England with the News of the Prince of Orange's intending for England which no sooner arrived but Tyrconnel prepared to send several Detachments of the then standing Forces for England and accordingly sent away about 3000 of the fairest and likeliest of the Foot who were to be followed by more till they began to fear if they did that the Protestants who they knew they had deserved no better from might rise against them and therefore forbore that part of the Design for the present and forthwith speeded the raising of more Forces and by Christmass had their Army which before consisted of about 5000 Horse and Foot after the others came for England compleat 30000 Men and before the beginning of March without so much as beat of Drum or a Penny Charge to the King Tyrconnel had compleated the following Regiments of Horse Foot and Dragoons as they stood March 15. 1688 9.

Creagh Some consisting of 20 22 or 24 Hundred So that the whole amounted to about 80000 compleatly Accoutred and Disciplin'd all rais'd cloath'd and kept till that time at the proper Charge of their several Officers many of which were before but Taylors Coblers and such others as perhaps were scarce able to procure before Bread for their Families but now for managing this Blessed Cause sell all that ever they have and their Friends too to carry on the Holy Design In the mean time while the Men were raising Tyrconnel ordered all the Gun-smiths Carpenters and Joyners to be forthwith imployed for cleansing stocking and locking all the old Fire-Arms and the Cutlers for cleansing and sheathing the Swords which since the last Wars had lain rusting in the Stores and such as refused were sent to Prison till they comply'd who besides the old Locks were promis'd for each Musquet 10s and every Pistol 6s but when they will get it I know not some they were paid all along to keep Life and Soul together So that with the Arms he had the Summer before received from England Tyrconnel had not only Arms for his whole Army but many more and by the Priests had made all the other Papists in the Kingdom the Men to Arm themselves with Half-pikes and Skeins or Bayonets and the Women with Skeins or Bayonets and in case after a certain day any in the Country went to Mass without those Arms they were by the Priests obliged to pay a Shilling and curst by Bell Book and Candle So that in less than five months ** time the whole Body of the Irish Papists were every where Armed to the great terror of the Protestants and as they were naturally inclin'd to Theft so now they were by Authority put into an excellent condition to perform it which with the inability of the new Officers to maintain them upon destroying the Protestants which at first they began moderately by way of stealth in the Night but when the Owners began to grumble and complain to no purpose with much more violence and boldness and by degrees increased their Spoils till at length in open Day they spared not before the Owners Faces to drive away together often from one Man 100 sometimes 1000 Sheep 20 30 40 50 or 60 Cows Oxen and the like and such as would not drive and were not for their purpose they kill'd and carried away the Skin Hide and Tallow and left the dead Carkasses as dirty and useless as they could fit for nothing but Vermin and such as was not for their own purpose they drove or kill'd and carried to Fairs and Markets and sold to others of their own Breed who had not so much Courage and a little more Honesty than to steal a fat Weather which six or seven Months before was worth 9 or 10s for 1s and a fat Ox worth 3 or 4 〈◊〉 for 12 or 〈◊〉 a Cow of 50 s. for 5 or 6. s. But at length they proceeded further even to take away the Corn and Houshold-goods so that he that over-night was worth 9 or 4000l the next day or week had not a Morsel to put in his Head or Rag to hang on his Back but what Charity he received from other Protestants not yet so absolutely ruined At length they were so glutted with these Spoils that they began to be more absolute and fent or went to the Houses of such as their Mercy had not yet destroyed and supposed to have any Mony threatning that if they did not forthwith or within a certain time by them limited deliver to them such Sums as their Moderation thought fit to demand they would and did burn their Houses and Corn kill and leave their Cattel dead upon the Ground Among the rest one Franeis Baker a Merchant in Youghill in particular having in the County of Tipperary a stock of fat Cattel went about the latter end of January last to fetch them home hoping they might be more secure in Barrels and a Town of reasonable strength than in the open Fields but as he was marching a Crew of the new-raised Irish Forces met and demanded of him whither he was driving those Cattel and told him they had more right to them than he and unless he satisfied them must be content to leave them behind him whereupon he was forthwith forced to pay for those his own Cattel 15 or 16l Sterling which was as much as they would have yielded in their Mountain Markets And to be short the Spoil was so general and great that in December and part of January last they had destroyed in the Counties of Cork and Kerry above 4000 Head of black Cattel as Cows and Oxen and there and in the County of Tipperary 2 or 300000 Sheep And so in all other parts especially the Provinces of Minister and Leinster proportionably so that before the beginning of February it was thought they had destroyed in all parts of Kingdom

