Members of that Nation and Kingdome and enemies unto that Religion And also that the Goods and Lands of those who would not joyne with them should be given unto him or t●●m of that House or Family who would accept thereof aud joyne with them And also that untill his comming and untill they were better furnished with Armes they should not give the Kings Army and me●ting in the day time but should set upon them in their Quarters by night when they were wearied by marchi●g abroad in the Country or upon other occasions And another of this Examinants Instructions was to perswade them by all meanes that they should not mistrust or doubt of his comming for he would be with them ere long and that he had taken a great Oath that if he could not obtaine leave Note Munition and Armes from the Generall yet if all failed he would adventure him and his whole estate in that service and that if he lived he would assuredly be with them within ten weekes and would bring with him Miners Canons and Cannoneers and such other instruments as should be necessary for them And that he did wonder although there were no Miners there that his Country-men did not imploy and set on worke such persons as digged for Iron Mine or Coales And further that the Lords and Commanders of the Catholique League in Ireland should send one Patrick Heggartie a Fryer Note who had spent much time in Scotland to solicite for them there And to put the Scots in mind that they were for the most part discended from the Irish and that the Irish never drew any of their bloud And therefore that they should not offer the Irish any injury But keepe themselves quiet in their owne Country not helping the one part or the other Another of this Examinants Instructions was to perswade the Lords and great Commanders of the League that they should hold firme Note and not be deceived by the faire promises of the English or of the State in Ireland as Tirone and Tircunnell were who after they had submitted were forced to fly the Kingdome and many others beheaded and others restrained in the Tower of London untill they there dyed and lost their Lands and that they should not doubt of succour And further saith that he was directed by his said Colonel to impart these Instructions and Message unto such Lords Commanders and Gentlemen in Ireland as the said Sir Phelim O Neale Conn O Neale Brian O Neale and Hugh Birn● should direct and advise him unto And that at his departure from his said Colonell he the said Col. called for a Glasse of Wine and dranke the health of the said Captaine Hugh Mac Phelim Birne who he said was desigred Governour of the Fort of Duncannon in the County of Wexford And this Examinant further saith that he being directed with a Letter in December last from his Col. unto one Brian Birfield a Fryer and resident at Dunkirke for the helping of him this Examinant that he the said Fryer would make a Iourney forthwith unto Col. Owen O Neale and from him unto Col. Preston to labour the joyning together of the said Colonells to goe into Ireland to further with all the force and aide they could make the prosecution of the present warre there And further saith that in his this Examinants Voyage from Ireland he with a Fryer in his company was landed at Dover before Christmas last Note where they the said parties remained for three weekes no examination or notice being taken of them there And from thence the ship being bound for the Port of Waterford the same landed him this Examinant and the Fryer at the Port of Youghall about the beginning of Ianuary last where they were brought before the Earl of Cork and by his Lordship sent by sea unto the City of Dublin And further this Examinant saith he conceived that the said Col. Owen may be easily surprised in his passage for Ireland if he be laid for with good advisement The said Owen purposing to come with his Men Munition and Armes unto Bergam within a mile of Dunkirke which place he intends to gaine for his Garrison and to carry in Lighters the said Armes Munition and Men as secretly as he may by night unto the Ship at Dunkirke without shewing himselfe there And his pretence will be that he is imployed into Spaine And the said Col. purposeth to bring with him all the Irish Mariners which may be had about Dunkirke Note where there are store and in speciall one Captaine Donnell a sea Captaine and so to come for Ireland either by Dover or if he see cause by the North of Scotland And this Examinant further saith that he this Examinant durst not refuse to go into Ireland with the said message and instructions for fear of his said Mr. Collonell Owen O Neale well knowing of his severity But this Examinant intended to discover the same when he thought he safely might And he saith that he doth not know or hath heard of any other that was sent from his Collonell into Ireland of this message besides himself but beleeveth that some Messenger might be sent from Col Preston unto the Lords of the Pale and other Commanders in the Province of Lemster as well as he was sent by his Col unto Sir Phelim ô Neale and those of Vlster he also saith that the principall Commanders and Captaines of the Irish in Flanders are these whose Names are under written viz.

