IT is granted by some of the highest assertors of Passive Obedience that if a King design to root out a people or destroy one main part of his Subjects in favour of another whom he loves better that they may prevent it even by opposing him with force and that he is to be judged in such a case to have Abdicated the Government of those whom he designs to destroy contrary to Justice and the Laws This is Grotius's Opinion in his Book De jure Belli Pacis lib. 1. cap. 4. § 11. where citing Barclay he says If a King be carried with a malitious design to the destruction of a whole Nation he loses his Kingdom which I grant since a will to Govern and to Destroy cannot consist together therefore he who professes himself an Enemy to a whole People doth in that very act Abdicate his Kingdom But it seems hardly possible that this should enter into the heart of a King who is not mad if he govern only one people but if he govern many it may happen that in favour of one people he may desire the other were destroyed Doctor Hammond asserts Passive Obedience as high as any yet he approves this passage of Grotius and of Barclay in his vindication of Christ's reprehending S. Peter from the exceptions of Mr. Marshall p. 327. of his first Volume Grotius saith he mentions some cases wherein a King may be resisted As in case a King shall Abdicate his Kingdom and manifestly relinquish his Power then he turns private man and may be dealt with as any other such And some other the like 2. And it is observable that generally in all Books and Sermons concerning Obedience to Governors where this case is put suppose a King endeavour to destroy his people there are only two answers given to it one is that his Officers and Ministers ought not to obey him if they do the Law will punish them The other is that this case ought not to be put that we ought not to suppose that any King will designedly endeavour to destroy his people nay the Author of Jovian will not allow us to suppose that any King will attempt in England to Govern altogether by Arbitrary Power and the Sword For says he Chap. 12. p. 272. To suppose this is plainly to suppose the utmost impossibility and p. 273. If a King should shut up the Courts obstruct or pervert Justice he allows that all his good Subjects and all the bad too that tendered their own safety would desert him and Chap. 6. p. 152. He says he should be tempted to pray for the destruction of such a Prince as the only means of delivering the Church Falkner in his Christian Loyalty B. 2. Chap. 5. N. 19 20 tells us But if ever any such strange case as is supposed should really happen I confess it would have its great difficulties He brings in Grotius De jure Belli Pacis lib. 1. cap. 4. N. 7. And Bishop Bilsons Christian Subjection Part 3. p. 519. edit 1585. as allowing it and seems to allow their judgment in the case but then tells us that the case above-mentioned ought not at all to be supposed or taken into consideration All which plainly grants that if a King do in earnest design the destruction of his Subjects and get Ministers and Officers to concur with him in it who are ready to execute his wicked intentions and against whom the Law yields no Protection that in such a case the Subjects may desert their Prince decline his Government and Service and seek Protection where they can find it 3. And indeed whoever considers the Discourses that have been written concerning Non-Resistance will find that the reasons given for it either from the nature of the Thing or Scripture reach only tolerable evils and prove that a man ought to be patient under pressures laid on him by his Governor when the mischief is not
the common Offices of Humanity This Chancellor Fitton declared on the Bench This the King's Favourites and Attendants suggested publickly to him at his times of Eating at his Couchee and Levee and upon all occasions However it was it is evident by the effect that King James in great measure completed the Ruin of the Protestants and English Interest in this Kingdom which will plainly appear 1. In his dealing with the Army 2. With the Courts of Judicature 3. With the Privy Council and Offices 4. With Corporations 5. With Trade and the trading People of the Nation 6. With our Liberties 7. With our Fortunes 8. With the Lives of his Protestant Subjects And 9. With their Religion SECT II. I. King James's Dealing with the Army of Ireland in order to destroy the Protestants and English Interest 1. THE Army of Ireland which King James found at his coming to the Crown consisted of about seven thousand as Loyal Men and as Cordial to the King's Service as any could be both Officers and Soldiers had been inured to it for many years They looked on him as their Master and Father intirely depending on him and expecting nothing from any Body else When Monmouth's and Argile's Rebellion called for their assistance to suppress them no People in the World could shew more Chearfulness or Forwardness than they did and it is observable that no one Man in Ireland was ever found to be conscious or consenting to those Rebellions the Protestants of all sorts shewed great Horror and Detestation of them and were discernably melancholy till the Rebels were suppressed Most of the Officers of this Army had been so zealous to serve the King that they had by his permission and encouragement bought their Employments many of them had laid out their whole Fortunes and contracted Debts to purchase a Command yet no sooner was King James settled in his Throne but he began to turn out some of the Officers that had been most zealous for his Service and had deserved best of him merely because they had been counted firm to the Protestant Religion and English Interest The first who were made Examples to the rest were the Lord Shannon Captain Robert Fitz-Gerald Captain Richard Coote and Sir Oliver S. George The three first were Earls Sons who either in their own persons or by their Fathers and Relations had been signally active in restoring King Charles the Second and the Royal Family to their just Rights 1660 so had Sir Oliver S. George and they were all of them without any other Exception but their Zeal for their Religion and the English Interest in Ireland But the common Saying was that King James would regard no Man for any Service done to him his Father or Brother but only for future Service that he expected from them and since he could fot expect that these Gentlemen should assist him to destroy the Protestant Religion or the Liberties of his Subjects which was the Service he then expected he took their Troops from them and gave them to persons of mean or broken Fortunes who must do any thing to keep them some of them unqualified by Law It is fit their Names should be known that the Reader may the better observe what kind of Change the King began with when he substituted Captain Kerney if I remember right one of the Ruffians Captain Anderson a person of no Fortune Captain Sheldon a professed Papist and Captain Graham in the places of the Lord Shannon Captain Fitz-Gerald Captain Coote and Sir Oliver S. George 2. But to convince the World that no Consideration was to be had of Loyalty or Merit except a Man were a Papist The Duke of Ormond was sent for abruptly and devested of the Government with such Circumstances that did no ways correspond with the Service he had rendered the Crown in general and King James in particular Immediately the modelling of the Army was put into the Hands of Collonel Richard Talbott a person more hated than any other Man by the Protestants and who had been named by Oates in his Narrative for this very Employment When therefore the Protestants saw him put into it many who believed nothing of a Plot before gave credit now to his Narrative and the common Saying was that if Oates was an ill Evidence he was certainly a good Prophet Collonel Talbott afterwards Earl of Tyrconnell knew the Necessity of having the Army fitted to his purpose it being the Engine he depended on for destroying the Religion Liberty and Laws of the Kingdom and therefore set about it with all expedition and prosecuted it in such a manner as might be expected from a Man of his insolent temper He exercised at the same time so much Falshood and Barbarity that if the Army had not been the best principled with Loyalty and Obedience of any in the World they would have 〈◊〉 or at least dispatched him In the Morning he would take an Officer into his Closet and with all the Oaths Curses and Damnations that were never wanting to him he would profess Friendship and Kindness to him and promise him the continuance of his Commission and yet in the Afternoon cashier him with all the contempt he could heap on him nay perhaps while he was thus caressing him he had actually given away his Commission The Officers of Ireland then cashiered and their Acquaintance can vouch the truth of this in many instances As for the Soldiers and Troopers his way with them was to march them from their usual Quarters to some distant place where he thought they were least known where they would be put to greatest Hardships and there he stripped them the Foot of their Cloaths for which they had payed and the Troopers of their Horses Boots and Furniture bought with their own Money and set them to walk barefooted one hundred or one hundred and fifty Miles to their Homes or Friends if they had any Sometimes he would promise them something for their Horses but then he told them that they must come to Dublin for it if any came to demand the small pittance promised them for their Horses or Arrears of Pay he contrived it so that they should be obliged to wait till they had spent twice as much as they expected and most of them after all got nothing By this means two or three hundred Protestant Gentlemen who had laid out all or a good part of their Fortunes and contracted Debts on Commissions were not left worth any thing but were turned out without reason or any consideration and sive or six thousand Soldiers sent a begging a hardship perhaps never put on any Army before without any provocation against whom there was no other Exception but that they were English Men and Protestants and King James by substituting Irish Men and Papists in their places contrary to the Laws and to the very Design of keeping a standing Army in Ireland clearly demonstrated that he had no regard to the Laws or to the
