By the Lords Iuſtices and Councell.

W. Parſons. Jo. Borlaſe.

IT is well knowne to all men, but more particularly to his Majeſties Subjects of this Kingdome, who have all gather­ed plentifull and comfortable fruits of his Majeſties bleſſed government, how abundantly carefull his Majeſty hath been in the whole courſe of his Go­vernment, of the peace and ſafety of this his Kingdome, and how graciouſly he hath laboured to derive to all his Subjects therein, all thoſe benefits and comforts, which from a moſt gracious King, could be conferred on his Subjects, to make them a happy people, whereof he hath given many great teſtimonies. And as at all times he endeavoured to give them due contentment and ſatiſ­faction, ſo even then whileſt the Rebels now in Armes were conſpiring miſchiefe againſt Him, and his Crowne and King­dome, he was then exerciſing Acts of Grace and Benignity to­wards them, granting to his Subjects here the fulneſſe of their own deſires in all things, ſo far as with Honour or Juſtice he poſſibly could, and particularly when the Committees of both Houſes of Parliament here this laſt Summer attended his Ma­jeſty in England, at which time (amongſt many other things graciouſly aſſented to by Him) he was content even with appa­rent loſſe and diſadvantage to himſelfe to depart with ſundry his Rights of very great value, which lawfully and juſtly hee might have retained, And as his continued goodneſſe to this people, and his Princely care of their proſperity and preſerva­tion ſhall (to the unſpeakable joy and comfort of all his good Subjects) render him glorious to all Poſterity, ſo the wicked ingratitude and treacherous diſloyalty of thoſe Rebels ſhall render them for ever infamous to all ages, and utterly inexcu­ſable2 even in the judgement of thoſe, who for any reſpect either formerly wiſhed well to their perſons, or now pitty them in their tranſgreſſions. And although the ſaid perſons now in Re­bellion were in no degree provoked by any juſt cauſe of pub­like griefe received from his Majeſty, or his Miniſters, to un­dertake ſuch deſperate wickedneſſe, neither can juſtly aſſigne any ſeverity or rigour in the execution of thoſe Lawes which are in force in this Kingdome againſt Papiſts, nor indeed any cauſe at all, other then the unnaturall hatred, which thoſe per­ſons in Rebellion do beare to the Brittiſh and Proteſtants, whom they deſire and publikely profeſſe to root out from a­mongſt them, The more ſtrange in that very many of them­ſelves are deſcended of Engliſh, whence is the originall and foundation of all their eſtates, and thoſe great benefits which they have hitherto enjoyed, and whence their Predeceſſors, and others then well affected in this Kingdome, have been at all times ſince the Conqueſt cherriſhed, relieved, countenanced, and ſupported, againſt the ancient enemies of the Kings people of England, many of the Iriſh alſo having received their eſtates and livelihood from the unexampled bounty and goodneſſe of the Kings of England. Yet ſuch is their inbred ingratitude and diſloyalty, as they conſpired to maſſacre Us the Lords Juſtices and Councell, and all the Brittiſh and Proteſtants univerſally throughout this Kingdome, and to ſeize into their hands, not only his Majeſties Caſtle of Dublin, the principall Fort in this Kingdome, but alſo all other the fortifications thereof, though (by the infinite goodneſſe and mercy of God) thoſe wicked and devilliſh Conſpiracies were brought to light, and ſome of the principall Conſpirators impriſoned in his Majeſties Caſtle of Dublin, by Us by his Majeſties authority, ſo as thoſe wicked and damnable plots are diſappointed in the chief parts thereof, his Majeſties ſaid Caſtle of Dublin, and City of Dublin being preſerved, and put into ſuch a condition of ſtrength, as if any of them, or their adherents ſhall preſume to make any attempt thereupon, they ſhall (God willing) receive that correction, ſhame, confuſion and deſtruction, which is due to their treache­rous and deteſtable diſloyalty. And in purſuit of their bloody intentions, they aſſembled themſelves in Armes in hoſtile man­ner,3 with banners diſplayed, ſurpriſed divers of his. Majeſties Forts and Garriſons, poſſeſſed themſelves thereof, robbed and ſpoiled many thouſands of his Majeſties good Subiects, Brittiſh and Proteſtants, of all their goods, diſpoſſeſſed them of their houſes and lands, murdered many of them upon the place, ſtripped naked many others of them, and ſo expoſed them to nakedneſſe, cold and famine, as they thereof dyed, impriſoned many others, ſome of them perſons of eminent quality, laid ſiege to divers of his Maieſties Forts and Towns yet in his Ma­ieſties hands, and committed many other barbarous cruelties and execrable inhumanities, upon the perſons and eſtates of the Brittiſh and Proteſtants, men, women, and children, in all parts of the Kingdome, without regard of quality, age, or ſex. And to cover