To the Right Honourable the Earl of Manchester, Speaker of the House of Peers, pro tempore. My Lord, GOd hath this day rewarded our wearisome Marches with a full and glorious Victory over and Enemy who had used much subtlety and diligence to engage the Kingdom in a new War; they had increased to a great number by the addition of divers disbanded men from England, and a general conjunction of most of able bodied Inhabitants of the Counties of Pembroke, Curmarthen, and Cardigan, and many of Glamorgan. This day about nine of the Clock it pleased God that we engaged with them at a place called Saint Fagons, three miles distant from Cardiff, and for near two hours had a very hot dispute, but at length by God's mercy they were put to a total rout, many slain upon the place, and about three thousand Prisoners, great store of Arms and Ammunition, and many Colours; The Enemy accounted themselves eight thousand Horse and Foot, which makes the mercy more remarkable. My Lord, The Almighty was pleased greatly to strengthen both our Officers and Soldiers, in the discharge of their duties with much resolution and cheerfulness, but with one heart they desire, that the honour of this work may be wholly given to God. This account I held myself bound to present your Lordships with, to be communicated to the Right Honourable the House of Peers, being My Lord: Your most humble and faithful Servant Tho. Horton.
