V. in the year 1647. A great and glorious VICTORY Obtained in IRELAND My Lord I Received your Letter dated September the third concerning the proceedings of the Parliament and Sir Thomas Fairfax's Army in which I most humbly thank your Lordship I received abundant satisfaction I shall not fail in some manner of requitall to give your Honour a particular account of the Affairs of this Kingdome and more especially of the great and most remarkable Victory which it pleased God to give my Lord Inchequin and the forces under his command begun at Conmell Castle on the Lords day at night on September the fift and perfected on the day following September the sixt where all the Cavalry of the Rebels under the Lord Muskry and the Earle of Glamorgan were deeply routed and above 2000 foot slain under the command of that Arch-rebell Owen-Roe-Oneal And surely though the mercies of Almighty are spread over all his works yet they are no where more visibly to be seen nor more legibly to be read then in his most gracious deliverance of this Kingdome of Ireland from the hands of the most barbarous and insulting Rebels at what time with a wicked confidence they threatned to root both us and our Religion out of the Kingdom and with open-mouth were ready to devoure us but blessed be the Name of the Lord of Hosts who will not be seen on their side who boast of the numbers of their Chariots and Horses and put their trust in the arme of flesh but is pleased to give the Victory who though weak in outward strength do make him their shield and their buckler who fighting for the truth of the Gospel and for the cause of Christ in the purity of Religion hee is always found to be miraculously neer unto them in the day of their visitation On Wednesday September the first my Lord President having quieted his Army and removed a great part of their discontent by assuring them that there was a considerable sum of money comming from England to their reliefe hee drew them into the field and so much of the Artillery with him for which he could provide himself with carriages which was one Demiculverin and three field peeces with these hee marched the first night to Ballekerry and next morning having secured the the passe of Addor he marched to Limbry and quartered that night at a little Village called Nully where our forces that were sent to gather cattle and drive them toward the campe came very late but with a considerable booty of about 2000 Cows and Sheep The next day wee sate downe before the Castle of Conmell having not the sight of any Enemy in all our march My Lord President had no sooner placed his posts and made his approches unto the Castle but he sent his Trumpet to summon it but the Rogues though they had quarter offered for life and their wearing apparell obstinately denyed to yield and returned answer by his Lordships Trumpet that rather then they would surrender the Castle they would bury themselves in the ruines of it whereupon my Lord President commanded the Pioners to open the ground and draw a line about the Castle who immediatly undertook the work and that with such diligence and celerity that by Saturday on three of the clock in the afternoon the Line was almost perfected On the Lords Day some works were made whereon wee began to plant our Ordnance to make our batteries In the mean time the Enemy shot very violently from the Castle their great Guns and their Muskets without intermission playing perpetually on us by day and night but with little or no execution onely a common souldier shot in the shoulder and Captain Dothick lightly razed with a Musquet Bullet on his thigh About five of the clock in the Evening our Scouts brought word that they had discovered a Body of the Enemyes horse consisting of about 400 on the other side of the Hill Westward by the River Immediately Major Trenchard was commanded with 200 Horse to march up the Hill and Lievtenant Colonell Knight to follow him with 400 foot Major Trenchard had order to observe the motion of the Enemy and if he could find any advantage to fight with them and upon all occasions to returne advertisements to my Lord President The enemy perceiving a considerable party advanced on the hill durst not adventure the encounter but retreated back into the woods which did not a little befreind them for though a forlorne was sent out after them by reason of the thicknesse and un-frequentednesse of the woods they could not take any one prisoner whereby to learn certainly the number or designe of the enemy insomuch that night comming on our men were enforced to retreat to the main body of our Army before Conmell Castle without being able for the present to put any thing in execution That night a very strong guard and Sentinell was appointed and about one of the clock in the morning the enemy in a full body issued out of the woods and in great silence advanced up the hill the moon at that time shone very bright and casting a great shade down the hil the body of the enemy seemed to be far more and greater then indeed they were However it could nothing discourage the gallant resolution of Major Sefford who having received orders to that purpose was not onely in a preparation to sustain them but on his advance to meet them halfe the way which be performed with such dexterity and successe that though the Rebels horse came pouring down upon him and gave an Alarme to all the Campe yet he stopped at the first the course of their career being assisted for that service with about 300 foot and the Dragoons of Captain Trumball and forced the enemy to retreat from whence they came and not long after he did heat them from the advantage of the hill and forced them to fly amayn into the woods from which they first did issue but not thinking it expedient to follow them further into the woods for feare of Ambuscadoes he returned to the top of the hill where he continued till the morning The day appearing they found among the slain divers Renegadoes belonging heretofore to Sir John Barlase his Regiment of horse and the Lord
