not to be brought to Us the Lords Justices or other chiefe Governour or Governours of this Kingdome the head or heads of the said Traitor or Traitors Yet being justly proved
discovered of ill-affected persons of the old Irish and that thereupon Proclamation was published by Us wherein among other things it was declared that the said Conspiracie was perpetrated by Irish Papists without distinction of any and they doubting that by those generall words of Irish Papists they might seeme to be involved though they declared themselves confident that We did not intend to include them therein in regard they alleadged they were none of the old Irish nor of their Faction or Confederacie but as they then pretended altogether averse and opposite to all their designes and all others of like condition We therefore to give them full satisfaction having indeede at that time great confidence in their loyalty did by Proclamation dated the 29. of October 1641. declare and publish that by the words Irish Papists We intended only such of the old meere Irish in the Province of Ulster as were then Actors in that Treason and others who adhered to them and that We did not any way intend or meane thereby any of the old English of the Pale nor of any other parts of this Kingdome then esteemed good Subjects We being then as We conceived well assured of their fidelities to the Crowne and having experience of the good affections and services of their Ancestors in former times of danger and Rebellion And indeede so beleeving were VVe in their faithfulnesse loyalty to the Crown as We then also represented it into England for their advantage and thereupon in the Order of the Lords and Commons in the Parliament in England concerning Ireland his Majesties loyall Subjects of English blood though of the Romish Religion being ancient Inhabitants within severall Counties and parts of this Realme are mentioned as those who have alwayes in former rebellions given testimony of their fidelity to the Crowne of England And in further testimony of the good affiance VVee had in their loyaltie VVee issued Armes to the severall Counties of the English Pale the better to enable them to discharge their duties in defending those parts and his Majesties good Subjects therein against the Rebels upon deepe professions of loyaltie made by them and their seeming detestation of the loathsomnesse of the crimes and bloody guilts of the Rebells which they for their parts professed with many oathes and protestations to abhorre and promised to oppose and resist them with all their power And wee issued Armes also to many Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Pale and elsewhere of the Romish Religion for the defence of their houses against the Rebells Yet much contrary to the expectation of all equall minded men and in deceit of the trust reposed in them by this State and directly contrary as to their loyaltie and dutie to his Majestie so to the great professions which they had so lately before made at this Councell Board many of those as well whole Counties as particular persons entrusted with those Armes revolted to the Rebels caryed his Majesties Arms with them and so the Arms which were trusted into their hands for the protection of his Masties good Subjects they converted to the annoyance and destruction as much as in them lay of those good Subjects they were trusted to protect and of this State and Government and have not onely not resisted the Rebells but have also joyned with them and they and the Rebells assembled in Armes in hostile manner with banners displayed against his Majestie in besieging some of his Townes taking into their possession by force or fraud many of his Majesties Burroughs walled and unwalled and in committing murders spoyles robberies and many detestable cruelties on his Majesties good Subjects And although those of the Pale pretended that they were not able to assemble or arme any strength against the Rebells yet lately they found meanes to assemble and arme great multitudes to assist the Rebells against his Majesties forces and against his Majesties Government and this State And as well the persons who were the first Actors in this Rebellion as also many others in the English Pale and severall other parts of the Kingdome forgetting those duties which by the Lawes of God and man are due from them to his Sacred Majestie are so ungratefull to his Majestie for the great and abundant benefits and favours from Him and his Royall Father and Predecessors derived to them so insensible of the happinesse which they with all others in this Kingdome enjoyed by his blessed Government and so improvident to themselves and their posteritie as they have presumed most unnaturally to conspire raise and act those

