THE IMPUDENCE OF THE Romish Whore Continued and improved in her shamelesse and barbarous Brood of the JRJSH REBELLS Calling themselves His MAJESTIES Catholike Subjects Discovered by a Particular of certaine MOTIVES by them divulged and falsly alledged to be the Occasion of their late taking up Armes As also By their Oath of Association And by certain ridiculous and arrogant PROPOSJTJONS Which they have prepared with a foolish hope that they shall be condescended unto by the KING and PARLIAMENT of England All which are here exemplified with some briefe Notes and Observatious upon them By a Lover of his Countrey Published by Authority Printed by Robert Austin M.DC.XLIV The Motives and Reasons which the Irish Rebels have published as the occasions of their taking up Arms with brief Replies unto them THese Motives and Propositions following lately published by the Popish Irish Rebels and excellently discovering the shamelesse insolence madnesse and folly of that barbarous Nation came newly to my hands which having perused I perceived the Motives to be so false and the Propositions so absurd that me thought I saw in them and through them the very Quintessence of that brutish Malignity which might be extracted out of Popery and Barbarisme united And though they divulged these Conceptions of theirs to advance their own designes I judged it not amisse to further their publication that the besotted English may take notice of the sting which is in the taile of those dangerous Scorpions newly invited and entertained by some of them into their bosomes and to that purpose therefore I send them forth with an Antidote pressed out of their own poyson for the curing of the mischiefs and malignancy which the might els perhaps occasion or increase and you shall finde them in briefe Notes annexed to the severall insuing Motives and Propositions as they hastily dropped from my Pen. The Rebells first Motive I. It was plotted and resolved by the Puritan● of England and Ireland to extinguish quite the Catholike Religion and the Professors and Maintein●rs thereof and to put all Catholikes of this Realme to the Sword that would not conforme themselves to the Protestant Religion There was no expression of any purpose in those whom they call Puritans nor in any other of the English Nation to extirpate them or their Popish Heresies otherwise then according to the Laws long since established no probability of any secret or published intent to put any of them to the ●word for their Religion in a hostile or illegall way nor to punish them in a legall way so much as their mischievous and seditious activenesse often deserved II. The State of Ireland did publikely declare that they would root out of the Realme all the Natives and make a totall second Conquest of the Land alledging they were not safe with them If the State of England or Ireland ever made any such Declaration it was not untill their bloudy unequal'd and inhumane massacres of the British Protestants were first causlesly and without provocation both begun and almost finished It was not before these Irish had taken up rebellious and persidious Arms nor was it then purposed by the Britans that any innocent Irish should have suffered either in body or estate though they who judge the cruelty of other mens hearts by their own falsly pretend this Motive III. All Natives here were deprived of the benefit of the ancient Fundamentall Lawes Liberties and Priviledges due by all Lawes and Iustice to a free People and Nation and were particularly due by the Municipall Lawes of Ireland This is falfe for the Irish were for the most part during many Ages past a bruitish People liuing under the Arbitrary tyrannies of their pettie Lords according to rude Customes more Heathenish then Christian and having instead of Ecclesiasticall or Civill Lawes certain uncertain Traditions patched up out of Popery Prophanenesse and Superstition without any conformity to Justice or to such Lawes as became a civillized Nation untill their wildnesse became regulated by the good example of the English who gave them wholsome Lawes yea and Priviledges and Freedomes from their Oppressors IV. That the Subjects of Ireland especially the Irish were thrust out forceably from their ancient possessions against and without colour of Right and could not have propriety or security in their estates goods or other rights but were wholly subject to an Arbitrary Power and Tyrannicall Government these forty years past without any hope of reliefe or redresse They had generally except those who forfeited their estates by wilfull Rebellion the same right and propriety which the Britans had if they submitted to the Lawes as they did And if any propriety were taken from them by a tyrannicall or Arbitrary Power it was by the corruption and cruelty of those whom they now take to be their great Friends and by whom the Britans there and we here also were and are as much oppressed as they pretend to have been in this Motive V. Their native Youth debarred by the practice of State from all learning and education in that the onely Vniversity here excludes all Catholikes thence neither are they suffered to acquire learning or breeding beyond the Seas on porpose to make them rude and ignorant of all Letters This is untrue for the native Youth have as free libertie of education in all good Studies Arts and Sciences as the Britans and are debarred nothing but what the Children of the said Britans are also debarred if they be not conformable to the Lawes Yea they are debarred nothing but what is likewise mischievous to themselves and repugnant to the Law of God of which prohibitions none ought to complaine seeing the like are in most other Kingdomes and States much lesse ought they to make it a motive of rebellion or thereupon to inferre that it is purposed meerly to keep their Youth ignorant of letters VI. The Catholikes of this Kingdome are not admitted to any Dignities Place or Offices either Military or Civill Spirituall or Temporall but the same are conferred upon men of no quality who purchase it either for money or favour and not by merit The Protestants are not admitted to Dignities Militarie Civill or Spirituall in Spaine were that a just Motive therefore their Lawes not allowing it for their Natives to take up Armes against the State and murder unexpectedly their brethren as these have done Now if such dignities were conferred for money and on undeserving men it was done by their good Friends and Patrons onely who did the like here and therefore me thinks they should have concealed their corruptions till they had totally inslaved them which yet is but partly effected VII All the trading trafficke shipping and riches of this whole Isle by the corruption of the State are ingrossed by Dutch Scottish and English not residing here who exclude the Natives wholly from the same and who returne the Product of all their stocke and coyne backe into their native Countreyes This if it were so is
