HONOURABLE,  
THis acquainting you of my proseeding since the 20. of my being then sent to Dublin, by order from the Lord Inchequinie, to the Lord marquis, after safe Arrival at Dublin, remained four days and could have no dispatch where by to return, for the marquis did daily expect the Lord Taffe with three other Rebels from Kilkency, I remained till they came, then could have no dispatch before a Packert came from the King, thereupon I went to them to the end to seize upon the Packet when it came, likewise to take the foresaid Rebels as they passed over for the better accomplishing, I kept the middle Channel and on the Coast of Wales, first I chaste the Post Bark, and he heaved the Packet over board, for which I questioned him, he said he did according to express order, the seaventh of june I gave chase to two ships which I found to be prizes taken by a Dunkirk to the Northward of Scotland the one was above 200. Tons deep laden, her I burned, the other I chaste a shore upon the Rocks an English mile to the Southward of Wickloe head being Laden with Tarr, Train, and Fish, and saved two of her men, by that time I had done with getingout some Pillage there comes about the head a Dunkirk of 16. Guns and gave us chase, leave him we could not, and so expected him, with the intent to make our party good in entering, I protest he would not come within shot, and claps by a wind and stoud for Arckeloe being hard by him, we followed him in two Fathom water, than I came for Milford to tallow a new, when I came to Sea I took four prizes, whereof two Welsh men, one Saint Tives man of 80. odd tons laden with Coals and had some few Arms, with two Guns, three Murderers, and thirty men, also I took another burden a hundred Tunes laden with Coals, sold the Malignants four Guns and discharged his lading of salt he is not come in here yet.  
I will to my life help you in this the cause of God, craving pardon for this my bordnesse, humbly desiring to excuse haste, and a Monday God willing I will write concerning passages in Wales and do rest.  
Your honour's servant moved ever faithful to this cause. Tho. Perlunkett.  
Not forgetting if I had a Commission to prejudice Papists Malignants in Wales, and Ireland I would with such a Commission do much more than I have done.   

Right Honourable,  
ANd worthy Friend, these serves only to give you notice that about the one and twentieth of May, my Lord General sent me and Captain Hill to the West parts to gather intelligence of the State of the County of Deavon till his Lordship came, so coming into Torbay the 24. sad advice from Dartmouth; that Exeter was besieged, & required present accommodation to suppress the River, that day I met with Captain Peter of Plymouth in the john, which was sent to their assistance by the request of my Lord Stamford▪ The 25. came in the tenth Whelp and Captain Cranch of Plymouth in the Abraham, so I sent to Dartmouth for Captain Tirpin in the Cat who came to us the 26. so the 27. before day we all weighed, and went into the Bay of Apsam, I sent in Captain Cranch, and three boats manned into Tinmouth to fetch a bark out, which was carried in there by the Falmouth Frigate, which Captain jourdaine taken, which is effected without loss of blood, though faced with some 300. horse as they say.  
That same Tide sent Captain Hill, Captain Tirpin and Captain Peter of Plymouth over Exmouth bar, who have seized upon their two Ships, one whereof was ready fitted for a man of War bound to the Sea. The 28. about 9 of the clock all five under sail coming away, but the wind took them short on the Bar, so only Captain Hill got out, but the other four were forced bacl, and I hope this morning will come all out they had much opposition, four small guns planted at Exmast side upon the bank or red cleft to the East of the Church, and two planted at Star Cross, and played very hot, but last night not any man lost one drop of blood, only one of Captain Peter's men bruised in the back with one of their great shot out of their small Ordnance, they had made a work at passage point on the West side upon the sand, but had brought no gun in it, thought to have Maintained it by Musqueteeres, but they soon forced it, and razed that down again, and so keep it so long as they do there remain, I suppose 500 men with the assistance of Exeter would clear that Harbour and cirquit, We much long for my Lords coming, things going well I hope no blame will be laid on us, for so presuming, if otherwise must have patience to be sensured, we knowing a desperate disease must have a desperate cure, a Fleet in this Country would do much good, if there were no greater occasion else where, the Country is waste, the good people much discouraged, though our coming here hath put them in hart, and the advice of my Lords coming altogether revived them, and last night did arrive into this Bay Captain Dauck to give further advice of his coming by the first wind, in the mean time we shall do the best good we can for the guard of this coast, or we have now got together six men of War, these two coming for Exmouth, which I doubt not of this tide with the other two Ships, likewise this is all at present that I can advice, only a prisoner we have of Charge one Bureroft, had his man came to him yesterday, and reports Somerset shire is all fallen off from their obedience of King and Parliament, and now stand all for the Array, and saith Sir john Stowell, and my Lord Paulett hath sent 1500. to the assistance of the siege against Exeter, and that Hopton hath got forces enough to go and besiege Bristol, and hath already taken Bath and Wells which I scarce believe.  
Here is in Torbay Mr. Phillips Mr. Enson with divers others going for New-England to the number of 8. sail.  
This County is so fallen off in general that the very Fisher boats are as cautious to come near us, as though we were Turks, and because they see they cannot go to Sea but we must speak with them, they will not go at all, except they can steal by us without seeing them.  
I have not else but my prayers to God for the preservation and safety of this kingdom in general, and of friends in particular, do take leave, wishing your unwearied pains may be rewarded with good successes here, and happiness hereafter, do rest your Servant.  
Robert Moulton. From aboard his Majesty's Ship Swiftsure Turbay this 29. june 1643.  
THe last day we took up a little boat with three men in her, little bigger than to carry them, which came running from thence out of Captain jones, which came from Breast, and brought Poulehill and all his runaways, and saith here was none they took by betraying, but might have taken them if they would have given the onsett, and so says it with them all, not one of-tenn but forced to go against their will, saith Captain Derrie an Irish man was chaste in at low water, and bilged his Ship but is repaired and come again to Falmouth, and ready is making to go to Sea.
