Longford Generall Owen Mac Art O Neale noâ— being then come to Granard the fiâ—st randezvouz the Earle getting intelligence of our approach did the very night before retire with his whole forces out of that Countrey and câ—ossed the river of the Evey into Weast-meath to a strong hould called Partlester where the Lord Moore was killed the last yeareâ— And left all the passes upon the river well manned bridges and Câ—stâ—es being at each passe and did write to generall Owâ—n O Neale to meete him with all expedition with all his forces and as we were then informed their next randâ—zâ—ouz was to have been at Kells in East-meath We having rested at Granard upon the Sabbath day being the 7. of Iuly we sent out and burnt the Townes of Bâ—llynlie and Longford where the rebells had quartered and all the Castles that were of any availe to themâ— all which they wholy deserted not one man staying within the Countrey except such as hid themselves in Ilands At one of the chiefest of the passes upon the Evey water is the bridge of Fyna where the Earle of Weast-meaths Castle is at the end of it about two miles from Granard There the Earle of Castle-Heavâ—n had put 200 musqueteers and three troops of horse whereof his owne lifegard was one It hapened that Major Royden with seven English Troops were quartered neere unto that place who orderly seting out his gards and scouts got the Alarm severall times given him by the rebells horse from the Castle upon the Sunday who when the rest horsed and strengthened their guards did still retire to the Castle At last about 12 of the Clock Major Royden expecting that they would stand and skirmish drew to them with his Troopes but they retired yet espying 5 or 6 of their horsemen riding to the top of a hill about halfe a mile from the Castle whereupon he sent out Captaine Brauff with six well horsd men who endeavored to gâ—â— betwixt them the Castle which the rebells perceiving rod hard and being neerer gained the passe and stopped Then one of them tearming himselfe a Captaine called to our men to know if there werâ— ever a Captaine amoâ—gst them who durst change a paire of bullets with him Captaine Bruff with his men seeming to retire slowly the enemy followed him out whereupon he upon a sudden whel'd about with his men and charged them and having discharged their Carbines the rogues tooke the flight Captaine Bruffe charged home neer to the passe the chief man of them he run him quite threw the body with his rapier and killed him and so retired himselfe and his men without hurt and had no more alarms that night The next morning Sir William Stewarts Troop Sir William Coles and Sir Robert Stewarts had the Van and marched before the Army three Troopes of the rebells horse came out and skermished with their Troopes and scouts and had foure Troopes more in readinesse to second them for upon the Sunday at night late Colonell Iohn Buttler the Lord Montgarats uncle who iâ— Colonell of 800 horses raised by the rebells out of the three Provinces of Lemster Munster and Conaught came to Fyna with foure of their best Troops whereof Owen Mac Arts lifegard was one the rebâ—lls horse following our scouts close up to their body our three Troops being all Landfirs did resolutely charge them though the enemies horse were far more in number and much better horsed and armed yet after the first salue they tooke a flying retreate the rest of their horse came out to second them but the first were so charged home by our horse who were pell mell amongst them that all of them were put to confusion and tooke the retreate in disorder They had also layd an ambuish of musqueteers for our men but seeiâ—g all their owne horse retired in such disorder tooke their flight also And our men charged their horsemen to the very bridge and kild some of them upon the bridge notwithstanding that the musqueteers were playing both from the Castle and from ditches neere the Castle and Bridge upon them yet by Gods favour retired having onely three men killed whereof two were a Corporall and a Trooper of Sir Stewarts and the Lieutenant of Sir William Coles Troope called Graham who having charged over the Bridge in the oâ— iâ— of the rebells was killed at the Castle gate one Fulerton a vâ—â—iant Souldier a Corporall of Sir William Stewarts Troope was huâ—t and after dyed of the wound and two or three more hurt The rebeâ—lâ— finding that they had received so resolute a charge and rout from sâ—â—ew of our Troopes whom they before dispised glorying â—bâ—ve meaâ—ure in their owne Troopes â—s in deed they might for hâ—rses and armes if God did not fight on our side seeing our Army beâ—ding that way God tooke their hearts from them and they straight forsooke both the Bridge and Castle with all their horse and foote which their two hundered musqueteers might have kept against 20000 longer then our Victualls would have permitted our stay so the Foote having fled thorough a Bogge towards a Wood and the Horse towards Kells with all their speede the Bâ—idge and House was fiâ—st taken up by some of our horsemen whilest the Foote weâ—e marching towards it which after taking was burnt and a number of their Houses about it The rebells lost at the passe about a dozen of their best men that were left neere amongst which were two Captaines that were knowne and a third Captaine was taken prisoner many others were hurt and kâ—l'd whom they carried off And some of them were buried the same day at a Church some six miles from thence as wee got intelligence by other prisoners which wee tooke afterward From thence the same day wâ—e marched towards Kâ—lls whether wee heard the next Randâ—zouz betweene the Earle of Castle-Haven and Owen Mac Art was appointed there wee arrived the next day but Owen Mac Art who removed from thence before to Port-Leister to the Earle of Castle-Haven trusting more to the strength and advantage of that hold then to their Army or cause And it is like enough that if we could have gone thether also they would have retired further from us but that being the 14 day from the time that we set out we had not mâ—â—le for six dayes to bring them home So having burned that Towne and likewise sent out a partie of Horse who burnt the Towne of the Navau also and 47 good Castles more in the County of Longford and Westmeâ—â—h want of victuals forced us to retreate homewards anâ— to march as farre in two dayes as we did in 3 before From Kells the 10 of Iuly we came to Ardye where Owen Mac Art lay with his army Creâ—ts before he went to Kells that towne with divers of the rest had bin formerly burnt by the English Army in the beginning of the Rebellion but began to be rebuilt by the Irish This we also burnt all the
