His majesty's Message to the House Peers. April. 22. 1642.  
HIs majesty having seen a Printed Paper, entitled, A Question answered how laws are to be understood and obedience yielded; (which Paper He sends together which this Message think, fit to re●ommend the consideration of it to His House of Peers, that they may use all possible care and diligence for the finding out the author, and m●y give directions to His learned council, to proceed against Him and the Publishers of it, in such a way as shall be agreeable to Law and the course of justice, as Persons who endeavour to stir up Sedition against his majesty; And His Majesty doubts not but they will be very sensible how much their own particular Interest (as well as the public government of the Kingdom) is, and must be shaken, if such licence shall be permitted to bold factious spirits to withdraw His Subjects strict obedience from the Laws established by such Seditious and Treasonable distinctions. And of Doctrines of this nature, His majesty's doubts not but that their Lordships will publish their great dislike, it being grown into frequent Discourse, and vented in some Pulpits by those desperate turbulent Preachers who are the great Promoters of the distempers of this time) That human Laws do not bind the Conscience: which being once believed▪ the civil Government and peace of the Kingdom will be quickly dissolved▪ His majesty exspects a speech account of their lordship's exmplary justice upon the Authors and publishers of this Paper.   

MORE GLORIOUS, joyful, AND RENOWNED news, FROM IRELAND.  
IF there were ever found deadly enemies to true Christian Religion, they are now found out in Ireland; that Mother of all treachery, and Nurse of Treason, as may appear by this ensuing Relation following.  
Upon the 17. day of this present month, the Lord Montgarret, and the great Rebel Mac-Davo, drew their forces together to the number of 14000, intending to give battle against Captain Marro; by reason he had besieged the strong Castle of Bellon in the Neweries: they having intelligence, that he was but 900 strong, having with them but only three pieces of Ordnance, he had given three great assaults against the aforesaid Castle, and mounted his Ordnance in three several places, being furnished with Cannoncers of great note; Upon the 18. day of this month he gave the fourth Assault against the said Castle; where after three hours' fight, the Castle yielded, putting all that were therein to the sword, being in number 300. he then entered the Castle, taking great▪ store of good pillage and ammunition, planting his three Pieces on the said Castle, having intelligence that the Lord Mongarret, and Mack-Davo were intended to give battle against them, being 7. miles off. Sir Henry Tichbourn having received a Letter from Captain Marro that he had takeu the Castle, and that the aforesaid Rebels were resolved to assault him, hasted to him with all speed, with 1700. men, and being within half a mile of the Castle, caused his Drums to beat up, Captain Marro hearing the same, sent out Lieutenant Johnson with 200. to meet them, to know what they were, and approaching near them, Sir Henry sent to him, to tell him what his intents were, that he was resolved to withdraw back till he saw the Enemy approach near the Castle; whereupon Lieutenant Johnson returned back to his Captain, relating to him the policy of Sir Henry, this was upon the 19 of this month, in the morning; and about two of the clock in the afternoon, the Rebels marched towards the Castle, besieging it, and having set their men in four Battalions, began to play against the Castle, Captain Marro answering them courageously, playing with his Ordnance so thick against them, that there were slain of the Rebels in the first firing 300. men, of our side 18. after some cessation they fell too't again, the battle continuing very hot, being doubtful on both sides, till Sir Henry approached and fell on sending 200. men to give battle against the Enemy on the left slanck, if they had attempted to pass by on the right slank, of those that were in fight, he sent secretly by the hills (where there was a hollow distance) 500 men to charge them in their Front, which amazed the Enemy much, he himself falling on with the rest of the Army, Captain Marro still playing against them with most unheard of courage, who after the space of 13. hours' fight, the enemy was forced to retire, Sir Henry and captain Marro hath also taken 5. other Castles in the Neweries, and put many of the Rebels to the Sword, the last week, it is thought they will begin with the great Castle called Newery Castle the next.

More exceeding true and joyful news from Ireland.  
Loving Brother.  
ON the 14. of this month, I received your Letter, being sorry to hear such bad news from you; and whereas you writ to me, to send you word how passages went with us here, I thought it convenient, to send you these Occurrences, following.  
Upon the 17. of this present month, there was a great and bloody battle in the Neweries, fought between 3000. men of our side, under the Command of Sir Henry Tichbourn, Sir Charles Coot, and Captain Marro, against 10000 of the Rebels, conducted by the great Rebel Mondormo, and after a long and tedious battle, they put the Rebels to flight, killed 2000 of them, and wounded the Lord Mondormo: of our side were slain 400. they are intended to fight a pitched battle about the 25. day of this month. We had tidings brought to our Army, April 12. that Sir Philomy O'neal hath got a great army, intending to give battle against us in the Neweries. Captain Marro received a Letter from Colonel Gore, in the North of Ireland, relating how they had defeated six Regiments of the rebels forces, but my Lord of Munster hath had some loss there.  
So I rest your loving Brother J. Gilbert.  
Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, that the Lord Howard of Char, shall attend upon the King, and present some Reasons unto His Majesty.
