A95686	That great expedition for Ireland by way of underwriting proposed, by both Houses of Parliament, and graciously assented unto by His Maiesty is heere vindicated as pious, charitable, iust, politicke, profitable. And obiections to the contrary clearely answered, by one who heartily wisheth the speedy promotion of this proposition of underwriting, as almost the onely remedy.

sex and that age women and little ones whom God would Deut. 20. 14. have spared even after peace is rejected To be cruell extreme cruell to that unarmed profession which should it self be a protection the Ministers of the Word of God yet the garrison of the Philistines did not hurt the colledge of the Prophets But for these butcheries there can be no reparation Numb 35. 31. except 1 Sam. 10. 5. the blood of the murtherer he that sheddeth mans blood by man shall his blood be shed without which the Land cannot be cleansed from the guilt of innocent blood nay to be cruell Numb 35. 33. even to the very fruit-trees which God expresly forbiddeth To be cruell to the very wals and roofes which the civill heathen Deut. 20. 19. did abominate Tully cals it nefarium bellum a wicked warre which is made with wals and roofes and pillars And Livy commends the Romanes that having taken Capua they did not tirranise over the wals and houses But it seemes these men despaire to hold them themselves and they would not have them to become receptacles for us All this while I speak not of those goods and moveables which they took from the Protestants which in the space of ten weeks were stimated by a moderate survey at ten hundred thousad pounds Then if it be a blessed thing to them to receive what a blessing will this be to joyn with others in the reliefe of so many desolate widows distressed orphans banished persos That very day that Zacheus made such a proffer he heard This day is divation come to thine house And this likewise will be a second fruit of thy subscriptio Thirdly for Justice There are three grounds of a just warre First The defence and protection of the innocent Secondly The recovery and repetition of things wrongfully deteined Thirdly The punishment and revenge of injuries received Here all these considerations or rather obligations do concur The persons to be protected are brethren by Nation by Religion and by the same bond of subjection under a gracious Soveraigne The things deteined are their lands their goods their wives their children their friends and whatsoever a man can call deare in this world And not deteined onely but abused famished starved and used worse than dogs The injuries received are of all sorts reflecting both upon soul and body and estate So this Contract is pious charitable and just In the fourth place it stands with the rules of good Policie Is it not one cause of our distemper that the head wants a due proportion of aliment and is necessitated out of proper course sequi pabulum Now in respect Vlster is the lowest rated and most planted and by consequence the least expectation of Escheats there by a probable Medium which cannot much erre this Million of money to be contracted for will not take up above 25 or 2600000 of English Acres and out of this will arise to his Majestie a constant yeerly Revenue of 23000. l. or thereabout To which all the rest of the Escheated Lands being added and improved in like manner it will raise such a considerable Revenue as may in a great part ease the Subject of extraordinarie Subsidies The poorer sort are yet sensible of the late charge of Subsidies and Poll-money This course will free them and transfer the burthen upon such as are both able and willing to undergo it this will much quicken and accelerate the supplies lesse bodies are more capable of sudden motions By this means Ireland shall be speedily rescued before it be lost out-right If our enemies had the command of that back-doore we should not long want them here When the Romanes had once gotten Sicily they soon after invaded and gave Laws to Africke You remember the old Proverbe He that will England win with Ireland must begin Let us defend Aras focos our Region our Religion rather at a distance than at home This will amplifie and extend the power and glory of the English Nation whilest trees grow in a throng on an heap they cannot spread out their bowes at libertie as they may do when they are removed and planted at a greater distance There are two reasons why Rome did flourish more and longer than Athens or Sparta the one by incorporating those whom they conquered with themselves as the Sabines and the Albanes by this meanes changing enemies into Citizens which course succeeded prosperously to Henry the eighth in the union of Wales to England The other was their Colonies which they sent abroad when Rome was the Mistresse of a great part of the world their chiefest strength was in their Colonies out of which the greatest part of their Armies were ever raised Hanum subsidio imperium populi Romani stetit saith Livie If this contract Lib. 27. proceed with effect I doubt not speedily to find another England in Ireland and to see that old saying proved false Ireland will not be reformed till the day of judgement Former Plantations sell by drops here and there Rari●autes in gurgite vasto that was the reason why so many of the old English degenerated and turned Irish They could not operate beyond the spheere of their own activity but this by the blessing of God will presently give a settlement both to it self and that Kingdom Hitherto a great part of those who have gone over have been poore Farmers or necessitous persons that were not able to make a considerable improvement These contracters will be able to make it a gallant Kingdom forthwith So you see Religion Charitie Justice and Policy are foure great incouragements to subscribe this Contract But yet there is one wanting which is as much looked after in the world as any of them that is the smell of gaine Quid dabitur viro What advantage shall a Contracter reape by it If there be a concurrence of this also Omne ●ulit punctum qui miset utile dulci. Yes surely be it spoken with all due submission to the All-mighty providence in whose hand is the event of battells and by his grace and blessing upon the just Armes of his Royall Majestie and his loyall Subjects I doe not conceive the adventure to be much greater than a voyage into the Weiles especially if we beginne with speed before they get forraine ayde and not a velitation but a just warre It was the Spartane errour that with Skirmishes rather than Battells they taught the Thebans to become their Masters Now if a man would set out one hundred pounds for the insurance of another which were a great proportion considering the adventure yet the contract would beare it over and over again To speak modestly within my compasse That w th might have beene sold for sixe thousand pounds within this yeare a Contracter shall now have for lesse than one thousand pounds besides the expectation of a mightie improvement by this plantation So as it is cleerely the most gainefull trade that can be
