DANIEL ONEALE This letter is from Collonel Daniel Oneale a Popish priest and an Irish rebell who was protected in the Kings Army when he broke out of the tower and hath since beene a great agent for the King in Jreland this Generall Oneale is neer alied in blood to Philome-Oneale to the great Okconeale and most of the cheefe of the plotters that first raised the rebellion in Ireland and he is the only man made choyse of the act for the King with the Marques of Ormond in Jreland and there is very secre tintercourse betwene Digby and this Daniel Oneale as you may see by their private carrestors nay you may see that he is a man highly esteemed on for he tels Digby of miscarriages and bids him have a care hereafter whom he doth trust But we may here see how their wheles have been going and what they have secretly plotted for the ruine of the protestants and the Parliament and the Kingdome 1. Generall Leshly and the Scots with him were largely offered if they would come in to the King but that would not prevale here The like was here to entise the Scots that were in Ireland to perswade them to come over into England to joyn with the King against the protestants here but that would not prevaile there neither and when more Scots came over into Ireland they were tryed too but still in vain 2. Then the Marques of Ormond he does what he can do with the Irish Rebells to perswade them to send over some ayd to the King and he could not prevaile of himselfe and therefore this Daniell Oneale he must help in the businesse and you see what accompt he gives of his prevailing The words are thus J have got the most refractory part of the supreame councell that were against the Marques that is those who hindred the going on of the treaty and who are they they are the Clergy he saith that is the priests and Iesuits and Fryers of Ireland for a party to conquer us here whilst Oneale himself subdues them that the protestants in Vister with his Army there 3. The Marques and the Irish Rebels had so plotted the businesse that in the first place a peace must be had with the Irish Rebels else it will be prejuditiall to his Majesty 4. In the next place the most eminent protestants in all Ireland they must be strictly looked to and secured for feare of acting any thing against the Papists Sir William Parsons Sir Adam Loftus Sir John Temple and Sir Robert Meridith although they had been persecuted before and each of them bound in ten thousand pound bonds a peece not to depart the Kingdomes and to be ready when they shall be called for at ten dayes warning yet that would not serve their tu●ne● they must be kept close prisoners because being true hearted honest protestants their liberty doth his Maiesty much hurt and he chargeth the Duke of Richmond and Web his secretary to be the cause of it though very unlikely and he beseecheth Digby that he will not let his Maiesty be sould to preserve any but the dutches of Richmond shee must be palpably disposed to now you must understand that if it be for such as are disposed for the good of the Catholique Religion they care not how the King is bought and sould for such 5. There is a great unity in the Church but we have not the key to unlock it but it is about hasting the Irish Rebels to the King and trading with forraigne papists for Armes and Ammunition 6. All this while there is a correspondency betweene the Marques of Ormond and the Queene and shee must strike the stroke in placeing the cheefe officers in Ireland as well as in England and perticulerly the vize treasurers place of Ireland which is Sir Adam Loftus his right though the Queen be resolved to have him out because he is a protestant and to put some Irish Papists in in his roome it seemes Spencer looked for it but Oncale here you see hopes to get 〈◊〉 from him and therefore knowing well that Digby will do his utmost in the behalfe of such an active Papist he tels him thus I have some hopes now saith he that your Lordships intersession for me will not be as fruitlesse as I immagined And thus the papists are one for another all they can to have the greatest places of trust and power in their hands and have prevailed much in it 7. In the last place he tells Digby that if the King durst cleer Cheshire and Lancashire before any thing else be done then the Irish will be wholly unservisable to him for England And the truth is if we take Chester as is hoped the Irish wil hardly land in Ingland for the future Now if we way these things well we may see how blind malignants are who will not see what a snare the Papists have layd for us and how much it concernes us to rise all as one man to Ioyne with the Parliament and with our persons lives estates goods and all we have adde and affect them till this popish party be totally subdued There are other letters which the Lord Digby sent to the Lord Byron from the King taken by Sir Iohn Gell which letters are to encourage him to hold out Chester that be shall be made field martiall Governour of Conway and Commander in cheefe of all the forces in Wales with directions what to do in case that he be put to straites much is written in Ciphers and divers perticulars of great consequence are discovered therein Subscribed DIGBY FINIS
