that we could promise our selves no help from his Negative Vote 13. The House of Lords if regularly assembled had consisted for the most part of Protestants and might have been a Check to the King's Intentions of taking away our Laws in a legal Method there being if we reckon the Bishops about Ninety Protestant Lords to Forty five Papists taking in the new Creations and attainted Lords But first to remove this Obstacle care had been taken to reverse the Outlawries of the Popish Lords in order to capacitate them to sit in the House 2. New Creations were made Sir Alexander Fitton the Chancellor was made Baron of Gosworth Thomas Nugent the Chief Justice Baron of Riverston Justin M'Carty Viscount Mountcashell Sir Valentine Brown Viscount Kenmare A List was made of more to be call'd into the House if there were occasion 3. They had several Popish Titular Bishops in the Kingdom and it was not doubted but if necessity required those would be call'd by Writs into the House 4. It was easie to call the eldest Sons of Noble-men into the Parliament by Writ which would not augment the Nobility and yet fill the House But there were already sufficient to over-vote the Protestants for there remain'd of about Sixty nine Protestant Temporal Lords only four or five in Ireland to sit in the House and of Twenty two Spiritual Lords only seven left in the Kingdom of which Dr. Michael Boyle Arch-bishop of Ardmah Dr. Hugh Gore Bishop of Waterford Dr. Roan Bishop of Killalâ—o were excused on the account of Age and Sickness The other four were Dr. Anthony Dopping Bishop of Meath Dr. Thomas Otway Bishop of Ossory Dr. Simon Digby Bishop of Lymerick and Dr. Edward Wettenhall Bishop of Cork and Ross these were oblig'd to appear upon their Writs directed to them and King James was forced sometimes to make use of them to moderate by way of Counterpoise the Madness of his own Party when their Votes displeas'd him But in the general they protested against most of the Acts and entered their Dissent It is observable that all these Acts of this pretended Parliament are said to be by the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal whereas not one Spiritual Lord consented to many of them but on the contrary unanimously protested against them and at passing the Act of Attainder of which more hereafter they were not so much as present They complain'd of this but were refus'd redress and the express mention of their consent continued Of Thirty seven Papist Lords there appear'd besides the new created Lords Twenty four at times of which Fifteen were under Attainders by Indictments and Outlawries two or three were under Age and there remain'd only Six or Seven capable of Sitting and Acting Chancellor Fitton now Baron of Gosworth was Speaker of the House of Lords King James was present constantly in the House and directed them not only in their Debates but likewise in their Forms and Ceremonies hardly one in either House having ever sate in a Parliament before 14. The House of Commons makes the Third Estate in Parliament and 't is by them that the People have a more immediate Interest in the Legislative Power the Members of this House being such as are return'd by the Peoples Free Election which is look'd on as the Fundamental Security of the Lives Liberties and Properties of the Subject These Members of the House of Commons are elected either by the Free-holders of Counties or the Free-men of Corporations And I have already shew'd how King James wrested these out of the Hands of Protestants and put them into Popish Hands in the new Constitution of Corporations by which the Free-men and Free-holders of Cities or Boroughs to whom the Election of Burgesses originally belongs are excluded and the Election put into the Hands of a small number of Men named by the King and removable at his pleasure The Protestant Free-holders if they had been in the Kingdom were much more than the Papist Free-holders but now being gone tho many Counties could not make a Jury as appear'd at the intended Tryal of Mr. Price and other Protestants at Wicklow who could not be tried for want of Free-holders yet notwithstanding the Paucity of these they made a shift to return Knights of the Shire The common way of Election was thus The Earl of Tyrconnel together with the Writ for Election commonly sent a Letter recommending the Persons he design'd should be chosen the Sheriff or Mayor being his Creature on receipt of this call'd so many of the Free-holders of a County or Burgesses of a Corporation together as he thought fit and without any noise made the return It was easie to do this in Boroughs because by their new Charters the Electors were not above Twelve or Thirteen and in the greatest Cities but 24 and commonly not half of these on the place The Method of the Sheriffs proceeding was the same the number of Popish Freeholders being very small sometimes not a Dozen in a County it was easie to give notice to them to appear so that the Protestants either did not know of the Election or durst not appear at it By these means the pretended Parliament consisted of the most Bigotted Papists