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).

TO
THE

Courteous
Reader
,
BE
pleased
to
accept
of
a
small
Epistle
to
a
small
Treatise
to
inform
you
,
that
though
it
be
short

miserable

deplorable
Condition
and
Suffering
of
the
Protestants
of

,
since
the
Death
of
King
Charles

;
and
that
there
is
nothing
Material
omitted
which
the
Author
could
call
to
memory
,
having
nothing
else
to
collect
it
from
,
being
forced
to
flee
for
England
to
secure
his
Life
,
and
leave
his
Books
,
and
very
Notes
,
and
whatever
else
he
had
,
to
the
Mercy
of
the
Devourers
.
And
be
no
less
assured
thou

but
what
every
one
that

will
confirm
,
as
far
as
it
may
reach
their
several
Abodes
.
And
so
wishing
thee
more
Comfort
in

,
than

bid
thee

An

historical
Relation
of
all
the
most
Material
Transactions
,
Revolutions
,
and
Miserable
Sufferings
of
the
Protestants
in

IRELAND
hath
been
,
and
still
is
even
by
some
Writers
reputed
a
Barbarous
and
most
Heathenish
Place
:
And
indeed
I
believe
it
was
so
once
,
and
England
also
;
but
all
such
as
have
been
there
,
and
rightly
understood
the
Country
of
late
,
must
(
if
impartial
and
unprejudiced
)
own
it
to
be
far
otherwise
,
and
indeed
a
Place
of
most
excellent
Government
and
Piety
,
and
much
like
that
of
England
.
Ireland
is
an
Island
inviron'd
with
the
Sea
,
and
the
most
Western
of
Europe
,
lying
between
the
Latitude
of
51
and
56
Degrees
North
;
and
Westward
from
Holy-Head
in
Wales
about
14
Leagues
;
and
from
the
South-West
part
of
Scotland
8
or
9
Leagues
;
and
is
much
more
temperate
than
England
,
cooler
in
Summer
,
and
warmer
in
Winter
;
so
that
when
in
the
late
great
Frost
a
Ox
was
roasted
,
and
Coaches
frequently
went
upon
the
Thames
,
an
Horse-man
durst
not
venture
over
the
Liffey
,
a
much
less
River
,
at
Dublin
,
and
thereby
much
more
pleasant
(
and
indeed
,
in
the
general
,
abundantly
more
fertile
)
and
plentiful
than
England
,
and
free
from
all
venemous
Vermin
,
Black
Crows
,
Magpies
,
and
Spiders
,
are
not
venomous
there
.
In
many
places
the
Soil
is
so
excellent
,
that
it
bears
the
most
devouring
Grain
,
many
Years
successively
,
without
manuring
;
and
in
others
it
will
bear
three
or
four
Crops
;
and
when
it
hath
lain
waste
but
one
Year
,
without
further
trouble
than
Plowing
and
Sowing
Barly
,
will
again
produce
as
many
Crops
more
,
and
so
Time
after
Time
with
a
continuendo
;
and
in
all
places
in
general
produceth
all
sorts
of
Grain
England
doth
,
as
good
,
and
in
as
great
plenty
,
with
abundance
less
trouble
and
pains
.
There
are
indeed
many
large
Mountains
and
Bogs
,
but
now
,
by
the
Industry
of
the
English
,
made
very
good
and
fertile
Land
,
either
for
Tillage
or
Feeding
;
every
where
watered
with
pleasant
Springs
,
Rivers
,
and
Loughs
or
Lakes
of
Water
;
indued
with
great
plenty
of
Fish
,
wild
and
tame
Fowl
,
Horses
,
Cows
,
Oxen
and
Sheep
,
as
large
and
good
as
any
in
England
,
and
much
more
numerous
,
till
lately
destroyed
by
the
incouragement
given
the
new
raised
Forces
,
and
other
Irish
Papists
,
by
the
now
Duke
of
Tyrconnel
.
In
some
parts
,
especially
of
the
West
and
North
,
a
Salmon
above
two
foot
long
,
may
be
bought
for
a
Penny
,
or
two
Pence
.
Forty
five
Eggs
for
one
Penny.
A
fat
Goose
for
three
pence
.
A
fat
Turky
for
six
pence
.
A
fat
Hen
for
three
half-pence
.
A
fat
Lamb
,
or
Kid
,
for
a
Groat
.
But
in
Dublin
,
which
is
the
dearest
part
,
they
fold
,
in
time
of
peace
,
twelve
or
fourteen
Eggs
for
a
penny
.
A
large
fair
fresh
Cod
,
two
foot
long
,
for
three
pence
.
Plaice
a
foot
long
,
and
seven
or
eight
inches
broad
,
two
for
a
penny
.
Large
Trouts
as
long
,
two
or
three
for
a
penny
.
Oysters
five
or
six
inches
broad
,
a
penny
a
score
.
A
fat
Lamb
for
twelve
or
fourteen
pence
.
A
large
fat
Calf
,
a
month
or
six
weeks
old
,
for
five
or
six
Shillings
.
A
large
quarter
of
Beef
for
three
or
four
Shillings
,
as
good
as
the
Markets
of
London
afford
,
and
other
things
proportionably
;
and
yet
all
sorts
of
Tradesmen
had
greater
Wages
,
and
generally
better
Rates
for
their
Goods
than
in
England
.
And
contrary
to
the
general
Supposition
among
the
English
,
Scots
,
and
other
industrious
Persons
,
Mony
was
in
Ireland
as
plentiful
,
and
with
much
more
ease
obtain'd
than
in
England
;
so
that
an
ordinary
Tradesman
,
or
Farmer
,
keeps
a
better
House
,
and
lives
much
more
plentiful
there
than
those
of
four
or
five
Hundred
a
Year
can
do
in
England
.
None
need
labour
long
there
,
that
will
but
be
Industrious
,
and
any
thing
a
reasonable
Husband
,
but
,
unless
very
Unfortunate
indeed
,
may
soon
acquire
a
Sufficiency
to
live
handsomly
,
and
Gentleman-like
.
Scarce
any
that
went
only
private
Souldiers
thither
in
the
last
Rebellion
(
unless
Sots
in
earnest
)
but
were
,
before
the
beginning
of
this
Rebellion
,
Men
of
good
Fortune
and
Estates
.
The
meer
Irish
are
not
really
so
Wild
and
Barbarous
as
generally
reputed
,
nor
indeed
Tame
and
Civiliz'd
in
general
as
the
English
,
but
are
as
lusty
,
full
,
well-set
,
comely
,
handsome
,
fair
,
and
clear-skin'd
as
the
English
:
Mighty
hospitable
and
kind-hearted
to
Strangers
;
so
that
if
any
comes
where
they
are
eating
,
they
will
take
it
very
unkindly
if
he
do
not
eat
with
them
;
and
Travellers
shall
have
the
best
Entertainment
they
can
afford
them
gratis
,
and
better
than
they
will
afford
themselves
:
For
though
the
Country
be
thus
extream
plentiful
,
yet
the
Commonalty
among
the
Irish
fare
very
hard
,
and
live
mostly
upon
Potatoes
,
Parsnips
,
Cabbidg
,
Beans
,
Pease
,
Barley
,
and
Oat-Bread
,
sour
thick
Milk
,
or
Butter-milk
;
and
unless
upon
some
certain
Festival
Days
,
as
Christmass
,
Shrovetide
,
Easter
,
Whitsuntide
,
or
Michaelmass
,
rarely
eat
a
bit
of
Flesh
,
Butter
,
Eggs
,
or
Cheese
,
unless
they
light
upCarrion
dead
or
drown'd
.
They
are
very
nasty
and
sluttish
,
prefer
strong
Butter
,
tainted
Flesh
,
and
sowr
Milk
,
before
sweet
:
Scarce
ever
wear
Shifts
or
Shirts
,
or
lodg
otherwise
than
upon
Straw
or
Rushes
on
the
Ground
,
with
their
Cows
,
Calves
,
Swine
,
or
Sheep
,
made
fast
at
the
Beds
feet
;
or
at
the
best
,
only
a
little
Partition
of
Wattles
between
them
;
use
no
Sheets
,
tumble
all
together
,
only
the
Husband
between
other
Men
and
their
Wives
,
and
the
Wife
between
other
Women
and
their
Husband
.
The
Common
Women
are
generally
Whorish
before
Marriage
,
and
count
it
no
Disgrace
to
have
a
Bastard
or
two
,
but
after
Marriage
are
most
constant
to
their
Husbands
;
they
say
,
He
that
did
before
,
must
not
do
after
:
They
are
very
lazy
,
and
inclin'd
to
Lice
.
Some
of
their
Gentry
are
indeed
very
accomplished
and
well-bred
.
They
are
in
general
the
most
zealous
Roman
Catholicks
in
the
World
;
and
were
always
very
obedient
and
respectful
to
the
English
,
and
under
their
Government
,
till
King
James
the
Second
came
to
the
Throne
;
but
after
that
they
began
to
grow
very
Insolent
,
infringe
the
English
Prerogative
,
and
at
length
to
insult
over
and
destroy
their
English
Masters
.
Naturally
in
their
own
Country
the
greatest
Cowards
in
the
World
,
Spaniel-like
,
the
more
they
are
beaten
,
the
better
;
it
used
to
be
common
for
one
English
Man
to
beat
nine
or
ten
of
them
;
but
most
Imperious
Masters
:
Naturally
inclin'd
to
Theft
and
Laziness
;
so
that
though
employed
by
those
of
their
own
Country
and
Religion
,
they
will
idle
away
Time
,
and
steal
what
they
can
;
so
that
if
a
Man
employs
but
one
or
two
of
them
,
he
must
have
another
to
attend
and
watch
them
.
They
are
,
from
the
highest
to
the
lowest
,
a
People
of
the
least
fore-sight
in
the
World
,
never
looking
forward
,
or
taking
care
for
to
Morrow
:
believe
it
Damnation
to
disobey
the
Priests
,
and
(
as
all
other
Papists
do
)
meritorious
to
destroy
all
Protestants
by
every
sort
of
Artifice
;
and
though
they
do
not
live
so
well
under
their
own
Nation
,
yet
they
have
a
natural
aversion
to
the
English
;
that
to
destroy
them
,
they
care
not
what
Miseries
they
expose
themselves
to
,
or
who
comes
to
govern
over
them
,
yet
have
and
dread
an
old
Prophesy
among
them
,
which
says
,
The
Irish
shall
weep
over
the
English-mens
Graves
,
as
they
always
do
over
each
others
many
Years
after
burial
.
And
though
they
have
spared
no
Ruin
they
durst
bring
upon
the
English
;
yet
now
they
dread
coming
under
the
Yoke
of
France
,
who
they
have
often
,
and
indeed
even
now
invited
to
receive
that
Kingdom
.
At
the
Death
of
King
Charles
the
Second
,
his
Grace
,
James
late
Duke
of
Ormond
,
was
Lord-Lieutenant
of
Ireland
,
when
on
Saturday
,
February
the
14th
,
1684
/
5.
the
News
was
delivered
him
there
,
of
his
Master's
Death
,
and
Orders
from
the
Privy
Council
at
Whitehal
to
proclaim
his
Brother
James
the
Second
,
King
of
England
,
Scotland
,
France
,
and
Ireland
.
Whereupon
he
forthwith
called
a
Council
,
and
provided
all
things
ready
against
the
Munday
following
,
then
being
the
16th
of

accompanied

;
Masters
,
Wardens
,
and

of
the

Corporations
,

,
and
multitudes
of

.
Set
out
from
the
Castle
of
Dublin
,
where
he
kept
his
Court
;
and
with
Tears
in
his
Eyes
,
marched

