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 inexcu­sable [Page 2]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, [Page 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 themselves [Page 4]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, the [Page 5]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 favours [Page 6]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 alias [Page 7]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.

Imprinted at Dublin. 1641.

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; all [Page 14]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.
