Remonstrance FROM THE LORDS AND COMMONS Assembled in PARLIAMENT at DUBLIN concerning the Estate of IRELAND The barbarousnesse of the bloody Rebels and a Protestation of their Complyance with the Power of England for reducing of that Kingdome This Remonstrance is appointed to be printed and publishe according to the directions of an ORDER of PARLIAMENT DVBLIN Printed by William B●●den Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majesty Anno Dom. 1646. The humble REMONSTRANCE OF THE LORDS and COMMONS in PARLIAMENT Assembled at DUBLIN HUmbly declaring that the Religion now professed by the Church of Roome which in fundamentall points is Antichristian and hereticall hath of late yeares extraordinarily over-spread this Kingdome and hath the more increased by the forbearing to put in execution the wholsome Lawes and Statutes of force in this Kingdome against Recusants and others of the Romish-Religion who have of late times more then formerly extreamely swarmed in this Kingdome And whereas it evidently appeares that the s●id Anchristian and hereticall Religion and the not putting the said Lawes in execution hath as the fruits and effects thereof produced a generall confederacie of the Papists in this Kingdome to destroy and extirpe the Protestant Religion and all English Scottish and Irish in this Kingdome-professing the same wherein they have actually proceeded to execrable cruelties with out any prevocation give them by His sacred Majesty by the State or Government or any acts of the Protestants or any others they intending utterly to cast of the English Government and most royall Authority of our Soveraign Lord the King And where divers of the Romish Religion have in all parts of this Kingdome inhumanely used most bloody and unheard of barbarous cruelties against the persons as well of the Clergie as of most of the Protestant Religion within their power not onely while life lasted but even after death digging some of them out of their graves cutting them in peeces and casting them into ditches defiling of Churches and setting up the abominable Idoll of the Masse in stead of Gods true worship and service and in scornefull and reproach●ull manner trampleing under foote the holy Bible and disdainfully burning it have by their said cruelties already destroyed many thousand Protestants and of those that remaine and escaped their fury most of them have been enforced to flye into England or Scotland for reliefe or to beg the Charitie of well disposed people here The said Lords and Commons duly considering the premises and the great dishonour done to God to his Majesty to the English Nation and indeed to all His Majesties Kingdomes by the said most wicked Rebellion plotted and acted by titulary Bishops Abbots Jesuits Friars Priests Moncks and others of the Romish Religion do humbly expresse their det●stati●n thereof that though reformation of Religion may be had in this Kingdome to the glorie of God and the honour of His sacred Majestie and to that end p●ay that a present and effectuall course may be taken for putting in Execution the Lawes and Statutes of force in this Kingdome against Recusants and all others of the Popish pretended Religion in all parts of this Kingdome where the Lawes do or may run and for suppressing the usurped power and jurisdiction of the Sea of Roome and particulare in the Citie of Dublin which is now the Citie of refuge for most of the distressed dis-poiled Protestants of this Kingdome who yet are not without just feares of eminent dangers by reason of the multitude of Popish Inhabitants And they do pray that it may be given in Charge to all His Majesties Officers whom it may concerne faithfull and without delay to proceede therein and that monthly Sessions be held for that purpose in the said Citie of Dublin that Bills may forthwith be transmitted into England containing all such Lawes as are now in force there against all Iesuits Priests Fryers Monks and all other superstitious orders and societies of the Popish pretended Clergy and their Relievers and against Recusants and other Papists to be enacted in this Kingdome And such further Lawes as are or shall be needfull in that behalfe that such necessary expressions and provisions may be therein made as may be agreeable with the constitutions of this Kingdom and may give hopefull and comfortable assurance to your supplicants and their posterity and to all others of the Protestant Religion who are or shall be in this Kingdome That it may not be in the power of any Governor or Governours of this Kingdom to suspend inhibit or connive at the execution of the said Lawes or any of them and to this end that your Lordships were intrusted by His Majesty with the Government of this Kingdome and must one day give an account thereof before the tribunall of Gods justice will give present order for performing your supplicants requests herein expressed and although since this most hideous and most bloody rebellions began we have had some succours out of England which we ascribe to the mercy of God in the great wisdome and piety of his sacred Majesty and in the carefull and charitable endeavours of the Parliament and Kingdome of England with His Majesties grace and goodnesse we with the duty and loyalty of faithfull Subjects do most humbly and thankfully acknowledge to His royall Majesty and do also render to his Parliament of England most hearty thankes for their said care and endeavour for us yet we find with inward sorrow and griefe of heart that for want of such powerfull and speedy succours of men money Victualls Clothes Armes Ammunition and other requisites of warre necessary to be sent hither out of England This warre for Gods cause and the cause of his servants in this Kingdome hath hitherto had but a slow proceeding They therefore most humbly beseech your Lordships to represent to his sacred Majesty their humble desires and supplication that it may stand with his Princely pleasure that an effectuall and speedy course may be taken by His Majesties high wisdome and the care of the Par●●●ment for the hasting of those needfull su●cours which the said Lords and Commo●●● humbly conceive have been hitherto ●●tarded longer they doubt and feare the● can well consist with the safety of this hi● ancient Rightfull Crowne and Kingdome and so by the high wisdome and gre●● goodnesse of his Majesty our great grief●● and sorrowes converted unto joy and gladnesse Gods true Religion may be more firmly established His Majesty in wisdom● and power magnified his good Subiects comforted and his enemies and the enemies of Gods truth disappointed To the Right Honourable the Lord Lieutenant and the Lords Justices and Councell Copia vera ex per Phil Ferneles Cler. parl Dom.
