Debts which must encrease daily but have always some of those who lie under the same Calamity upon me Whose wants being more pressing than my own I will not I cannot deny their sharing my Bread with me while I have any to put into my own head I am charged with the Cheating the young Men as Sir R is pleased familiarly to call them and the hindring the payment of the 15000 l. I will account to the young Men for the first and the Gentry of Ireland for the second And not trouble the Reader with a Justification as to them who are so far from accusing me that they know I want no Defence But however for fear of injuring my lesser Proposal by grasping at the Power of a General I will tell the Reader all that ever I heard or know concerning the matter of Cadets And 't is this At the time that I delivered my Proposals to my Lord President in which I offered in the name of several Gentlemen of Munster to accept of the Foot-service rather than be unemployed I mentioned to his Lordship That if His Majesty seemed enclined to entertain the Proposal but should make it his choice that the Regiment should be Foot He would give me leave to desire in order to the carrying over most of the Munster Men together where there were so many Gentlemen of very good Quality all of whom could not be Officers and some would be unwilling to carry Muskets That there might be a few added to each Company with double Pay which for One hundred would have amounted but to Twenty-five Shillings a day at the Pay we were to serve for who as the Cadets in France might be ready to fill up any Vacancies by the loss of Officers in the same Regiment That I would endeavour to procure this and I hoped it would be granted if the Proposal were accepted was the utmost that I ever promised on this occasion And for the truth of this I refer my self to those Gentlemen not to mention the sencelesness of my promising there should be Cadets when I could pretend to no assurance of having a Regiment I never said that I had a better Pretence to a Regiment than others of Ireland here But if I had not thought that I might probably have been capable of doing Their Majesties Service with it I should not in the Sixty-fourth Year of my Age when the Reports of the Posture of Affairs in Ireland were very unpromising have offered my self to a Winter-Campaign and upon Terms so much more easie than others serve for 'T would be an Objection indeed to be beaten by a Clergy-man if true not altogether upon the Account of the Cowardice of it for I think I need not mind the Reader that a worthy Gentleman of that Character has very lately given such proofs that Courage is not peculiar to the Laity as may make it neither a Reproach or matter of wonder to be out-done in Soldiery by one of that Coat but that I should have done any thing to deserve it Sir R. B. is no Clergy-man so I am sure 't was none of he that did or will 〈◊〉 undertake it However the matter of fact being absolutely false I must desire Sir R. to take the Scurrilous that goes before it to himself But now I come to a very considerable Objection My being a Justice of the Peace and Deputy-Lieutenant in the time of King James the Second nay at the time of His present Majesty's Arrival at Windsor Of which I will give the following short Account referring the Reader to the Letter from his Grace the Duke of Norfolk printed at the end of this Paper for further satisfaction During the life of my Brother Sir Alan Brodrick my Name was inserted in the Commission of the Peace but I never would act we both living in the same Town so that there was no need of it and thereupon my Name was for some time omitted He dying some years before the Death of the late King Charles the Second upon the Application of all the Gentlemen then upon the Bench without my Privity I was not onely put again into Commission but the Oath of a Justice was tendred me before I knew of my being so So I continued with Company that I am very proud of till the time that the Questions went about Immediately after which I with that Company was left out My Answers to those Questions will justifie me That I neither was a Tool to serve a Turn in those times nor courted my Interest to the Prostitution of my Conscience To have made a general Answer of No Toleration had been easily passed over and such an one as would have humoured the Interest then carrying on by making the Repeal of All Penal Laws the common concern of All Dissenters But at that time to distinguish between the Protestant and Popish ones as I did to say That I should endeavour the Allowance of Ease to the former which I thought the doing to the other would be inconsistent with the Safety of the Government will I believe with unprejudiced Men clear me so much from the imputation of a Knavish Compliance that I rather fear it will be censured as a Fool-hardiness and a needless provoking a Prince whose Resentments were known to run very high Especially in me whose Concerns in Ireland subjected me to more sensible effects of his Displeasure than others who had the good Fortune to have their Lots fall in England From that time till the dreadful News of His Majesty's Expedition I was out of Commission then when Mis-managements were publickly acknowledged and all things promised to be restored to their former state Orders were given for renewing all Commissions and restoring the Gentlemen lately put out which was done accordingly and I amongst them Yet even then at a Meeting of those Gentlemen long before His Majesty landed we unanimously agreed not to act while one Man whose compliance with the Questions had qualified him for the New Commission or who had asserted or acted under the Dispensing Power was left in the Commission Affairs of greater importance it seems took up their time so that the Commission was not altered nor did one of us act This is the true state of this matter and I defie the Malice of the worst of Mankind to charge me in the whole time of my being employed with one dishonest Action or the doing any thing unbefitting a Gentleman And now I will leave the Reader to judge between Sir R. B. and me as to this part There is nothing else positively affirmed of me but that I had no Plantations in Ireland to lose which I would not have taken Notice of but to let the Reader see that one word of truth is not to be expected from him with relation to me How positive soever he is in it 't is a thing which he could no ways know for I dare say he will never pretend to have been upon