and of such as were most deeply Interested to destroy the Protestant Religion and Protestants of Ireland One Gerrard Dillon Serjeant at Law a most furious Papist was Recorder of Dublin and he stood to be chosen one of the Burgesses for the City but could not prevail because he had purchased a considerable Estate under the Act of Settlement and they fear'd lest this might engage him to defend it Several Corporations had no Representatives either because they were in the Enemies hands or else because the Persons named by the Charter for Electors were so far remote that they could not come in such Numbers as to secure the Elections for Papists against the few Protestants that were left still in the Charters and who lived generally on the place I have mark'd the Boroughs and Counties that had no Representatives in number about Twenty nine few Protestants could be prevail'd with to stand tho they might have been chosen because they foresaw no possibility of doing good and thought it unsafe to sit in a Parliament which they judged in their Conscience Illegal and purposely design'd for Mischief to them and their Religion however it was thought convenient that some should be in it to observe how things went and with much perswasion and Intreaty Sir John Mead and Mr. Joseph Coghlan Counsellors at Law were prevail'd on to stand for the University of Dublin the University must chuse and it could not stand with their Honor to chuse Papists and therefore they pitch'd on these two Gentlemen who were hardly brought to accept of it as thinking it Scandalous to be in so ill Company and they could not prevail with themselves to sit out the whole Session but withdrew before the Act of Attainder
this Minister that he frequently both in his Proclamations and Acts of Parliament ascribes the saving of Ireland to him and assigned him above the value of 20 m. Pounds per Annum to support his new Title of Duke out of the forfeited Estates of Protestants most of them Condemned unheard on publick Fame only This Person therefore was the true Enemy of King James he drove his Master out of his Kingdoms he destroyed him by his pernicious Councils and the Kingdom of Ireland by his exorbitant and illegal Management and therefore he and such other wicked Councellors and Ministers are only answerable for all the Mischiefs that have sollow'd and it is much more reasonable the destruction should fall on them who were the Authors than on the Protestants against whom they design'd it APPENDIX AN ACT For the Attainder of divers Rebels and for preserving the Interest of Loyal Subjects HUMBLY beseech your Majesty the Commons in this present Parliament assembled That whereas a most horrid Invasion was made by your unnatural Enemy the Prince of Orange invited thereunto and assisted by many of your Majesty's rebellious and trayterous Subjects of your Majesty's Dominions and such their inviting and assisting made manifest by their perfidious deserting your Majesty's Service in which by your many Princely Obligations besides their natural Duties they were bounden and having likewise to obtain their wicked ends raised and levied open Rebellion and War in several places in this Kingdom and entered into Associations and met in Conventions in order to call in and set up the said Prince of Orange as well in Ulster and Connaught as in the other Provinces of Munster and Lienster To quell which your Sacred Majesty's late Deputy in this Kingdom Richard then Earl and now Duke of Tyrconnel before your Majesty's happy Arrival in this Kingdom and your Sacred Majesty since your Arrival here have been necessitated to raise an Army to your Majesty's great Charge and Expence And though the said Rebels and Traitors after their having the impudence to declare for the Prince and Princess of Orange against your Sacred Majesty were with all mildness and humanity called in to their Allegiance by Proclamations and Promises of Pardon for their past Offences and Protection for the future And though some of the said Proclamations assured Pardon to all such as should submit themselves and that no Persons were excepted in the last Proclamation besides very few not exceeding Ten in number and few or none of any note came in in obedience thereto and that very many of the Persons who came in upon Protections and took the Oath of Allegiance to your Majesty were afterwards found amongst the Rebels in open Arms and Hostility when taken Prisoners or killed such Protections being found with them So villanous were they by adding Perjury to their former Crimes That it may be Enacted and be it Enacted by your most Excellent Majesty by and with the Advice and Consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in this present Parliament Assembled and by Authority of the same that the Persons hereafter named being Persons who have notoriously joined in the said Rebellion and Invasion and some of which are upon Indictments condemned some executed for High Treason and the rest ran away or abscond or are now in the actual Service of the Prince of Orange against your Majesty and others kill'd in open Rebellion viz.

