2 The cause of their sudden rising.
The cause or their sudden rising, as it is supposed by the English inhabited in Ireland, was by their ta∣king exception at a Petition drawne by some reve∣rend Ministers in Ireland, presented to the Parlia∣ment in England, to this effect.
That in every parish where there is a protestant Minister, there is likewise a popish priest, which is very true, and more then that, there is also in every parish a Fryer, a Monk, and an Abbot: besides, with many more in severall Abbies, doe resigne three or fourescore in a Fryers house.
Also, in every Diocesse whereas the King hath a Bishop, so hath the pope also another: which hath caused this lamentable effect there, that whatsoever the King doth command, the popish Clergy doe for∣bid, the consideration whereof made a worthy Iudge there, not long since to say (Iudge Cresey by name) this is quoth he a miserable case, desiring the Gentlemen of the Gran-jury to present that grievance.
It is also reported in Ireland, that there is fifty two thousand pounds a yeare, that goeth out of Ireland to the Pope: that is 1000-l. a weeke, a great summe of money, and of dangerous consequence.
