Great News from the NORTH GIVING A True Account and RELATION OF THE Seizing of several Great Officers Soldiers and other Eminent Persons Particularly One of the late King 's Domestick Servants TOGETHER With their Horses Arms and other Considerable Booty designed as is supposed for Ireland Licensed and Enter'd according to Order SInce Almighty Providence has so Signally manifested its Power in the Preservation of these Kingdoms from the Bondage of Popery and Slavery we cannot but wonder that there should be any of that Faction remaining to Support so Tottering a Cause And yet it is too Evident by the Sedulous Endeavours of our Implacable Adversaries that we have still too many ●ncendiaries and Beautifeus amongst us as to raise that Fading Smoak into a Flame These are the people whose very Rudiments and Fundamentals distill ●nto them the principles of Cruelty and Rebellion that have Commission for Murder and Dispensation for Destroying Hereticks But all their Stratagems are ●n vain nor can it now be expected that any reasonable person should be so Insatuated as once to suffer it to enter into his mind to bring us back from a Flourishing people a settled Throne and a Unanimous Establishment to a Voluntary Bondage or Subject the Serenity of a Halcyon Galm to the Storms and Tempests of a threatning Tyranny Yet notwithstanding the Tranquility which these Nations sensibly feel and possess under the Benigne Influence of so Gracious a King and Queen Established in the Throne and the Assurance we have of the Protestant Religion confirm'd to us with all our Rights and Liberties there are yet a sort of Male-contents amongst us that like the Murmuring Israelites despise the Manna that Heaven showers round about their Tents the true Religion and Light of the Gospel that shined upon them and Lust after the Onions and Flesh-pots of Aegypt These are the Murmurs that are unadvisedly desirous to bring us back to the Flesh-pots of Aegypt The Bondage we have ●o lately and miraculously Escaped Of this sort are those who by a Treacherous Revolt at least Neglect betray'd their Trust in Ireland to the great prejudice of the present happy Establishment of this Nation and the Protestant Interest in that Kingdom that Interest which they thought to have utterly subdued crush'd and opprest by an Insulting power of French and Irish Papists and thi● with all the Demonstrations of Cruelty that could be expected from a mo●● Incensed and Barbarous Enemy And not only in Ireland but the Kingdome 〈◊〉 Scotland where some have fall'n under the suspicion of Undutifulness and Di●loyalty and yet some of them professing themselves Protestants But that an● Hero English Soul shou'd so Degenerate is to be more admir'd if not deplor'd Yet it seems amongst us there are not some wanting who after so great a Deliverance are desirous if it lay in their power to inflame their Native Land and appear Reprobates to the Grace is offer'd to them This is the Subject 〈◊〉 our present Matter and appears by these Gentlemen and Fugitives mention'● in this Narrative who have endeavour'd to get off to the professed Enemy an● Disturber of the Peace and Tranquility of these Kingdoms and labour to brea● the wholesome Measures hitherto taken for our Security And tho' these Incendiaries of the Nation and disturbers of our publick peace have found al● their Attempts hitherto unsuccessful through the Vigilance of those who are in Authority Yet do they still like Cataline attempt higher ills although 〈◊〉 be to their own Destruction Amongst this numerous Train whose Persons as well as Intreagues have been from time to time detected the following persons have been lately Discover'd with a Design of going over into Ireland to joyn Arms with those Combinated Rebels the French and Irish against the present Government The Principal of these Persons now taken and secur'd was Col. L gg Brother to an eminent Peer of this Realm with whom was one Hay●ood another Eminent Officer and several more Enquiry was made into that matter and it appearing more and more suspicious that there was some design on foot to raise Commotions or to get over to the Popish party in Ireland such diligence was used by the Officers of the Militia and others that for the preventing the Mischiefs that might arise through neglect the said Colonel and above twelve persons of Note more were secured in order to their being examined and brought up to London their Horses were likewise seized with valuable Materials and Furniture And amongst the number of those taken we have an Express by a Letter that upon scrutiny and strict Examination one of them appears to be or very lately to have been the late King James's Domestick Servant by wh●se further Examination it is not doubted a great Light may be given into the dark Contrivances and underhand Dealings so that the secret Intreagues of the Papists and their Agents may be blasted and utterly defeated in these Kingdoms and that as they all along have experienced they may find that they are but vain Projectors since their Wisdom is ever luckily turned into Foolishness and that God being on our side it is evident that Man's Counsels and Devices cannot prosper against the Strength of an Almighty A●m who has Power to Will and to Do what ever he pleases in Heaven and in Earth FINIS LONDON Printed for Thomas Rogers in the Year 1689.
