Bourke Printer to the Confederate Catholikes of Ireland AND Re-printed at London by R. Austin for J. T. 1644. I Have here presented to your viewes what effect the first Cessation of Arms with those bloudy Miscreants the Irish Rebels hath wrought 1. The sending over of an Army to take part with the Malignants in our own Kingdome against the King and Parliament 2. The fresh arming of many thousands of the Rebels by supply from Dunkirke France and divers parts of the Low-Countreyes by which means infinite store of all sorts of Ammunition is come to them 3. A sufficient scope to fortifie themselves in divers of their strong holds and victualling themselves by receiving the last Summers Harvest 4. Unheard of bold and insolent Propositions to His Majesty for a peace justifying themselves in their bloudy rebellious actions as hath already been made appeare to all mens view which Propositions of theirs cannot but be destructive to all Protestants within His Majesties Dominions For confirmation whereof I pray you take notice upon what condition Protestants may live among them by this ensuing Oath framed by their supreme Counsell as they term themselves to be tendred to all Protestants in that Kingdome seconded with a generall scandalous Proclamation for the arming of all persons from the age of 18. to 60. the better to over-awe that poor handfull of our English Protestants yet scatteringly remaining among them in which Proclamation is set forth also what character they hold of these honourable Houses of Parliament and of all our well-affected Protestants after the reading of which Proclamation I hope there is no well-affected Protestant within His Majesties whole Dominions that will desire or wish any other peace with that wicked portion of Babels children then Joshua and the Israelites had with the Canaanites but will rather set their heads their hearts their hands and what else possible may be conducible to bring that Kingdome to an habitation for Gods true Israelites that the Gospell of Christ may once more flourish there and that more gloriously then ever to which my prayers and service are wholly dedicated A Declaration of the Lords Gentry and others of Leinster and Munster of their intentions towards English and Scotish Protestants Inhabitants within this Kingdome WHereas we are informed that it is generally conceived and believed by the English and Scotish Protestants Inhabitants of this Kingdome that wee the Lords Gentry and others of the said Kingdome have taken Armes and taken Forces for the extirpation and banishing of them out of this Kingdome thereby to acquire to our selves their goods and estates we therefore desire to be rightly understood for wee hereby declare that we never consented nor intended nor newill intend nor condescended to any such act but do utterly disclaime them but that each man knowne to be a moderate conformable Protestant may as well as the Romish Catholicks respectively live and enjoy the freedome of their own Religion and peaceably and quietly possesse their own estates so far forth as they or any of them shall joyne with us in this Oath following I A.
