London Printed for Joseph Hunscott 1642. Kinsale the 16 29 of Septemb. 1642. Brother BENJAMIN WHE●●●●E MY last w●●● 〈◊〉 and 26 past which we●●●●ry sad and therfore make no repeatail only a touch of the necessity of the Fort of Doncannon if it be not speedily releived The Rebels are in great numbers continually round about it questionles do thirst much after it Waxford have set forth 5 or 6 men of War one of them carrieth 18 Pieces of Ordnance and it is reported they have lately taken 5 or 6 English Barques so that all those parts Duncannon excepted is as secure unto them as the River and County of Limbrick It were good service for some of our Ships to destroy the Herring fishing of Waxford and Rilbeggs I will now with much joy and thankfullnesse of heart relate to Gods glory the great and wonderful work he hath lately done among us The last day of August came the Lord Inchequeens command to our Governour requiring him to send away all the Force he could possibly make foot and horse and that he should rise and march away presently the like was done in Youghall and Bandonbirdge the first present they marched from hence the second they all met at their Randevouz neer about Donnerayle and the third day for ever to be remembered very timely they marched to Liscarrell Castle which Muscry the day before had taken and was then there with h●● f●rces encamped about 8000 fighting men 〈◊〉 and seven hundred horse the best of the 〈◊〉 Province our forces not passing seventeen hundred horse and foot the Enemy were full fed ours had scarce bread in their Knapsacks their 's healthy strong and lusty ours for the most part weak and sick not able to endure the weight of a Musquet and for certain many upon the march had perished in the ditches had not some of our horsemen taken them up behind them and carried them to the place where they must make a stand The Enemy had the Castle of Liscarrell to friend three pieces of Ordnance whereof one of them weighed neer 8000. weight mounted in a convenient Battery half Moons and Breast-works drawn with much ingenuity on the other side a very great Bogg to secure them in sine they had so far what they desired and to naturall reason what nature could afford ours for the most part a naked People The Onset was given by a few horse of this Town and Bandon and a little too timely they had not any of them so much as a head-piece onely my Lord of Kinealmakie that was cloathed with Armour of proof were enforced to retreat in which my Lord onely was shot and not a man of the rest touched It was Gods great mercy that this so timely Onset had not wrought untimely effects by encouraging the Enemy and disheartning of us But our mayne Body coming up and so well ordered the horse led by my Lord of Inchequeen and the foot by Sir Charls Vavasour who went in the head of them and with good language and reasons did so encourage them as every man cryed Victory before they had given fire Captain Chidley behaved himselt with singular valour and discretion Sergeant Major Story is much honoured for his valiant Actions The Lord Inchequeen was once far engaged and in some danger but relieved by Captain Gibson and at that time slew one of their great Champions called Oliver Steevens with his owne hand The Onset being given by our Horse and the Battell began by the Muskettiers being in number about 400 continued for a time somthing doubtfull the Irish making hideous noyses and stood to it very valiantly their Ordnance at first stroke a terrour but God so directed the businesse that they went over and did us no harm our sick were recovered felt no more weaknesse nor infirmity but stood to it like brave men God gave them hearts according to the goodnesse of their cause and after an hour and a half or thereabouts the Friers and the Priests faith failed them that they ran away Generall Barry was easily perswaded to go with them the Lord of Muscry took his leave with a plain Complement That he had done what he could and did hope another time to have better successe it is imagined he had received a shot abundance of the prime Gentlemen were slain upon the place the rest fled and according to their wonted custome betook themselves to Woods and Bogs our Horse pursued them as far as it was convenient Two hundred that were in the Castle and might have kept out 5000 ran with the rest the like did those that were with the Ordnance in the Battery Colonell Butler and divers other Commanders taken prisoners Of the Rebells were slain at least 700 and above a thousand more dangerously wounded Our people brought away five or six hundred Muskets three Pieces of Brasse Ordnance which were taken out of the Castle of Lymbricke five Barrells of Powder it is thought the Friers carryed the rest of the Powder with them the Fields were covered with Pikes which our people regarded not Captain Cooper with a Company of men was appointed to keep the Castle and the three Pieces of Ordnance brought to Mallow supposed they shall be brought to Cork This was the great work of the Almighty for of our side were not passing four or five men slain and five or six wounded which in short time may recover Colonell Butler that was taken prisoner confesseth that they knew of our coming to them at least 24 hours before which was almost as soon as the businesse was conceived And that they made nothing of us his comparison was no more then if ten men armed compleatly should encounter with two naked horse-boyes And that their intent was from this Castle to have gone to Donnerayle and Mallowe which in their conceits would scarce have hindred them an hours march From thence to Cork and Bandon and from this place to have diiven us all into the Sea And indeed as the case stood wi h us what they intended might have been easily brought to passe what by the desease amongst our souldiers want of pay and cloaths the difference that was grown in Bandon between the Lord of Kinelmeakie and the Inhabitants and to naturall reason our going thither with such a handfull of weake men to give them Battle so many in number so well Armed and so strongly scituated had been to abandon our Garrisons and to hasten our own destruction But as I have
