APPENDIX.

AN ACT For the Attainder of divers Rebels▪, and for preserving the Interest of Loyal Sub∣jects.

HUMBLY beseech your Majesty, the Commons in this present Parliament assembled, That whereas a most horrid Invasion was made by your unnatural Enemy the Prince of Orange, invited thereunto, and assisted by many of your Majesty's rebellious and trayte∣rous Subjects of your Majesty's Dominions; and such their inviting and assisting, made manifest by their perfidious de∣serting your Majesty's Service, in which, by your many Prince∣ly Obligations, besides their natural Duties, they were boun∣den; and having likewise to obtain their wicked ends, rai∣sed and levied open Rebellion and War in several places in this Kingdom, and entered into Associations, and met in Conventions in order to call in and set up the said Prince of Orange, as well in Ulster and Connaught, as in the other Provinces of Munster and Lienster: To quell which, your Sacred Majesty's late Deputy in this Kingdom, Ri∣chard, then Earl, and now Duke of Tyrconnel, before your Majesty's happy Arrival in this Kingdom; and your Sa∣cred Majesty since your Arrival here, have been necessitated

to raise an Army to your Majesty's great Charge and Expence. And though the said Rebels and Traitors, after their having the impudence to declare for the Prince and Princess of O∣range against your Sacred Majesty, were with all mildness and humanity called in to their Allegiance, by Proclamations, and Promises of Pardon for their past Offences, and Prote∣ction for the future: And though some of the said Procla∣mations assured Pardon to all such as should submit them∣selves; and that no Persons were excepted in the last Procla∣mation besides very few, not exceeding▪ Ten in number, and few or none of any note came in, in obedience there∣to; and that very many of the Persons who came in upon Protections, and took the Oath of Allegiance to your Maje∣sty, were afterwards found amongst the Rebels in open Arms and Hostility, when taken Prisoners or killed, such Protecti∣ons being found with them. (So villanous were they by ad∣ding Perjury to their former Crimes, That it may be Enacted, and be it Enacted by your most Excellent Majesty, by, and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons in this present Parliament Assem∣bled, and by Authority of the same, that the Persons here∣after named, being Persons who have notoriously joined in the said Rebellion and Invasion, and some of which are upon Indictments condemned, some executed for High Treason, and the rest ran away, or abscond, or are now in the actual Service of the Prince of Orange against your Majesty, and others kill'd in open Rebellion (viz.)

Provided always, and be it further enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That neither the said Act of Repeal, or this Present, or any thing in them, or in either of them contained, shall extend to, or be construed to Forfeit or Vest in your Majesty, your Heirs or Successors; or otherwise to bar, extinguish, or wea∣ken any Right of Entry, Right of Action, Use, Trust, Lease, Condition or Equity of Redemption of any Mortgage or Mort∣gages, which on the said first Day of August, One thousand six hundred eighty eight, belonged or appertained to any Persons, not being forfeiting Persons, within the true intent and meaning of the said Act of Repeal, or of this present Act; and which ever since the said first Day of August, One thousand six hundred eighty eight, continued or remained in such Persons, not being for∣feiting Persons, or devolved, descended, or come from them, or any of them, to any of their Heirs, Executors or Administrators, not being forfeiting Persons as aforesaid, any thing in this Act, or the said Act of Repeal to the contrary notwithstanding.

And whereas by one or more Office or Offices, in the Time of the Earl of Strafford's Government in this Kingdom, in the Reign of King Charles the First, of ever blessed Memory, All, or a great part of the Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments in the Pro∣vince of Conaught, and Counties of Clare, Limerick and Tippe∣rary, were vested in his Majesty: And by the Acts of Settlement and Explanation, the said Office and Offices are declared to be Null and Void, since which time the said Acts have been by the said Act of Repeal, repealed, and thereby some Prejudice might arise or accrue to the Proprietors concerned in them Lands, if not prevented.

Be it therefore Enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That the said Office and Offices, and every of them, commonly cal∣led the Grand Office, and the Title thereby found, or endeavoured to be made out or set up, from the time of the finding or taking thereof, was and is hereby declared to be Null and Void, to all Intents and Purposes whatsoever. Provided that nothing there∣in contained shall any way extend, or be construed to extend to charge any Person or Persons who hath, bona Fide, paid any Rents or Arrears of Rent, that have been due and payable out of any Lands hereby vested in your Majesty; or to charge any Steward or Receiver, that received any such Rents, or Arrears of Rents, if he, bona Fide, paid the same; but that he and they shall be hereby discharged, for so much as he or they so, bona Fide paid, against your Majesty, your Heirs and Successors. Pro∣vided always, and it is hereby Enacted, That every Person not being a forfeiting Person, within the true intent and meaning of the said former Act, or of this present Act; and who before the seventh Day of May, One thousand six hundred eighty nine, had any Statute, Staple, or Recognizance for paiment of Money; or any Mortgage, Rent-Charge, Portion, Trust, or other In∣cumbrance, either in Law or Equity, or any Judgment, before the Two and twentieth Day of May, One thousand six hundred eighty nine, for paiment of Money, which might charge any of the Estates, Lands, Tenements, or Hereditaments, so as afore∣said forfeited unto, and vested in your Majesty, shall and may have the benefit of the said Statutes Staples, Judgments, Re∣cognizances, Mortgages, Rent-Charge, Portions, Trust, and other Incumbrances, out of the Estate or Estates which should be liable thereunto, in case the said former Act, or this present Act had never been made. Provided always, that the Person and Persons who had such Statutes Staples, Judgments, Recog∣nizances, or other Trusts or Incumberances, do claim the same before the Commissioners, for the Execution of the said former Act, within two months after the first sitting of the said Com∣missioners, and procure their Adjucation thereof, within such reasonable Time as the said Commissioners shall appoint for de∣termining the same. And to the end that such Person and Per∣sons as shall have any of the said Lands, Tenements, or Heredi∣taments,

granted unto him as aforesaid, may know the clear Value of the said Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments so to be granted unto him above all Incumbrances, and may injoy the same against all Statute-Staples, Judgments, Recognizances, Mort∣gages, Rent-Charges▪ and other Incumbrances not claimed-and adjudged as aforesaid;

Be it therefore further enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That all such Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, as shall be forfeited unto and vested in your Majesty, and granted by Let∣ters Pattents pursuant to the said former Act, or this present Act, shall be and are hereby freed, acquitted and discharged of and from all Estates, Charges and Incumbrances whatsoever, other than what shall be claimed and adjudged as aforesaid.

And whereas by one private Act of Parliament, intituled, An Act for securing of several Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments to George Duke of Albemarle, which Act was pass'd in the Reign of King Charles the Second; some Lands, Tenements and Heredita∣ments in this Kingdom, which on the two and twentieth Day of October, one thousand six hundred forty one, belonged to some ancient Proprietor or Proprietors, who were dispossessed thereof by the late usurped Powers, were secured and assured unto the said George Duke of Albemarle, by means whereof the ancient Proprietors of the said Lands may be barred and deprived of their ancient Estates, unless the said Act be repealed, though such an∣cient Proprietor or Proprietors be as justly intituled to Restitution, as other ancient Proprietors who were dispossessed by the said Usur∣per, and barred by the late Acts of Settlement and Explanation.

Be it therefore enacted, That the said Act for securing of seve∣ral Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments to George Duke of Al∣bemarle, be and is hereby repealed to all Intents and Purposes whatsoever: And that the Proprietors of the said Lands, and their Heirs and Assignes be restored to their said ancient Estates in the same manner with the said other ancient Proprietors, their Heirs and Assignes. And whereas several ancient Proprietors, whose Estates were seized and vested in Persons, deriving a Title under the said Acts of Settlement or Explanation, have in some time after the passing of the said Acts, purchased their own anci∣ent Estates, or part thereof, from the Persons who held the same

under the said Acts as aforesaid▪ which old Proprietors would now be restored to their said ancient Estates, if they had not purchased the same. And for as much as the said ancient Proprie∣tors or their Heirs should receive no Benefit of the said Act of Re∣peal, should they not be reprized for the Money paid by them for their said ancient Estates,

Be it therefore enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That all and every the ancient Proprietor or Proprietors, or their Heirs who have laid out any Sum or Sums of Money, for the Purchase of their own ancient Estates, or any part thereof, as aforesaid, shall receive out of the common Stock of Reprizals a sufficient Recompence and Satisfaction for the Money laid out or paid by him or them for the Purchase of their said ancient Estate at the Rate of ten Years Purchase, any Clause, Act or Statute to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.

And for the Prevention of all unnecessary Delays and un∣just Charges▪ which can or may happen to the Subjects of this Realm before their full and final Settlement, Be it further enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That where the Com∣missioners for Execution of the said Act of Repeal, or any three or more of them, shall give any Certificate under his and their Hands and Seals to any Person or Persons, Bodies Politick or Corporate, in order to the passing of any Letters Patents, ac∣cording to the said Act, and shall likewise return a Duplicate of such Certificate into his Majesties Court of Exchequer at Dublin, to be there enrolled, and the Person and Persons, Bodies Poli∣tick or Corporate, to whom such Certificate shall be given, shall during the Space of six Months next insuing the Date thereof, diligently prosecute the having and obtaining Letters Patents accordingly, but shall thereof be delayed and hindered by the Neglect of any Officer or Officers; that then and in such Case the several and respective Persons, Bodies Politick and Corporate, to whom and in whose behalf such Certificate shall be given or granted, shall hold and enjoy the several Mes••uages, Mannors, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, in the several and respective Certificates mentioned and allotted, according to such Estate, and under such Rent as are therein mentioned, as fully and amply to all Intents and Purposes, as if Letters Patents thereof had been

granted and perfected according to the Directions in the said former Act, any thing in this, or the said former Act, or any other Law, Statute or Usage to the contrary notwithstanding.

And whereas, by the Hardships and Oppressions introduced by the said Acts of Settlement and Explanation, some ancient Propri∣etors who would have been restorable by the said Act of Repeal, have been necessitated to accept of Leases for Life, Lives or Years, or Gifts in Tayl, or other Conveyances of their own re∣spective Estates, and have contracted to pay some Rents, Duties, or other Reservations out of such their ancient Estates, by which Acceptance of Leases or Gifts before-mentioned, and by the said Agreements to pay Rents, Duties or Reservations for the same; the said ancient Proprietors may be barred or stopp'd, and con∣cluded from the Benefit of Restitution, intended for ancient Pro∣prietors by the said Act of Repeal.

Be it therefore enacted, That the Acceptance of any such Lease or Leases, Gift or Gifts in Tayl, or any Agreement or Agree∣ments upon any such Account for Payment of Rents, Duties or any other Reservation for such their respective ancient Estate or Estates, shall be no way prejudicial or binding, or conclusive to any such ancient Proprietor, or to his or their Heirs, Executors, or Administrators, who have not actually by some legal ways or means, released his or their Right to his or their said ancient Estates, unto their said Leassors or Donors, any thing herein, or in the said Act of Repeal to the contrary notwithstanding.

Whereas some or most of the Lands to be given in Reprizals, have not been surveyed by the Surveys, commonly called the Down-Survey, or Strafford-Survey; and that a certain way is ne∣cessary to be prescribed for ascertaining the Quit-Rents now made payable thereout:

Be it therefore enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That the Commissioners for the Execution of the said Act of Repeal, or any three of them, shall and may be impowered to ascertain such Quantities payable out of such Lands so to be given in Reprize, and▪ to that Purpose to issue Commissions for Valuations or Sur∣ve••s, as they shall think fit; and that such Surveys shall be made according to the Rules and Methods used for the Down-Survey, wherein the unprofitable is to be thrown in with the profitable;

and where the Lands appear barren, or the Quit-Rents by the said Act of Repeal, proper or fit to be reduced, it shall and may be lawful for them to reduce the same; in which Case such re∣duced or reserved Quit-Rents, shall be and is hereby the only Quit-Rent payable out of the said Lands, if such Quit-Rents be more than the Crown-Rents, before this Act payable out of the said Lands: But in case the ancient Crown-Rent be more, the greater Rent shall be the Rent reserved thereout.

Provided yet likewise, that the Commissioners for the Execu∣tion of the said Act of Repeal, or in Default of them, the Barons of their Majesties Court of Exchequer, within five Years after the first sitting of the Commissioners, for the Execution of the said Act, shall be and are hereby impowered to reduce the Quit-Rents by the said Act due and payable out of Lands, by the said Act of Repeal to be restored, or formerly restored to the former Pro∣prietors thereof, where the Lands are barren, or of so small Va∣lue that the Quit-Rent doth amount to the fourth part of the Va∣lue of the Lands, and may be Discouragement to the Plantation of the said Lands, and that such ascertaining or abating of Quit-Rents, under the Hands and Seals of the said Commissioners or Ba∣rons respectively, shall be as good and effectual, as if the same had been enacted by these Presents, any thing herein, or in the said Acts of Repeal contained to the contrary notwithstanding.

And be it further enacted, That the Commissioners to be ap∣pointed for setling forth Reprizals pursuant to the said Act of Re∣peal, or any three of them, shall out of the Stock of Reprizals therein, and in this present Act, or in either of them mentioned, set forth and allot Reprizals to such Person and Persons, as by Virtue of this present Act are appointed to be reprized, and shall and may also execute such other parts of this Act as are to be ex∣ecuted by Commissioners.

And whereas divers Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments for∣feited unto and vested in your Majesty, are or may be found to be liable to divers Debts or other entire Payments saved by this Act: and for levying and receiving the same, the Person or Per∣sons intitled thereunto, might charge any part of the Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments originally liable to the said Debts or Payments, with more than a just Proportion thereof, whereby

some of the Persons to whom part of the said Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments shall be allotted or granted in Reprizal, may be overcharged in such Part or Proportion of the said Lands, Tene∣ments or Hereditaments, as shall be so to him or them granted or allotted, which may occasion great Prejudice and Loss to some of the said reprizable Persons, if due Course be not taken for ap∣portioning the said Debts and Payments: For Remedy whereof, Be it enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That the Commissio∣ners for Execution of the said Act of Repeal, and this present Act, or any three or more of them, be and are hereby impowered and required equally to apportion such Debts and Payments as shall appear to them to be chargeable upon, or levyable out of any Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, to be set forth for Repri∣zals as aforesaid; and to ascertain what Proportion of such Debts or Payments each and every Proportion of the Lands, Tene∣ments and Hereditaments, which were originally liable thereunto, and which shall be separately set forth for Reprizals as aforesaid, shall remain liable to pay or discharge; and the respective Gran∣tees, and every of them, and their respective Proportions of the said Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments to them allotted for Reprizals, shall not be liable to any more of the said Debts or Payments, than by the said Apportionment shall be appointed and directed, which Proportion of the said Debts or Payments is to be inserted in the Certificate, to be granted of the Lands liable thereunto▪ if the Person or Persons obtaining such Certificate, shall desire the same; any thing in this, or the said Act of Repeal to the contrary notwithstanding.

And it is further enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That all Letters Patents hereafter to be granted of any Offices or Lands whatsoever, shall contain in the same Letters Patents, a Clause requiring and compelling the said Patentees, to cause the said Let∣ters Patents to be enrolled in the Chancery of Ireland, within a time therein to be limited; and all Letters Patents wherein such Clause shall be omitted, are hereby declared to be utterly void and of none effect.

Provided always, that if your sacred Majesty at any time before the first Day of November next, by Letters Patents under the Broad Seal of England, if re••••ding there; or by Letters Patents

Cleric. in Offic. M^ri. Rot.

The Perswasions and Suggestions the Irish Catholicks make to his Majesty; Supposed to be drawn up by Talbot, ti∣tular Arch-bishop of Dublin, and found in Col. Tal∣bot's House, July 1. 1671.

• 1. THAT the Rebellion in Anno 1641. was the Act of a few, and out of fear of what was doing in Eng∣land. That they were provoked and driven to it by the English to get their Forfeitures. That they were often willing to submit to the King, and did it effectually Anno 1648; and held up his Interest against the Usurper, who had murdered his Father, till 1653. After which time they served his Majesty in Foreign Parts till his Restauration.
• 2. That they acquiesce in his Majesty's Declaration of Novemb. 30. 1660. And are willing that the Adventurers and Souldiers, should have what is therein promised them; but what they and others have more, may be resumed and disposed of as by the De∣claration.
• 3. They desire for what Lands intended to be restored them, shall be continued to the Adventurers and Souldiers, that they may have a Compensation in Money out of his Majesty's new Revenues of Quit-Rents, payable by the Adventurers and Soul∣diers. The Hearth▪Money and Excise being such Branches as were not in 1641; and hope that the one will ballance the other.
• 4. They say, That his Majesty has now no more need of an Army than before 1641; That the remainder of his Revenue will maintain now, as well as then, what Forces are necessary.
• ...

• 5. They desire to be restored to Habitations and Freedom within Corporations. 1. That the General Trade may ad∣vance. 2. That Garisons and Cittadels may become useless. 3. That they may serve his Majesty in Parliament, for bettering his Revenue, and crushing and securing the Seditious in all Pla∣ces.
• 6. They desire to be Sheriffs and Justices of the Peace, &c. for the Ends and Purposes aforesaid; and to have the Power of the Civil and Ordinary Militia.
• 7. They also desire to be form'd into a Militia, and to be ad∣mitted to be of the standing Army.
• 8. That their Religion is consonant to Monarchy and impli∣cit Obedience. That they themselves have actually serv'd his Majesty in Difficulties. That they have no other way to advan∣tage themselves, than by a strict adherence to the King. That they have no other Refuge; whereas many of his Majesty's Sub∣jects do lean hard another way.
• 9. That the Roman Catholicks are six to one of all others; that of the said one to six, some are Atheists and Neuters, who will profess the Roman Catholick Religion; others devoutly given, will affect the same course, that the rest may have their Liberty of Conscience, and may be corrected in case they abuse it.
• 10. That the Roman Catholicks having the full Power of the Nation, they can at all times spare his Majesty an Army of Sixty thousand Men, there being Twelve hundred thousand Souls in Ireland; and so consequently an Hundred and fifty thousand be∣tween sixteen and sixty Years old: Which Forces, if allowed to Trade, shall have Shipping to transport themselves when his Ma∣jesty pleaseth.
• 11. That they have a good Correspondence abroad, for that great numbers of their Nation are Souldiers, Priests, and Mer∣chants, in esteem with several great Princes and their Ministers.
• 12. That the Toleration of the Roman Catholicks in Eng∣land being granted, and the Insolence of the Hollanders taken down, a Confederacy with France which can influence England, as Scotland can also, will together, by God's Blessing, make his Majesty's Monarchy Absolute and Real.
• ...

• 13. That if any of the Irish cannot have their Lands in specie, but Money in lieu as aforesaid, some of them may transport themselves into America, possibly near New-England, to check the growing Independents of that Country.
• 14. That the next Parliament being formed as aforesaid, great Sums of Money will be given his Majesty. Query, Whether the Roman Catholick Clergy may not be admitted into the House of Peers this next Parliament, or stay a little?
• 15. That for effecting the Premises, 'tis better his Majesty should govern Ireland by a Committee of such of his Privy Coun∣cil as approved the Conjunction with France, and as are not con∣cern'd in Ireland, rather than by the Council of Ireland.
• 16. Let such a Lord Lieutenant be in Ireland, who in Inclina∣tion, and for fear of being displaced, will begin this Work of laying the Foundation of his Majesty's Monarchy, and hazard his Concernments upon that account.
• 17. That the Army be gradually reform'd, and opportunity taken to displace Men not affected to this Settlement; and to put into the Army or Garisons in Ireland, some fit Persons to begin this Work; and likewise Judges upon the Benches.
• 18. Query, What Precedents may be found to break the seve∣ral Farms, and to be Master of the Exchequer, and pole the Gains of the Bankers, Brewers, and Farmers?