so kept them in Heart by countenancing them that they did not doubt some time or other to recover their Estates and they often told the English when heated by Drink or Passion that the time was drawing near when they would out them of their Estates and Improvements and send them to Dig or Beg. This Hope kept the Irish Idle and hindred them from applying themselves to any thing else and they were so sure of regaining their forfeited Estates that they disposed of them by Wills and Settlements as if in Possession which Wills and Settlements made by them whilst out of Possession are confirmed by a particular Act made in their late pretended Parliament 2. When King James came to the Crown they reckoned they had gained their Point and did not fail to labour it with all possible Industry and no doubt but his Majesty designed to gratifie them in it but he did not think fit to let the Protestants know his Intentions on the contrary he industriously concealed them He sent over the Lord Clarendon Lord-Lieutenant in the Year 1685. who arrived here January 10. he gave him in Charge to declare That he would preserve the Acts of Settlement and Explanation inviolable And accordingly the Lord Clarendon made this Declaration in Council and further gave it in Charge to all the Judges who solemnly declared on the Bench in their respective Circuits the Kings firm Intentions to preserve those Acts and in them the Protestant English Interest of Ireland At the same time Sir Charles Porter was sent over Chancellor of Ireland and he likewise had a Command from the King to assure all his Subjects that he would preserve these Acts as the Magna Charta of Ireland and Sir Charles at his entrance on his Office declared this solemnly on the Bench as Chancellor Fitton also after did and used withall to term it The Darling of the Nation and that it was the King's Pleasure to give his Subjects this Assurance These kind of Declarations were often repeated and gain'd Belief from the credulous Protestants especially that made by Sir Charles who behaving himself with Courage and Integrity in his Office went a great way to perswade them But the Papists were nothing daunted at it they knew that this was only a piece of Policy to â—ull us asleep till the Army was modelled and things fitted for repealing these Acts and then all the Protestations to the contrary would signifie nothing The new Attorney General Nagle was the first that durst openly propose the Repealing of them in his Letter from Coventry dated October 26. 1686. in which he endeavours to shew some Nullities and Invalidities in the Acts but mainly insists on the Inconveniency it would bring to the Popish Interest to have those Acts continued When the Earl of Tyrconnel came to the Government things were Riper and so King James ventured to discover his Intentions a little further and therefore in the first Proclamation issued out by the Lord-Deputy Tyrconnel and dated Feb. 21. 1686. he promised to defend the Laws Liberties and established Religion but upon debate at the Council-Board leaves out the Preservation of the Acts of Settlement and Explanation In Spring 1688. he sends over to England Chief Justice Nugent and Baron Rice to concert the Methods of repealing it That this was their Errand was publickly known and is confessed by my Lord Sunderland in his Letter to his Friend in London dated March 23. 1689. and if we believe him they bid 40000 l. to gain his Lordship to assist them but whatever his Lordship did with them it is certain they succeeded in their Design though perhaps a little delay'd in point of time and agreed on the several Steps by which they were to bring it to pass they knew it was generally discoursed that they went on this Errand and it would have alarm'd the whole Kingdom if they had own'd their Success they therefore dissembled it and contrived to have it given out that the King had rejected their Proposals but granted others that were very Beneficial to the Kingdom the Heads of which they took care to have published In the mean while they fell on prosecuting their Design according to the Secret Resolutions agreed on and began immediately to put things in order to have a Parliament that would be sure to answer their Intentions they proceeded to finish the Regulations of Corporations against which Quo Warranto's had before been issued as we have already shewed and that things might not stick in the House of Lords by reason of the Numerousness of the Protestant Peers and Bishops a List was drawn up of such Papists as the King might by Writ call into the House to Out-vote them The Sons of such Lords as had been Indicted and Out-lawed for the Rebellion in 1641. had brought Writs of Error to reverse their Father's Outlawries which made them uncapable of Sitting which was in effect to destroy the Act of Settlement that was founded on those Out-lawries The Protestants saw the Consequence of the Reversing them and therefore earnestly opposed it but Lord Chief Justice Nugent and his Fellow-Judges over-ruled all Oppositions that could be made and reversed as many as desired it Some of them when they had reversed the Outlawries ask'd the Attorney General whether they might not now Sue for their Estates He answered that they should have a little Patience perhaps they would come more easily meaning that when a Parliament sate it would by repealing the Act of Settlement give them their Estates without a Suit 3. But many had not Patience to wait the General Restitution and therefore as soon as they had Judges and Sheriffs to their mind they set up Counterfeit Deeds and easily obtained Verdicts if the Protestants brought a Writ of Error yet that did not benefit them nor stop their being outed of Possession for the Sheriffs on their own Heads gave the Old Proprietors Possession and left the Protestants to recover it by Injunction out of Chancery or by Common-Law Thus Doctor Gorge was outed by Mr. Barnwell of a great Estate and many others notwithstanding their Writs of Error Some Old Proprietors had gotten some Conditional Orders from the Commissioners of the Court of Claims for Estates many of which only enabled them to bring their Actions at Common-Law These had laâ—â— dormant since the sitting of the Court of Claims which was above Twenty Years but now instead of bringing their Actions into the Court they carried their old Injunctions which they had procured from the Court of Claims and which they thought not fit in all this time to execute as knowing legally they could not yet I say so long after the Dissolution of the Court which granted them they carried them to the Sheriffs and they without any more ado put them into Possession whereby they deprived the Subject of the Benefit of those Laws that make Fines levied with Non-claim a perpetual Bar and also dispossess'd and put by all intermediate
that we could promise our selves no help from his Negative Vote 13. The House of Lords if regularly assembled had consisted for the most part of Protestants and might have been a Check to the King's Intentions of taking away our Laws in a legal Method there being if we reckon the Bishops about Ninety Protestant Lords to Forty five Papists taking in the new Creations and attainted Lords But first to remove this Obstacle care had been taken to reverse the Outlawries of the Popish Lords in order to capacitate them to sit in the House 2. New Creations were made Sir Alexander Fitton the Chancellor was made Baron of Gosworth Thomas Nugent the Chief Justice Baron of Riverston Justin M'Carty Viscount Mountcashell Sir Valentine Brown Viscount Kenmare A List was made of more to be call'd into the House if there were occasion 3. They had several Popish Titular Bishops in the Kingdom and it was not doubted but if necessity required those would be call'd by Writs into the House 4. It was easie to call the eldest Sons of Noble-men into the Parliament by Writ which would not augment the Nobility and yet fill the House But there were already sufficient to over-vote the Protestants for there remain'd of about Sixty nine Protestant Temporal Lords only four or five in Ireland to sit in the House and of Twenty two Spiritual Lords only seven left in the Kingdom of which Dr. Michael Boyle Arch-bishop of Ardmah Dr. Hugh Gore Bishop of Waterford Dr. Roan Bishop of Killalâ—o were excused on the account of Age and Sickness The other four were Dr. Anthony Dopping Bishop of Meath Dr. Thomas Otway Bishop of Ossory Dr. Simon Digby Bishop of Lymerick and Dr. Edward Wettenhall Bishop of Cork and Ross these were oblig'd to appear upon their Writs directed to them and King James was forced sometimes to make use of them to moderate by way of Counterpoise the Madness of his own Party when their Votes displeas'd him But in the general they protested against most of the Acts and entered their Dissent It is observable that all these Acts of this pretended