VVHen we do seriously consider the great and many duties which we owe unto God and his people over whom he hath made us overseers and for whom we must give an accompt and when we behold the laudable examples of the worthy Ministers of the Province of London and of the Commissioners of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in their free and faithful Testimonies against the insolencies of the Sectarian Party in England Considering also the dependency of this Kingdom upon the Kingdom of England and remembring how against strong opposition we were assisted by the Lord the last year in discharge of the like duty and how he punished the contempt of our warning upon the despisers thereof we finde our selves as necessitated so the more encouraged to cast in our Mite in the Treasury least our silence should involve us in the guilt of unfaithfulness and our people in security and neglect of duties In this discharge of the Trust put upon us by God we would not be looked upon as sowers of Sedition or Troubles of National and devisive motions our record is in Heaven that nothing is more hateful unto us or less intended by us and therefore we shall not fear the malicious and wicked aspersions which we know Satan by his instruments is ready to cast not onely upon us but upon all who sincerely endeavor the advancement of reformation what of late have been and now are the insolent and presumptuous practices of the Sectaries in England is not unknown unto the world for not withstanding their specious pretences for Religion and Liberties yet their late and preseat actions being therewith compared do clearly evidence that they love to wear a rough Garment to deceive since they with a high hand despised the Oath in breaking the Covenant which is so strong a foundation to both whilest they load it with slightive reproaches calling it a bundle of particulars and a contrary interest and a snare to the people and likewise labor to establish by Laws an universal Toleration of all Religions which is an avowed overturning of unity in Religion and so directly repugnant to the Word of God The two first Articles of the Solemn Covenant which is the greater wickedness in them to violate since many of the chiefest of themselves have with their hands lifted up to the most high God Sworn and Sealed it Moreover the great disaffection to the settlement of Religion and to their further breach of Covenant doth more fully appear by their strong oppositions to Presbyterial Government the hedge and Bulwark of Religion whilest they express their hatred to it more then to the worst of Errors by excluding it under the name of compulsion when they embrace even Paganisim and Judaism in the Arms of Toleration not to speak of their aspersions upon it and the asserters thereof as Antichristian and Popish though they have deeply sworn to maintain the same Government in the first Article of the Covenant as it is established in the Church of Scotland which they now so despitefully blaspheme Again It is more then manifest that they speak not the vindication but the extirpation of Laws and Liberties as appears by their seizing on the person of the King and at their pleasure removing him from place to place not onely without the consent but if we mistake not against a direct Ordinance of Parliament their violent surprising imprisoning and secluding many of the most worthy Members of the Honorable House of Commons directly against a declared priviledge of Parliament an action certainly without parallel in any age and their proposal of abolishing of all Parliamentary Power for the future and establishing a Representative as they call it instead thereof neither hath their fury stayed here but without all rule or example being but private men they have proceeded to the tryal of the King against both the Interest and Protestations of the Kingdom of Scotland and the former publique Declarations of both kingdoms besides their violent haste rejecting the hearing of any defences with cruel hands have put

Given at Carrick this 16. day of February 1648. 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. Your affectionate friend to serve you ORMOND For Colonel Michael Jones Governor of Dublin these Colonel Jones his Answer to the Marquesse of Ormonds Summons My Lord YOur Lordships of the ninth I received the twelfth instant and therein have I your

Lordships invitation to a conjunction with your selfe I suppose as Lord Lievtenant of Ireland and with others now united with the Irish and with the Irish themselves As I understand not how your Lordship should be invested with that power pretended so am I very well assured that it is not in the power of any without the Parliament of England to give and assure pardon to those bloody Rebells as by the Act to that end passed may appeare more fully I am also assured the Parliament of England would never assent to such a Peace such as is that your Lordships with the Rebells wherein is little or no provision made either for the Protestants or the Protestant Religion nor can I understand how the Protestant Religion should be setled and restored to its purity by an Army of Papists or the Protestants interests maintained by those very Enemies by whom they have been spoiled and theirs slaughtered and very evident it is that both the Protestant and Protestant Religion are in that your Lordships Treaty left as in the power of the Rebells to be by them borne down and rooted out at pleasure As for that consideration by Your Lordship offered of the prosent and late proceedings in England I see not how that may be a sufficient motive to me or to any other in like trust for the Parliament of England in the service of this Kingdom to joyn with those Rebels upon any the pretences in that Your Lordships Letter mentioned For therein were there a manifest betraying that Trust reposed in me in deserting the service and work committed to me and in joyning with those I should oppose and in opposing whom I am obliged to serve Neither conceive I it any part of my work and care to take notice of any whatsoever proceedings of State forraign to my charge and trust here especially they being found hereunto apparently destructive Most certain it is and former ages have approved it That intermedling of Governors and parties in this Kingdom with sidings and parties in England hath been the very betraying of this Kingdom to the Irish whil'st the Brittish Forces here had bin therupon cald off and the place therein layd open as it were given up to the common Enemy It is what Your Lordship might have observed in Your former Treaty with the Rebels that upon Your Lordships there-up withdrawing and sending hence into England the most considerable part of the English Army then commanded by You thereby was the remaining Brittish party not long after over-powered and Your Quarters by the Irish over-run to the Gates of Dublin Your self also reduced to that low condition as to be besieged in this very City the Metropolis and principal Citadel of this Kingdom and that by those very Rebels who till then never could stand before You and what the end hath been of that party also so sent by Your Lordship into England although the flower and strength of the English Army here both for Officers and Souldiers hath been very observable And how much the dangers are at present more then in former ages of hazarding the English interest in this Kingdom by sending any parties hence into any other Kingdom upon any pretences whatsoever is very apparent as in the generality of the Rebellion now more then formerly so considering Your Lordships present Conclusions with and Concessions to the Rebells wherein they are allowed the continued possession of all the Cities Fores and places of strength whereof they stood possessed at the time of their Treaty with Your Lordship and that they are to have a standing force if I well remember of 15000 Foot and 2500 Horse all of their own party Officers and Souldiers and they with the whole Kingdom to be regulated by a Major party of Irish Trustees chosen by the Rebels themselves as persons for their interests and ends to be by them confided in without whom nothing is to be acted And here I cannot but minde Your Lordship of what hath been sometime by Your self delivered as Your sence in this particular That the English interest in Ireland must be preserved by the English and not by the Irish and upon that ground if I be not deceived did Your Lordship capitulate with the Parliament of England from which clear principle I am sorry to see Your Lordship now receding As to that by Your Lordships menacing us here of blood and force if dissenting from those Your Lordships ways and desigues For my particular I shall my Lord much rather chuse to suffer in so doing for therein shall I do what is becoming and answerable to my Trust then to purchase to my self in the contrary the ignominious brand of perfidie by any allurements of whatsoever advantages offered me But very confident I am of the same Divine power which hath still followed me in this work and will still follow me and in that trust doubt I nothing of giving Your Lordship plainly this my resolution in that particular So I remain Dublin Mar. 4. 1648.