• 1. Whether the paying of a Fine or Income upon all Grants of Charters, Officers and Commanders, may not bind and fasten the Grant, Duty, and Allegiance, as with Silver Chains, more firmly to the King's Government?
• 2. Whether any Grants may be presumed to be new obtained, without paying a great Value, at least to some great Officer or Courtier for procuring the same?
• 3. Whether it be not ••••••sonable, a Year's Value be paid as a grateful Acknowledgment to the Prince's Bounty upon Tempo∣ral Grants, as First Fruits from Spiritual?
• 4. Whether to reserve such Grants to the immediate dispose of the King, be not the Interest of the Crown, and a Means to cre∣ate a closer adherence to the Person of the Prince, and so make Monarchy more Absolute and Real, instead of factious Dependen∣ces on great Men, who are often acted more by Self-interest than the Advantage of their Master?
• ...

• 5. Whether a considerable Revenue may not be raised to the Crown, that if such Courtiers received it upon procuring Grants, it were paid to the Private or Privy-Purse?
• 6. Whether the Subject would not more chearfully pay a Years Value or two to the Prince upon passing Grants, than to be lia∣ble to the unreasonable Exaction of hungry Courtiers, who some∣times make a Prey, both of the Subject and the Prince's Favour?
• 7. Whether many worthy and deserving Men have not been put by and denied the benefit of his Majesty's Grant by false Insi∣nuation, for not gratifying some such viperous Officers?
• 8. Whether his Majesty might not expect to have a fitter Per∣son recommended, when there is no Advantage to be made by their Recommendations, than when Offices are canted by Cour∣tiers, and such only recommended as will give most, but the least fit?
• 9. Whether if by the Silver Key Men chance to get admit∣tance into Offices, the Prince may not make Advantage by their Misbehaviour, since by losing both their Mony and Employ∣ment, the King will not only get a Fine, and better Servants, but also gratify the People by displacing an ill One.

A Copy of a Letter of the Irish Clergy to King James, in favour of the Earl of Tyrconnel. Found amongst Bishop Tyrrell's Papers in Dublin.

SIR,

SInce it has pleased the Almighty Providence, by placing your Majesty in the Throne of your Ancestors, to give you both Authority and Occasion of exercising those Royal Vertues which alone do merit, and would acquire you the Crown to which you were born; We, though compre∣hended in the general Clemency and Indulgence which you ex∣tend to the rest of our fellow Subjects, are nevertheless so re∣mote from your Majesty's Presence, that our Prayers can have no access to you but by a Mediator. And since of all others the

Earl of Tyrconnel did first espouse, and chiefly maintain, these Twenty five Years last past, the Cause of your poor oppressed Roman Catholick Clergy, against our many and powerful Adver∣saries; and is now the only Subject of your Majesty, under whose Fortitude and Popularity in this Kingdom, we dare chearfully and with assurance own our Loyalty, and assert your Majesty's Inte∣rest: Do make it our humble Suit to your Majesty, that you will be pleased to lodg your Authority over us in his Hands, to the Terror of the Factious, and Encouragement of your faithful Sub∣jects here; since his Dependence on your Majesty is so great, that we doubt not but that they will receive him with such Acclama∣tions, as the long captivated Israelites did their Redeemer Morde∣cai. And since your Majesty in Glory and Power does equal the mighty Ahashuerus; and the Vertue and Beauty of your Queen is as true a Parallel to his adored Hester; We humbly beseech she may be heard as our great Patroness, against that Haman, whose Pride and Ambition of being honour'd as his Master, may have hitherto kept us in Slavery. And tho we wish none the fate of so dreadful an Example, but rather a timely Penitence and Conver∣sion; we yet humbly crave your Majesty's Protection against all such, if it may consist with your Royal Wisdom and Pleasure, to which we with all humility submit, in the establishing of the ••a••d Earl of Tyrconnel in such Authority here, as may secure us in the exercise of our Function, to the Honour of God, and offering up our Prayers and Sacrifice for the continuation of your Maje∣sty's long and prosperous Reign over us.

Dublin, the of July, 1685.

Your Majesty's most dutiful and obedient Subjects.

The Copy of a Letter sent the King, August 14. 1686. Found in Bishop Tirrel's Papers, but imperfect.

May it please your Majesty:

I Humbly beg of you, for God's sake and your own, to read what I here presume to write; not but that I know it may well be thought an inexcusable piece of Presumption in any Subject to say or write any thing that may look like prescri∣bing to a King, especially a King that from his own knowledg, and the best Mother of it, long Experience, must with universal consent be allowed the most competent Judg in his Dominions of what ought or ought not to be done. Yet inasmuch as your pre∣sent Counsellors are for the most part divided from you by the unhappy difference in Religion, I hope your Majesty will pardon a loyal Plain-dealer, for presuming to offer his well-meaning Opi∣nion of the present Posture of Affairs.

Sir, As I am one that makes it my Business to study your Inte∣rest, I took the liberty of telling you in former Letters, That in order to replant Religion in your Dominions, you ought to be∣gin with Ireland, where the Work is more than half done to your Hand, and where your Prerogative allows you to do with that Kingdom as you please; for it was not to be expected that Eng∣land and Scotland, so irreconcileable to Popery, would consent to take off the Penal Laws by a Parliament, if not aw'd by a more faithful Army than you have at present. And now that a needful Alteration is begun in Ireland, it should be carried on speedily for your own and Catholick Subjects security; for all the Sectaries in your Dominions are so gall'd at some of the Phanaticks being discarded in Ireland, that they join Heads, concert Councils, swear and contrive Vengeance against all Papists, who must expect no Quarters but during your Majesty's Reign: But all good Men have reason to hope, that that God who delivered you from the manifold Dangers of your Life, and made your Enemies your Footstool, will spare your precious Life till you accomplish the glorious Work reserv'd for you, by that Providence that is your best Life-guard. And 'tis the comfort of all good Subjects, that

besides your being of all sides descended from healthy Pa∣rents, you have (I thank God) at present all the Symptoms of a vigorous long-lived Man: Nay, that your having been suckled by a very healthy long-liv'd Woman, must in reason contribute much to the length of your Life; therefore put your Trust in that God that never failed any good Man that placed his Hopes with consi∣dence in him; and consider the Proverb, That he that begins well, has in a manner half done his Work; which cannot be more aptly applied, than to the auspicious beginning of your Reign: for God has so dashed the Enterprizes and Hopes of your Enemies, that the terror of your Name, and their experience of your good Fortune, is, with the help of the Army they gave▪ you way to raise, suffici∣ent, if not to change their Hearts, at least to curb their Insolence: Therefore listen not to trimming Counsellors, whose aversion to your Religion, and cunning Design of spinning out your Life with their pian piano, may put them upon urging to you; that great Alterations are dangerous, when carried on otherwise than by slow and imperceptible Degrees: Which is true, where Mat∣ters are not so ordered in point of Power, as not to need fear a Perturbation in the State; but otherwise, Celerity and Resolution adds Life and Vigour to all Actions, especially such as relate to Change, which is often prevented by tedious Deliberations; for the Party fearing an Alteration, is always (as having more rea∣son) more jealous and vigilant than he from whom it is feared; and therefore leaves no Stone unturn'd to hinder the accomplish∣ment of Designs, that might take Effect if not marr'd, for not be∣ing vigorously push'd on as soon as resolv'd upon: And as Preci∣pitation is an Error, so is Irresolution, which is never to be pra∣ctised by any, especially a known wise and resolute Prince; but when the Issue of Enterprizes depends more upon Chance than a prudent management of Causes, and rational foresight of Events. But nothing causes Irresolution more, than a medly of Counsellors of a different Religion with their Prince, who will be on all Oc∣casions as industrious to prevent, as he can be to carry on any De∣sign for re-establishing Religion. And inasmuch as Authority, Courage, and Prudence, are the three most necessary Qualifica∣tions in a Prince, that conduce most of all ordinary Means to the replantation of a Religion; and that all three meet to the highest

pitch in your Majesty, no protestant Counsellor will advise you to any alteration in the Government, that may directly or indi∣rectly tend to a Change in Religion: Nay, they lie under such Jealousy and Prejudice, as may induce them to magnify Danger where there is none at all, and take no notice where it really is: A Device much practised in England of late Years. Hence in the late King's time, No Danger threatned his Majesty but from the Catholick Quarters, whilst the greatest of Dangers hovered over his and your Sacred Heads▪ warpt up in the dark Cloud of Fa∣natick Treachery and Dissimulation.

Sir, It is plain, that the reality of the Danger lies in your De∣lay of making your Catholick Subjects considerable. For God's sake consider, that yours and their sworn Enemies threaten above∣board, that Popery or Protestantism must and shall be for ever extirpated in these Kingdoms, and that all Papists must inevitably split upon a Rock in that Haven where they had reason to hope for Safety, if not secured against the threatning Storm during your Majesty's Life, whereof the Days and Hours are precious, considering the important Game you have to play, and the indi∣spensable Obligation you lie under (before that God . . . . . and contribute as much from the Helm to the conversion of Souls, as the best of Preachers from Pulpits; for Words do but move, but Examples, and especially those of great Men, have more re∣sistless Charms, and a more than ordinary Ascendent over the Minds of the common People: Which Consideration should pre∣vail with your Majesty to prefer, without delay▪ couragious wise and zealous Catholicks, to the most eminent and profitable Sta∣tion••▪ especially in your Houshold, where you are King by a two-••old Title; by which means you would in a short time be stock'd with faithful Counsellors all of a piece, that would join Heads, Hearts and Hands, and would contribute unanimously to the effectual carrying on so good a Design . . . . . distinction 'twixt his politick and natural Capacity, fighting against

the one in defence of the other, it is to be fear'd the Protestants of your English Army would, in case of a Rebellion, be too in∣clinable to fight for the King, Parliament, and Protestant Reli∣gion, against the King as Papist, his Popish Cabals and Popery. To prevent which (as Matters now stand) there is but one sure and safe Expedient, that is, to purge without delay the rest of your Irish Army, increase and make it wholly Catholick; raise and train a Catholick-Militia there; place Catholicks at the He•••• of that Kingdom; issue out Quo-warranto's against all the Corpo∣rations in it; put all Employs, Civil as well as Military, into Ca∣tholick Hands. This done, call a Parliament of Loyal . . . . . present Revenues of that Kingdom cannot answer other State-Contingencies, and maintain a greater Army than is already on foot, especially when the Revenues rather fall than rise there. The Solution to this Objection is to be expected also from your Majesty, in whose Breast it lies to take off by a Law, the Re∣straint that Country is under, as to Trade and Traffick, for which it lies much more convenient than any of your Kingdoms. When this is done, the Irish Merchants will, like the Souldiers, flock home from all parts of the World; but with this difference, that as the Souldiers come to get your Money, the Merchants will bring all their . . . . . that there are few or none Protestants in that Country, but such as are join'd with the Whigs against the Common Enemy. And as to your Revenues, you are cheated of them by the mismanage∣ment and sinistrous Practices of your Commissioners, whereof the major part are in their Hearts rank Whigs, and of a whiggish Race; and hence it is that they employ no Officers but Men of their own Kidney, that swallow the Oaths and your Revenue to boot. And tho no King can well avoid being impos'd on by his Servants, I believe it in my Conscience, that the present Mana∣gers of your Revenues in Ireland, think it no Sin to rob a Po∣pish King of his Due. Hence it is that there is an universal

Agreement and Combination betwixt the . . . . . Merchants . . . . . we will, by way of Retaliation, take care that no Catholick be admitted into the Civil. This Combination makes your Let∣ters for Civil Places, the Reversion of Outlawries, and for Ca∣tholicks being admitted free of Corporations, so little regarded in Ireland by those that past for Tories here, &c. yet publickly espouse the whiggish Quarrel the other side the Water. I be∣seech you, Sir, consider, that however your Kingly Prudence may prevail with You to dissemble Your Resentments of the Non∣compliance and Disobedience of Your stiff-neck'd English Prote∣stant Subjects, You ought to exert Your Regal Authority in Ire∣land, a Kingdom more peculiarly Your own, where . . . . . month before, or at least not outlive Your Majesty a month) for if that poor Nation be not made considerable during Your Reign, his Lordship must not hope for the Favour my Lord Stafford had, of being legally Murdered by a formal Trial, but may well ex∣pect, (all Formality laid aside) to be sacrificed to the unbridled Fury of the lawless Rabble, and dissected into little Morsels, as the De-Wits were in Holland. And truly the Fanaticks threaten no less; and it were to be wished they cried out upon more of Your Ministers than they do at present; for You may take it for granted, they will never speak well of Your real Friends . . . . . other will endeavour to marr, and the Work will go on like that of Babel, confusedly, for want of good Intelligence among the Workmen.

Sir, You are under God the great Architect, that will, with the Blessing of Jesus, live to see the glorious Structure fully finish'd: In order to which 'tis requisite, You lose no time in making Ire∣land intirely Your own, that England and Scotland may follow. You are gone too far, if You do not go farther; not to advance, is to lose Ground; Delays are dangerous, and all the World

allow Expedition and Resolution to . . . . . if this were once compassed, France could no more hope upon a falling out with England, to take advantage of the diversity of our Sects, and what may spring thence, Domestick Jars and Di∣visions.

Sir, Notwithstanding the Doubts and Fears of Trimming Courtiers, and some Cow-hearted Catholicks▪ You may live long enough to undertake and crown this great Work, with the Grace and Assistance of the same Almighty God that de∣feated the Rebels in the West, and made them instrumental in settling You in Your Throne, and that permitted this Country to be lately sprinkled with the Blood of Martyrs, which must infal∣libly contribute to the Conversion of Souls in this Kingdom; for the Blood of Martyrs is and ever was the fruitful Seed of the Church: The Seed is sown in many parts of England, and the Harvest will without doubt be great and plentiful, but the Work∣men too too few, if You do not provide your self with Catho∣lick Privy-Counsellors, Ministers, Judges, Officers Civil and Mi∣litary, and Servants: As to the Choice of which, I will mind Your Majesty of the Advice given Moses by Jethro his Father-in-Law, in the following words; Provide out of all the People, able Men, such as fear God, Men of Truth, hating Covetousness. When Your Counsellors and Ministers are thus qualified, and not till then, You may hope to do what becomes a James the Second. And to furnish Your self with able Men, You must follow Your Royal Father's Advice to the Prince of Wales; that is, With an equal Eye, and impartial Hand, distribute Favours and Rewards to all Men, as You find them for their real Goodness, both in Ability and Fidelity worthy and capable of them. Such as fear God, as the truly Wisest will advise You to the best Measure for promoting God's Glory; Men of Truth will, like Tyrconnel, serve You faithfully, without trimming, tho with never so appa∣rent Hazard to their Fortunes and Lives. And Men hating Co∣vetousness, will not betray Your Interest, be corrupted, nor sell Places to such Undermanagers of Your Revenue, as buying them for a Spill in gross, will be sure to retail them at Your Cost, a

Practice much in use here, and in Ireland at present, where few or no Places can be had without Bribes; by which means You are cheated in both Kingdoms of an Hundred thousand Pounds a Year, in the opinion of understanding, honest and indifferent Judges; for no Man will give a Shilling surreptitiously for an Office, but with a design to cheat You of Twenty: To prevent which, there is no Remedy, but that of employing smart Men of known Integrity, to be chosen without Favour or Affection, that will be content with their respective Salleries, and imploy their utmost Industry to improve, not imbezel Your Revenues the Ornaments of Peace and Sinews of War.

SIR,

These Kingdoms are of Opinion, Popery will break in upon them, and it were a pity to disappoint them; and when You take effectual Measures, Your trimming Courtiers will unmask and come over; nay, half the Kingdom will be converted of it self. What I have here presumed to write, is the effect of my unfeigned Zeal for the Good of Religion, and Your Majesties Interest, which I hope will induce You to pardon a plain-deal∣ing and loving Subject, that daily beseeches God to bless Your Majesty and these Kingdoms with a long and prosperous Reign, and with numerous long-liv'd Male Issues; and to inspire You with wholsom Thoughts, that may direct You to the performance of such Heroick Actions as may gain You immortal Fame in this World, and eternal Glory in the next.

Lord Clarendon's Speech in Council, on his leaving the Government of Ireland.

My Lords,

IT has been sometimes used to make Speeches upon these Occa∣sions, but I know my insufficiency for that Task, and there∣fore shall trouble your Lordships with very few words. In the first place, my Lords, I give your Lordships many thanks for the Civilities I have received from every one of you, and for the great Assistance I have had from you in the discharge of my Duty here. I know your Lordships can witness for me, that I ne∣ver desir'd your concurrence in any thing that was not for the King's Service. I do again beg your Lordships to accept of my Thanks, with this assurance, that I shall give the King an ac∣count (when I have the honour to kiss his Hand) of your Lord∣ships great readiness and diligence to advance his Service.

My Lord Deputy, I shall not long detain your Lordship; The King hath placed your Excellency in a very great Station; has committed to your Care, the Government of a great and flou∣rishing Kingdom, of a Dutiful, Loyal, and Obedient People: It is extreamly to be lamented, that there are such Feuds and Ani∣mosities among them, which I hope your Excellency's Prudence, with the assistance of so wise a Council, will disperse▪ I must needs say, both from my own Observation, and the Information I have had from my Lords the Judges, who often visit the whole Kingdom, that there is a great readiness and willingness in all People to serve and obey the King. I must here a little enlarge to your Excellency, because I reckon my self bound to give the King an account of his Subjects, and I would not willingly say any thing when I am at such a distance, which I have not men∣tioned here. The English in this Country have been aspersed with the Character of being generally Fanaticks, which is a great Injury to them; I must do them the justice to say, that they are of the Church of England, as appears by their Actions as well as Professions. The Churches here are as much frequented, and the Discipline of the Church as well observed, as in England it self;

which is to be attributed to the Piety and Labour of my Lords the Bishops. We of the Church of England can brag, that when Rebellion overspread the three Kingdoms, not one Ortho∣dox Member of our Church was engaged against the Crown: And in our late Disorders, we can boast we were Opposers of the Bills of Exclusion; and the Sense his Majesty has been graci∣ously pleas'd to express of our Loyalty, will never be forgotten by us. I had the happiness to be born a Member of the Church of England, and I hope God will give me the Grace to die one. One thing the English of this Country have to glory in, That of all his Majesty's Subjects, they made the earliest Advances towards his Majesty's Restoration, when the three Kingdoms were go∣verned by Usurpers. And after all the Endeavours of his Loyal Subjects in England seemed to be disappointed, and there appear∣ed no Hopes, by the total defeating of Sir G. Booth, the English then in this Kingdom, offered to submit to his Majesty's Autho∣rity. I do not say this, my Lord, to detract from his Majesty's R. C. Loyal Subjects, many of whom I my self knew serv'd and suffered with him abroad; but I speak it in justice to the others who did their Duty. There is but one thing more I shall trouble your Excellency with; I am sorry that I cannot say that I leave a full Treasure, but I can say that I leave no Debts. The Revenue is in good Order, which must be owned to be due to the unwearied Industry and Diligence of the Commissioners. The Army is intirely paid to Christmass day last; and I have ad∣vanced a Month's Subsistence-money for January. The Civil and Pensionary Lists are likewise cleared to Christmass: I doubt not but your Excellency's Care will carry all things on in the same Me∣thod. God Almighty bless the King, and grant him long Life; and I beseech God to prosper this excellent Country. I received this Sword in Peace, and I thank God, by the King's Command, I deliver it in Peace to your Excellency; and I heartily wish you Joy of the Honour the King has done you.

