WE the Protestant Nobility and Gen­try of Munster, Assembled toge­ther, have well Considered the Violations that have been on the Laws of this Kingdom, since his Majesty's Accession to the Crown, contrary to his several Declarations and Promises, for the Preservation and due Execution of them, the Innovations and almost Subversion of the Protestant Re­ligion, by means of the Countenance that hath been given the Priests, Friars and Jesuits; both which, with [...]he Menaces of the Popish Party, to lay this Kingdom [...]n Ashes, in case any Army should Land here from En­ [...]land, hath endangered the loss of our Religion, Laws, Lives, Liberties and Properties: For the perservation of which, and prevention of this Kingdoms utter Depopula­ [...]ion and Ruine, which must inevitably follow the many Thefts and Outrages committed by the Popish Forces of [...]his Kingdom, who have no other Support than the [...]lunder and Rapine of the Protestants, whom they [...]hreaten to Extirpate in opposition and contrary to the [...]aws of God, of Nations, of Nature, and the known [Page 2]Laws of the Land, we have unanimously Resolved, not only the Preservation of our selves, our Religion, Laws, Lives and Liberties, by Repelling Force with Force, but also of all Persons, of what Degrees soever, beha­ving themselves with Moderation amongst us. And for the better securing our selves and such from the mischievous Designs and Contrivances of our Enemies, we have, and do hereby mutually oblige all and every of us, each to other, That we will, to the utmost of our Power, stand by each other in the Suppression of all that shall molest us, or any, or either of us in our Religion, Laws, Lives, Liberties and Properties. And as we are Resolved to give Obedience to the established and known Laws of the Land, so we will expect an Observation of them in others, and molest none that molest not us in this so just Undertaking: As we are ready to Adhere with all the Protestants of this Kingdom, so we doubt not of their Concurrance and just Compliance with us in these out necessary Resolutions. And we farther declare, That if the Roman Catholicks of this Kingdom do Attempt to put their, Threats in Execution, we will immediately put our selves into Arms, and submit our selves to the Conduct and Command of the Right Honourable William Earl o [...] Inchiquin, and the Honourable Henry Boyll, Esq; or either of them, as they, or either of them, shall think fit.