of
the
City
,
through
a
Guard
of
Souldiers
placed
on
both
sides
the
Way
;
and
the
Sword
carried
before
him
by
his
Grandson
the
now
Duke
of
Ormond
.
Performed
that
Solemnity
,
with
as
pleasant
a
Countenance
,
and
as
much
chearfulness
,
as
the
loss
of
his
old
Master
,
and
fears
of
approaching
Misery
would
permit
.
And
the
better
to
repel
the
thenlike
fearful
Apprehensions
of
the
discerning
Protestants
,
there
caused
several
Hogsheads
of
Wine
to
be
placed
at
the
Castle-gate
,
Thoulsel
,
and
Corn-market
,
for
any
that
pleased
to
drink
;
the
Bells
to
be
rung
,
and
Bonfires
to
be
made
at
Night
,
and
all
other
Testimonies
of
Joy
imaginable
to
be
forthwith
made
.
And
suddenly
after
issued
Declarations
,
and
other
Assurances
of
his
Majesty's
gracious
Intentions
and
Resolutions
for
maintaining
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
Interest
of
Ireland
:
Which
coming
from
him
,
in
whom
next
under
God
they
reposed
their
greatest
Confidence
at
all
Times
,
to
be
their
then
Protector
,
against
the
Abuses
they
after
sustained
by
the
Irish
,
(
by
interceding
for
them
upon
all
Occasions
to
the
King
)
did
in
some
measure
abate
those
gloomy
Fogs
for
the
present
,
and
give
hopes
the
King
would
in
some
measure
make
good
his
Promises
to
them
.
But
the
Papists
,
who
always
during
the
two
late
Kings
Reigns
at
least
,
had
their
Friends
at
Whitehal
,
and
from
them
,
by
their
Infallible
Guides
,
the
Priests
,
a
certain
pre-knowledg
of
future
Designs
,
and
the
best
Intelligence
,
well
knew
the
contrary
;
and
forthwith
began
to
prick
up
their
Ears
,
repair
their
Old
,
and
erect
several
new
Mass-houses
;
and
every
Rascal
that
could
but
speak
a
little
English
,
or
write
and
read
nothing
but
Nonsense
,
and
had
but
four
or
five
Sheep
,
or
three
or
four
Cows
or
Horses
,
and
never
before
the
Honour
to
wear
any
thing
but
Rags
,
or
what
was
little
better
,
forthwith
sold
what
they
had
to
buy
new
Cloaths
,
and
carry
them
for
Dublin
,
with
each
a
Sword
at
his
Brich
,
(
though
scarce
knew
how
to
draw
or
sheath
it
there
)
set
up
for
Gentlemen
,
and
soon
worm'd
the
Protestants
out
,
and
got
themselves
into
all
the
beneficial
Imployments
in
the
Kingdom
,
the
Army
,
and
whatever
was
of
any
Value
or
Trust
:
And
then
,
without
respect
to
Master
or
Mistress
,
or
such
others
as
had
before
better
fed
than
taught
them
,
and
perhaps
kept
them
from
starving
,
though
the
best
Church-Protestant
in
the
Kingdom
,
if
any
Affront
hapned
to
be
given
these
new
Gentlemen
,
the
first
and
most
friendly
Salute
was
,
God
damn
you
for
a
Figish
Son
of
a
Bish
,
&c.
and
the
second
out
with
the
Prick-Frog
,
or
Bayonet
;
and
if
Courage
gave
Resolution
to
resist
their
Violences
,
(
as
often
it
happened
,
and
if
alone
to
disarm
and
beat
them
too
)
then
the
Resister
was
sure
(
upon
the
Assaulter's
escaping
his
Hands
)
forthwith
to
have
as
many
Hands
upon
one
Head
and
Body
,
as
it
had
Arms
and
Fingers
to
resist
him
,
or
Legs
,
Feet
and
Toes
to
flee
from
them
;
and
if
happily
he
escaped
that
Bout
,
they
would
certainly
break
his
Windows
at
Night
,
and
as
a
Cat
watches
a
Mouse
,
watch
for
another
Opportunity
;
and
if
that
fail'd
,
they
never
did
go
to
a
Justice
,
but
perhaps
to
some
pretended
Protestant
creeping
Rascal
,
who
for
lucre
of
a
few
Pence
,
and
to
keep
his
Employ
,
valued
not
how
many
good
Protestant
Christians
he
rid
,
and
gall'd
even
to
Death
,
to
serve
the
devilish
End
and
Cause
for
which
he
had
the
favour
to
stay
to
be
the
Fop
last
devoured
,
who
must
be
sure
to
tie
him
up
to
all
imaginable
hard
Meat
,
and
perhaps
more
severely
than
a
Papist
would
do
,
for
being
kickt
out
of
Commission
;
and
then
it
was
well
done
,
by
forsooth
a
Protestant
,
and
not
by
the
merciful
Roman
Catholicks
.
If
the
poor
Creature
kept
out
of
reach
,
then
out
with
a
Warrant
,
break
open
his
Doors
,
search
his
House
,
rifle
and
take
away
what
is
liked
;
and
if
any
honest
Protestant
yet
remained
in
Commission
,
every
shabby
beggarly
Rascal
,
spared
not
the
impudence
to
revile
them
to
their
Faces
.
I
have
heard
a
meer
Teague
,
that
could
scarce
pronounce
a
word
of
true
English
,
or
sense
,
beard
the
Lord
Mayor
of
Dublin
,
Sir
John
Knox
,
when
brought
before
him
for
Felony
,
who
though
a
Man
of
Courage
,
did
not
dare
to
commit
the
Criminal
.
Thus
the
poor
Protestants
of
Ireland
continued
in
this
,
though
miserable
,
yet
happy
Condition
in
consideration
to
what
they
afterwards
fell
to
,
till
the
Earl
of
Clarendon
was
sent
thither
Lord-Lieutenant
,
upon
whose
arrival
they
began
again
to
flatter
themselves
with
hopes
of
more
Comfort
,
through
the
Interest
and
Favour
of
him
that
was
so
near
related
to
the
King
,
and
an
assured
Protestant
;
but
they
,
to
their
Sorrow
,
soon
found
his
Wings
clipt
,
and
Tyrconnel
quickly
sent
after
him
,
with
the
Honour
and
Title
of
Earl
,
the
Office
of
Lieutenant-General
and
Check-master
of
the
Army
;
and
Authority
and
Power
to
place
and
displace
whom
he
pleased
;
who
accordingly
forthwith
put
his
Power
in
execution
,
and
issued
out
his
Orders
for
modelling
the
Army
,
which
were
no
sooner
given
,
but
obeyed
,
and
in
all
places
the
Army
drawn
into
the
Field
,
and
about
ten
or
twelve
of
the
oldest
Men
pick'd
out
,
and
their
Cloaths
stript
off
,
and
their
Arms
given
to
Irish
papists
before
their
Faces
;
and
when
those
parcels
were
disciplin'd
,
others
were
still
pick'd
out
,
and
so
from
time
to
time
,
till
the
whole
Army
was
weeded
of
its
Protestants
,
and
replenish'd
with
Irish
Papists
.
When
all
they
could
call
old
were
culled
,
then
the
Excuse
was
Shortness
,
till
the
Popish
Party
was
the
stronger
;
then
they
used
no
further
excuse
,
but
being
Protestants
,
till
the
whole
Protestant
standing
Army
,
which
was
raised
and
at
vast
Expence
,
both
of
Men
and
Mony
to
England
,
there
maintained
for
many
Years
to
secure
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
English
Interest
in
Ireland
,
was
,
by
Popish
Craft
,
and
Favour
and
Means
of
the
great
God
Tyrconnel
,
peaceably
in
one
Year
wholly
destroyed
and
inverted
into
as
Popish
Power
,
the
whole
Treasure
of
the
Kingdom
,
Cities
and
Garisons
,
which
were
first
constituted
to
keep
them
out
,
wholly
possest
and
disposed
of
by
the
Native
Irish
,
and
those
,
who
of
all
Men
,
were
the
greatest
haters
of
the
English
,
and
their
Religion
,
made
the
only
Protectors
of
both
:
and
certainly
must
needs
be
in
a
blessed
State
,
when
the
Fox
is
set
to
watch
the
Geese
,
and
the
Wolves
the
Lambs
.
Now
all
things
became
bare-fuced
,
and
he
that
had
but
half
an
Eye
might
easily
discern
what
was
like
to
follow
;
and
such
as
had
Stooks
of
Mony
,
began
by
degrees
to
transmit
it
to
England
,
and
dispose
of
their
Effects
,
and
afterwards
to
steal
away
themselves
;
while
others
,
whose
Riches
consisted
mostly
in
Stocks
,
which
was
in
others
Hands
,
or
had
not
wherewith
to
transport
themselves
,
and
for
a
Livelihood
were
forced
to
abide
the
approaching
Storm
,
some
to
the
loss
,
others
their
Estates
,
and
most
inevitable
Ruin.
While
these
things
were
doing
,
Darrington
,
a
reputed
Jesuit
,
was
sent
over
,
and
made
first
Major
,
and
after
Lieutenant-Colonel
to
the
Royal
Regiment
in
Dublin
(
to
fulfil
that
part
of
Dr.
Oates's
information
in
his
discovery
of
the
Popish
Plot
)
;
and
one
Barker
(
formerly
Page
to
the
late
Duke
of
Monmouth
,
and
one
of
King
James's
Converts
,
)
Major
,
and
so
proceeded
to
disband
all
Protestant
Officers
in
the
Army
;
and
first
began
with
Sir
William
King
,
then
Governour
of
the
Castle
and
City
of
Limrick
,
Sir
George
St.
George
,
his
Brother
,
and
such
others
as
they
had
noted
to
be
the
most
sober
and
zealous
Protestants
,
and
placed
Irish
Papists
in
their
places
,
till
all
the
Irish
Army
,
both
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
were
Papists
,
excepting
only
some
few
in
the
Regiments
of
the
Lords
Ment
joy
and
Forbes
,
and
Col.
Russel
,
who
were
themselves
Protestants
,
and
in
a
manner
all
the
Protestant
Officers
left
that
first
Year
in
the
whole
Army
,
and
who
were
kept
in
only
to
blind
the
People
till
their
other
work
was
finished
,
and
so
have
the
favour
to
be
devoured
last
.
Things
being
brought
to
this
pass
,
the
whole
Army
Papists
,
and
none
to
oppose
them
,
they
thought
they
safely
might
,
and
accordingly
fell
to
regulate
the
Civil
.
Part
,
and
at
one
blast
removed
sive
or
six
of
the
nine
Protestant
Judges
,
and
left
but
one
upon
each
Bench
for
Ciphers
,
to
colour
the
Matter
,
and
drag
up
the
rest
to
their
own
Justice
,
and
likewise
the
Protestant
Chancellor
,
Sir
Charles
Porter
,
and
most
of
the
Protestant
Privy
Councellors
,
and
fill'd
up
their
places
with
others
of
their
own
Party
,
with
such
prodigious
Broagues
upon
their
Tongues
,
that
they
could
scarce
pronounce
one
word
of
English
truly
;
and
after
these
the
Protestants
which
were
the
Attourneys
,
Solicitors
,
&c.
to
the
King
,
were
pack'd
after
the
Judges
.
In
the
mean
time
they
set
another
Project
on
foot
,
viz.
To
disband
all
the
smallest
of
their
own
Souldiers
as
soon
as
they
were
well
disciplin'd
,
but
not
before
,
and
still
took
in
larger
,
till
they
had
the
Flower
of
the
Country
in
the
Army
,
and
still
sent
the
Old
to
exercise
the
rest
of
their
Breed
in
the
Country
;
So
that
when
they
had
occasion
to
raise
their
fresh
Forces
,
they
were
mostly
in
a
manner
disciplin'd
to
their
hand
,
not
in
expectation
of
using
them
to
their
present
purpose
,
but
in
case
King
James
had
continued
in
the
Throne
,
and
not
answered
their
desire
of
restoring
them
to
their
Estates
,
that
they
might
be
able
to
restore
themselves
,
by
destroying
all
the
English
there
;
and
Darrington
made
two
certain
Sizes
,
one
for
