A61340	The state of Ireland, with a vindication of the Act of Settlement and commissioners proceedings, &c. also, reflections on the late Coventry-letter writ by an eminent councellor of that kingdom, wherein the said author endeavours to prove, that it was not for murther, nor rebellion, but religion that the Irish estates were sequestred by the forementioned act / by a person of honour.	Person of honour.	1688 (1688)	Wing S5301; ESTC R22558	20,095	100

a_o defence_n of_o the_o present_a settlement_n in_o ireland_n by_o a_o letter_n pretend_v to_o be_v write_v from_o coventry_n date_v the_o 26_o of_o october_n 1686._o and_o several_a other_o paper_n which_o have_v be_v careful_o disperse_v by_o some_o person_n who_o seem_v disaffect_v that_o the_o british_a be_v possess_v of_o so_o many_o estate_n former_o belong_v to_o irish_a proprietor_n and_o with_o the_o present_a state_n of_o affair_n it_o be_v apparent_a that_o there_o be_v those_o that_o endeavour_n as_o much_o as_o in_o they_o lie_v to_o break_v the_o settlement_n of_o that_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n from_o which_o his_o late_a majesty_n reap_v more_o profit_n than_o all_o his_o ancestor_n before_o he_o ever_o receive_v from_o that_o island_n and_o england_n have_v be_v ease_v of_o those_o great_a expense_n of_o blood_n and_o treasure_n that_o the_o frequent_a rebellion_n of_o that_o kingdom_n do_v former_o occasion_n and_o although_o i_o do_v not_o imagine_v that_o any_o suggestion_n how_o confident_o soever_o ●●serted_v will_v be_v able_a to_o divert_v our_o sovereign_n from_o the_o rule_n of_o justice_n or_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o crown_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o reasonable_a for_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o to_o who_o that_o share_n i_o have_v in_o ireland_n may_v come_v to_o set_v down_o what_o i_o know_v of_o that_o settlement_n while_o

to_o enjoy_v and_o defend_v it._n i_o intend_v no_o reflection_n upon_o any_o particular_a person_n nor_o can_v i_o without_o trouble_n mention_v the_o sad_a accident_n which_o happen_v between_o the_o year_n 1640._o and_o 1660._o in_o ireland_n be_v i_o not_o force_v to_o it_o i_o shall_v esteem_v it_o indecent_a to_o use_v the_o term_n irish_a rebellion_n but_o it_o be_v now_o make_v necessary_a let_v the_o blame_v therefore_o lie_v on_o he_o that_o give_v the_o occasion_n however_o i_o shall_v not_o offer_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o i_o know_v or_o have_v good_a reason_n to_o believe_v true_a and_o no_o more_o of_o that_o neither_o than_o be_v pertinent_a the_o question_n then_o be_v whether_o it_o be_v reasonable_a at_o this_o time_n to_o break_v the_o settlement_n of_o ireland_n the_o justice_n of_o it_o will_v first_o fall_v under_o consideration_n in_o the_o next_o place_n suppose_v some_o objection_n may_v have_v be_v make_v to_o the_o settlement_n at_o first_o whether_o at_o this_o time_n they_o can_v be_v just_o hearken_v to_o last_o i_o shall_v make_v some_o observation_n on_o the_o coventry-letter_n and_o the_o pamphlet_n from_o which_o the_o author_n of_o that_o letter_n derive_v many_o of_o his_o argument_n call_v a_o narrative_a of_o the_o sale_n and_o settlement_n of_o ireland_n to_o prove_v the_o settlement_n just_o which_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o forfeiture_n of_o a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o land_n of_o that_o kingdom_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v a_o rebellion_n in_o ireland_n which_o begin_v the_o 23d_o of_o october_n 1641._o and_o that_o almost_o general_a i._n first_o for_o this_o i_o shall_v offer_v as_o the_o best_a proof_n that_o can_v be_v produce_v several_a act_n of_o parliament_n as_o the_o four_o act_n of_o parliament_n pass_v in_o england_n 17_o 0._o car._n i._n where_o this_o rebellion_n be_v declare_v in_o the_o judgement_n of_o that_o parliament_n so_o general_a that_o
