part by reason of the late Rebellion do not sit in Parliament By about 3000 Freeholders and the Members of about 100 Corporations the University at Dublin reckoned for one represented in the House of Commons by about 270 Knights Citizens and Burgesses The Parliament so constituted have a Negative upon any Law that the Lord Lieutenant and Councel shall offer to the King and which the King and his Councel in England shall under the Great Seal remit to the said Parliament The Sheriffs of Counties and of Cities and Counties in Ireland are 40 finally appointed by the Lord Lieutenant each of which hath about Ten Bailiffs The Chief Governour called sometimes Lord-Lieutenant sometimes Lord-Deputy sometimes Lords Justices with a Council at this time consisting of about 50 Members do govern in all Matters belonging to the Peace Prerogative c.

And of the 3d gaining not above 100 l. per Ann. There are also sworn Attornies gaining about 120 l. per Ann. one with another There are in Ireland about 950 Justices of the Peace appointed by the Lord-Chancellor an Head-Constable for each Barony or Hundred being 252 and a Petty Constable for each Parish whereof are about 2278. The Ecclesiastical Government is by Arch-Bishops Bishops Arch-Deacons Deans of Cathedral-Churches in all which there are now actually but one Quire entire and that in Dublin serving both at Christ-Church and St. Patrick's And the Parsons Vicars and Curates for the Protestant-Religion are in all Ireland at this day near 500 and about half the Tythes are Impropriate and belonging to Lay-men This is the State of the External and Apparent Government of Ireland so far as it concerns the Number and Species of Persons managing the same But the Internal and Mystical Government of Ireland is thus viz. 1. There are always about Twenty Gentlemen of the Irish Nation and Popish-Religion who by reason of their Families good Parts Courtly Education and Carriage are supported by the Irish to negotiate their Concernments at the Court of England and of the Vice-Roy in Ireland These men raise their Contributions by the Priests who actually and immediately govern the People The Priests are govern'd by at least 24 Romish Bishops all of whom have a long time been conversant in France Spain Italy Germany England whereas Chaplains and Almoners c. they have made an interest with the governing Men and Ministers of State in those several Kingdoms and have obtained some Benefits and Preferments from them So as the Body of the Irish-Papist's being about 800 M. whereof near 700 M. do live in wretched Cabbins without Chimney or Window are govern'd by about 1000 Secular Priests and 2500 Friars and Regulars of several Orders whereof most are Franciscans next Dominicans and Augustins but few Capuchins and Iesuits or Carthusians These I say are govern'd by their respective Bishops and Superiors whom the Ministers of Foreign States do also govern and direct So as upon the whole matter the Irish who are the Bulk of the Nation are govern'd indirectly by Foreign Power and so are the aforenamed Lay-Patriots their support coming from the Clergy constituted as aforesaid and who do notoriously exercise their Spiritual Jurisdiction in Ireland And do also exert a Temporal Power by prevailing with Papist Justices of the Peace to send such to Gaol as are disobedient to the Clergy upon feigned or frivolous Complaints which they cause to be brought against them The Judges aforenamed all but the Chancellor go Circuits whereof there are five twice every year excepting only the one County of Kerry There is an University at Dublin but lying for the most part within one College wherein are a Provost and seven Senior and Ruling Fellows Nine Junior Fellows sixty Sch lars and at this time Commoners and other Students There was about the year 1669 erected a College of Physicians consisting of a President and 13 Fellows There are belonging to the Prerogative Arch-Deacons Courts Court-Martial and Admiralty-Courts not above to Advocates and 30 Proctors There are in the City of Dublin a Lord-Mayor 2 Sheriffs 24 Aldermen 48 Sheriffs Peers and 96 of the Common-Council There are besides Companies or Corporations of Trades-men There is lately instituted an Hospital for poor Children not yet fully perfected nor endowed There is also an Hospital for Sick Lame and Old Soldiers but without Endowment and standing but at discretion and pleasure There are in and near Dublin three Publick Prisons and one House of Correction Lastly I must intimate that the Footmanship for which the Irish 40 years agone were very famous is now almost quite lost among them every man now keeping a small Garran to ride on unless in such rocky and craggy places where 't is easier to go a foot than to ride Of the Militia and Defence of IRELAND THERE be in Ireland as elsewhere two Militias one are the Justices of Peace their Militia of High and Petty Constables as also the Sheriffs Militia of his Servants and Bailiffs and Posse Comitatus upon extraordinary occasions Of these all together there are in Ireland near 3000 all of which are bound within their several Districts there to act and not elsewhere There is or hath lately been an Army in Ireland of about thirty Troops of Horse and sixty Companies of Foot with a Regiment of Guard at Dublin as a Life-Guard for the Lord Lieutenant making in all about five thousand Men. There is also a Protestant Militia of about 24000 Men viz. about ten thousand Horse and the rest Foot The people of Ireland are all in Factions and Parties called English and Irish Protestants and Papists Though indeed the real distinction is vested and devested of the Land belonging to Papists Ann. 1641. Of which the Irish that are vested by Restoration seem rather to take part with the devested And the chief Pique which the Popish-Clergy have at the Protestants is

