of Dublin full of contumely and dishonour both to the Parliament and Army And on the other side an Insolent and seditious Representation from the Scotch Presbytery at Belfast in the North of Ireland no lesse dishonourable to the State and much about the same time brought hither there will be needfull as to the same slanderous aspersions but one and the same Vindication against them both Nor can we sever them in our notice and resentment though one part intitl'd a Presbytery and would be thou ghta Protestant Assembly since their own unexampl'd virulence hath wrapt them into the same guilt made them accomplices and assistants to the abhorred Irish Rebels and with them at present to advance the same interest if wee consider both their calumnies their hatred and the pretended Reasons of their hatred to be the same the time also and the place concurring as that there lacks nothing but a few formall words which may be easily dissembl'd to make the perfetest conjunction and between them to divide that Iland As for these Articles of Peace made with those inhumane Rebels and Papists of Ireland by the late King as one of his last Master-pieces We may be confidently perswaded that no true borne English-man can so much as barely reade them without indignation and disdaine that those bloudy Rebels and so proclaim'd and judg'd of by the King himself after the mercilesse and barbarous Massacre of so many thousand English who had us'd their right and title to that Countrey with such tendernesse and moderation and might otherwise have secur'd themselvs with ease against their Treachery should be now grac'd and rewarded with such freedomes and enlargements as none of their Ancestors could ever merit by their best obedience which at best was alwaies treacherous to be infranchiz'd with full liberty equall to their Conquerours whom the just revenge of ancient Pyracies cruell Captivities and the causlesse infestation of our Coast had warrantably call'd over and the long prescription of many hundred yeares besides what other titles are acknowledg'd by their own Irish Parlaments had fixt and seated in that soile with as good a right as the meerest Natives These therefore by their own foregoing demerits and provocations justly made our vassalls are by the first Article of this peace advanc'd to a Condition of freedome superior to what any English Protestants durst have demanded For what else can be the meaning to discharge them the Common Oath of Supremacy especially being Papists for whom principally that oath was intended but either to resigne them the more into their own power or to set a mark of dishonour upon the Brittish Loyalty by trusting Irish Rebels for one single Oath of Alleageance as much as all his Subjects of Brittaine for the double swearing both of Alleageance and Supremacy The second Article puts it into the hands of an Irish Parlament to repeale or to suspend if they thinke convenient that act usually call'd Poynings Act which was the maine and yet the civillest and most moderate acknowledgement impos'd of their dependance on the Crown of England whereby no Parlament could be summond there no Bill be past but what was first to be transmitted and allowd under the great seale of England The recalling of which Act tends openly to invest them with a law-giving power of their own enables them by degrees to throw off all subjection to this Realme and renders them who by their endlesse treasons and revolts have deserv'd to hold no Parlament at all but to be govern'd by Edicts and Garrisons as absolute and supream in that Assembly as the People of England in their own Land And the 12th Article grants them in expresse words that the Irish Parlament shall be no more dependent on the Parlament of England then the Irish themselves shall declare agreeable to the Lawes of Ireland The two and twentieth Article more ridiculous then dangerous coming especially from such a serious knot of Lords and Politicians obtaines that those Acts prohibiting to plow with horses by the Tayle and burne oates in the Straw be repeald anough if nothing else to declare in them a disposition not onely sottish but indocible and averse from all Civility and amendment and what hopes they give for the future who rejecting the ingenuity of all other Nations to improve and waxe more civill by a civilizing Conquest though all these many yeares better shown and taught preferre their own absurd and savage Customes before the most convincing evidence of reason and demonstration a testimony of their true Barbarisme and obdurate wilfulnesse to be expected no lesse in other matters of greatest moment Yet such as these and thus affected the ninth Article entrusts with the Militia a Trust which the King swore by God at New-Market he would not commit to his Parliament of England no not for an houre And well declares the confidence he had in Irish Rebels more then in his Loyaliest Subjects He grants them moreover till the performance of all these Articles that 15000 foote and 2500 horse shall remaine a standing Army of Papists at the beck and Command of Dillon Muskery and other arch Rebels with power also of adding to that number as they shall see cause And by other Articles allows them the constituting of Magistrates and Judges in all Causes whom they think fie and till a settlement to their own minds the possession of all those Townes and Countreys within their now Quarters being little lesse then all the Iland besides what their Cruelty hath dispeopl'd and lay'd wast And lastly the whole managing both of peace and warre is committed to Papists and the chiefe Leaders of that Rebellion Now let all men judge what this wants of utter alienating and acquitting the whole Province of Ireland from all true fealty and obedience to the Common-wealth of England Which act of any King against the Consent of his Parliament though no other Crime were layd against him might of it selfe strongly conduce to the dis-inthrowning him of all In France Henry the third demanding leave in greatest exigencies to make Sale of some Crown Lands onely and that to his Subjects was answerd by the Parlament then at Blois that a King in no case though of extreamest necessity might alienate the Patrimony of his Crown whereof he is but onely Usu-fructuary as Civilians terme it the propriety remaining ever to the Kingdome not to the King And in our own Nation King John for resigning though unwillingly his Crown to the Popes Legate with little more hazard to his Kingdome then the payment of 1000 Marks and the unsightlinesse of such a Ceremony was depos'd by his Barons and Lewis the French Kings Sonne elected in his roome And to have carried onely the Jewells Plate and Treasure into Ireland without consent of the Nobility was one of those impeachments that condemn'd Richard the second to lose his Crown But how petty a Crime this will seem to the alienating of a whole Kingdome which in these
