London Printed for Marmaduke Boat Worthy Sir I Know you do much desire to hear from your friends especialy having left them in this distracted Kingdom yet it hath pleased God to blesse your friends with health and your Uncle mac Shane and your Coufen Dermot The 13 day of this Month the Earl of Ormond marched towards Munster with an Army of 7000. men which when Sir Phelim Oneal had intelligence marched towards him with an Army of 14000. men some ten miles beyond Limbrick where they had as famous a pitchs Battle as hath been since these troublesome times begun these Rebels and their forces continued for the space of two dayes untill Sir Patrick Weams and some other English Commanders with two pieces of Ordnance made an assault upon them the 16 day of this Month about two of the clock in the morning they not expecting any such thing which being so suddenly performed did so distract the Rebells that they all seemed to be men without life and speedily provided every one for himself by flight yet for all this their haste there were slain and wounded on the Rebells part to the number of 2000 men we losing but 40 or 50 at the most Thus we daily see by experience how mightily God doth fight for us To whom be praise and glory for evermore After the flight of these miserable people the whole spoil of the Camp was taken and a great part of it divided amongst the Souldiers to encourage them and the rest is kept for the relief of our men The Rebells have since assembled which when Sir Patrick Weams heard of did march towards them but could not cause them to stay nor durst they fight the fear which the last skirmish had stricken them into being still in them and the want of Arms and Powder which if they had they would soon be with us We want men and money extraordinarily for had not God blessed us with this little pillage to relieve our men we had been in a miserable condition but we hope and daily expect both from England which if a speedy course be not taken it will much endanger the losse of this Kingdom and the lives of many poor distressed Protestants for there is scarce an Irish Gentleman but is turned to the Rebells for they call themselves the holy Catholique Camp and do daily expect Supplies from some forraigne enemies Your friends hope to see you shortly your wife and children are all well and remember you daily in their prayers So till I see you and ever I shall remain your assured loving friend Darby Bargine From the Fort of Leas this 19 of June 1642. M. PYM BEfore these shall come to your hand I make no doubt but M. Nicbolls of the House of Commons hath made both Houses a Relation of what hath passed here since I received His Majesties Letters for the discharging me of the Command of the Fleet wherewith I was entrusted How I called a Councell of Warre and acquainted them with His Majesties Letters and likewise with the Ordinance of Parliament sent from the Houses for me to continue my Charge I confesse it was a great streight that I was put in between two Commands that have so much power over me But when I consider the great care which I have ever observed in the Parliaments of this Kingdom for the good and safety of the King and Kingdom and every mans particular in them And that they are that great Councell by whose Authority the Kings of England have ever spoken to their Subjects And likewise that the Trust of His Fleet for the defence of His Majesty and the Kingdoms was committed to me by them And knowing the integrity of my own heart to His Majesty and Parliament I resolved not to desert that Charge committed to my Trust wherein God blessed be his Name for it hath made me hitherto so successefull but to continue it untill I shall be revoked by that Authority that hath entrusted me with it Which having declared to my Captains at the Councell of Warre all of them unanimously and cheerfully took the same Resolution excepting five which was the Rere-Admirall Captain Fogge Captain Barley Captain Slings by and Captain Wake All which five refused to come upon my Summons as having no Authority over them and got together round that night to make their defence against me onely Captain Burley came in and submitted to me Whereupon in the morning I weighed my Anchors and caused the rest of my Ships so to do and came to an Anchor round about them and besieged them And when I had made all things ready I summoned them Sir John Mennes and Captain Fogge came in to me but Captain Slingsby and Captain Wake stood out Whereupon I let fly a Gunne over them and sent them word I had turned up the Glasse upon them if in that space they came not in they must look for for me ab●ord them I sent to them by my Boat and most of the Boats in the Fleet their answer was so peremptory that my Masters and Saylors grew so impatient on them That although they had no Arms in their Boats at all yet God gave them such Courage and Resolution as in a moment they entered them took hold on their Shrouds and seized upon these Captains being armed with their Pistolls and Swords and struck their Yards and top Masts and brought them both in to me The like Courage and Resolution was never seen amongst unarmed men so as all was ended without effusion of blood which I must attribute to the great God of heaven and earth onely who in the moment that I was ready to give fire on them put such courage into our men to act it and so saved much blood I hope the Parliament will think of some course for all our Indempnities and especially for the Officers of the Navy and principall for the Surveyor of the Navy my Vice-Admirall a very able and good man For my self I doubt not but they that put me in this employment will preserve me for serving them faithfully I pray you Sir be a means to Sir Robert Pye and M. Green that some money may be sent us for it hath been often promised but hear not of it The weather continuing stormy so long together that we spend our Masts and top Masts or some detriment or other falls upon us daily so that we are in great extremity for want of money Thus having nothing else to trouble you for the present onely that you will be pleased to acquaint your House of Commons with our proceedings here I bid you fare well and rest Your assured friend to serve you Warwick From aboard His Majesties Ship the James on the Downs this 4 of July 1642.
