Jones resolved to rise with the Army and to follow the Enemy and had scarcely spoken the word for commanding Drums to beat but by especial Providence at the same instant did the Castle beat a Parley offering to surrender it if permitted to march away with Bag and Baggage and Colours flying which with advice of a Councell of War was assented unto we receiving the place and placing therein a Garison That night our Army marched back through Trim and quartered at Scurloikestowne aforesaid therein in foure houres marching as far as before they had done in one whole day That night a Convoy with some provisions came from Drogheda to the Army That night a Commanded party of 500 Horse was sent out from our Army with Orders to follow the Enemy and beat up his Quarters if enquartered otherwise to follow him to Dublin if marching forward the Body of our Army being to follow after with all possible expedition This commanded Party found the Enemy quartered behinde a very great Bog so as no approach could be made to him whereof Col.
