and from thence marching to athy , burnt the castle and towne of ki●●●sh , belonging to the rebellions colonel fitz-gerald ; from thence they took great store of provision , which the rebels before had taken from the english . then sr. patrick wymes bringing us a fresh supply of souldiers , consisting of 500. foot , and 100. horse , the english army marched to the castle of catherlagh , where the lord ●●l●in , earle of west-meath , the lord mountggarrat , the lord lo●pon , resisted them with strōg forces , but our men had undaunted spirits , and feared them not in the least respect , and wee having the advantage of them , being on a hil , gave them three vollies of shot , before they came within shot of us , and continuing very eager with them , we took the l. muskgroo prisoner , & slew about nine score more , then they fled & yeelded up the castle . from thence we marched to cloughgrenan , a castle of great strength , and conquered that also ; but the rebels perceiving their approach , fired the towne ; but captain harman knowing that part of the countrey very well , followed them , and slew a great number of them , and relieved 5 hundred protestants , exceedingly distressed there . then we marched on , and relieved captaine george grehams castle called , ballilenon ; and by the help of the lord lievtenants , and sir thomas lucas troups , castle rebon and pert were removed . marching to stradbally , we slew many passing over the river barron , where the rebels are encamped ; and marching to his majesties fort of mary-borough , by the helpe of the lord lislyes forces , they relieved ballynekill : marching onwards , wee killed threescore rebels at knockardnegurrah , the other fled , and yeelded up the towne . the lord lievtenant , the earle of baramore , the lord poore , earle of alentia , the lord thomond , sir thomas lucas , sir richard grenvile , captaine armestrong , and captaing scout , with their severall troups & forces , relieved burros , the duke of buckinghams castle , and passing the river noare , neere unto florence , fitz-patrick , there was a stone cause-way over a bog , and passing thereby , we killed many rebels , and relieved three hundred english prisoners . then they relieved knocknemease , and in the morning burr , and put foure or five hundred english therein , who had endured a long siege by the rebels . in their returne back they burnt the country of o duns , till they came to castle-ruffe , and by the help of colonell monke , and captaine treswel , the one commanding the lord generals , and the other the lord lislyes horse-troops , slew foure hundred at the p●ssage of portnehint , possest by the rebels . s. patricke relieved the english in ballynekill , who were in great distresses for want of victuals , sending the eighty barrels of wheat and beere belonging to dempsey , a notorious rebell : all whose villages they burnt , especially the territory of clanmaleero . foure miles from athy at the bridge of magainy , were about seven thousand foot , and two hundred horse of the rebels , conducted ( as the prisoners taken told us ) by viscount mountgarrat , the lord viscount ikerin , the earle of care , the lord dunsane , the lord astry , the lord baron of dunbony , the baron of loghmoe , and most of the principall rebels , of the counties of wickloe , vvexford , catherlaugh , kildare , kilkenny , and queens county , who drew up part of their forces to pankardstown , neere grang mellon . by the directions of the lord generall , corner butler , and cornet magrah , were sent to discover the rebels , and their forces being understood to be so great , a councell of of warre was called , and it was debated what resolution was fittest to be taken . it was concluded , that two thousand foure hundred foot , and foure hundred horse should be raised against them , and put into this order of marching : first , cornet pollard , with thirty horse and forty firelocks , as a vantcurriers , and forlorne hope . then the baggage belonging to the horse . in the next place six troops of horse led by sir tho. lucas , comissary generall for the horse in two divisions . then followed the baggage of the foot vieres . next captain edmund matthew , the lord pillon , son to the earle of roscommon , the lord brabason , sonne to the earle of meath , sir robert farrer , collonell john barry , serjeant major john oagle , every one in the severall ranks and orders . then followed foure divisions of foot , each consisting of three hundred . the artillery and ammunition followed . then two troops of horse by sir richard greenvile , after him lievtenant devalier . and the lord ormund marched in the reere . on the left hand there lay of the rebels , the lord mountgarrat , earle of care , and colonell hugh birne : against them marched sir iohn sherlocke , lieutenant collonell of the lord lambarts regiment , lievtenant collonel lofins , serjeant major vvarren , serjant maior pageat , seriant maior vvilloughby and encountred very sharply with them , and slew three hundred and seventy rebels , and the rest fled . they have taken waterford , arkloo , washford , and some other towns , but we hope to recover them very suddenly . and when more happy fortune , and convenient successe shall be given us , i will transport the truth thereof unto you . in the meane time , i beseech you to accept the affectionate love of , from athy , may 14. 1642. your most indulgent friend , john barry . the humble petition of the baronets , esquires , ministers , gentlemen , freeholders , and others peaceably affected in the county palatine of lancaster . shewing to your sacred majesty , ovr heart-breaking sense and sorrow for the unhappy rents and dstractions in your majesties dominions , especially in the session of so grave and godly an assembly , ( most graciously conveened by your majesty ) endeavouring the glory of almighty god in the reformation of religion , and the honour and weale of your majesty , and your realms , in setling and securing your royall throne in plenty & peace . but perceiving the long and remote distance of your majesty from that honourable assembly , to have distracted the hearts of your good subjects , and animated the popish and malignant party amongst us , and fearing it may expose us to the danger and fury of a forraigne foe , retard the setling of the weighty affaires in our land , and the subduing of the rebels in ireland ; and finding your majesties late resolution for that expedition , to threaten danger to your royall person , farre more worth then ten thousand of us . we therefore your majesties most loyall subjects out of our zeale to gods true religion , your majesties honour and safety , and the peace and welfare of your dominions ; and out of the deepe sense and apprehension of our interest in the same , do in all humility present and prostrate our selves , and supplication at your royall feet , beseeching your majesty to return to your great councell ( there presentative body of your kingdome ) in whom this nation hath so farre confided , that they have intrusted them with their lives , liberties ; and in which multitude of counsellours there is health and stedfastnesse , and whereby the royall throne may be established in righteousnesse , and we with the rest of your faithfull subjects shall continually praise and pray for your prosperous and happy raigne over us . at the court at , yorke the 10 of may , 1642. his majestie hath expressely commanded me to give you this his answer to your petition . that this petion , as some others of this nature is grounded upon mis-information , and being grieved and highly essended to see how his good people have been and are abused by the false rumors and intelligences , which have procured , causlesse feares and apprehensions , referres the petitioners to the answers hee hath given to the declaration presented to him at now market , and to the petition presented to him the 26. of march last at yorke , wherein his majesty saith , you will clearely perceive , that he is not gone , but driven from his parliament : his majesty likewise , for your further information of his proceedings and intentions , recommends to your view and consideration , his two messages , and declaration concerning hull , and his message touching the reasons of his refusall to grant the militia , all which , when they shall be fully represented to the rest of your county , he doubts not , but that you will rest very well satisfied of his consent and resolution for the maintaining of , and governing his people by the law of the land , his unmoveable resolution for the maintenance and defence of the true protestant profession , and the suppression of the barbarous irish rebellion , and his majesty saith , that he believes you may then finde reason to petition the parliament to comply with his majesties just desires , and gracious offers , which is the only way safely and speedily to cure , the present distractions of this kingdom , and with gods blessing to put a happy end to the irish rebellion : for the effecting whereof , as his maiesty hath often said , he will neither spare paines , nor decline any hazzard of his person or fortune . edward nicholas . finis .