A PROCLAMATION OF THE LORDS IVstices for the apprehension of the chiefe Rebels AND THE REVVARD FOR TAKING ANY OF THEM WITH The true and last Newes from Ireland and in what state Dublin stands at this present Sent from an Honourable and one of the chiefest persons there to a Nephew of his in London LONDON Printed for Henry Shepheard and are to be sold at the Signe of the Bible in Chancery-Lane 1641. By the Lords Iustices and Councell W. Parsons Jo. Borlase IT is well knowne to all men but more particularly to his Majesties Subjects of this Kingdome who have all gathered plentifull and comfortable fruits of his Majesties blessed government how abundantly carefull his Majesty hath been in the whole course of his Government of the peace and safety of this his Kingdome and how graciously he hath laboured to derive to all his Subjects therein all those benefits and comforts which from a most gracious King could be conferred on his Subjects to make them a happy people whereof he hath given many great testimonies And as at all times he endeavoured to give them due contentment and satisfaction so even then whilest the Rebels now in Armes were conspiring mischiefe against Him and his Crowne and Kingdome he was then exercising Acts of Grace and Benignity towards them granting to his Subjects here the fulnesse of their own desires in all things so far as with Honour or Justice he possibly could and particularly when the Committees of both Houses of Parliament here this last Summer attended his Majesty in England at which time amongst many other things graciously assented to by Him he was content even with apparent losse and disadvantage to himselfe to depart with sundry his Rights of very great value which lawfully and justly hee might have retained And as his continued goodnesse to this people and his Princely care of their prosperity and preservation shall to the unspeakable joy and comfort of all his good Subjects render him glorious to all Posterity so the wicked ingratitude and treacherous disloyalty of those Rebels shall render them for ever infamous to all ages and utterly inexcusable even in the judgement of those who for any respect either formerly wished well to their persons or now pitty them in their transgressions And although the said persons now in Rebellion were in no degree provoked by any just cause of publike griefe received from his Majesty or his Ministers to undertake such desperate wickednesse neither can justly assigne any severity or rigour in the execution of those Lawes which are in force in this Kingdome against Papists nor indeed any cause at all other then the unnaturall hatred which those persons in Rebellion do beare to the Brittish and Protestants whom they desire and publikely professe to root out from amongst them The more strange in that very many of themselves are descended of English whence is the originall and foundation of all their estates and those great benefits which they have hitherto enjoyed and whence their Predecessors and others then well affected in this Kingdome have been at all times since the Conquest cherrished relieved countenanced and supported against the ancient enemies of the Kings people of England many of the Irish also having received their estates and livelihood from the unexampled bounty and goodnesse of the Kings of England Yet such is their inbred ingratitude and disloyalty as they conspired to massacre Us the Lords Justices and Councell and all the Brittish and Protestants universally throughout this Kingdome and to seize into their hands not only his Majesties Castle of Dublin the principall Fort in this Kingdome but also all other the fortifications thereof though by the infinite goodnesse and mercy of God those wicked and devillish Conspiracies were brought to light and some of the principall Conspirators imprisoned in his Majesties Castle of Dublin by Us by his Majesties authority so as those wicked and damnable plots are disappointed in the chief parts thereof his Majesties said Castle of Dublin and City of Dublin being preserved and put into such a condition of strength as if any of them or their adherents shall presume to make any attempt thereupon they shall God willing receive that correction shame confusion and destruction which is due to their treacherous and detestable disloyalty And in pursuit of their bloody intentions they assembled themselves in Armes in hostile manner with banners displayed surprised divers of his Majesties Forts and Garrisons possessed themselves thereof robbed and spoiled many thousands of his Majesties good Subiects Brittish and Protestants of all their goods dispossessed them of their houses and lands murdered many of them upon the place stripped naked many others of them and so exposed them to nakednesse cold and famine as they thereof dyed imprisoned many others some of them persons of eminent quality laid siege to divers of his Maiesties Forts and Towns yet in his Maiesties hands and committed many other barbarous cruelties and execrable inhumanities upon the persons and estates of the Brittish and Protestants men women and children in all parts of the Kingdome without regard of quality age or sex And to cover their wickednesse in those cruell Acts so to deceive the world and to make way if they could to the effecting of their mischievous ends they adde yet to their wickednesse a further degree of impiety pretending outwardly that what they doe is