their wickedneſſe in thoſe cruell Acts, ſo to deceive the world, and to make way (if they could) to the effecting of their miſchievous ends, they adde yet to their wickedneſſe a further degree of impiety, pretending outwardly, that what they doe, is for the maintenance and advancement of the Kings pre­rogative, whereas it appeares manifeſtly, that their aimes and purpoſes inwardly are (if it were poſſible for them ſo to doe) to wreſt from him his Royall Crown and Scepter, and his iuſt So­veraignty over this Kingdome and Nation, and to deprive him and his lawfull Miniſters of all authority and power here, & to place it on ſuch perſons as they think fit, which can no wayſtand with his Maieſties iuſt Prerogative, nor can any equall minded man be ſeduced to beleeve that they can wiſh well to his Royall perſon, or any thing that is his, who in their actions have expreſ­ſed ſuch unheard of hatred, malice, and ſcorn of the Brittiſh Na­tion, as they have done. And ſuch is their madneſſe as they conſider not, that his ſacred Maieſty diſdaines to have his name or power ſo boldly traduced by ſuch wicked malefactors, Re­bells having never in any age beene eſteemed fit ſupporters of the Kings Prerogative, much leſſe theſe, who (under counte­nance thereof) labour to deface and ſhake off his Government, and extirp his moſt loyall and faithfull Subjects of his other Kingdomes and here, whoſe preſervation (above and earthly things) is, and alwayes hath beene his Majeſties principall ſtudy and endeavour, which even theſe Traytors themſelves4 have abundantly found with comfort, if they could have beene ſenſible of it; And whereas divers Lords and Gentlemen of the Engliſh Pale preferred Petition unto Us, in the behalfe of them­ſelves, and the reſt of the Pale, and other the old Engliſh of this Kingdome, ſhewing that whereas a late Conſpiracie of Trea­ſon was diſcovered, of ill-affected perſons of the old Iriſh, and that thereupon Proclamation was publiſhed by Us, wherein (among other things) it was declared, that the ſaid Conſpira­cie was perpetrated by Iriſh Papiſts, without diſtinction of any, and they doubting that by thoſe generall words of Iriſh Pa­piſts, they might ſeeme to be involved, though they declared themſelves confident, that We did not intend to include them therein, in regard they alleadged they were none of the old Iriſh, nor of their Faction or Confederacie, but (as they then pretended) altogether averſe and oppoſite to all their deſignes, and all others of like condition, We therefore to give the full ſatisfaction (having indeede at that time great confidence in their loyalty) did by Proclamation dated the 29. of October 1641. declare and publiſh, that by the words Iriſh Papiſts, We intended only ſuch of the old meere Iriſh in the Province of Ulſter, as were then Actors in that Treaſon, and others, who adhered to them, and that We did not any way intend or meane thereby any of the old Engliſh of the Pale, nor of any other parts of this Kingdome, then eſteemed good Subjects, We be­ing then (as We conceived) well aſſured of their fidelities to the Crowne, and having experience of the good affections and ſervices of their Anceſtors, in former times of danger and Re­bellion. And indeede ſo beleeving were VVe in their faith­fulneſſe & loyalty to the Crown, as We then alſo repreſented it into England for their advantage, and thereupon in the Order of the Lords and Commons in the Parliament in England con­cerning Ireland, his Majeſties loyall Subjects of Engliſh blood, though of the Romiſh Religion, being ancient Inhabitants with­in ſeverall Counties and parts of this Realme are mentioned, as thoſe who have alwayes in former rebellions given teſtimony of their fidelity to the Crowne of England. And in further te­ſtimony of the good affiance VVee had in their loyaltie, VVee iſſued Armes to the ſeverall Counties of the Engliſh Pale, the5 better to enable them to diſcharge their duties, in defending thoſe parts, and his Majeſties good Subjects therein, againſt the Rebels, upon deepe profeſſions of loyaltie made by them, and their ſeeming deteſtation of the loathſomneſſe of the crimes, and bloody guilts of the Rebells, which they for their parts profeſſed (with many oathes and proteſtations) to ab­horre, and promiſed to oppoſe and reſiſt them, with all their power. And wee iſſued Armes alſo to many Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Pale, and elſewhere, of the Romiſh Religion, for the defence of their houſes, againſt the Rebells. Yet much contrary to the expectation of all equall minded men, and in deceit of the truſt repoſed in them by this State, and directly contrary, as to their loyaltie and dutie to his Majeſtie, ſo to the great profeſſions which they had ſo lately before made at this Councell Board, many of thoſe as well whole Counties, as par­ticular perſons entruſted with thoſe Armes, revolted to the Re­bels, caryed his Majeſties