can't perform this Great Task as it ought to be yet I 'll endeavour at something so like him that any one at first glance may say 't was meant for the Earl of Galway one of the present Lords Justices for the Kingdom of Ireland Then to proceed tho' with a trembling Hand to his Lordships Character The first thing then which is remarkable in him is He is a Person of strict Morals and extraordinary Piety His Lordship is advanc'd to the Honours he now enjoys by his great Humility and Personal Merits The Noble Blood that has fill'd his Veins has not swell'd his Heart He is as humble as he is great he seems set by Heaven on such a conspicuous Place as is that of being Lord Justice of Ireland on purpose to guide the People into the Paths of Love and Obedience to their God and King In a word he uses such an obliging meen to all as if he thought the only thing valuable in Greatness is the power it gives to oblige I wou'd go on with his Lordship's Character but as I said before I find my self unable for this Task so that Madam I shall next proceed for his Lordship's Character leads me to it to give some short Account of the present State of the Kingdom according to my best Information though you may wonder that Dunton should trouble his Head with Politicks but since such is the Custom of Travellers Why may not I thrust my self into the Herd The Present Governors are Their Excellencies the Lord Marquess of Winchester the Earl of Galway and the Lord Villers now Earl of Jersey his Lordship has never been here with this Character though he be n●med in the Commission and the present Government is so well administer'd by those two Noble Lords that I have not heard one man repine at them since I came to Dublin They have Officers belonging to the Houshold such as Steward and Comptrouler who on Sta●e-days carry White Rods as the Ensigns of their Office When they go to Church the Streets from the Castle-gate to the Church-door as also the great Isle of the Church to the foot of the Stairs by which they ascend to the Place where they sit are lined with Soldiers they are preceeded by the Pursivants of the Council-Chamber two Maces and on State-days by the King and Pursivant at Arms their Chaplains and Gentlemen of the Houshold with Pages and Footmen bare-headed When they alight from their Coach in which commonly the Lord Chancellor and one of the Prime Nobility sit with 'em the Sword of State is deliver'd to some Lord to carry before 'em and in the like manner they return back to the Castle where the several Courses at dinner are usher'd in by Kettle-drums and Trumpets I forgot to tell you Madam that in these Cavalcades the Coach in which they ride is attended by a small Squadron of Horse after which follow a long Train of Coaches that belong to the several Lords and Gentlemen who attend ' em Having given ye this short Account of the Chief Governors I shall next proceed to mention something of the Estate of the Church which in all its Canons are not the same with that of England not that they differ from it in any points of Religion but only in some Circumstances of Government which by a Convocation which has been sometimes held here may be alter'd as the present Exigencies require It consists of two Houses viz. The Upper in which the Bishops and the lower where the Inferior Clergy sit but they have not thought it needful to call one since his present Majesty's Accession to the Crown The most Reverend the Arch-bishops are four viz. Dr. Michael Boyl Lord Arch-bishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland Dr. Narcissus Marsh Lord Arch-bishop of Dublin Primate of Ireland Dr. William Palliser Lord Arch-bishop of Cashell and Dr. Iohn Vesey Lord Arch-bishop of Tuam And the Suffragants are eighteen in Number of this Number Three are of his Majesty's Privy-Council viz. The Bishops of Meath Kildare and Clogher as also the two Primates To give you a short Character of them take this what has been told me by some Judicious Persons of as well Dissenters as others That they are Men of such Learning Moderation and Piety that this ●hurch had never a better Class of Bishops to govern it The Dissenters in Ireland are a very considerable People as well for their Number as Wealth and all unanimous in an hearty Zeal for our present happy Government And indeed since my coming hither I have not heard of any one Iacobite in the whole Kingdom They have several Meeting-houses large and conveniently order'd within and these are supply'd with Sober and Pious Teachers among whom I think the Reverend Mr. Boyse may justly be named as the Chief one wh● by continual and hard Study every Day fits himself with new Acquisitions towards the happy discharging of his Pastoral Care which he expresses with so much Meekness and force of Perswasion as make him at once mightily belov'd and follow'd And one thing this Kingdom is extreamly happy in That both Perswasions do so well agree towards promoting the common good as more cannot well be desir'd a great Advancer of which Union is Mr. Weld a Person of Sobriety Learning and solid Iudgment and much admir'd and follow'd for his Preaching The Quakers are here in great Numbers also as one might easily perceive that would have consider'd the mighty Throngs of them which crowded about their Great speaker and Champion William Pen when he came hither to hold forth I cannot hear of any Learned Men among them though some of them are very Wealthy and but few of them poor they can make use of the Carnal Sword as well as those who pretend more to it as you will believe by this Story of one among them whose Name I forget who in the late War when the Rapparees came towards Edenderry near the Bogg of Allen in the Kings County he among other of the Militia went forth to engage them and put them all to the run except those who were kill'd in the Action among them lay one whom the Quaker thought he had kill'd and rifled his Pockets but some Months after when a great number of them burnt Colonel Purefoy's House about three Miles from Edenderry these brisk Sparks took the Alarm and making as considerable a body as they could march'd to Purefoys-place where they found many of the Irish who had made themselves drunk with the Colonels strong Beer fast asleep in the Ditches the Quaker who never was backward in such Attempts finds the same Fellow whom he thought he had formerly kill'd half tipsie and in his Arms he call'd him by his Name saying Verily I thought I had of late slain thee but now find my Mistake wherefore I purpose to make sure work and hinder thee from Rising any more and so immediately knockt him down with a Poll-Ax which he used always instead