John Plunkett Lessee of Christ. Lord Baron of Dunsany, Plantiff. Philip Tuite and John Rawlins, Defendants.

Sir Edward Tyrrell's Affi∣davit about packing of Juries.

WHereas there issued two several Venire Faciases, at the Plantiff's Suit, returnable to his Majesty's Court of Ex∣chequer, directed to Edward Tyrrell Esq then High She∣riff of the County of Meath, the first Year of his now Majesty's Reign. Now Sir Edward Tyrrell Baronet came this day before me, and made Oath, That one Mr. Plunket, Brother to the said Lord of Dunsany, came to Longwood to this Deponent's House; and desired this Deponent to stand the Lord Dunsany's Friend, and to give him a Jury that would do him Right; and withal said, this Deponent should have (after the said Lord of Dunsany should be restored to the Possession of his Estate) the sum of three or four hundred Pounds. To which this Deponent answered, He would do him Justice. The said Mr. Plunket desired this Depo∣nent to meet him at Mr. Nugent his Counsel's House, where he would further discourse the Matter. This Deponent did ac∣cordingly meet the said Thomas Plunket, where several Proposals and Overtures were made all to no purpose. This Deponent fur∣ther deposeth, That in some short time after, the said Lord of Dunsany came to this Deponent's said House, and after some Dis∣course, he the said Dunsany desired this Deponent to befriend him against those that wronged him, and kept him out of his Estate. Whereupon this Deponent told the said Lord of Dunsany what offer his Brother made him. The said Lord of Dunsany replying, said, His Brothers were all on the catch, and that he would do his own Business, and not trouble them, or any of them, or words to that purpose; and desired this Deponent to return him a good Jury, and that he, the said Dunsany, would give this Deponent twenty Guinnies in hand, and three or four hundred Pounds when he should be restored to the Possession of his Estate. To which this Deponent made answer, That he would impose no∣thing

on his Lordship▪ and that he would do him Right. Then the said Lord Dunsany swore, that this Deponent should not re∣pent what Kindness this Deponent would shew him in that Affair, and said, he would not fail paying the twenty Guinnies upon the return of the said Venires. This Deponent desired the said Lord of Dunsany to imploy his Brother Thomas Plunket in the prosecu∣tion of that Concern; which he promised he would do, and thereupon began to name such as he would have of the Jury: Which this Deponent desired he should forbear, telling him, if this Deponent should be examined to that, the Aray would be quash'd. The said Dunsany then said, he would put the Venires into this Deponent's Hands, and do what he thought fit, and said, this Deponent should hear from him within some short time, which he performed. And this Deponent deposeth, that he did receive the said two Venires, either from the said Lord Dunsany's Messenger, or from himself or one of his Servants. But this De∣ponent having recollected his Memory, is more apt to believe that it was the said Lord of Dunsany's Messenger or Servant, whom this Deponent hath seen before in the said Lord's Company, that came according to his the said Lord Dunsany's Promise, that de∣livered the said Venires to this Deponent; for he desired to know at his departure from this Deponent, where and when the said Mr. Thomas Plunket should meet this Deponent in order to return the said Writs, or words to that effect. That this Deponent ap∣pointed him to give the said Thomas Plunket notice to meet him at Trim, at one Mr. Eveys House, on such a day as this Depo∣nent cannot tax his Memory now with. That this Deponent having several Occasions to this City, waited on Mr. Daley this Deponent's Counsel, now Mr. Justice Daley, and advised with him about the Proposals, and said Overtures betwixt him this Deponent, and the said Lord of Dunsany; and thereupon resolved to serve the said Lord Dunsany gratis, and not to take or accept of any manner of Consideration from the said Lord of Dunsany, and that he this Deponent would be very just to him; which Reso∣lution was approved of by the said Mr. Justice Daley. This Depo∣nent further deposeth, That according to appointment, being met with punctually, had some Discourse with the said Thomas Plunket, who said, The said Lord of Dunsany his Brother was not prepa∣red

for a Trial, and that he would go on soon with all his Estate at once; and that them two Parcels were inconsiderable in respect of the Bulk of his Estate; and desired this Deponent to reserve the best Men, in order to return them on the Juries, when he should put other Venires for that purpose in this Deponent's hands, or words to that purpose. This Deponent desired him to consider what he had to do, and he should not blame him this Deponent hereafter. He the said Thomas Plunket then replied, That he would be satisfied with what Returns this Deponent should make on the said two Venires, and desired that the best Men might be reserv'd as aforesaid. Whereupon this Deponent soon after return'd the a∣foresaid Venires, with Pannels to them severally annexed. This De∣ponent further deposeth, That he having notice from the Lord Bp of Clogher, that he heard that the said Lord of Dunsany should re∣flect on this Deponent, saying, He would not return him a good Jury without a Consideration: and having met the said Thomas Plunket in the said Lord Bishop's Lodgings, in Michaelmass or Hil∣lary Term last, he desired the said Lord Bishop to acquaint the said Thomas Plunket with the Expressions he heard of the said Lord of Dunsany. Which he having done, the said Thomas Plunket said, That this Deponent desired no Consideration, and that the Lord Dunsany aforesaid was much obliged to him this Deponent; and that he was mighty kind to him, and would justify the same. This Deponent further deposeth, That the said Thomas Plunket having met this Deponent at Longwood, after some Discourse he had with this Deponent, the seventeenth day of March last past, shewed him a List of the Juries, and asked this Deponent if he returned them? To which this Deponent answered, That he had (as he believed): He the said Thomas Plunket thereupon said, most of them were Phanaticks, and that they would hang the said Lord of Dunsany if they could. This Deponent made answer then, That if they prov'd inconvenient, that it was the said Thomas Plunket's fault, for that he had desired this Deponent to return what he this Deponent pleased, and to reserve the best Men for the Bulk of the said Lord Dunsany's Estate, or words to that ef∣fect. The said Thomas Plunket said, He would never consent to the return of such Juries; and passionately said, If he had the twenty Guinnies to give this Deponent, that he would have bet∣ter

Juries. This Deponent asked the said Thomas Plunket, if this Deponent desired any such Sum, or any Sum of him when he met at Trim? he then replied, that he did not, but that the said Lord Dunsany did promise it. After a while he likewise said, That he told the said Lord of Dunsany, that this Deponent could not be supposed to have made that Return for Ill-will or Gain, for that none would give any Sum of Money where the Party could Nonsuit himself; as also that this Deponent had returned good Juries for several of his Country, naming Mr. Evers and others, and that it was his ill Luck that hindred him, or words to that effect. This Deponent further deposeth, That neither of the De∣fendants, directly or indirectly, desired this Deponent for to re∣turn the said Juries. Neither did this Deponent give them no∣tice that he had any Venires; neither did he know that there were any Venires ordered to be granted by this Court, until he recei∣ved the said Venires, either from the said Lord, or Tenants, or Messengers as aforesaid, and further saith not.

Mr. Burridge's Affidavit about Robbers, Sept. 27. 1690.

THen came before me Ezekiel Burridge Clerk, and saith, That about the beginning of the late Earl of Tyrconnel's Government, he was set upon by three Men near Glas∣neven, within a mile of Dublin, who gave this Deponent four Wounds with their Swords, and tore his Gown, so that he could never afterwards wear it: They likewise attempted to rob him, had they not been prevented by the coming in of Company. Two or three days after, he heard that a Fellow was seen on the same Ground who looked suspiciously; and being pursued, was taken in the Suburbs: Whereupon the said Deponent went to him in a Disguise to Newgate, and took him into a private Place, and made large Promises to him, if he would discover any of the Robberies, and be an Instrument of bringing in the Rogues who infested the Roads about the Town, and robbed almost every Night. To effect this, he spoke Irish, and wore the ••arb of a considerable Irish Officer, and call'd himself Mac-Carty.

The first time he could do but little good with him, but he bid him come to him the next day; and after he had seen a Friend, he would do something. Accordingly he went to him the next Morning, and renewing and enlarging his Promises to him; af∣ter some time he told him, if he would make my Lord Chief Ju∣stice Nugent his Friend, and perswade him to remit his Punish∣ment, which was to be burnt in the Hand, and stand his Friend in other things, he would do more Service than any Man in Ire∣land was able to do. He thereupon ventur'd upon large Promises to him, and used all the Rhetorick he could to bring him to an ingenuous and full Confession. Whereupon he told the Depo∣nent, that he knew all the Robberies that were committed the three Years last past in the Counties of Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Long∣ford and Louth: That he would engage to clear all those Counties of Rogues; that he knew all those that rob'd in the Roads about Dublin; that there were four several Companies of them; that the great Company were at that time robbing about Kilkenny, and that they would be at Dublin within a Week, for they were withdrawn thither only to be out of the way here in the Term time; that there were 26 of them in all besides Souldiers (whom, he said, he durst not discover); but all the rest, he said, he would engage to take in Ale-houses, where he would appoint them to meet him, if my Lord Chief Justice would allow him Men to assist him: This he told the Deponent he would do, and shewed him what Methods he would use; and he said, he would willingly be hang'd if he did not succeed: Besides, he knew (he said) where Rogues might be found in Dublin, who were proclaimed, and had Money offered for their Heads. He knew likewise where two Men were who murdered a Broguemaker at Kil••ock a little before, but was loth to hang one of them, he said, because he thought he then lived honestly in his own House. He knew likewise, he said, a House that was to be robb'd at Stephens-green, by some Acquaintance of his, within a Week; and told the Deponent what Method they design'd to use in robbing it. He knew likewise who robb'd a House at Killmain∣ham that very Week whilst be was in Prison. He knew where a Silver-hilted Sword was, which was taken from a Gentleman a little before; and could go directly to abundance of Goods

taken by Robbery. He knew where several pieces of the Gold which was taken from Mr. Starling the Minister in the County of Longford, then lay; and said, that he himself had changed one of the Pieces since his Committal: All this he said he would prove, and would give his Head if he miscarried in any Parti∣cular. And when the Deponent told him, that perhaps he only pretended those things, that he might have an opportunity to escape; he thereupon said, that they might, to prevent that, set Guards over him; and besides, he would procure my Lord Gor∣manstowne, and several Gentlemen, to be bound for him. The Deponent having received this Encouragement from the Priso∣ner, (whose Name was Patrick Launan) he went to my Lord Chief Justice Nugent; told him what he had suffer'd himself, and what the Country suffer'd daily; and gave him an account of his conferring with the Prisoner, and shewed him in writing the above-named Particulars, which he wrote from his Mouth in Prison; which my Lord presently was pleased to call, Extraor∣dinary great Service, and said, that the Government ought to take notice of it. My Lord was likewise pleased to promise the Deponent he would pardon the Fellow, and make the best use he could of him to bring in the Rogues. Afterwards my Lord sent for him, and had him private two hours; and when the Deponent afterwards waited upon him, my Lord told him, he had found out an extraordinary useful Man, and that he was well satisfied all he said was true, and he believed he could do more service than the Account he gave the Deponent; and withal, my Lord shewed the Deponent a List of the Rogues he had from Launan the Prisoner: But either my Lord did not read the List fairly to the Deponent, or Launan made some omission; for the Deponent remembers there was one Naugle, or one or two Nugents in his List, which my Lord omitted in reading. After the Deponent had managed the Fellow thus far, he asked him concerning particular Robberies, and he gave him a very satisfactory Answer to all. He asked whether he heard of a Gownman that was assaulted between Dublin and Glassneven? he thereupon turned his Head aside and blush'd, and said, that he knew of it, but could not be perswaded to discover the Men:

What he said upon this Head, made the Deponent suspect that my Lord Chief Justice had discovered him to the Prisoner, for he found not that freeness of discourse with him, after he had been with my Lord, that he had before: Neither after all his Pains, could he do any good with my Lord; but he deposes, that after he was importunate with him, three or four times, to bring in the Rogues, yet nothing was done, and the Prisoner was afterwards sent away to Trim Goal, which this Deponent verily believes was to avoid his importunity. He believes, my Lord thought those Rogues might be afterwards serviceable, and therefore had no mind to bring them to Justice.

Account of Mr. Thomas Corker's House, Burnt by the Irish the 5th of May, 1689.

AS One of the Thousand Instances that may be given of the Natural Antipathy the Irish have to the English, and Protestants in general, (let the Obligations of Neighbourhood, Conversation, and other endearments be never so great) Mr Tho∣mas Corker's Usage by them is remarkable. He liv'd at Donogh∣more, within a Mile of Navan in the County of Meath; and observing about All Saints, 1688, that the English and Prote∣stants began to remove and fly; he freely ask'd the Irish Gentle∣men in his Neighbourhood, What Advice they would give him as to his Remove, having a great Family: Who Answer'd, O dear, Sir, do not stir; for if the World were on Fire, you have no reason to fear: For you have been so obliging to us your Neigh∣bours, and to all sorts, that none will harm you, but rather protect you. Yet immediately they fell upon his Stock without doors, and took part of it away. He then removed with his Family to Dublin, leaving his Haggard and most of his Houshold Goods behind him; and sometimes (or about once a Month) went down to Thresh part of his Corn for his own use: During which time they took away all his Stock of Sheep, Black Cattel, and Horses; and the Soldiers from Navan (Commanded by one Captain Farrel) fetcht away all his Corn and Hay. Some of his Irish-Servants telling him, It was not safe for him to come down, or lye in his own House, He lay in a Neigh∣bours House: This was on a Friday-Night; and the next Day he went to Dublin. On Sunday Night (the 5th of May, 1689.) they came and set Fire to his House in several places, and burnt it down and all his Goods, believing he was in the House. Afterwards giving out, That he had order'd his own Servants to Burn it. And soon after came up one William Carton his Shepherd, who told him▪ That the Fryar and Priests at Navan were very angry with him, and Threatned him, because he did not countenance that Report, and also own that his Servants had Burnt his House by his Order.

All this was done by the Neighbourhood, within 3 or 4 Miles about him.

A Brief of the Case of the Charter of Londonderry, upon which Judgment was given against it.

Quo Warranto against the Corporation of Londonderry; to shew, why they Claim'd to be a Body Politick, and to have and use certain other Priviledges.

THE Corporation pleaded their CHARTER, whereby those Priviledges were granted to them, & eo Warranto they claim to have and use those Priviledges.

Tho King's Attorny Replies, and saith, That since their Charter; the Act of Settlement impowers the Lord Lieu∣tenant and Council, to make Rules and Orders for the Regu∣lating Corporations: That accordingly such Rules were made for this Corporation; among which, One was, That they were to Elect at a time different from that in the Charter, and Return the Names of the Persons the Corporation should elect yearly to be Mayor and Sheriffs, to the Lord Lieu∣tenant; and to be approved of, & unde ex quo, that they did not so elect, and send the Names of such elected, to be so Approved, they forfeited their Priviledges.

The Corporation in their Rejoynder gave a full Answer to this New Matter, raised in Replication on these New Rules; and set forth, That they did all along yearly elect, and send up the Names elected according to the Rules, and that they were Approved, &c.

But further insisted at the Bar, That they needed not to have any further Rejoynder to the said Replication, or given any Answer as to the Matter in the said Replication alledged; because, admitting the Allegations in the said Replication to be true, yet the Replication assigns no breach by the Corpo∣ration: For all that comes after the Unde ex quo, is but a Conclusion, and solely a Conclusion without any Premisses; for tho' the New Rules be set forth, yet 'tis not said in all the Replication, That the Corporation did not act pursuant thereto; but only saith, Unde ex quo, they did not, &c.

1. The Court said, The Answer given to the New Rules, was a Departure from the Matter pleaded; viz. They Justifie in the Plea by the Charter; and in their Rejoynder they say, They chuse according to the New Rules, which is another Warrant to chuse, and so the Plea vitious. To which the Corporation Reply'd, That a Departure is, when a Party in a Rejoynder sets up a New Title to a thing, or a New Justi∣fication not set up in the Plea: But here they still Justifie by their Charter, and the New Rules made subsequent, is only to the Modus of Chusing, in respect of Time, &c. but the Power of Chusing is still by the Charter.

2. The Plea was not only a Plain Answer to a short Que∣stion demanded by the Quo Warranto, viz by what Warrant they claimed their Priviledges; and the Matter of the New Rules was set up by the King in his Replication, to which they had no opportunity of Answering, till they Rejoyn'd.

3. If it had been material to be set forth in the Plea; yet it being a Condition subsequent (if any thing) and going in destruction of the Corporation Priviledges, they ought not first by the Rules of Law to set it forth; but it ought first to come on the Adversaries part.

4. The Corporation urged, That the New Rules did not in Law work any Forfeiture of Priviledges, in case they were not observed; for they were in the Affirmative only, and the Rule of Law is, That Acts in the Affirmative take not away a former Power of doing a thing, but the same may be done either the first way, or the second. Notwithstanding all which, on the said pretended defect in Pleading, the Merits of the Cause never coming in question, the Court gave Judgment against the Corporation.

(N^o 12.) A Copy of the Letter dispers'd about the Massacre, said to be design'd on the 9th. of De∣cember, 1688.

Good my Lord,

December 3d. 1688.

I Have written to let you know, That all our Irishmen through Ireland are sworn, that on the 9th. Day of this Month, being Sunday next, they are to fall on, to kill and murder Man, Wife and Child, and to spare none; and I do desire your Lord∣ship to take care of your self, and all others that are adjudged by our Men to be Heads; for whoever of them can kill any of you, is to have a Captain's Place▪ So my Desire to your Ho∣nour is to look to your self, and to give other Noblemen warn∣ing, and go not out at Night or Day without a good Guard with you; and let no Irishman come near you, whatever he be. This is all from him, who is your Friend and Father's Friend, and will be, though I dare not be known as yet, for fear of my Life.

Direct this with Care and Haste to my Lord Mountgomery.

(N^o 13.) Lord Mountjoy's Circular Letter, on his going to France.

Gentlemen,

Dublin, 10th. January 1688.

