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 closely 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

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 Dixsey 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 John Sherlocke That he with all convement 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

drawn into their quarters Sir Richard caused a Minister in the head of all the Troops publikely to give God thanks every man kneeling for the victory publikely saying That it was the work onely of God and not of men which every man seemed thankfully to acknowledge This night we understood there was slain in the fight Colonell Patrick Plunckot Captain Bryan and Sir Thomas Nugents onely sonne and

Lake That night Sir Richard Greenvile in giving out his orders for the watch gave out for that nights watch-word the word Revenge and also for the field the word Justice which was correspondent to Gods blessing in the Victory Wednesday the 8 we lodged at Masistowne Thursday the 9 all forces quartered about Tryme from whence they marched the next day into their former Garrisons My dear Brother We are at length come out if our miserable imprisonment where the sufferings of our Ears and Eyes Did not a little adde to what we also felt in a great proportion by seeing and hearing the miserall Spectacles and sad cryes of our distressed poor Souldiers God be thanked All that were left of us are come hither in much safety and by a course much better then if we had not incountred with such difficulties For when we were come a mile on this side Mullingar at Reconnell where the enemy had made himself very strong in good works They there being 6000 foot and 10 or 12 Troops kept the passage against our men whose number were not above a thousand foot besides my Lord Presidents men be brought from Connaught with them and whose good fortune it was to have the Van and give the defeat Herein Colonell Greenvill hath behaved himself very well We have killed of the enemy 500 on the place amongst whom is the great Commander Plunker and another Colonell We have taken Prestons Sonne who was also a Colonell Prisoner and Bryan that was sent from you hither and proved Appostate hath lost his head in the skirmish We have many Captains and other inferiour Officers Prisoners also have brought home nine Ensignes If it is be prosecuted effectually as I hope it will The power and courage of that Rebellious breed must be exceedingly lessened But alas Brother our extremities for want of victuall is beyond Imagination And if present remedy be not provided effectually all the Officers will over to the King quit the Kingdom and the whole Design must be lost Now we are through the concurrance of most evident manifestations of Gods goodnesse in a probable way of reducing these mis-creants for ever but if we are lost as we must be by pretermitting this present supply ten times over the expence If both bloud and Treasure which will now in appearance finish the work will not then put us in the State we are now possest off You cannot imagine to what heights all sorts of people are come unto being made desperate by the sufferings they have undergone and little hopes of being relieved as bad as things goe My Lord Lisle with Colonell Monck and Cromwell having 1500 foot and 300 horse some great and field Peeces Bend their course towards Athy which will induce Preston either to fight with them or quit Kilkenny At the same time my Lord More and Titchbourn intend to go forth with all their forces to East and West Meath and Cavan God send us his countenance and favour whilst we are in such neglects from man The King hath sent expresse order That your honest Committees shall not be admitted to the Counsell Table as formerly and I fear they intend to go hence immediately God knows what inconveniency will arise by their coming away though I must confesse They have but poor incouragement to stay We bear you have had good successe lately in Killultagh and at Enneskellen but withall That your want of Victuall is like to put a soon end unto all controversies I am sure you hear from thence more particularly then we can When you represent your own necessities fail not to remember ours and God put you into the Posture to minister help unto us otherwise let 's know immediately That we may not dye in a ditch and starve which is the condition threatning us all I shall be more particular in my next if God continue us a being but now can adde no more onely my most humble Service to my deer Sister and that I am Your faithfull Servant and affectionate Brother John Chicester Dublin the 14 of Feb. 1642. I forgot to tell you that Captain Vaughan who brought this news was Knighted by the Justices upon the report of it And that my Lord hath left sufficient strength in the Castles of Athlone Rosconian and the Boil of the old Souldiers who so long as their victuall can last will certainly give a good accompt of those strengths For Sir John Clotworthy Knight in Castle-yard in Holborne FINIS