Warrant break open his Doors search his House rifle and take away what is liked and if any honest Protestant yet remained in Commission every shabby beggarly Rascal spared not the impudence to revile them to their Faces I have heard a meer Teague that could scarce pronounce a word of true English or sense beard the Lord Mayor of Dublin Sir John Knox when brought before him for Felony who though a Man of Courage did not dare to commit the Criminal Thus the poor Protestants of Ireland continued in this though miserable yet happy Condition in consideration to what they afterwards fell to till the Earl of Clarendon was sent thither Lord-Lieutenant upon whose arrival they began again to flatter themselves with hopes of more Comfort through the Interest and Favour of him that was so near related to the King and an assured Protestant but they to their Sorrow soon found his Wings clipt and Tyrconnel quickly sent after him with the Honour and Title of Earl the Office of Lieutenant-General and Check-master of the Army and Authority and Power to place and displace whom he pleased who accordingly forthwith put his Power in execution and issued out his Orders for modelling the Army which were no sooner given but obeyed and in all places the Army drawn into the Field and about ten or twelve of the oldest Men pick'd out and their Cloaths stript off and their Arms given to Irish papists before their Faces and when those parcels were disciplin'd others were still pick'd out and so from time to time till the whole Army was weeded of its Protestants and replenish'd with Irish Papists When all they could call old were culled then the Excuse was Shortness till the Popish Party was the stronger then they used no further excuse but being Protestants till the whole Protestant standing Army which was raised and at vast Expence both of Men and Mony to England there maintained for many Years to secure the Protestant Religion and English Interest in Ireland was by Popish Craft and Favour and Means of the great God Tyrconnel peaceably in one Year wholly destroyed and inverted into as Popish Power the whole Treasure of the Kingdom Cities and Garisons which were first constituted to keep them out wholly possest and disposed of by the Native Irish and those who of all Men were the greatest haters of the English and their Religion made the only Protectors of both and certainly must needs be in a blessed State when the Fox is set to watch the Geese and the Wolves the Lambs Now all things became bare-fuced and he that had but half an Eye might easily discern what was like to follow and such as had Stooks of Mony began by degrees to transmit it to England and dispose of their Effects and afterwards to steal away themselves while others whose Riches consisted mostly in Stocks which was in others Hands or had not wherewith to transport themselves and for a Livelihood were forced to abide the approaching Storm some to the loss others their Estates and most inevitable Ruin. While these things were doing Darrington a reputed Jesuit was sent over and made first Major and after Lieutenant-Colonel to the Royal Regiment in Dublin to fulfil that part of Dr. Oates's information in his discovery of the Popish Plot and one Barker formerly Page to the late Duke of Monmouth and one of King James's Converts Major and so proceeded to disband all Protestant Officers in the Army and first began with Sir William King then Governour of the Castle and City of Limrick Sir George St. George his Brother and such others as they had noted to be the most sober and zealous Protestants and placed Irish Papists in their places till all the Irish Army both Officers and Souldiers were Papists excepting only some few in the Regiments of the Lords Ment joy and Forbes and Col. Russel who were themselves Protestants and in a manner all the Protestant Officers left that first Year in the whole Army and who were kept in only to blind the People till their other work was finished and so have the favour to be devoured last Things being brought to this pass the whole Army Papists and none to oppose them they thought they safely might and accordingly fell to regulate the Civil Part and at one blast removed sive or six of the nine Protestant Judges and left but one upon each Bench for Ciphers to colour the Matter and drag up the rest to their own Justice and likewise the Protestant Chancellor Sir Charles Porter and most of the Protestant Privy Councellors and fill'd up their places with others of their own Party with such prodigious Broagues upon their Tongues that they could scarce pronounce one word of English truly and after these the Protestants which were the Attourneys Solicitors c. to the King were pack'd after the Judges In the mean time they set another Project on foot viz. To disband all the smallest of their own Souldiers as soon as they were well disciplin'd but not before and still took in larger till they had the Flower of the Country in the Army and still sent the Old to exercise the rest of their Breed in the Country So that when they had occasion to raise their fresh Forces they were mostly in a manner disciplin'd to their hand not in expectation of using them to their present purpose but in case King James had continued in the Throne and not answered their desire of restoring them to their Estates that they might be able to restore themselves