In which order wee advanced towards the Rebels till by the interposition of a hedge and hollow way some of the Troops were forced to goe about and then drew up again in the same order on the otherside of the Hedge within almost Musket shot of the Rebels Then were sent out parties of Fire-locks and Musquetiers to begin the fight After they had given fire for a good space upon the Rebels and the Rebels upon them Sir Thomas Lucas with all the Troopes on the left wing viz. his owne Troope Captaine Armestrong's and the Earle of Ormond's which last was commanded by Sir Patrick Wymes and were led by Sir Thomas Lucas the other division followed wherein were Sir George Wentworths commanded by Captain Harman Sir Charles Coot's by Lievtenant Devalier and the Lord Lievtenant's by Captaine Yarner who commanded that Division marched up in order towards two bodies of the Rebels consisting of three thousand with a Troope of Horse on each Wing of the Rebels Divisions they in the meane time giving fire in his face and the other two bodies that were on their right Wing consisting of foure thousand doing the like in his left Flancke when hee was gotten within lesse then Carbin shot of them divers of our Horse and Men that were within being hurt he hastened and charged them upon a good round Trot and in the end routed them and forced them to betake themselves to flight towards a Bog they leaving behind them divers of their Colours and Armes Sir Richard Greenvile then with three Troopes viz. The Lord Lisle's commanded by Captaine Tr●swell his owne Troope and Captaine Schout's charged the left wing of the Rebels Horse who were routed also and betooke themselves to flight as the others had done During all which time our Foote gallantly advancing gave fire incessantly upon the Rebels our Horse then followed the execution bravely And then also our foot still continued to give fire upon those routed men which they did exceedingly well untill by the mingling of our men with theirs in the pursuit it became necessary for the preservation of our own men so mingled with the Rebels to forbeare And therefore the Lieutenant Generall commanded them to forbeare which then and not before they did accordingly In all that time the body of 4000. of the Rebels which was the right wing of their Army stood fast and moved not In which wing the Lord Mount Garret and Collonel Hugh Birne and divers others of the principall Rebels were as was told us by some Prisoners taken in the fight Against that body the Lieutenant Generall with his Troope of Voluntiers and Sir John Shirlock Lieutenant Collonel of the Lord Lamberts Regiment with a division of 300. foot advanced and sent out sixtie Musquetiers who gave fire upon the Rebels and the Rebels on them and on the Lieutenant Generall with the Voluntiers But in conclusion that body which of all the Rebels had the confidence to stand longest having seene all the residue of their Army routed and the execution so sharply followed they began to breake but being by their Officers rallied againe they gave fire againe on the Lieutenant Generall and those 300. foot of ours who returned backe to the Rebels such volleys of shot as gave them little comfort to stand longer but they chose rather to betake them●elves to flight yet disguising it by a seeming Retreate vntill they got to the top of a Hill neere them and then they began to run with all speed possible to save their lives to a bogge not farre from thence whither all the rest of the Rebels formerly Routed had betaken themselves and where their Horsemen had run their Horses into the Bogges an there for looke them and betooke them to their heeles and thither they were pursued most fiercely by our horse and foot who were so forward and fierce in following the execution as the Lieutenant Generall had much difficulty to keepe them from following even into the Bogge and no lesse difficulty to get them to retreate so earnestly did they all desire to have the killing of more of the Rebels But in the end they were perswaded to retreate And then the Lieutenant Generall assembling the Army commanded them to prayer● And his Lordship as did also all the rest gave God publicke thankes for that Victory which God in mercy had given us against those Rebels whose numbers did as farre exceed ours as our men did theirs in judgement vallour and resolution In that Battell were slaine of the Rebels above 700. and amongst them many Collonels and Captaines and Men of qualitie and about 20. of our men were slaine and about 40. hurt some of whom have died since Nor may it be omitted to doe the Lieutenant Generall that right which is due to him in this important service that he did in his owne person order the Battell and manner of fight in all the parts of it and did it with very great judgement layd hold quickly and seasonably on all opportunities of advantage that could be gained and spared not resolutely to expose his own person to hazard equally with any other Commander Sir Thomas Lucas manifested great courage and very judicious Conduct and the Officers led by him gave good Testimonies of alacrity and undaunted resolution As also did Sir Charles Coote Collonel Crauford Collonel Monck Lievtenant Collonel Lofius Serjeant Major Warren Serjeant Major Pageat Serjeant Major Willoughby that led on the Foot And likewise Sir Richard Greenvile that Commanded the right wing of the Horse and the Officers under his command and indeed all the Officers and even the common Souldiers acquitted themselves exceedingly well and commendably Die Lunae 20 Maij 1642.