YOU had an Account how long I staid on the Way, after I left you, and the Reasons which made me since go forwards: And whatever any Jealousies were at my first Ar∣rival, I am now satisfied at my coming; and, with God's Blessing, I hope it will come to good to us all. As soon as I saw my Lord Deputy, he told me, he designed to send me to the King jointly with my Lord Chief Baron Rice, to lay before him the State of the Kingdom; and to tell him, That if he pleased he could Ruine it for him, and make it a heap of Rubbish; but it was impossible to preserve it, and make it of use to him; and therefore to desire leave to treat for it. The Objections I made to this, were Two; My being not so well qualified, as a Northern Roman Catholick, whom in all likelyhood the King would sooner give Credit to: And the improbability of being able to perswade the King, who is now in the French Hands, to a Thing so plainly against their Interest. To the First of these, I was answered what is not fit for me to repeat; and the other is so well answered, that all the most knowing Englishmen are satisfied with me, and have desired me to undertake this Matter, which I have done this Afternoon; my Lord Deputy having first promi∣sed me, on his Word and Honour, to perform the Four Par∣ticulars in the within Paper. Now because a Thing of this Nature cannot be done without being Censur'd by some, who perhaps would be sorry to have their Wishes in quiet means; and by others, who think all that Statesmen do are Tricks, and that there is no Sincerity amongst them. I would have such to consider, That it is more probable I and the most in∣telligent in this Place, without whose Advice I do no∣thing, should judge right of this, than they who are at

greater Distance; and as it is not likely we should be Fool∣ed, so I hope they will not believe we design to betray them, our selves, and the Nation. I am morally assured, this must do our Work without Blood, or the Misery of the Kingdom. I am sure it is the Way proposed in England, who depend so on it, that no Forces are appointed to come hither; and, I am sure, what I do, is not only what will be approved of in England, but what had its beginning from thence. I do therefore conjure you, to give your Friends and mine this Account, and, for the Love of God, keep them from any Disorder or Mischief (if any had such Design, which I hope they had not;) and I am fully satisfied, eve∣ry Man will have his own Heart's Desire. I will write to this Effect to some other Places, and I desire you will let such in the Country, as you think fit, see this. Let the Peo∣ple fall to their Labour, and think themselves in less Danger than they believed, &c.

(N^o 14.) Judge Keating's Letter to Sir John Temple, December 29th. 1688.

SIR,

I Had ere this acknowledged the Favour of your last, and returned you my Thanks for your kind Advice, relating to the small Concerns I had in England, which I have now disposed of here; but, to deal freely with you, the Distracti∣ons arising from the Great and Suddain Alterations in En∣gland, and the pannick (but I believe groundless) Fears which hath possessed the Minds, not only of the Weaker Sex and Sort, but even of Men who would pass for Sober and Judicious, hath render'd Matters with Us so uncertain, that I profess seriously, I know not what to write; nor dare I yet give you any Account, relating either to particular Persons or Places of the Kingdom, scarcely of what I hear from the Re∣mote

Parts of this City; since what we have at Night for certain Truth, from those who pretend to be Eye or Ear Wit∣nesses of what they relate, we find before the next Days Ex∣change is over, to be altogether False and Groundless. The fear of a Massacre hath been mutual; the Protestants remem∣bring past Times, and being alarm'd by a Letter, neither di∣rected to, nor subscribed by any Person, but drop'd at Cumber (of which, Copies were dispers'd throughout all Parts of the Kingdom) were frighted to that degree, that very many of them betook themselves to the Ards, and other Places of Se∣curity in the North: Some into Scotland; and very many Fa∣milies Embark'd from this Part for Chester, Leverpoole, Beau∣maris, and the next Adjacent Ports of England and Wales, who, you may easily conclude, carried with them all the ready Money and Plate which they were Masters of. Nor was it a difficult Matter for them so to do, the Consternation being so great and so suddain, that even the Officers of the Port, either out of Commiseration to the departing Crowd of Women and Children; or, being amaz'd at the suddainness of the Fright, neglected to do their Duty, whereby this City, and the Adjacent Parts, are almost drained dry, as to Cash and Plate; which is manifest from Guineas being sold at 12 d. per piece, over and above the usual Rate. On the other Hand, the Roman Catholicks were very many of them un∣der equal Fears; and indeed, all of them, except the Army, who by their Calling are exempt from, or at least from own∣ing it, pretend equal Dread from the Protestants, who (as they alledg'd) far exceeded them in the Northern Parts, and were extraordinarily well Arm'd and Hors'd; but, their greatest Apprehensions arise from a constant and uncontradicted Assurance, which Private Letters by every Pacquet, brought hither, that the Duke of Ormond, with a considerable Army, and many experienc'd Officers, was to Land forthwith in Munster. And in this Condition now stands this poor King∣dom; the Contending Parties being equally afraid, or at least pretending to be so of each other; which cannot but beget great Anxiety and Sorrow in the Mind of every good Man, who hath the least Concern for his King or his Country.

In the interim the Lord Deputy, intrusted by his Majesty with the Government of this Kingdom, and keeping it en∣tire in its Obedience to all his Commands, doth daily grant Commissions to raise and procure Arms and Ammunition for great Numbers of Men: In doing whereof (considering the great Trust reposed in him) no Man of Honour, or moral Honesty can truly blame him: But, at the same time, he takes all Opportunities, both Private and Publick, to declare, That whenever his Majesty shall signifie his Royal Will and Plea∣sure, for disbanding the Army that now is, or hereafter shall be raised upon the Commissions now issuing; or shall give direction for any other Alteration in the Government, he will, without one Day's hesitation, himself, and those of his Re∣lations, and other Dependents in the Army, whom you know to be very Numerous, give an exact Obedience. And if any should be so Fool-hardy, as to scruple or make the least delay of doing so, they shall in a few Days be taught and com∣pelled to do their Duty.

I must likewise tell you, That in this Conjuncture of Affairs, the Thieves and Robbers are not only become more Numerous, but likewise much more Insolent; and instead of small Thefts, do now drive away by Force whole Herds, and sometimes, when overtaken, deny to restore the Prey. This in many Places, and especially in the North-west, is done by the Cottiers and Idlers in the Country, but father'd generally on the Army; of which I have now an Instance before me from Bal∣lenglass.

All this, I know, you have had repeated to you from di∣vers Hands; however, I thought my self obliged in the Sta∣tion which I hold, to give you this summary Account of our present Condition, which God knows is very bad, and in all humane probability, if we take not up more Charity than as yet we have for each other, will receive sharp Corrosives, and bitter Potions, to bring us even to the hopes of living, though in great Penury and Want. Nor can we expect, in Case that any Resistance shall be made by the Roman Catho∣licks here, that we shall see any End thereof, until the Build∣ings, Plantations, and other Improvements of Thirty Years

Expence and Industry be utterly wasted, and the Kingdom brought to the last degree of Poverty and Confusion, and from the most improved and improving Spot of Ground in Europe, as you saw it Six Years since, become a meer Acheldama, and upon the matter totally desart. For Armies when once raised, must be maintained by the Publick, or will maintain them∣selves: Nor can Military Discipline be expected, where the Soldier hath not his Wages; and whether that can be had out of the publick Treasury here, I referr to you, who have weighed the Revenue of the Kingdom, when at the best, even to a Drachm. But after all this, I am confident and assured, That the Government of England will and must at length take place here, against all Opposition whatsoever. It hath cost England too much Blood and Treasure to be parted with; but, if it should come to a Contest of that kind, the Victors (I fear) will have little to bragg of, and will find in the Conclusion, nothing but Ruins and Rubbish, not to be re∣paired in another Age. Nor will the People thereafter reckon of any Security or Stability in this Kingdom, so as to ap∣ply themselves to the repair of them, but expecting such periodical Earthquakes here, will provide themselves of Re∣treats in England and Scotland, as many have of late, and dai∣ly do.

Your Patience is, I fear, by this at an End; when you begin to enquire with your self, To what purpose it is that I have given you all this Trouble. I must confess, your En∣quiry is not without Reason; but however to you, whose Friendship I have always found, and valued my self much on it, I do without difficulty declare what hath induced me here∣unto.

The wonderful Alterations which a Month's Time hath produced in England, in regard to the Protestant Religion, and the Universality of it; the little Blood that hath been spilt in so great a Change; the few Acts of Hostility, and little dis∣quiet which has as yet appear'd, has almost perswaded me, That this Unfortunate Kingdom may, by the Interposition of moderate Men, be restored to the same Estate of Religion and Property, that it rejoyced in Seven Years since, with an addi∣tion

of further Security for the preservation of both, if more be requisite, considering the many Acts of Parliament still in Force in this Kingdom.

It cannot be imagined (Sir) but there are very many who having either lost their Estates upon the Forfeitures of 1641. or by their Profuseness and Prodigality, spent what they were restored to, would willingly see the Kingdom once more in Confusion and Blood; designing by Licentiousness and Ra∣pine, to supply their Extravagancies. There want not on the other Hand, some who conceive, That the Court of Claims has contrary to the Settlement, taken from them their Possessions, without Reprisals; and very many, who being put by their Employments and Commands, wish for a Time to expostulate with those who are possessed of them. But all these, in my humble Opinion, ought to give way to the pub∣lick Quiet and Settlement of a whole Nation, ready to fall into Ruine.

I am verily perswaded, That with a little good Manage∣ment, the generality of the Roman Catholicks, and indeed of the whole Kingdom, would be very glad to be put into the same Condition in all respects, as they were Six Years since; and desire no more than an Assurance, it should not be made worse. And if there be Faith to be found in Man, the Lord Deputy and Roman Catholick Nobility and Gentry of the Kingdom, who are universally concerned in the present Army, and in that which is to be raised, will, upon the first signifi∣cation of his Majesty's Pleasure to that purpose, unanimously Disband, retire▪ to their several Dwellings, and apply them∣selves to advance the Quiet and Wealth of the Kingdom. Nor can I ever doubt his Majesty's Condescention and Care for the Preservation of this His Kingdom, and preventing the Effusion of Christian Blood. For most assuredly, if War should happen here, which God of his Infinite Mercy pre∣vent, His Majesty would be the only great Sufferer, in the Loss of so many Subjects Lives; wherein consists the Wealth and Strength of the greatest Monarchs.

There are very many now at London who know the State and Condition of this Kingdom much better than I pretend to; what I now write, I design not as a Secret, but if you think it worth Consideration, I leave it to you, to Communi∣cate it to such as you shall think fit: And, if there be any thing in it worthy their Thoughts, I must declare that there is nothing within the reach of my Industry, that I will not endeavour in the method of my Profession, for the main∣tenance of Religion and Property, as established by the Laws of this Kingdom; and should die with the greatest satis∣faction, and reckon it a Nobler Posterity than any Man can pride himself in, if I could be in the least Instrumental in the setling Peace and Quiet, without more hazard or Loss to this my Native Country, which I make no doubt the Almighty will in his good Time effect, by his own Means and Instru∣ments, more deserving of so great a Blessing from him than I am. If this find any Room with your self, other thinking Men, or such who have great Stakes here, let me know your Thoughts, with what convenient speed you can; it being a matter in which a moment is not to be lost; and the first Step to be made there; since it cannot be expected that the Lord Deputy will do any thing in a matter of so great Moment, without His Majesty's Directions.

(N^o 15.) Proposals humbly offered to the Earl of Tyr∣connell, Lord Deputy, by the Bishop of Meath, about the intended Search for Arms.

WHEREAS Your Excellency hath ordered by Your Declaration, That a Search shall be made in every House in Dublin, for Arms and Ammunition; and that, in Case any shall be found upon Search, that the Persons with whom they are found, shall be left to the Mercy of the Sol∣diers: This Penalty is thought unreasonable on these following Accounts.

First, Because it is not determin'd by the Declaration, who shall be the Searchers; for if the matter be manag'd as hi∣therto it hath been, that every one who pretends to be a Sol∣dier must have liberty to search, and in such Numbers, and as often as they please, no House can be safe; for that some have been already searched, by Six Companies after one ano∣ther, and that in the same Day. And if any of these should pretend to find a Pistol, or Bagonet, or Horn of Powder, though he brought it out of his Pocket, with a design to draw an inconvenience on the House; yet, by the Declaration, the House and all that is in it, must be left to the Mercy of the Soldiers; and, by this means, the Innocent may suffer as well as the Guilty.

Secondly, That if the Soldiers be permitted to search, there will be so much Damage by it to this City, that an Age can∣not Repair it: For, by this means, every Place that is ca∣pable of concealing Arms, must be left to their Discretion; the Boards will be rip'd up, partition Walls broken down, Wainscot taken down, Cellars digg'd up, the Foundations of Houses endanger'd, Barrels of Beer open'd, Provocations of∣fer'd and received, the Safety of the People in apparent ha∣zard, many things taken away without hopes of Restitution; the Looms of Tradesmen, and the Instruments of Artificers destroyed, and his Majesty's Interest dis-served after all by the

Soldiers, endeavouring rather to serve their own Ends than his Majesty's true Interest.

Thirdly, In many Houses there are several Families, Lodgers and Servants of several Sorts; and if any of these, either out of Malice or Folly, or good Will to their Masters, con∣ceal any Arms, though never so inconsiderable, all the rest, though Innocent, must suffer for it; which is against E∣quity and Justice, that requires every Man to suffer only for his own Fault, and not for the Fault of others.

Fourthly, Many have had Lodgers in their Houses for seve∣ral Years, whose Truncks and Papers are still there, and pos∣sibly Arms may be in them, which the House-keeper knows nothing of. It is therefore Unreasonable, That either the Owners of such Goods being absent, or the Masters of the House that know nothing of it, should suffer for what they cannot help. By this means, Papers may miscarry, and the Estates of Men be ruin'd and undone.

Fifthly, Many Landlords, Owners of Houses, are either gone for England, or absent elsewhere about their lawful Oc∣casions, and their Servants may either not know where their Arms are, or foolishly endeavour to conceal them, and so ex∣pose their innocent Masters to Ruine.

Sixthly, The leaving Persons to the Mercy of the Soldiers, is a Punishment so unknown to our Laws, and so strange to these Kingdoms, that the Execution of it will be agreat pre∣judice to his Majesty's Affairs, and alienate the Hearts of his Subjects more from him, and do him (whose Presence they expect.) more mischief than the Arms can do him good. It is an ill President, and may in time destroy the whole Kingdom, and subvert the Law.

It is therefore humbly proposed, That in case your Excel∣lency be not satisfied with the Returns already made, and to be made; but you will still go on with the Search, that your Excellency would graciously condescend to these following Expedients, for the better Ease and Quiet of his Majesty's Subjects.

First, That whereas each Parish is divided into its several Wards, that your Excellency would order the Search to be made by the Deputy Alderman of each Ward, with the As∣sistance of One or more Military Officers, as your Excellency shall think fit, and not by the Soldiers; for by this means, what Arms are found, will be secured for his Majesty's Use, and the Subject freed from the fears of Plunder and Ruine.

The Search intended is so provided for, to be by an Al∣derman and an Officer.

Secondly, That no Man be responsible for more than his own Goods, nor the Punishment inflicted on any but the Guilty.

His Excellency consents to this.

Thirdly, That regard be had to the Goods and Papers of all Persons that be absent, and who by reason of their Absence be∣fore the Declaration was published, cannot be presumed to be Violaters of it.

His Excellency consents to this.

Fourthly, That a Declaration be published to this purpose for informing the People of your Excellency's Intentions, which will contribute much to the allaying of their Fears, and the Quiet of their Minds.

His Excellency allows the Bishop of Meath, to declare this to all Persons.

Fifthly, That whereas your Excellency did by your Decla∣ration, order all Arms to be returned into the Parish-Churches; and yet in some Parish-Churches there were no Officers appoint∣ted to receive them; that your Excellency would by a new Pro∣clamation, order such Arms as have not yet been delivered for want of such Officers to receive them; be received by such as your Excellency shall think fit to appoint.

An Account of this to be given to the People, by themselves or Church-Wardens, or Clerks; as also publick Notice in the Church to Morrow Morning.

The Return to be made to the Clergy by the Inhabitants, and by the Clergy to the Bishop of Meath.

That his Excellency doth not intend to bind himself from searching for Arms in the City of Dublin by the late Decla∣ration, because it was published before its Time, and without his Order, in Case a more due Return of Arms be not made, then he hath hitherto received.

(N^o 16.) An Account of the Conditions made in the Field, between the High-Sheriff of Galway, and the Prisoners after condemned.

WHEREAS James Power, Esquire, High-Sheriff of the County of Galway, Captain Thomas Burk, Com∣mander in Chief of his Majesty's Forces quarter'd in the Town of Loughreagh, having Intelligence, That several Gentlemen and others, on the First Day of March instant, travelled the Road leading from Irris in the County of Clare, towards the Town of Loughreagh, being the Road they intended to go, met them there, and demanded their Horses and Arms for his Majesty's Use; which, upon Capitulations made be∣tween the said James Power, Esquire, and Captain Thomas Burk of the one Part, and Sir. Thomas Southwell, Baronet, Bartholomew Purdon, Esquire, and Thomas Miller, Esquire, on the other Part, in behalf of themselves, and of all as well Gentlemen and others that were with them, and of their Company, were freely and peaceably delivered and given up by them to us for his Majesty's Service, on these following

Conditions. The Capitulation which we the said James Power Esquire, and Captain Thomas Bourk promised them in behalf of the Government, should be honourably and punctu∣ally perform'd and kept.

Imprimis,

That they and every of them should have their Lives pre∣served, and that whatsoever they had acted in that Affair (they affirming, that their coming in that posture was for preserva∣tion of their Lives) should be forgiven and forgotten; and Passes given them, or any of them, to go where they pleased (provided they did not go to the North or Sligo) without be∣ing rifled, or any thing taken from them, except such Horses and Arms as were fit for his Majesty's Service.

Secondly, That every Gentleman of them should have their own Pistols and Swords, and one Nagg or Horse given them to ride on, in Case his own (being musterable) should be taken from him.

Thirdly, That if they desired it, they should have a Party of Horse or Foot to protect them, for their greater Safety in Travelling where they or any of them had a desire to go, ex∣cept to the North or Sligo as aforesaid. Given under our Hands and Seals, the First Day of March, 1688. and in the First Year of his Majesty's Reign, James the Second, by the Grace of God King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, &c.

Note, That it happened near Night when they met, so that the Agreement before-mentioned, could not be reduced into Writing in the Field; but several times since being ten∣dred to the said High-Sheriff and Captain to Sign; they still declined it, but nevertheless acknowledged the Truth thereof before the Lord Galway, Father Dolphin the Friar, and others in Loughreagh. And about Eight or Nine Days after, the said Captain Bourk Signed a Certi∣ficate in Presence of Captain Arthur French; and the said High-Sheriff writ a Letter to the Lord-Deputy, contain∣ing the principal Part of the said Articles, as by the fol∣lowing Copy may appear.

Captain Bourk's Certificate, deliver'd by Captain . . . . to Captain French, Good Friday, 1688.

WHereas on the First Day of this Instant March, Sir Tho∣mas Southwell, with a considerable party of Horse, were Travelling from the County of Clare, through the County of Galway, near Loughreagh; an account whereof being brought to Captain Thomas Bourk, whose Troop Quartered at Lough∣reagh, and on Notice immediately with his Troop repaired to meet the said Thomas Southwell and his Party, and having drawn up within Shot each of other, the said Thomas sent one to give an account of his and his friend's Design to ride, without Offence, through the County, and prayed not to be molested: Whereupon the said Captain Thomas Bourk made answer, That without the Governments Pass so consider∣able a Party should not ride where he had power to hinder them. Then the said Sir Thomas desired to be permitted to return whence he came. To which he was answered; That by a late Order from the Government, Captain Bourk was to seize all Arms and Horse fit for his Majesty's Service in the County of Galway, and that he would not permit them to go on, nor return till he had their Horse and Arms; and persi∣sting firm therein, the said Sir Thomas and his Party submitted, and declared their Obedience to the Governments Order; he the said Captain Thomas Bourk assuring them that he would se∣cure them their Lives, and offer'd them such small Naggs as he thought fit to carry the said Sir Thomas and Chief Gentle∣men back to their respective Homes. This I the said Captain Thomas Bourk having promised on my word, do now Certifie for Truth, as Witness my hand this 9th Day of March, 1688/9.

THO. BOURK.

A Copy of the High-Sheriff's Letter, delivered to Mr. French on Good-Friday, 1688. per Captain Jourdon.

