AN EXACT RELATION Of a Battell fought by the Lord Moore, againſt the Rebels in Ireland; with the number that were ſlain on both ſides.

THE Lord Moore hearing of the Rebellion of the Papiſts; ſent for all his Tennants, and asked them, if they would aſſiſt him in ſuppreſſing of the Rebels; their anſwer was, they would be ready at all times, to venture their lives, for their King, him, and their Countrey: His Lordſhips anſwer was, he was very thankfull to them for their faithfulneſſe to his Majeſty, and alſo for their faithfulneſſe to him, and to their Coun­trey; and if they would aſſiſt him, he would by the 30. of October provide Arms for them; and he would go finde out ſome of the Rebels, who did much ſpoyl all the Countrey their abouts; their anſwer was, with all their hearts they would aſſiſt him, to the uttermoſt of6 their lives, and fortunes promiſing all to attend him on the 29. of October.

In the mean time, the Conſpirators hearing of my Lord Moores deſign upon them, they made themſelves two thou­ſand ſtrong; intending to take my Lord Moore in his houſe, and to ca•ry him away priſoner; and to ſeize upon all his Munition, and to take his hundred horſe, that he had then in readineſſe: he having notice of their coming, ſent poſt f•r all his friends, and Tennants; for that he was before their coming furniſht with a thouſand men, but had not g•tten in Arms for half of them: The Rebels drew neer his houſe, to the number of two thouſand, with Drums, and Colours diſplaid before them. My Lord Moore ſeeing them ſo n•er, thought it not wiſedome to let the Rebels beſiege him in his houſe; therefore he marcht out to meet with them, and having met with them in a narrow paſſage, which went to hi•houſe, a Rock being on one ſide, and a River on the oth•r ſide; he placed his horſe in the Front; where began a very ſmart fight between them; but the Re­bels ſtill preſt to gain the p•ſſage to his houſe; which they with much adoe gained: ſo that by that m•ans, the Lord Moores Horſe could ſta•d him in no ſtead; n•ither was he able to charge them any more with his Foot; ſo that he was forſt to march to a City three miles of.

The number of the Rebels ſlain in this fight, was three hundred; the number of the otherſide ſlain, was forty; th•n the Rebels entered the Lord Moores houſe, and took all that they found in it, and killed up all his Cattell; and pillaged his Tennants houſes, and deſtroyed all th•ir Cat­tell round about.

The chief Commander of the Rebels is, Sir Patrick Oneal, the high Sheriff of a County in Ireland, who, with7 the other Rebels, publiſhed many declarations in writing to this effect; Th•t they were not a conquered Na•ion, nor would not live under th•Laws, that have now of late been enacted; and they would have a free uſe of th•i•Re­ligion without interruption; which they had now cauſe to fear, would be much ſtraitned, if not u•terly taken away: therefore it is high time to ſtirre, ſince it is of ſo great a c•nſequence; therefore all that wiſh well to the Catholique Faith, let them now betake themſelves to their Atms, and come now and aſſiſt us who are now in the field, to defend the Religion with our ſwords, which hath been eſtabliſhed in this Kingdom, by our worthy Anceſtors: and hereby we ſhall put honour upon our Religion, and make our names famous thorough the Chriſtian world; and if any of the Catholique Religion ſhall refuſe to aſſiſt us in this our juſt def•nce, let them know, they will be kept under like ſlaves, and draw upon them a curſe from all the Catholiques in the world, and the curſe of us Prieſts, a•d Fryers, and Souldiers.

Editorial statement

About the encoding

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial principles

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).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
