and then caused him to be hangd up out of pure love) have taken the right
hand of her Corrivall, and retaine her former esteeme, shee shall beg
this Animall from the Justice of my quill, and then hang him if shee
please, where formerly shee hath done the Lord Bradshaw, and that's
revenge enough. In the interim I must (Honoris gratid) disclaime not
only all hee hath writ, but particularly informe the Kingdome of the
Abuses put upon them the last weeke; (for the first it was so ridiculously
false in every part, I neede not to mention it.)--- The first-whereof
is, the hot dispute, hee talkes of on Munday the tenth of September,
betweene the Lord Inciqueene and two Regiments of theirs, at the Bridge
that crosses the River into that Towne: (how hee comes to know this
dispute and not the name of the Bridge is questionable) where not with
standing (hee saieth) it was three houres maintainted with great gallantry
on both sides (but I must tell him, and shall never bee ashamed to tell
the truth, one of these Sides hee talkes of (viz.) the Lord Inchiqueene,
was on that day upon another imployment; and that was the surprizall
of divers of the Rebells Horse that quartred within two miles of
Dublin and of the chiefe Inhabitants thereabouts, and the burning downe
of the chiefe places of the countrey, to disable them from sending Reliefe
to the Rebells in Dublin: so that this story of his cannot bee true;
nor any of the remainder of it, where hee saith, That from the Fort,

hee is no good Cannoniere that thinks a hypothenusall lyne (as that must
needs bee from the Fort to the Bride hee talkes of) should so graze
the bullets to make lanes in the Enemies Body; and therefore hee's farre
unfit to batter the Bulwarkes of Tyrannie and Oppression. What hee
afterwards chattles concerning the Marquesse of Ormond, as his desperate
Charging of them, and discharging two Drakes upon the Enemy with
such successe that it cut them all off, not a man escaping, is a plaine impossibilitie
to every mans Reason, but his owne; the Marquesse and his
Drakes having had never as yet any occasion to come nearer Drohedagh
then eight miles, and that was but once, when Cromwell stormed it
three times in one day, as fearing the strongest Towne and the best Men
might bee assailed and endangered, if possest of some Advantages, which
hee feared they had got, though hee found the contrary, which caused
him to retire and leave the Towne to it's owne gallantry; ---The
Kings Arrivall at Galloway (which hee is also the Author of) speakes
the goodnesse of his Intilligence; And the one efd Gunner's brother
who was at Colchester, his being with the Lord Grandison, doth shew
the precisenesse of his Intelligence; only there hangs another wretched