May it please your Excellency,

Loughreagh, March 9th. 1688/9.

IT happened on Friday last, the first Day of this Instant, I had Intelligence, that a Party of Horse with Sir Thomas Southwell and others, were making their way through this Country to Sligo or the North, being routed out of Munster; whereupon the Horse and Foot in this Town being command∣ed by Captain Thomas Bourk and Captain Charles Dawly, made ready to intercept the said Sir Thomas and his Party, who met upon a Pass and faced one another; but a Treaty being propo∣sed, they came to Capitulation, wherein it was agreed, that the said Thomas and his Party should lay down such Horse and Arms as was fit for the King's Service; and after so doing, that they and every of their Lives should be secured them, and dismissed with such Passes and Convoys as may bring them safe to their several Habitations without any Harm to their Persons or Goods. All which with Submission at their re∣quests I humbly offer to your Excellency, and subscribe,

Your Excellency's Most Humble, and Most Obedient Servant, JAMES POWER.

(N^o 17) A Copy of a Letter from Bishop Maloony to Bishop Tyrrel; the Original found amongst Bi∣shop Tyrrel's Papers.

March 8th. 1689.

I Have yours▪ (my D. L.) of the 29th of January last, your Style by Mr. Despont. 'Tis large and plain enough, and another before more Concise and in Merchants Style, both tending to the same end, and of which I made use to the same purpose, notwithstanding all the Discomposure of my Health this Month past, as you shall I hope find by the Effects e'er this comes to your hands; for the King upon your earnest Invitation in both your said Letters, and by other strong Considerations, took of a sudden the Resolution to go unto you, and parted hence this day Sennight being the last of February, and I hope in God is by this time landed somewhere in Ireland, for the Wind serves fair e∣ver since he parted; and he did expect to be on Friday Night (this being Monday following) at Brest, where all things, and most part of the Officers were in a Readi∣ness staying for his Majesty's Arrival, for to part with the first Wind. I wrote unto you in that Conveniency by Sir Neal O Neal, and another by Post at the same time. This will go flower, and by the second Voyage of the same Ships when they come back for more Men and Commodities. It goes by a Friend I dare trust with all the Secrets of it; and so I will be full, plain, and over∣board.

The Bearer is Doctor Butler, a good Gentlemans Son, of a good Estate when People enjoyed their own Birth-right, to which he is become himself Heir, if he can recover it; In which I shall beg your Favour and Protection for him when occasion doth require. He has made all his Studies and took his Degrees here; I have sufficiently instructed

him of all the Contents of this Letter by word of Mouth for fear of any Miscarriage; and although I ought to pre∣sume that all and every of you there (and especially so clear sighted and foreseeing Persons as you, and others like you) need no Advertisement, or Spurr; Yet my Zeal pro Fide, Rege, & Patria, could not dispense with me to be silent from writing, when I am not upon the Place to speak my Sense as others.

Now, my Lord, you have the King so much wished and longed for, of whom we may say without Offence, as of our Saviour, hic positus est in Ruinam & Resurrectionem mul∣torum: If you make good use of him, you may get a Re∣surrection of many by him; but if you make a bad use, you may get their Ruine; so all depends, under God, of the good or bad use you make of his Presence amongst you; it is but a special Providence of God that he is so unex∣pectedly gone thither: But when God's Providence is ei∣ther slighted or neglected by People not helping themselves, and not making use of the Occasions offered them by Providence, God can and does usually with-draw his special Providence; Conantes adjuvat, exauditque deprecantes, says St. Augustin. My Lord, the Game you have now to play is very nice and ticklesome. The Religion, King, and Countries Ruine or Re∣surrection depends on it; If you play it well, you will carry all and save all; but if you play it ill, you will lose all and for ever: All consists in resolving well how to dispose of Ireland, in the present Conjuncture, being the only Coun∣try that appears now for the King; wherein you have two Parties to manage; The one, to wit the Protestant-New∣comers and Usurpers, under the Rebellion of Cromwell are suspected, or rather certain can nor will ever be Loyal or Faith∣ful, whatever Outward Shew or Promises they make: Which is manifest by their several Instances in our Days both in England and Ireland. The other Party, to wit, the Catho∣licks of Ireland proved still faithful and Loyal to the King at Home and Abroad, though very ill recompensed. Now the great question to be decided will be, whether (setting a∣side the manifest and incontestable Injustice of that most

barbarous and inhumane Act, they wrongfully call THE SETTLEMENT OF IRELAND.) Whether I say it is more politick and prudent to trim and temporize now with those Usurpers, promising really or seemingly not to disturb them in their unjust Possessions, than to restore the true ancient Proprietors; turn off, or rather secure the Usur∣per, and make up a strong and potent Army, all of True, Loyal, Faithful and Incorruptible Men, without any mixture of Trimmers or Traytors! I would think the Question thus Stated, is soon resolved by natural Reason, divers Instances and sad Experiences. What Man of Sense or Reason can ima∣gin, that those who by their Rebellion cut off their King's Head like a Scelerate on a Scaffold, banished his Queen and Children into Foreign Countries to beg their Bread for so many Years together; and after the Heir's Restauration to his Crown, not only put so many hard and unjust Conditions upon him; namely that of excluding the Irish Catholicks from the Amnestly General, but also used so many foul Means and Con∣trivances to murther and massacre him and his Brother toge∣ther; and seeing the King Issueless, to use all their Endea∣vours to exclude the Brother from his lawful Birth-right and Succession to the Crown; and when they could not by a Legal and Parliamentary way perform it, at last draw Foreign Power into the Kingdom, with whom by a most horrid Rebellion, and most traiterous Defection, they all join, and turn him from his Throne, and banish him with his Queen and Son, the only lawful Heir of the Crown, into Foreign Countries; again placed a Foreigner upon the Throne in a Month's time, after declaring the Crown vacant, though he and his Son still alive. All these barba∣rous and traiterous Transactions done within Forty Years time in the Face of the World; By all which experiences, the present King in his own Person passed; but how can it be possible (say you) that the King having tried in his own Person all these Instances and Experiences, with several others, he could be thus impos'd upon and de∣luded: I tell you, by the same Reason, that you may be now deceived, if you are not cautious; that is, by

want of Capacity and Sincerity in his Advisers; telling him still, he must do nothing that may irritate or pro∣voke the Anger of the Protestants of England, who are very dangerous; That he must get them by fair means, granting them all they desire; nay preventing their de∣sires by all good Offices and Marks of Kindness, even to the Prejudice of his Crown and Dignity. By this fair Politick, they hindred him from drawing Succour out of Ireland sooner, from making up a Catholick Army that would stick to him, instead of a Protestant one that betrayed him; hindered him also from having any Succour from France offer'd him: Obliged him to declare that he had no Alliance with France; and never to believe that the Dutch had any Design upon him or his Country, till they were in the very Bowels of it. Let any Man of Sense see if such rotten Principles and Politicks, that pro∣duced such Fatal Effects, ought to be insisted upon or em∣braced. If the King of France had not been too generous and too Christian a Prince; were it not a sufficient Mo∣tive for him to reject the King in his Disgrace, that upon those rotten Principles rejected his Alliance; yet those, and only those Principles, will be made use of to perswade you there, that you must not think of your own Restau∣ration and Assurance at Home first, but go into England to restore the Catholicks: And if there be any other Adhe∣rents of the King's there, and that it will be time enough to think of your own Restauration after: Which, is the same as to say, at Dooms-day: For never a Catholick or o∣ther English, will ever think or make a step, nor suffer the King to make a step for your Restauration, but leave you as you were hitherto, and leave your Enemies over your Heads to crush you any time they please, and cut you off Root and Branch, as they now publickly declare: And blame themselves they have not taken away your Lives a∣long with your Estates long ago; nor is there any English∣man, Catholick or other, of what Quality or Degree soever alive, that will stick to sacrifice all Ireland for to save the least Interest of his own in England, and would as willing∣ly

see all Ireland over, inhabited by English, of whatsoever Religion as by the Irish: and yet by their fine Politicks, they would perswade the Irish to come and save their Hou∣ses from burning, whilst they leave their own on fire: Which is no better than to look upon People as so many Fools, when every body knows that Charity begins at Home: that one's Charity for himself, is the Rule and Measure of that he ought to have for his Neighbour; diliges proximum tu∣um sicut teipsum. Is it not a better and more Christian Politick for the King, and all that are faithful unto him, to restore first a whole Kingdom that stands out for him when all the rest failed, to their Birth-right which they have been out of these Thirty Six Years, only for being obstinately Loyal to his Father, Brother and himself, than to displease those who have been and are still Loyal, (and who can get any Condition they please from the Enemy to join with them) by thus pleasing or trimming with those who never were, or ever will be True or Faithful; and when they are thus restored, and no Enemies left in their Bowels that can do his Majesty or them any Harm, then to go in a strong Body together with his Majesty into England, join with all such that will prove Faithful and Loyal, and so re∣store his Majesty to his Throne, and each one to his right. I would fain know from these trimming Politicks, whether it be not securer and more honourable for the King to offer all fair Means, and shew his Clemency to his People when he is in Condition to force them to what he pleases to ex∣act of them, than to be daily undervaluing himself by offering them all the fair Means imaginable, which they slight and scorn, because they seeing he has no Means, to force them or do them Harm, think he does all only out of fear, and not by any sincere or true Affection; And I would fain further know, if it be not better and greater Policy for him to put the Kingdom of Ireland (still so Loyal unto him) up∣on the best and highest Foot both Ecclesiastical and Temporal he can contrive, and yet granting it nothing but its natural Right and Due, that it may be a Check upon the People of England, who are ready every

New-Moon to Rebel, then to keep it still in a con∣tinual Slavery and full dependance on such perfidious and inconstant People, and himself deprived of the support he can still have from thence against their Revolt: I dare averr, if Ireland were put upon such a foot by the King, he shall never fear any Rebel∣lion in England, especially if Scotland be faithful to him, and France a Friend; all which can now be well contrived and concerted. But when all is done, I would fain yet know from those Politick Trimmers, by what Law of God or Man, Ecclesiastical or Poli∣tick, they think Ireland is bound to be the Sacrifice and Victim of the Rebellion of England, either for to hinder those turbulent People from Rebelling, or for to Reconcile them to their Duty, by giving them, forsooth, as Recompence, the Estates of those unfor∣tunate Catholicks, and send themselves a begging; I dare say, no Catholick in England, much less a Pro∣testant, (who would so easily give his consent and advice, that the Estates of the Irish Catholicks may serve as a Recompence for the English Rebels) would willingly give a Plow-Land of his own Estate to Re∣concile all the Rebels of England to their Duty, if he were not afraid to lose his own whole Estate by the Rebellion, and yet would advise to do to others what he would not have to be done to himself, contrary to the great Rule and Maxim of Nature and Christianity, Quod tibi fieri non vis, alteri ne feceris.

I would fain further know from this Politick Trimmer, so large of other Peoples Goods, and so spar∣ing of his own, if one Province in England had revolt∣ed against their King, as the whole Kingdom does now; and that the rest of the Provinces continued faithful, would they think fit or prudent to give their Lands and Estates to those Rebels for laying down their Arms, and go beg themselves? Or would the King expect or desire it from them? No

sure; but rather that they should take up Arms, and joyn with His Majesty to reduce and punish such Rebels in lieu of recompencing them with the Loyal's Estates: And is not that the case of the Irish? Why do you not then judge alike? Or if you do not look upon an Irish man as a Fool, why will you have him do what you say is not fit for your self or other fellow-Subjects to do in like case? And sure you must think him a Fool▪ and after-wit, as you use, to say, if he will be perswaded, by your Trimming Politick, to leave his own Estate to his Enemy, and come to save yours; who would but laugh at him the next day at the best for his folly: If their great and long Vexations have not given the Irish better understanding, and know how little regard all the English whatsoever have for them, they deserve to be dealt with like Fools.

But who would think it were Prudent or Politick for the King to bring a great Body of Men out of Ireland into England or Scotland, leaving behind him in Ireland a considerable strong Party of Phanaticks, all Enemies, whatever outward shew they make to the contrary, to rise in Arms as soon as they see the King turn his Back to them, and they get a supply from their fellow Rebels out of England, which will not be wanting at any time, and so cut the Throats of all His Majesty's true Subjects in Ireland, and shut himself up between two Potent Enemies in England, and Ireland; whereas by setting the Irish on a sure foot, he always hath for a Refuge that Country, which he will find to be far better than no∣thing, and may be with time, a means to come into Eng∣land: But Trimmers will tell him, That it is no matter for His Majesty, if he can gain the English Rebels by sacrificing Ireland to them who will inhabit it, whether English or Irish; nay, I believe rather English, and so make it an English Interest all along; and he will be apt to believe it: but it imports the Irish to look about them▪ and consider if that be their Interest.

Add to all these considerations, with many more and better you can think of, an essential and indispensible one, which is to please this King and Court, of whom his Majesty now, and you all depend solely and whol∣ly, by saving their Interest along with that of his Ma∣jesty and your own, which cannot be done but by settling of Ireland upon the best and most advantageous foot that can be contrived with Reason and Justice, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 it may be a Check upon England, as Scotland formerly, to keep it from Rebellion against their own Prince: From trouble and Invasion upon France, and a Tye upon the Kings of England hereafter to keep good Cor∣respondence with France, and keep Ireland in a flourish∣ing happy condition, and not to be Slaves to all the People, and Scums of England. If 48, or other, were loath to press any such Conditions or Proposals on the King, they may make use of the French Minister Count D'Avaux, who is with him as a good Adviser, and for to manage his Masters Interest. I think it may be well and rationally proposed, if by the King of France's means such an advantageous settlement may be procured for the Nation; and that he would be as a Guarranty or Protection of it, to give him as well for his assurance or Guarranty, as for the payment of what he advances for the King and Country, some Sea-ports in Ireland, as you have hinted in your last.

This is what now comes into my head upon this Sub∣ject, which M. B. does not neglect to insinuate and im∣print as much as he can, (though not well in his health) into the Heads and Hearts of the Ministers and People about Court. Though 27 gave no Power or Credit to any body here to speak of Business, but to his Son-in-Law L. W. (in Cypher 110.) but M. B. does it privately upon his own account and acquaintance with the People, without thwarting him in any of his Ways. But you know what one says, tanquam potestatem habe••s, carries more weight than what he says as a private man; And

therefore I think it were not amiss that 48. from him∣self, or by the said French Ministers means may get order from 27 that 92 may be heard and Credited at Court as to the Concerns of 78, which to prevent and hin∣der some that would not have it put into 27's head (as 'tis thought) to desire 92 to follow him as soon as he were well in his health along with 23, and before he saw himself to tell him so; knowing he was sick, gave orders to 18's fellow traveller (whom I added to the Cypher thus 112) to tell him so, which he has perform'd only by another, Master Barry, belonging to 34, for he never came himself to see him, which I think was not pru∣dently done of him, (setting civility aside) for they may communicate one to another what may be best to do with 86 for the service of 78, and certain∣ly without any vanity 92▪ knew better how to manage that interest with 86 than he or any of his profession there; But I find some do suspect the sincerity of that Man for the Publick Interest. I know not if they wrong him; but one thing I know, he does not like to see any of 64 or 65 have any hand in Business: Of which I think I gave you once already a hint from 87, when he and 98 were there; and I cannot tell but it may be he that might have given 27 that advice of draw∣ing 92 from hence, who desires not to be but where he may be most useful to his Religion, King and Country; and if any necessity may be of his Vote there, he can send you a Procuration in blank if he be thought more useful or necessary here.

'Tis now high time I suppose you should ask me what is this great and solid settlement I would have for Ireland; To which I answer; That you and others there likely know best; But that I may speak my own little sense on the matter: I say, I would have two or three of the Irish Nation to be still of the Kings Council, and one of them Secretary of State for the Affairs of Ireland, as Scotland has. I would have some of their

Nobility to be of the Bedchamber, by reason both of Honour and Interest. I would have all the Employ∣ments, Civil and Military, given to the Natives of the Country: Unless the Country thought ••it to introduce some Strangers for better advantage and improve∣ments.

I would have them restored to their Estates both Spiri∣tual and Temporal, usurped by the Cromwellians, or, under the Title of being Protestants; yet with that Proviso for the Spiritual, that a Competent Pension should be allowed to the Protestant Possessor during his Life: for he can pretend no longer Lease of it; or that he should give the Catholick Bishop or In∣cumben••▪ a competent Pension, if it were thought fitter to let him enjoy his Possession during Life.

I would have the Commerce and Traffick settled, with all the Advantage due to a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Nation and Sub∣jects, (of which the Merchants 〈◊〉〈◊〉 inform best) without any other dependence on, or relation to England, but what Subjects ought to the King and Crown▪ of which I would not derogate in the least, but nothing to do with the Merchants and People of England, no more than with those of France, Spain and Holland.

But my Politick Trimmer will say, this is of a dangerous consequence for England, and for the King, in relation to it: for they will say the King in∣tends to establish the same Government amongst them, both in Spirituals and Temporals that he has in Ireland▪ To which I answer in the first place; That we are not here to manage or speak for the Interest of England, which would not fail to speak and stand for it self. Secondly, I say, That the Consequence from Ireland's Case to England's does not follow; For in Ireland the Catholick Party is much more nu∣merous and strong than the Protestant: So that it is for the King's Interest there to favour them, or at

least do them Justice: But in England, where the number of Protestants and other Sectaries is by much the greater, he can order things otherwise, without any Contradiction: for ••••om the one to the other the Consequence does not hold, for the Reasons afore∣said. Thirdly, There is no such thing as Restitution of Temporal Estates in England: for they were wiser there than to lose their Estates, though they would be free to consent or advise that others may; so it is very free for the King to make any Settlement of any Spiritual or Temporal Estates there as he shall think fit, notwithstanding any Settlement he makes in Ireland.

Now remains, I think, one Objection to solve, which may give some Obstruction to this intended Settle∣ment, which is that of the Gown-men, or others, who made Purchases of some New Interests, bona fide: Must they lose 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Purchase and Money? To which I answer; That although it may be reply'd, Caveat emptor, especially to the Gown-men, who knew best of all that horrid Act of Settlement, or so called, was most unjust, and could by no true Law hold; yet because they are Persons useful for the Common∣wealth, and acted bona fide (seeing the Estate out of the Ancient Proprietors Hands by so many Publick Acts, as it was not like ever to come to him again) there ought an Expedient to be found for the like, that they be not losers: and that either they or the Ancient Proprietors may be recompensed one way or other, rather than it should be an Obstacle to the com∣mon Good.

And so I have done with this matter, which I leave and recommend to God and you.

This is all the advice I can now give upon this matter: and the Observations I make by my Conversation and Acquaintance with the People this year past: and I am sure I am not deceived in my Opinion of them in relati∣tion

to 78, nor in the reasons they will make use of to per∣swade you to neglect your own Interest to save theirs; and I am no less certain 27 is all inclined that way; So you are to look to your selves, and whilst Sun shines, to make your Hay. Nune tempus acceptabile, Nunc dies Salutis; Dum ergo tempus habemus operemur bonum, maxime ad domesticos fidei. 92, if authoriz'd, will make all this Court go in your way, by shewing them it is their Interest, of which he has laid some Foundations already.

