Relation

Irish
Occurrences
,
from
the
twelfth
of
Febr.
to

1641.
THis
day
the
Lord
●●●bert
marched
out
to
the
Deanes
Grange
five
miles
from
Dublin
(
with
some
horse
and
foote
)
where
were
a
great
multitude
of
the
Rebels
,
who
had
great
advantage
of
our
men
both
of
the
ground
and
great
Ditches
,
which
at
the
first
onset
shewed
some
courage
to
fight
,
but
after
twice
discharge
the
Rebells
betooke
themselves
to
their
heeles
,
where
our
men
slew
many
of
them
;
and
in
one
Company
we
slew
one
Captaine
,
one
Lieutenant
,
and
one
Corporall
,
tooke
12.
or
14.
Prisoners
,
one
of
which
was
a
Commander
,
they
had
sixe
Collours
but
all
fled
.
February
14.
This
day
here
were
hanged
seven
Rebells
,
and
the
eighth
had
the
Rope
about
his
neck
upon
the
ladder
;
he
made
a
Speech
,
that
his
life
or
death
was
worth
nothing
,
but
if
his
life
might
be
spared
,
he
would
doe
that
service
which
should
be
worth
a
hundred
of
his
life
,
or
else
let
him
suffer
,
upon
which
he
was
for
this
time
preserved
,
to
make
tryall
of
his
good
service
,
which
if
hee
did
not
performe
,
hee
must
goe
to
the
Gibbet
from
whence
he
came
.
February
15.
This
day
a
Rebell
one
of
their
Commanders
was
brought
in
,
who
on
the
Sabboth
before
drinking
with
the
rest
of
his
wicked
Companions
,
made
a
vow
that
the
first
English
he
met
with
whatsoever
,
he
would
kill
and
wash
his
hands
in
their
bloud
,
which
he
did
the
next
day
meeting
with
a
woman
,
but
being
neare
Dublin
,
some
of
our
Scots
accidentally
met
with
him
&
brought
him
to
our
City
,
and
upon
examination
he
confessed
his
cruell
Murder
,
and
this
day
he
was
hanged
for
the
same
,
as
hee
justly
deserved
.
This
day
more
pr●●●sion
and
men
are
sent
to
succour
Tredaugh
,
the
Lord
in
mercy
send
them
safe
to
them
.
We
heard
that
Sir
Henry
Tichborne
sallyed
out
of
Tredagh
,
and
tooke
a
good
booty
of
Cowes
,
Corne
,
and
Hay
,
which
we
hope
is
true
,
but
it
came
to
us
by
the
Popish
Rebells
,
otherwise
we
cannot
heare
from
Tredagh
by
land
.
We
heare
that
the
Lord
President
of
Munster
hath
recovered
Clomell
out
of
the
Rebells
hands
,
and
hath
hanged
the
Major
,
and
two
or
three
Aldermen
of
that
Towne
,
for
their
Rebellion
which
is
here
credibly
reported
to
bee
true
.
February
22.
This
day
we
heare
that
the
Lord
of
Musgra
,
and
the
Lord
Rouch
are
revolted
from
us
and
joyned
with
the
Rebells
in
the
County
of
Corke
;
and
that
our
Lord
president
of
Munster
is
forced
to
goe
into
Corke
for
his
safety
,
but
if
there
bee
a
supply
of
men
and
munition
from
Bristoll
,
as
wee
heare
and
hope
there
is
,
I
doe
not
doubt
(
by
the
Lords
assistance
)
but
that
they
will
bee
supprest
in
a
short
time
:
Musgra
and
Rouch
have
two
fine
Countries
,
and
good
Land
,
which
I
trust
in
God
will
be
hereafter
planted
with
true
hearted
English
,
it
is
a
Country
of
a
large
extent
,
land
enough
for
many
thousands
.
February
22.
We
heare
that
the
Rebells
have
besieged
the
City
of
Cork
,
Kingsale
,
and
Bandonbridge
,
and
it
is
to
be
feared
is
too
true
:
but
our
confidence
is
in
our
good
God
the
Lord
of
Hosts
.
This
day
here
is
landed
a
second
supply
of
strength
both
horse
and
foot
:
and
we
heare
and
hope
of
more
comming
,
which
by
the
gracious
assistance
of
our
good
God
,
wee
hope
Ireland
will
be
new
moulded
both
in
Church
and
Common-wealth
.
February
23.
This
day
more
men
landed
here
,
with
whom
one
Colonell
Brimigham
,
a
popish
Colonell
came
and
landed
,
but
he
was
discovered
,
taken
and
committed
to
the
Castle
.
This
night
some
of
our
forces
purposeth
some
exployts
,
the
Lord
in
mercy
prosper
their
enterprises
,
and
send
them
safe
returne
with
victory
and
honour
.
February
24.