Musqueteers
and
another
for
Pikemen
,
and
those
that
were
too
short
or
long
for
his
Standard
,
when
disciplin'd
,
must
trip
off
.
All
things
being
now
fitted
to
the
purpose
,
Tyrconnel
,
and
the
new
Attorney
General
Sir
Richard
Neagle
,
dispatch'd
to
Whitehall
with
the
Account
,
and
to
advise
about
future
Matters
,
the
Project
of
compleating
their
so
successfully
begun
Work
;
and
after
a
short
stay
,
returned
with
Power
to
displace
the
Earl
of
Clarendon
from
the
Government
,
(
who
indeed
all
discerning
Protestants
there
easily
perceived
was
kept
in
so
long
,
only
to
deceive
the
People
till
the
Work
could
be
brought
to
that
secure
perfection
)
who
eight
days
after
his
arrival
at
Dublin
,
took
his
place
as
Lord
,
Deputy-General
,
and
General-Governour
of
Ireland
,
for
Lord-Lieutenant
he
could
not
be
,
because
born
in
Ireland
.
But
the
good
Earl
of
Clarendon
having
an
account
of
his
approach
,
and
suspecting
what
might
,
and
indeed
did
follow
,
resolved
,
before
his
departure
,
to
consecrate
the
Chappel
in
the
New
Hospital
near
Dublin
,
built
for
the
use
of
old
and
decrepit
Souldiers
,
(
and
is
the
finest
in
Europe
of
its
kind
;
)
and
accordingly
,
did
,
before
well
finished
,
hoping
thereby
to
prevent
its
falling
into
the
Papists
Hands
,
because
the
King
had
declared
he
would
maintain
the
Church
of
England
in
all
her
Rights
and
Properties
,
as
established
by
Law.
But
Tyrconnel
(
who
though
not
so
near
related
to
the
King
,
yet
knew
his
Mind
much
better
)
soon
removed
that
Scruple
,
and
forthwith
after
the
Lord
Clarendon's
departure
,
with
the
chief
of
the
Popish
Clergy
in
Dublin
,
with
Whips
and
Scourges
,
entred
the
said
Chappel
,
fell
to
lashing
the
Walls
and
Floar
to
whip
out
Heresy
,
pulled
down
the
Communion-Table
and
Seats
,
and
erected
in
it
an
Altar
;
and
took
three
or
four
of
the
old
Souldiers
Rooms
adjoining
to
it
,
for
the
Priests
and
Friars
,
and
while
they
exercised
in
the
Chappel
,
the
old
Souldiers
,
for
whose
use
,
and
with
whose
Mony
it
was
built
,
were
forced
to
have
their
Devotion
in
the
open
Hall
where
they
used
to
eat
their
Meat
;
and
in
the
mean
time
a
Libel
was
fixed
upon
the
Doon
of
Christ-Church
in
Dublin
,
to
publish
the
Bains
of
Matrimony
betwixt
that
Church
and
the
See
of
Rome
,
bidding
any
that
could
,
forthwith
to
shew
cause
why
they
should
not
be
joined
together
.
So
that
now
the
Protestants
expected
no
less
than
all
their
Churches
to
be
taken
from
them
;
but
whether
through
the
murmuring
of
the
People
,
or
Orders
from
the
King
to
the
contrary
,
they
proceeded
no
further
as
yet
in
that
Business
,
only
displaced
all
the
Protestant
Chaplains
in
the
Army
,
and
gave
their
Places
and
Benefits
to
Popish
Priests
;
who
thereupon
began
to
wear
black
Cloaks
,
made
much
like
the
Ministers
Gowns
;
and
yet
it
was
a
Crime
to
say
the
King
had
broke
his
Promise
,
and
infringed
the
Rights
of
the
Church
of
England
;
for
it
seems
,
taking
away
Consecrated
Chappels
and
Colledges
,
and
giving
its
Members
Livings
to
Popish
Priests
,
was
not
Infringing
the
Rights
of
the
Church
,
but
maintaining
them
according
to
Law
;
and
it
was
so
indeed
according
to
the
Laws
of
the
Church
of
Rome
;
for
the
King
never
mentioned
what
Law
he
therein
meant
;
and
therefore
did
not
break
his
Promise
.
But
before
further
progress
was
made
in
this
Business
,
it
was
thought
fit
to
Summon
all
Corporations
,
and
Incorporated
Bodies
in
them
,
to
surrender
their
Charters
,
upon
which
Drogheda
and
two
or
three
Towns
more
obeyed
,
and
one
Thomson
,
Chirurgeon
to
the
Royal
Regiment
in
Dublin
,
being
Master
,
and
a
pretended
Protestant
,
to
shew
his
Loyalty
,
readily
threw
the
Charter
of
the
Corporation
of
Chirurgions
in
Dublin
at
Tyrconnel's
feet
,
and
is
lately
come
for
England
,
perhaps
to
get
it
renewed
by
King
William
;
or
else
,
for
that
good
Service
,
to
get
to
be
Chirurgeon
to
another
Regiment
here
in
England
,
for
certainly
the
Man's
Loyalty
well
deserves
it
and
cannot
fail
of
his
Brethrens
Certificate
for
saving
them
the
Charges
,
others
were
exposed
to
in
defending
their
Charters
by
Law
;
which
all
such
as
did
not
surrender
,
or
were
forced
to
do
in
the
Exchequer
,
where
one
of
those
,
a
pretended
Protestant
,
sate
,
worthily
to
Judg
and
give
Sentence
against
them
till
all
was
done
,
and
is
since
likewise
come
for
England
to
receive
his
Reward
:
All
Charters
being
thus
taken
away
,
partly
by
Fraud
,
partly
by
Force
,
others
were
quickly
prepar'd
,
and
in
every
of
them
,
scarce
one
Person
mention'd
in
the
Body
of
the
Charter
but
Papists
,
or
such
as
were
little
better
;
but
particularly
every
Mayor
,
Sheriff
,
Portrief
,
Suffren
,
Bailiff
,
Master
,
Warden
,
and
Clerk
,
were
meer
Papists
except
one
Anth.
Sharp
a
Quaker
,
was
made
,
and
there
named
Master
of
the
Corporation
of
Weavers
in
Dublin
;
and
one
Colvert
,
much
of
the
same
Stamp
,
of
a
new
Corporation
of
Hosiers
;
and
by
these
the
Common
Councils
,
and
Councils
of
the
several
Companies
,
were
either
all
Papists
,
or
Cousin-Germans
to
Papists
.
All
the
Protestant
Chaplains
that
belonged
to
them
put
out
,
and
Popish
Priests
put
in
their
places
:
Most
of
the
Protestant
Justices
,
and
all
the
Protestant
Sheriffs
of
every
County
except
one
,
turn'd
out
;
so
that
in
one
Year
,
or
a
little
more
,
after
Tyrconnel
assum'd
the
Government
,
there
was
very
few
down-right
honest
Protestant
Officers
,
either
Civil
or
Military
in
the
whole
Kingdom
of
Ireland
,
except
those
before
named
;
and
one
Keating
,
who
yet
continued
Lord
Chief
Justice
of
the
Common
Pleas
,
and
one
of
the
Privy
Council
,
and
indeed
,
was
the
best
Friend
the
Protestants
had
there
.
However
things
were
not
yet
perfected
,
for
those
named
in
the
Charters
,
were
mostly
so
indigent
and
poor
,
that
they
were
scarce
able
,
with
their
whole
Fortunes
,
to
pay
three
or
fourscore
Pounds
,
which
was
the
Fees
of
each
Charter
;
and
all
,
or
most
of
the
Protestants
refused
to
contribute
,
till
they
were
compelled
;
some
of
them
imprisoned
,
and
forced
to
Habeas-Corpus's
for
their
Liberty
.
Tyrconnel
disliking
these
Delays
,
sent
for
some
of
the
principal
of
them
,
pressed
them
to
the
Business
,
assuring
them
,
that
if
they
would
join
with
the
Corporations
,
and
take
out
their
Charters
,
he
would
defray
all
Fees
of
each
Charter
above
Twenty
Pounds
,
which
would
not
amount
to
above
five
Shillings
each
Man
at
the
most
,
besides
their
Freedom
of
the
City
,
or
Town
,
which
should
be
granted
them
at
the
same
Rate
;
and
in
case
they
continued
still
obstinate
,
he
must
look
upon
them
as
obstinate
and
stubborn
,
and
disaffected
to
his
Majesty's
Government
.
This
made
some
for
ease
,
and
others
for
fear
,
comply
,
and
become
again
free
;
but
others
who
stood
out
to
this
time
,
were
hamper'd
,
and
had
their
Shops
shut
down
frequently
,
till
the
News
of
the
Scale
turning
in
England
,
which
then
ceas'd
.
But
the
peaceable
Quakers
,
who
before
would
not
under
a
Protestant
Government
take
upon
them
so
much
as
the
Office
of
a
Constable
,
now
under
a
Popish
every
where
readily
conform
;
and
two
of
the
chief
of
them
are
made
Aldermen
of
Dublin
,
viz.
Anthony
Sharp
before
mentioned
,
and
Samuel
Clarrage
,
who
are
excused
from
taking
Oaths
,
and
frequently
sat
in
the
Seat
of
Justice
.
Clarrage
is
at
last
come
for
England
,
and
as
busy
about
Whitehal
and
Westminster
,
as
he
was
with
Tyrconnel
.
While
these
things
were
thus
prosecuted
in
Publick
,
the
Popish
Clergy
,
in
all
parts
of
the
Kingdom
,
were
as
busy
in
private
Caballing
,
and
sending
their
fittest
Messengers
to
Whitchal
,
Rome
,
France
,
Spain
,
and
Germany
,
to
advise
about
,
and
receive
Instructions
for
compleating
their
Damnable
Design
of
overwhelming
and
eradicating
the
Protestant
Religion
,
and
Interest
of
Ireland
in
particular
.
And
the
better
to
delude
the
poor
sleeping
Protestants
,
Tyrconnel
continually
fed
them
with
fresh
Assurances
of
the
King
's
Gracious
Resolutions
,
of
securing
the
Religion
and
Interest
of
the
Protestants
;
and
that
all
this
Work
,
was
only
to
have
an
honest
Parliament
,
that
would
take
off
the
Penal
Laws
,
for
ease
of
all
Dissenters
;
and
that
nothing
could
contribute
more
to
the
Advantage
,
Quiet
,
and
Riches
of
any
Government
:
However
,
God
be
praised
,
all
were
not
so
stupissed
,
but
they
did
plainly
discern
to
have
Popish
Parliaments
,
and
in
Ireland
meer
Irish
;
and
such
as
should
not
only
have
destroyed
the
Protestants
,
but
the
whole
English
Interest
of
Ireland
,
(
which
nothing
but
a
gracious
God
,
and
the
glorious
Instrument
he
used
,
could
have
prevented
,
as
Affairs
then
stood
)
;
but
,
blessed
be
his
Holy
Name
,
God
was
pleased
on
a
sudden
to
blast
all
their
Cursed
Designs
,
and
for
the
present
strike
them
mute
there
as
well
as
in
England
,
with
the
News
of
the
Prince
of
Orange's
intending
for
England
;
which
no
sooner
arrived
,
but
Tyrconnel
prepared
to
send
several
Detachments
of
the
then
standing
Forces
for
England
,
and
accordingly
sent
away
about
3000
of
the
fairest
and
likeliest
of
the
Foot
,
who
were
to
be
followed
by
more
,
till
they
began
to
fear
if
they
did
that
,
the
Protestants
,
who
they
knew
they
had
deserved
no
better
from
,
might
rise
against
them
,
and
therefore
forbore
that
part
of
the
Design
for
the
present
,
and
forthwith
speeded
the
raising
of
more
Forces
,
and
by
Christmass
had
their
Army
(
which
before
consisted
of
about
5000
Horse
and
Foot
,
after
the
others
came
for
England
)
compleat
30000
Men
;
and
before
the
beginning
of
March
,
without
so
much
as
beat
of
Drum
,
or
a
Penny
Charge
to
the
King
,
Tyrconnel
had
compleated
the
following
Regiments
of
Horse
,
Foot
,
and
Dragoons
,
as
they
stood

