A fuller Relation of a great VICTORY OBTAINED Against the Welsh Forces , by Col: Tho: Horton , one of the Lord General Fairfax's Colonels ; where was taken Three thousand Prisoners , all their Foot-Arms and Ammunition , Major General Stradling , many Colours , and many Officers and Soldiers .
As it was sent in a Letter by Col: Tho: Horton , and read in the Honorable House of Commons . SIR ,

AFter many tedious , hungry and wet marches over the steep and craggy Mountains , it pleased God that we were engaged with the Enemy ( who accounted themselves near Eight thousand Horse and Foot ) upon Monday morning the Eighth of this instant , betwixt St. Fagans and Peterstown ; where after a sharp dispute for near two hours , it pleased the Lord mightily to appear for us , in giving the Enemy a Total Rout ; The particulars thereof , I shall within a short time at large present you with . There are many slain of the Enemy upon the place ; and in the pursuit for Seven miles , we cannot yet hear of one of our Officers slain , and but few of the Soldiers , but we lost many Horses . I guess the Prisoners which are taken to be Three thousand ; we have taken all their Foot-Arms , and Ammunition , which is good store : Major General Stradling is taken , with many Officers and Gentlemen , and many Colours . It pleased God wonderfully to strengthen and raise up the Spirits of our Officers and Soldiers : Our word was , God is our Strength ; and truly we found him so to be , and desire the sole Glory may be given to him , and our selves look'd upon as weak Instruments in his hand ; and amongst whom , as I am , so I desire to be accounted , who am ,

In the Field , May 8. 1648. Sir , Your most humble and faithful Servant , Tho: Horton .

I have sent Major Bethel and Captain Mercer to give the Honorable Houses a more full account of this days mercy .

11. Maij , 1648.

ORdered by the Commons assembled in Parliament , That this Letter be forthwith Printed and Published .