by destroying all the English there and Darrington made two certain Sizes one for Musqueteers and another for Pikemen and those that were too short or long for his Standard when disciplin'd must trip off All things being now fitted to the purpose Tyrconnel and the new Attorney General Sir Richard Neagle dispatch'd to Whitehall with the Account and to advise about future Matters the Project of compleating their so successfully begun Work and after a short stay returned with Power to displace the Earl of Clarendon from the Government who indeed all discerning Protestants there easily perceived was kept in so long only to deceive the People till the Work could be brought to that secure perfection who eight days after his arrival at Dublin took his place as Lord Deputy-General and General-Governour of Ireland for Lord-Lieutenant he could not be because born in Ireland But the good Earl of Clarendon having an account of his approach and suspecting what might and indeed did follow resolved before his departure to consecrate the Chappel in the New Hospital near Dublin built for the use of old and decrepit Souldiers and is the finest in Europe of its kind and accordingly did before well finished hoping thereby to prevent its falling into the Papists Hands because the King had declared he would maintain the Church of England in all her Rights and Properties as established by Law. But Tyrconnel who though not so near related

above 1000000 Head of Cattel besides Corn and Houses and thereby utterly spoiled the most plentiful Country in these parts of Europe so that 20 Years of perfect Peace cannot be thought to restore it to the State in which it was at the Death of King Charles the Second The Protestants of Ireland alarm'd at these Devastations began to Arm and provide themselves against them and first the Citizens of London-derry understanding that two Companies of the new-rais'd Forces were marching to quarter in that City shut their Gates and resolved to stand upon their own Defence and when they came refused them entrance Whereupon the Lord Deputy Tyrconnel and the Privy Council thought it most expedient to send the Lord Mon●joy a Man of great esteem among the Protestants of that County with six Companies of his Regiment which he took from Dublins to reduce them who coming before the place demanded but was refused Entrance for two days In the interim it was concluded to receive him into the Town singly alone and being admitted it was concluded that provided he procured their Pardon within 14 days they would receive two Companies of his Men to he made up all Protestants to Garison in the Town and at the beginning of March as many Papists or as many more of any other Regiment which being perform'd on both hands the Lord Montjoy returned for Dublin and with the Lord Chief Baron Rice was sent for France to know the King's Pleasure but privately an Account was sent with him by Rice that he held correspondence with the Prince of Orange for which he was committed and still remains close Prisoner in the Bastile of Paris This Lord was no sooner gone for France but his two Companies left in London-derry with the City again revolted and John Hawkins Esq a young brisk zealous Protestant Gentleman of good Fortune and Interest in that Province accompanied with about 100 others well Armed and Mounted pursued the Example of the Lord Delamere in England and march'd from place to place to stir up the Protestants to Arm and Assemble together for their own Defence against the common Enemy and Abuses and in a short time was so succesful as to induce the whole Province of Vlster so to do except the Towns of Carigfergus and Ardmagh and among them the Lord Mount-Alexander Lord Blaney Sir Arthur Roden and several other Persons of Note and Quality And by their Example the Town and County of Sleigo in the Province of Connaught was moved to rise in like manner by the Lord Kingston and Chidly Coote Esq And soon after the Town of Ardmagh seized and disarmed a Troop of Dragoons that was quartered there and sent them away naked and several other Towns did the like And so and with Supplies they procured from Scotland armed themselves indifferently and formed themselves into Troops and Companies under the Command of the Persons of Quality afore-mentioned and began to take Reprizals for their Losses but Garrigfergus held out for the Irish all along In the mean time the Irish made it their Business to stop all Passages thither however many got to them some one way and some another and a little after Christmas about fifty Protestants that belonged to several Companies in Dublin about five at Night met and with their Arms marched toward the North all Night long and the next day till they had got about 40 Miles but being discovered Forces were sent to pursue them so that being over-powered they were taken and carryed Prisoners bound into Dublin Castle and thence commited to Goals where some of them still remain without tryal others were enlarged upon giving security for their good Behaviour and never to take up Arms against King James The next Day after they were brought in all the Protestants among the Horse were disbanded and their Horses Arms and Cloaths taken from them for which some of them had afterwards 5l for what cost them 20l. but many nothing to this day And Tyrconnel had all the Foot drawn out and at the head of them told them that such as pleased might lay down