London , Printed for F. Coles . 1641. NEVVES FROM IRELAND . From Dublin the 23. February . 1641. Most deare Mother , AFter my humble duty remembred , &c. I wrot to you the last weeke by a friend bound for London , inclosed to my Brother Roger Cole , and inclosed a Proclamation set forth by the Lords Justices and Councell here , shewing the names of divers of the Capitall Rebels , and what reward shall be given unto him that shall bring in the heads of them or kill them , although they shall not be able to bring in their heads , yet a different reward to be given the doers of it , and since which time , Sir Phelom O Neale and the Lords of the English Pale , viz. the antient English Inhabiting divers Counties about Dublin , bestowed on them by the Kings of England , of whom I wrot the names in my former letters , have made a Proclamation on their parts , that whosoever shall bring unto them the head of the Earle of Ormond our Generall , of Sir Charles Coote , Sir Simon Harcourt , and other Collonels and Captaines of ours , shall have a very great reward , and the fine of each is expressed in the Proclamation , as yet they dare doe any thing , for if we count the arme of the flesh to be strength , they are neere 20 to one against us . There is of them gon into the Province of Munster above 30000 men , and some report they are compleat in Armes , and the Commanders are the Lord Montgarret , L. Dunboyne , L. of Icharin , L. Kihare , L. Brittis , and Lord of upper Ossery , and some affirme that my Lord of Muzgrave is Generall , they have driven the Lord President into Corke , and 14 or 1500 men with him , and have laid siege to Bandon-bridge , & Kingsale , of which we have certaine newes , but what mischiefe they have done to our English in all the Countrey there about , we know not , but doe grieve to thinke upon . All the Province of Connaght is likewise in rebellion , and Gallaway taken by them , onely we understand that the Fort there is on our side , but hour long they can subsist without provision we know not , that is the most dangerous place in the Kingdom , because it is a good Harbour and lyes open to Spaine , and you know that spain hath ever bin a harbour of Rebels against England , their Religion teacheth men so to be . I wrot you formerly that if wee have not shipping in all the Ports of this Kingdome , to prevent the comming in of Armes to the Rebels , that all the ayd England can send will doe us little good , for you may please to consider the difference betweene their Souldiers and ours , setting their Commanders a part : our men are for the most part poore men and weake in many respects , for he that is of any great meanes and great breeding in England , will not come over to be common Souldier here , and those that are here they are ( many of them ) poore pilledg'd people , the better sort are gon for the most part into England : they are the most wise able and active men of this Kingdome , and in battle they have a very great advantage against us , for they commonly place themselves heare unto some great Bog , and if they be put to the worse in 500 yards running they will get into the Bogs , where no horse can come neare them , neither are our foot skilfull to follow them : if it were possible there to compassd them in , it were to the purpose , but to meet with them on the other side of the Bog , it may be will cost our men ( as in many places ) 20 or 30 miles march , and by that time they will be far from our Army . The Rebellion is so generall , and their men so many , that if our Army here , which with my Lord Lieut. Regiment now landed , and the 4 or 500 horse now come ( as is reported ) will make hardly 8000 men , 1000 whereof are Inhabitants , and most of them householders , Marchants and Tradesmen of this City , and their servants , who may not leave this Citty without great danger . I have two servants in the Kings pay , and I stand with my owne Armes upon any service that shall be required , and will God willing , adventure my hearts blood for the cause in hand ; I say if our Army here should adventure farre into the Countrey against them one way , they will escape our Army many wayes , and come upon Dublin , which would indanger the losse of the whole Kingdome , for all depends upon this place : For although wee have no intelligence out of the North , whereby to write you of it , yet you may please to conceive , that where the Rebellion began , they will make sure something for themselves : I thinke there are none but Scots Inhabitants , very few English left to oppose them , wee have no certaine intelligence thence of the landing of any out of Scotland , but what we heare out of England ; I wrot you of the going away of shipping from hence with provision for to relieve our Souldiers in Tredath ( or Droghedath ) and was in hope that they had got in safe , but On Saturday we understood that they were not then gotten in , that the Rebels had sunck many boats and chained them together , and that Captaine Bartlet of the Kings Pinasse ; intended to try the breaking of the chaine , or if the spring-tyde would bring water enough to carry them over the chaine , and that Captaine Bartlet had taken one vessell loaden with Herrings , and sunck another being come from Wexford , thither with provision for the Rebels , I trust to heare good newes from thence . We heare