Parliament are said to be by the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal whereas not one Spiritual Lord consented to many of them but on the contrary unanimously protested against them and at passing the Act of Attainder of which more hereafter they were not so much as present They complain'd of this but were refus'd redress and the express mention of their consent continued Of Thirty seven Papist Lords there appear'd besides the new created Lords Twenty four at times of which Fifteen were under Attainders by Indictments and Outlawries two or three were under Age and there remain'd only Six or Seven capable of Sitting and Acting Chancellor Fitton now Baron of Gosworth was Speaker of the House of Lords King James was present constantly in the House and directed them not only in their Debates but likewise in their Forms and Ceremonies hardly one in either House having ever sate in a Parliament before 14. The House of Commons makes the Third Estate in Parliament and 't is by them that the People have a more immediate Interest in the Legislative Power the Members of this House being such as are return'd by the Peoples Free Election which is look'd on as the Fundamental Security of the Lives Liberties and Properties of the Subject These Members of the House of Commons are elected either by the Free-holders of Counties or the Free-men of Corporations And I have already shew'd how King James wrested these out of the Hands of Protestants and put them into Popish Hands in the new Constitution of Corporations by which the Free-men and Free-holders of Cities or Boroughs to whom the Election of Burgesses originally belongs are excluded and the Election put into the Hands of a small number of Men named by the King and removable at his pleasure The Protestant Free-holders if they had been in the Kingdom were much more than the Papist Free-holders but now being gone tho many Counties could not make a Jury as appear'd at the intended Tryal of Mr. Price and other Protestants at Wicklow who could not be tried for want of Free-holders yet notwithstanding the Paucity of these they made a shift to return Knights of the Shire The common way of Election was thus The Earl of Tyrconnel together with the Writ for Election commonly sent a Letter recommending the Persons he design'd should be chosen the Sheriff or Mayor being his Creature on receipt of this call'd so many of the Free-holders of a County or Burgesses of a Corporation together as he thought fit and without any noise made the return It was easie to do this in Boroughs because by their new Charters the Electors were not above Twelve or Thirteen and in the greatest Cities but 24 and commonly not half of these on the place The Method of the Sheriffs proceeding was the same the number of Popish Freeholders being very small sometimes not a Dozen in a County it was easie to give notice to them to appear so that the Protestants either did not know of the Election or durst not appear at it By these means the pretended Parliament consisted of the most Bigotted Papists and of such as were most deeply Interested to destroy the Protestant Religion and Protestants of Ireland One Gerrard Dillon Serjeant at Law a most furious Papist was Recorder of Dublin and he stood to be chosen one of the Burgesses for the City but could not prevail because he had purchased a considerable Estate under the Act of Settlement and they fear'd lest this might engage him to defend it Several Corporations had no Representatives either because they were in the Enemies hands or else because the Persons named by the Charter for Electors were so far remote that they could not come in such Numbers as to secure the Elections for Papists against the few Protestants that were left still in the Charters and who lived generally on the place I have mark'd the Boroughs and Counties that had no Representatives in number about Twenty nine few Protestants could be prevail'd with to stand tho they might have been chosen because they foresaw no possibility of doing good and thought it unsafe to sit in a Parliament which they judged in their Conscience Illegal and purposely design'd for Mischief to them and their Religion however it was thought convenient that some should be in it to observe how things went and with much perswasion and Intreaty Sir John Mead and Mr. Joseph Coghlan Counsellors at Law were prevail'd on to stand for the University of Dublin the University must chuse and it could not stand with their Honor to chuse Papists and therefore they pitch'd on these two Gentlemen who were hardly brought to accept of it as thinking it Scandalous to be in so ill Company and they could not prevail with themselves to sit out the whole Session but withdrew before the Act of Attainder
further reserv'd to prove a Correspondence against the few Estated Men that were in the Kingdom Lastly It was the end of Sept. 1688. before we heard any thing of the Prince of Orange's design to make a Descent into England and yet to have been in England or Scotland any time in the Month before or to have corresponded with any there is made Forfeiture of Estate by the Letter of this Statute 4. Least the Children and Descendents of the Protestants thus attainted who had Estates before 1641. should come in and claim them after the Death of the attainted Persons by virtue of Settlements made on valuable Considerations and upon Marriages all such Remainders and Reversions are cut off for there is an express Exception to all Remainders on such as are commonly call'd Plantation-lands and likewise to such Lands c. as are held by Grants from the Crown or upon Grants by Commissioners upon defective Titles It were too tedious to explain these several kinds of Tenures it is sufficient to let the Reader know that they comprehend all those Estates which were acquir'd by Protestants before the year 1641. Thus then the case stood with the Protestants if they purchased or acquired their Estates since the year 1641. out of any of the Lands then forfeited they were to lose them whether Guilty or Innocent by the Act of Repeal if their Estates were such as belong'd to Protestants before 1641. and consequently were what we call Old Interest then to have been in England or Scotland or to have corresponded with any of their Friends there or in the North since August 1. 1688. was a Forfeiture of Estate and a Bar for their Remainders for ever tho the Heirs had done nothing to divest themselves of the Estates derived to them by legal Settlements on valuable Considerations And here the Partiality of this Parliament is visible for there is a saving in the Act for all such Remainders as they thought might relate to any Papist whereas all the Remainders in which they did imagine Protestants could be concern'd are bar'd 5. There is indeed a promise of reprizing Purchasers in the Act of Repeal which was put in to qualifie the manifest Injustice of it and to satisfie the Clamors of several amongst themselves who were to lose their Estates by it as having purchased new interested Land But least any Protestant who staid in the Kingdom should hope for Benefit by this Clause or be repriz'd for the Lands he had purchased perhaps from a Papist they contrive a Clause in the latter end of the Act Whereby the King is enabled to gratifie Meriting Persons and to order the Commissioners to set forth Reprizals and likewise to appoint and ascertain where and what Lands should be set out to them By which the Protestants were excluded from all hopes of Reprizals for to be sure where any of them put in for a piece of Land there would never want a Meriting Papist to put in for the same and when it was left intirely to K. James which he would prefer of those two let the World judge what hope any Protestant could have of a Reprizal Thus when Sir Thomas Newcomen put in Proposals for a Custodiam in order to a Reprizal Mr. Robert Longfield a Convert and Clerk of the Quit-rents and Absentees Goods is said to have put his own Name to Sir Thomas's Proposal and to have got the Custodiam for himself 6. Lastly Some might think that tho near 3000 Protestants were attainted and the Estates of all the rest in a manner vested in the King yet this was only done in terrorem and that K. James never meant to take the Forfeiture To this I answer That it was not left in his power to pardon any that was attainted or whose Estate was vested in him by this Act this was if we believe his Majesty more than he knew when he pass'd it and was one reason why the Act of Attainder was made so great a Secret that no Copy could be gotten of it by any Protestant till the Easter after it was pass'd and then it was gotten by a meer accident We had from the beginning labor'd to get it and offer'd largely for a Copy but could not by any means prevail Chancellor Fitton keeping the Rolls lock'd up in his Closet till at last a Gentleman procur'd it by a Stratagem which was thus Sir Thomas Southwell had been condemned for High-Treason against King James amongst other Gentlemen at Gallway in March 1688. and attainted in the Act of Attainder also he continued a Prisoner till my Lord Seaforth became acquainted with him my Lord undertook to reconcile him to the King and to get his Pardon K. James promis'd it on the Earl's Application and order was given to draw up a Warrant for it The Gentleman I mentioned being a Lawyer and an Acquaintance of Sir Thomas's was employ'd to draw it up he immediately apprehended this to be a good opportunity to get a Copy of the Act of Attainder which he had labor'd for in vain before and which was kept from us by so much Injustice He told the Earl