A82658	A declaration of the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament, concerning the present lamentable, and miserable condition of Ireland, the poore Protestants in some places being forced to kill their horses to satisfie their hunger, and very many others having perished by famine. With some sad and serious motives propounded by both houses, to all pious and well affected Englishmen for their speedy reliefe, a thing earnestly to be intended considering what courses are now set on foot at Oxford, for bringing those barbarous rebels into this kingdom. Whereunto are added, the severall propositions made by the committees of the House of Commons, and the committee of adventurers chosen in London out of the body of the adventurers, and ratified by the House, for the more perfect incouragement of all that wish well to the generall cause of religion, the relieving of the Protestant brethren in Ireland, and the safety of this state and kingdome.

Parliament wherein both Houses of Parliament intend to shew that good example which they hope all others will follow For what may bee advanced by way of adventure it is already provided in a late Ordinance of Parliament that all new Adv●nturers shall receive the same Advantages granted to the form●r in the Act of Parliament for the Adven●urers of Ireland and in the same Ordinance provision is made for the security of all such as shall voluntarily lend to so pious a Worke All which Monies now proposed to bee advanced shall onely have their aspect forwards without consideration of former ar●ea●s and bee disposed of with all possible c●re to the best advantage of this present Summers service And for what hath beene formerly raised to that purpose it shall most evidently ap●ea●e to all the World that it hath beene with a great overplus disposed of for the use of Ireland And that all aspersions of that nature cast upon the Parliament have beene but the malitious pretences of disaffected persons to excuse their own backwardnesse and dishearten such as desire to prevent the ruine of our Religion which we hope by our cordiall and seasonable indeavours may spéedily be prevented and this Warre soone brought to a happy conclusion And herein the concurrence of most of the Officers of that Kingdome administers great encouragement who are desirous so well they affect that worke to underwrite the one halfe of their Arreares due by way of Adventure for Land and also take the one halfe of what shall grow due and is to come likewise on the Condition of the Subscribers at the reducing of that Kingdome desiring onely to subsist untill the worke be finished We have so just reason upon these many and convincing grounds to be sensible of the extraordinary Care and pious Intentions of the well affected Party in this Kingdome as we must not or cannot doubt of their ready Zeale in the setting forward of so Pious so Charitable a worke wherein the Religion we professe lies at the stake and the lives of so many thousand of our poore Protestant brethren are in apparent danger unlesse by present reliefe their approaching ruine be timely prevented nor can we well expect that God will long blesse us if we be wanting to our brethren whose preservation is so immediately linked to our owne safety that we have much cause to suspect this Kingdome is much indangered when we have once absolutely lost that of Ireland For such is the malice of the Rebels to our Nation that if they once root us out of that Kingdome th●y will not despaire by themselves and their Confederates wholly to extirpate both us and our Religion out of the Christian World For remedy whereof in so much as the generall waies observed on the last Act of Contribution hath not procured such meanes of reliefe as are necessaty though divers both Persons and Parishes have been very bountifull severall of that Kingdome with others are therefore directed to solicite the businesse by such particular applications as may be hoped in a wor●…e so earnestly crying for reliefe will beget competent supplies for giving that Kingdome a being and in all likelihood preserving this from finall undoing which as it must be acknowledged to the already Contributers so is and shall be estéemed by those who hereafter put hand to the worke as a most acceptable seruice to this and that Kingdome These things considered we desire that all well affected people would heartily apply themselves to prevent such mischiefe by chearefull contributing to so Pious a worke which will be an Act in the esteeme of all the world very commendable and extreamely acceptable to God and all good men Die Lunae 19o.

FOr as much as many both Adventurers for Land in Ireland and others are willing to apply themselves by all good meanes for bringing that great good worke to some perfection well knowing what consequence the losse of that Kingdome will be to this both in relation to the security and firme peace of the State and also in respect of the Cause of Religion which must be deepely wounded in case that

Kingdome should become wholy Popish And for as much as the Subscriptions upon the severall Acts of Parliament doe not ingage a third part of the Land designed to be applied to that work by those Acts and that the time limited for underwriting by those Acts is elapsed We being desirous to make up what was wanting in the former Subscriptious in some proportion to our Abilities doe humbly offer That both Houses of Parliament will give such incouragement as may induce those who are Merchants and live on Trades to adventure Considerable Summes by passing an Ordinance in these following or the like particulars That so much of the City and Suburbs of Limbricke as is Escheated with the Island of Enishcattery and the fishings of the River with other immunities belonging to the City and Twenty foure Thousand Acres of Confiscated Profitable Land next contiguous to that City may be secured to the Adventurers who shall now underwrite the said City and Land being made over to them their heirs c. in free and common soccage as of his Majesties Castle of Dublin with such Immunities as are graunted to the City of Bristoll and such other Priviledges as be contained in the Acts of Parliament for Subscriptions on Lands in Ireland Provided the severall Summes to be underwritten doe amount in the Totall unto Sitty Thousand Pounds there being reserved to his Majesty for the same the Yearely rent of one Thousand two Hundred and Fifty Pounds per Annum That the Towne of Galloway in Connaught with Twenty Thousand Acres of Land and Immunities as abovesaid shall be secured unto such as adventure for that City and Land provided That the totall of the subscriptions amount unto Fifty Thousand Pounds his Majesties Rent one Thousand and Forty pounds That the City of Waterford in Munster with thirty Thousand Acres of Land and Immunities as aforesaid shall be secured to such as adventure for that City and Land Provided the totall of their Subscriptions amounts unto Sixtie Thousand Pounds the Rent to his Majesty per Annum one Thousand two Hundred and Fifty Pounds That the Towne of Wexford with twelve Thousand Acres of Land and Immunities as aforesaid shall be secured to such as adventure for that Towne and Land Provided the totall of their Subscriptions amount unto Fifteene Thousand Pounds the Rent to his Majesty per Annum three Hundred and twelve Pounds eight Shillings eight Pence And seeing the course of passing Bills is so much obstructed that the Kingdome of Ireland will be lost if some effectuall and speedy course be not taken The Adventurers desire to be secured that such Conditions as shall be now past by Ordinance shall be turned into an Act or Acts of Parliament for their more fit and unquestionable security which they humbly conceive will much further the worke That those who have or shall underwrite any considerable Summe upon the said Propositions for Cities and have formerly adventured or shall underwrite for Lands in the Kingdome at large shall be accomodated to have his Lands set out as neere unto those Cities for which he shall subscribe as may be And in case the respective Summes whereat the said Cities Townes and said Lands adjacent are valued be not wholy underwritten yet the underwriters shall have so much in proportion out of those Cities Townes and Lands adjacent as their adventure shall amount unto to be set forth by indifferent Commissioners to be Named by both Houses THe House doth allow of these Propositions And it is Ordered that the House will apply their Authority for making good of the same H.
