Ormond who seemed to be much troubled that the treaty took no effect professing the only cause thereof to be the want of the Kings assent which he said he hoped to gain desiring to have it so presented to the Parlia that he might acquaint the Parliament and the Commissioners then going for Be●fast with the Kings Answer and lest letters should be intercepted by the Rebels there was a Cipher agreed on which was known to severall of the Commissioners when it was delivered and of which the said Sir Iohn minded the other Commissioners at Belfast after their arrivall there and before any thing was written by the same from the Lo. of Or●mond And about a fortnight afterwards the Lord of Ormond by the meanes of one Captain Ward conveyed a little open paper in cypher directed to the said Sir Iohn Clotworthy who assoon as he received it did communicate the same to the rest of the Commissioners which being discyphered there was thereby intimated That he was more then hopefull they should shortly beare from him to their content To which the Commissioners returned an answer That they should be glad to beare of the content he was hopefull to give With all which and the other transactions of tha● affair the Committee of Der●y-House were made acquainted and reported the same to both houses before Sir Iohn Clotworthy came out of Ireland And the Houses having approved of the carriage and endeavours of the Commissioners upon the whole transaction of the busines have long since so far owned them there 〈…〉 they have given thankes unto them for the same This being the only particular wherein the said Sir Iohn Clotworthy is by this article charged to have held intelligence with the Lord of Ormond and that being by the advice of the rest of the Commissioners in manner as aforesaid and for so good an end as the giving his Lordship an opportunity of new application to the Parliament for rendring to them the City of Dublin and the other garrisons under his command which hath since that 〈◊〉 taken effect accordingly to the exceeding great advantage and strengthning this Kingdoms interest in Ireland the said Sir Iohn Clotworthy leaves it to the judgment of all equall minded men whether or no there be any just cause to exhibit such a th●● against him for the same especially by an Army pretending such good affections to Irelands welfare For the other part of the said Article concerning the said 〈◊〉 John Clotwortheys holding intelligence with the Lord Digby He directly denieth any such thing as being utterly false and untrue For he never saw the said Lord Digby these many yeare 〈◊〉 one night accidentally when being last at Dublin with the other Commissioners afore said he was sent to the Castle of Dub●●● by the said Commissioners concerning an Officer of Colo●● Moores that had received an Injury by some persons that rel●ted to the Lord of Ormond at which time the said Lord Digby came into the roome where he was but he had no discourse 〈◊〉 him in private nor at all other then common talk severall person● being present Neither hath the said Sir Iohn Clotworthy 〈◊〉 the said Lord Digby deserted the Parliament ever exchanged letter Message or word with him directly or indirectly otherwise or at any other time then is hereby declared And whereas by this Article it is charged that in Order to 〈◊〉 secret intelligence of which he admires a whole 〈…〉 England should have such certain and publique Notice as to 〈◊〉 it a positive charg undertake to prove it upon oath were it●●●cret as they charg it as the Article all ●geth to have hi● hold by 〈◊〉 said Sir Io. Clotworthy with the said Lo. Digby the Lo of 〈◊〉 and the said Lord Digby ●●tely imployed 〈◊〉 S●●gsby who as the article saith pretends a designe about the Prince to c●me into this Kingdome the said Sir Iohn Clotworthy utterly denieth to have had any thought of any such designe or any knowledg of the said Slingsby or of his comeing into the kingdome until he heard that one Slingsby whom he yet knoweth not had been examined before the Committee at Derby house And the said Sir Iohn presumeth he hath to the said Committee confessed who imployed him and to whom he was imployed here TO the 14. which charges Sir Iohn Clotworthy Mr. H●lles and Sir Philip Stapleton with obstructing Articles exhibited against the Lord Inchequin calling back the Lord Lisle from the government of Ireland causing the command of the forces in that Kingdom to be committed to the Lord Inchequin he writing a letter to his Lordship upon the receipt whereof he should express he had direction to put out all those who favoured Independents They doe say they were so farr from keeping off proceeding upon those articles that they furthered it all they could and several times moved it in the House desirous to haue all cleared concerning the Lord Inchequin whom as they beleeved to be a man of honour and fidelity so if upon examination of his actions he appeared to be other they were resolved to declare their sense of him accordingly As for what concernes the Lord Lisle they say his Lordships time expiring which was but for one yeare either for him or any else to continue in that command the Parliament was pleased to dispose of the affaires of Ireland in an other way in the agitation whereof in the House they went according to their Iudgments and consciences without respecting any person living For the Command of the forces of that Kingdome which as to the Lord Inchequin can onely be understood of Ma●ster they doe not know that ever any thing was here done in it at all there having been no occasion for it as to their knowledg And as for the Letter mentioned to have been written by them 〈◊〉 any of them or from some other person by their or all of their direction they say as it is altogether uncertain and illegall so it is a meere fiction for they never did any such thing and tends to draw the Odi●● of Independents upon them to whose advancement both in Ixeland and elsewhere they feare they may prove obstructive as this Article clearly insinuates TO the 15.
