A34925	The teares of Ireland wherein is lively presented as in a map a list of the unheard off [sic] cruelties and perfidious treacheries of blood-thirsty Jesuits and the popish faction : as a warning piece to her sister nations to prevent the like miseries, as are now acted on the stage of this fresh bleeding nation / reported by gentlemen of good credit living there, but forced to flie for their lives... illustrated by pictures ; fit to be reserved by all true Protestants as a monument of their perpetuall reproach and ignominy, and to animate the spirits of Protestants against such bloody villains.	Cranford, James, d. 1657.	1642 (1642)	Wing C6824; ESTC R32373	25,594	76

to make them Confesse where there money was They have set up Gallows five miles distant in divers places on purpose to hang up the Protestant Spies which they have done accordingly they have likewise cruelly set women men one red hot Gridions to make them confess where such coyne and money and goods as they had or whether they have hid or sold any And all these cruelties are not done without the advice and animation of the Friers Priests and Jesuits and their religious men or rather Firebrands of Hell who at their Masses and their incendiary Sermons stir up the people to the committing of these Massacres promising them pardon for the same and assuring them the more merit by how much the more they exceed in their villainous cruelties they themselves being still in the first of these executions For no stratagem of warre nor other horrid action or designe whatsoever is there undertaken without them They going on with their Souldiers in the head and front of every battaile and by their mischievous advices and counsels do make them mad Tigre-like with fiercenesse and cruelty assuring them that to imbrue their hands in the bloud of us Protestants which they terme Heretikes shall adde to their merits and Canonization of Saints and gain them higher place and reward in Heaven Master Jerome Minister they basely abused who lived neere Dublin sometimes but when he was thus murthered he lived neere the Borough of Athie in the County of Kildare they hanged him then mangled his body cut off his members stopt his mouth with them then quartered him This is reported by a Citizen of Dublin now in London to beare witnesse to this Truth A Proclamation was made that neither English nor Irish should either sell or keep in their houses any powder upon the losse of goods and life except with licence and at two shillings the pound Ministers they hate and breath out cruelty against cruelty massacring their bodies burning their books and tearing them in pieces and it is likely where they can light on them they use them accordingly Hauing rauished Virgens Wifes they take there Children dase there braines against the Walls in sight of there weepinge Parents after destrored them likewise Mr Ierome Minister of Brides his Body mangled his members cut of They rob all English Protestants stripping them stark naked and so turn them into the open fields and mountaines in frost and snow where hundreds have perished They destroy the English breed of Cattel out of malice to the Protestants that the poore dumbe creatures fare the worse and are spoiled though one of ours is worth foure of theirs They have cut off mens privy members and stopt their mouthes with them like cruell savage beasts that they might commit such horrid villanies without noyse and lest their pittilesse bowels might be moved with the cryes of those so cruelly massacred Protestants At Waterford some poore Protestants ready to be starved came to the Towne for reliefe and their charity threw them some bread over the wall it is likely the Dogs should have had the same entertainment The Papists curse the Jesuites and Friers that have beene the cause of all this this gives hopes their Kingdome being divided cannot stand These bloudy Papists forced the Protestants to pull off their clothes and then killed them on purpose that they might have their clothes without holes After they had knocked a man down dead they fearing he might counterfeit they doe run their swords twenty times into his bodie lest hee might revive again They have stripped Ladies and Gentlewomen Virgins both old and yong stark naked turning them into the open fields Many hundreds have bin found dead in ditches with cold and want of food and rayment esteeming them no better then Dogs They labour what they can to make death appear more dreadfull then it is in it selfe they hang up Husband Kindred Children before the faces of their living wives and tender mothers ready to dye for griefe a death worse then death it self and this they do on purpose to increase their dolorous paine and anguish They have forced as is reported some to turn to their cursed bloudy Religion and then perswaded them that they were fittest to die and then treacherously kill their bodies and do what in them lies to damne their souls Debtors basely murdering their Creditors Tenants sheathing their swords in their Landlords bowels servants unnaturally slaying their Masters others possessing themselves of their lands goods plates money jewels houshold-stuffe corn and cattle and thrust them out of doores naked Oh inhumane crueltie Many great mens servants being Irish ran away from their Masters with their best Horses to the Rebels Many of the Protestants usually took into their houses Irish boys as Servants and those did basely betray their Masters like Judas into the hands of these bloudy Wolves A good caveat to look to our servants before we take them and to instruct them in the feare of God when we have Others they have wounded to death and then left them languishing their bellies being ript up guts issuing out they poore wretches lying on Dunghils see the charity of cruell Papists all this lest they should be out of their misery too soon It seems it was their delight to linger out their cruelties like men that wanted Bowels for whereas the primitive persecutions were

for the poore distressed people that came hither thousands are thus fled into Dublin many hundreds starved to death with hunger and cold the poore Citizens relieve them beyond their abilities the
