A Copie of a Letter to his Majestie from the Lord Inchiquin May it please your most excellent Majestie WE your Majesties most humble and Loyall Subjects the Protestants of the Province of Munster doe with all humility acknowledge your Majesties speciall care towards our preservation and wee should esteeme our selves guiltie of two high an ingratitude if we should not discharge our duties to God and your sacred Majestie by acquainting you that no peace can be concluded with the Irish Rebells which will not bring unto your Majestie and the English in generall a farre greater prejudice then the shew of a peace here will bring us an advantage and since your Majestie hath shewed us so high a degree of your pious care in all things that might take from our afflictions as our Declaration doth manifest to the world those actions shew so piously in your Majestie that you have entrusted us and makes us humbly beg your Majestie that you would not so much regard so inconsiderable a handfull of people as we are as to purchase but a seeming securitie by leaving the Protestant Religion in all likelihood to be extirpated and your Majestie obnoxious to the losse of this your Kingdome Indeed it is too truly called a seeming securitie as in our Declaration which we humbly present unto your Majestie doth largely and plainly appeare as also with how much reason we have taken up armes to defend our Religion lives and your Majesties Interests and we firmely hope that our infinite wrongs and miseries will be a sufficient motive and rise for your Majestie to send unto the Parliament for the procuring of a peace in England without which we must be as speedily as unavoidably ruin'd and the Protestant Religion quite rooted out of this Kingdome We have likewise sent our humble desires to the same purpose unto the Parliament with a strong beliefe that both your Majestie and they will so seriously consider the justnesse and necessity of the Irish war that it will wringe the sword out of both your hands and imploy those armies which are likely to be destructive to the Protestant Religion for the suppressing of those bloudy enemies of the Gospell and truly when we consider how correspondent this blessed motion is with the goodnesse of your Majesties owne inclination We doe not despaire but that God which brings the greatest things to passe by the weakest meanes may through our great necessities and humble prayers restore England to that just Peace which it hath been so long deprived of But if the judgements of the Almighty are not all falne upon that Kingdome and that the just quarrell to this nation which would be farre more glorious to the English armies then the wars there is not a sufficient power to produce our agreement between your Majestie and the Parliament We doe most humbly beseech your Majestie not to give care to any that shall strive to blemish the Integritie of our proceedings since we take God to witnesse we aime at nothing but Gods glory your Majesties honour and the safetie of the English Nation And that the world may see that your Majestie beleeves us to be what really we are we humbly beg your Majestie as we have likewise done the Parliament to send us what supplies of Men Armes and Ammunition your sacred Majestie thinkes fit for a people which value not their lives and fortunes where your Majesties honour is concerned and that we may die as perfect Martyrs in the opinion of men as we are certaine all those that suffer in this cause will be in the eye of God that your sacred Majestie would be pleased to proclaime againe the Irish to be rebels and not pardon those who have committed so many barbarous crimes that they are as farre above description as they are short of honestie nay more publiquely professe they had your Majesties Commission for what they did The true sence of this divellish aspertion cast upon your Majestie with all those other reasons which we have set down in our Declaration makes us resolve to die a thousand deaths rather then to condescend to any peace with these perfidious Rebels and since death is a tribute we must all pay who will apprehend the payment of it somewhat the easier to purchase by it a Kingdome as full of glory as this is now of misery to all honest men neither is this onely the resolution of all the most considerable men amongst us but of all in generall for our gracious God hath so inspired the hearts of all the Commonaltie that they have vowed never to desert the cause that is so visibly God Almighties and we beseech the Almightie so to direct your sacred Majestie that our great miseries may through your Majesties pious furtherance beget that blessed peace in England which is so zealously praid for by Your Majesties most humble most obedient and most loyall Subjects Inchiquin Broughill Tho.

Nicholas Mynn Noble Sir SOme Councellors about the King have prevailed with him to make such an agreement with the Rebels here as leaves the interest he now has in their power whereof we find they meane to make up for the Extirpation of the English Nation and Protestant Religion out of this Kingdome and this being discovered unto us by certaine and undoubted intelligence we have given notice thereof to King and Parliament whose Assistance we have craved for our owne defence and the meane time we have turned out the Irish who we know were the Rebells confederates now we doubt the King will not approve of what we have done because the papisticall faction about him will oppose us but we are confident the Parliament will send us great supplies to follow the warre against the Irish wherefore and seeing our cause is so good we are hopefull as many forces as went from us will come to us forth with and you I must desire to come
