts and restored distressed London-Derry to full liberty Now the Reader is to take notice what Reward he had from the Rump-Parliament for so important an Action He had made an Agreement in writing Signed and Sealed with Coot and Monck for relieving London-Derry in name of the Rump-Parliament which was sent into England to be Confirmed by the Members Letters were likewise sent in Favour of Ouen commending and extolling him for a Just Enemy a strict observer of his Faith a Man of Constancy and Resolution and true to his word and who if they thought it fit would be very useful to their Cause And both of them flatter him with hopes as if there were no doubt to be made of the Consent of the Rump-Parliament The Rump-Parliament trisled away time in deliberating about these Conditions until they might have intelligence of the overthrow of Ormond and of the Successes of Cromwel And then they reject Ouen-Ro-Oneal thanking Coot and Monck for their Faithfulness and good Services they had rendred to the Parliament But without longer digression let us return to Dublin and Inchiqueen who having performed Actions beyond expectation returned triumphantly to Finglass where the Lord Lieutenant had settled his Camp A Council of War being held there it was resolved to besiege Dublin but yet to try first if they could reduce it by Hunger rather than by a Storm and Assault lest that Royal City and Capital of all Ireland might be Sackt or Burnt by the enraged Souldiers and Friends and Foes be equally destroyed It was therefore thought fit to attack it on both sides and for that end the Lord Dillo being left with five hundred Horse and two thousand Foot to block up the North and farther side of the City the Lord Lieutenant himself with the rest of the Army crossing the River lies down upon the other and South side of it But whilst they are passing over to go to Rathmecus where the River being narrower afforded a more convenient place for building a Fort to hinder Importations into the Town the English Fleet comes in view with relief to the Besieged wherein were embarked Colonel Reynolds Commander of the Horse and Venables who had the Command not only of his own Foot but also of the Regiment newly raised by Monck and others They all in Health and good Plight had set Sail from Chester and with a prosperous Wind arrived at Dublin bringing with them all necessary Provisions With them also came no small number of Temporizers who presently flying over to the Royal Camp give it out for a certain that no more Men were to come to the relief of Dublin but that the whole English Army was to sail to Munster where it was clear that many of their Friends and not a few of Inchiqueens Men who loved changes would joyn with them So soon as the Lord Lieutenant heard this he forthwith designs Inchiqueen for Munster with the choicest of his Foot and almost the whole Horse with orders to oppose the Enemy incourage and confirm the Province and to beware of those whose Fidelity and Honesty was suspected He in the mean time resolved to raise the Siege and encamp his Souldiers at some distance in two or three distinct Camps where being strongly entrenched they might assist one another if occasion required watch the Enemy's motion and hinder Provisions from being conveyed into the Town But at the very instant the Commanders repining that they should be disappointed of
