A PROCLAMATION OF THE LORDS IVstices for the apprehension of the chiefe Rebels AND THE REVVARD FOR TAKING ANY OF THEM WITH The true and last Newes from Ireland and in what state Dublin stands at this present Sent from an Honourable and one of the chiefest persons there to a Nephew of his in London LONDON Printed for Henry Shepheard and are to be sold at the Signe of the Bible in Chancery-Lane 1641. By the Lords Iustices and Councell W. Parsons Jo. Borlase 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 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 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 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