their Arms and Commissions upon which all the Protestant Officers and Souldiers that appear'd the next day did which much surprized his greatness but the Drums and Trumpets he would not permit not having any that were Papists to supply their places so that much against their wills they are forced yet to stay under them The Protestants in other parts being more intermingled with Irish than those of the North could not put themselves into so sudden a defensive posture however were not idle but as opportunity gave leave so that they might not be suspected provided such Arms and Ammunition as they could most conveniently procure till they were reasonably well Arm'd throughout the Kingdom and at the beginning of February at a place called Summerhill within 20 miles of Dublin there was got together about 300 Protestants and near the King's County under Sir Laurance Parsons such another Number At Charlevile the Seat of the Earl of Orrery within 12 miles of Limrick under Sir Thomas Southwell and Sir William King before mentioned 250 Horse and 160 Foot. At Mallow within 12 miles of Cork 300 Horse and 200 Foot under Esq Jephson and Captain C●llenger at Castlelions within 10 miles of Cork Under the Earl of Barrymore 200 Horse and 240 Foot. At Castle-Marter under Esq Boyle 60 or 80. And in most other Towns and Castles thereabouts the like numbers In Bandon 7 or 8000 Horse and foot all forming themselves into Troops and Companies and Exercising intending to put themselves under the Command of the Lord Inchiqueen and the aforesaid Boyle and had resolved and agreed that if any place were attacqued notice should be forthwith dispatch'd to all the rest and all were to join and march to its relief within 24 hours which Tyrconnel having notice of sent Express forthwith to Major General Mac-Carty then in Cork to draw out with three Pieces of Cannon against Castle-martyr who no sooner came before it but they received an express from those who intended to head them that it was thought fit and adviseable for them to surrender which they did upon Discretion and Boyle was taken and carried Prisoner to Cork and upon the surrender the like advice was given it is not convenient to tell here by who to all the rest thereabouts to depart to their respective Homes but Sir Thomas Southwell with 245 Horse marched directly towards the North but the Journey being-near 200 miles compleat and all through an Enemies Country and Expresses sent before to raise the whole Country and Forces every-where as they went which the poor Gentlemen pushed through till both they and their Horses being thoroughly spent for want of Meat and no longer able to hold were forced to submit and surrender up their Horses and Arms upon condition to have leave for themselves to return to their several Habitations But as there is no Faith to be kept with

Hereticks so these poor Creatures had no sooner parted with their Arms but they were all bound and drove like Dogs to the Goal of Galloway and the last Assizes there condemn'd to be Drawn Hang'd and Quartered but upon the second of April got a Reprieve for a month One Brown a Man of considerable Fortune was going with them but fearing to get thorough returned back went to a neighbouring Justice and told him where he had been but disliking the Enterprize was returned in obedience to the Lord Deputy's Proclamation of Pardon to give Security for his future good Behaviour however was forthwith by a strong Guard sent prisoner to Cork and was there afterwards tryed and executed for High-Treason while King James was there And in Phillips-town in the Kings County there are Sir Laurence Parsons and about 50 more under the same condemnation and in Marisborough in the Queen's County 13 or 14 and in several other parts the like numbers whose particulars are not yet come to the Authors hands which were taken much after the same manner Other parts being thus reduced Mac-Carty Forthwith drew all the Forces in Munster against Bandon a Town which till these Times never permitted a Papist to dwell within its Wallt and likewise forced them to Surrender and give five of their Town Hostages for the payment of 1000l for the trouble they had given his Army 500l of which they paid down and the other five was remitted upon a Petition to King James upon his landing at Kingsale During these Hurries in other parts there was not any rising in the County or City of Dublin however all were not idle but several Active Spirits a knot of six or seven in particular whose Names are not convenient to be mentioned here being most still under the Papists Lash promoted as 't was thought principally by one who upon the landing of the now King William in England for his Religion was singled out to taste of Popish Mercy with an Intent to seize the Castle and Guards of Dublin and send Tyrconnel for England And for the better effecting thereof had by Stratagems caused most of the Protestants there to Arm themselves though at the same time they knew not what for further than in case any Attempt were made by the Papists upon their Lives by way of Massacre as they certainly intended till happily discovered by an unknown Hand of their own Party to a Protestant Lord on the 5th of December which so allarm'd all Protestants that it was in vain to attempt it after and especially while the Protestants were any where in Arms for that would have made all desperate and not so easily to be reduced as they