Some
consisting
of
20
,
22
,
or
24
Hundred
:
So
that
the
whole
amounted
to
about
80000
,
compleatly
Accoutred
and
Disciplin'd
;
all
rais'd
,
cloath'd
,
and
kept
till
that
time
at
the
proper
Charge
of
their
several
Officers
,
many
of
which
were
before
but
Taylors
,
Coblers
,
and
such
others
as
perhaps
were
scarce
able
to
procure
before
Bread
for
their
Families
;
but
now
,
for
managing
this
Blessed
Cause
,
sell
all
that
ever
they
have
,
and
their
Friends
too
,
to
carry
on
the
Holy
Design
.
In
the
mean
time
,
while
the
Men
were
raising
,
Tyrconnel
ordered
all
the
Gun-smiths
,
Carpenters
,
and
Joyners
,
to
be
forthwith
imployed
for
cleansing
,
stocking
,
and
locking
all
the
old
Fire-Arms
;
and
the
Cutlers
for
cleansing
and
sheathing
the
Swords
,
which
since
the
last
Wars
had
lain
rusting
in
the
Stores
,
and
such
as
refused
,
were
sent
to
Prison
till
they
comply'd
;
who
,
besides
the
old
Locks
,
were
promis'd
for
each
Musquet
10s
.
and
every
Pistol
6s
.
but
when
they
will
get
it
I
know
not
;
some
they
were
paid
all
along
,
to
keep
Life
and
Soul
together
:
So
that
with
the
Arms
he
had
the
Summer
before
received
from
England
,
Tyrconnel
had
not
only
Arms
for
his
whole
Army
,
but
many
more
;
and
by
the
Priests
had
made
all
the
other
Papists
in
the
Kingdom
,
the
Men
to
Arm
themselves
with
Half-pikes
,
and
Skeins
,
or
Bayonets
,
and
the
Women
with
Skeins
or
Bayonets
;
and
in
case
,
after
a
certain
day
,
any
in
the
Country
went
to
Mass
without
those
Arms
,
they
were
by
the
Priests
obliged
to
pay
a
Shilling
,
and
curst
by
Bell
,
Book
,
and
Candle
:
So
that
in
less
than
five
months
**
time
the
whole
Body
of
the
Irish
Papists
were
every
where
Armed
,
to
the
great
terror
of
the
Protestants
;
and
as
they
were
naturally
inclin'd
to
Theft
,
so
now
they
were
by
Authority
put
into
an
excellent
condition
to
perform
it
,
which
with
the
inability
of
the
new
Officers
to
maintain
them
,
upon
destroying
the
Protestants
,
which
at
first
they
began
moderately
by
way
of
stealth
in
the
Night
;
but
when
the
Owners
began
to
grumble
and
complain
to
no
purpose
,
with
much
more
violence
and
boldness
,
and
by
degrees
increased
their
Spoils
,
till
at
length
in
open
Day
they
spared
not
,
before
the
Owners
Faces
,
to
drive
away
together
often
,
from
one
Man
100
,
sometimes
1000
Sheep
,
20
,
30
,
40
,
50
,
or
60
Cows
,
Oxen
,
and
the
like
;
and
such
as
would
not
drive
,
and
were
not
for
their
purpose
,
they
kill'd
,
and
carried
away
the
Skin
,
Hide
,
and
Tallow
,
and
left
the
dead
Carkasses
as
dirty
and
useless
as
they
could
,
fit
for
nothing
but
Vermin
;
and
such
as
was
not
for
their
own
purpose
,
they
drove
,
or
kill'd
,
and
carried
to
Fairs
and
Markets
,
and
sold
to
others
of
their
own
Breed
,
who
had
not
so
much
Courage
(
and
a
little
more
Honesty
than
)
to
steal
a
fat
Weather
,
which
six
or
seven
Months
before
was
worth
9
or
10s
.
for
1s
.
and
a
fat
Ox
worth
3
or
4
〈◊〉
for
12
or
〈◊〉
a
Cow
of
50
s.
for
5
or
6.
s.
But
at
length
they
proceeded
further
,
even
to
take
away
the
Corn
and
Houshold-goods
;
so
that
he
that
over-night
was
worth
9
or
4000l
.
the
next
day
,
or
week
,
had
not
a
Morsel
to
put
in
his
Head
,
or
Rag
to
hang
on
his
Back
,
but
what
Charity
he
received
from
other
Protestants
not
yet
so
absolutely
ruined
.
At
length
they
were
so
glutted
with
these
Spoils
,
that
they
began
to
be
more
absolute
,
and
fent
or
went
to
the
Houses
of
such
as
their
Mercy
had
not
yet
destroyed
,
and
supposed
to
have
any
Mony
,
threatning
,
that
if
they
did
not
forthwith
,
or
within
a
certain
time
by
them
limited
,
deliver
to
them
such
Sums
as
their
Moderation
thought
fit
to
demand
,
they
would
,
and
did
,
burn
their
Houses
and
Corn
,
kill
and
leave
their
Cattel
dead
upon
the
Ground
Among
the
rest
,
one
Franeis
Baker
a
Merchant
in
Youghill
in
particular
,
having
in
the
County
of
Tipperary
a
stock
of
fat
Cattel
,
went
,
about
the
latter
end
of
January
last
to
fetch
them
home
,
hoping
they
might
be
more
secure
in
Barrels
,
and
a
Town
of
reasonable
strength
,
than
in
the
open
Fields
;
but
as
he
was
marching
,
a
Crew
of
the
new-raised
Irish
Forces
,
met
,
and
demanded
of
him
,
whither
he
was
driving
those
Cattel
,
and
told
him
,
they
had
more
right
to
them
than
he
,
and
unless
he
satisfied
them
,
must
be
content
to
leave
them
behind
him
;
whereupon
he
was
forthwith
forced
to
pay
for
those
his
own
Cattel
,
15
or
16l
.
Sterling
,
which
was
as
much
as
they
would
have
yielded
in
their
Mountain
Markets
.
And
to
be
short
,
the
Spoil
was
so
general
and
great
,
that
in
December
,
and
part
of
January
last
,
they
had
destroyed
,
in
the
Counties
of
Cork
and
Kerry
,
above
4000
Head
of
black
Cattel
,
as
Cows
and
Oxen
;
and
there
,
and
in
the
County
of
Tipperary
,
2
or
300000
Sheep
:
And
so
in
all
other
parts
,
especially
the
Provinces
of
Minister
and
Leinster
proportionably
;
so
that
before
the
beginning
of
February
,
it
was
thought
they
had
destroyed
in
all
parts
of
Kingdom
above
1000000
Head
of
Cattel
,
besides
Corn
and
Houses
,
and
thereby
utterly
spoiled
the
most
plentiful
Country
in
these
parts
of
Europe
;
so
that
20
Years
of
perfect
Peace
cannot
be
thought
to
restore
it
to
the
State
in
which
it
was
at
the
Death
of
King
Charles
the
Second
.
The
Protestants
of
Ireland
alarm'd
at
these
Devastations
,
began
to
Arm
,
and
provide
themselves
against
them
;
and
first
the
Citizens
of
London-derry
,
understanding
that
two
Companies
of
the
new-rais'd
Forces
were
marching
to
quarter
in
that
City
,
shut
their
Gates
,
and
resolved
to
stand
upon
their
own
Defence
,
and
when
they
came
,
refused
them
entrance
:
Whereupon
the
Lord
Deputy
Tyrconnel
,
and
the
Privy
Council
,
thought
it
most
expedient
to
send
the
Lord
Mon●joy
(
a
Man
of
great
esteem
among
the
Protestants
of
that
County
)
with
six
Companies
of
his
Regiment
which
he
took
from
Dublins
to
reduce
them
;
who
coming
before
the
place
,
demanded
,
but
was
refused
Entrance
for
two
days
;
In
the
interim
it
was
concluded
to
receive
him
into
the
Town
singly
alone
;
and
being
admitted
,
it
was
concluded
,
that
provided
he
procured
their
Pardon
within
14
days
,
they
would
receive
two
Companies
of
his
Men
,
to
he
made
up
all
Protestants
,
to
Garison
in
the
Town
,
and
at
the
beginning
of
March
as
many
Papists
,
or
as
many
more
of
any
other
Regiment
;
which
being
perform'd
on
both
hands
,
the
Lord
Montjoy
returned
for
Dublin
,
and
with
the
Lord
Chief
Baron
Rice
was
sent
for
France
to
know
the
King's
Pleasure
;
but
privately
an
Account
was
sent
with
him
by
Rice
,
that
he
held
correspondence
with
the
Prince
of
Orange
,
for
which
he
was
committed
,
and
still
remains
close
Prisoner
in
the
Bastile
of
Paris
.
This
Lord
was
no
sooner
gone
for
France
,
but
his
two
Companies
left
in
London-derry
,
with
the
City
,
again
revolted
;
and
John
Hawkins
Esq
a
young
brisk
zealous
Protestant
Gentleman
,
of
good
Fortune
and
Interest
in
that
Province
,
accompanied
with
about
100
others
,
well
Armed
and
Mounted
,
pursued
the
Example
of
the
Lord
Delamere
in
England
,
and
march'd
from
place
to
place
to
stir
up
the
Protestants
to
Arm
and
Assemble
together
for
their
own
Defence
,
against
the
common
Enemy
and
Abuses
;
and
in
a
short
time
was
so
succesful
,
as
to
induce
the
whole
Province
of
Vlster
so
to
do
,
(
except
the
Towns
of
Carigfergus
and
Ardmagh
)
and
among
them
the
Lord
Mount-Alexander
,
Lord
Blaney
,
Sir
Arthur
Roden
,
and
several
other
Persons
of
Note
and
Quality
:
And
by
their
Example
the
Town
and
County
of
Sleigo
,
in
the
Province
of
Connaught
,
was
moved
to
rise
in
like
manner
by
the
Lord
Kingston
,
and
Chidly
Coote
Esq
.
And
soon
after
the
Town
of
Ardmagh
seized
and
disarmed
a
Troop
of
Dragoons
that
was
quartered
there
,
and
sent
them
away
naked
;
and
several
other
Towns
did
the
like
:
And
so
,
and
with
Supplies
they
procured
from
Scotland
,
armed
themselves
indifferently
,
and
formed
themselves
into
Troops
and
Companies
,
under
the
Command
of
the
Persons
of
Quality
afore-mentioned
,
and
began
to
take
Reprizals
for
their
Losses
;
but
Garrigfergus
held
out
for
the
Irish
all
along
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Irish
made
it
their
Business
to
stop
all
Passages
thither
,
however
,
many
got
to
them
,
some
one
way
and
some
another
,
and
a
little
after
Christmas
about
fifty
Protestants
that
belonged
to
several
Companies
in
Dublin
,
about
five
at
Night
met
,
and
with
their
Arms
,
marched
toward
the
North
all
Night
long
,
and
the
next
day
,
till
they
had
got
about
40
Miles
;
but
being
discovered
,
Forces
were
sent
to
pursue
them
,
so
that
being
over-powered
,
they
were
taken
and
carryed
Prisoners
bound
into
Dublin
Castle
,
and
thence
commited
to
Goals
,
where
some
of
them
still
remain
without
tryal
;
others
were
enlarged
,
upon
giving
security
for
their
good
Behaviour
,
and
never
to
take
up
Arms
against
King
James
.
The
next
Day
after
they
were
brought
in
,
all
the
Protestants
among
the
Horse
were
disbanded
,
and
their
Horses
,
Arms
,
and
Cloaths
taken
from
them
;
for
which
some
of
them
had
afterwards
5l
.
for
what
cost
them
20l.
but
many
nothing
to
this
day
.
And
Tyrconnel
had
all
the
Foot
drawn
out
,
and
at
the
head
of
them
,
told
them
,
that
such
as
pleased
might
lay
down
their
Arms
and
Commissions
;
upon
which
all
the
Protestant
Officers
and
Souldiers
that
appear'd
the
next
day
did
,
which
much
surprized
his
greatness
,
but
the
Drums
and
Trumpets
he
would
not
permit
,
not
having
any
that
were
Papists
to
supply
their
places
,
so
that
much
against
their
wills
they
are
forced
yet
to
stay
under
them
.
The
Protestants
in
other
parts
being
more
intermingled
with
Irish
than
those
of
the
North
,
could
not
put
themselves
into
so
sudden
a
defensive
posture
;
however
were
not
idle
,
but
as
opportunity
gave
leave
,
so
that
they
might
not
be
suspected
,
provided
such
Arms
and
Ammunition
as
they
could
most
conveniently
procure
,
till
they
were
reasonably
well
Arm'd
throughout
the
Kingdom
,
and
at
the
beginning
of
February
at
a
place
called
Summerhill
,
within
20
miles
of
Dublin
,
there
was
got
together
about
300
Protestants
;
and
near
the
King's
County
under
Sir
Laurance
Parsons
,
such
another
Number
,
At
Charlevile
,
the
Seat
of
the
Earl
of
Orrery
,
within
12
miles
of
Limrick
,
under
Sir
Thomas
Southwell
,
and
Sir
William
King
,
before
mentioned
,
250
Horse
,
and
160
Foot.
At
Mallow
within
12
miles
of
Cork
,
300
Horse
and
200
Foot
under
Esq
.
Jephson
,
and
Captain
C●llenger
,
at
Castlelions
within
10
miles
of
Cork
.
Under
the
Earl
of
Barrymore
,
200
Horse
,
and
240
Foot.
At
Castle-Marter
,
under
Esq
.
Boyle
60
or
80.
And
in
most
other
Towns
and
Castles
thereabouts
the
like
numbers
.
In
Bandon
7
or
8000
Horse
and
foot
,
all
forming
themselves
into
Troops
and
Companies
,
and
Exercising
,
intending
to
put
themselves
under
the
Command
of
the
Lord
Inchiqueen
,
and
the
aforesaid
Boyle
,
and
had
resolved
and
agreed
,
that
if
any
place
were
attacqued
,
notice
should
be
forthwith
dispatch'd
to
all
the
rest
,
and
all
were
to
join
and
march
to
its
relief
within
24
hours
;
which
Tyrconnel
having
notice
of
,
sent
Express
forthwith
to
Major
General
Mac-Carty
then
in
Cork
to
draw
out
with
three
Pieces
of
Cannon
against
Castle-martyr
,
who
no
sooner
came
before
it
,
but
they
received
an
express
,
from
those
who
intended
to
head
them
,
that
it
was
thought
fit
and
adviseable
for
them
to
surrender
,
which
they
did
,
upon
Discretion
,
and
Boyle
was
taken
and
carried
Prisoner
to
Cork
;
and
upon
the
surrender
,
the
like
advice
was
given
(
it
is
not
convenient
to
tell
here
by
who
)
to
all
the
rest
thereabouts
,
to
depart
to
their
respective
Homes
:
but
Sir
Thomas
Southwell
,
with
245
Horse
marched
directly
towards
the
North
;
but
the
Journey
being-near
200
miles
compleat
,
and
all
through
an
Enemies
Country
,
and
Expresses
sent
before
to
raise
the
whole
Country
,
and
Forces
every-where
as
they
went
,
which
the
poor
Gentlemen
pushed
through
,
till
both
they
and
their
