           dayes
           before
           the

           wee
           advanced
           our

           towards
           Felles
           ,
           where
           we
           found
           some
           of
           the
           Irish
           Army
           drinking
           of

           Spaine
           their
           supposed
           Protector
           ;
           but
           in
           the
           midst
           of
           their
           jollity
           our
           Army
           fell
           upon
           them
           ,
           and
           slew
           200.
           whereupon
           a
           greater
           party
           of
           the
           Rebels
           appeared
           ,
           and
           assaulted
           us
           ,
           and
           there
           was
           a
           stout
           fight
           on
           both
           sides

           fighting
           only
           with
           our
           swords
           ,
           so
           that
           our
           men
           had
           slaine
           and
           wounded
           most
           of
           them
           ,
           had
           not
           Colonell
           Bourne
           with

           Neverthelesse
           our
           souldiers
           made
           good
           their
           parts
           ,
           and
           came
           off
           with
           the
           losse
           of
           100.
           at
           the
           most
           .
           We
           brought

           sheep
           ,
           and
           great
           store
           of
           other
           pillage
           that
           was
           freely
           given
           to
           the
           souldiers
           for
           their
           pains
           ,
           which
           very
           much
           incourageth
           them

           Oneal
           his
           souldiers
           are
           most
           lamentable
           distressed
           poore
           people
           ,
           hardly

           their
           nakednesse
           .
           We
           were
           much
           afraid
           of
           the
           Spanish
           Forces
           which
           landed
           at
           Waterford
           two
           dayes
           before
           the
           fight
           ,
           but
           ,
           as
           God
           would
           have
           it
           ,
           our
           souldiers
           carried
           their
           pillage
           quite
           away
           before
           they
           came
           to
           assist
           Colonell
           Bourne
           ,
           who
           was
           chiefe
           Commander
           amongst
           the
           Rebels
           in
           that
           fight
           .
        
         
           We
           have
           great
           hopes
           of
           Captaine
           Bartlet

           for
           hitherto
           he
           hath
           done
           very
           good
           service
           ;
           and
           this
           instant
           day
           he
           took
           a
           Dunkirk
           ship
           full
           of
           ammunition

           Commanders
           in

           ,
           and
           immediately
           brought
           them
           to
           Barannakilly
           :
           they
           were
           driven
           with
           a
           tempest
           upon
           our
           coasts
           ,
           for
           it
           appeared
           by
           their
           examination
           that
           they
           intended
           to
           have
           landed
           at
           Tingmouth
           ,
           Dartmouth

           cannot

           admire
           at
           a
           Merchants
           ship
           of
           Bristoll
           which
           lately
           anchored
           at
           Crockhaven
           by
           reason
           of
           tempestuous
           weather
           ,
           the
           Captain

           Master
           of
           the
           ship
           fearing
           lest
           the
           rebels
           would
           sink
           her
           ,
           invited
           the
           chiefest
           rebels
           of
           the
           towne
           aboard
           ,
           and
           gave
           them
           royall
           entertainment
           ,
           in
           hopes
           to
           have
           merchandize
           for
           their
           Tobacco
           ,
           they
           had
           fair
           promises
           protested
           aboard
           ,
           but
           when
           the
           rebels
           got
           the
           Captain
           &
           Master
           ashore
           ,
           they
           vowed
           to
           hang
           them
           if
           they
           commanded
           not
           the
           rest
           of
           the
           Mariners
           to
           come
           ashore
           and
           leave
           their
           ship
           and
           goods
           amongst
           them
           .
           The
           Captain
           and
           Master
           escaped
           with
           their
           lives
           ,
           though

           them
           in
           earnest
           ,
           for
           they
           needed

           go
           ashore
           ,
           but
           they
           might
           have
           caried
           away
           or
           curbed
           the
