or could the last Committee of Parliament crave of his Highnesse for enlargement of their jurisdictions immunities and liberties which was not liberally of his free Grace granted Let the whole World behold and see the free Grace and bounty of a Royall Virtuous and pious King and the disloyall ingratitude and heathenish immanity of a persidious and Rebellious people who have so Traiterously requited his King-like clemency and benignity For they have not only destroyed and made desolate his Kingdome in two moneths which hath been fourty years implanting since the last civill Wars but they have also robbed him of his Rents Revenues and Customes and part of those Subsidies which themselves had helped to confirm by Act of Parliament and robbed spoiled and murthered many of his Liege-people which should and would have cheerfully payed those Subsidies For they have destroyed all Merchandize and Trade throughout the Realm whereby even many of themselves and their impious faction must of necessity sh●●er infinitely millions of gold will not countervail the dammage on all sides One thing more in particular touching those of the Pale neer the City of Dublin and the confines is worthy to be related videlicet that when some of them had obtained Arms and Ammunition for 500. men with pretence to resist the Rebels besides those a forementioned for their private defence they returned answer that they could not levy so many men who would fight against the Rebels and therefore they would return the Arms and Ammunition and so did but not to the Castle of Dublin whence they received them but to the Town Droghedath which is now besieged between which and Dublin the some men now ly with an Arm. expecting doubtlesse shortly to have all those Arms again For the best of them who appeared most in getting forth chose Armes have since refused to come in upon Proclamation they have joyned themselves with the Rebels they have taken the Kings Subjects prisoners they have again r●leased them and given them passes from the Irish Army coloured with pretended authority in the Kings Name with their ●wn names and a Romish Priests or Fry●rs subscribed Was not this a neat Romish trick Let all these conveyances and occurrences be laid together and then let all the Princes and Nations of Europe judge and censure whether Religion can warrant such fraud and treachery treason and rebellion robbery spoil rapine bloudy cruelty and murders The primitive persecutions were exquisite torments of divers kindes full of tyranny and cruelty but they were short and made a speedy end of life but this new found way of persecution by cold and hunger much more terrible and exceedeth them all because it is a long lingring and languishing torment and so much the more cruell because exercised on women yea women great with childe Infants and Sucklings These tyrants and bloudy minded men certainly are not Kings nor Governours by what authority then exercise they such cruelty upon their fellow Subjects What can they say for themselves if they should answer before their King If they pretend religion though there be a mulct of ninepence each Sabbath upon every person of competent age absenting himself from Divine Service by a Statute Law enacted in the Realm they cannot alledge that it was put in execution or that they had not freedom for their Romish superstitions which to endeavor to convince them of by argument is but folly For their pretended Catholike cause which already appeareth to be the mother of treason and rebellion the sin of witchcraft murder and all other abominations and will shortly appear even to themselves to be the daughter of Antichrist and Antichristianisme must by an inevitable div●ned cree be convinced by fire and sword Not unto us O Lord not unto us but unto thy name give the glory for thy loving mercy and for thy truths sake For if the Lord himself had not been on our side now may we that survive since the day of discovery of their abominable treason and rebellion say when they rose up against us they had swallowed us up quick they were so wrathfully displeased at us Pr●ised be the Lord which hath not given us over as a prey unto their teeth The snare is broken and we are delivered It may be collected that King David in these precedent words of his prophecied of these later times and the Romish persecution For how were the snares broken and we delivered when there was but tenne houres left unrun out from catching us in their snare Meerly by the providence of God as the many formerly mentioned deliverances were It appeareth manifestly that the conspiracy had been long in batching and contriving with true Romish secrecy For the honest-man Owen O-Connely the discoverer being an Irish man but a Protestant as he hath declared to divers of his familiar friends having observed by discourse among the Irish that there was some enterprize in hand prayed for at their Masses in furtherance and good successe of the Catholike cause Although he had dissembled his Religion and frequented their Masses in places remote from his habitation where he was not known could never obtain a true discovery of the particular untill the very evening of the two and twentieth day of October when Hugh Mac-Moghan one of the conspirators intending to expresse his love to Owen O Connely and to rescue him out of the approaching danger and to that end having invited him by Letters and an expresse Messenger to ride with him a long journey to Dublin upon earnest affairs they with the rest being thither come opening his minde to Owen told him what the enterprise was videlicet the surprizall of the Castle of Dublin and Massacre of the Protestants and enjoyned him secrecy and fidelity Owen could do no lesse for his own safeties sake then give consent and promise fidelity and secrecy But withall he diswaded Hugh Mac-Moghan from the enterprize but did not prevail For Hugh Mac-Moghan answered that it was too farre gone he was so deepely engaged that he had vowed perseverance or to that effect If it be so replied Owen let us go on I will do my best or to that effect Notwithstanding his verball consent the good man moved with the fear of God love of his King and Country and commiseration of his fellow Subjects Christians and Protestants whom he well saw and knew were sure to be lost and ruined if the plot succeeded wisely reserving to himself his compunction of heart and loyall affection kept company with the Traytors and revelled with them in Taverns untill he had drunk too much but in the end watching his opportunity slipt away from them into one of the Lords Justices houses and discovered unto the Lord Justice the conspiracy to which the Lord Justice gave little credence at first because he perceived that Owen had d●●●k too much But the vehemency and importunity of Owen moved him to embrace and take the information to heart and immediately it being then late in the night to go to councell with his Peers and to take course for prevention of that wicked and damnable Treason and for apprehension of the conspirators who were eight or nine of them attached within eight or nine houres after a little before the prefixed hour of their intended mischief and the Lord Macguire about the midst of the same day For every particular of the manner of dise very it is not materiall to set out Owen O Conn●y best can and hath already told his own tale Herein is given only a brief touch of it whereout may be gathered that the finger of God was in it in framing the heart of Hugh Mac Moghan towards Owen O Connely and to discover that to him in the very point of time which he had so busily and industriously long sought alter Therefore let glory be given to God the principall discoverer Dated at Dublin the fourth of Ianuary 1641.
