FULL Satisfaction concerning the Affaires of IRELAND As they Relate to the Marquesse of ORMONDS Transactions with the Lord of INCHIqUIN Together with a cleare Demonstration how advantagious the Lord of Inchiquins actings have beene to the Protestant Religion and Interest of England Impartially delivered from an able hand there and accordingly faithfully published 〈…〉 Printed for the Generall Satisfaction of such as desire to be truely Informed of the Proceedings there 1648. SIR THough yours to me sound somewhat a tedious passage yet it had the unusuall fortune to come sealed unto my hands I must confesse it did yeeld mee much contentment to see your desires and mine meet so happily upon the point of giving and receiving satisfaction And howbeit I cannot believe you declined this Service for any other cause but a meer compliance with your friends on that side the water yet I did often designe giving you an accompt of our Proceedings here to the end that you might as well possesse others as your selfe with a right understanding thereof which I had e'r this attempted but that in some things whereto I had not the happinesse to be privie I was myselfe untill of late a little to seeke I shall now very briefly summe up our Proceedings since the time the Lord President found it fit to declare his Resolutions of not adhering unto that Power in the hands of the Independants under which we discerned the Parliament to be in subjection whose obedience thereunto would have been as inconsistent with his dutie to God and man as it was against the sence and conscience of most honest men upon the place The Subordination to which extorted Power speciously onely in the Parliament but effectually in the Independants and Grandees of the Armie was to tread the paths of violating all manner of publique engagements especially that of the Covenant for maintenance of the Kings Person and Rights and of involving our selves in the most horrid and detestable perjurie that any people could be guiltie of as the processe of Affaires hath since made manifest When therefore it was seene that the Votes of no more Addresses to the King were to be obtruded on us contrarie to our Nationall Oath and that there was a necessitie of refusing a compliance therwith or imbracing perjurie the first thing which fell and that most properly under consideration was by what expedient wee might subsist in the justification of our selves in our first Principles and engagement for our King and the genuine Parliament of the Kingdome At which time being shut from all intercourse with the Presbyterian Partee in England the Lord President after severall other dispatches imployed a Gentleman expressely to the Estates of Parliament in Scotland advertising his and the Armies Resolution to adhere to the Obligations upon them by the Covenant and desiring the advice and assistance of the Kingdom and the Presbyterian Partie in England on sundry particulars before any Cessation or tearmes other then bare and conjecturall discourses were on foot By which Gentleman the Lord President did not onely receive an approbation from the Estates of concluding a Cessation with the Irish in order to our own subsistance for opposing the Independant Faction but also advice for the receiving of the Marquesse of Ormond as Lord Lieutenant of this Kingdome whose resort hither could be understood to tend to no other design then by his power and interest to draw the most considerable part of the Kingdome though not for numbers to a cleare submission unto his Majesties Authoritie and to return from their present engagements to an obedience under the Crown interest of England what other thing any man could propose to himself to be expected I cannot imagine and undenyably his comming must be either to settle an accommodation in the Kingdome or prosecute a War and how little of sence their apprehension carryes with it who will pretend they supposed he came to assist us against the Irish will appear from the consideration of an impossibilitie for us to support a generall War against the Natives here without assistance from England which it was well knowne wee could not expect to have but upon the forfeiture of our Faith and by the accesse of the Marquesse our hopes that way were never heightned with more then a promise of 10000 li. which was taken afterwards from his Excellencie to answer the Princes affaires wherewith to put this Armie into a condition that might render them not so contemptible But if we might with much reason insist upon saving conditions for the English Nation and interest and that his Excellencie might have the better ground to lay the foundation of his designes upon the Lord President had managed the businesse of dividing the Nation with so good judgement and successe that upon the Lord Lieutenants arrivall the two Factions for and against an obedience to the Crowne of England were growne to an irreconcileable distance testified by the frequent exercise of hostile actions and bloud-shed especially of late at Ca●rig Dromrusk where Rory mac Guire on the part of Owen O Neil stormed that Castle and put all in it to the Sword receiving himselfe his deaths wound and leaving most of his Regiment dead upon the place wherein his Lop held the Ballamud with so much equalitie supporting the weaker Partie against the more numerous and pernitious as by receiving either Partie under protection he was able to give the Law to the other yet to secure himself against both wherein his Lo. hath comported himselfe with so much prudence providence as that it easily evidently appeares that his Lo in the conduct management of that businesse hath without any assistance from the Kingdom of England done that Nation and the interest of it more Service in one years space then all their Armies when in the most powerful condition were ever able to do in seve● for besides that his Lo. hath made the Nation instrumentall one against the other he hath marched through all quarters of the Kingdom Ulster only excepted hath taken in several considerable places done much execution upon the common Enemy and forced him to most dishonourable evasions somtimes by slight by fastnesses by quartering his Army in places formerly altogether unacquainted with the sight of an English Troop or Regiment hath so impoverished the Countrey and anticipated the meanes of providing for any new or old Forces of their owne as that if any fresh irruption doe happen it will be by many degrees more difficult if not wholly impossible for the Irish to support an Army against us then it was at the beginning of the Cessation whi● also hath bin effected without any hazard or exposing the English Interest to any probable danger until Owen mac Art O Neil resolving to subdue that party of the Irish who were for a return to his Majesties obedience was marched with a numerous Army unto the confines of this Province wherein most of those that were averse
