A true and perfect RELATION OF The victorious proceed of the Protestant Forces in the Kingdom OF IRELAND.  
SIR,  
HAving received a Letter from you, dated the 15. of March, 1646. intimating your earnest desire to me, for the imparting of such passages and Occurrents, which shall (at any time) happen within this distressed & most disconsolited Kingdom.  
Therefore, to satisfy your expectation, & to acquaint you with the state and condition of this Nation, I shall desire you to perufe these ensuing lines, viz.  
The Rebels are very strong, having great bodies abroad, making several inroads upon the Protestants quarters; yet not altogether so often, as formerly, by reason of the gallant motion, and happy success of the most valiant and renowned Gentleman, Colonel Mac-adams', who having a Commission from the Parliament of England, to prosecute the Design again the Irish Rebels in Ireland, and to further & advance the Cause of the Protestants, jointly resolved with his whole Regiment (consisting of seven hundred Foot) to try strange adventures abroad, and to change their Winter Garrisons.  
And thereupon took shipping at Kingsayle, and set to Sea, being conducted by divers of the Parliament ships; and after few day's sail, they landed at a place called Dingle, a strong place in poffession of the Rebels, and very well fortified, and immediately fell upon the Works, scaled them, and forced their passage into the town, putting many of the Rebels to the sword, and caused the rest to fly, leaving all their arms and ammunition behind them, and great store of money, and other rich booty, and after a hot skirmish, and bloody conflict, became Masters of the Castle, taking divers prisoners; but this renowned Colonel, being too venturous, received a dangerous shot from the Castle.  
Then the said Colonel Mac-adams' with his stout Regiment, marched some 5 miles up into the Country, pursuing the Enemy beating them to the Hills and Mountains, insomuch, that at the last, great Bodies began to draw down, which caused the Colonel and his Regiment to retreat down towards the Sea-Coast, and in their way fired the Garrison of Dingle, and the Castle; this being done, they betook themselves to their shipping, and so sailed up the stately River of Limbricke, and being within two or three leagues of Bonrattie, the Soldiers began to prepare themselves for shore, and at the last rived there in safety. The aforesaid Colonel having landed his Regiment, drew them up in Battalia, and there made a gallant speech unto them, concerning their present Design against the Earl of Thomand, and high party, boing in number about fifteen hundred: the Colonel had no sooner ended his Oration, but the Soldiers set up such a Halli-looe, that caused all the Irish thereabouts, to leave their own houses, and betake themselves to their Bogs and Woods.  
The Earl of Thomend were sore amazed to see such a gallant Fleet at Sea, and so brave a Body on Land, that immediately he retired to Sixe-mile Budge, where he drew up in a Body, with a resolution to give our Forces battle.  
But seeing them come on with such a magnanimous courage, and our yellow Colours in the Van, they immediately threw down their Arms, and betook themselves to the Mountains, leaving all their provision, Bag and Baggage behind them.  
Thus it hath pleased God to crown this small party of the protestants with Victory, giving them triumphant success in all their erterprises: For (indeed) the Colonel were very perfect in the knowledge of the country, exceeding expert in the Discipline; and most wise and vigilant in all his actions. Thus (for the present) I shall conclude, remaining  
Your most affectionate friend, John Brown.   

A true Relation of the gallant entertainment of his Excellency the Lord Lisle, at the City of Cork in Ireland.  
THE right Honourable the Lord Inchiqueen having received intelligence of the safe landing of his Excellency the L. Lisle in that Kingdom, made great preparations for the entertainment of his Excellency, and appointed the most eminent place in the City for his quarters.  
His Lordship advanced out of the City with divers Troops of Horse to meet his Excellency being accompanied with a galtant train of Chivalry; and being met, they gave other a friendly greeting, and so marched into the City: the Musquetters were placed on each side the street, giving a volley as his Excellency passed along: the Canoniers were all in readiness, welcoming his Excellency to the City, with a gallane Echo from the Castle and Forts.  
His Excellency hath given great satisfaction since his coming thither to the Officers & Soldiers, both for Recruits and Money from the Parliament of England, and hath now taken the Field, and is advancing towards the Rebels quarters, being in number between six and seven thousand, Horse and Foot. God grant them a prosperous voyage, and victorious success against their Enemies.
