ON the 23. day of October 1641. that horrid Rebellion broke forth there that day they intended to seize the Castle of Dublin the Irish being every where else risen and in arms but the design was discovered by one Owen Conally an Irish Gentleman by birth and family but a retainer to Sir Iohn Clotworthy who being acquainted with the plot by one of the Rebells leaping over a set of pales whether he pretended to go and ease himself escaped by the favour of a dark night ran away and informed the Lord Justice Parsons with the whole design Upon this discovery the Lord Mack Gutre and one Mr. Mac Mahon were seised in Dublin the Town though in a most terrible fright was presently put into a posture of defence Advice was sent thorowout the Kingdom of Ireland of the Rebellion but all too late for it was universal and no part of the Kingdom where they were not risen so that a Proclamation against them and all raising of Arms was the best present remedy Notwithstanding the Rebels under the command of Sir Phelim Oneal as General seize all Vlster except the Castle of Eneskelin sparing for a while the Scotch Plantations there but growing so numerous that they dreaded not any supplies from the vicinity of Scotland they at last force them plunder them and garrison the cheil places of strength Sir Phelim Oneale taketh Dundalk and publisheth his Declaration called The Declaration of the Catholique Confederate Subjects of his Majesties Kingdome of Ireland s●uft with many shews of their Religion and Loyalty as could be and which is notable asserting that they did it to remove that Tyranny put upon their consciences in imitation of their fellow-fellow-subjects of Scotland who got a priviledge by that course Presently after they besieged Tredah but after several encounters betwixt the besieged their relief being defeated at Gillington-bridge by reason of a mutiny amongst them and the Rebels The Town was at last freed by a strong assistance and supply sent them from Dublin under the command of Sir Henry Titchburn who soon after upon the dislodgement of the Enemy from the Town followed him overtook him and routed him recovering Dundalk again by storm putting all to the sword while Oneale hardly escaped over the river and so fled Leave we this Kingdom in a forlorn miserable condition and cast an eye homeward The King was departed from Hampton Court thence in company with his Queen and his Daughter the Princess of Aurange to Dover to see them shipped for Holland he returned streight to Greenwich from thence having the Prince in his company to Theoballs Still the difference widened more and more according as he removed from London to which he was importunately desired to return by both Houses by the members thereof who continued sitting though the Grandees of the Faction were well contented with what distance he kept from them as rendring their pretended jealousies and fears more and more credible to the deluded people From Thoballs the misundestandings still increasing betwixt the King and his Two Houses he removed Northward first to Royston thence to Newmarket and in conclusion to York having received and answered several messages from the Parliament by the way The principal difference between the King and them was the Militia this was disputed betwixt them the King claiming it as an unseparable right of the Crown and the Houses urging the management of it for present satisfaction and safety and had thereupon nominated Officers which designation the King disallowed and now the rupture was visible Anno Domoni 1642. THe Gentry and the Generality of the County of York proffer to raise a Guard from amongst themselves for the Kings person in the mean time the Parliament desire him that the Magazine might be removed from Hull at which the King being displeased goes from York and demands the said Town stores and Magazines therein to be delivered to him which the Governour Sir Iohn Hotham presenting himself on his knees upon the walls refused to do save that if the King with some small retinue would enter he freely might This affront very much ne●led his Majesty so that he did very sharply complain of it to the Parliament but they rather justified Sir Iohn Hotham then gave the King any satisfaction which made him attempt for his Honour sake something against the Town by force in which enterprise some twenty of the Kings Guards were killed and so he retreated to Beverley where he found a very great addition of Gentlemen from all parts of the Kingdom who with their duty presented him their service In the mean while the Parliament was intent on the business of leavying Arms though several Patriots of both Houses did what they could to perswade to an accommodation amongst whom Sir Benjamin Rudyard was one of the chief who all along warned them of the miseries of a Civil War and what a shame it would be to them in after times and so consequently to all Parliaments if when the King had condescended so far they should proceed to the effusion of blood upon so unnecessary a quarrel he dyed soon after the first blood was drawn and that speech of his on his death-bed is very remarkable Mr. Pym and Mr Hamden saith he the Grandees of the then Faction told me That they thought the King so ●ll-beloved by his Subjects that he could never be able to raise an Army to oppose them which mistake of theirs cost many thousand live Nom the Militia was on foot every where the Parliaments Cause had the precedency of affection their Ordinances being obeyed like Acts wherefore the King prohibited by Proclamation any Levies Musters or of his Subjects any where in England without his command and
