The Marquesse of Ormonds Letter to Colonell Jones SIR I Have not thus long forborn to invite you with those under your command to a submission to his Majesties authority in me and a conjunction with me in the waies of his service out of any the least aversion I had to you or any of them or out of any disesteem of your power to advance or impede the same but out of my fear that whilest those that have of late usurped power over the Subjects of England held forth the least tolerable shadow of moderation in their intentions towards the settlement of the Church and State and that in some tolerable way with relation to Religion the interest of the King and Crown the freedome of Parliaments and the Liberty of the. Subjects any addresse from me proposing the withdrawing of that party from those this professing from whom they had received some and expected further support would have been but coldly received and any determination thereupon deferred in hope and expectation of the fore-mentioned settlement or that if your self who certainly have not wanted a foresight of the sad confusion now covering the face of England would have declared with me the Lord Inchiquin and the Protestant Army in Munster in prevention thereof yet my fear was it would have been as difficult for you to have carried with you the main body of the Army under your Command not so clear-fighted as your self as it would have been dangerous to you and those with you wel inclined to have attempted it without them But now that the mask of Hipocrisie by which the Independent Army hath ensnared and enslaved all estates and degrees of men is laid aside now that bare-faced they evidently appear to be the subverters of true Religion and the protectors and invitors of all false ones but even of Irreligion and Atheisme Now that they have barbarously and inhumanoly laid violent sacrilegious hands upon and murthered Gods anointed and our King not as heretofore some patricides have done to make room for some usurper but in a way plainly manifesting their intention is to change the Monarchy of England into Anarchy unlesse their aim be first to constitute an elective Kingdome and Crumwell or some such John of Leydon being elected then by the same force by which they have thus far compassed their end to establish a perfect Turkish tyranny Now that of the three Estates of King Lords and Commons whereof in all ages Parliaments have consisted there remains only a small number and they the dregs and scum of the house of Commons packt and awed by the Army a wicked remnant left for no other end then yet further if it be possible to delude the people with the name of Parliament The King being murthered and the Lords and the rest of the Commons being by unheard of violence at severall times forced from the Houses and some imprisoned and now that there remaines no liberty in the Subject but to professe blasphemous opinions to revile and tread under foot Magistracy to murther Magistrates and to oppresse and undo all that are not like minded with them now I say I cannot doubt but that you and all that are with or under you will take this opoitunity to declare and act against so monstrous and unparallell'd Rebellion and that you and they will cheerfully acknowledge and faithfully serve and obey our gracious King Charls the second undoubted Heire of his Fathers Crownes and Vertues under whose Right and Conduct we may by Gods blessing restore Protestant Religion to purity and therein settle it Parliaments to freedome good Lawes to their force and our fellow-Subjects to their just Liberty wherein how blessed and glorious a thing it will be to be so considerably instrumencall as you may now make your self I leave to you to consider And though I conceive there are not any motives relating to particular interest to be mentioned after these so weighty considerations which are such as the world hath not been at any time furnished with yet I hold it my part to assure you that as there is nothing you can reasonably propose for the safety satisfaction or advantage of your self or of any that shall adhere to you in what I desire that I shall not to the uttermost of my power provide for so there is nothing I would or shall more industriously avoid then those necessities arising from my duty to God and Man that may by your rejecting this offer force mee to be a sad instrument of shedding English blood which in such case must on both sides happen If this ovorture find place with you as I earnestly wish it may let me know with what possible speed you can and if you please by the Bearer in what way you desire it should be driven-on to a conclusion for in that as well as in substance you shall find all ready compliance from me that desire to be Carrick March 9. 1608.
