THE TRVE Copie of a Letter sent from the Lord of DVNGARVAN sonne to the Earle of Corke to Sir Arthur Magennis a worthy Knight in ENGLAND SIR I Would have made you acquainted with the troubles which daily increase more and more to our great sorrow the distressed estate of our County of Corke is grievous to expresse but opportunity hath not so well fitted as to give you a more timely relation thereof The rebels have so farre encroached into the body of our County that they are become Masters of the most part thereof divers Lords being newly revolted to them Amongst the rest the Lord ANTRIM within the Province of Munster about a fortnight agone is revolted with many souldiers that were under his command and have committed great slaughters on the Protestants with extreame cruelty and inhumane massacres yet have they beene valiantly resisted by Sir Simon Harcourt and his Forces who hath proved himselfe a stout souldier and faithfull subiect to the King of England and hath taken from the Rebels divers Forts and Castles and keepes the same well manned with good Garrisons Our Armie set forwards towards the Rebels to give them an incounter on Wednesday last was a seven-night but they hearing thereof withdrew themselves to the confines of our County where they have mustred their Army and raised it there to twentie thousand which being perceived wee desired to ioyne with Sir Simon Harcourt and the Scots in those parts which they accepted and marching towards the Rebels they tooke the Field where was a battell fought between us where God bee praised wee lost but one hundred men whereof our greatest losse was the Lord Fawklands brother and the adverse party lost above three thousand five hundred as wee conceived upon which they drew backe to their Trenches the skirmish holding some eight houres our force being not so strong as we wished we were enforced to retire to strengthen our army in which time the Rebells replenished and augmented theirs but we failed in our expectation for many of our souldiers sides with the Rebells revolted from our command by which means we were so weakened that we could not again take the field without apparent danger of the losse of our whole army the Rebells being six to one upon which we were enforced to retire to a town near adiacent in which was a good castle fortifying the same aswell as we could for our securitie there intending to stay till we have aid from England or Scotland which we daily write for and without which not onely this County but even the whole kingdome of Ireland is without all hope utterly lost many Bishops are also revolted Aid is daily sent from forram parts so that they are encreased to that strength that they are able to bring 50000 fighting men in the field They have put hard for Corke and have entrenched themselves neer Dublin divers great personages in that Citie have also revolted they have set forth proclamations declaring they take arms for their King and are the Queens army for a toleration of their Religion and for the defence of the lawes of that land so farre as they serve their desires and wills I therefore conceive that perpetuall warre is to be expected in Ireland till they are fully vanquished and subdued and not then free from Mutinies and Insurrections Except all Papists be banished that Land and the Kingdome inhabited with nations in subiection to the King of England as are Protestants Wee expected aid from England both of Men Ammunition and money before this time but the distractions and divisions in that Kingdome wee conceive hath hindered their proceedings in their intentions therein Here are 3000. Scots arived of which we are right glad and we expect assistance from Denmark which when we have and also from England I make no doubt but by the blessing of God Ireland will againe be reduced to their due subiection to the Crowne of England which is all the news opportunitie will give me leave to write at this time DVNGARVAN Ianuary 30. 1641. The strength and preparation for Ireland by the assent of both Houses of Parliament THE Parliament being touched with their wonted lenity and commiseration of the afflicted and premeditating the distressed estate of our poor Brethren in Ireland by their receiving daily intelligence of the bloody Massacrees and inhumane butcheries daily committed by the Rebells seriously considering that without some speedy ayde and reliefe that whole Kingdome would be in danger of loosing the Rebells therein having already dirogated nay almost usurped his Maiesties Prerogative slaine and put to the sword his Maiesties most true and loyall Subiects of the Protestant Religion confiscated their estates and what not that might availe to the ruinating of a State They have provided in their defence and the repulsings of the rebellious enemie 36. Ships loaden with men ammunition and victualls who are now ready for Transportation at Westchester 18 of the said Ships being his Maiesties to guard the narrow seas so that by these and such like preparation it is expected our friends shall be strengthened and our foes defeated in their pernitious designes FINIS