the assistance of so wise a Council will disperse I must needs say both from my own Observation and the Information I have had from my Lords the Judges who often visit the whole Kingdom that there is a great readiness and willingness in all People to serve and obey the King I must here a little enlarge to your Excellency because I reckon my self bound to give the King an account of his Subjects and I would not willingly say any thing when I am at such a distance which I have not mentioned here The English in this Country have been aspersed with the Character of being generally Fanaticks which is a great Injury to them I must do them the justice to say that they are of the Church of England as appears by their Actions as well as Professions The Churches here are as much frequented and the Discipline of the Church as well observed as in England it self which is to be attributed to the Piety and Labour of my Lords the Bishops We of the Church of England can brag that when Rebellion overspread the three Kingdoms not one Orthodox Member of our Church was engaged against the Crown And in our late Disorders we can boast we were Opposers of the Bills of Exclusion and the Sense his Majesty has been graciously pleas'd to express of our Loyalty will never be forgotten by us I had the happiness to be born a Member of the Church of England and I hope God will give me the Grace to die one One thing the English of this Country have to glory in That of all his Majesty's Subjects they made the earliest Advances towards his Majesty's Restoration when the three Kingdoms were governed by Usurpers And after all the Endeavours of his Loyal Subjects in England seemed to be disappointed and there appeared no Hopes by the total defeating of Sir G. Booth the English then in this Kingdom offered to submit to his Majesty's Authority I do not say this my Lord to detract from his Majesty's R. C. Loyal Subjects many of whom I my self knew serv'd and suffered with him abroad but I speak it in justice to the others who did their Duty There is but one thing more I shall trouble your Excellency with I am sorry that I cannot say that I leave a full Treasure but I can say that I leave no Debts The Revenue is in good Order which must be owned to be due to the unwearied Industry and Diligence of the Commissioners The Army is intirely paid to Christmass day last and I have advanced a Month's Subsistence-money for January The Civil and Pensionary Lists are likewise cleared to Christmass I doubt not but your Excellency's Care will carry all things on in the same Method God Almighty bless the King and grant him long Life and I beseech God to prosper this excellent Country I received this Sword in Peace and I thank God by the King's Command I deliver it in Peace to your Excellency and I heartily wish you Joy of the Honour the King has done you A General Abstract of the Gross Produce of his Majesty's Revenue in Ireland in the three first Years of the Management beginning at Christmass 1682. ending Christmass 1685.  1683 1684 1685.

Lord Baron of Dunsany Plantiff Philip Tuite and John Rawlins Defendants Sir Edward Tyrrell's Affidavit about packing of Juries WHereas there issued two several Venire Faciases at the Plantiff's Suit returnable to his Majesty's Court of Exchequer directed to Edward Tyrrell Esq then High Sheriff of the County of Meath the first Year of his now Majesty's Reign Now Sir Edward Tyrrell Baronet came this day before me and made Oath That one Mr. Plunket Brother to the said Lord of Dunsany came to Longwood to this Deponent's House and desired this Deponent to stand the Lord Dunsany's Friend and to give him a Jury that would do him Right and withal said this Deponent should have after the said Lord of Dunsany should be restored to the Possession of his Estate the sum of three or four hundred Pounds To which this Deponent answered He would do him Justice The said Mr. Plunket desired this Deponent to meet him at Mr. Nugent his Counsel's House where he would further discourse the Matter This Deponent did accordingly meet the said Thomas Plunket where several Proposals and Overtures were made all to no purpose This Deponent further deposeth That in some short time after the said Lord of Dunsany came to this Deponent's said House and after some Discourse he the said Dunsany desired this Deponent to befriend him against those that wronged him and kept him out of his Estate Whereupon this Deponent told the said Lord of Dunsany what offer his Brother made him The said Lord of Dunsany replying said His Brothers
Thresh part of his Corn for his own use During which time they took away all his Stock of Sheep Black Cattel and Horses and the Soldiers from Navan Commanded by one Captain Farrel fetcht away all his Corn and Hay Some of his Irish-Servants telling him It was not safe for him to come down or lye in his own House He lay in a Neighbours House This was on a Friday-Night and the next Day he went to Dublin On Sunday Night the 5th of May 1689. they came and set Fire to his House in several places and burnt it down and all his Goods believing he was in the House Afterwards giving out That he had order'd his own Servants to Burn it And soon after came up one William Carton his Shepherd who told him That the Fryar and Priests at Navan were very angry with him and Threatned him because he did not countenance that Report and also own that his Servants had Burnt his House by his Order All this was done by the Neighbourhood within 3 or 4 Miles about him A Brief of the Case of the Charter of Londonderry upon which Judgment was given against it Quo Warranto against the Corporation of Londonderry to shew why they Claim'd to be a Body Politick and to have and use certain other Priviledges THE Corporation pleaded their CHARTER whereby those Priviledges were granted to them eo Warranto they claim to have and use those Priviledges Tho King's Attorny Replies and saith That since their Charter the Act of Settlement impowers the Lord Lieutenant and Council to make Rules and Orders for the Regulating Corporations That accordingly such Rules were made for this Corporation among which One was That they were to Elect at a time different from that in the Charter and Return the Names