A TRVE RELATION OF THE PRESENT ESTATE OF IRELAND In a Letter written from one Master Peters in Dublin to one Sir Robert Iones a Knight resident in the Citie of LONDON which came to him the 17. of February Anno Dom. 1642. As also their flight from thence upon the comming of Captaine Pollard and some Scotch Regiments against them with the losse of the Towne and all their Ammunition to our English forces By R.P. London printed for W. Wright 1642. A true Relation of the present estate of IRELAND Noble Sir WE here rejoyce much at the care and endeavours of the High Court of Parliament in that Kingdome to send us timely ayde and assistance of men money and ammunition against the Rebels by whom otherwise this Citie had beene ere this time made a prey The last forces that came over did us great pleasure We have also here landed forces from Scotland under the command of that valiant Souldier Generall Lesley by whom likewise wee have beene much strengthned and encourageed to defend our Citie and persons families and estates which are begirt and besieged with at least 50000 Rebels who have received ayde and reliefe from France and other parts that much encourageth them Yet are they not so terrible to us or doe we so much feare them as the treacherous designes privatly practised by Papists and their adherents inhabiting in the City which dare to be so presumptuous as to wish publiquely prosperity to the Rebels and speak in great favour of their cause which causeth in us just suspition of their evill intentions confirmed also by the open speeches of the Rebels who have said that if the Citie were not the sooner yeelded up to them they hoped to finde friends in the same that would set the same on fire Also the daily revolting of Souldiers to the Rebels which come from England who outwardly pretend faire but when imployed in service against them they revolt to them which puts us in great feare who to trust in that imployment Therefore our hearty desires are that the Parliament would be pleased to send over as neare as they can both such Commanders and Souldiers as are good Protestants and altogether disaffected to the Romish Religion and that none may be sent over that have any kindred or alliances Papist Rebels fearing their taking part with the Rebels rather then against them for the rebellion yet daily so increaseth that the Kingdom is yet in great danger of utter destruction if God in mercy prevent it not with sudden ayde and assistance The Provinces of Lemster and Vlster are altogether in subjection to the Rebels of whom Sir Philemon Oneale is Generall who hath lately constituted Colonell Richard Planquet Lieutenant Generall of Lemster and most of the North parts of this Kingdome are in their subjection Master Francis Moore of late hath done valiant Acts in assaulting divers of the Rebels and taking of the grand Traytor Art Roe Mac Mahon at a Crete or Cottage neare Drogheda whereof the Right Honourable Charles Lord Moore is Vicount Yet neverthelesse that many overthrowes have beene given the Rebels in divers places of this Kingdome as well in the Provinces of Corke and Munster as Lemster Vlster and Dublin yet doe they increase in strength and doe great dammage and harme in all Countries where they have got head with savage and inhumane cruelties that the most barbarous nations in the world I beleeve have not done the like God grant an end to their cruelties for Sion sake and his Gospell and true Religion sake that these wicked enemies thereof not scarce deserving the name of humane creatures may no more triumph over the Saints and servants of God and glory in their own wickednesse We hear newes that the Pope hath sent to divers Princes as Spaine and France to take Armes to defend their Religion in assisting the Catholique Rebels in Ireland by invading the Kingdom with a powerfull Army or to invade England thereby to hinder the King and Parliament from sending any more aid hither but that all their endeavours may be taken up to defend themselves and that Kingdom the Pope also as credibly reported hath sent over a generall pardon for all that take Armes in defence of Popery and have sent to their Generall Philemon Oneale a Banner displayed importing their quarrell is onely in defence of the Religion of the Pope and Saint Peter and hath sent him many presents of his favour to animate and encourage him to proceed in his intended enterprises and promised that nothing in his power lay should be wanting towards their assistance and encouragements There was a battel also fought about a week agone between the Scots English and the Rebels in the Province of Dublin which was fierce and cruell the Rebels defending themselves valiantly a long time but at last was vanquished by the English and Scots there being about eight thousand of the Rebels slain and many taken Prisoners there being onely one thousand of English and Scots together slain this battell held almost two dayes the chief Commanders of the English was the Lord Dungarvan Sir Simon Harcoud Sir William Cootes and of the Scots Generall Lesley c. Another such overthrow will much weaken the strength of the Rebels which we daily pray God would in his good time altogether subdue and overthrow to their utter confusion or turne their hearts to do that which is right and give them a sight of their errours and disperate opinions in their false idolatrous and superstitious worshipping of God in their blinde and ignorant Religion and thus much at this time to certifie you of our present condition As also their flight from thence upon the comming of Captaine Pollard and some Scotch regiments against them with the losse of the Towne and all the ammunition to our English forces Upon the 10. of February Anno Dom. 1642. the Rebels having lately apprehended some eighteene Protestants in the Towne of Oggersney in the County of Munster carried them before the Lord Corton who was chosen Lieutenant Generall of their Horse to be examined as concerning their Religion which they boldly averred to be the Protestant faith in which they resolved to live and die whereupon they were forthwith committed to prison where they lay in a dungeon enduring great misery through the abuse of the souldiery that delighted in nothing more than in tormenting them the principall of all these Protestants was Sir Edward Pellam who had a son in law being a Recusant eldest Captain of a horse-troop in the regiment belonging to the Lord Autrim who very earnestly desired of the Lord Corton Oneale and the residue of Councell of war sitting about that occasion that he might stand as baile for his fathers appearance moving it with such zeal and earnest affection towards his father that he had almost obtained his request untill that one Dennis Carley Serjeant Major to the said Regiment and Captain Carley his nephew with divers other enemies to the Protestants perswaded the contrary alleaging that being an enemy to their Religion and present proceeding it might be a meanes to his escape and the other his son who pleaded for him likewise who shewed very little affection to the Church of Rome to plead so much for a hereticke though he had been his owne father therefore they desired that he might likewise be examined unlesse he might be one of their confederacy which they did but nothing being found wherein that to condemne him nevertheless he was sentenced to be committed to close prison which the souldiers understanding of whom he was very much beloved and considering the injustice of the cause came with one consent upon the Councell of war and per fas aut nefas delivered him withall falling into such an abrupt mutiny being instigated and egged forward by Captain Bolte whom they had freed who was eager of revenge on his enemies that they desperately hurt Oneale slew both the Carleyes Captain Sartwell and Captain King their companions and three hundred souldiers he in the mean time getting through the presse gave intelligence to Captain Pollard commanding a company of Scots who with others came to the Town upon the intelligence of whose approach the Rebels fled notwithstanding they spared not to vent their spleen upon the poor Protestants whom they massacred and cut all to pieces leaving in the Town through haste and fear of being overtaken the most part of their Armes three small field-pieces with their carriages ten wagons with ammunition as also the trace horses to draw them which proved the spoile to the Scotish Protestants Dublin 17. 1642.
