Munday August the ninth Colonell Jones called a Councell of War and commanded Colonell Fenwick Governour of Trim to place Garisons in Dennigan and Kilbrue That day the Army marched to Maynouth a strong Castle belonging to the Earl of Kildare which was summoned and surrendred by the Rebels and by us garrisoned After this Victory the Enemy quit and burnt divers of their Garrisons viz. the Naas Piggingstown Harristowne Collanstown Castle-Warding and Moyglare and much more had been gained of them had there been pay and provision for the Armie whereby the Victory had been prosecuted But in the want of both they were inforced to take homewards unexpectedly August 10. Tuesday the tenth Colonel Jones dismissed the Northern Forces that had joyned with him engaging himself for their satisfaction assoon as Treasure should come over He also dismissed to their several Garisons the Forces of Droghedah Dundalk Newry and Carlingford commanding Sir Henry Titchburne in his return to summon the Nobber and other places neer Droghedah possessed by the Rebels promising if occasion required and that provision could be made for the Army to advance with his Strength to their assistance That day the rest of the Army marched to Dublin where wanting what might content our hungry and wearied Souldiers by the providence of God as our Army was ready to enter the Citie they were met with news of 1500 l. brought by Captain Rich into the Harbour borrowed by Alderman Walley therein much meriting of the Publike This small sum though otherwise very inconsiderable was yet something in the present distresse and is to be valued as an earnest of the Lords care of his people to whom he will in his good time appear in a full deliverance There was little considerable pillage gained from the Enemy in this Victory That of best value was the Artillery and Oxen which at last Colonel Jones purchased for the publike use from those hands whereinto they fell unto whom he standeth engaged for satisfaction As for pillage of greater value little was found howsoever some have been pleased to speak of it largely and ridiculously and if any thing had been in that kinde gained more then ordinary it could not be imagined it should be of publick advantage coming in and that of due into private hands This was the most signall Victory with greatest losse to the Rebels that ever was gained in Ireland since the first Conquest thereof by the English For which the Lord make us truly thankfull Matt.