There remains another Observation; which is, That a Benedictine English Monk called Price is gone thither with the King, who pretends to play that we call here premier a••mosnier, in England they call it Clerk of the Closet to the King: which Father Peters had there: And here it is always a Bishop; Now the Bishop of Orleans, whose Office is to assist the King at Mass, and all other Ecclesiastical Functions as Chief, when the Lord High Almoner is not present, gives the orders and spiritual dire∣ctions, cum privilegio exceptionis, in the King's Palace, and Liberties of it: Why should we in our Country have any in that place but one of our selves: Let them take place in England; and so why would not you have this place for your self there, or get it for M. B. and exercise the Functions in his absence, rather than a Stranger should have it before our face and laugh at us.

Now to other business, you are to know, your business in Rome is concluded upon and past all difficulties; only remains the Expedition of the Bulls, which you may ever move as you please: The Expences whereof, by Dr. Sleyn's great care and Sollicitation, with the help of Cardinal Howard, and means of Monsieur Casone, Favo∣rite to his Holiness, are reduced to a hundred Roman Crowns; though it cost Dr. Fuller for worse 170. not∣withstanding all the Favours and Sollicitations, which were many, he could employ.

No. 22. An Address to King James in Behalf of the Purchasers under the Act of Settlement by Judge Keating.

THis humble Representation made unto your Sacred Majesty is in the Behalf of many Thousands of your Majesties du∣tiful and obedient Subjects of all Degrees, Sexes, and Ages. The Design and Intention of it, is to prevent the Ruine and Deso∣lation, which a Bill now under Consideration, in order to be made a Law, will bring upon them and their Families, in case your Majesty doth not interpose; and by your Moderation and Justice protect them so far as the known Laws of the Kingdom, and Equity and good Conscience will warrant and require.

It is in the Behalf of Purchasers, who for great and va∣luable Considerations, have acquired Lands and Tenements in this Kingdon; by laying out not only their Portions and Provisions made for them by their Parents, but also the whole Product of all their own Industry, and the Labour of their Youth; together with what could be saved by a frugal Ma∣nagement, in order to make some certain Provision for Old Age and their Families, in Purchasing Lands and Tenements under the Security of divers Acts of Parliament Publick Decla∣rations from the late King: And all these accompanied with a Possession of Twenty five Years.

Divine Providence hath appointed us our Dwelling in an Island; and consequently, we must Trade or live in Penury, and at the mercy of our Neighbours. This necessitates a Transmu∣tation of Possessions, by Purchase from one hand to another, of Mortgaging and Pledging Lands for great and Considerable Sums of Money, by charging them with Judgments; and in∣deed,

gives Name to one of the greatest Securities made use of in this Kingdom, Statutes Merchant, and of the Staple; and very many, especially Widows and Orphans, have their whose Estates and Portions secured by Mortgages, Bond of the Staple and Judgments.

Where or when shall a Man Purchase in this Kingdom; Un∣der what Title or on what Security shall he lay out his Money, or secure the Portions he designs for his Children: If he may not do it under divers Acts of Parliament, the solemn and reite∣rated Declarations of his Prince, and a quiet and uncontrovert∣ed Possession of Twenty Years together, And this is the Case of thousands of Families who are Purchasers under the Acts of Settlement and Explanation.

It were a hard task to justifie those Acts in every Particular contained in them; I will not undertake it; but if it be consi∣der'd, that from 23. October 1641. until 29. May 1660. the time of his Majesties Restauration, the Kingdom was upon the matter in one continued Storm; That the alterations of Pos∣sessions was so universal, and Properties so blended and mixt by Allotments and Dispositions made by the then Usurping Powers: It may be well concluded, that they must be some∣what more then Men, that could or can frame a Law to take in every particular Case, though it should have swoln to many Volumes, and Laws, which are to be of such universal Con∣sequence as this was, are to have a Regard to the Generality of a Kingdom or People, though possibly some particular Person may have some hardship in his private Concern.

But if we may judge by general Laws; by the produce and effect of them, and at the same time have a Prospect to the Estate and Condition of this Kingdom from 1640. and as far backwards as you please, until the time of his late Majesties happy Restauration; and at the same time take into Conside∣ration what the Kingdom became in few years after the Com∣mission for the Execution of those Acts were at an end; the Buildings, and other Improvements; the Trade and Com∣merce; the vast Heads of Cattel and Flocks of Sheep, equal to those of England; together with great Sums of money brought over by our Fellow-Subjects of England, who came to Pur∣chase and Plant in this Kingdom: The Manufactures set on

foot in divers parts; whereby the meanest Inhabitants were at once inriched and civilized, it would hardly be believed it were the same Spot of Earth: Nay, Over-flown and Moorish Grounds were reduced to the bettering of the Soyl and Air. The Purchasers who brought the Kingdom to this flourishing Condition, fly to your Majesty for Succour, offering not only their Estates and Fortunes, but even their Lives to any Legal Trial within this your Majesties Kingdom, being ready to sub∣mit their Persons and Estates to any established Judicature; where, if it shall be found, that they enjoy any thing without Legal Title, or done any thing that may forfeit what they have Purchased, they will sit down, and most willingly acquiesce in the Judgments: But to have their Purchases made void; their Lands and Improvements taken from them; their Securities and Assurances for Money Lent, declar'd Null and Void by a Law made ex post facto, is what was never practised in any Kingdom or Countrey.

If the Bill now design'd to be made a Law, had been at∣tempted within two, three, four or five years after the Court for the execution of these Acts was ended, the Purchasers would not have laid out their Estates in acquiring of Lands, or in Building or Improving on them: Thousands who had sold small Estates and Free-holds in England, and brought the Price of them to Purchase or Plant here, wou'd have stayed at home: And your Majesties Revenue, with that of the Nobi∣lity and Gentry, had never come to the Height it did; If your Majesty please to consider upon what Grounds and Assurances the Purchasers of Lands and Tenements in this Kingdom pro∣ceed, you will soon conclude, that never any proceeded upon securer Grounds: The Acts of xvij. and xviij. of King Charles your Father of blessed Memory, the First, takes notice, that there was a Rebellion begun in this Kingdom on the 23d. of October 1641: And so doth a Bill once read in the House of Lords; whoever looks into the Royal Martyrs Discourse upon that Occasion, will see with what an abhorrence he laments it: and that he had once thoughts of coming over in Person to suppress it.

Those Acts promise Satisfaction out of Forfeited Lands to such as would advance Money for reducing these disturbers of

the publick Peace, unto their Duty. The Invitation was his late Majesties your Royal Brothers Letters from Breda some few weeks before his Restauration, which hapned the 29th of May 1660: And within six Months after, came forth his Majesties most Gracious Declaration for the Settlement of this Kingdom. This, may it please your Majesty, is the Basis and Foundation of the Settlement, and was some years after Enacted and made a Law by two several Acts of Parliament.

It is true, that the Usurping Powers in the Year 1653. (ha∣ving by the permission of the Almighty, as a just Judgment on us for our Sins, prevailed here) did dispose and set out the Estates of Catholicks unto Adventurers and Soldiers; and in a year or two after, transplanted out Catholick Free-holders for no other Reason, but their being so in Connought, where Lands were set out unto them under divers Qualifications, which they and their Heirs, or those deriving under them as Purcha∣sers enjoy'd, and still do enjoy under the Security of the before mentioned Acts of Parliament and Declaration.

His Majesties gracious Declaration of the 30th. of Novem∣ber 1660. which I call the Foundation of the Settlement, was, before it was concluded on, under the Consideration of that great Prince, and the Lords of his Council of England, where all Persons concerned for the Proprietors, as well old as new, were heard; whoever reads, will find the many Difficulties which he and his Council met with from the different and se∣veral Pretenders; what Consideration was had, and Care ta∣ken, to reconcile the jarring Interests; and to accommodate and settle, as well as was possible, the Mass and Body of Sub∣jects here.

It was some years after, before the Act for the Execution of his Majesties most Gracious Declaration became a Law; It was neer two years upon the Anvil; It was not a Law that past in few days, or sub silentio. It was first, according to the then Course of passing Laws, here framed by the Chief Governour and Coun∣cil of this Kingdom, by the Advice and with the Assistance of all the Judges, and of his Majesties Council Learned in the Law, and then transmitted into England to be further consi∣der'd of by his Majesty and Lords of his Council there, where the Counsel at Law and Agents of all Pretenders to the Pro∣priety

of Lands in this Kingdom were heard, and that Act▪ commonly called the Act of Settlement, approved of and re∣transmitted under the Seal of England to receive the Royal As∣sent, which it did, after having passed both Houses of Par∣liament.

The Innocent Proprietors being restored pursuant to thi•• Act; and some Difficulties appearing as to the further execu∣tion of it; Another Act passed, commonly called the Act of Explanation, which went the same Course, and under the same Scrutiny.

It is confessed, that though they are two Acts, it was by the same Parliament, who were chosen according to the ancient Course of Chusing Parliaments.

But if any miscarriage were in bringing that Parliament to∣gether, or the procuring the aforesaid Acts of Parliament to pass, which we can in no wise admit; and the less, for that your Majesties Revenue was granted and settled by the same Parliament, and many good and wholsom Laws therein En∣acted: Yet it is manifest, that nothing of that kind ought to affect the Plain and honest Purchaser, who for great and va∣luable Considerations, acquired Lands under the Security afore∣said, and expended the remainder of his Means in Building, Improving, and Planting on them, and that for the following Reasons.

First, The Purchaser advising with his Counsel, how to lay out or secure his Money, that it may not lie dead, not only to his, but the publick detriment, tells him that he is offer'd a Purchase of Lands in Fee, or desired by his Neighbours to accommodate him with Money upon the Security of Judgment or Statute Staple; and upon the enquiry into the Title, he finds a good and Secure Estate, as firm in Law, as two Acts of Parliament in force in this Kingdom can make it; and in many Cases, Let∣ters Patents upon a Commission of Grace for remedying of de∣fective Titles, he finds Possession both of many years gone along with this Title several descents past, and possibly that the Lands have been purchased and passed through the hands of divers Purchasers: He resorts to the Records, where he meets with Fines and Common Recoveries, the great Assurance known to the Laws of England: Under which (by the Blessing

of God) we live; and tells him there is no scruple, nor diffi∣culty of Purchasing under this Title; since he hath Security under two Acts of Parliament, Certificates and Letters Patents, Fines and Recoveries; and that no Law of force in this King∣dom can stir, much less shake this Title.

How is it possible to imagine, that the Legislative Power should be made use of to void this Mans Estate, who perhaps was never in this Kingdom, until after these Acts were Enact∣ed and became Laws; it will be the like Case with all Persons▪ who upon the Marriage of their Children, and considerable Marriage Portions paid and receiv'd, have procured Settlements for Jointured Portions, and Remainders for their Children and Grand Children: And all these are to be laid aside, without any Consideration of Law or Equity in the Case of the Purchasers, or any misdemeanor or offence committed by them: Whereby vast Numbers of your Majesties dutiful Subjects the present Proprietors and their Lessees; and in very many Cases, Wi∣dows, Orphans, Merchants and Traders, will be at one stroke outed and removed from the possessions of their Lands and Im∣provements, which in many places are more in value than the Township whereon they are made: This, with submission, without some fraud, decelt, or default of the Purchaser never was, and it is hoped never will be done by a People or Nation professing Christianity: Nor is it for the Honour, Welfare, or Advantage of the King or Kingdom to have it so done; What will strangers and our fellow-subjects of England and Scotland say?—We sold our Estates in England; transported us and our Families into Ireland, to purchase, improve and plant there: We acquired Lands under as secure Titles as Acts of Parliament, (the greatest known Security) could make them. Our Con∣veyances both by Deeds and matters of Record are allowed good, firm, and unquestionable by any Law in force at the time of the Purchase. We have had the possession 10, 12, or 15 years, and are grown old upon them. We have clearly drawn our Effects from England and settled here, not doubting but our Posterity may be so likewise. We have purchased An∣nuities and Rent Charges out of Lands under the same Securi∣ties: And now the Old Proprietors (though many of them had Satisfaction in Connaught) would fain have a new Law to dis∣possess

us of our Estates and Improvements made as aforesaid. It will not be believed, that the chief of those who drew on this Design, should in Parliament and elsewhere, which ought to consist of the gravest, wisest, and wealthiest Free-holders of the Kingdom, (for such the Law presumes them) make a noise with that good and wholsome advice—Caveat emptor in this Case; or can think that Caveat is proper here.

The Purchaser ought to be wary of any Flaw in the Title at the time of the Purchase made, and purchases at his peril, if any such there be; But who is that Purchaser that must beware of a Law to be made 20, 30, or 40 years after his Purchase, or to de∣stroy his Security for Money lent, or Settlement upon Marriage? this is not a desect in the Title, but (under favour) is a President which no humane foresight can prevent, and if once introduced, no Purchaser could ever be safe: the worst of Lotteries affording a securer way of dealing than Ireland would.

Can it be your Majesties Honour or Advantage to have thou∣sands of Families ruined by such a Proceeding as this is? What will become of our Credit, and consequently of our Trade abroad? Where will be the Reputation, and publick Faith and Security of the Kingdom, when Foreign Merchants shall know from their Correspondents here, that they cannot comply with their Engagements to them, their Estates, Houses, and Improve∣ments both in Countrey and City which they had acquired for great and valuable Consideration, and within the Securities of the Laws, are taken from them by a Law made yesterday, in case this Bill should pass: So that in Effect, we are not only con∣triving to break and ruine our own Trades and Merchants at home, but even those in Foreign parts, which will infallibly de∣stroy your Majesties Revenue, and sink that of every Subject.

Surely these Particulars, and the Consequences of them, are worth more then two or three days consideration: which is as much as this Bill could have, since the Parliament was not open'd till the 7th. of this Month:

The very Report of what is designed by this Bill, hath al∣ready from the most improved and improving Spot of Earth in Europe; From stately Herds and Flocks; From plenty of Mo∣ney at 7 or 8 per Cent. whereby Trade and Industry were en∣couraged; and all upon the Security of those Acts of Parlia∣ment;

From great and convenient Buildings newly erected in Cities and other Corporations, to that degree, that even the City of Dublin is ruined. The passing of these Acts, and the securities and quiet promised from them, inlarged double what it was; That the Shipping in divers Ports were 5 or 6 times more than ever was known before, to the vast increase of your Majesties Revenue, reduced to the saddest and most disconso∣late condition of any Kingdom or Countrey in Europe: Infinite numbers of the Inhabitants having transported themselves and Families with what remained unfixed in Purchases and Im∣provements, and was portable of their Estates into other King∣doms, that very many of the Buildings both new and old in this City, and in the very Heart and Trading Part of it, are uninhabited and waste.

It is grievous to see, as you pass through the City, the Houses and Shops shut up; The Herds and Flocks in the Countrey are utterly destroyed; So that of necessity the Tenant must break; throw up his Lease; leave the Key under the Door, and the Lands become waste; and from hence will necessarily follow, that the Farm-houses and Improvements must go to decay, and Beef, Tallow, Hides, Wooll and Butter, (from whence arise the Wealth of the Countrey) will fail us.

What is become of the frequent Declarations made by the Earl of Clarendon, and the Earl (now Duke) of Tyrconnel, of your Majesties fix'd Resolutions, never to lay aside the Acts of Settlement and Explanation? Why did the Judges in their se∣veral Circuits, declare in all places where they sate, unto the Countries there assembled, that your Majesty was resolved to preserve the Acts of Settlement and Explanation, and that they were appointed by the then Chief Governour here, to de∣clare the same unto them; from whence they took confidence to proceed in their Purchases and Improvements; and (with submission be it spoken) if this Bill pass, are deluded. Shall Patents on the Commission of Grace signify nothing? The Great Seal of England tells them they may proceed upon the publick Faith; and here again they become Purchasers, paying considerable Fines to the King, to whom Rents were reserved where none were due before, and many places the Rent in∣creased; as in case of Fairs and Markets granted, together with

the Lands on them, Patents of Liberties of Free Warren, and to enclose and empale for Park; surely some consideration ought to be had of those whose money was paid on this account.

It would be farther considered, That your Majesty before your access to the Crown, had passed several Lands and Tenements in this Kingdom in Certificate and Patent pursuant to these Acts of Settlement; and that you made Leases of them, on which many and great Improvements have been made. It is likewise true that your Majesty sold and exchanged some small proportions of the same Lands, and received in Money Twelve Years Purchase; some of which your Majesty conveyed by Fines and other assurances in Law; and though your Majesty may, if it seem meet unto you, part with all that Estate, yet it is humbly conceived, it ought to be with reservation to the Lessees and those few Purchasers, as it was done by Mary Queen of England, who though zealous in the highest degree to the Religion she professed; and that she resto∣red such part of Lands belonging unto Monasteries as remained in her hands undisposed, did nevertheless permit the Grantees and Purchasers quietly and peaceably to retain such part of them as they were possessed of by Grant or Purchase, and which (for ought appearing) is enjoyed by them, and those deriving under them to this day, though she came to the Crown within few years after Passing the Act for Dissolving Monasteries: For if no considera∣tion be had of them, your Majesty gives away the Term of Years and Improvements from your Lessees, and the Land from him to whom your Majesty sold it, without restoring the Purchase mo∣ny, than which no case can be harder; and without your Roy-Assent neither of these can be done.

For the Objections commonly made against the Acts of Settle∣ment and Explanation, which are usually, that many Innocents were never heard, and that there was not time sufficient for hearing of them; but how this should affect those who purchased after the Acts passed, and Certificates and Letters Patents passed on them is not demonstrable from any Rule of Law or Equity.

The person designing to Purchase, inquires whether the Title of the Land or Tenement to be Sold be good in Law and Equity; and being assured in that he forbears further Inquiry, being as∣sured that never any Purchaser in Possession having Law and E∣quity on his side, was dispossessed by any person▪ whatsoever upon

ground of Equity; and the Purchaser here hath the Law with him by the Acts of Settlement, and the Equity by the payment of his Money.

It is to be wished, that if Widows, Orphans, or any other per∣sons have fallen under hardship by the general settlement of the Kingdom, that some way may be devised to make them reparati∣on; but the way prescribed by this Bill, is to Rob the Innocent Purchasers, Creditors and Orphans of their Estates, to do it con∣trary to the Publick Faith, Laws of the Land, and Precept of Ho∣ly Writ, which forbids doing of Evil, that good may come thereof.

Its manifest by what has been said, that if this Bill proceed as is now contrived, that all the Protestants in the Kingdom are undoubtedly and without reserve ruined; since the Rapparees (that is, the Armed multitude) have taken away all their move∣able Estates; and this Design is to take away all the Lands and Tenements purchased by them.

The thriving Catholicks who were Purchasers (as most of the Province of Connaught are) are likewise to be turned out of their Estates and Possessions, and their own and the improve∣ments of those who hold under them utterly lost.

As to the Politick part which these great Statesmen who drive on this Bill make mention of, that will be worthy of considera∣tion: Its said, that this will unite your Majesties Subjects in this Kingdom, That is too gross to pass: since the first mentioning thereof, hath it not made a division and a breach betwixt them? nay, where there was none before? and doth it not grow daily wider? It was never heard that Accommodation between par∣ties that were all in contest could stand, unless the terms were continued; for if what was given to one of the Parties be taken away, it makes the whole Award void and of none effect; and admitting the Old Proprietor had right, it is not enough except he have it against the Purchaser: And if the Design be what is pretended, to restore this Kingdom to the Peace and Plenty which it flourished in some years since, to unite your Majesties Subjects, whereby they may be enabled according to their Duty and Allegiance, to restore your Majesty to the exercise of your Royal Dignity in all your Kingdoms; this can never be effected, except all pretenders recede in some degree from the full of their pretensions for the accommodation of the whole, and the publick quiet and safety.