of the Persons the Corporation should elect yearly to be Mayor and Sheriffs to the Lord Lieutenant and to be approved of unde ex quo that they did not so elect and send the Names of such elected to be so Approved they forfeited their Priviledges The Corporation in their Rejoynder gave a full Answer to this New Matter raised in Replication on these New Rules and set forth That they did all along yearly elect and send up the Names elected according to the Rules and that they were Approved c. But further insisted at the Bar That they needed not to have any further Rejoynder to the said Replication or given any Answer as to the Matter in the said Replication alledged because admitting the Allegations in the said Replication to be true yet the Replication assigns no breach by the Corporation For all that comes after the Unde ex quo is but a Conclusion and solely a Conclusion without any Premisses for tho' the New Rules be set forth yet 't is not said in all the Replication That the Corporation did not act pursuant thereto but only saith Unde ex quo they did not c. 1. The Court said The Answer given to the New Rules was a Departure from the Matter pleaded viz. They Justifie in the Plea by the Charter and in their Rejoynder they say They chuse according to the New Rules which is another Warrant to chuse and so the Plea vitious To which the Corporation Reply'd That a Departure is when a Party in a Rejoynder sets up a New Title to a thing or a New Justification not set up in the Plea But here they still Justifie by their Charter and the New Rules made subsequent is only to the Modus of Chusing in respect of Time c. but the Power of Chusing is still by the Charter 2. The Plea was not only a Plain Answer to a short Question demanded by the Quo Warranto viz by what Warrant they claimed their Priviledges and the Matter of the New Rules was set up by the King in his Replication to which they had no opportunity of Answering till they Rejoyn'd 3. If it had been material to be set forth in the Plea yet it being a Condition subsequent if any thing and going in destruction of the Corporation Priviledges they ought not first by the Rules of Law to set it forth but it ought first to come on the Adversaries part 4. The Corporation urged That the New Rules did not in Law work any Forfeiture of Priviledges in case they were not observed for they were in the Affirmative only and the Rule of Law is That Acts in the Affirmative take not away a former Power of doing a thing but the same may be done either the first way or the second Notwithstanding all which on the said pretended defect in Pleading the Merits of the Cause never coming in question the Court gave Judgment against the Corporation N o 8.

not hold for the Reasons aforesaid Thirdly There is no such thing as Restitution of Temporal Estates in England for they were wiser there than to lose their Estates though they would be free to consent or advise that others may so it is very free for the King to make any Settlement of any Spiritual or Temporal Estates there as he shall think fit notwithstanding any Settlement he makes in Ireland Now remains I think one Objection to solve which may give some Obstruction to this intended Settlement which is that of the Gown-men or others who made Purchases of some New Interests bona fide Must they lose 〈◊〉 Purchase and Money To which I answer That although it may be reply'd Caveat emptor especially to the Gown-men who knew best of all that horrid Act of Settlement or so called was most unjust and could by no true Law hold yet because they are Persons useful for the Common-wealth and acted bona fide seeing the Estate out of the Ancient Proprietors Hands by so many Publick Acts as it was not like ever to come to him again there ought an Expedient to be found for the like that they be not losers and that either they or the Ancient Proprietors may be recompensed one way or other rather than it should be an Obstacle to the common Good And so I have done with this matter which I leave and recommend to God and you This is all the advice I can now give upon this matter and the Observations I make by my Conversation and Acquaintance with the People this year past and I am sure I am not deceived in my Opinion of them in relatition to 78 nor in the reasons they will make use of to perswade you to neglect your own Interest to save theirs and I am no less certain 27 is all inclined that way So you are to look to your selves and whilst Sun shines to make your Hay Nune tempus acceptabile Nunc dies Salutis Dum ergo tempus habemus operemur bonum maxime ad domesticos fidei 92 if authoriz'd will make all this Court go in your way by shewing them it is their Interest of which he has laid some Foundations already There remains another Observation which is That a Benedictine English Monk called Price is gone thither with the King who pretends to play that we call here premier aâ—mosnier in England they call it Clerk of the Closet to the King which Father Peters had there And here it is always a Bishop Now the Bishop of Orleans whose Office is to assist the King at Mass and all other Ecclesiastical Functions as Chief when the Lord High Almoner is not present gives the orders and spiritual directions cum privilegio exceptionis in the King's Palace and Liberties of it Why should we in our Country have any in that place but one of our selves Let them take place in England and so why would not you have this place for your self there or get it for M. B. and exercise the Functions in his absence rather than a Stranger should have it before our face and laugh at us Now to other business you are to know your business in Rome is concluded upon and past all difficulties only remains the Expedition of the Bulls which you may ever move as you please The Expences whereof by Dr. Sleyn's great care and Sollicitation with the help of Cardinal Howard and means of Monsieur Casone Favorite to his Holiness are reduced to a hundred Roman Crowns though it cost Dr. Fuller for worse 170. notwithstanding all the Favours and Sollicitations which were many he could employ Dr. Sleyn this Seignior Cousin should be thanked by a Civil Letter to which I wrote one of which I here send you a Draught you No. 19.

