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

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.

LONDON, Printed for JOHN THOMAS. 1641.
THE Bloody Proceedings of the Iriſh Rebels, related in a Letter, dated at Dublin the 27. of Octob. 1641.

THere was on Friday laſt a cruell plot of Treaſon diſcovered, as great as the Gun-powder Treaſon, my Lord Matquers, and divers others taken and impriſoned in the Caſtle of Dublin, my Lord Lenricole came to this Town on Munday night, and is ſuſpected, he is privately layd for, They plotted to ſurpriſe the Caſtle of Dublin on Sunday laſt in the evening at Prayer time; and to have killed the Warders and poſſeſſed themſelves of the Kings ſtore, and then to have maſtered the Engliſh, but God prevented their bloody intentions, the Rebels have done much hurt in the North parts of Ireland, they have burned Armagh, Longnall, the Neuery, and ſeeke to make away my Lord Marre, but he eſcaped them to Tredath, they have burned Dundalke, they Maſſacre the Engliſh in thoſe parts, men, women, and children, my Lord Blaney fled to this Towne, but they have taken his Caſtles and all that belong to him, with his Lady and children, this City is all up in Armes, and all from 16. to 60. are warned to be in readineſſe, there was two Merchants in Chriſts Church-yard killed by the Rebels, laſt Munday Mr. Champion and Mr. Hayward. I heare to day that the Lord Burlaſſes Troope will bring twelve of the Rebels that they have taken, The Neuery is taken and Dundalke is beaten downe, they have lately killed one Mr. Iremonger, Attorney of the Kings Bench, Belterbat is taken for certaine, all being inhabited with Engliſh, they yeelded upon compoſition, the Rebels are 5000 ſtrong, whereof 2000 are armed with the Armes they tooke forth of the Nevery.

A True and perfect Relation how this bloody and damnable Conſpiracy was firſt diſcovered.

THe Execution of their bloody Tragedy intended againſt the Proteſtants, both in Dublin, and other parts of the Kingdome, ſhould have bin on Saturday, but by Gods great mercy & goodneſſe, their Helliſh and damnable intention was brought to light, being diſcovered on Friday night, by Sir John Clotworthies man, on Sunday after there was a great confuſion in the City, where was joy mixt with ſorrow, for our happy deliverance, yet were we much perplexed & troubled with the feares and terrors of our approaching Enemies, expecting every moment, when the City ſhould be ſurpriſed and taken, ſuch is the greatneſſe of our feares, that wee take no reſt neither day nor night, theſe diſloyall and wicked Rebels, have taken two Caſtles in the North parts of this Kingdome, beſides two other Towns of great ſtrength with much munition in it, and it is thought they ſtill increaſe in great Multitudes, here is a Lord taken, and divers others of note, to the number of forty, all which are now in Priſon, the Lords name is Maguere, theſe Papiſts or Rebels call it a Religious Warre, Ruine and Deſolation they threaten to the poore Proteſtants, for they are ten to one, throughout this Kingdome, ſo that unleſſe the King and Parliament helpe and relieve us, we ſhall utterly be deſtroyed and roted out of the Land, GOD in his mercy looke upon us in theſe great ſtraights and extremities, and deliver us out of the hands of theſe viperous and blood-thirſty people, who is ſatisfied with nothing but blood, they increaſe daily, committing moſt bloody and wicked outrages, their firſt intention was to murder the two chiefe Iuſtices, & all the Privy Counſell that were Proteſtants, likewiſe to ſeaze upon all the Kings Ports, Caſtles, and Magazins whatſoever, and to murder all perſons that ſhould oppoſe them in their intentions and deſignes.

Theſe are their pretences for the taking up of Armes. 1. To have their Crowne not to be dependant upon England, nor to be a conquered nation. 2. To have their Iriſh Lawes eſtabliſhed, and ſuch as ſhould be made hereafter. 3 To have free liberty of the exerciſe of Religion.

The Lord Matquers is one of the chiefeſt amongſt theſe Trayterous Rebels, and their intention was this.

1. To murther the Engliſh and Proteſtants in the Kingdome of Ireland. 2. To murder the 2. Lords chiefe Juſtices, & Privy Councell at Dublin. 3. To ſeaze upon all the Kings, Caſtles, Forts, and Magazins throughout all the Kingdome of Ireland. 4. The City and Caſtle of Dublin, Firſt if they could get the Caſtle, they then would make the City yeeld preſently, by ſhooting from the Caſtle the tops of the chinneys to affright them, but if that prevailed not, they would batter downe their houſes about their eares, the Lord chiefe Juſtices and privy Councellors, ſate in Conſultation all night, for the ſafe-guard and ſecurity of the City, and Caſtle of Dublin, and the next morning they apprehended many of theſe Traytors, together with the Lord Matquers, who the day before, had forſaken his Lodgings, and hid himſelfe in a Garret, there were found at his Lodgings great ſtore of ſkaines, Hammers and Hatchets without halves, the ſame day newes was brought to Dublin, that ſeverall places and Forts was ſeized upon in conno, and monno, and in divers other places, many Villages plundered, whereupon 500 horſe and 500 foote were raiſed to guard the city. and 100 put into the Caſtle under the command of Sir Francis Willoughby, for the defence and ſafety of the Caſtle.

This Conſpiracy was firſt revealed to Sir John Burlacy, and other Juſtices of the Peace, by one who was ſervant to Sir John Clotworthy an Iriſh Knight, and a Parliament man.

It is reported that ſome of theſe Rebels confeſſed they were to have an Army of 7000 men from ſeverall parts of Ireland, which ſhould be all Papiſts and Jeſuites, and to ſurpriſe all the fortes and Caſtles about Dublin, and to cut the throates of the chiefeſt Noble-men, Gentry, and others of this Kingdome that then were preſent.

The City of Dublin and the Townes and Caſtles adjoyning is in very great danger, they are gathered to a ſtrong head, ſtill approaching neerer unto it, taking Townes and Caſtles in ſeverall Provinces where they fall, plundering all places they come into, the Murders and out-rages daily committed by them, is great and intolerable, the Tyrannicall power they exerciſe upon the poore Proteſtants, not to be parrallel'd, amongſt Pagans or Infidels, ſo farre doe theſe bloody Miſcreants degenerate from the name of Chriſtians; Thus much have I thought good to informe you of the miſerable eſtate and condition of this Kingdome at this preſent.

FINIS.
