although her love and her indulgence tovvards her children vvas thus excessive yet it vvas no vvayes 〈◊〉 fond one but tempered vvith so much severitie as she vvould never vvinâ— at anie of their

Her love and affection vvhich vvas thus fervent to her husband and children vvas nothing remisse to her other relations especiallie to her parents and tvvo btothers but as intire and as greate as could be expected of a person of so much grace and goodnes This made heâ— lay verie much to hearâ— the death of her eldest brother VVilliam Dungan vvho hauing had the command for thâ— space of a yeare

vvhich she took in me and her child had not sustained her till other and sublimer considerations of submitting to Gods vvill and taking all patienlie at his hands could take place in her distressed mind But as it had afflicted her verie much that the desolate estate of Ireland and the exigence of my affaires had necessitated me to bring her avvay from Dublin in the beginning of the yeare 1644. and thereby to separate her at a greate distance as from the rest of her friends and kindred vvho all vvere exceeding sorrie to part vvith her so from her deare Parents vvhere-unto neverthelesse she submitted vvillinglie and vvithout repining as knovving that my resolution to be â—â—ounded on unansvvereâ—â—le reasons so she did â—â—cessivelie long after â—â—e death of her brother â—â—d mother more yet â—â—an ever before to reâ—rne into Ireland for 〈◊〉 be a comfort to her â—ood father in that sad â—â—nelynesse vvhere-unto â—hat grievous double â—osse had reduced him â—or she loved him as much as ever child loved a father not onelie â—ut of a naturall instinct as he vvas her father but upon the consideration that he had ever been a most loving and most indulgent father to her and that as he had put her into the vvorld so he had had a singular care together vvith the mother a vvoman of a most sanctified mind and conversation to bring her up in the feare of God and in the true Religion and vvithall had never spared anie paines or costs on her for to â—â—ve her the verie best â—eeding that the counâ—â—e could afford and to â—ave her thoroughlie inâ—â—ructed in all those quaâ—â—ties that are anie vvayes â—â—quisite for the making-â—p of a most compleate â—entlevvoman viz perâ—ect skill in all kind of â—eedlevvork the french â—anguage dauncing muâ—ick the lute and other â—nstruments And her desire of returning to her father on the said â—rounds beeing so full of pietie and reason I vvould long since have accomplished it if the publicK condition of Ireland and the conveniency of mine ovvne affaires vvould in anie vvise have given vvay to it VVhich she perfectlie vvell knovving and that it vvas not vvant of good vvill that hindered me from giving her satisfaction in this particular she strove to content herselfe the best she could and to console her â—nging vvith these hoâ—es that the same lets â—vhich hindered us for â—he present from returâ—ing to Dublin vvould â—ot last alvvayes but that â—he times mending she vvould yet goe back to â—reland and there be a stay and comfort to her good father all the remainder of his dayes But it hath pleased God to dispose othervvise of it and in her to deprive him as vvell as me of the chiefest ioy that vvee had in this vvorld XII As she esteemed it her greatest happines that God had done her the grace to call her to the knovvledge of his saving truth and to the assured hopes of everlasting blisse by making her a christian of the Reformed Religion and that reallie and sincerely not in outvvard profession onely for vvhich she gave dailie most heartie thanks unto his Divine Majestie so she accounted it one of her greatest temporall blessings to be of a good extraction And that indeed vvas as good as anie could be under the degree of nobilitie the Dungans of vvhich house her father Thomas Dungan Iustice of the Court of Common Pleas at Dublin is a younger brother beeing of the auncientest and best gentrie of Ireland and allied not onelie vvith most of the prime gentrie of the Pale as the Talbots the Rocheforts the Ashpooles the VVogans etc. but even vvith severall Noble houses And as

Lemingthon in the â—ountie of Glocester having alvvayes subsisted verie honourablie and been reckoned among the best houses of that countrie And she set so high a value upon this qualitie that if it had been possible for her to forgoe vvhat nature and her birth had given her she vvould not have accepted of the vvealth and splendour of a Princesse on condition of not beeing borne a gentlevvoman Yet for all this no bodie did or could more than she despise a gentleman or gentlevvoman vvhose qualities and actioÌ„s vvere not correspondent to their extraction and not onelie vice and vvickednes