will much encrease the annual profits above what they now are and intirely draw the dependance of the inferiors from the great Lords upon his Majesty and so the interest and assurance the Crown shall have in the Natives thereof be of no less consequence and advantage than the very profits 2. That there be an express Caveat entred with the Secretary Signet Privy Seal and Great Seal here That no Grant of what nature soever concerning Ireland be suffered to pass till the Lord Lieutenant be made acquainted and it first pass the seal of that Kingdom according to the usual manner This will be of great intelligence and safety to his Majesty for on the one side he will clearly see into the true inward value all things which formerly albeit of very great worth have from so great a distance slipt away here as little understood by the Crown as is acknowledged by those that obtain them who generally in these causes sacrifice rather to their own Wit than the Goodness and Bounty of Kings And on the other side nothing can pass to the disadvantage of the Crown and proper Ministers instructed with these Affairs may be immediately faulted and justly called to a severe Account for their Negligence and Unfaithfulness therein which will give them good reason to look more narrowly into his Majesties Rights and their own Duties 3. That His Majesty Signify his Royal Pleasure that special Care be taken hereafter that sufficient and credible Persons be chosen to supply such Bishopricks as shall be void or admitted of his Privy Councel or sit as Iudges and serve of his learned Councel there that he will vouchsafe to hear the advice of his Lieutenant before he resolve of any in these cases that the Lieutenant be commanded to inform his Majesty truly and impartially of every mans particular Diligence and Care in his Service there to the end his Majesty may truly and graciously reward the well-deserving by calling them home to better preferment here This will advantage the service it being altogether impossible for the Lieutenant be he never so industrious and able to administer the publick Justice of so great a Kingdom without the round assistance of other able and well-affected Ministers This will encourage the best men to spend their stronger years there when they shall see their elder age recompensed with ease and profit in their own native Soyl and content and settle the Natives when they find themselves cared for and put in the hands of discreet and good men to govern them 4. That no particular Complaints of Injustice or Oppression be admitted here against any unless it appears That the Party made first his Address unto the Lieutenant This is but justice to the Lieutenant who must needs in some measure be a delinquent if the complaint be true for that he ought as in chief universally to take care that his Majesties Justice be truly and fully administered and therefore good reason that his Judgment should be informed and his integrity first tryed before either be impeached Nay it is but justice to the Government it self which would be exceedingly Scandalized through the liberty of complaints and the Ministers therein extreamly discouraged upon any petty matter to be drawn to answer here when as the thing it self is for the most part either Injurious or such as the party might have received good satisfaction for at his own doors but where the complaint appeareth formally grounded that is where due application hath been made to the Lieutenant without any help or relief to the party as may be pretended let it in the name of God be throughly examined and severely punished wheresoever the fault prove to be especially if it be found to be corrupt or malitious for thus shall not his Majesty only magnify his own Justice but either punish an unfaithful Minister or a clamorous Complainer and so his Service be better'd by either example 5. That no Confirmation of any Reversion of Office within that Kingdom be had or any new Grant of Reversion hereafter to pass That disposing of Places thus aforehand much abates mens endeavours who are many times stirred up to deserve eminently in the Commonwealth in hope of those preferments and being thus granted away there is nothing left in their Eye for them to expect and aim at which might nourish and quicken those good desires in them besides Places there closely and covertly passed the persons are not for the most part so able and fitted to the Duties thereof as when there is choice made out of many publick pretenders which commonly occur when they actually fall void by Death 6. That the Places in the Lieutenants Gift as well in the Martial as Civil List be left freely to his disposing and that his Majesty may be graciously pleased not to pass them to any person upon Suits made unto him here This course held preserves the Rights of the Lieutenants Place and his Person in that Honour and Esteem which can only enable him to do service and if the contrary happen it is not only in diminution to him but draws off all necessary dependance upon him and regard that ought to be had of him in all ready obedience in such things he shall command for the Kings Service when they shall discern that the natural Powers of the Place are taken from him whereby he might kindle their chearful endeavours by the preferring and furnishing such as deserve those places 7. That no New Offices be erected within that Kingdom before such time as the Lieutenant be therewith acquainted his opinion first required and certified accordingly Suits of this Nature however they pretend the publick their chief end is the private Profit of the Propounder and for the most part in the Execution prove burthens not benefits to the Subjects therefore throughly to be understood before they pass as more easy and less scandalous to the State to be staid at first than afterwards recalled and if they be really good his Majesty may be better informed by his Lieutenants approbation and so proceed with more assurance to the effecting thereof 8. That his Majesty would be pleased not to grant any Licence of absence out of that Kingdom to any Councillors Bishops Governours of any Province or County or Officers of State or of the Army or to any of the Iudges or learned Council but that it be left to his Lieutenant to give such Licence This is but reasonable because the Lord Lieutenant who is chiefly intrusted under his Majesty with the Care and Government of that Kingdom is the most competent and proper Judge who in publick employment may be spared and how long without Prejudice to his Majesty or the publick 9. That all Propositions moving from the Lieutenant touching matters of Revenue may be directed to the Lord Treasurer of England only and that the Address of all other Dispatches for that Kingdom be by special direction of his Majesty applyed to one of
