Peer of this Realm that sate here in Parliament at the beginning thereof but now a notorious Rebell in Ireland Mr. Porter son to Endimion Porter who declared himselfe a Papist in Ireland Sir Bazill Brooke the Popish Treasurer for the moneys raised by the Queens sollicitation for the War against the Scots Mr. Andrew Brown a Lawyer of Lincolns-Inne heretofore expelled thence for being a knowne Papist with divers other dangerous English Papists went out of England into Ireland the Summer before the Rebellion brake forth and were very active there If these Circumstances preceding the Rebellion and divers other of the like nature be not enough of themselves to open the eyes of the world It hath pleased God to discover such subsequent evidence of this kind that may serve to convince the greatest unbeliever Therefore not repeating any of the proofs set forth in that Answer to His Majesties Message of the 13th of August 1642. but referring to the same herewith printed to which no Reply hath yet been made they think fit to adde to that evidence this which followes namely the generall profession of the Rebells in all parts of that Kingdome that the cause of their rising was to preserve His Majesty and the Queen from being opprest by the Puritan-Parliament and that it was by their consent That they knew well the best in England would Colonell Mervin's Examination See Folio 33.

AT my late being at Oxford finding the Lord Dillon and the Lord Taaffe in favour at Court I acquainted the Lord Faulkland His Majesties Secretary that there were two Lords about the King who to His Majesties great dishonour and the great discouragement of His good Subjects did make use of His Majesties Name to incourage the Rebells to make this appeare I informed that I had seen two Letters sent by the Lord Dillon and the Lord Taaffe to the Lord of Muskerie the chief man in Rebellion in Munster and one of the Irish Committee sent into England intimating that though it did not stand with the conveniency of His Maiesties Affaires to give him publique countenance yet that his Majesty was well pleased with what he did and would in time give him thankes for it or neer to that purpose That these Letters were seen by the Lord Inchiquine the chief Commander of the English Forces in Mounster and by his Secretary who had kept Copies of them and that I was ready to justifie as much Whereupon the Lo Faulkland was pleased to say that they deserved to be hanged But though I stayed there at Oxford about a week after this discovery made I never was called to any farther accompt nor any prejudice done to these two Lords but they had the same freedome in Court as before for ought I could observe or hear to the contrary Thus far in Mr. Jephsons owne language a man of knowne honour and integrity That since this discovery made to the Lord Faulkland by Mr. Jephson the same Lord Taaffe one Roche and William Brent a Lawyer active Papists with Letters from His Majesty went from Oxford to Dublin And upon Thursday before Whitsuntide 1643. in the Evening taking with them one Colonell Barry a protest Papist and pretending for Connaught slipt away to Kilkenny where the Tuesday following was a generall assembly of all the chief Rebels When they had done their Errand Barry was left Lieger at KILKENNY among the Rebels the Lord Taaffe returned to DUBLIN and upon Friday the 9. of June 1643. the Lord Taaffe with divers of the Privie-Councell of Ireland that favour the Rebels met at the Marquesse of Ormond's house where the Propositions which the Lord Taaffe brought from the Rebels were debated The Lord Taaffe is since gone into Cannaught Brent is come back to Oxford to give an accompt of this imployment By this which hath bin thus truely related every man may construe what was meant by His Majesties not consenting that the Parliament should send a Cōmittee into Ireland the last yeer to endeavour the carrying on the War against the Rebels upon pretence that the Earl of Liecester was presently to go over thither who is yet remaining at Oxford That when that Committee had prevailed with the Lords-Iustices and Councell and with many of the prime Commanders and other Officers of the Army in Leinster to subscribe by way of Adventure for Land in Ireland to be setled by a new Bill very considerable sums which were to be deducted out of their respective entertainments