were but before the Protestants of Dublin could bring their business to bear and get Ammunition enough to resist such Force as might be brought against them before they could expect Supplies from England Tyrconnel began to suspect them and forthwith call'd such Supplies and Numbers of Horse and Foot thither that with what was there before made up 14 or 15000 Men whose Number and Presence spoil'd that great Project which otherwise was so well laid that it had certainly taken effect if put in execution and brought Tyrconnel for England and so saved the extream Ruin and Devastation the Protestants have since suffered through his Villany For any time before that great Force came to Dublin which was at the beginning of February 5000 Men well Arm'd in that City and commanded had been sufficient with what was ready and might have bin raised there to reduce not only Dublin but all Ireland But the noise of the forementioned designed Massacre and the Sufferings of others put People to the flight for England so fast and made those that stayed so dubious that it was hard to know who to trust there under the Nose of the Government and there was not one Person of Quality then there that would undertake to Head them tho often importuned and assured of 4000 Men well Arm'd at two hours warning and many of them well exercised and so many resolute good Souldiers as would have attempted to seize the Guards About this time a French Man landed at Cork and rid post to Dublin with assurance from King James to Tyrconnel of his speedy coming to his relief and on Friday the 22d of Feb. two of his Officers that had escaped from the Isle of Wight came privately to the Castle of Dublin and continued there in cognito till Sunday following about 10 at night then on a suddain the noyse was spread all over the Kingdom that the King was landed with 5000 Men and that the two forementioned Officers came with the Express to the Lord Deputy which on a sudden put all into hurries and where Bonfires were not immediately made the Souldiers broke the Windows Signs and Doors and rifled the Houses and the next Morning by six of the Clock strong Guards were placed at the end of every Street and every Gate about the City and Suburbs of Dublin and all others of any Note and Strength So that it was generally concluded by the Protestants there were Forces landed from England but they were soon undeceived being all disarm'd and eis'd of their Horses which for the present was judged by every place to be only in it self but was soon known to be general to all parts where their Power could then reach In Dublin they seized all the Churches to put the Arms in which not being brought according to their expectation Tyrconnel issued out a Declaration that all such as had yet detain'd their Arms should forthwith deliver them up upon peril of being left to the mercy of his Souldiers and that Gentlemen might keep their wearing Swords however some broke them to pieces others flung them into Ditches and Rivers where many were afterwards found and some kept them still The two next days they sent Forces to suppress those of Summerhil before-mentioned and one Price who had been Treasurer formerly was with a Party of 4 or 500 Horse and Foot in a Castle in the County of Wicklow 20 miles on the other side of Dublin who took Price and several others and committed them Prisoners to Newgate in Dublin and the rest to Wicklow whither Price and the rest were after four days carried and Indicted for High-Treason but all the Irish being gone for Souldiers and the English fled out of the Country there could not be a Jury got but against whom they made Exceptions for want of Freehold so that their Trial was remitted to the Term now at the writing of this sitting in Dublin in the mean time all but seven were bailed and after with their Bail fled for England where most of them now are to confirm the Tragical Story Tyrconnel having thus easily succeeded so far the same week sent 24000 Men towards the North under the command of Lieutenant General Hamilton who was once a Prisoner here with several Field-pieces and Mortars who upon the first of

March were got near 50 mile from Dublin and within five miles of the Protestant Forces who upon no ice of their approach forthwith assembled what they could together which were not 1500 near a place called Drummore but upon the Enemies approach they found them so numerous that the Lord Mount-Alexander thought fit to retire and accordingly did which the Irish perceiving pursued them about five miles and killed about 150 of the Protestants and many of them such as never were in Arms but running away in the hurry The Ld Mount-Alexander and many others got away for England some for Colerain and afterward to London-derry or Scotland In the mean time the Irish proceeded towards Colerain and found no opposition till they came thither but for the first 15 or 16 miles found nothing but ruin'd Houses and the Ditches fuil of Houshold-goods Meal and Corn thrown away by the Protestants to prevent its falling into the hands of their merciless devouring Enemy but afterwards they did not find so much the People having more time to carry it with them and so left the Irish without any Relief but what they brought with them so that both Men and Horses in the Popish Army were in a bad condition for want of Food and Forrage After all this Success King James landed at Kingsale on Tuesday March 12. and