with the progeny of the Babilonish whore Mrs. Fullerton with two children and great with child came to the Newry after eight months imprisonment with sevenscore women and children in her company her selfe having not to hide her nakednesse nor no thing to keepe her feet from the ground but two pieces of a raw cow hide tied upon her feet with pieces of packthred and what was more miserable she was constrayned to leave two of her children upon the mountaines to the mercy of their Fathers murtherers judge now you that tie your lives upon the prosperity of your infants of the agonies of this distressed Gentlewoman which made me call to mind that mination of God Deut. 28 56.57 The tender and delicate woman amongst you which never would venter to set the sole of her foot on the ground for the softnesse and tendernesse shall be grieved at her husband that lieth in her bosome and at her sonne and at her daughter and at her after birth that shall come out between her feet and at her

Minister of Maharafelt was after long imprisonment and extream hard usage the Lord having given him the bread of teares and ashes to drinke he being an aged and reverend Gentleman was most cruelly murthered at Lievetenant Thurshies in the County of London-Derry the Lievetenant and his wife being both Recusants could not by any meanes or intreaties eyther save or respite him from death such favour found the English Papists amongst the Irish and such finde the English revolters with the Spaniard between whom is as great correspondence as between the Scotch and French Nations Mr. Hudson Minister or Desert Martin after many troubles and calamities was taken from betweene two fetherbeds out of Mr. Chappels house where that vertuous Gentle woman had long fed and concealed him but at length the Rebels gave a date to her charity to him and to his life for the Rebels in a most cruell and most barbarous maner murthered him Mr. Campion of Kilowen being at the battell of Ballemony which the English in regard of the fatability of the day call Blacke-Friday having received a great overthrow which in all possibility had beene the losse of Colerane and a dismall day to all the poore Protestants within it had not God infatuated eyther the wisedome or daunted the courage of those Rebels under the command of Colkittoes sonnes there did this Gentleman seale his love to the Gospel with his bloud like Zuinglius in the head of his Company honourably expiring amongst his slaughtered Brethren In the same cause and maner was slaine a Scottish Minister whose name I cannot remember though I was then in the same County who tooke his leave and shewed his love to the cause in which to their honours that Nation is forwardly zealous under the command of Colonel Archibald Steward late Agent to the Earle of Antrym Mr. Tudge Minister of the Newry after long imprisonment and many perfidious promises from the Lord Magenis Sir Con Magenis Governour of the Newry and the rest was with thirteene more under a pretence to be exchanged for other prisoners at Downe-Patricke cruelly put to death of which none but one Greene a Tapster to Mr. Butterfield of the Newry escaped ransoming his life for forty shillings this Greene brought me this Relation in May 1642. and as they were leading to their slaughter the poore Gentleman called upon Sir Con Magenis for mercy and performance of his promise but the perfidious tyrant stopped his eares to his and their complaints upon which Mr. Tudge in the bitternes of his soul desired God to require his bloud at their hands with these words of the Psalmist Judge and revenge my cause O Lord then he with his fellow Martyrs taking the Communion in a little running water in stead of the bloud and a piece of an oaten strowen in stead of the body of their Saviour commending themselves and their vile bodies into his hands that was able to translate them into glory yeelded their lives to the stroke of the bloudy executioners by whom he was hanged but Lievtenant Trever and his wife with some of the rest which were divers were cut to pieces Soone after as all the English Inhabitants of that place often affirmed Sir Con Magenis was by the strange judgement of God strucken with a strong frenzy running home to his owne house on foot the Lord taught him by the way as Gideon taught the men of Succoth and Penuel his clothes and skin being justly torne by the bushes and briers in those uncouth wayes his madnesse made choyce of raving on his death bed Take away Tudge take away Tudge doe you not see how hee pursues me for his bloud in which desperate condition he died Thus God made this Rebell and mercilesse beast by the lash of his Divine Justice acknowledge his transgression in taking away the lives of the innocent The same Sir Con having besides innumerable other murthers at one time betweene Greene Castle and Carlingford drowned sixty and eight Protestants to which he had promised quarter affirmed by Mr. Holland who with some others in a boat miraculously escaped to Dublin at that time by which meanes he and the rest escaped from tasting Sir Cons holy water Mr. Hastings Minister endowed into a
