SIR

SInce
many
idle
rumours
are
divulged
among

,
concerning
the
present
condition
of
Ireland
,
some
of
which
are
improbable
,
other
are
so
doubtfull
,
that
men
have
just
cause
of
suspition
not
to
believe
.
My
purpose
is
therefore
at
this
time
intended
perfectly
to
resolve
you
of
the
truest
affaires
,
and
most
reall
estate
of
all
Ireland
.
The
Lord

,
the

,
the

,

,
Quarter-master
Generall

,
under
the

of

,
every

with
their

forces
overcame
the
Castle
Tippar
,
which
the
Rebel
had
possest
,
taking
from
thence
great
stone
of
Ammunition
,
who
marching
onwards
with
great
courage
to
Kiltullin
,
burned
by
the
way
many
Villages
of
the
Rebels
;
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

,
and
100.
Horse
,
the

,
where
the

●●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

:
Marching
onwards
,
wee
killed
threescore

,
the
other
fled
,
and
yeelded
up

Shewing
to

,
OVr
heart-breaking
sense
and
sorrow
for
the
unhappy
Rents

of
so
grave

godly
an

(

endeavouring
the

But
perceiving
the
long
and
remote
distance
of
your

from

Honourable
Assembly
,
to
have
distracted
the
hearts
of
your
good

,
and
animated
the
Popish

malignant
party
amongst

,
and
fearing

the
danger
and
fury
of
a
forraigne
foe
,
retard
the
setling
of
the
weighty

;
and
finding
your

to

farre
more
worth

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

speedily
to
cure

the
present
distractions
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
with
Gods
blessing

he
will
neither
spare
paines
,
nor
decline
any
hazzard
of
his
Person
or
