publike meeting it being a day of fasting and prayer we set sayle and had the winde at East the weather very faire and our whole fleet together off of Dover The next day the wind at east blew very hard and foule weather vve having ten barges for landing men rowing into rivers lost 2. of the in that storme The winde as before Captaine Rainsborough and two small vessels went for the Isle of Wight to take in Captaine Longs men and Captaine Andrewes for Falmouth for Captaine Hull and his Captaine Symondson for Weymouth for Major Humfrey and his so then we were left ten in number and that evening having chased some English-men bound for France we came up with the Lizard the winde skanting we had a Counsell aboard the Admirall what to doe and left all for that night to Gods providence in disposing the winde the next day whither to goe into Falmouth or keepe our course The next day Captaine Richardsons barge being almost stav'd we turned into Mounts-bay to repayre her having no winde to lay it along the day was very faire at ten of the clocke in the night we set sayle againe Being hardly able some of us to weather the rock at the bay the next day but forced to turn out as we could thorough an earnest desire of all hands to gain the Irish coast we then met one of the Kings ships coming with many poore people come from Limrike-castle newly taken which had been commanded by Captaine Courtney and not to say what the severall apprehensions of men were concerning the causes and consequences of that losse it most certaine if that supply of Ammunition sent them by the

among the seven stones were in much danger but came off wel The fift day we had the winde at west and got about fourteene or fifteene leagues from the Lands-end the weather faire we chas'd two

to his utmost knowledge Three companies of us being left at Clinokeltey my Lord gave order that Weldon being the eldest Captaine I should assist him with charge to give account of the pillage till he returne we set our guards upon every point of the Towne and tooke full view of the Towne how we might be upon defence and offence whereupon Weldon answered that we were to guard three streets I told him that was the next way to overthrow us but he would not heare so I view'd the Towne my selfe and found three places fit for offence and defence viz. Sir Will. Hulls-house or the Church-yard or the hill betwixt Rafe-barry and the Towne which after all I retreated unto but hee had not an eare open to counsaile Then I marched to an Island my Lord had sent me unto for 1500. Sheep and other Cattle to keepe a guard on it which I did with twenty Musketteers I met thirty horse of the enemy and sixty foot marching towards the Towne I marched and charged them they ranne away so then from the island I brought off fifteene hundred sheepe twenty cattell and thirty horse twenty two hogges and brought them to the Towne by that time the enemy approached upon the hill rounding the Towne being five or six thousand in three companies to come downe upon the severall streets I advised Weldon and the other officers as before to which all agreed but himselfe his owne Lieutenant said that else we were undone where upon he said we were all cowards and of the three streets I wished him to take his choice and he should not finde us cowards I march't out towards the enemy my souldiers flung up their caps and gave a shout and gave fire bravely with a brace of bullets and made their foot and two troops of horse retreat without any losse of ours but some hundred of theirs as themselves after confest Then they assaulted Bandon men which when I saw I went to their reliefe and comming on their reare they of Bandon ran away without shooting one shot and came through the Towne with confusion with divers pillages and so disordered us I in the reare with ten Muskettiers charged the enemy then pursuing at hand who dividing to compasse me forced me to retreat out of the Towne to a little old brest-worke and there we gathered in our forces and held them play till my Lord brought up his Regiment We march't to Bandon in much raine and carried our two thousand sheep horse and cattell to that Towne which was a great refreshing to them there We rested at Bandon the weather being very foule and there my Lord received letters from my Lord Inchiquine and divers officers from Don-o-reale and the letters you may finde hereafter marked by letters A. my Lords answer B.
