HIs Majestie having seene a Printed Paper, entituled, A Question answered how Lawes are to be vnderstood and obedience yeelded; (which Paper He sends together which this Message think, fit to re [...]ommend the consideration of it to His House of Peers, that they may use all possible care and diligence for the finding out the Authour, and m [...]y give directions to His learned Councell, to proceed against Him and the Publishers of it, in such a way as shal be agreable to Law and the course of justice, as Persons who indeavour to stir up Sedition against his Majestie; And His Majesty doubts not but they will be very sensible how much their own particular Interest (as well as the Publike government of the Kingdom) is, and must be shaken, if such licence shall be permitted to bold factious spirits to withdraw His Subjects strict obedience from the Laws established by such Seditious and Treasonable distinctions. And of Doctrines of this nature, His Majesties doubts not but that their Lordships will publish their great dislike, it being growne into frequent Discourse, and vented in some Pulpits by those desperate turbulent Preachers who are the great Promoters of the distempers of this time) That human Laws doe not binde the Conscience: which being once beleeved▪ the civill Government and peace of the Kingdom will be quickly dissolved▪ His Majestie exspects a speeche account of their Lordships exmplary justice upon the Authors and publishers of this Paper.

IF there were ever found deadly enemies to true Christian Religion, they are now found out in Ireland; that Mother of all treachery, and Nurse of Treason, as may appear by this ensuing Relation following.

Upon the 17. day of this present Moneth, the Lord Montgarret, and the great [Page] [...] [Page] [...] [Page] Rebell Mac-Davo, drew their forces together to the number of 14000, intending to give battle against Captain Marro; by reason he had besieged the strong Castle of Bellon in the Neweries: they having intelligence, that he was but 900 strong, having with them but only three peeces of Ordnance, he had given three great assaults against the aforesaid Castle, and mounted his Ordnance in three severall places, being furnished with Cannoncers of great note; Upon the 18. day of this month he gave the fourth Assault against the said Castle; where after three hours fight, the Castle yeelded, putting all that were therin to the sword, being in number 300. he then entred the Castle, taking great▪ store of good pillage and ammunition, planting his three Pieces on the said Castle, having intelligence that the Lord Mongarret, and Mack-Davo were intended to give battle against them, being 7. miles off. Sir Henry Tichbourn having received a Letter from Captain Marro that he had takeu the Castle, and that [Page] the aforesaid Rebels were resolved to assault him, hasted to him with all speed, with 1700. men, and being within half a mile of the Castle, caused his Drums to beat up, Captain Marro hearing the same, sent out Lieutenant Johnson with 200. to meet them, to know what they were, and approaching neer them, Sir Henry sent to him, to tell him what his intents were, that he was resolved to withdraw back til he saw the Enemy approach neer the Castle; wherupon Lieutenant Johnson returned back to his Captain, relating to him the policy of Sir Henry, this was upon the 19. of this month, in the morning; and about two of the clock in the afternoon, the Rebels marched towards the Castle, besieging it, and having set their men in four Battalions, began to play against the Castle, Captain Marro answering them couragiously, playing with his Ordnance so thick against them, that there were slain of the Rebels in the first fiering 300. men, of our side 18. after some cessation they fell too't again, the battle [Page] continuing very hot, being doubtfull on both sides, till Sir Henry approached and fell on sending 200. men to give battle against the Enemy on the left slanck, if they had attempted to passe by on the right slank, of those that were in fight, he sent secretly by the Hils (where there was a hollow distance) 500. men to charge them in their Front, which amazed the Enemy much, he himselfe falling on with the rest of the Army, Captain Marro still playing against them with most unheard of courage, who after the space of 13. houres fight, the enemy was forced to retire, Sir Henry and Captaine Marro hath also taken 5. other Castles in the Neweries, and put many of the Rebels to the Sword, the last weeke, it is thought they will begin with the great Castle called Newery Castle the next.

Loving Brother.

ON the 14. of this month, I received your Letter, being sorry to hear such bad news from you; and wheras you writ to me, to send you word how passages went with us here, I thought it convenient, to send you these Occurrences, following.

Vpon the 17. of this present month, there was a great and bloudy battell in the Neweries, fought between 3000. men of our side, under the Command of Sir Henrie Tichbourn, Sir Charles Coot, and Captain Marro, against 10000. of the Rebels, conducted by the great Rebel Mondormo, and after a long and tedious Battel, they put the Rebels to flight, kild 2000. of them, and wounded the Lord Mondormo: of our side were slain 400. they are intended to fight a pitcht Battel about the 25. day of this month. We had tydings brought to our Army, April 12. that Sir Philomy O-Neal hath got a great army, intending to give Battel against us in the Neweries. Captain Marro [Page] received a Letter from Colonel Gore, in the North of Ireland, relating how they had defeated six Regiments of the rebels forces, but my Lord of Munster hath had some losse there.

So I rest your loving Brother J. Gilbert.

Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, that the Lord Howard of Char, shall attend upon the King, and present some Reasons unto His Majesty.

John Brown Cler. Parl.

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).
