G. for I. Wright 1642. SIR I Might have taken occasion many times since you went from hence to have written unto you concerning the Earle of Ormond for in this great and generall apostacie which hath happened in this Kingdome no man of either Nation hath stood more firme to the Crowne of England nor ventured his owne person further for the suppressing of the present rebellion then his Lordship hath done I could write much to demonstrate this if there were any doubt to be made thereof But this being a truth which cannot but be acknowledged by all I passe it over will only give you account of his Lordships last journey into our parts of the province of Leinster where in a pitcht field upon fryday last in the afternoone betweene th● h●ures of two and three his Lordship gave in a field betweene Kelrush and Rathemoore a great overthrow to the whole power of the counties o● Wick●●w Wexford Cathercaghe Kildare Queenes County Kilkenny Tipperarie and some ●orces which were drawne out of the County of Westmeathe And in this Battaile he had to deale with his great Uncle the Lord Viscount M●untgarret his owne brother Mr. Richard Butler the Lord of Ikerni● marryed to his Aunt and the Lord of Dunboyne his neere kinsman Tibbet Funcell commonly knowne by the name of Baron Locher who is marryed to his Lordships Aunt and whose Sonne and heire is marryed to his Lordships Sister you●g Bagnau who is Cousin German to his Lordship Philip O darre Mr. Walter and most of the Gentry of our Counties of Kilkenny and Tipperarie Generall Hugh Birne Sir Morgan Cavenaugh Colonell Fitz Gerrald of Ballysoran Colonell Talbot Colonell Moore Colonell Sutton Mr. Rob. Ha●pole Mr. Thomas Davills and many more of great rank and condition who were all beaten and put to a most shamefull flight by his Lordship who in the time of that battell did like Levy forget father mother neither did acknowledge his owne brethren nor neerest kinsmen but pursued them to the death A service never to be forgotten but to be had in remembrance to his everlasting honour I give you this in grose at first because I would not keepe the best newes which hitherto wee have had long from you And now having satisfied you to the full give me leave to digest it further unto you wherein I will faithfully and truly set forth unto you every dayes service Upon Saturday the second of this moneth the Earle of Ormond did march from this City of Dublin towards the Naas with 3000. Foot and 500. Horse and did encampe that night at Rathecoole which is six miles from this City his Lordship was not above two miles on his way when a post was sent after him to let his Lordship know that his Countesse Children were landed at the Rings end which many did think would have brought himselfe back that night But his mind was so intent upon the great businesse of the Kingdome about which he was then sent that though he had not seene his Countesse nor Children in six moneths before and could not assure himselfe that hee should live to see them if that he omitted that opportunity yet neither this nor any other consideration could bring him back from the Army but lodged with them in the fields that night as if the spirit of that great warryer Vriah had beene in him who said The servants of my Lord are encamped in the open field shall I then goe to my house to eate and to drinke and to lie with my wife I will not doe this thing Upon Sunday his Lordship marched from thence the mountaine way to the Naas and burned all that part of the Country and encamped there that night there was no opposition given by the enemy all that way only at Tipper which is within one mile of the Naas there was some shot made at some of our men who went thither out of the Castle by some of the Rebells there we lost a trumpeter and foure of our Souldi●r● besides six which were hurt which so inraged our men that they sent for a barrell of powder to the Naas and having made their approach unto it blew it up and all who were in it except ●hree men who were taken and hanged there was in the Castle a Friar unckle to Sutton of Tipper a fit incendiary to be blown up amongst the rest for it is such fiery spirits which have put this poore and miserable Kingdom into that flame wherein now it is upon Munday the hurt Souldiers were sent from the Naas to this City upon Carres with a convoy of twelve horse but these being set upon betweene Rathecoole and this City by some of the Rebells they were forced to leave the wounded men to the cruelty of the Rebells who most barbarously and cruelly murthered them and the poore innocent Car men who it may be did wish them better then our side This accident thus happening it stopped all intercourse betweene our Army and the state neither being able to spaire that strength which might passe with safetie betweene them which kept us and them in ignorance untill their returne to us we not knowing how the Army did move nor the army hearing from us which was a mighty advantage unto the rebells and a very great disadvantage unto our designes Upon Tuesday at night our Army came to Athye and raised that Seidge but the Towne smen not knowing of the approach of our Army and being hard set to by the Rebells the night before fired most part of the out Towne not being able to keep it which was some disappointment to our army vvhen they came to quarter there Upon Wednesday his Lordship rested there with the Army but sent Sir Patrick Weames Captaine of his owne troup Captaine Armestrong and Captaine Harman to Catherlagh to releeve the Castle there which for a long time had beene beleagured by the Rebells but their Scouts discovering our troups gave notice thereof to the Rebells and thereupon they fired the towne and betooke themselves to flight which our horse perceiving made what haste they could after them and killed of them in the chase 70. men and had done execution upon the rest but that they betooke themselves to a Bogg where our horse could not serve upon them But they releeved the Castle and likewise the Castle of Clogh grevan and returned that night to the Army There was 700. of the Rebells in the Towne of Catherlagh when our horse made their approach thither The same day was the Castle of Ballylivan likewise releeved by some horse which his Lordship sent thither Upon Thursday his Lordship marched to Stradebally where hee encamped that night but left Colonell Crafforde at Athy with some foot
