LONDON, Printed for John Greensmith, 1641.   

The Earl of Corks Victory, AND Tyrones' Overthrow.  
REbellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and witches by the Law were not to be suffered to live, by which we may gather, that the Rebels in Ireland are not to have the hope of mercy shown unto them, but being ceased upon to be put all to death, many out rages have they committed, and many Christianicall Protestant have they put to unspeakable torments which have been heretofore presented to the view of the whole world.  
It hath been the Lord chief Justice's request to have aid and assistance from England and Scotland, which they have been granted, to the terror of their treacherous enemies.  
The Lord Moor hath ressisted them very often, and sometimes his forces have been overthrown, but oftener hath he quelled the pride of the Rebels by just slaughter.  
Also of late hath the Earl of Cork stood in the defence of our King and himself, having an Army consisting of ten thousand men,  
With which he marched unto the place some sour Miles distant from Dublin, where the Rebels Troops lay watching for opportuniry to besiege the City.  
Many times before had he challenged them to a pictht Battle, but they never durst.  
Wheresore he unawares, with his companies fell upon them, who to resist, the Rebels tried their best Skill, but after a Skirmish, the Rebels knowing how slenderly they were armed seemed to retreat bacl, but the forces of the Earl of Cork pursued them, and as they seemed to run away, slew, two Hundreth Forty Six of the Rebels.  
But the Rebels had the next day aid & assistance by the treacherous Earl of Tyrone, and then they seemed to gird round the Army of the Earl of Cork, but a Colonel under the command of the Earl of Cork, by his policy, broke their ranks.  
And cut off at that present time, above five hundreth, which struck terror in the hearts of the Rebels, which the Earl of Macqu●ere his company hearing, came to the rescue of their Companies, but were valiantly repelled by the Earl of ●orke a certain number of t●●● being slain, which is doubtful.  
Then did the Earl of Cork, march with his Companies toward the City of Cork where he percoived the Companies of the Lord Muskrey, burning up one of his chief Manner houses.  
Then did he march toward them, and slew one hundred and threescore of them, the Lord himself was not there present amongst them.  
Then came news unto him, that Armagh was besieged, which stayed his intended purpose for to rescue them, whom he found in great perplexity, but they viewing aid coming to the Protestants, set fire on part of the City, and changed habits and Arms with them which they before in the City had slain, and so passed the revenge, which otherwise had been inflicted upon them.  
To watch and ward Armagh did the Earl spare three hundred of his men, which three days after were encountered by the same Rebels but the Protestants gave them such an overthrow, that they had no cause to boast of Victory, yet are the Rebels in hope to obtain foreign aid, and at this time do keep themselves in the Woods.  
The Protestants also expect aid from us, and then they do not fear but to expel those which went about to destroy them and their Religion.  
But not withstanding as yet they confess, they own recompense for safety first unto God, and then to the good Earl of Cork, who doth make their enemies to tremble.  
This Earl of Cork was borne in Cent, and now is one of the wealthiest Peers in Ireland, and hath hither to proved himself a true loyal Subject to King Charles our lawful King and Governor, may daily more such Corks arise, that with swiftness they may pursue the enemies of Religious Protestants.   

The Copy of a Letter sent from the Earl of Tyrone unto Sir john Burlacie, one of the Lord chief justices in Ireland.  
Sir john,  
Yleld up your Fort and do not think for to withstand our invincible power, lest that I study revenge, and you all being taken, suffer without quarter, but if the good will of a deposed Governor may stir you up to Justice, revolt speedily and assist me, which am at this time in the County of Monahan, accompanied with Troops of loving and war like Soldiers, make use of my Counsel, and be eternally happy.  
FINIS.
