publick Revenue is primarily in Him and till his disbursements be satisfied of which there is not yet no Auditor but himself for principall and provenue All Ireland is his morgage yea divers of its chief Cities and Fortresses are to be his in possession for more speciall securance and caution Upon promise of this security before the signing of the Treaty the Duke sent 20000 l. to Galloway and since the full signing of the same some other supplies of the like value have been sent from the same hand and questionles if the Irish Commissioners were able to grant enough to the Duke the Duke has contracted warily enough for himself but the main thing contracted for is yet in English hands such as regard neither of the treating parties So in conclusion the Duke is his own security all that he has treated for with the Irish is but a crackt Title his own coffers must still purchase that which is to replenish his Coffers and the expence of his Militia must recover that which is to repay him for the expence of his Militia It behooves the Duke therefore now to lay all at stake and not to dally away his Treasure in Crums especially since He is dismist of the Duke of Newburghs entertainment for all the body of his mercinary Larro●…s if he had swimming Carriages sufficient to their march and all the plunder and hire that that body has inricht him withall are scarse sufficient to ensure this one Irish bargain to him The yong titular Kings ends are condition'd for in the 3. 4. 9. 11. Articles The Duke promisses him fair but leaves him nothing else to depend upon besides bare promises Yea and the Commissioners also to whom the Duke has promist a resignation of the Crown after all demands satisfied and debts paid treat by a Commission from the Kingdome and people of Ireland not so much as mentioning Him if then the yong Titular King was privy consenting to this Transaction so directly threatning the extirpation of Protestants here cald Hereticks and the confusion of England here made the Pray of so many Hunters we may safely conclude that he has abjurde both Religion and Country nay we may conclude further that having postponed all other things to private aimes of his own in the pursuing of those aimes He is rather transported with counsels of blood and revenge then of hope and advantage But if his consent was not past to these Articles so dishonourable and injurious to himself his Irish Subjects are not so loyall and faithfull to him as sometimes they would faine professe themselves to be and as his tame complyance with them seems to merit at their hands How wise his Councellors are I cannot apprehend for when I consider that the Scots and the Irish have been perpetually courted by him and gratified with condiscentions against his Religion against his Honour against his Conscience against his inclination and yet nothing was ever hitherto held out to the Governing party in England but the red Flagg of defiance his Counsels seem to me unfathomable The advantages of the Irish are now lastly to be look't after in the 1. 2. 6. 12. 13. 15. 19. Articles For they are not only to be restored to their own forfeited Estates but rewarded also for their bucheries and outrages with all that pertains to the English They are to have negative voices in all Truces and Treaties of peace They are to be governd by a Catholick Prince and in his absence by a Catholick Deputy till the Duke declares himself fully satisfied and continued They are to have the Popes Crosier as predominant amongst them as ever formerly In brief they are to have Popery secured to them for ever by vertue whereof they shall be absolved of all blood by them already drawn and enabled to shed as much hereafter upon all occasions offred for since they have not pawnd but really sold themselves in fee to the Duke of Lorrain knowing and foreseeing their Countries insolvency and that the Dukes pretences are never probably to be answerd in this age though right reckonings might be expected that dear Religion of theirs which so sweetned to them by the sacrificing of Hereticks must needs be indefeasibly establisht amongst them Now all these things sumd up together need no Commentary to be made upon them every English man that knows what belongs to an English man will be a sufficient Commentater to himself In observing of the Irish especially for the other 3. Treators are forrein to us and their sincerity in Treating no man can be deficient for they we see here whilst they are professing fidelity to the Parliament and seeking freedome of their own consciences yet are Articling with the Duke of Lorrain and other Potentates at the same time to root out the very name of English and Protestant from the face of the earth and though they have alwayes made their Kings Cause a principall part of their quarrell against us notwithstanding that He is our profest enemy yet upon all advantages they are ready to casheir him though He he hath always followed his Fathers steps in this in keeping a secret strict and servile correspondence with them yea and Espousing so much guilt of blood for their sakes as all the water in the Sea betwixt England and Ireland will never wash off from his unhappy Family About the beginning of Novemb Limerick yeelded to the Lord Deputy upon such Articles as shew what distresse the Town was in but the Articles have been Printed and publisht already and therefore I forbear here to insert them Howsoever presently after the Lord Deputy sent his summoning Letters with offers of fair Termes to Galway Copies whereof you shall now have A Copy of his Excellencies Letter to Gen Preston Governor of Galway SIR I Shall not now do you the courtesie as to Summon you at such a distance because your gravity once chid me for it as unadvisedly But for the good mens sake of the City who perhaps may not be so ayery in the notion of a Souldiers Honor as to understand the quibles of it or to find the worth or weight in them to admit them in ballance against the more feeling concernments of their own safety and subsistance though men of your unhappy breeding think such glorious Trifles worth the sacrificing or of other mens lives and interests for however you would your own I have here sent to them a sober tender of Conditions which they may perhaps think it behooves them to consider whilether's time and rather at distance then stay till the refusall bring mischief or danger neerer their doores This if you shall fairly communicate as t is directed and especially if you be found complyant to the substance and effect of it waving the frivolous impertinencies of a Souldiers Honour or humor rather you may partake in the benefit of such Conditions as your quality renders you capable of If you smother or suppresse it you may guesse whose

