To the Right Honourable the Earle of Manchester, Speaker of the House of Peers, pro tempore.

My Lord,

GOd hath this day rewarded our weari­some Marches with a full and glorious Victory over and Enemy who had used much subtilty and diligence to engage the King­dome in a new War; they had increased to a great number by the addition of divers dis­banded men from England, and a generall conjunction of most of able bodied Inha­bitants of the Counties of Pembrook, Cvr­marthen, and Cardigan, and many of Glamor­gan. This day about nine of the Clocke it pleased God that wee ingaged with them at a place called Saint Fagons, three miles distant from Cardiffe, and for neare two hours had a very hot dispute, but at length by Gods mercy they were put to a totall rout, many slaine upon the place, and about three thou­sand Prisoners, great store of Armes and Ammunition, and many Coulours; The Enemy accounted themselves eight thou­sand Horse and Foot, which makes the mercy more remarkable.

My Lord, The Almighty was pleased [Page 5]greatly to strengthen both our Officers and Souldiers, in the discharge of their duties with much resolution and cheerfulnesse, but with one heart they desire, that the honour of this worke may bee wholly given to God. This account I held my self bound to present your Lordships with, to bee communicat­ed to the Right Honourable the House of Peeres, being

My Lord: Your most humble and faithful Servant Tho. Horton.