therefore and Sir Thomas what was the real Truth that he could not draw up an effectual Pardon except he saw the Act that attainted him Hereupon the Earl obtain'd an express order from the King to have a Copy deliver'd to him Thus I believe was the only Copy taken of it after it was inrolled it was taken for the use of a Papist and was lent to the Earl who was permitted to shew it to his Lawyer and accordingly left it with him only for one day who immediately imploy'd several Persons to Copy it and the Copy was sent by the first Opportunity into England The List of the Names of those that were attainted had been obtained the January before with difficulty the Commissioners in the Custom-house who seiz'd Absentees Goods and set their Estates could not do their Work without such a List and that which was Printed in England with some of the Acts of our Irish Parliament was coppied from thence but the Act it self could not then be procured and therefore was not Printed with them When the Lawyer had drawn up the Warrant for Sir Thomas's Pardon with a full Non obstante to the Act of Attainder the Earl brought it to the Attorney General Sir Richard Nagle to have a Fiant drawn the Attorney read it and with Indignation threw it aside the Earl began to expostulate with him for using the King's Warrant at that rate The Attorney told him That the King did not know what he had done that he had attempted to do a thing that was not in his power to do that if the Earl understood our Laws or had seen the Act of Attainder he would be satisfied that the King could not dispense with it My Lord answered That he understood Sense and Reason and that he was not a Stranger to the Act of Attainder Sir Richard would

Thresh part of his Corn for his own use During which time they took away all his Stock of Sheep Black Cattel and Horses and the Soldiers from Navan Commanded by one Captain Farrel fetcht away all his Corn and Hay Some of his Irish-Servants telling him It was not safe for him to come down or lye in his own House He lay in a Neighbours House This was on a Friday-Night and the next Day he went to Dublin On Sunday Night the 5th of May 1689. they came and set Fire to his House in several places and burnt it down and all his Goods believing he was in the House Afterwards giving out That he had order'd his own Servants to Burn it And soon after came up one William Carton his Shepherd who told him That the Fryar and Priests at Navan were very angry with him and Threatned him because he did not countenance that Report and also own that his Servants had Burnt his House by his Order All this was done by the Neighbourhood within 3 or 4 Miles about him A Brief of the Case of the Charter of Londonderry upon which Judgment was given against it Quo Warranto against the Corporation of Londonderry to shew why they Claim'd to be a Body Politick and to have and use certain other Priviledges THE Corporation pleaded their CHARTER whereby those Priviledges were granted to them eo Warranto they claim to have and use those Priviledges Tho King's Attorny Replies and saith That since their Charter the Act of Settlement impowers the Lord Lieutenant and Council to make Rules and Orders for the Regulating Corporations That accordingly such Rules were made for this Corporation among which One was That they were to Elect at a time different from that in the Charter and Return the Names of the Persons the Corporation should elect yearly to be Mayor and Sheriffs to the Lord Lieutenant and to be approved of unde ex quo that they did not so elect and send the Names of such elected to be so Approved they forfeited their Priviledges The Corporation in their Rejoynder gave a full Answer to this New Matter raised in Replication on these New Rules and set forth That they did all along yearly elect and send up the Names elected according to the Rules and that they were Approved c. But further insisted at the Bar That they needed not to have any further Rejoynder to the said Replication or given any Answer as to the Matter in the said Replication alledged because admitting the Allegations in the said Replication to be true yet the Replication assigns no breach by the Corporation For all that comes after the Unde ex quo is but a Conclusion and solely a Conclusion without any Premisses for tho' the New Rules be set forth yet 't is not said in all the Replication That the Corporation did not act pursuant thereto but only saith Unde ex quo they did not c. 1. The Court said The Answer given to the New Rules was a Departure from the Matter pleaded viz. They Justifie in the Plea by the Charter and in their Rejoynder they say They chuse according to the New Rules which is another Warrant to chuse and so the Plea vitious To which the Corporation Reply'd That a Departure is when a Party in a Rejoynder sets up a New Title to a thing or a New Justification not set up in the Plea But here they still Justifie by their Charter and the New Rules made subsequent is only to the Modus of Chusing in respect of Time c. but the Power of Chusing is still by the Charter 2. The Plea was not only a Plain Answer to a short Question demanded by the Quo Warranto viz by what Warrant they claimed their Priviledges and the Matter of the New Rules was set up by the King in his Replication to which they had no opportunity of Answering till they Rejoyn'd 3. If it had been material to be set forth in the Plea yet it being a Condition subsequent if any thing and going in destruction of the Corporation Priviledges they ought not first by the Rules of Law to set it forth but it ought first to come on the Adversaries part 4. The Corporation urged That the New Rules did not in Law work any Forfeiture of Priviledges in case they were not observed for they were in the Affirmative only and the Rule of Law is That Acts in the Affirmative take not away a former Power of doing a thing but the same may be done either the first way or the second Notwithstanding all which on the said pretended defect in Pleading the Merits of the Cause never coming in question the Court gave Judgment against the Corporation N o 8.

not hold for the Reasons aforesaid Thirdly There is no such thing as Restitution of Temporal Estates in England for they were wiser there than to lose their Estates though they would be free to consent or advise that others may so it is very free for the King to make any Settlement of any Spiritual or Temporal Estates there as he shall think fit notwithstanding any Settlement he makes in Ireland Now remains I think one Objection to solve which may give some Obstruction to this intended Settlement which is that of the Gown-men or others who made Purchases of some New Interests bona fide Must they lose 〈◊〉 Purchase and Money To which I answer That although it may be reply'd Caveat emptor especially to the Gown-men who knew best of all that horrid Act of Settlement or so called was most unjust and could by no true Law hold yet because they are Persons useful for the Common-wealth and acted bona fide seeing the Estate out of the Ancient Proprietors Hands by so many Publick Acts as it was not like ever to come to him again there ought an Expedient to be found for the like that they be not losers and that either they or the Ancient Proprietors may be recompensed one way or other rather than it should be an Obstacle to the common Good And so I have done with this matter which I leave and recommend to God and you This is all the advice I can now give upon this matter and the Observations I make by my Conversation and Acquaintance with the People this year past and I am sure I am not deceived in my Opinion of them in relatition to 78 nor in the reasons they will make use of to perswade you to neglect your own Interest to save theirs and I am no less certain 27 is all inclined that way So you are to look to your selves and whilst Sun shines to make your Hay Nune tempus acceptabile Nunc dies Salutis Dum ergo tempus habemus operemur bonum maxime ad domesticos fidei 92 if authoriz'd will make all this Court go in your way by shewing them it is their Interest of which he has laid some Foundations already There remains another Observation which is That a Benedictine English Monk called Price is gone thither with the King who pretends to play that we call here premier aâ—mosnier in England they call it Clerk of the Closet to the King which Father Peters had there And here it is always a Bishop Now the Bishop of Orleans whose Office is to assist the King at Mass and all other Ecclesiastical Functions as Chief when the Lord High Almoner is not present gives the orders and spiritual directions cum privilegio exceptionis in the King's Palace and Liberties of it Why should we in our Country have any in that place but one of our selves Let them take place in England and so why would not you have this place for your self there or get it for M. B. and exercise the Functions in his absence rather than a Stranger should have it before our face and laugh at us Now to other business you are to know your business in Rome is concluded upon and past all difficulties only remains the Expedition of the Bulls which you may ever move as you please The Expences whereof by Dr. Sleyn's great care and Sollicitation with the help of Cardinal Howard and means of Monsieur Casone Favorite to his Holiness are reduced to a hundred Roman Crowns though it cost Dr. Fuller for worse 170. notwithstanding all the Favours and Sollicitations which were many he could employ Dr. Sleyn this Seignior Cousin should be thanked by a Civil Letter to which I wrote one of which I here send you a Draught you No. 19.

