Irish whiles the Brittish forces here had bin thereupon called off and the place therin laid open and as it were given up to the common enemie It is what your Lordship might have observed in your former Treatie with the Rebels that upon your Lordships thereupon withdrawing and sending hence into England the most considerable part of the English army then commanded by you thereby was the remaining Brittish party not long after over-poured and your quarters by the Irish over-run to the gates of Dublin your self also reduced to that low condition as to be besieged in this very Citie the Metropolis and princpall cittadell of the Kingdom and that by those very Rebels who till then could never stand before you and what the end hath bin of that party also so sent by your Lordship into England although the flower strength of the English army here both officers and souldiers hath bin very observable And how much the dangers are at present more then in former ages of hazarding the English interest in this Kingdom by sending any parties hence into any other Kingdom upon any pretences whatsoever is very apparent as in the generalitie of the Rebellion now more then formerly So considering your Lordships present conclusions with and concessions to the Rebels wherein they are allowed the continued possession of all the cities forts and places of strength whereof they stood possessed at the time of their Treatie with your Lordship and that they are to have a standing force if I well remember of 15000 foot and 2500 horse all of their own party officers and souldiers and they with the whole kingdom to be regulated by a Major party of Irish Trustees chosen by the Rebels themselves as persons for their interests and ends to be by them confided in without whom nothing is to be acted Therein I cannot but mind your Lordship of what hath been sometimes by your self delivered as your sence in this particular that the English interest in Ireland must be preserved by the English and not by Irish and upon that ground if I be not deceived did your Lordship then capitulate with the Parliament of England from which cleer principle I am sorrie to see your Lordship now receding As to that by your Lordship menaced us here of blood and force if dissenting from your Lordships waies and designes for my particular I shall my Lord much rather chuse to suffer in so doing for therein shall I doe what is becomming and answerable to my trust then to purchase my self on the contrary the ignominious brand of perfidie by any allurements of whatsoever advantages offered me But very confident I am of the same divine power which hath still followed me in this work and will still folllow me and in that trust doubt I nothing of thus giving your Lordship plainly this my resolution in that particular So I remain Dublin March 14. 1648. Your Lordships humble servant Signed Mic Jones For the Lord of Ormond these By the Lord Lieutenant Generall of Ireland Ormond WHereas our late Soveraign King Charles of happie memory hath bin lately by a party of his rebellious Subjects of England most traiterously maliciously and inhumanely put to death and murthered and forasmuch as his Majestie that now is Charles by the grace of God King of England Scotlana France and Ireland is son and heir of his said late Majestie and therefore by the Laws of the Land of force and practised in all ages is to inherit We therefore in discharge of the dutie we owe unto God our allegiance and loyaltie to our Soveraign holding it fit him so to proclaim in and through this his Majesties Kingdome doe by this our present proclamation declare and manifest to the world that Charles the second son and heir of our late Soveraign King Charles the first of happy memory is by the grace of God the undoubted King of England Scotland France and Ireland Defender of the Faith c. Given at Carrick Febr. 26. 1648. God save the King A NECESSARY REPRESENTATION of the present evills and eminent dangers to Religion Lawes and Liberties arising from the late and present practises of the Sectarian party in England together with an Exhortation to duties relating to the Covenant unto all within our Charge and to all the well-affected within this Kingdome by the Presbytery at Belfast February 15th 1649. WHen we doe seriously consider the great and many duties which we owe unto God and his people over whom he hath made us Overseers and for whom we must give an accompt and when wee behold the laudable Examples of the worthy Ministers of the Province of London and of the Commissioners of the Generall Assembly of the Church of Scotland in their free and faithfull testimonies against the insolencies of the Sectarian party in England Considering also the dependency of this Kingdome upon the Kingdome of England and remembring how against strong oppositions we were assisted by the Lord the last yeare in discharge of the like dutie and how he punished the Contempt of our warning upon the despisers thereof We finde our selves as necessitated so the more encouraged to cast in our Mite in the treasury least our silence should involve us in the guilt of unfaithfulnesse and our People in security and neglect of duties In this discharge of the trust put upon us by God we would not be looked upon as sowers of sedition or broachers of Nationall and divisive motions our record is in heaven that nothing is more hatefull unto us nor lesse intended by us and therefore we shall not feare the malicious and wicked aspersions which we know Satan by his Instruments is ready to cast not onely upon us but on all who sincerely endeavour the advancement of Reformation What of late have been and now are the insolent and presumptuous practises of the Sectaries in England is not unknowne to the world For first notwithstanding their specious pretences for Religion and Liberties yet their late and present actings being therewith compared doe clearly evidence that they love a rough garment to deceive since they have with a high hand despised the Oath in breaking the Covenant which is so strong a foundation to both whilest they loaden it with slighting reproaches calling it a Bundle of particular and contrary Interests and a Snare to the people and likewise labour to establish by Lawes an Universall Toleration of all Religions which is an Innovation over-turning of Unity in Religion and so directly repugnant to the word of God the two first Articles of our Solemne Covenant which is the greatest wickednesse in them to violate since many of the chiefest of themselves have with their hands testified to the most high God sworne and sealed it Moreover their great dis-affection to the Settlement of Religion and so their future breach of Covenant doth more fully appeare by their strong oppositions to Presbyteriall Government the hedge and Bulwarke of Religion whilest they expresse their hatred
