hundred_o and_o fifty_o of_o my_o old_a soldier_n leave_v in_o the_o town_n beside_o townsman_n the_o rest_n be_v make_v up_o by_o pembrokeshire_n man_n take_v by_o my_o lord_n gerrard_n in_o that_o

and_o for_o the_o more_o certain_a discovery_n thereof_o do_v send_v out_o twenty_o musketeer_n under_o the_o command_n of_o a_o sergeant_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o prince_n rupert_n regiment_n who_o

they_o have_v no_o shelter_n from_o our_o shot_n and_o if_o our_o man_n have_v not_o be_v false_a they_o must_v needs_o have_v do_v great_a execution_n upon_o they_o but_o these_o pembrokeshire_n man_n although_o they_o fire_v very_o well_o do_v little_a or_o no_o execution_n on_o the_o enemy_n for_o they_o either_o shot_n over_o their_o head_n when_o they_o shoot_v bullet_n or_o else_o shoot_v nothing_o but_o powder_n as_o they_o themselves_o confess_v after_o the_o town_n be_v surrender_v upbraid_v divers_a protestant_a officer_n calling_z they_o papist_n and_o ask_v they_o whether_o they_o believe_v that_o they_o will_v fight_v against_o the_o parliament_n to_o defend_v papist_n rogue_n and_o yet_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o papist_n that_o be_v

conceive_v that_o the_o enemy_n may_v enter_v there_o think_v this_o part_n secure_a because_o it_o be_v so_o well_o mane_v have_v leave_v a_o reserve_n of_o horse_n and_o foot_n on_o that_o side_n of_o the_o water_n to_o be_v ready_a on_o all_o occasion_n to_o second_v those_o who_o guard_v the_o line_n and_o to_o prevent_v the_o enemy_n assault_n i_o ride_v with_o much_o haste_n round_o the_o

back_o the_o enemy_n to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o work_n where_o we_o can_v not_o charge_v they_o further_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o steepnesse_n of_o the_o bank_n where_o the_o enemy_n defend_v

i_o conceive_v it_o may_v most_o annoy_v the_o enemy_n and_o beat_v they_o

off_o from_o their_o cannon_n there_o be_v a_o blind_a make_v and_o no_o other_o security_n for_o their_o gunner_n which_o succeed_v according_o for_o hereby_o we_o not_o only_o beat_v they_o from_o that_o gun_n but_o also_o with_o this_o piece_n we_o batter_v master_n harvy_v house_n and_o drive_v the_o enemy_n thence_o which_o be_v a_o great_a safety_n unto_o we_o the_o enemy_n and_o we_o lie_v now_o only_o separate_v by_o the_o river_n they_o have_v house_n and_o mud_n wall_n on_o their_o side_n of_o the_o river_n as_o useful_a for_o the_o safety_n of_o their_o soldier_n as_o our_o work_n house_n and_o mud_n wall_n be_v unto_o we_o only_o their_o wall_n have_v thatch_n of_o straw_n for_o their_o cover_n which_o we_o fire_v and_o so_o make_v they_o too_o warm_a for_o they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o that_o day_n the_o river_n be_v fordable_a at_o low_a water_n for_o horse_n and_o foot_n to_o pass_v over_o i_o know_v not_o what_o apprehension_n the_o enemy_n have_v but_o that_o day_n about_o four_o of_o the_o clock_n in_o the_o afternoon_n they_o seem_v to_o quit_v eastover_n in_o some_o disorder_n and_o draw_v off_o their_o gun_n from_o their_o battery_n in_o castle_n feild_n and_o fire_v that_o part_n of_o the_o town_n they_o be_v possess_v off_o whereupon_o we_o sally_v and_o seize_v their_o cannon_n wherewith_o they_o batter_v the_o drawe-bridge_n and_o we_o take_v divers_a arm_n they_o have_v leave_v behind_o they_o and_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o town_n but_o want_v conveniency_n to_o draw_v off_o their_o cannon_n because_o we_o have_v barrowcadoe_v the_o bridge_n but_o within_o a_o short_a time_n the_o enemy_n return_v and_o place_v their_o guard_n again_o in_o eastover_n by_o this_o storm_n we_o have_v lose_v at_o least_o six_o hundred_o

beside_o we_o lose_v two_o iron_n gun_n some_o ammunition_n and_o provision_n notwithstanding_o this_o loss_n i_o so_o encourage_v those_o soldier_n i_o have_v leave_v tell_v they_o that_o now_o the_o

which_o be_v a_o great_a encouragement_n to_o my_o soldier_n be_v now_o confident_a that_o the_o enemy_n dare_v not_o attempt_v our_o work_n and_o that_o what_o they_o do_v the_o day_n before_o be_v