Judicature in such a method as tended to destroy the Protestant English Interest of Ireland 1. THE support and happiness of a Kingdom consists chiefly in the equal and impartial Administration of Justice and that depends on the choice of fit and duly qualified Persons for filling the Courts and Executing the Laws but King James made choice of such Persons for these Offices as were so far from answering the intent of their Places that they made it their business to destroy the Protestant Interest and the Laws that preserve the Liberty of the Subject in general by those Laws no Man was capable of being a Judg who had not taken the Oath of Supremacy The Judges he found on the Bench had taken it but yet some of them were known to be rather too favourable to Papists and considering the influence King James had in his Brothers time in disposing of Offices it is not to be imagined that he would suffer any Man to sit as a Judge who had not been favourably represented unto him in that Point though we must own he was mistaken in some of them hence it came that Protestants did frequently complain of the Favour and Countenance their Adversaries found in the Courts of Justice even in King Charles II. time But when King James came to the Crown moderate nay favourable Judges would not do the Work he designed He found it necessary to Employ the most Zealous of his Party those who both by Interest and Inclination were most deeply ingaged to destroy the Protestant English Interest and accordingly such were picked out and set on all the Benches 2. The Chancery is the great and highest Court wherein the great Frauds and other matters belonging to Trusts and Equity are determined and neither the Lord Primate Boyle who had managed that Court about twenty years nor Sir Charles Porter who succeeded him could answer the Kings intention but Sir Alexander Fitton of whom I have already given some account a Person detected of Forgery not only at Westminster and Chester but likewise Fined by the House of Lords in Parliament must be brought out of Goal and set on the highest Court of the Kingdom to keep the Kings Conscience though he wanted Law and natural Capacity as well as Honesty and Courage to discharge such a Trust and had no other quality to recommend him besides his being a Convert Papist that is a Renegado to his Religion and his Country but the mystery of this was easily found out The Papists of Ireland had gone a great way to retrieve the Estates they had forfeited by the Rebellion 1641 by counterfeit Settlements Forgeries and Perjuries and to do their business in a great measure there needed no more than to find a Judg that would be favourable to and countenance such proceedings and where could they find a more favourable Judg than one who was notoriously involved in the same guilt and who probably in some Cases did not esteem such Arts unlawful but besides this there is requisite to a Chancellor a peculiar quickness of Parts and Dexterity to penetrate into the contrivances of Cheats and Forgeries for which Sir Alexander Fittons natural slowness and heaviness incapacitated him but this very defect together with his Zeal for Popery fitted him to execute the Kings design as effectually as any that could have been found He could not understand the merit of a Cause of any difficulty and therefore never failed to give Sentence according to his inclination having no other Rule to lead him and how he was inclined towards Protestants appeared from his Declarations on all occations against them he did not stick on a Hearing to declare that they were all Rogues and that amongst forty thousand there was not one who was not a Traitor a Rebel and a Villain for this Reason he would not allow the Guardianship of a Child to the Protestant Mother but gave it against the positive words of the Law to the Popish Relations for this Reason he refused to hear so much as a demurrer in the Popish Dean of Christs Church Mr. Staffords Case For this Cause he over-ruled both the common Rules of Practice of the Courts and the Laws of the Land declaring in open Court that the Chancery was above all Laws that no Law could bound his Conscience and he acted accordingly in many Cases where Protestants were concerned After hearing a Cause between one of them and a Papist he would often declare that he would consult a Divine before he gave a Decree that is he would have the Opinion of a Popish Priest his Chaplain Educated in Spain and furnished with Destinctions to satisfie his Conscience how far he should do Justice to Protestants many Papists came and made Affidavits of being in Possession when they never were and got Injunctions and Orders without any more ado to quiet their Possessions But a Protestant though never so palpably disturbed could not procure any Order but was sent to the Common-Law to recover his Possession by a Popish Jury returned by a Popish Sheriff before a Popish Judg that is he must expect Law from Judges and Officers that Sate and Acted in defiance of Law If at any time the Chancellor was forced to grant an Injunction or Decree it was with all the difficulties and delays that could be and often the thing was lost and destroyed before the Order came for recovering it 3. The Administration of Justice and Equity is the great end of Government and it is as good nay better to be without Governours than to have Governors under whom Men cannot reasonably hope for these We see from the choice of a Chancellor what care King Iames took for the Administration of Equity to Protestants To help the matter he added as Assistants to the Chancellor Mr. Stafford a Popish Priest for one Master of the Chancery and Felix ô Neal Son of Turlogh ô Neal the great Rebel in 1641 and Massacrer of the Protestants for another To these generally the Causes between Protestants and Papists were referred and upon their Report the Chancellor past his Orders and Decrees 4. The Courts of Common-Law were put into the same method and great care taken to fill them with Judges who might be ingaged in a profest enmity to the Protestant Interest In Ireland there are only three Judges on a Bench and it was thought fit for a colour till things were Riper to keep one Protestant on every Bench but whilst there were two Votes to one the Protestant Judg could neither do Right to Protestants or retard a Sentence to be given in the favour of a Papist This mock method of seeming to trust Protestants they took likewise in naming Burgesses and Aldermen for Corporations they generally put some few into their New Charters to serve for a pretence of impartiallity and yet to signifie nothing this Method of continuing some few Protestants in Courts and Corporations serving only to silence and exasperate us to be thus
at all at least without any given in their Warrants it was time enough to invent some against the next Assizes There never wanted Evidence enough to accuse a Man the very Priests being forward to encourage such Perjuries as were to the prejudice of Protestants Of this there are several Instances on Record in the Courts of Justice where we find them sometimes swearing Falshoods themselves and sometimes encouraging others to do it Of which the Courts even in spite of all their partiality were satisfied I gave one Example before in Sir William Petty's Case There is another of Mr. Balfours in the County of Fermanagh where the false Affidavit of one Hultaghan a Priest had almost destroyed his Cause and lost him a considerable Estate 2. Upon this account Perjuries became so common that if a Tenant owed his Protestant Landlord his Rent he payed him by swearing him into a Plot or by fixing on him some Treasonable or Seditious Words If a Papist had any former Quarrel with his Protestant Neigbor or owed him Money he paid him in the same Coin Many were indicted by these Contrivances many found guilty and excessively fin'd some were imprisoned for their Fines not being able to satisfie the King who seised both their Bodies and Estates Hardly any County in Ireland was free from numerous Indictments of this kind and very few Country Gentlemen escaped being accused Great numbers were indicted and found guilty in the Counties of Wexford and Wicklow to the number at least of sixty the most considerable Gentlemen in the County of Meath were indicted but had better luck the Perjury of their Accusers being made so manifest that even a Popish Bench had not the confidence to countenance it nor a Popish Jury to find it Thus Mr. Meredith Mr. Parry Mr. Chetwin a Minister and several others escaped having discovered the very bottom of a wicked Contrivance to carry on a Trade of Swearing against all the Gentlemen in the Country but though they discovered it yet they durst not prosecute it by reason of some Priests being concerned in it and of the Discountenance of the Courts a great many in the County of Tipperary were likewise brought into Trouble but escaped the first time by a kind of Miracle one of the Jurors was so maliciously bent against them that he swore he would die before he would acquit them It happened to him according to his own desire he fell dead in the place whilst they were disputing about returning