This
day
wee
heare
our
men
,
some
foot
and
horse
went
the
last
night
to
Kilestone
;
and
by
the
way
found
two
of
our
Towne
that
went
to
give
the
enemy
notice
of
their
comming
to
them
,
which
were
both
hanged
,
as
they
justly
deserved
.
This
night
our
men
returned
back
to
Dublin
(
blessed
be
God
)
and
have
done
good
service
;
wee
forced
the
enemy
out
of
their
Trenches
,
out
of
the
wood
adjoyning
to
the
Castle
;
in
which
wood
they
had
intrenched
themselves
,
also
took
from
them
two
Barrells
of
powder
,
and
one
Barrell
of
shot
,
with
500.
weight
of
match
,
killed
many
of
them
that
were
without
the
Castle
,
but
could
not
get
the
Castle
,
because
wee
had
no
battering
Peeces
there
,
but
all
that
could
not
get
into
the
Castle
betook
themselves
to
their
heeles
and
ran
away
;
onely
such
as
were
laid
fast
by
death
,
and
could
not
run
away
.
And
we
hope
to
visite
them
ere
long
in
another
manner
.
February
28.
This
day
our
men
are
returned
from
victualling
of
Tredagh
(
blessed
be
God
,
and
have
had
a
good
successe
;
the
enemy
had
made
a
mighty
Chaine
of
Iron
with
Boats
,
which
they
had
sunke
in
the
River
:
but
such
was
the
gracious
providence
of
our
blessed
God
,
that
the
night
before
our
prevision
was
to
goe
up
,
to
send
such
a
mighty
Tide
,
which
broke
the
Chain
,
so
that
it
was
no
hindrance
to
our
passage
:
they
had
placeda
th●●
peeces
of
Ordnance
upon
the
passage
,
but
upon
the
discharge
of
our
Pinnices
the
Rebels
ran
away
from
their
peeces
,
and
our
men
have
taken
the
three
peeces
;
and
part
of
the
Chaine
.
I
saw
the
Chaine
in
the
Castle
of
Dublin
,
which
wanted
no
strength
,
but
it
was
the
powerfull
worke
of
our
good
God
,
to
whom
let
us
ascribe
al
praise
and
glory
to
hi●
blessed
Majesty
for
ever
.
I
could
write
of
many
other
passages
,
but
because
of
the
uncertainty
of
them
I
omit
,
for
my
desire
is
to
write
nothing
upon
uncertainty
:
for
I
am
ashamed
to
see
some
things
in
print
,
as
that
of
birds
and
apparitions
in
the
ayre
to
be
seen
here
at
Dublin
is
most
false
.
The
newes
we
heard
of
Sir
Henry
Tychborne
issuing
out
of
the
Town
of
Tredagh
,
is
most
certain
,
he
brought
in
above
eighty
Cowes
,
one
hundred
Sheep
,
Corne
and
Hay
,
but
with
much
difficulty
:
For
the
enemy
beset
them
Front
and
Reare
;
yet
blessed
be
God
our
men
got
safe
into
the
Towne
with
their
pilladge
.
March
the
3.
This
night
our
men
purpose
to
march
out
upon
the
enemy
,
the
Lord
in
mercy
prosper
their
intentions
,
and
send
them
good
successe
,
and
a
victorious
returne
.
They
carry
with
them
ten
peeces
,
five
small
and
five
great
,
but
our
trust
is
in
the
Lord
of
Hosts
the
giver
of
all
victory
,
to
whom
we
pray
for
his
blessed
assistance
,
and
gracious
protection
.
But
of
this
event
I
will
,
God
inabling
me
,
write
in
my
next
:
for
the
packet
is
to
goe
in
the
morning
from
hence
.
This
day
we
heare
that
our
men
at
Bandonbridge
did
sally
out
of
the
Town
upon
the
enemy
,
and
slew
105.
of
them
,
and
the
rest
ran
away
.
We
lost
not
one
man
,
and
onely
one
man
shot
in
the
leg
,
in
which
,
as
all
other
,
we
may
behold
the
gracious
goodnes
of
our
good
God
towards
us
.
We
heare
that
Sir
H.
Tychborn
the
last
week
marched
out
of
Tredagh
,
and
slew
many
of
the
Rebells
,
the
rest
ran
away
,
so
that
the
Rebells
have
no
hope
to
get
that
Towne
.
Sir
Henry
sent
to
the
rebellious
Lords
of
the
Pale
,
that
they
should
send
in
the
Countrey
to
the
Market
with
provision
,
otherwise
hee
would
send
for
what
he
wanted
,
and
take
the
rest
from
them
.
I
heard
it
from
a
good
hand
,
and
I
doubt
not
of
the
truth
of
it
,
for
which
the
Lord
make
us
thankfull
,
as
for
al
other
his
wonderfull
mercies
towards
us
.
Your
loving
Father
,
William
Bladen