for want of Bells was welcomed with the Shouts and Acclamations of the People Bonfires c. and the next day went to Cork and stayed there till Tyrconnel came to him at Major Gen. Mac Carties on Wednesday the 20th set out from thence and lay that Night at the Earl of Cork's House at Lifmore on Thursday Night at Clonmel on Friday Night at Kilkenny in the Duke of Ormond's Castle and on Saturday night at Sir Maurice Eustaces near Kilkullen-Bridg 17 miles from Dublin and all along the Roads had the Lanes and Hedges lin'd with the Half-pike Bayonet-Rabble call'd Reparees At Carloe he was slabber'd with the kisses of the rude Country Irish Gentlewomen so that he was forced to beg to have them kept from him and on Saturday the 24th about Noon he entred the City of Dublin where all the Souldiers were placed from St. James's-Gate at his first entrance to the Castle-Gate all along for about a mile of Ground on both sides the Streets which were every where strewed with fresh Cravel And at his first entrance into the Liberty of the City there was a Stage built covered with Tapestry and thereon two playing on Welch-Harps and below a great number of Friers with a large Cross singing and about 40 Oyster-wenches Poultry and Herb-women in White and among them some known to have two or three Bastards yet passing for Maids dancing who thence ran along to the Castle by his side here and there strewing Flowers some hung out of their Balconies Tapestry and Cloath of Arras and others imitating them sewed together the Coverings of Turkey-work Chairs and Bandle-Cloth Blankets and hung them out likewise on each side of the Street He rid along through the whole Country mostly on Horse-back but chiefly through all the Towns and Villages About a mile from Dublin he call'd for a fresh Pad-Nag which turning about to be brought him got loose and forced him to stay which did in some measure vex him so that he said to Tyrconnel I think you are all boder'd but the Pad being soon brought him he mounted and marched forward and at the utmost Limits was met by the Lord Mayor Aldermen Common Council Master Wardens and Brethren of the several Companies in their Formalities the King and Herald at Arms Pursevants and Servants of the Houshold and there received the Sword of State which he gave to Tyrconnel who carried it before him through the City and the Sword and Keys of the City and there had a Speech made to welcome him to that Loyal City and People by Counsellor Dillion who that Morning was sworn Recorder in the room of Counsellor Barnwel From thence he set forward toward the Castle preceded by five or six Coaches with six Horses each two Callashes four or five Bung-Carts and one close Waggon attended by five or six French Troopers next them followed about 200 of the Straglers of the City that went out to meet him and after them the aformentioned Barker Major to the Royal Regiment bareheaded giving Orders to the Souldiers to keep the middle of the Street clear and stand with their Musquets shouldred then 29 Horsemen bare-headed shouting before Mr. Fitz-James who was alone in one of Tyrconnel's Coaches with six Horses close after him followed three Officers of the Guard on Horseback attended by 3 Led-Horses after them 15 or 16 Officers of the Army closely followed by the five Trumpets and Kettle-Drums of State in their Liveries after them about 20 of the Gentlemen at large on Horseback then the Messengers and Pursevants Servants of the Houshold next them the Herald and King at Arms close after them Tyrcounel carrying the Sword of State immediately before the late K. James who rid on the aforesaid Pad-Nag in a plain Cinnamon-colour'd Cloth Suit and black slouching Hat and a George hung over his Shoulder with a blew Ribbon he was attended by the Duke of Berwick Lord Granard and the aforesaid Maids running by him on his left hand the Lord Powis and Melfort on his Right with their Hats on close after him followed a Troop of Dragoons several Gentlemen and Officers two Troops of Horse and many Attendants after them six Lords Coaches with six Horses each then the aforesaid Judg Keating in Scarlet and next after his three other Gentlemens Coaches empty with six Horses each then three Coaches with two Horses each and then last of all the confused Rabble on Foot. As he was riding along in this Order one Flemming a pretended mad Scots-man in Skinner-row the middle of the City suddenly rushed through the Croud flung his Hat over the King's Head crying in French with a loud Voice Let the King live for ever caught suddenly mad-man like fast hold of the King's Hand and kist it and so ran capering after his Hat. As he marched thus along the Pipers of the several Companies played the Tune of The King enjoys his own again and the People shouting and crying God save the King And if any Protestants were observed not to shew their Zeal that way they were immediately revil'd and abused by the rude Papists And being come thus to the Castle alighted from his Horse and was met at the Gate by the Host over-shaded with a Canopy bore up by four Popish Bishops and accompanied with a numerous Train of Friers singing and others of that Clergy and among the rest the Titular Primate with a Triple Crown upon his Head representing the Pope who this unfortunate and by-gotted Prince no sooner saw but he forthwith went down upon his Knees to pray to the Image and for a Blessing from this Irish Pope And from thence
