of that kingdome And by what Popish instruments and ministers in their Councell at the Court the said designe is and hath been carried on persons of great trust eminent for their affection or Religion and hatred of the Rebells being displaced and men Popishly addicted put in their offices all serving for the better introduction of Popery and extirpation of the true Protestant Religion in that and other of his Majesties dominions Die Sabbathi 30. Septemb. 1643. Ordered by the Lords and Commons assembled in Parliament that this declaration shall be forthwith printed and published Io. Browne Cler. Parlment London Printed for Io. VVright in old Baily Octob. 2. 1645. A DECLARATION OF THE LORDS AND COMMONS ASSEMBLED IN PARLIAMENT AS it is evident to all the world that this late horrid Rebellion of the Papists in Ireland did without any colour or pretext of provocation professedly and boldly ayme at the destruction of the Protestant Religion the rejecting of the lawes of England and the extirpation of the Brittish inhabitants out of that kingdome so it is no lesse manifest that this Parliament of England to whom his Majesty hath left the managing of the warre against those rebels hath taken the troubles of Ireland to heart with that resentment and compassion as may evidence their zeale to Religion their love to their distrest Countreymen and brethren there in these times when the Iesuiticall practises have cast England into wofull distractions and unnaturall warre notwithstanding which the reducing of Ireland hath still beene a chiefe part of the care of this Parliament And God hath beene pleased to blesse our endeavours with such successe as that those furious bloud thirsty Papists have beene in the carrier of their crueltie some part of the Protestant bloud which at first was spilt like water upon the ground hath beene revenged their massacres burnings and famishings have by a divine retaliation beene repayde into their bosome And the Protestant party hath been erected to that condition of strenght and hope that their enemies are constrayned distrusting their forces to have recourse to their craft policies and therefore by their subtill Agents at Court and their active instruments elsewhere have beene endeavoring now of along time to make our Armies in Ireland disaffected to the Parliament what by occasion of their wants not so readily supplyed as their neede required what by misusing them with these unhappy differences fallen in here betweene King People labouring by that meanes to devide those forces into factions to the end the maine worke they have in hand might be neglected which is the prosecution of the warre against the Rebels so far brought low in some partes of Ireland that if they can bee deprived of the benefit of this Harvest they are not likely to see the next Summer And therefore the Rebels finding that notwithstanding the distractions here occasioning the slownesse scarcenesse of supplyes yet they themselves are in a farre worse condition being in want of most things necessary not onely for the maintayning of a warre but even of life the judgement of God being remarkeable upon them in this that as their bloudy and treacherous Religion made them inhumanely cruell in shedding the protestants bloud so now the famine amongst many of them hath made them unnaturally and Canniball-like eate and feede one upon another Therefore that they may have time to expect from their friends abroad new supplyes both of victuals and ammunition and may without molestation reape the fruite of this harvest they have laboured a treaty for a Cessation which project of theirs doth no lesse ayme at the overthrow of the remainder of the Protestants in that kingdome then their treacherous taking of Armes at the first did intend the destruction of them all for their Cessation and hostility their warre and peace are alike to be esteemed of and with those that neyther in peace nor warre keepe any faith it is best to be in perpetuall defiance Therefore the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled according to their continued care of that kingdome of Ireland doe in a speciall manner take into their consideration the condition thereof upon this occasion of an intended Cessation and so much the rather because it is feared that the Protestant forces through want of Provision for their Armies may at last if not relieved be perswaded to admit of this course in hope thereby to procure some meanes for their subsisting as also because there is too much ground to suspect that if this Cessation should be agreed unto they might have opportunitie to joyne with the papist party heere for their greater strenghtning And though it were to have no influence upon this kingdome yet the evill consequences of it are so many and pernicious to Ireland that this Parliament should betray the trust reposed in them if they did not declare against this Cessation and use all meanes in time to make it prove abortive And therefore they desire that it may be observed and taken notice of First from whence the Counsell and designe of this Cessation ariseth even from the rebels and Papists themselves for their owne preservation for soone after they had missed of their intent to make themselves absolute masters of that kingdome of Ireland by their treacherous surprises And seeing that this kingdome did with most generous and Christian resolutions undertake the charges of warre for the reliefe and recovery of Ireland propositions were brought from the Rebellion the Lords Dillon Taffe at which time they were intercepted 〈◊〉 restrayned by order of the house of Commons After that they had the boldnesse even while their hands were still imbrued in the Protestant bloud to petition to his Majestie that their demands might be heard and for this purpose they obtayned a Commission to be sent over into Ireland to divers persons of quality whereof some were Papists to heare receive transmit to his Majesty their demands which was done accordingly and one Master Bourke a notorious pragmaticke Irish papist was the chiefe sollicitor in this businesse after this the just revenging God giving daily successe to the handfull of the Protestant forces against their great numbers so that by a wonderfull blessing from heaven they were in most parts put to the worst Then did they begin to set on foote an overtime for a Cessation of Armes concerning which what going and comming hath beene between the Court and the Rebels is very well knowne and what meetings and treaties have beene held about it in Ireland by warrant of his Majesties ample Commission sent to that effect and what reception and countenance most pragmaticke Papists negotiating the businesse found at Court and that those of the State in Dublin who had so much Religion and honesty as to disswade the Cessation were first discountenanced and at last put out of their places and restrayned to prison as Sir VVilliam Parsons one of the Lords sustices there Sir Iohn Temple Master of the Rolles Sir Adam Loftus