IT is granted by some of the highest assertors of Passive Obedience that if a King design to root out a people or destroy one main part of his Subjects in favour of another whom he loves better that they may prevent it even by opposing him with force and that he is to be judged in such a case to have Abdicated the Government of those whom he designs to destroy contrary to Justice and the Laws This is Grotius's Opinion in his Book De jure Belli Pacis lib. 1. cap. 4. § 11. where citing Barclay he says If a King be carried with a malitious design to the destruction of a whole Nation he loses his Kingdom which I grant since a will to Govern and to Destroy cannot consist together therefore he who professes himself an Enemy to a whole People doth in that very act Abdicate his Kingdom But it seems hardly possible that this should enter into the heart of a King who is not mad if he govern only one people but if he govern many it may happen that in favour of one people he may desire the other were destroyed Doctor Hammond asserts Passive Obedience as high as any yet he approves this passage of Grotius and of Barclay in his vindication of Christ's reprehending S. Peter from the exceptions of Mr. Marshall p. 327. of his first Volume Grotius saith he mentions some cases wherein a King may be resisted As in case a King shall Abdicate his Kingdom and manifestly relinquish his Power then he turns private man and may be dealt with as any other such And some other the like 2. And it is observable that generally in all Books and Sermons concerning Obedience to Governors where this case is put suppose a King endeavour to destroy his people there are only two answers given to it one is that his Officers and Ministers ought not to obey him if they do the Law will punish them The other is that this case ought not to be put that we ought not to suppose that any King will designedly endeavour to destroy his people nay the Author of Jovian will not allow us to suppose that any King will attempt in England to Govern altogether by Arbitrary Power and the Sword For says he Chap. 12. p. 272. To suppose this is plainly to suppose the utmost impossibility and p. 273. If a King should shut up the Courts obstruct or pervert Justice he allows that all his good Subjects and all the bad too that tendered their own safety would desert him and Chap. 6. p. 152. He says he should be tempted to pray for the destruction of such a Prince as the only means of delivering the Church Falkner in his Christian Loyalty B. 2. Chap. 5. N. 19 20 tells us But if ever any such strange case as is supposed should really happen I confess it would have its great difficulties He brings in Grotius De jure Belli Pacis lib. 1. cap. 4. N. 7. And Bishop Bilsons Christian Subjection Part 3. p. 519. edit 1585. as allowing it and seems to allow their judgment in the case but then tells us that the case above-mentioned ought not at all to be supposed or taken into consideration All which plainly grants that if a King do in earnest design the destruction of his Subjects and get Ministers and Officers to concur with him in it who are ready to execute his wicked intentions and against whom the Law yields no Protection that in such a case the Subjects may desert their Prince decline his Government and Service and seek Protection where they can find it 3. And indeed whoever considers the Discourses that have been written concerning Non-Resistance will find that the reasons given for it either from the nature of the Thing or Scripture reach only tolerable evils and prove that a man ought to be patient under pressures laid on him by his Governor when the mischief is not
did not look on themselves to have resisted any persons legally commissioned by the King nor was there any need of a Judge or Judgment in the Case the Question being no other than Whether the Law required that our Governors and Army should not be Papists And whether the Earl of Tirconnell and those he employed were Papists Both which were notorious and confessed by all without the Determination of a Court or Judges 17. As to the point of Necessity 't is as plain there was no Necessity on King James to employ these persons whom the Law had disabled to serve him Protestants were numerous enough and willing enough to serve him in every thing that was for the Interest of the Kingdom but he not only refused to entertain them but turned out such as he found employed without the least Crime or Accusation and put in their places persons not only unqualified by Law for the Employments into which he put them but also unfit and uncapable to discharge them which sufficiently shewed that it was Choice not Necessity made him employ them But he foresaw that such persons as the Laws designed for Employments would not assist to destroy the Laws Liberties and Religion of the Kingdom and therefore he exchanged them for those new Servants whose Interest it was to join with him in his ill Designs and whose Service was their Crime who deserved the most severe punishments not only for accepting these Employments against the Laws but likewise using them to the Subversion of all Law and Justice If therefore there was any necessity on King James to employ such Servants it was a criminal Necessity and intirely of his own making and if he imagined that such a Necessity would excuse him from his Coronation Oath of