flying to force their way Sir Richard keeping upon reserve 250 Muskettiers which three last Divisions being come at push of Pike with the Rebells that defended that Passe and Sir Michael Earnly espying the advance of the Longford men on our left hand marched towards them and then presently received a Charge by the Horse that Captain Brian commanded which by our Shot was repulsed and Brian himself shot dead and that gave a stop to the Longford men In the Interim of this Conflict many of the Forces from off the Castle were running speedily to charge our right Wing of Shot which Sir Richard repulsed by sending amongst them more Shot from out of his last reserve Which sudden fury being stopt and the service continuing violent on all sides for two hours time with a doubtfull successe Sir Richard sent forth all the remainder of the Foot to assist those at the Passe during which Skirmish Lievtenant Rogers did at severall times very earnestly desire Sir Richard to give him leave to attempt to force a way thorow that Passe with the Horse that he commanded whereto at last Sir Richard gave him leave and wisht him good speed whereat he willingly departed and hasted to finde his way And being come at the Banck and ditch of the Passe found no possible means there of getting thorow whereat Major Morris called unto Lievtenant Rogers saying He had found a place for his Horse to passe thorow then that Troop hasted unto it which Edward Roscarrocke of the said Troop first rid thorow the Lievtenant and the rest of the Troop clos●ly followed and being gotten over the forlorn hope Troop led by Cornet Dixsay followed them and then presently did those our Ho●se charge the enemies Horse that were before them who being not willing to receive them begin all to run away in the

slain many others of the said Troop At the same time Cornet Dixsay commanding the forlorn hope pursued another Horse Troop killed many of them and found the dead body of Captain Bryan who was lately fled from Sir Thomas Lucas Troop whose head was there cut off and brought away by Cornet Dixsay our Foot having been at least two hours before at handy blows and throwing stones with the enemy our men with one accord cheerfully came on upon those that manned the Trenches which made them also resolutely run away which sudden change drew after them all the rest of Our Forces and being possest of their works and hill Sir Richard gave charge unto Sir Iohn Sherlock That he with all convenient speed should draw and keep together his men in good order upon that ground and furnish all his men with Munition while he himself with the Horse pursued the Longford men flying away and then presently did Sir Richard Captain Vaughan and Lievtenant Rogers with about 40 or 50 Horse pursue them wherein it chanced That Captain Vaughan with a part of those Horse taking another way was guided by Noble Sir Charles Co●t that wayward that the enemy was escaped and at last overtook the great●st part of them and there killed as by them all is believed at least 200 of them so that we verily believe there were killed in all nigh 250 During which pursuit our Foot remaining about the enemies Castle searching
