Die Mercurii , 6 Iulii , 1642. Ordered by the Lords in Parliament , Iohn Brown , Cler. Parl. July 8. London , Printed for Marmaduke Boat . Worthy Sir , I Know you do much desire to hear from your friends especialy having left them in this distracted Kingdom ; yet it hath pleased God to blesse your friends with health , and your Uncle mac Shane , and your Coufen Dermot . The 13 day of this Month the Earl of Ormond marched towards Munster with an Army of 7000. men , which when Sir Phelim Oneal had intelligence , marched towards him with an Army of 14000. men , some ten miles beyond Limbrick , where they had as famous a pitchs Battle as hath been since these troublesome times begun ; these Rebels and their forces continued for the space of two dayes , untill Sir Patrick Weams , and some other English Commanders , with two pieces of Ordnance , made an assault upon them the 16 day of this Month , about two of the clock in the morning ( they not expecting any such thing ) which being so suddenly performed , did so distract the Rebells , that they all seemed to be men without life , and speedily provided every one for himself by flight ▪ yet for all this their haste , there were slain and wounded on the Rebells part to the number of 2000 men , we losing but 40 or 50 at the most . Thus we daily see by experience how mightily God doth fight for us ; To whom be praise and glory for evermore . After the flight of these miserable people , the whole spoil of the Camp was taken , and a great part of it divided amongst the Souldiers , to encourage them , and the rest is kept for the relief of our men . The Rebells have since assembled , which when Sir Patrick Weams heard of , did march towards them , but could not cause them to stay , nor durst they fight , the fear which the last skirmish had stricken them into being still in them , and the want of Arms and Powder , which if they had , they would soon be with us . We want men and money extraordinarily ; for had not God blessed us with this little pillage to relieve our men , we had been in a miserable condition , but we hope , and daily expect both from England : which if a speedy course be not taken , it will much endanger the losse of this Kingdom , and the lives of many poor distressed Protestants : for there is scarce an Irish Gentleman , but is turned to the Rebells ; for they call themselves the holy Catholique Camp , and do daily expect Supplies from some forraigne enemies . Your friends hope to see you shortly : your wife and children are all well , and remember you daily in their prayers . So , till I see you , and ever , I shall remain your assured loving friend , Darby Bargine . From the Fort of Leas , this 19 of June , 1642. M. PYM , BEfore these shall come to your hand , I make no doubt but M. Nicbolls of the House of Commons hath made both Houses a Relation of what hath passed here since I received His Majesties Letters for the discharging me of the Command of the Fleet wherewith I was entrusted , How I called a Councell of Warre , and acquainted them with His Majesties Letters , and likewise with the Ordinance of Parliament , sent from the Houses for me to continue my Charge : I confesse it was a great streight that I was put in , between two Commands that have so much power over me : But when I consider the great care which I have ever observed in the Parliaments of this Kingdom for the good and safety of the King and Kingdom , and every mans particular in them ; And that they are that great Councell by whose Authority the Kings of England have ever spoken to their Subjects ; And likewise that the Trust of His Fleet for the defence of His Majesty and the Kingdoms was committed to me by them ; And knowing the integrity of my own heart to His Majesty and Parliament , I resolved not to desert that Charge committed to my Trust , wherein God ( blessed be his Name for it ) hath made me hitherto so successefull , but to continue it untill I shall be revoked by that Authority that hath entrusted me with it : Which having declared to my Captains at the Councell of Warre , all of them unanimously and cheerfully took the same Resolution , excepting five , which was the Rere-Admirall , Captain Fogge , Captain Barley , Captain Slings by , and Captain Wake , All which five refused to come upon my Summons , as having no Authority over them , and got together round that night to make their defence against me , onely Captain Burley came in and submitted to me . Whereupon in the morning I weighed my Anchors , and caused the rest of my Ships so to do , and came to an Anchor round about them , and besieged them ; And when I had made all things ready , I summoned them : Sir John Mennes , and Captain Fogge came in to me ; but Captain Slingsby and Captain Wake stood out : Whereupon I let fly a Gunne over them , and sent them word I had turned up the Glasse upon them , if in that space they came not in , they must look for for me ab●ord them . I sent to them by my Boat , and most of the Boats in the Fleet ; their answer was so peremptory , that my Masters and Saylors grew so impatient on them , That although they had no Arms in their Boats at all , yet God gave them such Courage and Resolution , as in a moment they entered them , took hold on their Shrouds , and seized upon these Captains , being armed with their Pistolls and Swords , and struck their Yards and top Masts , and brought them both in to me ; The like Courage and Resolution was never seen amongst unarmed men , so as all was ended without effusion of blood , which I must attribute to the great God of heaven and earth onely , who in the moment that I was ready to give fire on them , put such courage into our men to act it , and so saved much blood . I hope the Parliament will think of some course for all our Indempnities , and especially for the Officers of the Navy , and principall for the Surveyor of the Navy , my Vice-Admirall , a very able and good man , For my self , I doubt not but they that put me in this employment , will preserve me for serving them faithfully . I pray you Sir be a means to Sir Robert Pye , and M. Green , that some money may be sent us ; for it hath been often promised , but hear not of it . The weather continuing stormy so long together , that we spend our Masts , and top Masts , or some detriment or other falls upon us daily , so that we are in great extremity for want of money . Thus , having nothing else to trouble you for the present , onely that you will be pleased to acquaint your House of Commons with our proceedings here , I bid you fare well , and rest , Your assured friend to serve you , Warwick . From aboard His Majesties Ship the James , on the Downs ; this 4 of July , 1642. Die Mercurii , 6 Iulii , 1642. Ordered by the Lords in Parliament , That this Letter beforth with printed and published . Jo Brown , Cleric . Parliamentorum . FINIS .