the Verdict which saved the Gentlemen for that time Yet this did not discourage their Prosecutors they caused them to be indicted anew and upon their second Tryal Justin Macarty afterwards made Lord Mountcashell by King James came into the Court threatened and hectored Sir John Mead who then sate as Judge for the Duke of Ormond it being within his Graces Palatinate because he would not direct the Jury to find them guilty but Sir John stood his Ground and declared that there was no sufficient Evidence against them upon which they were acquitted It vexed them that they could not bring their Popish Judges and Sheriffs into that County as they did into the rest of Ireland by reason that the nomination of them was in his Grace as Lord of the Regalities and therefore in their pretended Parliament they not only Attainted him but likewise by a particular Act dissolved his Principality Their First Plot against the Gentlemen of the County having miscarried they began a second and got Depositions against several but they were as unlucky in this as in the first They laid the Scheme of their Affairs so unskilfully that the Witnesses swore that the Gentlemen met to carry on their Plot at Nenagh a place above sixty Miles from Dublin on the same day that some of them had been examined before the Council Board on the first Informations This appearing to the Council by an entry made in their own Books quashed the Design against them and saved them a third time It would make a Volume to enumerate all the Particulars of this Nature 3. The new Mayors and Justices of the Peace were no less troublesome to Protestants in their Employments they made no scruple to send their Tokens and Warrants for Persons of the best Quality And wherever a Papist and Protestant had any difference there needed no more but a complaint to procure a Committal and to be sure it was done with all the indignity and affronting Circumstances imaginable Sir Thomas Hackett whilst Lord Mayor of Dublin did so many brutish and barbarous things of this nature that it were endless to recount them taking example from the Lord Tyrconnel who made him Mayor he treated every body with Oaths Curses ill Names and barbarous Language The Lord Primate Boyles Family could not escape his Warrants he or his Clerk as he afterwards pretended sent one for Mr. Francis Cuff and Mr. Jephson who lived in my Lords Family being his Son in Law and Nephew their Crime was refusing to Contribute to the maintenance of two begging Fryars one of them was one Magee a Debauchee and Renegado who had the impudence to have demanded it from my Lord Primate if he had been permitted access The Fryars vexed that they should be repulsed procured a Warrant for the two Gentlemen that refused them and attempted the Execution of it in my Lord Primates House with a Rabble of near two hundred Sir Thomas was not content to Execute his Authority within his own Precincts but extended it where the Mayors Power was never owned He sent his Warrant and committed the Officers of Christs Church Dublin to the Stocks because he fancied they did not make the Bells ring merrily enough for the Birth of the Prince of Wales It was in vain for the Officers to tell him that their Church and Persons were not subject to his Jurisdiction that if the Bells did not ring merrily enough as he alledged it was the Ringers fault not theirs That no body besides his Lordship could observe any such thing in their Ringing His brutish Passion would not give him leave to hearken to Reason but upon all occasions he proceeded in the same method which made every body that valued his Liberty get out of his Power and prevailed with a great many to leave their Estates and Concerns and Transport themselves and what Effects they could carry with them into England It was unsafe and uneasie living both in the City and in the Country and he reckoned himself happy that could get out of them at any rate 4. But when the Descent was made by his present Majesty into England things grew yet more troublesome The Protestants were every where Robbed and Plundered The new Commissioned Officers and their Souldiers under the new name of Rapperies committed many Outrages and Devastations on their Protestant Neighbours insomuch that they could not be safe in their Houses If any endeavoured to keep their Houses though merely to secure themselves from the
consideration of their Friends whom their Enemies treated barbarously in their sight could prevail with them to give up themselves or their cause but by patience and resolution they wearied out their Enemies and instead of letting them make approaches to their Walls they enlarged their Out-works upon them and made them confess after a Siege of Fifteen Weeks that if the Walls of Derry had been made of Canvas they could not have taken it The same may be said of the People of Enniskillin who lived in a wild Country and untenable place surrounded with Enemies on every side and removed from almost all possibility of Succour being in the heart of Ireland yet they chose to run all Hazards and Extremities rather than trust their Faithless Enemies or contribute to the ruin of the Protestant Interest by yielding After almost all their Gentry of Estates or Note had left them or refused to joyn heartily with them they formed themselves into Parties and though in a manner without Arms and Ammunition yet by meer Resolution and Courage they worsted several Parties of the Enemy and almost naked recovered Arms and Ammunition out of their Hands and signalized themselves in many Engagements by which they not only saved themselves but likewise did considerable Service to the Protestants that were under the Power of King James for this Handful of Men by their frequent Incursions and carrying off Prisoners in every Engagement terrified even the Papists of Dublin into better Humour and more moderate Proceedings as to the Lives of Protestants that lived amongst them than perhaps they would otherwise have been inclined to They saw from this that their Game was not so sure as they imagined and the Prisoners taken by those of Enniskillin were Hostages for their Friends that lived in Dublin and the Humanity with which the Prisoners were used there was a Reproach on the Barbarity exercised by the other Party In short it appeared that it was neither Malice nor Factiousness that engaged them in Arms but meer Self-preservation and the Obligation of their Tenures and Plantations by which they were bound to keep Arms and Defend themselves and their Country from the power of the Popish Natives which were then Armed against them 13. But to return to the Lord Deputy's Proceedings in his new Levies in order to gain time and delude the Protestants he sent for the Lord Mountjoy out of the North after he had compounded the business of Derry and perswaded him to go with Chief Baron Rice to King James into France to represent to him the weakness of the Kingdom and the necessity to yield to the Time and wait a better opportunity to serve himself of his Irish Subjects The Lord Tyrconnel swore most solemnly that he was in earnest in this Message and that he knew the Court of France would oppose it with all their Power for said he that Court minds nothing but their own Interest and they would not care if Ireland were sunk to the Pit of Hell they are his own Words so they could give the Prince of Orange but Three Months diversion but he added if the King be perswaded to ruin his fastest Friends to do himself no Service only to gratify France he is neither so Merciful nor so Wise as I believe him to be If he recover England Ireland will fall to him in course but he can never expect to Conquer England by Ireland if he attempts it he ruins Ireland to do himself no kindness but rather to exasperate England the more against him and make his Restoration impossible and he intimated that if the King would not do it he would look on his Refusal to be forced on him by those in whose power he was and that he would think himself obliged to do it without his Consent 14. Every body told the Lord Mountjoy that this was all sham and trick and that the design was only to amuse the Protestants and get him who was the likeliest Man to head them out of the way But his Answer was that his going into France could have no influence on the Councils of England who were neither privy nor Parties to it and if they had a mind to reduce the Kingdom it was easy to do it without his Assistance that he must either go on this Message now the Deputy had put him upon it or enter into an actual War against him and against such as adhered to King Jame's Interest that he did not think it safe to do the latter having no order or encouragement from England but on the contrary all the Advice he received from thence was to be quiet and not to meddle that he was obliged to King James and neither Honour Conscience nor Gratitude would permit him in his present Circumstances to make a War on his own Authority against him whilst there was any possibility of doing the business without one Upon these considerations against the general Opinion of all the Protestants in Ireland he undertook the business and went