Congregation for their Parishioners; and truly't were not amiss,
for this thought they are like to convert them as any others; Oh
would that Clergy but keep as far from sin, as they use to do from
their Texts, or as they are like to do from their Tythes.
God hath been lately pleas' d to visit us heavily, by taking away
Scoutmaster Generall Roe, and Lieu.Col. Woolfe, two of so heavently
tempers, that though their loss be a transcendent Affiction
in it self, yet it makes us sear they are but sore-runners of a greater;
and indeed who cannot but apprehend the danger of the
building, when such corner stones are removed: but to sweeten
this Cup, we understand for certain, that my Lord President of
Connaught hath taken Colerane by storm, and hath to setled the
Scotch garison in it, that they are like never to stir out of it again.
We Further hear his Lordship hath Agreed for the surrender of
Karickvergus, if it be not reliev'd in fix weeks; and though some
believe the Garison have taken so long a time, in hope of relief
from their Country, yet I believe tis only to keep so long out
of it.
Sir Hardresse Walter too the 19 of this month landed with a Regiment
of foot clad in a Livery, which I believe their swords
will weare next spring: There are besides Severall other Ships
come from the West, from Milford, from Bristoll, and from London
with Provisions, Money, Artillery, &c.
Thus Seas and Winds, and Men doe all make leagues
to act the Raine of the Filthy Teigs.
FINIS.
Ended the 21 of December, 1649.