governing according to the Laws and justifie his dispensing with all the Laws made for the Security of his Subjects why should he not allow the same Liberty to his Subjects and think that an inevitable Necessity of avoiding Ruin should be a sufficient Reason for them to dispense with their Obedience to him notwithstanding their Oaths of Allegiance especially where the Necessity is not pretended or created by themselves as his was but apparent and forced on them by him According therefore to his own Rules he cannot blame them for refusing to obey him where no Law required their Obedience or for resisting him in those unlawful Methods they saw him engaged in to their manifest Destruction But King James was resolved to venture all and as many of his Favourites expressed it would not be a Slave to the Laws and therefore endeavoured to be their Master In England he granted without any apparent Necessity nay against not only the Interest and Safety of the Kingdom but even to his own prejudice several Dispensations but these passed in some colour or form of Law and many of them at least passed the Offices and Seals but in Ireland they did not trouble themselves with these Formalities A verbal Command from the King was a sufficient Dispensation to all Laws made in favour of a Protestant the Officers acted and the Courts judged as if there had been no such Laws in being Here the Dispensations went much higher than in England even to dispensing with the Laws against robbing and taking away property for if King James had a mind to any thing he sent an Officer with a File of Musquetiers and fetched it away without considering the Owners and to shew us that his Commands were not merely pretended by these Officers which I confess often happened when they did such illegal things the King himself to shew I say that it was his determinate Resolution to act us did sometimes send Orders under his Hand to take away many things of great value without offering any Retribution or Satisfaction to the Owners Many Instauces of this kind may be given I shall only mention one because it made some noise A Grant in nature of a Lease with a reserv'd Rent to the Crown was made by King Charles the Second to some of his Courtiers as a Gratuity for considerable Services whereby the sole Liberty to coin Copper-Money in the Kingdom of Ireland for one and twenty years was given to them This Grant was purschased at a dear rate from the Grantees by Sir John Knox late Lord Mayor of Dublin and was renewed not without great Trouble and Charges to him by King James after his Accession to the Crown When he came into Ireland he found this Grant in the Hands of Collonel Roger Moor to whom it came by way of Legacy from the Purchaser King James designing to set up a Brass Mint sent for this Grant and had it strictly canvast to see if any Flaw could be found in it none could be found nor would the Collonel be persuaded to give it up The King therefore commanded it to be laid aside and his own Mint to be proceeded on without regard to it But having occasion for the coining Tools and Engines belonging to this without consulting the Owner or enquiring whether he was willing to part with them he sent and seised on them violently forcing open the Doors and taking away to a considerable Value Collonel Moore petitioned for Redress or at least some Consideration for his Loss but his Petition was rejected without being heard Such proceedings were common and shews us plainly what a weak Barrier Laws are against a person who designs absolute Power and who believes according to our late Act of Recognition That the Decision in all Cases of a misused Authority by a Lawful Hereditary King must be left to the sole Judgment of God SECT IV. III. King James's Progress to destroy his Protestant Subjects by his disposing of Civil Offices and ordering the Privy Council 1. I Have already taken notice how King James disposed the Military Offices in such a Method as must unavoidably ruin the Protestant Interest in Ireland it was not altogether so easie to out Men of their Civil Employment as of their Military 1. Because many had Patents for Life or Good Behaviour And 2. Because some of the Offices themselves were so difficult to be managed that it was not easie to find Roman Catholicks capable of discharging them yet it appeared necessary in order to ruin the Protestants that they should be turned out of them and therefore King James and his Ministers resolved to do it as fast as they could As soon as they could find a Papist that would or durst undertake them they put him in and they plainly declared that no Protestant after a little while should have any Office of Trust or Profit left in his Hands Some Offices they disposed of without more ado by new Patents and put the Patentee in Possession without taking notice that there was another Patent in being leaving the former Proprietor to bring his Action at Law if he pleased Thus they served Sir Charles Meredith for his Chancellorship of the Exchequer and thus they
