BY THE LORD DEPUTY AND COUNCIL Licensed according to Order March 22. 1688 / 9. TYRCONNEL WHEREAS several Persons in the Province of Vlster and the Town of Sligo in this His Majesties Kingdom have entred into several Associations containing no less offence than High Treason and thereupon formed themselves into several Parties dividing and marshalling themselves into several Regiments Troops and Companies marching well armed up and down the Countrey to the great Terror of the King's liege People in manifest breach of the Law and of the Peace of this Realm And having resolved within Our Selves to prevent the effusion of Blood as long as it was possible by using all peaceable meanes to reduce the said Malefactors to their obedience have of late issued a Proclamation setting forth the said Disorders requiring all the said Parties to disperse and repair to their several Habitations and Callings assuring every of them of His Majesties Pardon and Protection And whereas We find the said Offenders instead of complying with Our said Proclamation still to persist in their wickedness by continuing in actual Rebellion breaking of Prisons and discharging of Prisoners secured by due course of Law for Robberies Felonies and other hainous Crimes by seizing upon His Majesties Arms and Ammunition imprisoning several of His Majesties Army disarming and dismounting them killing and murdering several of His Majesties Subjects pillaging and plundering the Countrey and daily committing several other acts of Hostility and sinding no other way left to suppress the said Rebellion We the Lord Deputy have caused a Party of His Majesties Army under the Command of Lieutenant General Richard Hamilton to march into the Province of Vlster to reduce the Rebels there by the force of Arms the consequence whereof cannot be but very fatal to that Countrey and the Inhabitants thereof and will inevitably occasion the total ruine and destruction of that part of His Majesties Kingdom the consideration whereof hath given Us great disquiet and trouble of Mind that a Countrey well planted and inhabited should now by the insolency and traiterous wickedness of its own Inhabitants he brought to mine and desolation which we are still willing to prevent if any spark of grace be yet remaining in the hearts of those Conspirators hereby declaring notwithstanding the many Affronts by them put upon His Majesties Goverment notwithstanding the several acts of hostility by them hitherto committed that if they will now submit and become dutiful Subjects His Majesties mercy shall be extended to them excepting the persons hereafter excepted And in order thereunto We the Lord Deputy and Council do hereby strictly Charge and Command all such Persons in Arms in Vlster or the Town of Sligoe forthwith to lay down Arms and that the principal persons amongst them now in the North do forthwith repair to the said Lieutenant General Richard Hamilton and deliver up to him their Arms and serviceable Horses and to give him Hostages as an assurance of their future Loyalty and Obedience to His Majesty And that all their Adherents do deliver up their Arms and serviceable Horses to such person and persons as he the said Lieutenant General Hamilton shall appoint to receive them And We do also further Charge and Command all the principal persons of other Commotions and Insurrections in Sligoe to repair forthwith either to Us the Lord Deputy or to Colonel Mac Daniell at the Boyle and to deliver up their Arms and serviceable Horses and to give Hostages as security for their future peaceable deportment and their adherents to lay down their Arms to be delivered up together with their serviceable Horses to the said Colonel Mac Daniell We the Lord Deputy hereby giving safe conduct to such of them as will submit according to this our Proclamation And we do hereby further declare that such of the said persons as shall give obedience to these Our Commands except the persons hereafter excepted shall have His Majesties protection and pardon for all past offences relating to the said Commotions and Insurrections but in case they shall be so unhappy as to persist in their wicked Designs and treasonable Practices We the Lord Deputy do hereby Command all His Majesties Forces to fall upon them where ever they meet them and to treat them as Rebels and Traytors to His Majesty Yet to the end the innocent may not suffer for the crime of the nocent and that the committal of inhumane acts may be prevented We do hereby strictly Charge and Command His Majesties Army now upon their march to the North and all other His Majesties Forces that they or either of them do not presume to use any violence to Women Children aged or decrepit Men Labourers Plowmen or Tillers of the Ground or to any other who in these Commotions demeaned themselves inoffensively without joyning with the Rebels or aiding or assisting them in their traiterous actings and behaviours But in regard Hugh Earl of Mount Alexander John Lord Viscount Massereene Robert Lord Baron of Kingston Clotworthy Skevington Esq Son to the Lord Viscount Massereene Sir Robert Colvill Sir Arthur Rawdon Sir John Magill John Hawkins Robert Sanderson and Francis Hamilton Son to Sir Charles Hamilton have been the principal Actors in the said Rebellion and the persons who advised and fomented the same and inveigled others to be involved therein We think fit to except them out of this Our Proclamation as persons not deserving His Majesties mercy or favour Given of the Council-Chamber at Dublin the 7th day of March 1688.
