then the English are certainely destroyed for the Irish continuing in their full multitudes and fully armed will be masters both of governement and interest both of King and Subject the English cannot inhabit here 15. This Cessation cannot give us Corne till harvest in the meane time wee starve though they strive to send us in Cattell which is much doubted they can very hardly doe 16. The Cessation will provide onely for the Army and that in a scant measure not enough to serve halfe the yeare what shall the poore English robbed subjects doe they have neither money nor meanes to buy foode but the English must all be gone which is the principall labour of the Irish and of those that have promoted this Cessation 17. If all the Armes of the Irish mighe have bin delivered up and the Towns rendered to us we might perhaps have had a little breathing but no security so long as such huge numbers of the Irish remaine and the English in such paucity and weakenesse 18. This Cessation will utterly deface our Religion and set up Popery in the full height 19. The harvest saved to them and lost to us will be of much greater value to them for the subsistence and advantage then all that they can give us can be to us besides the lengthening of the warre for many yeares 20. Their malice is now more and their power more then at the beginning can we thinke they will hold longer with us then they see their time 21. This Cessation leades to a peace and being as is principally pretènded by reason of our extreame necessities and the failer of the Parliament even to save our lives whereas in truth our lives are not worth the dishonour and detriment it will bring to the Crowne and English Nation and it must worke to base ends even to give the Irish all the Lands and for ever keepe out the English which is the thing mainely affected and to worke the dissolving of the Act for the Adventurers and to smother all the cruelties murthers and rapines committed by the Irish 22. It doth utterly discourage all the English and makes them forsake the Kingdome all they can which will soone be done 23. The Rogues of this Rebellion though not seemingly countenanced by the great ones being needy and in want will steale all our Cowes c. from our garisons and no remedy 24. The Cessation hath in pretence an aime at our subsistence and to be founded only on our necessities which truly is a dangerous ground of peace amongst so persidious a people but the inward meaning is the preservation and restitution of the Irish and keeping out the English and English governement neither doth it seeme to be a thing so resolutely commanded by the King for it hath bin said openly if we would lend 10000lb. there should be no Cessation and yet the King should be satisfied or if we would propound any other way for maintenance the like should be done 25. It is a certaine way to lose Ulster which is now in a manner intirely in our hands and we in a faire way to Connaught 26. New the Cattell which we gaine though they be sold deare here yet our Souldiers have the money who spend it amongst us but if the Cessation proceed then we must buy Corne and Cattell from the Rebels who will have all our money 27. Lastly Although we are truely in a most miserable case for subsistence gasping daily for the last breath by samine or our owne enemies Sword seeming for a time to be left by the Parliament through the intemperate exclamations of a wanting Army and our Soveraigne Lord the King not able at the present to helpe us Yet doubtlesse it is lesse dishonourable and shall render us lesse scandalous to posterity to die with our Swords in our hands yet expecting Gods mercy then by a craved Cessation and in a certaine destruction to tye up our hands now helping us a little and yeild up our selves and the Kingdome against his Majesty and the Crowne of England into the hands of barbarous Rebells who thirst only to riot in the blood of innocent English and the utter abolition of the Protestant Religion The new Oath made by the supreame Councell of the Rebels of IRELAND at Kilkenny WHereas the Romish Catholiques of this Kingdome of Ireland have bin enforced to take Armes for the necessary defence and preservation as well of the Religion plotted and by manifold practises endeavoured to be quite suppressed by the Puritan faction as likewise the lives estates and liberties as also for the defence and safeguard of his Majesties regall Powers just Prerogatives Honours Estates and Rights invaded upon And for that it is requisite that there should be an unanimous consent and reall union between all the Catholiques of this Realme to maintaine the premises and strengthen them against the Adversaries It is thought fit that they and whosoever shall adhere to their parties as a confederate should for the better assurance of the adhering fidelity and constancy for the publike cause take this ensuing Oath I A.