did worse that is betrayed it by their Compliance whilst yet they profest it Many who would not be guilty of such servility were turned out even from the mean Employments of a High or Petty Constable of a Goalour or Turn-Key of all which it were easie to give Examples but the thing being Universal makes that unnecessary Even these mean Employments were now counted too good for Protestants and all this contrary to the express Letter of the Law which admitted none but such as would take the Oath of Supremacy to any Office but they took a peculiar Pleasure to act in contempt and despite of the Laws and it seemed to them a kind of Conquest to turn a Man out of his Employment Office or Freehold contrary to Law In the mean time it was a melancholy thing for Protestants to live under such illegal Officers and have their Lives Estates and Liberties at the mercy of Sheriffs Justices and Juries some of whose Fathers or nearest Relations they had either hanged for Thieving Robbery and Murthering or killed in the very Act of Torying 5. I reckon as a fourth sort of Officers in the Kingdom such as were of the Privy-Council which in Ireland is a great part of the Constitution and has considerable Privileges and Power annexed to it Regularly no Act of Parliament can pass in Ireland till the chief Governor and Privy-Council do first certifie the Causes and Reasons of it It was therefore no less than necessary that King James should model this to his mind and he quickly ordered it so that the Papists made the majority in it and whereas before it was a Refuge and Sanctuary to the oppressed it now became a most effectual Instrument to strengthen the Popish Interest and give Reputation to their Proceedings We may guess what kind of Government King James designed when he was attended with such a Council and yet it is certain even some of these who were Protestants would have been turned out if they had not absented themselves and declined appearing at the Board but whether they appeared or no was of no consideration since it is plain they could do Protestants little service SECT V. Fourthly King James's ordering Corporations was an effectual means to destroy his Protestant Subjects and to alter the very Nature of the Government 1. WOever knows the Constitution of England and Ireland must observe that the Subjects have no other security for their Liberties Properties and Lives except the Interest they have of choosing their own Representatives in Parliament This is the only Barrier they have against the Encroachments of their Governor Take it away and they are as absolute Slaves to the Kings Will and as miserable as the Peasants in France Whoever therefore goes about to deprive them of this Right utterly destroys the very Constitution and Foundation of the Government Now the Protestants of Ireland finding the necessity of securing this right in their own Hands to preserve the Kingdom in Prosperity and Peace had procured many Corporations to be Founded and built many considerable Corporate Towns at their own Cost and Charges They thought it reasonable to keep these in their own Hands as being the Foundation of the Legislative power and therefore secluded Papists as Enemies to the English Interest in Ireland from Freedom and Votes in them by the very Foundation and Rules of planting them This Caution they extended by a Law to all other Corporations in the Kingdom excluding Papists likewise from them which they justly did if we remember that these Papists had forfeited their Right in them by their Rebellion in 1641 and by their having turned those Towns where they had Interest into Nests of Traitors against the King and into places of Refuge for the Murtherers of the English insomuch that it cost England some Millions to reduce them again into Obedience witness Killkenny Waterford Galway Lymerick and every other place where they had power to do it Add to this that generally the trading industrious Men of the Kingdom were Protestants who had built most of the Corporate Towns above thirty at once in King James the First 's time and a great part of the Freeholds of the Kingdom did also belong to Men of the same Religion insomuch that if a fair Election had been allowed in probability no Papist could have carryed it in any one County of Ireland All which considered it was but reasonable that the Protestants that had by so much Blood and Treasure brought the Kingdom into subjection to the Laws of England and planted it in such a manner as to render it worth the Governing by the King should be secured of their Representatives in Parliament especially when out of their great Loyalty and Confidence in the Kings kind intention to them they by some new Rules had condescended that none should Officiate as Majors Portrieves Magistrates or Sheriffs in the chief Towns till approved by the Kings chief Governor for the time being Their yielding this to the King was a sufficient security one would have thought to the Royal Interest A great diminution of their Liberties and such as never was yielded before to any King but this would not serve King James to be Absolute he must have the intire Disposition of them and the Power to put in and turn out whom he pleased without troubling the Formalities of Law To bring them therefore to this it was resolved to Dissolve them all Tyrconnel knew that the Protestants would never give up their Charters without being compelled by Law and therefore he endeavoured to prevail with them to admit Papists to Freedom and Offices in them that by their means he might have them surrendred but the Resolution of Sir John Knox then Lord Mayor of Dublin and of the then Table of Aldermen spoiled that Design and forced the King to bring