Penned in a Letter by Alderman Cillard of Dublin now chosen Appothecary Generall for the army , and sent to Master Keneday his Nephew now resident at Lincolnes Inne . on Feb. 28. Printed at London for Geo. Lindsey . 1642. A Continuation of the Irish Proceedings , sent from Dublin the 28. of Feb. 1641. THe Rebells under the pretence of saving the English , Phillip of Relley , told the people of Belturbet that hee came to save them from the enemy , and wished them to see what weapons every man had , and to bring them to him , which the poore people did , and when hee had gotten the weapons , he caused them presently every man to goe into their Houses and not to stirre till hee called on them , but as soone as they were in , they caused the doores to be made fast , and a guard at every doore , and then the false villaines began to pillage them , but still promising them faire quarter , and that they should have their goods againe , and carriages to carry them away which he did , but no sooner had they put up their goods , but presently it was taken from them , and every man woman and child stripped naked and sent away towards Dublin , where they told them that they should have but cold entertainement for it was taken , but they lyed I thanke God : but when they heard the plott was discovered , the Rogues were ready to hang themselves , which no good time past I hope they will be hang'd or killed . There did come in one company at least 1500 men , women and children , and they all were starke naked as my poore Vnckle Swamson told me , and no sooner did they get a ragg to cover their nakednesse , but a Rogue of ten yeares old would search them , and if it were worth the taking they would have it , and had their skenes in their hands to kill any that did resist , and were robbed 22 times before they came to the Cavane , and many killed and starved with the cold , the like damnable and inhumane doing was never heard of before they tooke the sucking children , and stript them and flung them with pitchforkes into the River , and they tooke above a hundred of the distressed soules and broke a wodden bridge that they were to goe over , & made them goe over the broken bridge that they were all drowned , and such as could swimme , they went on both sides of the River and killed them with stones and clubs : in that company was Master Follerton my Lord Primates Chaplaine , and he would not sting himselfe into the River , but suffered himselfe to bee cut in peeces , and one more with him , such as they got with them to Masse for feare , the next day they would tell them , now that wee have saved your soules wee will hang you , and did one Master Midleton ; they killed my cosin Francis Sullian in his wives armes , and had almost cut her fingers off because shee would not let him goe , and after dragged him in the dirt , they tooke one , Trafford a Minister at Longford , and ripped up his belly , this your Vnckle Iohn told mee , who scaped very narrowly from them ; they got one Sharpe a Minister at the Navane , and cut him in peeces , and his poore wife thinking to gather them againe to burie him , the Rogues had like to have killed 〈…〉 did meddle with them , but let the doggs eate him ; they tooke Master Pullen the Bishop of Derry his brother in law at Cashell and stripped him , and whipt him about the streets , and after put him in the stockes , and there he remained starke naked till they were going to Masse , then they put an old ragg about him , and pricked him behind with their swords and skenes into Masse , and whether hee be dead or alive it is not knowne , this Deane Thrope told me : nay there is a more inhumaine thing then all this , the damned Rogues did serch the womens privie parts for money , and would make the poore good women to dance naked with a bagpipe , and beeing neere a Thatcht house the poore soules would catch of the straw , and hold it before them , but the Rogues would catch it from them : againe I could send you ten times more of their damnable wicked doings , but time would not permit me . Of our proceedings against them . First Clantaffe was burnt by Sir Charles Coote and most of all the Townes with in six miles about the Cittie , are burnt , and a boundance of the Rogues slaine . Sir Henry Tuchborne failed out of Tredth five times and he killed seaven hundred of the Rebells and lost but nine of his men . Sir Charles Coote had a smale fight with them at swords , where he killed three or foure score of the Rebells and lost but foure besides . Sir Lawrance Cary , who was short through his head peece , My Lord of Ormond , Sir Charles Coote , My Lord Cambart and Sir Simon Harecote went to the Mase on the thirteth of Ianuarie with two thousand men ; and two hundred horse and sent a hundred horse to Castle Marting who is gone out , and they bnrned his Towne and Kilcollen bridge , and many townes of the enemies , and brought home five hundred Cowes besides other Cattell , and worth two thousand poundes of pillage that the Soldiers gott , and all this way there was not a shott , shott , before the bragging rogues thought that we durst not goe to Racoule , but they found it otherwise God be praysed that makes our enemies flie before us ; for the name of Sir Charles Coot is as fearefull to them as ever Drake , was to Spaine or Tabottro France , we hang them daily here , Alderman Sances is condemned to be hanged and gott eight dayes to bring in his sonne , orelse be hang him selfe , here are damnable doeing with the Gentelmen of the pale for they are all out and here will be brave possessions for our Commanders God willing . I thanke God all victall are plentifull with us as yet , but now we are affraid it will be scarce by reason the Rogues gott all from us , but it proveth otherwise God be thanked ; I am chosen Apothecary generall for the Armie ; and you shall heare from me shortly God willing , all your freinds are wel God bethanked , and you are growne forgetfull or lasie , Commend me to my Cosin She le and pray him get my Watch mended , for I shall want it in my Iourney to the Camp so I rest , desireing God to pacifie these troublesome times , Amen . Your Vnkle Sank●y Sullian . Your Brother Thomas is a Trooper , and Ionas . The Charme . THis Charme was found in the pocket of one of the Rogues , this Oration was found on the Tombe of our Blessed Lady , and is of such effect , that whosoever will have the same , or say it daily , or carry it about him , shall be safe from fire , water , and skirmish of battell , and also from noy some hunting of spirits : moreover whosoever shall say , a pater , Ave , and Creede daily to the honour of our holy and miraculous Virgin Mary , shee will visibly shew her selfe unto him three times before his death . Ths Prayer after . O Most sweet Lord Iesus Christ onely sonne of the omnipotent Father God of Angells onely sonne of the most gracious Virgin Mary helpe me asure and save me from all present dangers wherin I am , Most excellent and blessed Virgin to be praised , pray and interceed for me a miserable sinner to thine onely beloved son O Chast and honourable woman , you are the Mother of Angells and Archangels ; helpe me from all present evills , and all to come , O Flower of Patriarkes O shining brightnes of the Apostes , O hope of Glory , O beauty of Virgin , O high thoughts of Angels and Archangels , O most sweete woman I most humbly beseech the not to forsake me at the trembling time of my death , when my soule shall be separated from my body , wherby I may see my self everlasting Glory by him , O flower of all Angels , O foundation of all sweetnesse , starr of art , O heaven of health , O Queen of penitent offendors , O hope of the faithfull Archangels , thou whose conversation is the only recreations of the Angels & Archangels O most honourable Lady of all sweetnes and fortitude ; you are the most wholesome medicine of all fores , you are the mabearigh of all vertues , through thee doth ever Angells and Archangells reioyce , O Mother of mercy looke on me with thine owne mercifull eyes , and I commit to thy blessed armes to inspire my soule and body , and my thoughts , so that it pleaseth thee , and thine only beloved Sonne , Iesus Christ . Pater Ave and Creed . Besides these base phopperies which the poore people are deluded by the Fryers and Iesuites , they most falsely tell the people afarre off , that Roger Moore hath beseiged the Citie , and that the King of Spayne hath sent a great Army to helpe them , and all are about Dublin , and that there is three Coaches , and that the Queene is in one of them , they doe not sticke to say , and make the people beleeve that they should heare Masse at Christchurch on Christmas day , and feede the poore Rogues with such , lies that the common people beginne to forsake them .
