THE MANNER OF Apprehending of Oneale , the Arch-Rebell of Ireland , and Colonell Brunslow ; expressed in a Letter to the Bishop of ARMAGH . Right Reverend and beloved Father in God ; THave thought good , after a great deale of Intelligence of our miseries , to present one Cordiall , being the onely hopes of our happy ensuing fortunes , and the generall progredient of the Rebells overthrow , whose cancred spleene is turned into as much feare of the iust vengeance of the Almightie , for their insulting pride and bloudy massacring of his people . I will abreviate my description as much as I may , and thus begin : At Grahayne and Burderdah , being two small Villages upon the Plaine , adjoyning to the Forrest of Morpetenter , in the County of Munster , Oncale with his following Regiments having been dispersed by the Scots in the last Battle repaired thither , in respect of the conveniency of the place for Skirmish , as also the neernesse of the Wood for a present Refuge . Intelligence being given to Sir Simon Harcourt of their abode , and knowing they must of necessitie be unprovided , by reason of their so late flight ; He put forward with five thousand men , whom he disposed of ( after his arrivall ) in manner following . First , He placed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Forrest , to hinder their sight 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hundred of his best men , well horst , to ransacke in the vallyes , thereby to procure the Irish to follow them ; with the residue he resolved to give an unexpected onset upon the Enemy . This plott accordingly prevailed ; for they no sooner perceived the Horsemen , but they forthwith sent eight hundred of their best men , well provided after them ; our men seeming to flye , whilest they followed ; Oneale with the residue of his men , all out of order , stood beholding of this delightfull prospect , hooting and making such a clamour , that our men came upon them unawares , slaying many , some being taken prisoners , amongst the rest Oneale and Brunslow , with divers of their Officers , and those that fled , being many slaine by , the Amhush . Much joy wee have with us at this great overthrow . Oneale and Brunslow are now prisoners in Dublin ; and our comfort is much increased . Thus having given you the true Relation of this Novell ; Desiring your prayers for us as we for you , I rest Yours in all humilitie , EDVVARD BOND . Certain News from the Coasts of BARBARIE . AMbrosius Christopher an expert Mariner , and well skilled in Sea ▪ fights , setting sail the 28 , day of February for the Isles of the Ganaries , about nine of the clock in the morning , after that they had sailed three dayes with a very prosperous gaile , and were not far now from their wished Harbour , descried not above a League before them a little Galley , which seeing the English colours waving upon the top-masts , presently endeavoured with all her Oares to secure her self by flight . The master of the ship having no evill intention , yet seeing a ship flee before she was chased , could not but wonder what the matter should be ; and as the common Proverbe is , A flier must needs have a follower : he left off his own necessarie journie , and presently hoysing up all his sails made after her , but she going a great deal more swiftly than he , by reason that the ship had onely a side winde , and that not strong enough neither , he was forc'd to send a swifter messenger after her : so discharging two Peeces from the chase , he had so good fortune that one took away a great peece of her sterne , the other did break her orelap presently . She after such a shrowd message let down her Ancher and staied still . So the Master of the ship presently sent out his long boat for her well manned , and brought her up ; being asked from whence they came , and whither they were bound , answered that they came from Ireland , and were going for Spaine . Being askt by whose instigation they fled , shewed the Captain of the ship : The master asking him the reason why he had caused the Galley to flie two or three times , he would answer nothing , being as it seems sworn to the Rebels to do their businesse faithfully : But being threatned with the Rack if he would not confesse , at last he told that he had Letters from the Earl of Tyron , to the King and Peers of Spaine : the Master presently desired to see them , but he drawing them out of his pocket , would have thrown them into the Sea , had not they struck against one of the ropes , and fallen back again into the ship , he thinking them irrecoverable if they fell into the Sea . When the ship was now under sail , the Master taking them up , and reading them found this to be the superscription . The united Lords of Ireland to the King and Peers of Spaine , with all health . The Copie of the Letter . MOst excellent Prince , and you Nobles of the Kingdom of Spaine , you know very well what a hard task we have in hand , having undertaken to wrest the Kingdom of Ireland out of the hands of the Englishmen , who for many yeers have kept it very strongly : neither are ye ignorant ( unlesse all our Letters have been intercepted , what good successe our proceedings have had hitherto ; having almost opened to you an entrie to that Kingdom , which heretofore hath so strongly opposed , and having made free passage for any of your Forces into Ireland , our name also becoming terrible not here onely , but also in England . It doth concern you many wayes to aid us in this enterprise , and to have no lesse hand in it than we : it being first for the Religion that we fight ; next for a Kingdom , if it shall please you onely to take it , or help us in taking of it . We after it is overcome desiring nothing more than to be subject to the King of Spaine , and to enjoy our lands , which by the tyrannie of the English men are snatcht out of our hands . We therefore lacking nothing but Ammunition and victualling , for we have abundance of men , and more then we can furnish with Armes , insomuch that when we receive an overthrow , we are a great deal more sorie for our losse of Arms than of men . Next may it please you to send us some provision of Corn , and Beans , and Pease , for our Souldiers ; for we have abundance here of Beeves and Mutton . So expecting help , and ever still praying for your Majesties and your Kingdoms happinesse , I rest From before Dublin at our Camp , Febr. 26. Yours to command , John Tyron . The apprehension of Don Pedro De's Valdres . NO sooner had the King of Spaine received intelligence from Ireland , but immediately he dispatches from his Court one Don Pedro des Valdres , a man verie famous not long since in Germanie and elsewhere , with Letters to strengthen the hope of the Rebels , and to promise them aid . But mark also how he was apprehended , for coming from Castile in a tall ship , he was encountred by a ship of Ipswich , being not above 200. in burden . This Don Pedro being a hot fellow , and a continuall Enemie to the English Nation , as he hath shewed himself in many places before , would needs the one bout with her : the master of the ship being a man of a good spirit , did not refuse to hazard his ship and himself for the honour of his Countrey . In which action he behaved himself so bravely , that he took the ship and Don Pedro in it , being dangerously wounded : He had about him Letters of great consequence . Don Pedro died of his wound not long after . The rest that were in the ship are carried to Ipswich , to stay there whilest they hear from the Parliament . FINIS .