away from Dublin about the Tenth of January 1688 having first had these general Concessions made him in behalf of the Protestants 1. That no more Commissions should be given out or new Men raised 2. That no more of the Army should be sent into the North 3. That none should be questioned for what was passed And 4. That no Private House should be garrison'd or disturb'd with Soldiers these he sent about with a Letter which will be found in the Appendix But he was no sooner gone but the Lord Deputy according to his usual Method of Falshood denyed these Concessions seemed mighty angry at the dispersing the Letter and refused to observe any of them The first News we heard from France was that the Lord Mountjoy was put into the Bastile which further exasperated the Protestants against King James and made them look on him as a Violater of Publick Faith to his Subjects As for the Lord Deputy this clearly ruined his Credit if ever he had any amongst them and they could never after be brought to give the least belief to what he said on the contrary they look'd on it as a sure sign that a thing was false if he earnestly affirmed it 15. But it was not yet in his power to master them he had not sufficiently Trained and Exercised his Men but as soon as he found that nothing was to be feared from England before the End of Summer and that he was assured King James would be with him soon he laid aside his Vizour and fell upon disarming them It was no difficult matter to do this for in the very beginning of King James's Reign the Protestant Militia had been dissolved and though they had bought their own Arms yet they were required to bring them into the Stores and they punctually obeyed the Order Such of the Protestant Army as remained in the Kingdom after their Cashiering were likewise without Arms being as I shewed before both disarmed and strip'd upon
whole Troop of Horse on Two or Three Protestant Inns for some Months together till they wearied them out of their Trade drove away their Guests and broke them Sometimes they would compound for a Sum of Mony to be gone and then immediately send another Party as bad as themselves to succeed them by which means they ruined all the little Towns about Dublin and broke the Inhabitants The very first thing they did after they had gotten into the Army was to set a rate on Diet on hay and on Oats not above of what it cost the Innkeeper a thing to which they had been Strangers before but it seemed tolerable in respect of the Free Quarters to which they pretended afterwards though in effect it came to the same thing for they went away and never paid a Farthing for Meat or Drink or any other conveniencies allowed them in their Quarters only some gave Bills which were never paid nay they were not content to have their Meat and Drink and Quarters free but they so ordered the matter that their Quarters were generally better to them than their Pay They commonly had Billets on Three or Four Houses apiece every one of which paid them a certain rate per Week one private Soldier bragg'd that he had Fifteen Quarters the rate paid out of them was according to the quality of the House and the Person that had the Billet the very least was 18 d. or 12 d. per Week and the allowance to the Officers was proportional The truth of this is notorious to all in Dublin and is demonstrable from the number of Publick Houses which were obliged to quarter Men compared with the number of Men quartered in them The Houses were double in number to the Soldiers and yet every House had one or Two Soldiers at the least some Three some Four quartered on them for which they paid Weekly and yet so unreasonable were these Creatures that this would not satisfie them but they would go up and down the Country Stealing and Plundering Meat and Drink and forcing the poor Protestants to bring forth their whole Stock of Provisions of which they used to eat what they pleased and then destroy the rest that the Damned Whigs that is in their constant Dialect the Protestants might not have the benefit of it It was in vain to grumble or complain instead of remedy they were sure to have the injury redoubled upon them If any ventured to prosecute a notorious Robbery committed by a Soldier their Officers appeared in the Court for them and openly threatned the Jury if they found them Guilty Thus Colonel Luttrel afterwards Governour of Dublin appeared at Killmainham and brought off his Soldiers who were guilty of a Robbery by threatning the Jury and telling them that it should be worse for them if they found his Men guilty that the King's Souldiers must not be discouraged and must be allowed when in want to take from those that had meaning the Protestants and by his Authority he saved them being not only an Officer but one of the Justices of the Sessions And in the very Council Allbaville publickly owned that the Protestants durst not complain except they had a mind to be Massacred I use his Words 7. The Priests and Fryars were no less oppressive than the Soldiers they Multiplied in Dublin to Three or Four Hundred at the least they were well Fed and well Cloathed there were not more Lusty Plump Fellows in the Town than they insomuch that they were remarkable for it and reckoning that they consumed but Twenty Pound apiece one with another which was the least they cost the Town Eight Thousand Pound per Annum which is near Four times more than all the Protestant Clergy in Town received they built about Fourteen Chappels and Convents in Dublin and set up Two Nunneries all which came to a great Sum and a great part of it came out of the Protestants Pockets for they were such experienced Beggars that none escaped them and so importunate that none durst refuse them if any did they must expect to be the next who were Robbed They must be content to be Accused and Committed either on some secret Whisper or false Accusation The Insolency of the Friars may be guessed at by their Carriage to the Lord Primate Boyle Two of them as I had before occasion to remark came to demand Mony of him and because he refused them they procured a Warrant from Sir Thomas Hacket to commit his Son in Law and Nephew but others were forced to buy their Peace by large Contributions to them SECT X. The Progress King James made in destroying the Personal Estates of Protestants after the Revolution in England 1. THus the case stood with the Protestants of Ireland long before the Revolution happened in England Their Rents and Receipts were stopt their Expences multiplied and many were driven from their Houses and Farms their Trade decayed and their Towns and Villages destroyed by Robberies and Free Quarters but as soon as the new Levies upon pretence of resisting the Prince of Orange were made the mischief became much more universal and intolerable whereas before only Inns and Publick Houses together with Brewers Bakers Butchers and Chandlers were obliged to quarter Soldiers this Burden was now extended to all Gentlemen of the best quality if Protestants none being exempted this happened soon after the Lord Mountjoys going to France though the Lord Deputy as I noted before did possitively engage to him to the contrary in his Articles these new Guests committed all manner of rudeness and insolencies in their Quarters and drove away as many of the Gentry and Citizens as could steal a Passage or procure a License to be gone by bribing the Secretary Sir William Domvile a Gentlemen of about 80 Years of Age who had been Attorny General near Thirty Years as has been said had his House filled with them they treated the Old Gentleman so rudely and barbarously that all concluded it hastened his Death Some Roman Catholicks that were not known to belong to the Army would come to the Houses of Protestants and agree with them for their best Rooms and suitable Attendance and when they were to go away and should have paid instead of Mony they would present a Billet and then triumph in the trick they had put on their Landlords There are in Dublin about Seven Thousand Houses and it was very rare that King James had Four Thousand of the Army in Town and yet they ordered it so that every House had more or less quartered upon it Some Gentlemen had Ten some Twenty nay some Thirty quartered on them if there was no other Room they turned the Master or Mistriss of the Family out of their own Beds and sent both them and their Lodgers to provide for themselves not only Soldiers were thus quartered but likewise all Gentlemen Priests Fryars and some Noblemen that came with King James from France together with their Servants and
