VERY GOOD NEVVES FROM IRELAND. OF Three great Victories obtained againſt the REBELS.
ALSO Papers concerning the Remonſtrance of the Lord Inchequins Officers.
London printed for V, V. and are to be ſold at the Exchange, Anno Dom. MDCXLVII.
MAjor Generall Jones our Governour of this City of Dublin; and Commander, in chiefe of all the Forces of this province of Lemſter (to keepe the Souldiers in action, and deſtroy the Rebels quarters, and force them at a diſtance) deſigned a conſiderable ſtrength to march into the County of Wicklow.
2The Rebels hearing of their deſigne, marched out of their quarters from ſeverall places, and (upon their neare approach) fled before them: The very noyſe of our men ſtrickes ſuch a terrour into the hearts of the Rebels, that they know not what to doe being extreamly fearefull of being forced to another engagement.
So that our men have had very good ſucceſſe in Wicklow, from whence they have brought very good prey of which I have ſent you a liſt (incloſed herein) of the particulars, by which you may ſee what a mighty booty God hath put into our hands.
And if the Lord be pleaſed to ſettle you at peace at home, and reduce all the differences in England to an happy union, I doubt not but things will go well here, And our valiant Commander in cheife hath a deſigne by which he hopes to bring the Rogues low before Winter.
Ordinary wheat is now (at Drogheda) at tenne ſhillings a Barrell, and dearer at Dublin.
But ſuch care hath beene taken for proviſions here; that Dublin have got in all their3 Harveſt; and that without danger, or interruption.
The old Fox, Owen Ro-Oneale keepeth cloſe with his Forces about Kilkenny, he is there at one Houſe mending his Workes, and taking in proviſions, and will not fight but upon his owne conditions, if he could get a great advantage perhaps hee would make uſe of it, but before we come neare him he Alarmes his Forces to a withdrawing poſture.
And the Iriſh have no other conſiderable ſtrength to depend upon.
So that moneys comming firſt over to encourage our Souldiers, and then ſupplys of men and Equipage we have great hopes of a good forwardneſſe in reducing th•ſe par•s in ſhort time. So prayes,
We have news now come from the North that Sir Charles Coote, Lord Preſident of Connought, hath fought with a party of the Rebels, and given them a notable defeat, according to the Liſt incloſed,
THE Lord Inchequin, Lord preſident for this province of Munſter was lately moved by his Officers about a Remonſtrance which was occaſioned by their hearing of ſome differences in England, betweene the City of London and the Army under his Excellency Sir Thomas-Fairfax and the diſtractions which they heard the Parliament to be in thereby, which his Lordſhip was much ſorrowfull to heare.
5But afterwards hearing that theſe differences were well appeaſed, and the Parliament ſitting ſafe, the proſecution of the ſaid Remonſtrance was appeaſed, and his Lordſhip did pretty well ſatisfie his Officers therein.
Yet they have againe importuned his Lordſhip about moneys, being very earneſt about their Arreers, and preſſing him to ſend over for monies to be ſpeedily ſent them.
A party of the Rebels his Lordſhip heard were gathering to try if they could raiſe the Seige, but having notice of it he ſent out a commanded party who fell upon the Rebels and defeated them, A liſt of the particulars whereof I have ſent you incloſed, reſting.

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.