THE CHEIF AFFAIRS OF IRELAND TRULY COMMUNICATED For a check and reproof to all such as walk Westminster-Hall onely to spread false wonders of the Toryes and landing of Forrein Forces in Ireland that they may discourage any that are now willing to go over either to plant or serve in the Wars for the better speeding of the work yet behinde LONDON Printed by F Neile 1651. THe Earl of Clanrickard titular Deputy of Ireland for the titular King of Great Brittain upon receit of the Duke of Lorrains Agreement with the Irish Agents sends out his Summons to assemble the States of Ireland that He may communicate to them the said Agreement and some other matters of publick concernment One Copie of his Summons to the County of Gallway follows here verbatim AFter my hearty Commendations The last Generall Assembly held at Lough Reagh having adjourned their Sessions unto the sixth of November next which through eminent occasions and at Request of the Officers of the Army hath been appointed sooner but by reason of the slendernesse of Appearance and power of the Enemy was disappointed from concluding any thing upon the weighty Affairs they had to debate and adjourned unto the said day first appointed We have therefore thought fit to Renue and appoint the meeting of the said Assembly at James Town upon the said sixth day of November next at ten of the Clock in the forenoon and do hereby pray and require that you will under your Hand and Seal return unto the said Generall Assembly at the time and place aforesaid either the former persons returned from the County of Galloway and Corporations therein or two other able and lawfully elected Persons by an Assembly or Generall meeting of the aforesaid County and two other able and lawfully elected Persons by the Inhabitants of every Burrough in the said County there to sit and vote in all Matters debated by the said Assembly and if the power of the Enemy will not admit such generall meetings you are to cause the said Election to be made and returned in the best manner you may and to give notice to the Persons by you to be returned as aforesaid not to fail in the said hour the rather that we have to commmunicate to the said Assembly as well a dispatch lately received by us of a transaction made and concluded with the Duke of Lorrain for the Relief of this Kingdome as also severall matters relating unto and concerning the said Agreements and other matters of much importance to his Ma service and the good of this Nation which least any Interruption may be given us by the Enemy we intend shall be entred upon and debated the first day of the Sessions having resolved to avoid the danger of a long Session to hasten as far as in us lyeth the Results to be there taken And so we bid you heartily farewell And remain At Aghnanure the 10. October 1651. For the County of Galloway Your loving Friend CLENRICKARD By vertue of this Summons a Generall Assembly was to meet at James-Town in Connought Novemb. the 6th last but the appearance probably was then very slender and the power of the English did as it had done before at Longh Reagh disappoint the formall concluding of any matters of importance In Leynster Munster Vlster all the Cities Burroughs Towns and places Habitable almost were in English hands if any Messengers could be found to deliver Summons no competent Electors could be found to observe the same And even in Connought the Two head Cities were at once besieged and the besiegers of each were so fearles of being raised or disturbed by all the Forces of Ireland that divided as they were they yet further subdivided themselves and marched abroad constantly to seek out Enemies and take in Garrisons all that lay within any reasonable distance It must needs be therefore a very hard matter for Clanrickard driven to such straits as He himself was out of a Nation so far subdued as Ireland then was to call together any thing that might in any construction be admitted to be a Generall Assembly or any Representative fit to conclude of generall Affairs Howsoever a Copy of that Agreement which had been completed betwixt Charles the 4th D of Lorrain on the one part and the Lo Taaffe viscunt Sir Nic Plunket Knight and Geff Brown Esquire of the other part shall be here inserted faithfully Some abbreviation shall be used as to those tedious superfluous repetitions which the Lawyers stile intruder as necessary but I shall not recede from the sense and substance in the least for that I appeal to the enemy himself The Copy follows An Agreement betwixt Charles the 4th D. of Lorrain and Theobald L Viscont Taaf Sir Ni Plunket and Geoff Browne deputed and authorised by the Kingdom and people of Ireland 1. THe most Illustrious Duke is to be vested with royall power under the Title of Protector Royall of Ireland 2. Because Religion is the prime end and subject of the Treaty all is to begin with an imploring application to the Pope for his paternall benediction and Help that He will not be wanting in things spirituall or temporall in consideration whereof it is protested that constant perpetuall obsequiousness of duty and faithfulness shall be paid to his Holiness and the Apostolick See 3. In consideration of this Royall Protectors power granted the Duke is by war to prosecute the Kings Enemies and afford Him all possible assistance 4. The said Duke is to do nothing in abrogation of the Kings Authoritie or jurisdiction in Ireland but rather to amplifie it and having restor'd the Kingdom and Religion to their due pristine estate He is to resigne cheerfully the Kingdom to the King 5. Before resignation as aforesaid the Duke is to be re-imbursed all by Him preimpended in this business and for this re-imbursement a generall exact obedience to the Duke in faith and fidelity from the Kingdom and people is made and to be observed without reservation to any other Superiority whatsoever 6. The Duke is not to fail on his part to expell out of Ireland Hereticks Enemies to Kings and Religion and to recover and defend all things belonging to the faithfull Subjects of Ireland 7. The Duke is solely and absolutely to exercise all military power for the present and future in Ireland as to the nomination of all Commanders and guiding all martiall proceedings at his own pleasure and in his own person unles He in his absence substitute some other Catholick person 8. The Duke is to introduce no innovation into the Towns c. to him Assigned repugnant to the securities priviledges Immunities Proprieties Lands Estates or antient Laws of the Irish reserving only to Himself Authority to apply remedy in any thing accruing wherein publick prejudice may be concerned 9. The Duke is not to interpose in Administration of judiciall or civill Affairs but leave them to be proceeded in according to the fundamentall Laws and politick forme