but by the legal course of Juries But King James and his Parliament intended to do the work of Protestants speedily and effectually and not to wait the slow methods of proceeding at the Common Law They resolv'd therefore on a Bill of Attainder and in order to it every Member of the House of Commons return'd the Names of such Protestant Gentlemen as liv'd near him or in the County or Burrough for which he serv'd and if he was a stranger to it he sent into the County or Place for information they were in great haste and many escaped them on the other hand some that were actually in King James's Service and fighting for him at Derry of which Cornet Edmund Keating Nephew to my Lord Chief Justice Keating was one were return'd as absent and attainted in the Act. When they had made a Collection of Names they cast them into several Forms and attainted them under several Qualifications and accordingly allow'd them time to come in and put themselves on Tryal the Qualifications and Numbers were as follow 1. Persons Attainted of Rebellion who had time given them till till the Tenth of August to surrender themselves and be tryed provided they were in the Kingdom and amenable to the Law at the time of making the Act otherwise were absolutely Attainted One Archbishop One Duke Fourteen Earls Seventeen Viscounts and one Viscountess Two Bishops Twelve Barons Twenty six Baronets Twenty two Knights Fifty six Clergymen Eleven hundred fifty three Esquires Gentlemen c. 2. Persons who were absentees before the Fifth of Novem. 1688 not returning according to the Proclamation of the Twenty fifth of March attainted if they do not appear by the First of September 1689. One Lord. Seven Knights Eight Clergymen Sixty five Esquires Gentlemen c. 3. Persons who were Absentees before the Fifth of November 1688. not returning according to the Proclamation of the Twenty fifth of March attainted if they do not appear by the First day of October 1689. One Archbishop One Earl One Viscount Five Bishops Seven Baronets Eight Knights Nineteen Clergymen Four hunder'd thirteen Esquires Gentlemen c. 4. Persons usually resident in England who are to signifie their Loyalty in case the King goes there the First of October 1689. and on His Majesties Certificate to the Chief Governour here they to be discharged otherwise to stand attainted One Earl Fifteen Viscounts and Lords Fourteen Knights Four hunder'd ninety two Esquires Gentlemen c. 5. Absentees by reason of sickness and noneage on proving their Loyalty before the last day of the first Term after their return to be acquitted and restor'd in the mean time their Estates Real and Personal are vested in His Majesty One Earl Seven Countesses One Viscountess Thirteen Ladies One Baronet Fifty nine Gentlemen and Gentlewomen 6. They vest all Lands c. belonging to Minors Ladies Gentlewomen in the King till they return and then upon Proof of their Loyalty and Faithfulness to King James they are allow'd to sue for their Estates before the Commissioners for executing the Acts of Repeal and Attainder if sitting or in the High Court of Chancery or Court of Exchequer and upon a Decree obtain'd for them there the Sheriffs are to put them in possession of so much as by the Decree of one of those Courts shall be adjudged them The Clauses in the Act are so many and so considerable that it never having been printed intire I thought it convenient to put it into the Appendix Perhaps it was never equall'd in any Nation since the time of the Proscription in Rome and not then neither for here is more than half as many Condemned in the small Kingdom of Ireland as was at that time proscribed in the greatest part of the then known World yet that was esteemed an unparallel'd Cruelty When Sir Richard Nagle Speaker of the House of Commons presented the Bill to King James for his Royal Assent he told him that many were attainted in that Act by the House of Commons upon such Evidence as fully satisfied the House the rest of them were attainted he said upon common Fame A Speech so very brutish that I can hardly perswade my self that I shall gain credit to the Relation but it is certainly true the Houses of Lords and Commons of their pretended Parliament are Witnesses of it and let the World judge what security Protestants could have of their Lives when so considerable a Lawyer as Sir Richard Nagle declares in so solemn an occasion and King James with his Parliament approves that common Fame is a sufficient Evidence to deprive without hearing so many of the Gentry Nobility and Clergy of their Lives and Fortunes without possibility of pardon and not not only cut off them but their Children and Posterity likewise By a particular Clause from advantages of which the former Laws of the Kingdom would not have deprived them though their Fathers had been found guilty of the worst of Treasons in particular Tryals 7. I shall only add a few Observations on this Act and leave the Reader to make others as he shall find occasion 1. Then this Act leaves no room for the King to pardon after the last day of November 1689. if the Pardon be not Enroll'd before that time the Act declares it absolutely void and null 2. The Act was conceal'd and no Protestant for any Money permitted to see it much less take a Copy of it till the time limited for Pardons was past at least Four Months So that the State of the Persons here attainted is desperate and irrecoverable except an Irish Popish Parliament will relieve them for King James took care to put it out of the power of any English Parliament as well as out of his own Power to help them by consenting to another Act of this pretended Parliament Intituled An Act declaring that the Parliaments of England cannot bind Ireland and against Writs of Errors and Repeals out of Ireland into England 3. It is observable with what hast and confusion this Act was drawn up and past perhaps no man ever heard of such a crude imperfect thing so ill digested and compos'd past on the World for a Law We find the same Person brought in under different Qualifications in one Place he is expresly allow'd till the First of October to come and submit to Tryalâ— and yet in another Place he is attainted if he do not come in by the First of September many are attainted by wrong Names many have their Christian Names left out and many whose Names and Sirnames are both put in are not distinguished by any Character whereby they may be known from others of the same Names 4. Many considerable Persons are left out which certainly had been put in if they could have gotten their Names which is a further proof of their hast and confusion in passing the Bill It is observable the Provost Fellowâ— and Scholars of the Colledge by Dublin are all omitted the Reason was
the assistance of so wise a Council will disperse I must needs say both from my own Observation and the Information I have had from my Lords the Judges who often visit the whole Kingdom that there is a great readiness and willingness in all People to serve and obey the King I must here a little enlarge to your Excellency because I reckon my self bound to give the King an account of his Subjects and I would not willingly say any thing when I am at such a distance which I have not mentioned here The English in this Country have been aspersed with the Character of being generally Fanaticks which is a great Injury to them I must do them the justice to say that they are of the Church of England as appears by their Actions as well as Professions The Churches here are as much frequented and the Discipline of the Church as well observed as in England it self which is to be attributed to the Piety and Labour of my Lords the Bishops We of the Church of England can brag that when Rebellion overspread the three Kingdoms not one Orthodox Member of our Church was engaged against the Crown And in our late Disorders we can boast we were Opposers of the Bills of Exclusion and the Sense his Majesty has been graciously pleas'd to express of our Loyalty will never be forgotten by us I had the happiness to be born a Member of the Church of England and I hope God will give me the Grace to die one One thing the English of this Country have to glory in That of all his Majesty's Subjects they made the earliest Advances towards his Majesty's Restoration when the three Kingdoms were governed by Usurpers And after all the Endeavours of his Loyal Subjects in England seemed to be disappointed and there appeared no Hopes by the total defeating of Sir G. Booth the English then in this Kingdom offered to submit to his Majesty's Authority I do not say this my Lord to detract from his Majesty's R. C. Loyal Subjects many of whom I my self knew serv'd and suffered with him abroad but I speak it in justice to the others who did their Duty There is but one thing more I shall trouble your Excellency with I am sorry that I cannot say that I leave a full Treasure but I can say that I leave no Debts The Revenue is in good Order which must be owned to be due to the unwearied Industry and Diligence of the Commissioners The Army is intirely paid to Christmass day last and I have advanced a Month's Subsistence-money for January The Civil and Pensionary Lists are likewise cleared to Christmass I doubt not but your Excellency's Care will carry all things on in the same Method God Almighty bless the King and grant him long Life and I beseech God to prosper this excellent Country I received this Sword in Peace and I thank God by the King's Command I deliver it in Peace to your Excellency and I heartily wish you Joy of the Honour the King has done you A General Abstract of the Gross Produce of his Majesty's Revenue in Ireland in the three first Years of the Management beginning at Christmass 1682. ending Christmass 1685.  1683 1684 1685.
