<P>SInce the late blow given to the Marq. of <HI>Ormond</HI> by Lieut.

<PB N="2" REF="3"> places; but the rai&s;ing of the &s;iege, and defeating that potent power is joyfully re&s;cented by many. We have received another expre&s;s from thence, which intimates, that the D. of <HI>Lorraign</HI> hath landed 3000 hor&s;e in <HI>Ireland,</HI> and that a conjunction is de&s;igned by them with 7000 Scots under the Lord of Ards, 3000 Iri&s;h commanded by the Earle of <HI>Clanrickard,</HI> 7000 of the Spani&s;h Faction commanded by Gen. <HI>Oneal,</HI> 1400 hor&s;e commanded by L. <HI>Incihiquin,</HI> and the 13000 of <HI>Ormonds</HI> that e&s;caped at the la&s;t fight; all which (it is &s;aid) intend a Randezvouz neer <HI>Kilkenny,</HI> who being bodyed, will make an Army of 30000 and upwards, and may probably much indanger our friends in <HI>Dublin,</HI> if a con&s;iderable &s;upply be not &s;peedily &s;ent over to them.</P>

<HEAD>By an Expre&s;se further from <HI>Ireland.</HI></HEAD>
<P>On Thur&s;day thr &s;econd we di&s;covered a party of the e|nemies, draw to Baggot&s;trath, about 1500 foot, be&s;ides hou&s;es. We found a nece&s;&s;ity for removing them, and &s;eeing the nearne&s;&s;e of the enemies camp at Rathmines (le&s;&s;e then a mile from Baggot&s;iath) where they might be readily relieved with great force as occa&s;ion might require therefore did I advance with &s;o much a greater &s;trength, about twelve hundred hor&s;e and four thou&s;and foot.</P>
<P>The enemies work at Baggot&s;iath we &s;oon entred, yet not without &s;trong di&s;pute: mo&s;t of the enemies foot there were &s;lain and taken, their hor&s;e having de&s;erted them after the fir&s;t charge.</P>
<P>Our hor&s;e and foot pur&s;uin their advantage, we became at la&s;t wholly engaged with their whole army, whom after two houres fight we totally routed.</P>
<P>We &s;lew in the place, and in the cha&s;e, about 400 and
<PB N="3" REF="3"> 2500 and 17 pri&s;oners, mo&s;t of them Inchequins Engli&s;h, and of our run awayes, we got one whole Canon, three Demi&punc;Canons; one long &s;quare gun, carrying a Ball of 12 pound, one Saker drake, and one Morter piece, (all the&s;e Braffe) and &s;ome Train carriages, and about 200 draught Oxen for the Train.</P>
<P>The &s;trength of the enemy, was by them&s;elves &s;ince ac|knowledged 19000; Ormond narrowly e&s;caped. Of our men there are not 20 mi&s;&s;ing, many wounded. The greate&s;t lo&s;s fel on the hor&s;e, wherein my Regiment hath much &s;uf|fered, wherein I humbly de&s;ire may be con&s;idered.</P>
<P>This work is the Lords doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes: By who&s;e e&s;peciall providence of it was that we &s;hould thus engage, we our &s;elves fir&s;t not far intending it: Neither did the enemy expect our &s;o doing; nor would they have willingly engaged with us, if it might have been by them avoided, they re&s;erving them&s;elves for the coming up of Clanrickard with his connaght forces, about 3000. and the Lord of Ardes with &s;even thou&s;and all rerdy for marching: <HI>Inchiquin</HI> al&s;o being looked for, who had the week before gone towards Mun&s;ter, with two Regiments of hor&s;e, for appea&s;ing &s;ome &s;tirrings there, by Oweh Roe, rai&s;ed in his ab&s;ence. Never was any day in Ireland like this, to the confu&s;ion of the Iri&s;h, and to the rai&s;ing up the &s;pirits of the poor Engli&s;h, and to the re&s;toring of the Englii&s;h intere&s;t, which from their fir&s;t footing in Ireland was never in &s;o low a condition, as at that very in&s;tant being in &s;o low a condition, as at that very in&s;tant there not being any one con&s;iderable place left you, but this alone, and this al&s;o (without the Lords timely and mo&s;t gracious good|ne&s;&s;e and providence to us almo&s;t gone.</P>

