Commission could be obtained from His Majesty by reason whereof Lymrick was wholly lost the Province of Munster is now in very great distresse That when divers pious and well affected persons had prepared twelve Ships and six Pinnaces with a thousand or more Land-forces at their own charge by way of Adventure for the service of Ireland and desired nothing but a Commission from His Majesty to enable them thereunto that Commission after twice sending to York for the same and the Ships lying ready to set Sail for three weeks together at the charge of neer three hundred pound a day was likewise denyed and those Adventurers rather then to lose their Expedition were constrained to go by vertue of an Ordinance of both houses of Parliament That although the Lords Justices of Ireland have three months since earnestly desired to have two Pieces of Battery sent over as very necessary for that service yet such commands are given to the Ofcers of the Tower that none of His Majesties Ordnance must be sent to save His Majesties Kingdom That although whilst the Earl of Leicester stayed here in the Service of the Parliament and in providing for his long-expected Voyage into Ireland a Message was sent to the Parliament from His Majesty to hasten him away and Letters were written to the said Earl from His Majesty that he should make no stay at York for his dispatch but that his Instructions should be ready for him against he came And although it is notoriously known That the Affairs of Ireland do exceedingly suffer by wanting the personall assistance of a Commander in chief to give both life and motion to the Army there yet the said Earl hath been stayed with His Majesty in the North a month and more and as yet can get no dispatch That notwithstanding the bleeding condition of Ireland yet divers Commanders and Officers in pay and in actuall employment there against the Rebells have been called away from that important Service by the expresse Command of His Majesty as Charles Floyd Engineer and Quarter-Master Generall of the Army in Ireland and divers others That Captain Green Comptroller of the Artillery a man in pay and principally employed and trusted here by the Lord Lievtenant of Ireland for the providing and ordering the Train of Artillery which was to be sent to Dublin and who had received great Sums of money for that purpose was commanded from that employment and trust to serve His Majesty in this most unnaturall Warre against His loyall and best-affected people That the Parliament having made great provision of clothes for the poor Souldiers in Ireland for their present succour and sending six hundred suits part thereof towards Chester the last week the man that undertook the carriage of them one William Whitaker by name was assaulted by His Majesties Cavaliers then lying about Coventry who took away these six hundred suits of clothes and the Waggon and horses of the poor man although they were told that the six hundred suits of clothes were for the Souldiers in Ireland and notwithstanding the poor Catryer was five times with the Earl● of Northampton to beg a Release of his Waggon That three hundred suits of clothes with a Chirurgions Chest of Medicaments being likewise sent for Ireland by one Richard Owesi●●ds who was employed by the Parliament to carry them to Chester a troop of His Majesties Cavaliers under command of one Captain Middleton ●●me● with them upon the Road and took away the clothes and Chirurgions Chest together with the poor Carryers horses and Wagon for His Majesties pretended service here That a great number of draught horses prepared by the Parliament for the Artillery and Baggage of the Irish Army were sent to Chester for that purpose and being there attending a Passage are now required by His Majesty for His said present service in England That His Majesties Forces are so Quartered in and about the common Roads to Ireland that neither Money Clothes Victualls or other Provision can passe thither by Land with any safety That Captain Ketleby the Admirall and Sir Henry Stradling the Vice-Admirall of the Ships which were directly to lie upon the Coast of Ireland to annoy the Rebells and to prevent the bringing to them Ammunition and relief from Forraign Parts are both called away from that imployment by His Majesties command and by reason of their departure from the coast of Munster to which they were designed the Rebells there have received Powder Ammunition and other relief from forreign parts by which and many other particulars too long to relate it may seem as if those Barbarous Irish-Rebells are kept on foot and countenanced there of designe to assist the Northerne Cavaliers and according to the Earle of Straffords unheard of advice to have an Army in Ireland with which His Majesty may reduce this Kingdome especially considering those confident Rebells have presumed very lately to send a Petition to His Majesty intituling themselves His Majesties Catholike Subjects of Ireland and complaining of the Puritane Parliament of England and desiring that since His Majesty comes not thither according to their expectation that they may come into England to His Majesty Which Petition wee may justly feare is but a Prologue to that Tragedie they have designed to act here in case their coming over be not prevented by the care and vigilancy of the Parliament and good people of England But lest the House of Commons might seem to excuse the making of this Order by a way of Recrimination They for satisfaction to the world do protest before Almighty God the searcher of all hearts That they have as great compassion and sorrow for the present sufferings of their distressed brethren in Ireland as if themselves were in their case into which they are confident those horrid Traytors those Monsters of men about His Majesty do labour to bring this Kingdom That they have and shall ever really endeavour by all means possible with a due regard to the present estate of this Kingdō to supply support them in this their great affliction notwithstanding the malice and obstructions of all opposers That the House of Commons lively apprehending the imminent danger of this Kingdom and finding that whilst they were active here to subdue the Rebells of Ireland there were Papists Traytors and Delinquents more active in the North to conquer and destroy the Parliament and good people of England Thought it necessary to provide for the safety of both by preparing a competent Army for the defence of King and Kingdom And although multitudes of well-affected persons had cheerfully brought in great store of Plate for that purpose yet in regard the Plate could not be coyned with such expedition as the Importance of the service did require and well knowing that One hundred thousand pounds might for a short time be borrowed out of the Adventurers Money for Ireland without any prejudice to the Affairs of that Kingdom whose subsistence depends upon the well-fare of this and resolving to make a reall and speedy re-payment of what Money should be so borrowed did make this Order which that it may appear to all the world to be neither mischievous illegall nor unjust as His Majesty by the instigation of those malignant whisperers is pleased to tearm it the House of Commons thought fit to recite it in haec verba and in stead of retracting the Order to re-p●y the Money with all possible speed The 30 of July 1642 IT is this day Ordered by the Commons House of Parliament That the Treasurers appointed to receive the Monies come in upon the Subscriptions for Ireland do forthwith furnish by way of Loan unto the Committee of the Lords and Commons for the defence of the Kingdom the sum of one hundred thousand pounds for the supply of the publike necessity for the defence of the King Parliament and Kingdom upon the publike Faith to be re-paid duely and carefully within so short a time that it shall not be diverted from the purpose for which it was intended or any way frustrate the Acts already made in the behalf of that Adventure BY which Order and that which hath been here truely set down it will easily appear to all the indifferent people of His Majesties three Kingdoms whether the King and His Cavaliers or the King and His Parliament do most effect and endeavour the setling of true Religion and a firm and constant peace within that bleeding and distressed Kingdom FINIS