Would it not be an unreasonable thing in a Cargo where divers Merchants are concerned and have Goods and Merchandizes in a Storm, to throw out by consent the Goods of any one Merchant, though in the bottom of the Hold and hardest to come by, for the safety of all concerned, without satisfaction given him, by a con∣tribution from those who had the advantage of it; or if it could be done, or had time for it, were it not much more just that the loss should be equally divided amongst them, by throwing out a just proportion from all concerned, than to single out one part of the people, and by their ruine to advance the other; This is not in my judgment the readiest way of uniting them.

Sufferance to make one step more, and Quaere, Whether the Ca∣tholick Purchasers now to be turned out of Possession, will join heartily with those that enter upon them? Farewel Trade and Commerce where Acts of Parliament shall be made to destroy securities that were good when made, Farewell all Improvements in Ireland, where no man shall ever know what Estate he hath, if the foun∣dation of the general settlement should now be overturned.

I cannot foresee what the consequences may be of having it published and made known in your Majesties other Kingdoms and Dominions and elsewhere where the Protestant Religion is professed, that such a Proposal as this (in relation to such of your Protestant Subjects as have made no defection) hath been pre∣pared for your Majesties Consideration in order to be passed into a Law, and this, when they were secure of the Laws of the Land; not so much as Common Equity to question the Title by which they held: That nevertheless use should be made of the Legisla∣tive power to Enact a new Law, after so many assurances given them to the contrary; and after so many years quiet possession to turn them out of their Estates altogether.

It is much to be feared that those who first advised this method of Proceedings, have considered their own particular advantage, and that of their Friends and Relations, without the least thoughts of your Majesties Service; for surely this can never be thought so, nor the way to settle this Kingdom whereby it may be service∣able to your Majesty; nor can it be imagined, but that men thus despoiled, will as often as Parliaments shall be called, make ap∣plication for Redress and Repeal, as in the Case of the Spencers to Repeal a Repeal, and they and their Posterity will be always

solliciting your Majesty and your Successors to give them relief in a Case of so great moment and general concern as this is.

As for the general Reprizal▪ mentioned to be made them out of the Rebels Estate (which must not be conceived to give any colour to this manner of proceeding, and ought to be equal to the Estate which the Proprietors shall be outed of) that will be very uncertain, for it must be known who the Rebels are, and what their Lands amount to, since it may be probably concluded, that there are many of your Subjects now in England no way concern∣ed in the Rebellion, and would have ere this attended your Ma∣jesty here, if they had not been hindred from coming by duress and Imbargo, and many other legal and justifiable excuses, too long for this present Paper; and withal, that where any of them are seised of any new Estates, so much must be restored to the old Proprietors, and what is also subject to their Settlements and other Incumbrances.

After all this, it is in the power of your Majesty to prevent the total ruine of so many of your Subjects as have been Purchasers and Improvers in this Kingdom, by prescribing more moderate ways than depriving them of the whole of what they have le∣gally and industriously acquired; and that Committees of both Houses may hear and enquire whether any medium may be found out betwixt the Extreams for the accommodating as near as may be the Purchaser and the old Proprietor, so that if there because of Complaint, it may not arise from a total disappoint∣ment of either Party: This is a little of what may be said on this occasion, but the hast of those who drew on this Bill will allow no further time at present.

It is proposed that his Majesty will hear Council on this occasion.

No. 23. The Lord Bishop of Meath's Speech in Parliament, June the 4th. 1689.

Spoken on the Bill of Repeal of the Act of Settlement.

My Lords,

YOur Lordships have now under yo•••• Consideration a Bill of great Weight and Importance, for the future Prosperity or Ruine of the King and Kingdom depends upon it; A Bill that unsettles a former Foun∣dation (upon which this Kingdom's Peace and Flourish∣ing was superstructed) and Designs to erect another in its stead, the Success whereof is dubious and uncertain; I shall therefore humbly crave your Leave to represent my Thoughts candidly and impartially upon it; And that so much the rather, because I am here summoned by the Kings Writ to give his Majesty my best Advice for his own Service, and the good of the Nation.

My Lords, In every Law, two things are to be consi∣der'd; First, that it be just, and doth no* 1.1 Man wrong. Secondly, and that it be pro bono publico; And I am humbly of Opinion, that this Bill is faulty in both these Respects: and therefore ought not to pass this House. It is unjust to turn men out of their Possessions and Estates without any Fault or De∣merit; To deprive Widows of their Jointures, and Chil∣dren of their Portions, when they have done nothing to forfeit them. But the Injustice will rise much higher, if we consider it with a respect to Purchasers, who have laid out all their Substance upon Estates deriv'd under the Acts that are now design'd to be Repeal'd. What have they done to make them Delinquents, except it be the laying out their Money on the Publick Faith of the

Nation, declared in two Acts of Parliament, and on the Publick Faith of his Majesties Royal Brother expressed in his Letters Patents. Their Case is yet harder, If we consider the great Improvements they have made upon their Purchases, which by this Bill they are like to lose, without any Reprizal for them; And if it be reasonable to restore the Old Proprietors to their Estates, 'tis e∣nough for them to enjoy them in the same plight and condition that they left them: But I see no Reason why they should have them in a better Condition, or enjoy the Benefit of other mens Labours and Expences, to the utter ruine of them and their Families; Here, Mercy should take place as well as Justice, for the Pur∣chasers are the Objects of them both.

Two things I am sensible, may be reply'd to this: and I am willing to consider them both. First, That if it be unjust to turn them out; It is as unjust not to re∣store the Old Proprietor, who hath been so long kept out of his Estate. Secondly, That there is no injury done to the present Possessor, because he is to be repriz'd for his Losses.

As to the first of these, I shall not at present meddle with the Reasons why they lost their Estates▪ nor touch upon the Grounds and Occasions of their forfeiting their Interests in them: being sensible that neither the time nor the place will admit a Discourse of this nature; I shall therefore take it for granted, that they were un∣justly put out: that it is just and reasonable that they should be restored: but then it must be granted, that it is unjust to turn out the present Purchaser and Pos∣sessor. What then is to be done in this Case, where the Justice or the Injury is alike on both sides: If we restore the Old Proprietor, we injure the present Possessor; if we do do not, we injure the Old Proprietor.

My Lords, It is my humble Opinion (which I sub∣mit to your Lordships better Judgments) that we are to consider in this Case, who hath most Justice on his side, and incline the Ballance that way; If it lies on the

Old Proprietors side, let him have it; If not, let the present Possessor enjoy it. Now it appears to me, that the Purchaser hath more Justice on his side than the Old Proprietor: For he has both Law and Equity on his side; he hath the Law on his side by two Acts of Parliament, and the Kings Letters Patents; and he hath the Equity by his Purchase Money; whereas the Pro∣prietor hath the Law against him, and nothing but Equity to pretend to; And I hope your Lordships will never think it reasonable to relieve a bare Equitable Right against a Purchaser that hath both Law and Equity: If you do, I am confident it is the first Pre∣sident of this kind.

As for the Reprizals, I hear the Name of them in the Bill, but I find nothing agreeable to* 1.2 the nature of them. There are certain Con∣ditions agreed on all hands, to make up the Nature of a Reprizal: None of which are like to be observed or kept here. I shall name some of them, and leave it to your Lordships Consideration, how far they are like to be performed with the present Purchasers.

It is necessary to a Reprizal, that it be as good at least, if not in some respects better than the thing I am to part with: That I my self be Judge, whether it be better or worse; That I keep what I have, till I am reprized. If my Neighbour comes to me, and tells me, that he hath a mind to my Horse▪ or to a Field of mine that lies convenient for him: I tell him, that I have no mind to part with them: He offers me Money for them: I tell him, that I will not sell them; He tires me out with Importunities, and at length, I consent to part with them in exchange for some other things as good as they: But I tell him withall, that I my self will be Judge, whether they are so or not, since it is at his importunity and to please him, that I part with them: And besides that, I am resolv'd to be possessed of the Equivolent at the same time that I part with my own, there being no reason why I

should dance attendance after him, and wait his leisure for my Reprizal.

My Lords, If these be the true Conditions of Repri∣zals, as I presume they are, I am confident that not one of them is like to be observed in the intended Reprizals, not the first of them: For by the Petitions that have been before your Lordships; and by an additional Clause in your Lordships Alterations, wherein you have saved all Remainders expectant, on Estates for Lives, most of the Reprizable Persons must Part with an Inheritance to them and their Heirs, and get only in Lieu of it an Estate for Life, which will determine with the Life of the for∣feiting Persons: So here is not Equal Value, Worth, and Purchase.

Not the Second: For, the Parties themselves are not made the Judges, but the Commissioners: And I dare say, that if they were made the Judges, there is not one of them that are to be turn'd out, that will part with their present Possessions, or that judge the Reprizal to bear any pro∣portion with the Estates they are to quit.

Not the Third: For, by the Commons Bill they are to be turn'd out immediatly, and wait for a Reprizal afterwards: and all the Favour they can obtain from your Lordships, is only to have a competent time for their removal, (which may be long or short as the Commissioners please) but out they must go at the discretion of the Commissioners, and wait their leisure for a Reprizal.

This is the first Objection against this* 1.3 Bill. The next is, that it is not for the Publick Good, either for the King or the Kingdom, or the People in it; It is not for the good of the King, who is the Vital Head of this great Body, and that whether we respect his Majesties Honour or his Profit.

It is not for his Majesties Honour to con∣sent* 1.4 to the Ruining of so many Innocent Loyal Persons as must unavoidably perish, if this Bill doth pass: It is not for his Honour to rescind those just Acts of his Royal Father and Brother, the Act

for Adventurers passed in England, and the Declaration and Acts of Settlement and Explanation, which▪ if I am not misinform'd, were five years upon the Anvil, and at last not pass'd, till all Parties were fully heard. It is not for his Majesties Honour to break his word with his People, nor violate so many repeated Promises as he hath made, that he would not Consent to the Repeal of them.

And as it is not for his Honour, so it is not for his Profit or Advantage; it will neither preserve him in the Kingdom that he enjoys, nor restore him to those that he has unhappily lost. His Profit in this King∣dom must arise out of a Constant Payment of his Re∣venue both Ordinary and Extraordinary: And who is able to pay His Revenue or support the Dignity of his Crown▪ if this Bill passeth into a Law? The Pro∣testants are not able, the Rapparees have Plundered them of all their Substance▪ and here is a Bill to take away their Estates; and consequently they will have nothing left to pay the Publick Taxes of the Na∣tion: And as for the Romanists, they will be in as ill a Condition as the Protestants; The Old Proprietor comes Poor and Hungry into his Estate, and can pay nothing till his Tenants raise it; and the present Pos∣sessor loseth the Benefit of his Purchases and Improve∣ments; and who then is able to supply the Necessities of His Majesty? Besides this, in many parts of the King∣dom, the Land is hardly able to pay the Kings Quit-Rent, by reason of the Universal Depredations that Reign every where; and can it be imagin'd but that things will grow far worse when the ablest Catholick Merchants, and the most Wealthy Purchasers of that Communion are ruin'd and undone?

And as it is not for the Kings Profit in this Kingdom, so it is to the utter Ruine of his Interest in the Kingdoms that he has lost: Will the Protestants in England and Scotland join heartily in restoring him to his Crown, when they understand how their Brethren here are u∣sed? No, My Lords, They will rather bend and unite

all their Forces to hinder his Restitution, when they con∣sider that the mischief is like to come home to their own Doors, and that what is a doing here, is but a Model of what they must suffer if he be restored. Will they trust his Word in England, when he breaks it in Ireland, or rely on his Promises to them, when he doth not keep them to his Subjects here; This, my Lords, will abate their Affections for him, and gain him more Enemies there than he can have Friends here.

It is not for the good of the Kingdom, and that if we consider it in reference to Trade, Wealth, Im∣provements,* 1.5 Husbandry.

It will ruine the Kingdom in point of Trade; Divine Providence hath placed us in an Island, where we must Trade or want many conveniences of Life; and can we expect that the Trade of this Nation will in∣crease in our hands, when we find it sunk so low by the removal of the Protestant Merchants effects out of the Kingdom, and for those Catholick Merchants that carry it on in some measure, can we believe that they will be able to carry it on, when we are ruining their Stocks by taking away their Estates and Improvements from them; Nay, we shall not only ruine our own Traders at home, but break their Correspondents abroad whose effects are in their hands. We have passed a Bill in this House for the Inviting Strangers to Settle and Trade among us; but it is worth considering, whether the Course we are now taking, will not hinder the Nation of the intended bene∣fit of that Bill; for if Foreign Merchants come among us, what Security have they but the Publick Faith of the Na∣tion, and it is not probable that Strangers will rely up∣on it, when they observe that it is so ill kept towards our own people.

If Trade decays, the Wealth of the Nation must perish with it; for they live and die together. Wealth can∣not subsist without Trade, or without security for Debt: And who will ever lend Money, or Purchase, or Improve in this Kingdom after this? when the Money that hath

been lent, and the Purchases made from Persons deriving their Estates under two Acts of Parliament, many years Possession, and Letters Patents on Record, are all blown off at once, and nothing left sure or firm in the Kingdom? For my part, I cannot understand that any Man will Pur∣chase an Acre of Land hereafter, when former Purchasers that thought themselves secure are so much discouraged. Improvements must perish likewise, for by the Petitions that have been preferred to this House, your Lordships may perceive that some Proprietors have but small Estates, 20, 40, or 100 Acres, on which Sumptuous Houses and large Gardens and Orchards have been erected, and the Income of their Estates is not able to repair the Glass Windows, or defray the Wages of the Gardiner: And as for Husbandry, what between the Old Proprietor that is to be restor'd, and cannot Manure the Ground till he is possessed of it, and the present Possessor that knows not how long his Term will hold, and therefore will be at no Charges upon a Term that depends on the Will of the Commissioners; We shall have the Plow neglected, and must feed on one another in∣stead of Corn.

My Lords, This is not all the inconvenience in it, but it is likewise to the prejudice of the People in * 1.6 the Kingdom both Protestants and Catho∣licks: The Protestants are already ruin'd by the Rapparees, and if their Estates are taken from them, I know nothing wanting to make them compleatly misera∣ble. The rich Catholicks have as yet escap'd the Depreda∣tions of their Neighbours, but they will be almost as mise∣rable as the Protestants, when their Estates and Improve∣ments are taken from them.

My Lords, This Bill doth likewise destroy the Publick Faith and Credit of the Nation; it destroys* 1.7 the Credit of England by Repealing the Act Pass'd there for the Satisfaction of Adventu∣rers; it destroys the Publick Faith of Ireland by Repealing the Acts of Settlement and Explanation; it violates the Faith of his late Majesty which hath been pass'd to his Subjects

in his Gracious Declaration for the Settlement of this King∣dom, and in his Letters Patents pursuant to it.

It subverts the Credit of his present Majesty in his Let∣ters Patents that he hath Pass'd since his coming to the Crown on the Commission of Grace, for he has receiv'd the Composition money; and if these Grants must be vacated, I cannot forbear to speak it plainly, that the Subject is de∣luded; it commits a Rape upon the Common Law, by ma∣king all Fines and Recoveries useless and ineffectual; and it invades the Property of every private Subject, by destroy∣ing all Settlements on valuable Considerations.

My Lords, This Bill is Inconvenient in point of Time. Is it now a time for men to seek for Vine∣yards* 1.8 and Olive yards, when a Civil War is rageing in the Nation, and we are under Apprehensions (I will not say fears, for it is below Men of Courage to be afraid) of Invasions from abroad; is it not better to wait for more peaceable times, and Postpone our own Concerns to the Concerns of his Majesty and the pub∣lick Peace of the Nation; To do otherwise is to divide the Spoyl before we get it, to dispose of the Skin before we catch the Beast. We cannot in this case set a better Pre∣sident before Us than the Case of the Israelites in the Book of Joshua; they had the Land of Canaan given them by God, but yet Joshua did not go about to make a Distribution of it to the Tribes, till they had subdued their Enemies, and the Lord had given them peace: Nay, My Lords, I am con∣fident that it will prejudice His Majesties Service, because every Mans eye and heart will be more on his own Con∣cerns than His Majesties Business; it is possible that their affections may be more set upon the gaining of their E∣states than the Fighting for the King; and then all their Endeavours will be drowned in the Consideration of their own profit: Moses was Jealous of this when the Two▪ Tribes and an half desired to have their Possessions on this side Jordan, before the Land was intirely subdued; and there may be the same motives to the like suspitions now.

My Lords:

Either there was a REBELLION in this Kingdom, or there was not. If there was none, then we have been ve∣ry unjust all this while, in ••••eping so many Innocents out of their Estates: And God forbid that I should open my Mouth in the Defence of so gross an Injustice; but then what shall we say to His Majesties Royal Fathers Declaration in his 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, who there owns that there was a Rebellion; and in pursuance of that Opinion, passed an Act to secure such as should adventure Money for the suppressing of it▪ Nay, What shall we say to the Two Bills that have been brought into this House: the one by an Honourable Lord, which owns it fully; the latter from the Commoners, which owns a Re∣bellion, but extenuates it? I take it then for granted that there was a Rebellion; and if so, it was either a total, or a par∣tial one: If it was a general one, then all were guilty of it, and none can pretend to be restored to his Estate, farther than the King in his Mercy shall think fit to grant it him: If it was a partial one, then some Discrimination ought to be made between the Innocent and the Guilty. The Innocent should be restored, and the Guilty excluded from their E∣states; but here is a Bill that makes no distinction between them, but Innocent and Nocent are all to fare alike: The one is to be put in as good a Condition as the other; and can your Lordships imagine that it is reasonable to do this, when we all know that there has been a Court of Claims erected for the Tryal of Innocents; that several have put themselves upon the Proof of their Innocence, and after a full Hearing of all that they could offer for themselves, have been adjudged Nocent.

My Lords:

I have Ventur'd Candidly and Impartially to lay my Thoughts before you; and I have no other design in it, than honestly to acquit my Conscience towards my KING and Country. If my Freedom hath given your Lordships any

Offence, I do here submissively beg your Pardon for it; but it is the Concern of the Nation in general, that hath made me so warm in this Affair. I have but one thing more to add, That God would so direct and instruct your hearts, that you may pitch upon those Courses, that may be for the Ho∣nour of the King, and the Benefit of the Kingdom.

Objections against the Particulars of the Bill, made by the Lord Bishop of Meath.

• I. No Penalty on such as shall enter without Injunctions.
• II. No Consideration for Improvements.
• III. No Saving for Remainders.
• IV. No Time given to Tenants and Possessors to Re∣move their Stock and Corn.
• V. No Provision for Protestant Widows.
• VI. It allows only Reprisals for Original Purchase-Money, which is hard to make out, and is an In∣jury to the Second or Third Purchaser.

WHereas Luke Fitzgerald Esquire, has proved himself be∣fore me, to be the Ancient Proprietor of the Town and Lands of Ballysannan, and that his Ancestors were Pos∣ses'd of their Mansion-house there, in the Year 1641. I do therefore, in pursuance of His Majesties Orders unto me, appoint the under-named Persons to give possession of the Mansion-house there, to Luke Fitzgerald Esquire: And for so doing, this shall be your Warrant. Given under my Hand and Seal this 6th. day of May, 1690.

An Account of Absentees Goods, and how they were imbezelled.

