January 1641. BEfore I had well ended my Letter Dunboyne distant from Dublin six miles was burnt by our Troop which was the seat of an ancient Lord Baron and a strong peece of refuge of the enemies Oh that we had but timely aide how seasonablie would it now be For two Spanish Priests are taken who brought Letters as credibly is reported intimating that there is aid coming from Dunkirke I meane Armes I would to God there were shipping of ours at Sea to stop their evill intents and to prevent their inhumane proceedings For if they receive Ammunition I assure you we are likely to have a tedious and a dangerous warre whereas yet they are most naked though in very great multitudes which being in time prevented of further supplies must needs consume themselves by famine else will they proceed in their Woolvish devouring what ever comes in their power without any fear or wit FINIS