Horses
,
being
thoroughly
spent
for
want
of
Meat
,
and
no
longer
able
to
hold
,
were
forced
to
submit
,
and
surrender
up
their
Horses
and
Arms
,
upon
condition
to
have
leave
for
themselves
to
return
to
their
several
Habitations
.
But
as
there
is
no
Faith
to
be
kept
with
Hereticks
,
so
these
poor
Creatures
had
no
sooner
parted
with
their
Arms
,
but
they
were
all
bound
,
and
drove
like
Dogs
to
the
Goal
of
Galloway
,
and
the
last
Assizes
there
condemn'd
to
be
Drawn
,
Hang'd
,
and
Quartered
;
but
upon
the
second
of
April
got
a
Reprieve
for
a
month
.
One
Brown
,
a
Man
of
considerable
Fortune
,
was
going
with
them
,
but
fearing
to
get
thorough
,
returned
back
,
went
to
a
neighbouring
Justice
,
and
told
him
where
he
had
been
,
but
disliking
the
Enterprize
,
was
returned
in
obedience
to
the
Lord
Deputy's
Proclamation
of
Pardon
,
to
give
Security
for
his
future
good
Behaviour
;
however
was
forthwith
,
by
a
strong
Guard
,
sent
prisoner
to
Cork
,
and
was
there
afterwards
tryed
and
executed
for
High-Treason
while
King
James
was
there
.
And
in
Phillips-town
in
the
Kings
County
there
are
Sir
Laurence
Parsons
,
and
about
50
more
,
under
the
same
condemnation
;
and
in
Marisborough
in
the
Queen's
County
,
13
or
14
,
and
in
several
other
parts
the
like
numbers
,
whose
particulars
are
not
yet
come
to
the
Authors
hands
,
which
were
taken
much
after
the
same
manner
.
Other
parts
being
thus
reduced
,
Mac-Carty
Forthwith
drew
all
the
Forces
in
Munster
against
Bandon
,
a
Town
,
which
till
these
Times
,
never
permitted
a
Papist
to
dwell
within
its
Wallt
,
and
likewise
forced
them
to
Surrender
,
and
give
five
of
their
Town
Hostages
for
the
payment
of
1000l
.
for
the
trouble
they
had
given
his
Army
,
500l
.
of
which
they
paid
down
,
and
the
other
five
was
remitted
upon
a
Petition
to
King
James
,
upon
his
landing
at
Kingsale
.
During
these
Hurries
in
other
parts
,
there
was
not
any
rising
in
the
County
or
City
of
Dublin
;
however
all
were
not
idle
,
but
several
Active
Spirits
,
a
knot
of
six
or
seven
in
particular
,
whose
Names
are
not
convenient
to
be
mentioned
here
,
being
most
still
under
the
Papists
Lash
,
promoted
,
as
't
was
thought
,
principally
by
one
,
who
upon
the
landing
of
the
now
King
William
in
England
,
for
his
Religion
was
singled
out
to
taste
of
Popish
Mercy
,
with
an
Intent
to
seize
the
Castle
and
Guards
of
Dublin
,
and
send
Tyrconnel
for
England
.
And
for
the
better
effecting
thereof
,
had
by
Stratagems
caused
most
of
the
Protestants
there
to
Arm
themselves
,
though
at
the
same
time
they
knew
not
what
for
,
further
,
than
in
case
any
Attempt
were
made
by
the
Papists
upon
their
Lives
by
way
of
Massacre
(
as
they
certainly
intended
,
till
happily
discovered
by
an
unknown
Hand
of
their
own
Party
to
a
Protestant
Lord
,
on
the
5th
of
December
)
which
so
allarm'd
all
Protestants
,
that
it
was
in
vain
to
attempt
it
after
,
and
especially
while
the
Protestants
were
any
where
in
Arms
,
(
for
that
would
have
made
all
desperate
,
and
not
so
easily
to
be
reduced
as
they
were
)
;
but
before
the
Protestants
of
Dublin
could
bring
their
business
to
bear
,
and
get
Ammunition
enough
to
resist
such
Force
as
might
be
brought
against
them
,
before
they
could
expect
Supplies
from
England
,
Tyrconnel
began
to
suspect
them
;
and
forthwith
call'd
such
Supplies
and
Numbers
of
Horse
and
Foot
thither
,
that
with
what
was
there
before
,
made
up
14
or
15000
Men
,
whose
Number
and
Presence
spoil'd
that
great
Project
,
which
otherwise
was
so
well
laid
,
that
it
had
certainly
taken
effect
,
if
put
in
execution
,
and
brought
Tyrconnel
for
England
,
and
so
saved
the
extream
Ruin
and
Devastation
the
Protestants
have
since
suffered
through
his
Villany
.
For
any
time
before
that
great
Force
came
to
Dublin
,
which
was
at
the
beginning
of
February
,
5000
Men
well
Arm'd
in
that
City
,
and
commanded
,
had
been
sufficient
,
with
what
was
ready
and
might
have
bin
raised
there
,
to
reduce
,
not
only
Dublin
,
but
all
Ireland
.
But
the
noise
of
the
forementioned
designed
Massacre
,
and
the
Sufferings
of
others
,
put
People
to
the
flight
for
England
so
fast
,
and
made
those
that
stayed
so
dubious
,
that
it
was
hard
to
know
who
to
trust
there
under
the
Nose
of
the
Government
;
and
there
was
not
one
Person
of
Quality
then
there
that
would
undertake
to
Head
them
,
tho
often
importuned
,
and
assured
of
4000
Men
well
Arm'd
at
two
hours
warning
,
and
many
of
them
well
exercised
,
and
so
many
resolute
good
Souldiers
as
would
have
attempted
to
seize
the
Guards
.
About
this
time
a
French
Man
landed
at
Cork
,
and
rid
post
to
Dublin
,
with
assurance
from
King
James
to
Tyrconnel
of
his
speedy
coming
to
his
relief
;
and
on
Friday
the
22d
of
Feb.
two
of
his
Officers
that
had
escaped
from
the
Isle
of
Wight
,
came
privately
to
the
Castle
of
Dublin
,
and
continued
there
in
cognito
till
Sunday
following
about
10
at
night
;
then
on
a
suddain
the
noyse
was
spread
all
over
the
Kingdom
,
that
the
King
was
landed
with
5000
Men
,
and
that
the
two
forementioned
Officers
came
with
the
Express
to
the
Lord
Deputy
,
which
on
a
sudden
put
all
into
hurries
;
and
where
Bonfires
were
not
immediately
made
,
the
Souldiers
broke
the
Windows
,
Signs
,
and
Doors
,
and
rifled
the
Houses
;
and
the
next
Morning
by
six
of
the
Clock
,
strong
Guards
were
placed
at
the
end
of
every
Street
,
and
every
Gate
about
the
City
and
Suburbs
of
Dublin
,
and
all
others
of
any
Note
and
Strength
:
So
that
it
was
generally
concluded
by
the
Protestants
,
there
were
Forces
landed
from
England
;
but
they
were
soon
undeceived
,
being
all
disarm'd
and
eis'd
of
their
Horses
,
which
for
the
present
was
judged
by
every
place
to
be
only
in
it self
,
but
was
soon
known
to
be
general
to
all
parts
where
their
Power
could
then
reach
.
In
Dublin
they
seized
all
the
Churches
to
put
the
Arms
in
,
which
not
being
brought
according
to
their
expectation
,
Tyrconnel
issued
out
a
Declaration
,
that
all
such
as
had
yet
detain'd
their
Arms
,
should
forthwith
deliver
them
up
upon
peril
of
being
left
to
the
mercy
of
his
Souldiers
;
and
that
Gentlemen
might
keep
their
wearing
Swords
:
however
some
broke
them
to
pieces
,
others
flung
them
into
Ditches
and
Rivers
,
where
many
were
afterwards
found
,
and
some
kept
them
still
.
The
two
next
days
they
sent
Forces
to
suppress
those
of
Summerhil
before-mentioned
;
and
one
Price
who
had
been
Treasurer
formerly
,
was
with
a
Party
of
4
or
500
Horse
and
Foot
,
in
a
Castle
in
the
County
of
Wicklow
,
20
miles
on
the
other
side
of
Dublin
,
who
took
Price
,
and
several
others
,
and
committed
them
Prisoners
to
Newgate
in
Dublin
,
and
the
rest
to
Wicklow
,
whither
Price
and
the
rest
were
,
after
four
days
,
carried
and
Indicted
for
High-Treason
;
but
all
the
Irish
being
gone
for
Souldiers
,
and
the
English
fled
out
of
the
Country
,
there
could
not
be
a
Jury
got
,
but
against
whom
they
made
Exceptions
for
want
of
Freehold
;
so
that
their
Trial
was
remitted
to
the
Term
now
(
at
the
writing
of
this
)
sitting
in
Dublin
;
in
the
mean
time
all
but
seven
were
bailed
,
and
after
with
their
Bail
fled
for
England
,
where
most
of
them
now
are
to
confirm
the
Tragical
Story
.
Tyrconnel
having
thus
easily
succeeded
so
far
,
the
same
week
sent
24000
Men
towards
the
North
,
under
the
command
of
Lieutenant
General
Hamilton
,
(
who
was
once
a
Prisoner
here
)
with
several
Field-pieces
and
Mortars
,
who
upon
the
first
of
March
were
got
near
50
mile
,
from
Dublin
and
within
five
miles
of
the
Protestant
Forces
;
who
upon
no
ice
of
their
approach
,
forthwith
assembled
what
they
could
together
,
which
were
not
1500
,
near
a
place
called
Drummore
;
but
upon
the
Enemies
approach
,
they
found
them
so
numerous
,
that
the
Lord
Mount-Alexander
thought
fit
to
retire
,
and
accordingly
did
;
which
the
Irish
perceiving
,
pursued
them
about
five
miles
,
and
killed
about
150
of
the
Protestants
,
and
many
of
them
such
as
never
were
in
Arms
,
but
running
away
in
the
hurry
:
The
Ld
Mount-Alexander
,
and
many
others
,
got
away
for
England
;
some
for
Colerain
,
and
afterward
to
London-derry
,
or
Scotland
.
In
the
mean
time
the
Irish
proceeded
towards
Colerain
,
and
found
no
opposition
till
they
came
thither
;
but
for
the
first
15
or
16
miles
found
nothing
but
ruin'd
Houses
,
and
the
Ditches
fuil
of
Houshold-goods
,
Meal
and
Corn
,
thrown
away
by
the
Protestants
to
prevent
its
falling
into
the
hands
of
their
merciless
devouring
Enemy
;
but
afterwards
they
did
not
find
so
much
,
the
People
having
more
time
to
carry
it
with
them
,
and
so
left
the
Irish
without
any
Relief
but
what
they
brought
with
them
;
so
that
both
Men
and
Horses
in
the
Popish
Army
were
in
a
bad
condition
for
want
of
Food
and
Forrage
.
After
all
this
Success
,
King
-
James
landed
at
Kingsale
,
on
Tuesday
,
March
12.
and
for
want
of
Bells
,
was
welcomed
with
the
Shouts
and
Acclamations
of
the
People
,
Bonfires
,
&c.
and
the
next
day
went
to
Cork
,
and
stayed
there
till
Tyrconnel
came
to
him
at
Major
Gen.
Mac
Carties
;
on
Wednesday
the
20th
,
set
out
from
thence
,
and
lay
that
Night
at
the
Earl
of
Cork's
House
at
Lifmore
;
on
Thursday
Night
at
Clonmel
;
on
Friday
Night
at
Kilkenny
,
in
the
Duke
of
Ormond's
Castle
;
and
on
Saturday
night
at
Sir
Maurice
Eustaces
near
Kilkullen-Bridg
,
17
miles
from
Dublin
,
and
all
along
the
Roads
,
had
the
Lanes
and
Hedges
lin'd
with
the
Half-pike
&
Bayonet-Rabble
,
call'd
Reparees
:
At
Carloe
he
was
slabber'd
with
the
kisses
of
the
rude
Country
Irish
Gentlewomen
,
so
that
he
was
forced
to
beg
to
have
them
kept
from
him
;
and
on
Saturday
the
24th
about
Noon
,
he
entred
the
City
of
Dublin
.
where
all
the
Souldiers
were
placed
,
from
St.
James's-Gate
(
at
his
first
entrance
)
to
the
Castle-Gate
,
all
along
,
for
about
a
mile
of
Ground
on
both
sides
,
the
Streets
which
were
every
where
strewed
with
fresh
Cravel
:
And
at
his
first
entrance
into
the
Liberty
of
the
City
,
there
was
a
Stage
built
covered
with
Tapestry
,
and
thereon
two
playing
on
Welch-Harps
;
and
below
a
great
number
of
Friers
,
with
a
large
Cross
,
singing
;
and
about
40
Oyster-wenches
,
Poultry
and
Herb-women
,
in
White
(
and
among
them
some
known
to
have
two
or
three
Bastards
,
yet
passing
for
Maids
)
dancing
,
who
thence
ran
along
to
the
Castle
by
his
side
,
here
and
there
strewing
Flowers
;
some
hung
out
of
their
Balconies
Tapestry
,
and
Cloath
of
Arras
;
and
others
imitating
them
,
sewed
together
the
Coverings
of
Turkey-work
Chairs
,
and
Bandle-Cloth
Blankets
,
and
hung
them
out
likewise
on
each
side
of
the
Street
.
He
rid
along
through
the
whole
Country
,
mostly
on
Horse-back
,
but
chiefly
through
all
the
Towns
and
Villages
.
About
a
mile
from
Dublin
he
call'd
for
a
fresh
Pad-Nag
,
which
turning
about
to
be
brought
him
,
got
loose
,
and
forced
him
to
stay
;
which
did
in
some
measure
vex
him
,
so
that
he
said
to
Tyrconnel
,
I
think
you
are
all
boder'd
;
but
the
Pad
being
soon
brought
him
,
he
mounted
,
and
marched
forward
,
and
at
the
utmost
Limits
was
met
by
the
Lord
Mayor
,
Aldermen
,
Common
Council
,
Master
,
Wardens
,
and
Brethren
of
the
several
Companies
in
their
Formalities
,
the
King
and
Herald
at
Arms
,
Pursevants
,
and
Servants
of
the
Houshold
,
and
there
received
the
Sword
of
State
,
(
which
he
gave
to
Tyrconnel
,
who
carried
it
before
him
through
the
City
)
and
the
Sword
and
Keys
of
the
City
,
and
there
had
a
Speech
made
to
welcome
him
to
that
Loyal
City
and
People
,
by
Counsellor
Dillion
,
who
that
Morning
was
sworn
Recorder
in
the
room
of
Counsellor
Barnwel
.
From
thence
he
set
forward
toward
the
Castle
,
preceded
by
five
or
six
Coaches
,
with
six
Horses
each
,
two
Callashes
,
four
or
five
Bung-Carts
,
and
one
close
Waggon
attended
by
five
or
six
French
Troopers
;
next
them
followed
about
200
of
the
Straglers
of
the
City
that
went
out
to
meet
him
;
and
after
them
the
aformentioned
Barker
,
Major
to
the
Royal
Regiment
,
bareheaded
,
giving
Orders
to
the
Souldiers
to
keep
the
middle

