London Printed for Hen Overton and Edward Blackmore Aprill the 12. 1643. Dublin the 5●h of Aprill 1643 LOVING BROTHER I Wrote you at large by the last Post of the happy successe and safe returne of our Armie but because the times are dangerous both by Sea and Land and our Letters like to miscarry on both and because I would not have Gods mercies and power shewen for our defence and confusion of our adversaries to be cast into oblivion I shall give you a briefe rehearsall thereof at this time as neere as I can remember and what I might then happily omit I shall give you now to undestand In my former Letters I wrote of all the passages that were in their going forth from the first of March to the eighth so far as Ballenepark in the Countie of Wexford 15. miles from the Town of Wexford as we received Intelligence on the returne of the Earle of Roscommon From Ballenepark they set forward the 9. towards Rosse and the horse came to Rosse going before the foote the 10. of March at which time if the whole Army had been there they had taken the Town but the enemy being abroad in the field hindred that part of our foote that was to accompany our horse in their journey and forct them to retreat toward the Body of our Armie the horse having left them and gone before so that our horse also made backe againe In the meane time they shat their gates and got store of men into the Towne before the main body of our Armie could get thither they came before the Towne the eleventh and lay there to the seventeenth and being disappointed of their Granadoes and their Garrison coming by Sea was forct to leave it for by that time the enemy were strong both within and without so that our Armie expected that Preston would have given them Battle on St. Patricks day the 17. of March being Friday and accordingly made ready to fight with him which was accomplished on Saterday the 18th at Knockduffe alias called the hill of Balleregagh with much courage on the Rebells side in so much that the right wing of our horse was routed and the day given to be lost in which some of our Commanders were very much to blame and Sir Thomas Lucas being given to be lost being twice cut over the head it went by that meanes very ill there and gave such advantage and courage to the Rebells to goe on that some of their horse brake through our Armie and came to the Carriages but could not returne the same way and Lievtenant Generall Cullin came up to the very Ordnance thinking to have surprised them but his horse was shot under him himselfe not being well seconded taken prisoner In which time the Marquesse of Ormond shewed both his valour and inveterate hatred against his kinsmen and Countreymen for their Rebellion he put himselfe so forward that he was accounted to have been either slaine or taken prisoner In this time the left wing of our horse not knowing the danger of the right did admirable good service and the foote the like meane while our Ordnance playd but at first did little hurt to the Rebells but having new Masters by meanes of two Vessels that they sanke to prevent the Rogues taking of them in comming towards Rosse with necessaries for our Army they did in the end great execution these men being Ship-men were nimble and better skild then those Gunners wee had before which put such terrour into the Rogues that the maine body of foote fled and the left wing of the horse had them in pursuit but there were so much good Cloaths lay up and downe by the way that the winde of our Ordnance had scattered in the field and such want of them among our men that spoyld the pursuit their horses could hardly be gotten to goe by the right wing of horse not able yet to set themselves againe in order was nothing expected to be done by them Sir Thomas Lucas head being downe but since on the mending hand and great hopes of his recovery whereby there were not above 200. slaine as yet come to our intelligence for certain not there in the place but of those about fourescore Commanders men both of wealth note and valour besides the prisoners taken but doubtlesse there were many hundreds that were carried away dead and that carried away their deadly wounds with them much good may it doe them The names of those that were found dead viewed and knowne by our Armie in the field were Colonel Thomas Butler sonne to Sir Richard Butler Lievtenant Colonell Browne of Mulcankin Beverly Brittaine of Lyons Castle Captain Henry Bagnall Captain Thomas Scarlock one that did us much mischiefe in those parts Sir Morgan Cavenagh shot twice but escaped since reported to be dead Captain Brian Captain Donogh O Brian Captain Theobald Butler Captain Edward Butler Captain Masterson Captain Synnot Captain Newgent Captain Gerald fitz Gerald.