for the maintenance and advancement of the Kings prerogative whereas it appeares manifestly that their aimes and purposes inwardly are if it were possible for them so to doe to wrest from him his Royall Crown and Scepter and his iust Soveraignty over this Kingdome and Nation and to deprive him and his lawfull Ministers of all authority and power here to place it on such persons as they think fit which can no waystand with his Maiesties iust Prerogative nor can any equall minded man be seduced to beleeve that they can wish well to his Royall person or any thing that is his who in their actions have expressed such unheard of hatred malice and scorn of the Brittish Nation as they have done And such is their madnesse as they consider not that his sacred Maiesty disdaines to have his name or power so boldly traduced by such wicked malefactors Rebells having never in any age beene esteemed fit supporters of the Kings Prerogative much lesse these who under countenance thereof labour to deface and shake off his Government and extirp his most loyall and faithfull Subjects of his other Kingdomes and here whose preservation above all earthly things is and alwayes hath beene his Majesties principall study and endeavour which even these Traytors themselves have abundantly found with comfort if they could have beene sensible of it And whereas divers Lords and Gentlemen of the English Pale preferred Petition unto Us in the behalfe of themselves and the rest of the Pale and other the old English of this Kingdome shewing that whereas a late Conspiracie of Treason was

A true Copie of a Letter from Dublin THe Earle of Ormond Lievetenant Generall of the Army in Ireland and Sir Charles Coote and Sir Simon Harecourt went out of Dublin lately to meete the Rebells hearing they had lodged themselves at the Naas 12 miles from Dublin it is most true the Rebells were there entertained but when they heard of our English Forces comming though they were ten to one yet they durst not stand to it but ranne away and left the towne to be pillaged by the Souldiers they found such booty there as the Souldiers came loaden home a iust punishment to those that had pillaged the poore English that lived there when this rebellion broke forth that towne is destroyed and our English horse went six miles further to a place called Killcullen-bridge where the Rebells were too but there they shewed likewise their heeles in running away that place they burnt and returned safe without losse of a man the English Souldiers likewise in their returne to Dublin burnt Castlemartin and other small villages thereabouts and the Commanders hanged about fourescore rogues they catch't and but one of the English men hurt After their returne to Dublin the English againe issued our of Dublin southward upon the Rebells of Wickloe and Wexford about five miles from Dublin and there they ran away too so that had they but at Dublin a considerable supply of men money and munition by Gods assistance they soone would rout the Rebells thereabouts Three of the Kings Pinnaces about three weekes since went to releeve Tredagh but it pleased God by the violence of weather so to devide them that one of them was shipwract upon the Coast of Wales and the reliefe by the others prevented for that present yet how ever such was the care of the Lords Justices and Counsell there that on the 14. of February last they sent nine small vessels againe with victualls and munition and 400. men and by that meanes hath againe releeved Tredagh And for full incouragement to those well disposed persons that shall venture their monies for the reducing that kingdome to its former condition according to the late propositions made in Parliament all or most of the Nobility and Gentry by Juries of their owne Counties are convicted of high Treason at the Kings Bench-bar in Dublin so that their estates are in a very faire way to be forfeited for they are convicted upon Record already and the persons so convicted are owners of as fine Lands as any are in England and quantity sufficient to satisfie five hundred thousand pounds if it be laid out Our deare and good brethren in England I hope by long delay will not let us suffer divers Gentlemen of good repute are in the Country in their severall houses holding out still which by delay will be utterly lost which will be a great dishonour to the English Nation that in foure moneth should send over but a handfull of men they are full of charity and I hope they will not let us suffer death for no other can any English expect that hath opposed and fall into their hands money is much wanting in Dublin in so much that some of our English die for want of clothing In Dublin we have still Vipers left Alderman James one of the Aldermen of Dublin is committed to the Castle of Dublin for holding intelligence with the Rebels and it is thought he will be hanged his just desert Sir Nicholas White is likewise committed to the Castle as suspected for a dangerous man being a very great Papist and his Sons being in Rebellion Thus is the true state of Ireland about Dublin at this time FINIS
