ON Friday about five or six at night, came three Gentlemen into the Tower to speak with Sir John Coniers, Lieutenant of the said Royall Castle and Magazine. He not being then within, one of the Gentlemen requested of the Yeoman-Usher, that if he knew he were neere about, he will doe him the favour to intimate unto him that there were some attending him which had businesse from the King: the yeoman usher caused the message to be delivered unto the Lieutenant of the Tower, where in a gentlemans house upon the hill he then was. The Lieutenant forthwith came; and in the meane time they got into their company, Master Binian long since committed for denying to submit unto the new order of Militia: they met the Lieutenant upon the Hill: and one of the three (as it seeemes, a Messenger) delivered a Warrant under the Great Seale of England unto him, saying, The King greets you Sir. The Lieutenant demanded whom or what it might concerne; it was answered by the Messenger, the speedy and present release of Master Binian, for [Page] whom his Majestie had sent and must goe along with him the Lieutenant desired some houres space to consider of it, it was answered him that he could not grant it, having expresse charge to the contrary, and for that to take any delay, for an utter denyall. Then the Lieutenant would have spoken a word in private with another Gentleman there present, who excusing himselfe denyed it, desiring his ready answer, and to conceive what perill might or might not accrue unto himselfe upon the refusall. Upon those words, putting off their hats as taking leave; why quoth the Lieutenant (opening the Warrant and reading it, and once moving a little his head) then I obey, you may take him with you, and God blesse you all. So Master Binian agreeing for his fees, forthwith takes horse and towards Yorke.

Had not Master Binian made such speedy dispatch he had haply seene Coulchester before Thursday, and a worshipfull Citizen of London mude up in a Countie Gaole: What thankes and commendation the hononrable House shall thinke the Lieutenant worthy of for so speedy an execution of his Majesties command is not yet knowne.

Saturday morning the commission of Admiralty was taken from the Lord of Northumberland, and the Register with all other officers summoned to give their personall presence at Yorke.

Sunday the Kings Declaration was read in the Cathedrall of Pauls, where the first and second lessons are usually read; the reader where of turning himselfe unto the Communion Table, all men were commanded to stand up and to be uncovered.

[Page] Munday morning my Lord of Salisbury gave notice that the King hath taken away his commission of being Captaine of the Pensioners: And my Lord of Leicester is discharged from his Lieutenantship of Ireland: A message will be sent to the Earle of Warwick to forbeare the Kings Ships, three Captaines with their ships revolted from him, viz. Cap. Price, Cap. Stragling, Sir John M [...]nce.

Mr Thomas Barom, Esquire, his Relation of the state of Bandonbridge in Ireland, and the places adjacent: who arrived at Bristow, June 28. being Tuesday, and came thence into London on Saturday, July the 2. 1642.

THis Gentleman saith, that since the death of Sir Win Saint Leger, Lord President of Munster, who departed this life, June 17. at his Plantation and Castle of Downaray; the chiefest ground of his sicknesse being thought to be nothing so much as discontent, having had no supplies either of monies or men out of England as he expected, and his need required: The Rebels began to grow very insolent in all those parts, have fired Clannakeltie, and pillaged all the English in that English Market Borough. Colonel Charles Davasor not being able to relieve them, lest he should hazard Corke; the Lord Presidents death not unlikely encouraging them to some daring attempt. [Page] Charles, Macke Cartie, Reuth, appeared before Bandon bridge, June the nineteenth and twentieth, very boldly, and daringly with eight thousand Rebels, three little Field Pieces, and made shew of a resolution to sit downe about the town, wherewith the Inhabitants are very much amazed; for the Garrison under the command of my Lord Killan Meakei, and his Lieutenant Graves, is but foure hundred; all English, and most Townesmen: who by reason of the change of their wonted ordinary diet and lodging, now being forced to make meat of what they can get, not what they would have, and bound almost to nightly watching, are many of them falne into the disease of the Countrey, viz. the Flux, and die twelve or fourteene a week: So that without speedy reliefe, that towne (the fairest Plantation in all Munster) is like to be lost through disease and hunger: For this Gentleman affirmeth, (who perfectly knoweth the place, having lived within sixe miles of it above fifteene yeeres) that although Mack Cartie being of no force in ammunition considerable to take it by assault, most of his rabble being very ill armed, and Bandon very strongly fortified, yet he may starve them without being Master of the field, and all the Countrie about; and the maladie waxing strong (being held in that Countrie of an infecting and contagious nature soone make their number grow small within. This Gentleman Master Barom, hath a Petition to deliver unto the honourable House, as touching the inconvenience, and as future; as present, as fatall to the child, as now unto the Father, by this new way [Page] of undertaking, shall it not please the House in seasonable time to put a remedy unto it: for the lands of the English being now all the countrey over seised by the Rebels, and in processe of time (which God grant with all speed) the Rebels being vanquished, and their lands by the undertakers divided amongst them, according unto the proportion of their severall summes of money by them disbursed, the said lands are now to be divided of all and entire by the Rebels, and not any part of them belonging at all unto the poore distressed English: and so they shall be in as bad a case for matter of livelihood after the conquest, as before; considering that in the Act newly made by both the honourable Houses, and confirmed by his Majesty, there is no mention had of them: So that they are out of all hope of ever recovering any thing in that Kingdom that was ever their owne, shall not the high Court of Parliament with all conveniencie take them into accustomed tender consideration.

Mac Fynnen of Glanerogh, his Countrimens lamentation for him, being slaine at Black-water, by the Lo: Presidents Troops. June 10. 1642.

THE DIRGE.

OFinnen Mac Donnell Mac Finnen a Cree,

Why didst thou Crammacree come from Kerree?

Twas to shew thy walliour, dou walliant young man,

Surnamed of some to be Captaine Soogan.

[Page] To wordy dow vast of such a brave name,

But tis no great matter, thy deeds show the same.

Dow foughte like a warriour and onely didst shew,

Dow vast te best souldier of all te great crew.

Dow foughtest like a sou [...]dier, and dying didst fight,

Whilst those that should help dee all took dem to flight.

Thy Generall Barry of three pounds a day,

With armed Lord Muskry, did both run away.

And so did Mack Finnen of Cala hane,

Not wordy hereafter to eate

Cheese made of Buttermilk.

Mola hane.

Mack Cartie, Mack Donnagh, Mack Swinnins and all,

Did run from the battell, and let deir Armes fall.

We Corke men bewaile dee, but yet for dy glory,

Tink heaven to have puld dee from Purgatorie.

Den Fynnen, Mac Donnell, Mack Fynnen farewell,

For all our Priests sweare dow art not in hell.

This Mack Fynnen was offered quarter by Captain Lindie: who prizing his valour, & perf [...]ctly knowing his friends of what great quality they were of at Corke, promised him to use him like a Gentleman, would [...]e yeeld and submit to the King: hee curs [...]ng in Irish his fellowes that ran away, answered him in English, thnt he scorned either: and presently charging upon foot with his sword and pistoll into Captaine Lindies Front, was there slaine: By his order brought to Corke, and by his mediation unto the President, permitted to be buried after the request of his friends.

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