the
Street

and
stand
with
their
Musquets
shouldred
;
then
29
Horsemen

shouting
before
Mr.
Fitz-James
who
was
alone
in
one

Tyrconnel's
Coaches
with
six
Horses

close
after
him
followed
three

after
them

closely
followed
by

in
their
Liveries
;
after
them
about
20
of
the
Gentlemen
at
large
on
Horseback
;
then
the
Messengers
and
Pursevants
,
Servants
of
the
Houshold
;
next
them
the
Herald
and
King
at
Arms
;
close
after
them
Tyrcounel
,
carrying
the
Sword
of
State
immediately
before
the
late
K.
James
,
who
rid
on
the
aforesaid
Pad-Nag
,
in
a
plain
Cinnamon-colour'd
Cloth
Suit
,
and
black
slouching
Hat
,
and
a
George
hung
over
his
Shoulder
with
a
blew
Ribbon
;
he
was
attended
by
the
Duke
of
Berwick
,
Lord
Granard
,
and
the
aforesaid
Maids
running
by
him
on
his
left
hand
,
the
Lord
Powis
and
Melfort
on
his
Right
,
with
their
Hats
on
;
close
after
him
followed
a
Troop
of
Dragoons
,
several
Gentlemen
and
Officers
,
two
Troops
of
Horse
,
and
many
Attendants
;
after
them
six
Lords
Coaches
,
with
six
Horses
each
;
then
the
aforesaid
Judg
Keating
in
Scarlet
;
and
next
after
his
three
other
Gentlemens
Coaches
empty
,
with

