Lord Inchiquin were received by mee from your Lordship upon a suspicion I had there might fall out some unhandsome cariage towards them upon the departure of these English out of the quarters which opportunity of serving them I was not very unwilling to imbrace conceiving it an honourable expedient for their security in case they should be necessitated thereunto But I find His Excellency it not at all satisfyed with me therin I having no Commission to that purpose and upon intimation sent his Lordship that I had such a thing he commanded me to returne it with civility to your Lordship But finding by the Copy of a Letter to the Governor of Waterford which I here inclose that there is some use indeavoured to be made thereof to his exceeding preiudice and dishonour he hath commanded metosend it to himselfe least the returne of it should be perverted to his prejudice as the acceptance was I have hereby returned your Lordship the Passe for the Lord Inchiquin and from both have received very slender thankes for bringing them Your Lordship knows I made no engagement for any thing no either of their behalfes but on the contrary in the discussion of those proposaIls which I presented to your Lordship from the Officers did declare that I had positive commands to except the Lord Marquis of Ormond and Lord of Iuchiquin from having any benefit of or relation unto any thing that was comprized in that treaty so that the suggestions of M. Axtell to the Governor of Waterford though they are nothing a greable to the conditions we received from your Lordship yet they give a very great dissatisfaction to many here of my integrity as presuming me to act some thing under hand either by design or beyond Commission wherein if your Excellency would be pleased to afford me the justice of some kind of vindication it would extremly oblige me in a very gratefull resentiment My Lord Your Excellencies humble servant M. BOYLE Cloneraud May 3. 1656. My Lord Lieutenants Letter to Cromwell when he sent him Back his Passe SR DEan Boyle having brought me a Paper signed and sealed by you seeming to be a Passe for me to transport my selfe beyond seas I did much wonder from whence or for what reason it was that you either gave or he accepted it since he was directed to declare to you if it came in question that I had no intention to treat with you for a Passe or any other thing And though I am yet to seek a reason for his part of that transaction yet yours appeares to me in Axtells Letter to Generall Preston I have by this Trumpetter returned you your Paper and for your unsought courtesy do assure you that when you shall desire a Passe from me and I thinke fit to grant it I shall not make use of it to corrupt any that commands under you I remain Your humble servant ORMONDE Kogh reogh the 17 May 1650. The Speech of his Excellency the Marquis of Ormond unto the Generall Assembly of the confederates in Irland upon the signing of the peace in answer to the Oration of Sr. Richard Blake Chairman of the Assembly Mentioned PAG. 55. My Lords and Gentlemen I Shall not speake to those expressions of duty and Loyalty so eloquently digested into a Discourse by the Gentleman appointed by you to deliver your sense you will presently have in your hands greater and more solid Arguments of His Majesties gratious acceptance of them then I can enumerate or then perhaps you your selves discerne for besides the provision made against your remotest feares of the severity of certaine Lawes and besides many other freedomes and bounties conveighed to you and your posterity by these Articles There is a doore and that a large one not left but sett open to give you entrance by your future merits to whatsoever of honour or other advantage you can reasonably wish so that you have in present fruition what may abundantly satisfye and yet there are no bounds set to your hopes but you are rather invited or according to a new Phrase but to an old better purpose You seeme to have a Call from Heaven to excercise your Armes and uttermost fortitude in the noblest and justest Cause the world hath knowen for let all the Circumstances incident to a great good Cause of warr be examined and they will befound Comprehended in that which you are now called warrantably to defende Religion not in the narrow circumscribed definition of it under this or that late found out distinction but Christian Religion is our Quarrell which certainly is as much and as fatally struck at I may say more by the blasphemous Lycence of this Age then ever it was by the rudest Incursions of the most barbarous and most avowed Enemys to Christianity The venerable Lawes and fundamentall Constitutions are trodden under impious and for the most part Mechanique feete a Iudg reader if these be the words of one that intends to betray the Kingdome and Kings interest to Cromwell The sacred person of the King the life of those Lawes under an ignominious imprisonment his life threatned to be taken away by the Sacrilegious hands of the basest of the People that owe Him obediences And to endeare the Quarrell to you the fountaine of all the benefits you have but now acknowledged and of what you may further hope for by this Peace and your owne merits is now in danger to be obstructed by the execrable murther of the worthjest Prince that ever ruld these Islands In short Hell can adde nothing to the desperate Mischeife now openly projected And now judge if a greater or a more glorious feild was ever set open to action and then prepare yourselves to enter into it And receive these few Advices from one throughly embarqued with you in the Adventure First Let me recommend unto you that to this as to all other holy Actions you would prepare yourselves with perfect Charity a Charity that may obliterate whatsoever b Are not here the factions of Rancours a long continued Civill warr may have contracted in you against any that shall now cooperate with you in so blessed a worke let his engagement with you who ever he is be as it ought to be a Bond of Unity of Love of Concord stronger then the nearest tye of nature In the next place marke and beware of those that shall goe about to renew or create c Iealousies Iealousies in you under what pretense soever accompt such as infernal Ministers imployed to promote the black Designe on foote to subvert Monarchy to make us all slaves to those that are so to theire owne avaritious Lusts Away assoone as much as possibly may be with those distinctions d And nationall animosities fore seen forelold that since have ruind all of Nations and of Partys which are the feilds where in the seede of those Rankor weeds are sowen by the great Enemy of our Peace In the last place Lett us all divest ourselves of that preposterous that ridiculous Ambition and selfe Interest which rather leads to our threatned generall Ruine then to the enjoyment of Advantages unseasonably desired And if at any time you shall thinke yourselves pincht to neare the bone by those Taxes Leavyes that may be imposed on you for your defense Consider then how vaine how foolish a thing it will be to starve a Righteous Cause for want of necessary support to preserve yourselves fat guilded sacrificies to the rapine of a mercilesse Enemy And if wee come thus well prepared to a Contention so just on our part God will either blesse our Endeavours with successe victory or f Were there ever nobler or more generous expressions of loyalty then these Crowne our sufferings with honour patience for what honour will it not be if God have so determined of us to perishwith a long glorious Monarchy And who can wante patience e The people of Irland have found the truth of this by a lamentable experience to suffer with opprest Princes But as our Endeavours so let our prayers be vigorous that they may be delivered from a more unnatural Rebellion then is mentioned by any story now raised to the highest pitch of successe against them I should now say something to you for my selfe in returne to the advantagious mention made of me g Or greater modesty my Endeavours to bring this settlement to passe but I confesse my thoughts were wholy taken up with those much greater Concernements Let it suffice that as I wish to be continued in your good esteeme affection so I shall freely adventure upon any hazard and esteeme no trouble a difficulty too great to encounter if I may manifest my zeale to this Cause and discharge some part of the obligations that are upon me to serve this Kingdome FINIS ERRATA PAg. 6. l. 7. for Interests of the crown read Interests of the crown P. 7. l. 28.