Arms with them, and ſo the Arms which were truſted into their hands, for the protection of his Ma­ſties good Subjects, they converted to the annoyance and de­ſtruction (as much as in them lay) of thoſe good Subjects they were truſted to protect, and of this State and Government, and have not onely not reſiſted the Rebells, but have alſo joy­ned with them, and they and the Rebels aſſembled in Armes in hoſtile manner, with banners diſplayed, againſt his Majeſtie, in beſieging ſome of his Townes, taking into their poſſeſſion by force or fraud many of his Majeſties Burroughs, walled and unwalled, and in committing murders, ſpoyles, robberies, and many deteſtable cruelties on his Majeſties good Subjects. And although thoſe of the Pale, pretended that they were not able to aſſemble or arme any ſtrength againſt the Rebells, yet lately they found meanes to aſſemble, and arme great multitudes to aſſiſt the Rebells againſt his Majeſties forces, and againſt his Majeſties Government, and this State, And as well the perſons who were the firſt Actors in this Rebellion, as alſo many others in the Engliſh Pale, and ſeverall other parts of the Kingdome, forgetting thoſe duties which (by the Lawes of God and man) are due from them to his Sacred Majeſtie, are ſo ungratefull to his Majeſtie for the great and abundant benefits and favours6 from Him, and his Royall Father, and Predeceſſors derived to them, ſo inſenſible of the happineſſe which they (with all others in this Kingdome) enjoyed by his bleſſed Government, and ſo improvident to themſelves and their poſteritie, as they have preſumed moſt unnaturally to conſpire, raiſe, and act thoſe ab­hominable Treaſons and Rebellion againſt his Majeſtie, as is herein formerly mentioned, And for as much as thoſe Rebells, and particularly Sir Con Magenis of Newcaſtle in the Countie of Downe Knight, Patrick mac Cartan of Loghnelan in the ſaid Countie, Art oge mac Glaſny Magenis of Ilanderry in the ſaid County, Ever mac Phelim Magenis of Caſtlewelan in the ſaid County, Rory mac Brian oge Magenis late of Edenteecullagh in the ſaid County, Phillip mac Hugh mac Shane O Rely of Bal­linecarrig in the Countie of Cavan, Phillip mac Mulmorry O Rely of Liſmore in the ſayd Countie, Mulmorry mac Edmond O Rely of Cavet in the ſaid Countie, Hugh Boy mac Shane O Rely of Kilmore in the ſaid Countie, Owen mac Shane mac Phil­lip O Rely of the ſame, Rory Magwyre of Haſſets-towne in the County of Farmanagh, brother to the Lord Magwyre, Do­nogh bane Magwyre of Carrow in the ſaid Countie, Uncle to the ſaid Lord Magwyre, Brian mac Cowcannaght Magwyre, of Tempoe, in the ſaid County, Sir Phelim O Neale of Kinard in the County of Tyrone Knight, Tirlagh Roe O Neale, brother to the ſaid Sir Phelim, Tirlagh Groome O Quin of Donoghmore in the ſaid Countie, Cormock mac Owin oge O Hagan of Mul­linecor in the ſaid County, Patrick Modder O Donelly of Croſ­kanena in the ſaid County, Art mac Tirlagh mac Henry O Neale of Devernagh in the County of Armagh, Tirlagh mac Henry mac Tirlagh O Neale of the Fues in the ſayd County, Hugh oge O Neale of Aghadamph in the ſaid County, Donogh oge O Mur­chie of Caſhell in the ſaid County, Collo mac Brian mac Ma­howne of Balloghie in the County of Monaghan, Neale mac Kena of the Trough in the ſaid County, Coolo mac Ever mac Mahowne of_____in the ſaid Countie, Art Roe mac Patrick mac Art Moyle mac Mahowne of Fanahah in the ſaid County, Captaine Hugh mac Phelim Birne late of Balline­cor in the County of VVicklo, Shane mac Brien mac Phelim Birne late of Carrigocroe in the ſaid County, Luke alias7 Feagh O Toole of Caſtlekeven in the ſaid County, Luke alias Feagh mac Redmond Birne of Kilcloghram in the ſaid County, Redmond mac Feagh Birne late of Kilvane in the ſaid County, Phelim mac Redmond Birne late of the ſame in the ſaid County, Dermot mac Dowlin Cavenagh of Ballidony in the Countie of VVexford, Lewis alias Liſagh mac Owny Dempſie of Rahynne in the Kings Countie, Art O Molloy of Rathlyan in the ſaid County, Hubert Fox of Kilcourſie in the ſayd Countie, Owen O Molloy of Clonekeene in the ſaid Countie, Florence mac Shane Fitz-Patrick of Caſtle-towne in the Queenes Countie, Barnabie Dempſie of Knockardegur in the ſaid County, Daniel Doine of Tenehinche in the ſaid county, Barnabie Fitz-Patrick of Raghdowny in the ſaid County, Iames mac Fergus mac Do­nell of Taghnekillie in the ſaid county, Francis mac Faghny O Farrall of the Mote in the County of Longford, William Farrall of Ballintobber in the ſaid County, James mac Conell Farrall of Tenelecke in the ſayd County, Oliver Boy Fitz-Gerrald of_____in the ſaid County, Pierſe Fitz-Gerrald of Ballyſonan in the County of Kildare, Maurice Euſtace of Ca­ſtle-Martin in the ſaid County, Nicholas Sutton of Tipper in the ſaid Connty, Roger alias Rory O More of Ballynah in the ſaid County, William Fitz-Gerrald of Blackhall in the ſaid County, Robert Preſton, brother to the Lo.