;
then
three
Coaches
,
with
two
Horses
each
;
and
then
last
of
all
the
confused
Rabble
on
Foot.
As
he
was
riding
along
in
this
Order
,
one
Flemming
a
pretended
mad
Scots-man
,
in
Skinner-row
,
the
middle
of
the
City
,
suddenly
rushed
through
the
Croud
,
flung
his
Hat
over
the
King's
Head
,
crying
,
in
French
,
with
a
loud
Voice
,
Let
the
King
live
for
ever
,
caught
suddenly
(
mad-man
like
)
fast
hold
of
the
King's
Hand
,
and
kist
it
,
and
so
ran
capering
after
his
Hat.
As
he
marched
thus
along
,
the
Pipers
of
the
several
Companies
played
the
Tune
of
,
The
King
enjoys
his
own
again
;
and
the
People
shouting
and
crying
,
God
save
the
King
:
And
if
any
Protestants
were
observed
not
to
shew
their
Zeal
that
way
,
they
were
immediately
revil'd
and
abused
by
the
rude
Papists
:
And
being
come
thus
to
the
Castle
,
alighted
from
his
Horse
,
and
was
met
at
the
Gate
by
the
Host
,
over-shaded
with
a
Canopy
bore
up
by
four
Popish
Bishops
,
and
accompanied
with
a
numerous
Train
of
Friers
singing
,
and
others
of
that
Clergy
;
and
among
the
rest
the
Titular
Primate
with
a
Triple
Crown
upon
his
Head
representing
the
Pope
;
who
this
unfortunate
and
by-gotted
Prince
no
sooner
saw
,
but
he
forthwith
went
down
upon
his
Knees
to
pray
to
the
Image
,
and
for
a
Blessing
from
this
Irish
Pope
:
And
from
thence
conducted
into
the
Chappel
there
,
(
made
by
Tyrconnel
,
of
Hen.
Cromwel's
Riding-house
)
where
Te
Deum
was
sung
for
his
happy
Arrival
;
thence
he
retired
into
an
Appartment
prepared
in
a
new
House
built
before
in
the
Castle
by
Tyrconnel
,
and
there
din'd
and
refresh'd
himself
:
The
next
Morning
he
call'd
a
Council
,
and
having
turn'd
out
the
Earl
of
Granard
,
Chairman
,
Judg
Keating
,
&c.
and
taken
in
their
rooms
M.
D'
Avaux
,
the
Bp
of
Chister
,
and
Lieut.
Col.
Darrington
,
he
ordered
five
several
Proclamations
to
be
published
;
one
for
raising
such
Monies
as
passed
there
,
viz.
a
Guiny
to
24s
.
an
English
Shilling
to
13d
.
a
Duccatoon
which
was
6s
.
to
6s
.
3d.
a
Cob
of
4s
.
9d
.
to
5s
.
a
Cob
of
4s
.
6d
.
to
4s
.
9d
.
a
French
Lewis
of
Gold
to
19s
.
and
all
others
proportionably
.
Another
for
a
Parliament
to
meet
at
Dublin
the
7th
of
May
,
for
regulating
Matters
Ecclesiastical
.
A
third
to
require
all
his
Subjects
of
that
Kingdom
that
had
lately
left
the
same
,
upon
any
Pretence
whatever
,
to
return
Home
,
with
assurance
of
his
Protection
,
but
no
Penalty
or
Forfeiture
for
not
returning
,
or
Pardon
for
any
Offender
that
did
;
and
requiring
all
his
Subjects
,
of
what
Degree
or
Perswasion
soever
,
to
join
with
him
against
the
Prince
of
Orange
.
A
fourth
,
commending
all
his
Roman-Catholick
Subjects
for
their
Vigilancy
and
Care
in
arming
themselves
;
yet
,
whereas
it
had
incouraged
some
certain
Robberies
,
required
all
but
such
as
were
actually
under
Command
and
Pay
in
the
Army
,
to
lay
up
their
Arms
in
their
several
Abodes
.
The
fifth
,
to
invite
the
Country
to
carry
Provision
to
his
Army
in
the
North
;
requiring
all
Officers
and
Souldiers
not
to
take
any
from
them
but
what
they
made
good
pay
for
▪
From
thence
went
into
the
Field
to
see
the
Forces
drawn
out
,
and
there
made
Darrington
Colonel
of
the
Royal
Regiment
in
the
room
of
the
Duke
of
Ormond
;
and
returning
to
the
Castle
,
created
Tyrconnel
Duke
of
Tyrconnel
.
The
next
day
he
received
an
Express
that
his
Forces
in
the
North
,
having
sate
down
before
Colerain
,
were
destroyed
for
want
of
Meat
and
Forrage
,
and
by
a
great
Snow
that
then
fell
among
them
,
were
beaten
off
with
the
loss
of
5
or
600
Men
,
one
Morter
,
and
3
Field-peices
:
whereupon
he
call'd
another
Council
,
and
ordered
14000
Men
more
forthwith
to
be
sent
to
reinforce
the
remainder
of
the
24000
that
went
before
;
and
on
the
first
of
April
,
sent
after
them
the
Duke
of
Berwick
,
and
the
two
French
Liutenant-Generals
,
Roos
and
Mamoon
;
and
the
Munday
following
,
about
8
in
the
Morning
,
set
out
from
Dublin
towards
the
North
himself
;
but
those
of
Coleraine
knowing
their
infussiciency
to
resist
so
powerful
a
Force
,
quitted
the
Town
,
and
got
some
for
London-Derry
,
some
for
Scotland
,
and
others
for
England
,
so
that
all
being
clear
,
there
was
nothing
to
hinder
their
Progress
to
London-Derry
,
where
being
arrived
,
the
late
King
sent
in
a
Letter
to
the
Governor
,
Col.
Lundee
(
who
before
they
left
Dublin
they
reported
to
be
their
own
Creature
)
to
require
him
peaceably
to
surrender
,
and
that
all
with
him
should
have
free
Pardon
and
Protection
,
and
not
be
molested
or
spoyl'd
of
any
thing
they
had
;
which
being
shown
to
the
Mayor
,
Aldermen
,
and
other
Officers
,
some
inclin'd
to
surrender
,
others
not
,
so
that
time
was
desired
and
granted
to
consider
of
it
;
in
the
interim
Col.
Richards
and
Col.
Cunningham
,
with
their
Regiments
,
arrived
before
the
place
,
and
being
inform'd
that
it
was
upon
surrendering
to
King
James
,
returned
back
(
with
14
or
1500
persons
that
fled
from
the
Town
to
them
,
intending
for
Leverpool
)
for
which
both
the
Colonels
were
turn'd
out
of
Commission
,
yet
their
Regiments
,
with
three
others
,
were
forthwith
ordered
back
;
and
it
s
hoped
have
since
entred
the
place
,
which
is
in
a
good
Condition
for
Defence
,
and
therein
20000
Men
,
but
not
above
9000
Arm'd
,
with
Provision
for
three
months
,
resolved
to
defend
it
to
the
last
,
having
before
their
arrival
,
committed
the
Governor
,
and
several
others
to
Prison
,
on
pretence
for
endeavouring
to
betray
it
to
their
Enemies
,
and
made
Mr.
Walker
(
a
Minister
)
their
Governour
.
The
late
King
perceiving
his
Presence
could
not
procure
this
Important
Place
at
the
easy
rate
he
expected
,
was
forced
to
wave
his
speedy
Design
for
Scotland
,
and
leaving
his
Army
to
prosecute
the
most
convenient
measures
for
its
Recovery
,
returned
back
towards
Dublin
,
to
meet
his
Parliament
,
where
he
was
expected
the
last
of
April
,
and
where
upon
his
first
arrival
,
he
gave
orders
to
disband
Col.
Russell
,
Sir
Thomas
Newcome
,
and
such
others
Protestants
as
till
then
continued
in
that
Army
,
except
Drums
and
Trumpets
,
who
are
still
continued
per
force
.
There
came
with
the
late
King
to
Kingsale
22
Ships
,
great
and
small
,
all
with
Guns
,
of
which
12
were
Capital
Ships
,
and
with
them
4
Fireships
,
and
in
them
not
above
50
persons
of
all
sorts
,
of
which
were
the
Kings
two
Sons
,
the
Bishop
of
Chester
,
Lord
Powis
,
Lord
Melfort
,
Col.
Darrington
,
Sarsfeild
,
9
or
10
French-men
,
1
Footman
,
and
other
Scoundrels
that
followed
him
from
France
.
That
day
week
after
his
Arrival
,
and
before
he
left
Cork
,
the
late
King
gave
orders
for
the
Fleet
to
return
to
Brest
,
to
joyn
a
Fleet
of
13
Sail
more
which
they
left
fitting
out
there
,
and
expected
to
bring
them
5
or
6000
English
,
Scots
,
and
Irish
,
raised
in
France
for
that
purpose
,
but
not
yet
come
.
He
brought
with
him
a
considerable
quantity
of
Powder
,
Ball
,
and
Lead
,
and
Arms
for
15000
Men
,
and
120000l
.
Sterling
,
and
nothing
more
,
all
which
is
said
to
be
disposed
of
by
one
sent
with
him
by
the
French
King
,
and
who
hath
promised
four
Times
as
much
more
if
that
be
well
imployed
.
The
giving
Ireland
to
the
French
is
not
certain
,
but
most
sure
that
it
is
the
Interest
of
France
to
give
King
James
all
the
Assistance
he
can
,
both
by
Sea
and
Land
,
to
keep
England
out
of
his
own
Bowels
,
which
without
that
Diversion
he
expects
forthwith
to
make
a
violent
Eruption
therein
;
and
as
certain
,
that
if
any
reasonable
Force
be
in
reasonable
Time
sent
for
Ireland
,
its
conquest
will
be
both
speedy
and
easy
;
for
tho
the
Irish
Forces
are
with
much
pains
and
beating
reasonably
disciplin'd
,
and
numerous
,
yet
all
that
know
the
nature
of
them
,
know
they
will
not
sight
but
upon
great
Advantage
;
and
if
once
broken
,
all
the
Art
of
Man
will
never
bring
them
together
again
:
And
those
of
their
present
Army
,
both
Officers
and
Souldiers
,
are
mostly
the
very
scum
of
the
Country
,
Cow-boys
,
and
such
trash
,
as
tremble
at
the
fireing
a
Musquet
,
much
more
will
at
many
;
and
what
one
English
Man
used
formerly
to
make
nothing
to
beat
9
or
10
of
,
and
now
are
only
like
so
many
tied
Dogs
let
loose
,
which
with
a
little
Correction
,
will
soon
be
reduced
to
Obedience
.
There
are
Protestants
enow
yet
in
Ireland
to
do
the
Work
alone
,
if
they
could
but
get
together
,
have
Arms
,
and
good
Officers
to
head
them
,
and
will
,
as
fast
as
even
they
can
,
join
with
the
Army
that
comes
to
their
relief
,
to
be
revenged
upon
the
devouring
Irish
,
who
having
now
all
,
will
be
rich
plunder
for
an
Army
,
and
cannot
hold
out
against
30000
Men
,
besides
what
is
already
there
,
till
Michalmass
next
,
though
now
possest
of
the
whole
,
except
London-Derry
and
Inneskillen
▪
in
Dublin
there
is
not
now
above
16
or
17
hundred
Souldiers
,
and
yet
at
least
20000
Protestants
,
fighting
Men
,
but
all
disarm'd
,
or
as
good
as
disarm'd
,
brave
brisk
curious
Lads
,
mad
to
be
at
work
:
So
that
4
or
5000
Men
might
take
and
secure
that
City
and
Province
,
and
be
in
one
Month
20000
Men
,
if
Arms
and
Ammunition
were
sent
with
them
,
in
spight
of
any
resistance
the
Irish
could
make
.
Among
the
Irish
,
the
most
mischievous
Person
is
the
Lord
Galmoy
,
who
,
upon
the
late
King
's
coming
to
the
Throne
,
presum'd
to
enter
in
time
of
Divine
Service
,
St.
Warborous
Church
in
Dublin
,
and
debauchedly
offered
Abuses
to
some
modest
Women
,
for
which
he
was
brought
upon
his
Knees
:
But
in
Revenge
,
upon
the
first
motion
to
the
North
,
he
haug'd
one
Dix
,
and
another
who
belonged
to
the
Colledg
,
upon
a
Sign-post
,
pretending
he
found
them
in
Arms.
Of
Turn-coats
,
there
were
many
pittiful
mean-spirited
Fellows
,
to
keep
and
creep
into
Business
,
none
worth
noting
,
but
one
Marby
Dean
of
London
derry
,
a
Papist
born
,
but
brought
up
in
the
Colledg
of
Dublin
:
and
one
Turner
,
who
in
his
Time
had
turn'd
through
almost
all
Sects
and
Opinions
;
and
for
his
last
turning
got
to
be
Recorder
of
Limerick
.
However
the
Popish
Clergy
have
not
been
wanting
,
by
all
manner
of
ways
,
to
pervert
whoever
they
could
,
nor
the
Protestant
Ministers
to
preach
against
their
Heresy
and
Idolatry
;
among
the
rest
,
one
Wilkinson
,
Minister
of
Palmers
.
Town
near
Dublin
,
in
Christ-Church
,
briskly
decrying
their
Idolatry
,
was
by
the
Bishop
of
Dublin
silenc'd
in
the
midst
of
his
Sermon
.
Many
Persons
endeavouring
to
bring
Mony
for
England
,
had
it
seiz'd
by
the
Irish
;
and
among
others
one
Lindon
,
who
all
along
sate
with
two
Papists
,
second
Judg
of
the
King's
Bench
,
to
try
several
Protestants
,
and
punish
them
too
for
no
other
Crime
,
out
being
Enemies
to
Popery
;
and
particularly
one
Whalley
,
there
famous
for
Astrology
,
for
publishing
and
spreading
an
Account
of
the
Prince
of
Orange's
Landing
in
England
,
his
Declaration
,
and
Success
,
was
,
by
their
worshipful
Lordships
,
singled
out
,
and
made
the
first
publick
Sacrifice
by
their
Popish
Mercy
,
for
his
Zeal
to
the
Protestant
Religion
,
to
the
extream
hazard
of
his
Life
,
and
loss
of
all
he
had
(
tho
often
craved
)
denying
him
the
common
Rules
of
Court
,
a
Copy
of
the
Indictment
,
and
what
else
might
enable
him
to
make
his
proper
Defence
:
Another
proved
to
be
Distracted
,
fined
14l
.
Sterling
;
and
others
for
like
Crimes
,
like
Cases
.
But
whether
for
these
,
or
other
good
Service
to
be
done
here
for
his
Friends
there
,
the
good
Judg
got
his
Monies
again
,
while
others
came
off
with
loss
of
theirs
:
But
what
says
Pluck
?
About
three
or
four
days
after
King
James
Arrived
at
Dublin
,
the
few
Fellows
and
others
left
in
the
Colledg
,
waited
upon
him
,