THE beginning of March 1688. or before, several Persons, Officers of the Army, who were impowered, or pre∣tended to be impowered by my Lord Deputy, seized on the Goods of Absentees, in most Counties of the Kingdom, except the City of Dublin.

May 7th. 1689. A Warrant comes to the Commissioners of His Majesties Revenue, under His Majesties Privy Signet and Sign Manual, dated April 29th. 1689. to impower the Commissioners of the Revenue, to call all such Persons to Account, that had seiz'd any Goods or Chattels of Absentees.

May 9th. 1689. The Commissioners of the Revenue issued out Instructions to several Persons, in the respective Counties, pursuant to His Majesties said Warrant.

As to the Country, it must be observed, That betwixt the 1st. of March, 1688. (being the Time of seizing by the Offi∣cers of the Army) and 9th. of May 1689. when the Com∣missioners were impowered, a great part of the Goods of Ab∣sentees were stolen or disposed: The Officers that seiz'd, were at the Camp at Denry; and if any Accounts were re∣turn'd by them to the Lord Deputy, the same never came to the Commissioners, though they often endeavoured with the Secretary to find any such Accounts.

The Commissioners of the Revenue thereupon sollicited a Bill to pass in Parliament, to vest the Goods of all Absen∣tees, in the King, with some fitting Power to the Commis∣sioners of the Revenue, for the more easie and expeditious bringing all Persons to Account, that had formerly seiz'd: But this met with much delay and alterations. At last the

Bill pass'd the 18th. of July, 1689. and the Scope of it a∣mounts to no more, than to vest in His Majesty, the Goods of such Persons only, as are declared Forfeiting Persons by the Act of Attainder, or Persons absent, who abet or assist the Prince of Orange, (with exception of Minors, and some Pro∣viso's by the Act of Attainder) most had time to return till the First of September; and the general Clause of all Persons that have aided or abetted the Prince of Orange, does not in∣title the King without an Office found, that such Persons did aid or abet; and this requiring Proof, and a Great Charge, there did not appear sufficient profit to arise to answer the Charge. Upon the whole Matter, this Bill seemed rather to lessen the Zeal of those employed to seize Absentees Goods, than otherwise, when they consider'd, that upon debate in Parliament, it was denyed to pass a Law that should indem∣nifie them for more than half their Seizures, even in the City of Dublin, half the Persons, whose Goods were there seized, not being named in the Bill of Attainder. However,

Aug. 9th. 1689. The Commissioners of the Revenue having appointed four Provincial Surveyors, gave them Instructions, that the Surveyor General and the Collectors, should dispose of the Stocks of Absentees; whereby it appears, that instead of neglecting that Matter of the Goods of Absentees, they seemed rather to have given Order for the disposal of them before they were forfeited.

Septemb. 14th. 1689. The Commissioners finding no satis∣factory Returns, from the Commissioners employed by them, most of the Commissioners being in the Army, or neglecting the Matter, or applying the Goods to their own Use, they superseded those Commissioners, and lest the whole Matter to their Collectors; which if done at first, some profit might have redounded to His Majesty.

2. The Goods of Absentees in the City of Dublin, were not ordered by the Lord Deputy to be seized; but the peo∣ple observing what was done in the Country, and there be∣ing

free Transportation for England in March, the Custom∣house-Key became like a Fair, and the most of Absentees Goods were then sent for England; scarce any thing valuable was then left, unless by the Carelesness of the persons employed by the Absentees.

The said 9th. of August, 1689. the Commissioners impow∣ered several persons to seize the Goods of Absentees in the City of Dublin, with like directions as the Lord Deputy gave formerly in other Counties, viz. To inventory and take se∣curity for the forth-coming of these Goods, and not to strip the Houses, or hinder Trade; for many Brewers, Ale-sellers, and other Handy-Crafts and Traders, though absent, yet had left behind them Servants, Friends, and sometimes their Wives to manage their Trade; and to have strip't those Houses, had but added to the Number of Wast Houses, and lessened His Majesties Revenue; some Ale-houses not having the Value of Forty Shillings of Absentees Goods, draw three or four Bar∣rels of Drink per Week, besides their Quartering of Souldiers, which has cost the Inhabitants more generally by far, than the Goods could be sold for these Times.

And this Matter ought at present to be well considered; for, though now the Goods are vested in the King by Law, and the best of them is to be made for the King's advantage; yet Rotten Hangings will sell only to those that have the House.

No. 25. Albavilles Instructions to the Commissioners of Oyer and Terminer.

Gentlemen,

THE many Robberies, Oppressions, and Outrages commit∣ted through all parts of the Kingdom, to the utter Ruine thereof, and to the great Scandal of the Government, as well is of Christianity, forces his Majesty to a great resentment a∣gainst those that prove Encouragers and Abettors of them, by

an unpardonable neglect in the Execution of his Royal Orders. And whereas the Issuing out Commissions of Oyer and Ter∣miner in all the Counties of the Kingdom, which was done some Months ago, was judged by his Majesty, with the Ad∣vice of his Privy Council, the most Efficacious means to pre∣vent and quash such horrid Disorders.

• I. You are Ordered by his Majesty, on sight hereof, to let Me his Principal Secretary of State know what you can alledge, to justifie your selves from the Imputation of having strangely Neglected (all this time) the Execution of your Commission, which proves the chiefest Cause of this general Desolation of the Country.
• II. You are Commanded by his Majesty, to proceed without the least delay to the Execution of your Commission, and send to me (for his Majesties information) a Weekly Account of your Proceedings.
• III. That you Adjourn from one Week to another; and at farthest, not above a Fortnight.
• IV. That you proceed with all Just Severity, against such of the Justices of the Peace, as have Bayled (contrary to Law) Malefactors: And against all such as favour (in any manner) Robbers and Thieves.
• V. That you proceed against all persons whatsoever, who have given, or will give, any Obstruction to the Execution of your Commission: And if they prove Officers of the Ar∣my, or Absent, so as you do not think fit to proceed a∣gainst them, that you forthwith send me an Account there∣of.
• ...

• VI. That you proceed with all Rigour, against all per∣sons found Guilty of Counterfeiting the Kings Coyn.
• VII. And lastly, That you Order all men to fall up∣on publick Robbers, who have no regard of their Duty to∣wards GOD, their King or Country, destitute of all sense of humanity; and consider them but as wild beasts, who live upon Prey and Rapine.

This is Gentlemen, what I have at present in Command from his Majesty to send to you; to which I will adde this Advertisement, That you cannot light upon better Measures to Allay the KINGS just Resentment of your former Neglects, (the occasion of a world of Mischief) then by a speedy and vigorous Execution of your Commission.

Let the present general cryes of the people for Justice, and the present general Oppression under which the Country groans, move you to have a Compassion of it; and to raise in you such a publick spirit, as may Save it from this inun∣dation of Miseries that break in upon it, by a Neglect of his Majesties Orders, and by a general relaxation of all Civil and Military Laws.

Consider that our Enemies leaving us to our selves as they do, conclude we shall prove greater Enemies to one another than they can be to us; and that we will destroy the Country, and enslave our selves more than they are able to do: What In∣humanities are daily committed against one another, gives but too much ground to the truth of what our Enemies conclude of us.

I had almost forgot a special Command of his Majesty; that is, That you will consider the Liberty of Conscience granted by Act of Parliament, and to punish the Infringers of that Law, who by an indiscreet and inconsiderable Zeal usurp his Maje∣sties Prerogative; not reflecting how much his Majesties and the Nations interest; and not only the Religion of the Na∣tion,

but the Catholick Religion in all the parts of Christen∣dom is involved in a Religious Execution of that Liberty of Conscience.

Dublin-Castle, Jan. 2. 1689.

I am,

Gentlemen,

Your most humble Servant, Marquis D Albaville.

To the Commissioners of Oyer and Ter∣miner for the County of Dublin, or to any or either of them, to be Com∣municated to the rest. To the Lord Chief Justice Nugent.

No. 26. A Copy of a Petition of the Minister of Wexford, for his Church, and the Order thereupon.

To the KING's most Excellent Majesty. The humble Petition of Alex^r. Allen of Wexford, Clerk.

Most humbly Sheweth,

THAT your Petitioner being Minister of the Parish Church of St. Iberius, in the Town of Wexford; hath therein for several Years past, daily celebrated Divine Service; and exercised all other Offices of his Function with Piety to GOD, and constant Loyalty to your Majesty: Yet Your Petitioner on the 25th. of October last, was Dispossessed of his said Church, (contrary to the late Act of Liberty of Conscience) by Edward Wiseman Esq Mayor of Wexford; who a few dayes after, did not only, by the Rabble, introduced by him, brake down and demolish, all the Pewes and Altar of the said Church, but did seize, and unjustly deny your Petitioners

Vestmonts, Church - Book, and other Ornaments thereof, to the great prejudice of your Petitioner and his Parishoners; al∣though your Majesties Roman Catholick Subjects have several Chappels fit for the free Exercise of their Religion, both with∣in and without the Walls of the said Town, and whereunto several Protestant Inhabitants have given liberal Contribution. Your Petitioner further sheweth, That he the said Edward Wiseman, as Magistrate of the Town of Wexford, is obliged (as usually it hath been by Act of Vestry) to encourage and provide for the relief of distressed Orphans, and other poor of the said Town of Wexford; yet uncharitably refuseth to inter∣pose his Authority in the behalf of such poor, whereby they must inevitably perish, if not speedily Relieved.

May it therefore please Your Majesty, to Restore your Peti∣tioner to his Parish Church, which was never Forfeited by Absence, or otherwise: And that the said Edward Wiseman may be obliged to Repair it, and leave it in the same condition he found it▪ and that such care may be taken for Relief of distressed Orphans, and other Poor from Famine, as is usual.

And Your Petitioner shall ever pray, &c.

At the Court in Dublin-Castle, Jan. 28th. 1690.

Present the KING's most Excellent Majesty in Council.* 1.9

WHEREAS His Majesty is Informed upon Oath, That Edw. Wiseman late Mayor of the Town of Wexford, did Illegally seize upon the Parish Church of St. Ibe∣rius in the said Town of Wexford, broke down the Pews and Altar of the said Church, and detained the Vestmonts, Church-Books,

and other Ornaments thereunto belonging: His Majesty was Graciously pleased, to Order Mr. Nicholas Stafford, present Mayor of the said Town of Wexford, forthwith to cause the said Church and Goods to be Restored to Alex^r. Allen, Minister of the said Parish, in the same condition they were in when Seiz'd upon by the said Edward Wiseman.

Hugh Reily.

No. 27. Mr. Prowd Minister of Trim, his Account of the Remarkable Accident that hapned upon Plundring the Church of Trim.

SIR,

THIS will give you an Account of an eminent Instance of Gods Vengeance shewn on one John Keating, a Church-Rapparee, who in the very act of Plundring and Break∣ing of our Church, was struck with a sudden Madness, in which he continued for the space of Three Weeks; and that day three weeks he was struck Mad, dyed in a sad and mi∣serable Condition. The manner of it was thus: This Keating was a Souldier in the Lord of Kinmares Regiment; he with other his Associates, having often before plundred, broken and despoyled the Seats of our Church, without interruption or disturbance, resolved on Christmas-day at night, to brake and plunder our Altar, (on which we had that day celebrated the Holy Communion): and to that end, he with two more, a∣bout midnight, entered the Church. This Keating immediately attempted to brake one of the folding doors leading to the Communion Table, and endeavouring with all his force to wrest the door from the hinges, immediately (as he thought) saw several glorious and amazing Sights; But one ugly Black Thing (as he call'd it) gave him a great Souse upon the Poll, which drive him immediately into so great disorder, that he tore all the Cloaths off his Back, and ran Naked about the

Streets, and used all mad Bedlam pranks whatever. He was put into the Dungeon, where he remained for the space of 14. dayes without either Meat, Drink, Cloaths, or any thing neces∣sary for the support of nature; would not take as much as a drop of cold water; continually Rav'd of the Spoyls of the Church, and saying, That he took the most pains in breaking and taking off the Hinges, and yet got the least share for his pains. From the Dungeon he was removed to one Thomas Kelly's house in the Town, where he behaved himself as in the prison, neither eating bit, nor drinking drop, or admitting a ragg to cover his Nakedness; and about eight dayes after, he removed from the Dungeon, dyed in a sad and deplorable manner. I was so curious as to enquire of those that knew him very well, whether ever he was Mad before, or lyable to any such disorders; they all assured me, that they never knew any thing of that nature by him in the whole course of his life; so that I think we may very well look upon it as the immediate Hand of GOD.

SIR, I dare assure you, that this is a great Truth, and so evident and manifest, that it hath challeng'd and extorted an Acknowledgment from all parties whatever: Neither the Romish Clergy, nor any of the Officers of the Regiment (who are all Papists) do in the least disown it: And it had this in∣fluence and effect upon all Souldiers and Papists, that from that time forth, never any of them were known to enter, plunder, or disturb our Church.

We have an account, that another of Keatings companions at the very same time was struk Mad in the very act of break∣ing the Communion Table; and that within very few hours after, he dyed; but they politickly conceal'd it, and buryed him privately soon after, for fear it should be known; but the certainty of this I dare not Affirm, but am sure some of their most sober and serious Clergy did freely own it.

Given under my Hand, this 30th. day of June, in the Year of our LORD, 1689.

Cosin Spike,

YOurs I'receiv'd January the 1^st. it being the greatest satis∣faction I could expect to hear of your good Health and Welfare, and the rest of your good Family; getting the con∣venience of the honest Bearer, makes me acknowledge your often kindnesses to me. Yesterday we received Letters from Londonderry, they all agree with our Proposals, as in carrying on our Design in Dublin: The day appointed is the 4th. of Fe∣bruary at Supper-time in the Castle; and for some of our men intended for that purpose, to go in a little before, as many as can well, not being suspected; others to stay in the Street and Houses thereabout till the Word is given [GOD be with Us]. Then all to Force in, Killing the Guards, after giving the Tinker

and the rest of his Function their last Supper. Mr. Drury, he is intended to Fire the Suburbs with others of his assistance as might be thought fit, it being a means to force the Souldiers out of the City. We question not but our People is in num∣ber enough to do the Work, as well in the City as Castle: One night does all. We have here in these parts, 14000 Horse and Foot in readiness to be with you in Dublin in five or six dayes at farthest. I hope God will inspire into our peoples hearts to persevere with Undaunted Hearts, to pull down that Yoke of Popery which we are likely to lie under, unless by God prevented. We are in the Truth, and I hope God is with Us; although our Expectations being Failed hereto, we might think it rather Punishment for our Sins, than in any wise hin∣drance of our Victory. Last Week we had an Account from Derry, that there Landed two Ships laden with Ammunition and Provision, and to the number of Fifty-Six Volunteers, the most of them now being here with Us: They giving us an Ac∣count of our English Resolution, That they will every man Die, rather than be yeilding to Popery; likewise, that great Preparations are made for our English to come over this Spring▪ to the value of Two and Twenty Thousand Souldiers and Inha∣bitants to settle the Country. Cosin, I desire you'l direct the Bearer to Mr. Pains, with a Letter he has for him: And like∣wise I desire you to go to my Cosin, and give my kind Love to him, & the rest of his good Family. I suppose the Pacquet of Letters, as touching this Matter, wholly is directed to Mr. Smith, which meeting with him, will give you the full at large. My kind Love to my Cosin George, and your Wife. This being all at present. Your loving Cosin to command during Life.

These, For Mr. Will. Spike, Living at Colledg-Green in the old Parliament-house, Dublin.

But some Protestants believing the said Book to be a Popish contrivance; and that such Doctrines as were therein, were never Preached by the Divines there named: Upon which, a Gentleman of Quality (to satisfie these Doubts) ap∣plyed himself to two Reverend Divines of this City, viz. Dr. King and Dr. Foy, who both certified under their hands, that the Doctrines contained in the said Book, were honest, and true Christian Divinity, and obliging to all Christians to put im∣mediately in practice, upon the peril of their Salvation. Which Certificate satisfied several Protestants here, and confirmed them in an unchangeable Loyalty.

March 8th. 1689.

Reverend Sir,

I Intended to have waited on you this Afternoon, but found my self so Indisposed, that I durst not venture abroad. I have been made sensible, That the Publisher of the Weekly Abhorrence, has made use of your Name, and Mine: And Affirms, That WE have Certified under our Hands, That the Doctrines contained in a Book published by one John Yalden Esq containing a Collection of the Substance of Fifteen Sermons, were honest and true Christian Divinity, and Ob∣liging to all Christians to put immediately in Practice, upon the Peril of their Salvation: And he intimates, that this Certificate

has been shewn to several Protestants here. Sir, For my own part, I do profess, that I never Read the aforesaid Book; nor did any Gentleman of Quality (as he affirms) ever apply himself to me to satisfie him in any doubts concerning it, that I remember. I am sure never any body demanded a Certi∣ficate from me concerning it: Nor did I ever Sign any such Certificate as he pretends, or any thing like it: And therefore that whole Advertisement (as far as it concerns me) is abso∣lutely False and Groundless. If any one had Ask'd me con∣cerning that Collection, I could have given him no other An∣swer, than that I had neither read it, nor the Sermons out of which 'tis said to be taken: Perhaps the Collection may be just, and no harm in Certifying it to be so; but I am sure, there is a great deal of harm in forging a Certificate under a mans Hand, what ever the matter be that is Certified: And if there be no such Certificate forged or real, it is no less cri∣minal, to publish to the world (as in this Abhorrence) that there is one. I cannot imagine to what purpose the Publisher should have inserted such an easily detected Falshood, which he could not expect should escape being discovered; except he had a mind to destroy both his own Credit, and likewise that of the Collection. Pray (Sir) if you know any thing of this matter, Communicate to

To the Reverend

Dr. Nath. Foy.

These.

Your most humble Servant, Will. King

Reverend Sir,

WHat you were pleased to Acquaint me with, several Gentlemen who were Concern'd for me, gave me Notice of some few Hours before: Upon which I immediately repaired to the Coffee - House - (the likeliest place, as I judged, to find a Lye, if it were stirring) where I saw my self in Print; of which, though I could not

imagine what should be the ground; yet since it was resolv'd it should be so, I was glad to be found with so good Com∣pany as your self. Had the Gentleman, amongst other things in his Abhorrence, but Abhorr'd Untruth, I'm sure my Name had never appear'd in his Advertisement: For I declare, I never read the Book mentioned therein, and I judge I shall not be very Fond of reading any thing that comes from under his Hand; having given such a Tast to the world, of his Abilities in Writing and Collecting other mens Senses, that it is to be doubted, whether he has yet well Collected his own: whose Collection as I never read, so have I never received any account of the contents of it; nor did any person ever require a Cer∣tificate from me, or my Judgement of that Collection, or the Sermons said to be in it; nor did I ever give any Certificate, or my Judgment to any person unrequired. This is all I know of the matter, or the Gentlemans Collection. It may be a faithful one for ought I know, but certainly he has not taken the best method to Assert the Reputation of it, or his Own; since he must give leave to them who are as ignorant of his Person and Collection, as I am to suspect that he who can find a Certificate in Dublin that never was Written, may find a Sermon in London that never was Printed. This, Sir, I thought was due as a return to yours, which I kindly resent; and re∣quest you to believe that I am,

March 11. 1689.

For the Reverend Dr. Will. King. These.

SIR,

Your faithful Friend, and humble Servant, Nath. Foy.
