Most deare Mother AFter my humble duty remembred c. I wrot to you the last weeke by a friend bound for London inclosed to my Brother Roger Cole and inclosed a Proclamation set forth by the Lords Justices and Councell here shewing the names of divers of the Capitall Rebels and what reward shall be given unto him that shall bring in the heads of them or kill them although they shall not be able to bring in their heads yet a different reward to be given the doers of it and since which time Sir Phelom O Neale and the Lords of the English Pale viz. the antient English Inhabiting divers Counties about Dublin bestowed on them by the Kings of England of whom I wrot the names in my former letters have made a Proclamation on their parts that whosoever shall bring unto them the head of the Earle of Ormond our Generall of Sir Charles Coote Sir Simon Harcourt and other Collonels and Captaines of ours shall have a very great reward and the fine of each is expressed in the Proclamation as yet they dare doe any thing for if we count the arme of the flesh to be strength they are neere 20 to one against us There is of them gon into the Province of Munster above 30000 men and some report they are compleat in Armes and the Commanders are the Lord Montgarret L. Dunboyne L. of Icharin L. Kihare L. Brittis and Lord of upper Ossery and some affirme that my Lord of Muzgrave is Generall they have driven the Lord President into Corke and 14 or 1500 men with him and have laid siege to Bandon-bridge Kingsale of which we have certaine newes but what mischiefe they have done to our English in all the Countrey there about we know not but doe grieve to thinke upon All the Province of Connaght is likewise in rebellion and Gallaway taken by them onely we understand that the Fort there is on our side but hour long they can subsist without provision we know not that is the most dangerous place in the Kingdom because it is a good Harbour and lyes open to Spaine and you know that spain hath ever bin a harbour of Rebels against England their Religion teacheth men so to be I wrot you formerly that if wee have not shipping in all the Ports of this Kingdome to prevent the comming in of Armes to the Rebels that all the ayd England can send will doe us little good for you may please to consider the difference betweene their Souldiers and ours setting their Commanders a part our men are for the most part poore men and weake in many respects for he that is of any great meanes and great breeding in England will not come over to be common Souldier here and those that are here they are many of them poore pilledg'd people the better sort are gon for the most part into England they are the most wise able and active men of this Kingdome and in battle they have a very great advantage against us for they commonly place themselves heare unto some great Bog and if they be put to the worse in 500 yards running they will get into the Bogs where no horse can come neare them neither are our foot skilfull to follow them if it were possible there to compassd them in it were to the purpose but to meet with them on the other side of the Bog it may be will cost our men as in many places 20 or 30 miles march and by that time they will be far from our Army The Rebellion is so generall and their men so many that if our Army here which with my Lord Lieut. Regiment now landed and the 4 or 500 horse now come as is reported will make hardly 8000 men 1000 whereof are Inhabitants and most of them householders Marchants and Tradesmen of this City and their servants who may not leave this Citty without great danger I have two servants in the Kings pay and I stand with my owne Armes upon any service that shall be required and will God willing adventure my hearts blood for the cause in hand I say if our Army here should adventure farre into the Countrey against them one way they will escape our Army many wayes and come upon Dublin which would indanger the losse of the whole Kingdome for all depends upon this place For although wee have no intelligence out of the North whereby to write you of it yet you may please to conceive that where the Rebellion began they will make sure something for themselves I thinke there are none but Scots Inhabitants very few English left to oppose them wee have no certaine intelligence thence of the landing of any out of Scotland but what we heare out of England I wrot you of the going away of shipping from hence with provision for to relieve our Souldiers in Tredath or Droghedath and was in hope that they had got in safe but On Saturday we understood that they were not then gotten in that the Rebels had sunck many boats and chained them together and that Captaine Bartlet of the Kings Pinasse intended to try the breaking of the chaine or if the spring-tyde would bring water enough to carry them over the chaine and that Captaine Bartlet had taken one vessell loaden with Herrings and sunck another being come from Wexford thither with provision for the Rebels I trust to heare good newes from thence We heare that there are two Priests at Nantz in France buying of Powder and Armes for the Rebels I am much affraid that this South wind hath brought them in unto VVexford for that Towne is in their owne custody I cannot heare whether Youghall and Dungarven be taken by them or not but they have a very great Army gon that way we are here in a very bad case for want of mony and we have had good hope to have had store out of England this wind but there is not mony to pay the Souldiers that are now come over We have great joy for the blessed agreement betweene the King and the Parliament God who is the Author of peace and Unity keepe the divell and his instruments the sower of sedition and his children from disturbing the same that the King may be happy God glorified his Religion established
