In that all Cloths, Linnen and Woollen, Stockings, Shoes, Boots, Horſes, Saddles, Arms, Ammunition, Tents, Bread, Cheeſe, and other eating Proviſions, were ſent from England, and the Price thereof deducted from the weekly Pay of the Army, and not brought to Account, and ſo eſtimated as above   3509396 17   The Charges of the Armies in the ſeveral Provinces of Ireland, from the 23d of October 1641, the time the Rebellion broke out, to the 6th of July 1649, from whence the Accounts is ſtated, as above, being about 7 Years and 9 Months, when no regular Accounts were or could be kept, by reaſon of the Confuſion in which the kingdom was by the Rebellion, there may be by probable Eſtimate added, without any Allowance, for Proviſion of all ſorts after the Rate of what was paid the Army after the 6th of July 1649, when Proviſions were deducted   3760068     The Loſs of Rents for 14 Years, from October 1641 until the Year 1655, reckoning the Land but at 12 d. an Acre yearly, is 7608264 l. 6 s. and reckoning all the Corporations, Houſes and Tythes, but at a Moiety thereof, comes to   11412396 9  

Beſides the Loſs by the Devaſtation of Houſes, Orchards, Gardens, Improvements, Houſhold-ſtuff, Corn, Cattel, and the impairing the value of Land unto that time, not to be eſtimated, but in reaſon to be accounted, as much as before is computed for all others Charges, Loſſes and Expences, if not much more, the ſame extending to the whole kingdom.

  Acres Acres Leinſter 2603520 10868949 Munſter 3255874 Ʋlſter 2777875 Connaght 2231680

The which Lands are divided and diſtributed, as by the Surveys and Records of the Records of the Court of Claims will appear, as followeth:

To the Porteſtants, and others, that proved their conſtant good affection, including the Bogs, Loughs and Mountains in Ireland,   6110292 10868949 To Adventures 396054 2717549 To the Officers and Souldiers 1442839 To the Officers that ſerved his Majeſty againſt the Rebels in Ireland, before the Year 1649 278041 To his Royal Highneſs the Duke of York, as Regicides Lands 111015 To Proteſtants, on Proviſoes by the Acts of Settlement and Explanation 383975 To the Biſhops for their Augmentations, of which ſome have poſſeſſion 118041 Reſerved to His Majeſty as un-diſpoſed, upon the account of Lewis Dyke and Thomas Conyngham, being ſet out on fraudulent Adventures 14006 Left of courſe Lands un-diſpoſed, the Title to the greateſt part whereof was doubtful 73578 Reſtored unto the Iriſh upon Decrees of Innocency 965270 2041108 Reſtored to them by ſpecial Proviſoes in the Acts of Settlement and Explanation 408083 Set out upon their Tranſplantations of Connaght and Clare, over and above what is confirmed to Engliſh Proteſtants, who purchaſed Intereſts there from the Iriſh 667755

So that the Iriſh, notwithſtanding the Rebellion, and their great complaints of loſing all their Lands, are reſtored unto, and poſſeſſed of, almoſt one half of all the Lands formerly accounted forfeited by the Rebellion. Beſides, that the 2717549 Acres granted to the Engliſh, hath coſt as before (beſides the loſs of Hundreds of thouſands of Men murthered by, and killed in ſubduing the ſaid Rebels) the ſum of 22191258 l. 3 s. 0 ½ d. And accounting the ſaid 2717549 Acres to be worth 12 d. per Acre, one Acre with the other yearly, they will come to 135876 l. 9 s. which for the Purchaſe thereof, at 10 years Purchaſe comes to 1358764 l. 10 s. After which Rate the Lands, granted to the Engliſh and Proteſtants are not the 15th part of what the Money expended in ſubduing the ſaid Rebellion would have bought, accounting the Devaſtations and loſs of many Thouſands of Mens Lives for nothing.
