generally thought to be unworthily cousened and abused in the matter in case there were any such secret Authority given by His Majesty to the Earl of Glamorgan This being our unanimous judgement of what was fit to be done and by whom the onely Question then remaining was to the point of Time in which we were also of opinion That if it were defer●'d till the businesse growing publike otherwayes should begin to work its mischief His Majesties Vindication would lose much of its force and be thought rather applyed to the notarieting then to the impiety of the thing and rather to the pernicious effects then to the detestable cause it self Notwithstanding I must confesse unto you that the consideration of frustrating the supplies of three thousand men which were so confidently affirmed to be in readinesse for the relief of Chester in case the condition of that place could not bear the delay which this might occasion wrought in us a very great suspension of Judgement Whether the proceeding against my Lord of Glamorgan should not be forborn till that so necessary supply were sent away but the case being more strictly examined We found first that by the Lord of Glamorgans Oath the Forces were not to be haz●rded till His Majesties performance of the said Earls Conditions And secondly that the said supply was never intended by my Lord of Glamorgan and the Irish till the Articles of Peace were consented to which the Lord Lieutenant durst in no wise do without a preceding Vindication of the Kings Honour since this Transaction of my Lord of Glamorgans was known unto him and known to be known unto him by those who wanted neither Art nor Malice to make use of it so that the necessary forbearance to conclude the Treaty frustrating as much the relief of Chester as the sudden and vigorous proceeding against my Lord of Glamorgan could do our Resolutions did in the end determine upon that course when at the instant to remove all Objections Information was brought us That the thing was already publike throughout the Town and began to work such dangerous ●ff●cts as in tru●h I do not believe that my Lord Lieutenant or any of the Kings faithful Servants could have been many hours safe in the delay of this His Majesties and their Vindication which h●th now been so seasonably applied as that it hath wrought here not onely a general satisfaction in all moderate men but even such a conversion in many lesse well inclined That whereas before a Peace with the Irish even upon those unavoidable Conditions upon which my Lord Lieutenant must needs within few dayes have concluded it would hardly have bin published in this place without very much danger mens mindes are so secured and setled by this proceeding as that I believe the Peace now would be embraced upon those perhaps upon harder terms without much mutiny or repining This being so our chief remaining fear is lest what hath been done against my Lord of Glamorgan should so far incense the Irish as to drive them to sudden extremes things here on His Majesties part being in so ill a condition to enter again upon a War unto this danger the best preventives we could think of are applied This inclosed Letter written to my Lord of Muskerry by my Lord Lieutenant Apt persons imployed to Kilkenny to acquaint them with the reasons and necessities of this proceeding And lastly the Articles of Peace sent unto them with my Lord Lieutenants assent in the very terms proposed and acquiest in by themselves in the last results of this long Treaty which in all probability will have one of these two effects either to make them conclude a Peace notwithstanding this in●ervening accident whereby Chester may be speedily relieved and His Majesty further supplied this Spring or make it break so foully on their side as to divide from them the most considerable of their party Whatever the event be my Lord Lieutenant and I shall comfort our selves with this satisfaction That we have done what belong'd to men of Honour faithful to their King and to their Religion and as wisely as ours and our friends best understandings could direct us leaving the rest to God Almighty whom we beseech * Some such words should be supplyed to make it sence though they be not in the Original to direct His Majesty to that course herein on His part which may be correspondent to our faithful endeavours and that he will blesse them with as good effects upon the mindes of all honest men towards his Majesties Vindication in that Kingdom as I make no doubt but what we have done wil have in this when seconded and pursued by those further directions from his Majesty which I am sure His own Wisdom and Princely Indignation to finde His Honour Conscience and Piety thus infamously traduced will dictate unto Him without further advice from Dublin Jan. 4. 1645. Your I Believe you will be as much startled as I was to finde the Signet mentioned in my Lord of Glamorgans Transaction but it seems that was mistaken and that he now pretends to some kinde of Authority under the Kings Pocket-Seal which I certainly believe to be as false as I know the other Articles of agreement made and concluded between the Right Honourable Edw.
