which he had summon'd it, the late Governour entertaining
Him with a File of Healths, but sure he had so
much care of his own that he did not drinke it, so
that this modesty or circumspection lessen'd Him of
one Cup, but he had drunk of another had He wanted
the latter.
After one dayes refreshement, His Excellency advance's
towards the Town of Callan, which hath two
strong Castles in it, both which He sound besieged
by the Lord Prersident and Collonell Reynolds, who
a little before had beaten one hundred of the enemies
Horse, with a third part so many or ours, That
they were beaten is not so observable, as that they
should put themselves into a capacity of being so.
These two Castles by a breach made and entered in
the Aire, were taken, and all the defendants put to
the Sword, which so terrified a third, contiguous to
the Town, that it took that also, and the Governor
of it coming to see the dead bodies, His stomack did
rise, not to revenge but to vomit, certainely He
could ill endure death Himself, that could not endure
to see it in others, yet without doubt the man
is entirely valiant, for He has discretion, which being
a part, (and the best part) of valour, by Senecdoche
is the whole.
This vifcinitude to the Convention then at Kilkenny
made them break the Commandement of loving
their Neighbours a themselves, which sin that they
might not constantly persevere in, they joggged off
to Lymeerick, first passing these hasty Votes.
Resolved upon the Question, That His Holinesse
be pressingly sollicited to suppresse Cromwell
by His Spirituali Armes, for there is little hopes of doing
it with temporal dones.
