of those men And this we conceive to have been the sence of Mac Cart and Macquires confession by you cited And so his Majesty consented to the disbanding and sending back of that Army into Ireland which doubtlesse gave a great rise and contributed much to the Irish Rebellion But that his Majesty knew nothing of any such designe doth appeare by the confession of Macquire at his Execution who to use his own words did acquit the King upon his death and any other man in England except one and he but a private Gentleman who came by chance to the knowledge thereof from being guilty so much as of knowing it Concerning the first Clause of their Oath to beare true faith and Allegiance to King Charles We know that in all Rebellions the chiefe Authors and contrivers of them make faire pretences and specious Oaths to seduce the People to joyn with them in their undertakings And whereas they stile themselves the Kings or Queenes Army that was meerly to countenance the Rebellion if not also to raise farther jealousies between the King and you and to set you at farther odds that so upon your divisions in England they might with more ease carry on the Rebellion in Ireland Concerning the 40. Proclamations sent into Ireland Exact Col. p. 247 We find not that you ever so much as moved for any Proclamation against the Rebells but the first motion came from the Lords Justices of that Kingdome who also sent a draught of such a Proclamation as they conceived best for the suppressing of the Rebellion And whereas ordinarily the King never signes more then the first draught of a Proclamation fairly ingrossed in Parchment and by it Copies are printed and dispersed in Ireland as in England the Lords Justices and Counsell taking notice of the rumour spread amongst the Rebells that they had the Kings Authority for what they did desired that they might have 20. Proclamations sent over signed by the Kings Sign Manuall to the end that besides the Printed Copies which they would disperse according to custome they might be able to send an Origin all with the Kings hand to it to those considerable persons whom they might suspoct to be misled by that false rumour and who when they saw the Kings very hand would be without excuse if they persisted Whereupon the King signed double the number and for expedition of the service commanded them to be printed as is well known to some Lords now sitting in Parliament and then sitting with his Majesty in Counsell Concerning the Letters written to the Lord Muskery from Court We find not how it reflects upon his Majesty but that rather it is to be referred to the insufficiencies and uncertainties in your Declaration And concerning the Kings Letter to the Marq. of Ormond for giving perticular thanks to Muskery and Plunket we find it to be for the Professions of their endeavours to bring their Countrymen to moderation and obedience at that time when they were at Oxford employed by the Irish to his Majesty during the Cessation Of the delaying and detaining of the Earl of Leicester We find that the King often pressed you that he might be dispatched and sent away to Ireland and that in his Answer to your Petition of the 28. Ap. 1642. Exact Col. p. 144 it is one of the reasons of his resolution to go in person into Ireland because the Lord Lieftenant did not repaire to his command there Nor came he to his Majesty at York till three moneths after and when he had received his Majesties instructions there and took his leave with profession to go to Chester he went not according to promise but returned to the two Houses at London Two months after you commanded him to Chester where he stayed 3. weekes in Expectation of Ships to transport him and his Majesty hearing that he had neither Provision of Money nor any force to be sent with him but his own retinue the Regiments of Foot and Troopes of horse which had been raised for that service having been imployed against his Majesty at Edg-Hill and being still kept as a part of the Earle of Essex his Army considering that the Protestants there would have been much disheartned and the Rebells equally incouraged if the Lord Lievtenant had arrived in so private a manner therefore his Majesty sent for him to Oxford till he could receive better satisfaction from the two Houses concerning the preparations for that Kingdom Concerning the Commission for the Lord Brooke and the Lord Wharton We find that the Commission desired was to have been Independent upon his Majesties Lieftenant of that Kingdome and therefore his Majesty refused it Concerning Papists and others passed by the Kings speciall Warrant into Ireland named by you We find that Mr. Pym at a Conference with the Lords about the beginning of Feb. 1641. declared Exact Col. p. 69 71. 117 118. that after the Ports were shut by both Houses of Parliament divers Papists passed from hence by his Majesties especiall Warrant and headed the Rebells in Ireland whereof his Majesty having notice required him and you again and again to name any one person so passed by his Majesty and now in the head of the Rebells and you have not named any one to this day and so we must refer this to the uncertainties and unsufficiencies in your Declaration as also what followes concerning the Commanders and Officers called off from their trust against the Rebells and the supplies which the Rebells had by the E. of Antrim L. Aboine and others from the Queen And lastly concerning the peices of battery from hence desired by the Counsell of Ireland of all which no evidence or instance hath been offred unto us save only that the King commanded the two Ships under Capt. Kettleby Capt. Stradling to attend him at Newcastle having before given you notice thereof to take care for the guarding of that Coast all other his Majesties Ships besides those two being at that time at your disposall But we cannot but remember how the Earle of Leven sent Generall of the Scots into Ireland against the Rebells was called from thence to lead an Army into England against his Majesty And how many Officers both Scots and English left the service in Ireland and were employed by you here in England being necessitated thereto for the recovery of their Arreares which they could not obtain otherwise as Sir Richard Greenvile c. Concerning the Cloathes seized by his Majesties Souldiers We find that it was done about Coventry when that City stood out against his Majesty and we conceive you should have sent for a safe conduct for passing them through his Majesties Quarters Also we find that when his Majesty had taken Chester he sent over into Ireland 3000. suites of cloathes provided by you for that service although his own souldiers were in great want of them And now let all the world judge how much reason you had to beleeve the