that there are two Priests at Nantz in France , buying of Powder and Armes for the Rebels , I am much affraid that this South wind hath brought them in unto VVexford , for that Towne is in their owne custody , I cannot heare whether Youghall and Dungarven be taken by them or not ; but they have a very great Army gon that way ; we are here in a very bad case for want of mony , and we have had good hope to have had store out of England this wind , but there is not mony to pay the Souldiers that are now come over . We have great joy for the blessed agreement betweene the King and the Parliament . God who is the Author of peace and Unity , keepe the divell and his instruments ; the sower of sedition , and his children , from disturbing the same , that the King may be happy , God glorified , his Religion established , that truth and honesty may be in fashion , and superstition and lyes may be put away from our Land , and the father of lyes and Antichrist utterly banisht . We have reported here , that my Lord Masgrave hath great forces apart , besides the Army that is with my Lord Mountgarret , but I thinke it is all one Army , and I marvell from whence they have their Armes , except France should furnish them , brought into VVexford . I have written you what conflicts wee have had about us with the Rebels , I thinke that in severall battles ; viz. at Glasnemoccy ( so much reported of in the English Currants ) was not above 6 men poore Rogues found in houses without fight , at the Grange 6 miles from this , I thinke were some 70 men slaine , and many Armes taken , at Sheourd 4 Colours were taken , and about 100 slaine of them , and there we lost Sir Luciu● Cary , brother to the Lord Viscount Fawkland in England , hee was Lieutenant Collonell to Sir Charles Cootes Regiment ; at Racoole there was about 50 men slaine of them : at Fingles , about some 30 of them slaine ; and wee lost but one ordinary Souldier , and what men have beene slaine at Tredath , or Droghedah , wee heare that this last voyage , wee were like to lose a great boat loade of provision , that went downe to relieve the Towne , by being grounded , but that they had a piece of Ordnance aboord , which secured them till the Tyde came againe , and slew many of the Rebels both horse and foot , of which I shall write more the next opportunity ; In the meane time I humbly commend you to God , and rest , Your dutifull Sonne , Robert Cole . The true Copy of another Letter that was sent from Irevine , the twenty seventh of February , 1641. Most loving Husband , MY love remembred to you , I doe much wonder that since you went to London , I never received any Letter from you but one , which I wonder of you , being so long in London . Your brother Henry the writer hereof is come over with good Newes blessed be our God , for there hath beene two great battels fought betweene the Rebels and our Scotchmen , the one at London-derry , the other at the Nenry , where the Lord hath given great victory ; above 15. or 16 , hundred slaine of the Enemies in both the battels , Captaine Ellis with his company of 300. hath banisht them from the band-fide , and Captaine Cunnighame met him at Ballachy , in March from the Towne of Coulraine , and with him and Captaine Play , 500. so that they are we hope from these three Counties , for we have intelligence by your brother , that there is brave Commanders beyond , as Colonell Lestie , Major Lestie , that went from this Towne , Lieutenant Colonell Brothwike , and Captaine Hamilton , who hath beene very valorous , there hath beene no losse on our side this great while , onely one Robert Jake , and John Carfell , two of Captaine Ellis Souldiers slaine at the Towne , and your cousin John Vernet is hurt , and one that kept Sir John's Land in the Grange , the Lord of Antrims Country is silent now , but a while agoe they made great stir as you writ , that Glenram and Enver was burnt , but it is not so , they are safe , Murno did not stay in Carikfergus above 48. houres after he landed , but marched towards Belfast , and from thence to Drummore , and as we heare by your brother of a certaine , gave battell to one Patricke , Mac Cartane , and one Mac Geere , where he did kill many of them , being accompanied with my Lord of Ardes and his forces , with the losse of 14. men , and your brother sayes they are beaten from the Newrie , and the North part somwhat quieter then it was , blessed be our good God ; we heare that England is like to be in a wofull case , and yet you never touch it in your Letter , I pray you doe not so any more , we suspect the Generall himselfe will goe over shortly if he had commission : men are levying very fast heere . Thus to obey your desire , to write younewes , as you doe not the like to me , but you may thanke the Clarke , I wrot , one to you before as well as I could , your father and mother remembers them , you and all your friends : your father is going over againe , if he heare any further of any settling , your brethren that is with Master Iames Catwarthy are all well , Alexander your brother is newly come over , but is going backe in all haste , he came for more Armes , I pray you hast you home as soone as possible you can , and let me heare from you by every Post , I commit you to the Lord , and rest , Your loving Wife , Iane Glencorse . Irewine in Scotland , the 27. of Feb. FINIS .
