besieged At Ballimore where our Army lay the Lord Nevtervill had intrenched Kymkelfe in a faire Castle very strong but hearing of our comming left it and fled away And a prisoner whom we tooke there did confesse the Lord Nutervill had given order for the burning if all those Townes be for the English Army In Ballunore we found great store of Salt and there is now too much with the Rebells which they have from Galloway doe now buy it for two quarts a peny and some of them acknowledged not long since it was worth 5. pence a quart The same day some of my Lord Lamberts Regiment brought away the English were in Kilbegan Wee likewise left two small pieces at Athlove the next day my Lord Lile came from Athlove And we came to Ballimore wee found the Army gone and instantly met with Sir Richard Greenvill and his Troope who went with us to the Armie who quartered that night in the fields so we marched next day without any thing remarkable The next day we came to a place called Killmkin which place belongeth to Iudge Donellan and about 2. miles of this side we were to passe a way which lies between 2 Bogs which we found so strōgly entrēched with redouts and many strong Fortifications these works were made thinking that wee would take our way to Athalon through that part of the Countrie But comming home wee came by the back part of it And were faine to stand there at least three houres before we could cast it down to get passage through that night we were quartered in the Fields by a wood side our men got that Night at least a 1000 Cowes about Sun set wee had an Alarme there comes 2 Rogves out of the wood to Coronell Craffords quarter thinking it had beene there owne Collours so were instantly slain That night was a cruell night raining with extreme cold killed some of our men and many lies sicke in their garrisons next day we marched to Kilrock and so to Dublin The humble Declaration and Petition of the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Commons in PARLIAMENT assembled Humbly declareth THAT the Religion now professed by the Church of Rome which in fundamentall points is Antichrististian hath of late yeares extraordinarily overspread this Kingdome and hath the more encreased 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 time more then formerly extreamely swarmed in this Kingdome and whereas it evidently appeares that the said Antichristian and Hereticall Religion and the not putting of the said Lawes in execution hath as the fruits and effects thereof produced a generall confederacy 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 without any provocation given them by his sacred Majestie by the State and Government or any Acts of Protestants or any others the intending utterly to cast of the English Government and most Royall authority of our Soveraigne Lord the King and where divers of the Romish Religion have in all parts of this Kingdome since the two and twentieth day of October last inhumanely used most bloudy and unheard of barbarous Actions against the persons as well of the Clergy as of most of the Protestant Religion within their power not only 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 reproachfull manner trampling under foote the Holy Bible and disdainefully burning it and have by the said cruelties already destroyed many thousand Protestants and of those that remaine and escaped their fury most of them have beene enforced to flie into England or Scotland for reliefe or to beg the charity of well disposed people here The said Lords and Commons duely considering the Premisses and the great dishonour done to his Majesty to the English Nation and indeed to all his Majesties Kingdomes by the said most wicked Rebellion plotted and enacted by Titular Bishops Abbots Iesuits Friers Priests Monks and others of the Remish Religion doe humbly expresse their detestation thereof and their humble desire of a thorough Reformation of Religion may be had in this Kingdome to the glory of God and the honour of his Sacred Majesty and to that end humbly pray 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 doe or may run and for suppressing the usurped power and Iurisdiction of the Sea of Rome and particularly in the City of of Dublin which is now the City of Refuge for most of the distressed and dispoyled Protestants of this Kingdom who are not without just fears of imminent dangers by reason of the multitude of popish inhabitants and they doe pray that it may bee given in charge to all his Majesties Officers whom it may concerne faithfully and without delay to proceed therein and that monethly Sessions be held for that purpose in the said City of Dublin That Bills may bee forth-with transmitted into England concerning all such Lawes as are now of force there against all Iesuits Priests Eryers Monks and 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 bee needfull in that behalfe and that such necessary expressions and provisions may be therein made as may bee agreeable with the constitution of this Kingdome and may give hopefull and comfortable assurance to your Suppliants and their Posterity and to all other of the Protestant Religion who are or shall be in this Kingdome That it may not be in the power of any Governour or Governours of this Kingdom to suspend inhibite or connive at the execution of the said Laws or any of them and to this end that your Lordships who are intrusted by his Majestie with the Goverment of this Kingdome and must one day give an accompt thereof before the Tribunall of Gods Justice will give present order for performing your suppliants requests herein expressed and although since this most hideous and bloody Rebellion begun wee have some succours out of England which wee ascribe to the great mercy of God in the great wisedome and pietie of his sacred Majestie and in the carefull and chargeable indeavours of the Parliament and Kingdome of England which his Majesties grace and goodnesse wee with the duty and loyaltie of faithfull Subjects doe most humbly and thankfully acknowledge to his Koyall Majestie and doe also render to his Parliament of England hearty thankes for their said care and endeavours for us yet we find with inward sorrow and grief of heart that for want of such powerfull and speedy succour of Men money Victuall Cloathes Armes Ammunition and other requisites of Warre necessary to bee sent hither out of England this VVarre for Gods cause and the cause of his servants in this Kingdom hath hitherto had but a slow proceeding They therfore most humbly beseech your Lordships to represent to his sacred Majestie their humble desires and supplications that it may stand with his Princely pleasure that an effectuall speedy course may be taken by his Majesties high VVisdom the care of the Parliament for hasting those needfull succours which the said Lords and Commons humbly conceive have beene hitherto retarded longer they doubt and fear can well consist with the safetie of this his ancient Rightfull Crowne and Kingdome and so by the high wisdome and great goodnesse of his Majestie our great grief and sorrowes converted into joy and gladnesse Gods true Religion may be the more firmly established his Majestie in wisedome and power magnified his good Subjects comforted and his enemies and the enemies of Gods truth disapointed FINIS
