Good News for England OR A Speedy Safe AND EASY WAY HOW IRELAND May be Reduced to the Obedience of the Crown of England In six Moneths time Humbled offered to the Serious Consideration of the King and Queen's most Excellent Majesty and to the Right Honourable the Lords S●iritual and Temporal and Commons of England in Parliament Assembled With Allowance London Printed and Sold at the Three Keys in Nags-Head-Court in Grace-Church-Street 1669. A Speedy Safe and Effectual way for Reducing of Ireland to the Obedience of the Crown of England in six Moneths c. GOD giving his Blessing One Hundred Thousand men will subdue Ireland in six Moneths with less charge then Forty Thousand men can well do it in two Years for if the Army be great so as sufficiently to over-power the Enemy then very few will be killed or lost in the Service which above all things ought to be regarded in a Christian Prince and People But if the Army be not bigger than the Enemies there may be the more lost in the Service and the Work longer a doing Objection So many men cannot easily be spared or raised Answer Eighty Thousand may soon be raised in England and Wales and Twenty Thousand in Scotland giving every Foot-Soldier seven Shillings a Week they will be encouraged the which doing and having of the said number Ten Thousand of them Horse-men the cost and charge of the Army of Officers and Horse and Foot the Clothes Arms Amunition Artillery and all Charges Admit it arise to ten Shillings each man one with the other each Week which is Fifty Thousand Pounds per Week in six Moneths is Thirteen Hundred Thousand Pounds or Twenty six Hundred Thousand Pounds for a Year Object So much Money will be too great a Charge upon the Nations Answ There are men in London and in England and some in Scotland that would lend most of the above sum upon Condition to be paid it out of the forfeited Lands in Ireland considered at a certain price per Acre when the Country is vanquished And such as would lend Monies considerable should pay nothing of the Tax And all such either Poor or Rich that would not lend Monies and take Debentures should be taxed and rated by Authority in a Pole Bill according to their Abilities and this would quickly do the Work and then England would be safe and all the Dominions thereunto belonging in Rest and Peace Also this Army whilst they are doing this Work would be exercised and so bravely disciplin'd that they would be fit the beginning of the next Year fifty thousand of them to go to Holland to assist Holland or to go to France to do Justice upon the French. Object Where would Provisions be had for such an Army Answ Money answereth all things Corn is very plenty and cheap in England and these hundred thousand men being maintained by the Provisions of England Wales and Scotland they may have their Provisions brought out of England c. to them especially great store of Corn and Bread Cheese Butter and Beer c. which England can spare for payment and be glad to have a way to vend it And as for Flesh Fish c. there is abundance in Ireland Object What shall be done with the Irish seeing it is contrary to the Nature of an English man or a Protestant to Masacree Kill or Destroy a Nation of People or hurt one Soul when they have overcome them in defence of the English Interest and Protestant Religion Answ Seeing the Irish Papists are mostly such bloody and cruel People that whilst the English have lived peaceable and quiet amongst them or rather the English whilst they had power suffering the Irish to live in the same peace and quiet with themseves Yet we see that the Irish Papists as soon as they got power into their Hands they rebelled against the English and against all the Brittish Protestants indeavouring with all Severity and Cruelty to utterly destroy and put out the English and Brittish Protestants from under Heaven or from having a Being to dwell any where upon the face of the whole Earth witness France and Ireland and Savoy and how they have already done and are still proceeding to do Therefore every man of them in Ireland having taken up Arms and Clubs Staves Pickes c. it would be but just on our parts as English men Protestants and good Christians loving of Mercy to deal better by them then they do by us and to give them some place to live and dwell upon the Earth to send all the Families of them that will not submit to the English Government now established to inhabit in Virginia and Maryland and other Plantations and Islands in America under the Dominion of England And all of the men that have been exercising any sort of Weapon against the English and British Protestants that will not give good security for their loyal and peaceable Behaviour for the time to come to be bestowed upon the Emperor of Germany to assist him to fight against the Turks or what else may seem fit c. The fore-going ought to be considered and done quickly for in the Popish Standard upon the Castle of Dublin it is written NOW or NEVER NOW and FOR EVER So that it is now the Brittish Protestants business through all the World especially in England and Scotland to put themselves quickly upon great and extraordinary Charge to be before-hand with their Enemies and then in the strength of God they may do their business so as they may vanquish and overcome the Enemies of their Peace and so order the matter that their Enemies never more get the Dominion over them NOW nor NEVER Suppose ten Carpenters would be building a Ship two Years then forty Carpenters would be building it half a Year Besides consider the Interest of Money lying long dead or unprofitable and consider the present profit of the use of the Ship. Also an Enemy may get the Advantage of the matter by making more speed to the Market wherefore make haste bid a good Price lest the Enemy fore-stall and increase both Principal and Profit Suppose a great Ship of great force met with another great Ship of small force its likely the great Ship of great force would soon take the other great Ship of small force with the loss of few or no men So a great Army of great force will soon Conquor a great Army of small force without loss of much men And the greater the Army and the stronger the Force the more they daunt and discourage their Enemies These things considered and that notwithstanding the Army and the charge be great yet the shortness of the Work and of the Time it will be done cheaper with a great Army and quicker with less loss of men than with a small Army in longer time and more loss of men And the Work being quickly done they may be put upon other Service as is before plainly demonstrated And moreover the three Nations would be at Peace to trade and deal and be profitable to themselves and in a short time would regain all the charge c. And whereas if it be long a doing Trade will be hindred and the Nations will grow weak feeble And suppose that it may be a year before the said Army be called up out of Ireland upon other Service however there is a Kingdom gained for twenty six hundred thousand pounds which is supposed to be worth a hundred times that value and moreover England cannot be well nor safe without Irland be under its Obedience Also again consider that there will be in doing this a brave Army made and disciplin'd to again France God direct you FINIS
