Ioyfull
Newes
from
Ireland
,
or
a
true
relation
of
the
great
overthrow
which
the
English
gave
the
Rebels
before
Droheda
.
&c.
Noble
Sir
,
IN
my
last
to
you
,
I
signified
to
you
,
the
difficulties
which
were
like
to
befall
us
by
the
releeving
of
Droheda
,
but
God
by
his
infinite
mercy
hath
freed
us
(
I
may
say
miraculously
)
from
that
hazard
:
for
when
our
men
there
were
driven
to
that
extremitie
to
eat
horse-flesh
,
Sir
Henry
Tichbourne
sallied
out
of
the
Towne
with
only
fourty
Musketiers
,
and
fourty
Horse
,
and
beat
off
foure
hundred
of
the
Enemies
,
killed
above
threescore
of
of
them
,
recovered
fourescore
Cowes
and
Oxen
,
and
two
hundred
sheepe
;
burned
foure
townes
,
and
brought
home
two
of
their
Collours
;
Besides
,
I
must
relate
unto
you
Gods
abundant
goodnesse
unto
us
,
in
that
the
night
before
the
reliefe
and
succours
which
we
sent
by
Sea
from
Dublin
to
them
,
should
have
entred
into
the
Harbour
of
Droheda
,
(
which
was
strongly
fenced
over
with
a
Chaine
and
severall
boates
)
there
happened
a
storme
which
broke
their
chainer
,
and
gave
our
men
so
free
a
passage
,
as
with
little
difficulty
they
came
safely
to
the
towne
.
The
Rebels
were
gathered
at
Kilshalgham
within
seven
miles
of
Dublin
,
above
two
thousand
men
,
where
they
were
settled
in
a
very
strong
wood
.
My
Lord
of
Ormond
carried
out
part
of
our
Army
,
and
beat
them
out
of
that
great
strength
(
for
they
would
not
come
into
the
Champaine
)
and
killed
above
a
hundred
of
them
,
without
any
considerable
losse
of
our
side
,
only
Captaine
Iames
Rochfort
,
a
most
gallant
and
couragious
gentleman
.
This
was
an
act
of
great
bravery
,
wherein
Sir
Charles
Coote
did
,
(
as
he
doth
alwayes
)
beyond
expectation
,
exposing
his
person
to
as
much
danger
as
any
man
living
could
;
and
intruth
he
is
a
gallant
man
,
full
of
courage
and
good
affections
,
and
deserves
great
incouragement
from
that
side
.
Our
souldiours
are
in
great
want
of
money
,
which
causes
a
generall
want
of
all
other
necessaries
,
yet
notwithstanding
God
hath
infused
such
courage
into
them
(
for
undoubtedly
it
is
his
worke
)
that
they
thinke
there
is
no
danger
so
great
,
but
they
may
attempt
it
.
Colonell
Munke
is
arrived
here
with
my
Lord
Lieutenants
Regiment
of
fifteen
hundred
foot
,
and
Sir
Richard
Greevill
with
neere
foure
hundred
Horse
,
which
puts
much
heart
into
us
,
and
makes
us
looke
big
upon
our
neighbours
,
yet
we
grieue
wee
cannot
be
able
to
releeve
our
friends
in
other
parts
;
but
I
hope
when
our
full
succours
shall
come
,
we
shall
not
only
defend
this
place
,
but
adde
comfort
to
our
poore
distressed
friends
abroad
.
The
enemy
though
their
numbers
bee
very
great
,
even
beyond
beleefe
,
yet
their
hearts
begin
to
faint
,
and
I
beleeve
they
repent
their
furious
madnesse
.
If
my
Brother
be
in
London
,
I
pray
you
impart
this
Letter
to
him
,
I
would
have
written
to
him
,
but
that
I
thought
he
was
at
Chester
,
or
on
his
way
thither
;
By
the
next
hee
shall
heare
from
me
at
large
,
and
I
shall
likewise
trouble
you
.
I
must
now
only
tell
you
,
that
I
thanke
you
for
your
care
of
those
things
which
concerne
mee
,
and
that
I
am
,
Sir
,
your
most
affectionate
servant