<P>FIr&s;t, that prevailing party of Sectaries of England, who have broken the Covenant, and de&s;pi&s;ed the Oath of God, corrupted the truth, &s;ubverted the fundamentall Government, by King and Parliament, and taken away the life; look upon us with an evill eye, as upon tho&s;e who &s;tand in the way of their mon&s;trous and new-fingled devi|ces, in Religion and Government, and though there were no cau&s;e to fear any thing for that party, but the Gangrene and infection of tho&s;e many damnable and abominahle er|rors, which have taken hold on them, yet our vicinity unto and dayly to commerce with that nation, may ju&s;tly make us afraid that the Lord may give up many in this land un|to a &s;pirit of delu&s;ion, to beleeve lyes, becau&s;e they have not received the love of truth.</P>
<P>Secondly, Nejther is the Malignant party &s;o far broken and brought low, as that they have abandoned all hopes of carrying on their former de&s;ignes again&s;t the Covenant, and work of Reformation, be&s;ides many of them in this Kingdom who are as Foxes tyde in chaines, keeping in evil<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> nature, and waiting opportunity to break their cords, an<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> again to prey upon the Lords people. That the &s;tan+ding Armies in Ireland, under the command of the Marq. of Ormond, the Lord Inchiqueen, the Lord of Airds, and George Munroe, who forgetting the horrible cruelty that was exerci&s;ed by the Iri&s;h and Engli&s;h Nations in that Land, have entred into a Peace and a&s;&s;ociation with them, that they may the more ea&s;ily carry on the old de&s;ign of the Popi&s;h, Prelatical and Malignant party, and the Lord of Airds, and George Munroe, have by treachery and op|pre&s;&s;ion, brought the Province of Ul&s;ter, and Garri&s;ons therein, under their power and command, and have redac|ted our Country-men, and &s;uch as adhere unto the Cove|nant
<PB N="5" REF="4"> and cau&s;e of God in that P<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ovince unto many mi&s;eries and &s;traits, and are like to bani&s;h the Mini&s;ters of the Go&s;|pell, and to overturn the&s;e fair beginnings of the worke of God, which were unto many a branch of hope, that the Lord meant to make Ireland a plea&s;ant Land.</P>
<P>Thirdly, But which is more grievous unto us then all the&s;e, our King notwith&s;tanding of the Lords hand, again&s;t his fathers oppo&s;ition to the work of God, and bearing down all tho&s;e in the three Kingdomes, by which it is come to pa&s;&s;e, that his Maje&s;ty hath hitherto refu&s;ed to grant the ju&s;t and nece&s;&s;ary de&s;ires of this Kirk and Kingdom, which were tendred unto him from the Commi&s;&s;ioners of both for &s;ecuring of Religion, the liberties of the Subject, his <HI>Mai.</HI> Government, and the peace of the Kingdom; and it is much to be feared that tho&s;e wicked Councellours may &s;o far prevail upon him in his tender years, as to engage him in a War for ouerturning (if i<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter"> be po&s;&s;ible) of the Work of God, and bearing down all tho&s;e in the three Kingdoms that adhere thereto, which if he &s;hall do, cannot but bring great wrath from the Lord upon him&s;elf and his Throne, and mu&s;t be the cau&s;e of many new and great mi&s;eries and ca|lamities to the&s;e Lands.</P>
<P>And albeit the Lands be involved in many difficulties and compa&s;sed about with great and imminent dangers; yet there is hope and ground of con&s;olation concerning this thing; the Lord is in the mid&s;t of us, and we are called by his name, our ears hear the joyfull &s;ound of the Go&s;pell, add our eyes &s;ee our Teachers. We behold the arm of the Lord &s;tretched out daily in working &s;alvation for his peo|ple, and an&s;wering their de&s;ires upon their enemies, by ter|rible things in righteou&s;ne&s;&s;e; although we be few in num|ber,
<PB N="6" REF="5"> yet the Lord of Ho&s;ts is with us, and in the power of his &s;trength we &s;hall be able to prevaile; although our land be filled with &s;in, yet we have not been for&s;aken of the Lord our God, but he hath always had compa&s;&s;ion upon us, and delivered us in all our di&s;tre&s;&s;e; although &s;ome of under&s;tanding fal, it is bot to try, and to purge, and to make white even to the end, becau&s;e it is yet for a time appointed although many cleave to us by flatteries, yet there be a remnant who keep their integrity, and the Lord &s;hall do good to tho&s;e that be good; but &s;uch as turn afide to croo|ked ways, &s;hall be led forth with the workers of iniqui|ty.</P>
<P>The Lords poople in England and Ireland, who adhere to the cau&s;e and covenant, may be perplexed, but &s;hall not de&s;|pair, they may be per&s;ecuted but &s;hall not be for&s;aken; they may be ca&s;t down but &s;hall not be de&s;troyed; and although uniformity and the work of Reformation in the&s;e hands &s;eem not only to be retarded, but almo&s;t pluekt up by the roots, and the foundation thereof razed; yet the &s;eed which the Lord hath &s;owen there, &s;hall again take root down|ward, and bear fruit upward, the zeal of the Lord of Ho&s;ts &s;hall perform this.</P>