Examinations I did write and did see and hear the several examinants depose the same And I did see the said Castles on fire about the times aforesaid And further I say that I have heard sundry credible persons in Ireland relate that the Roman Catholiques in that Kingdome Note did brag and report that they did destroy 152000. Protestants in the province of Ulster in the beginning of this late Rebellion and the Examinations of sundry English and Scotch men protestants taken upon Oath at severall times by Sir William Cole a Iustice of Peace in the County of Fermanagh in Ireland doth particularly shew the number of 764 Protestants hanged kild burned and drowned in that County by the Rebells there in that Rebellion besides many that were cut off touching whom no evidence could appeare And it was averred upon the Oaths of Flartagh mac Hugh Iohn Oge mac Hugh and Terlagh Oge Mac Hugh before the said Sir William Cole that 150. men were appointed to surprise the Castle of Eniskillin under the leading of Don Magwire and Bryan Mac Rory Mac Gwire Note who were to murther the said Sir William Cole and his wi●e children and servants and throw them over the wall into the River and then to doe the like unto the Protestants in the Town and Corporation of Eniskillin for which service they were not only to have the spoyle and riches of the said Castle and Town but to have also the Barony of Clanawley granted and confirmed in Fee to them and their Heires from the said Lord Mac Gwire and his Heires And the said Don Mac Gwire was for the same taken in February or March last or there abouts by the said Sir William Cole to whom he confessed upon his Examination that he was to have surprised and taken the Castle and Town of Eniskillin the 23. of Octo. 1641. but denyed that he had any intent to kill the said Sir William or his wife or children wherefore the said Sir William did commit him to prison in his Majesties goal at Eniskillin about February or March 1643. where he remained the 18. of May 1644. when the said sir William and my self came on his Iourney hither into England and where I beleeve he yet continueth in safe custody and so will until he be brought to Iustice. Iohn Carmick The like was then attested by Sir William Cole Sir William Hamilton Sir Arthur Loftus Sir Charls Co●t and others upon oath at this Triall and that the Irish Rebels did rip up divers Irish wom●ns bellies great with childe and tosse their Infants upon their pikes and throw them to their dogs to eat ravished some to death buried others alive drowned others after quarter and used unheard of cruelties of sundry kindes without provocation And yet now they must be reputed the Kings good subjects and sent for over into England to commit the like cruelties on us here which should cause all English mens hearts and bloods to rise up for vengeance against such blood-sucking Villains The manner of the discovery of that Conspiracy and apprehension of some of the Conspirators who were to surprise Dublin last is thus expressed by the Lords Iustices of Ireland in a Letter to the Earl of Leicester then Lord Deputy extracted out of the Originall The Lords Iustices of Irelands Letters to the Earl of Leicester c. Octob. 1641. MAy it please your Lordship On Friday the 22. of this Moneth after nine of the clock at night this bearer Owen Connelly servant to Sir Iohn Clotworthy Kt came to me the Lord Iustice Parsons to my house and in great secrecy as indeed the case did require discovered unto me a most wicked damnable Conspiracy plotted and contrived and intended to be also acted by some evill-affected Irish Papists here The Plot was on the next morning Saturday the 23. of Octob. being Ignatius day about nine of the clock to surprise his Majesties Castle of Dublin his Majesties chiefe strength of this Kingdom wherein also is the principall Magazine of his Majesties Armes and Ammunition and it was agreed it seemes amongst them that the same houre all other his Majesties Forts and Magazins of Armes and Ammunition in this Kingdome should be surprised by others of those Conspirators and further Note that all the Protestants and English throughour the whole Kingdom that would not joyn with them should be cut off and so those Papists should then become possessed of the government and Kingdom at thesame instant As soone as I had that Intelligence I then immediatly repaired to the Lord Iustices Palace and thereupon we instantly Assembled the Councell and having sate in Councell all that night as also all the next day the 23. of October in regard of the short time left us for the consultation of so great and waighty a matter although it was not possible for us upon so few houres warning to prevent those other great mischiefes which were to be acted even at that same houre and at so great a distance as in all the other parts of the Kingdome yet such was our industry therein having that night caused the Castle to be that night strengthned with armed men and the City guarded as the united councells of those evill persons by the great mercy of God to us became defeated so as they were not able to Act that part of their Treachery which indeed was principall and which if they could have effected would have ended the rest of their purposes the more easie Having so secured the Castle we forth-with laid about for the apprehension of as many of the offenders as we could many of them having come to this City but that night intending it seemes the next morning to Act their parts in those treacherous and bloudy crimes The first man apprehended was one Hugh Mac Mahone Esquire Grand-so●n to the Traytor Tirone a Gentleman of a good fortune in the County of Monoghan who with others was taken that morning in Dublin having at the time of their apprehension offered a little resistance with their swords drawn but finding those we imployed against them more in number and better armed yeilded He upon his Examination before us at first denyed all but in the end when he saw we laid it home to him he confessed enough to destroy himself and impeach some others as by a Copy of his Examination herewith sent may appeare to your Lordship We then committed him untill we might have further time to examine him againe our time being become more needfull to be imployed in Action for securing this place then in examining This Mac Mahon had been abroad and served the King of Spaine as a Lieutenant Colonell Upon conference with him and others and calling to mind a Letter we received the weeke before from sir William Cole a Copy whereof we send your Lordship here inclosed we gathered that the Lord Magwire was to be an Actor in surprising the Castle of Dublin wherefore we held it necessary to