A true Copie of a Letter from Dublin.

THe Earle of Ormond Lievetenant Generall of the Army in Ireland, and Sir Charles Coote, and Sir Simon Harecourt went out of Dublin lately to meete the Rebells, hearing they had lodged themſelves at the Naas, 12. miles from Dublin, it is moſt true the Rebells were there entertained, but when they heard of our Engliſh Forces comming, though they were ten to one, yet they durſt not ſtand to it, but ranne away and left the towne to be pillaged by the Souldiers, they found ſuch boo­ty there, as the Souldiers came loaden home; a iuſt puniſh­ment to thoſe that had pillaged the poore Engliſh that lived there when this rebellion broke forth; that towne is deſtroyed, and our Engliſh horſe went ſix miles further to a place called Killcullen-bridge, where the Rebells were too, but there they ſhewed likewiſe their heeles in running away; that place they burnt, and returned ſafe without loſſe of a man, the Engliſh Souldiers likewiſe in their returne to Dublin burnt Caſtlemartin and other ſmall villages thereabouts; and the Commanders hanged about foureſcore rogues they catch't, and but one of the Engliſh men hurt; After their returne to Dublin the Eng­liſh againe iſſued our of Dublin ſouthward upon the Rebells of Wickloe and Wexford, about five miles from Dublin and there they ran away too, ſo that had they but at Dublin a conſiderable ſupply of men, money, and munition, by Gods aſſiſtance they ſoone would rout the Rebells thereabouts. Three of the Kings Pinnaces about three weekes ſince went to releeve Tredagh, but it pleaſed God by the violence of weather ſo to devide them, that one of them was ſhipwract upon the Coaſt of Wales, and the reliefe by the others prevented for that preſent, yet how ever ſuch was the care of the Lords, Juſtices and Counſell there, that on the 14. of February laſt, they ſent nine ſmall veſſels againe with victualls and munition, and 400. men, and by that meanes hath againe releeved Tredagh. And for full incourage­ment to thoſe well diſpoſed perſons that ſhall venture their monies for the reducing that kingdome to its former condition according to the late propoſitions made in Parliament; all14 or moſt of the Nobility and Gentry, by Juries of their owne Counties are convicted of high Treaſon at the Kings Bench­bar in Dublin, ſo that their eſtates are in a very faire way to be forfeited, for they are convicted upon Record already, and the perſons ſo convicted are owners of as fine Lands as any are in England, and quantity ſufficient to ſatisfie five hundred thouſand pounds, if it be laid out: Our deare and good bre­thren in England I hope by long delay will not let us ſuffer, di­vers Gentlemen of good repute are in the Country in their ſe­verall houſes, holding out ſtill, which by delay will be utterly loſt, which will be a great diſhonour to the Engliſh Nation, that in foure moneth ſhould ſend over but a handfull of men, they are full of charity, and I hope they will not let us ſuffer death, for no other can any Engliſh expect that hath oppoſed, and fall into their hands; money is much wanting in Dublin, in ſo much that ſome of our Engliſh die for want of clothing; In Dublin we have ſtill Vipers left, Alderman James, one of the Aldermen of Dublin is committed to the Caſtle of Dublin, for holding intelligence with the Rebels and it is thought he will be hanged, his juſt deſert: Sir Nicholas White is likewiſe com­mitted to the Caſtle, as ſuſpected for a dangerous man, being a very great Papiſt, and his Sons being in Rebellion; Thus is the true ſtate of Ireland about Dublin at this time.

Editorial statement

About the encoding

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial principles

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