introduced
by

Bp
of

dead
,
(
said
to

poison'd
by

A
LETTER
from
a
Lieutenant
in
the
late
King
James's
Army
in
Ireland
,
to
the
Author
of
Ireland's
Lamentation
.
Dated
at
Dublin
,
May
the
7th
,
1689.
SIR
,
HAving
this
Opportunity
of
a
Friend
of
both
yours
and
mine
coming
to
Chester
,
I
thought
fit
not
to
omit
giving
you
this
brief
Account
of
what
has
happened
here
since
your
departure
:
Which
is
,
that
before
the
Duke
of
Berwick
got
to
Colerain
,
it
was
quietly
quitted
by
the
Protestants
;
who
no
sooner
found
themselves
attaqued
on
all
sides
,
but
most
of
the
Men
stole
away
by
Night
,
some
one
way
,
and
some
another
,
and
left
their
Wives
,
Children
,
and
Effects
,
to
the
discretion
of
our
Army
;
who
by
the
care
of
their
Officers
,
proved
more
kind
and
civil
to
them
than
their
own
People
,
who
running
away
,
pull'd
down
the
Bridg
to
hinder
their
being
pursued
:
However
,
that
Defect
was
soon
repair'd
,
and
our
Forces
having
nothing
more
to
hinder
them
,
marched
directly
for
London-derry
,
and
upon
the
King
's
coming
up
,
sate
down
before
it
,
on
the
19th
of
the
last
Month
;
and
thereupon
the
King
sent
John
Burton
(
a
Protestant
)
one
of
the
Trumpeters
attending
the
State
here
,
to
Summon
the
Town
to
Surrender
,
with
assurance
of
Pardon
from
the
King
;
and
to
let
them
know
he
was
there
in
Person
,
to
sign
and
perform
whatever
was
promised
them
.
Whereupon
the
Town
returned
Answer
,
That
they
had
sworn
Allegiance
to
,
and
kept
the
Town
for
King
William
and
Queen
Mary
,
and
neither
owned
,
knew
,
or
would
obey
any
other
;
and
that
if
any
more
such
Messengers
came
thither
,
to
frighten
and
terrify
their
People
from
their
Allegiance
,
they
would
hang
or
shoot
them
:
However
the
King
had
such
Interest
within
the
place
,
as
to
keep
out
two
Regiments
sent
thither
from
England
:
But
seeing
they
refused
to
submit
,
ordered
Batteries
to
be
raised
,
and
his
Canon
and
Bombs
to
be
plaid
at
the
Town
;
and
though
much
Mischief
is
done
by
the
Bombs
,
yet
the
new
preaching
Governor
(
viz.
the
Minister
,
Mr.
Walker
)
continues
obstinate
,
and
in
two
or
three
brisk
Sallies
,
killed
about
4
or
5000
of
our
Common
Souldiers
,
the
French
General
Mamou
,
one
Major
,
five
Captains
,
and
several
other
Inferior
Officers
,
and
wounded
the
Duke
of
Berwick
in
the
Thigh
;
Colonel
Sheldon
,
and
some
others
,
are
said
to
be
mortally
wounded
,
but
not
without
considerable
loss
on
their
side
also
.
In
the
mean
time
another
Party
of
our
Men
,
commanded
by
Lieut.
Gen.
Hamilton
,
took
the
Castle
of
Kilmore
;
which
will
so
cut
off
all
hopes
of
Succour
,
that
it
's
hoped
Derry
will
also
Surrender
,
and
receive
Mercy
,
for
otherwise
it
's
resolved
to
put
all
to
the
Sword.
The
King
finding
them
obstinate
,
return'd
to
Dublin
the
29th
of
April
,
and
this
day
met
the
Parliament
,
where
he
made
a
short
,
but
pithy
Speech
,
setting
forth
how
much
they
were
obliged
,
first
to
God
,
and
next
to
the
King
of
France
,
for
contributing
to
that
their
happy
Meeting
;
and
hoped
they
would
not
be
wanting
on
their
parts
,
forthwith
to
consider
of
all
convenient
Measures
to
unite
the
Hearts
of
all
his
good
Subjects
of
this
Kingdom
,
resist
the
intended
Invasion
from
England
,
and
recover
his
Dominions
,
for
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
Ease
of
his
Subjects
both
in
Church
and
State.
Sir
Richard
Neagle
,
the
Attorney
General
,
is
chosen
Speaker
of
the
House
of
Commons
,
who
made
a
Speech
to
the
House
,
telling
them
how
much
they
were
obliged
to
the
French
King
,
and
the
Duke
of
Tyrconnel
,
for
that
glorious
Meeting
,
and
how
meet
it
was
to
return
both
their
Thanks
.
The
Speeches
will
be
printed
,
with
a
List
of
the
Parliament
,
till
then
I
cannot
be
certain
of
the
Particulars
of
either
,
but
believe
there
are
not
many
Protestants
among
them
.
It
's
hoped
that
the
King
will
consent
to
take
off
Poynings
Acts
,
dissolve
the
Act
of
Settlement
,
and
restore
the
ancient
Proprietors
to
their
Estates
:
But
others
are
of
Opinion
,
an
Irish
Parliament
cannot
do
it
without
the
Advice
of
England
;
and
that
the
Sessions
will
be
soon
Prorogued
to
prevent
such
Disputes
,
till
the
King
hath
got
into
England
,
which
we
here
seem
to
promise
our selves
about
the
beginning
of
June
,
but
cannot
attempt
it
before
for
want
of
Forrage
and
Shipping
,
which
are
coming
from
France
to
waft
them
over
;
in
the
mean
time
there
is
5000
foot
ordered
forthwith
for
Scotland
,
to
keep
the
Highlanders
,
and
others
the
King's
Friends
there
,
from
fainting
,
till
more
can
be
sent
them
.
We
conclude
,
we
can
spare
a
formidable
Army
of
Horse
and
Foot
for
England
,
and
the
like
for
Scotland
;
who
with
greater
Supplies
we
expect
at
the
same
time
to
land
in
England
from
France
,
and
the
King's
Friends
yet
in
England
,
who
want
only
our
presence
to
join
with
us
,
will
,
with
the
loss
of
as
little
Blood
as
he
lost
them
,
recover
those
his
Kingdoms
again
.
We
have
(
as
we
hear
)
sent
you
home
Herbert
by
weeping
Cross
to
resit
his
Shipping
.
We
received
into
this
Kingdom
,
since
you
left
it
,
5
or
6
Regiments
of
English
,
Scots
,
and
Irish
Souldiers
from
France
;
250000l
.
Sterling
;
Arms
for
20000
Men
,
300
Barrels
of
Powder
,
several
Mortars
,
and
a
great
quantity
of
Ball
and
Lead
;
36
Sail
of
Men
of
War
,
8
Fire-Ships
,
&
several
Tenders
,
and
daily
expect
as
many
more
,
in
all
a
Fleet
of
near
50
Sail
;
and
doubt
not
but
before
Herbert
return
,
to
have
sufficient
to
send
him
and
the
Dutch
as
fast
back
as
they
come
to
us
.
There
has
none
of
the
Persons
that
were
Condemned
when
you
went
hence
,
yet
suffered
;
but
the
King
declares
,
if
he
have
not
speedy
Exchanges
for
them
,
he
will
not
spare
one
of
them
,
or
any
other
that
shall
be
found
guilty
of
the
like
Crimes
;
and
if
so
,
most
of
the
Protestants
in
the
Kingdom
will
go
to
pot
;
for
there
are
but
few
,
if
duly
examined
,
but
will
be
by
our
Judges
brought
under
the
same
Preliminaries
.
There
are
some
to
be
tried
now
at
the
King's
Bench
this
Term
,
and
it
's
thought
Mr.
Price
the
late
Treasurer
,
and
his
six
Companions
,
will
be
of
the
Number
,
unless
some
Exchanges
come
suddenly
for
them
.
There
are
Indictments
already
drawn
up
for
them
,
or
rather
to
be
preferr'd
against
them
.
Some
few
People
have
had
their
Houses
rifled
,
and
among
the
rest
yours
,
but
not
by
Authority
,
tho
the
King
have
declared
,
That
all
such
as
are
not
returned
,
shall
forthwith
have
all
their
Effects
seiz'd
and
converted
toward
maintaining
his
Army
,
and
such
as
fled
hither
from
England
:
However
great
care
is
taken
for
civilizing
our
Army
,
but
cannot
make
them
quite
forsake
their
old
Trade
;
some
Injuries
are
here
and
there
still
continued
,
but
not
so
frequently
as
formerly
,
the
King
having
declared
his
Resolution
severely
to
punish
all
Offenders
of
that
kind
;
and
on
Saturday
last
,
several
that
belonged
to
the
Army
were
Indicted
for
Robberies
committed
upon
Protestants
,
but
a
good
Jury
will
easily
acquit
them
.
I
have
great
hopes
to
retrieve
some
of
your
Losses
again
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
in
case
you
will
return
,
absolute
Assurance
of
a
Pardon
,
and
a
Captain
's
Commission
,
and
this
from
no
less
than
the
Ld
Melfort
and
Bp
of
Clagher
,
Secretaries
of
State
;
and
therefore
considering
how
Things
seem
now
to
us
,
if
worthy
,
would
advise
you
not
to
neglect
the
Opportunity
thus
offered
you
;
for
in
our
sense
here
,
we
seem
to
promise
our selves
all
we
can
desire
,
and
if
it
please
God
we
succeed
,
it
will
be
too
late
for
either
you
or
others
to
comply
otherwise
than
to
your
Ruin.
All
Friends
here
are
well
,
and
many
presents
their
Cordial
Respects
,
as
doth
he
that
was
,
and
ever
is