Quo Warranto's against them since they would not easily consent to destroy themselves 2. The Chief Baron Rice and the Attorney General Nagle were employed as the fittest Instruments to carry on this Work To prevent Writs of Error into England all these Quo Warranto's were brought in the Exchequer and in about two Terms Judgments were entred against most Charters Whereas if either Equity or Law had been regarded longer time ought to have been allowed in matters of such Consequence for the Defendants to draw up their Plea than the Chief Baron took to dispatch the whole Cause and seize their Franchises Attorney General Nagle plaid all the little Tricks that could be thought of and had an ordinary Attorney brought such Demurrers or Pleadings into Court in a common Cause as he did in this most weighty Affair of the Kingdom he would have received a publick Rebuke and been struck out of the Roll for his Knavery or ignorance After all there was not one Corporation found to have Forfeited by a Legal Tryal neither was any Crime or Cause of forfeiture objected against them yet the Chief Baron gave Judgment against

Good my Lord December 3d. 1688. I Have written to let you know That all our Irishmen through Ireland are sworn that on the 9th Day of this Month being Sunday next they are to fall on to kill and murder Man Wife and Child and to spare none and I do desire your Lordship to take care of your self and all others that are adjudged by our Men to be Heads for whoever of them can kill any of you is to have a Captain 's Place So my Desire to your Honour is to look to your self and to give other Noblemen warning and go not out at Night or Day without a good Guard with you and let no Irishman come near you whatever he be This is all from him who is your Friend and Father's Friend and will be though I dare not be known as yet for fear of my Life Direct this with Care and Haste to my Lord Mountgomery N o 13. Lord Mountjoy's Circular Letter on his going to France Gentlemen Dublin 10th January 1688. YOU had an Account how long I staid on the Way after I left you and the Reasons which made me since go forwards And whatever any Jealousies were at my first Arrival I am now satisfied at my coming and with God's Blessing I hope it will come to good to us all As soon as I saw my Lord Deputy he told me he designed to send me to the King jointly with my Lord Chief Baron Rice to lay before him the State of the Kingdom and to tell him That if he pleased he could Ruine it for him and make it a heap of Rubbish but it was impossible to preserve it and make it of use to him and therefore to desire leave to treat for it The Objections I made to this were Two My being not so well qualified as a Northern Roman Catholick whom in all likelyhood the King would sooner give Credit to And the improbability of being able to perswade the King who is now in the French Hands to a Thing so plainly against their Interest To the First of these I was answered what is not fit for me to repeat and the other is so well answered that all the most knowing Englishmen are satisfied with me and have desired me to undertake this Matter which I have done this Afternoon my Lord Deputy having first promised me on his Word and Honour to perform the Four Particulars in the within Paper Now because a Thing of this Nature cannot be done without being Censur'd by some who perhaps would be sorry to have their Wishes in quiet means and by others who think all that Statesmen do are Tricks and that there is no Sincerity amongst them I would have such to consider That it is more probable I and the most intelligent in this Place without whose Advice I do nothing should judge right of this than they who are at greater Distance and as it is not likely we should be Fooled so I hope they will not believe we design to betray them our selves and the Nation I am morally assured this must do our Work without Blood or the Misery of the Kingdom I am sure it is the Way proposed in England who depend so on it that no Forces are appointed to come hither and I am sure what I do is not only what will be approved of in England but what had its beginning from thence I do therefore conjure you to give your Friends and mine this Account and for the Love of God keep them from any Disorder or Mischief if any had such Design which I hope they had not and I am fully satisfied every Man will have his own Heart's Desire I will write to this Effect to some other Places and I desire you will let such in the Country as you think fit see this Let the People fall to their Labour and think themselves in less Danger than they believed c. N o 14. Judge Keating's Letter to Sir John Temple December 29th 1688. SIR I Had ere this acknowledged the Favour of your last and returned you my Thanks for your kind Advice relating to the small Concerns I had in England which I have now disposed of here but to deal freely with you the Distractions arising from the Great and Suddain Alterations in England and the pannick but I believe groundless Fears which hath possessed the Minds not only of the Weaker Sex and Sort but even of Men who would pass for Sober and Judicious hath render'd Matters with Us so uncertain that I profess seriously I know not what to write nor dare I yet give you any Account relating either to particular Persons or Places of the Kingdom scarcely of what I hear from the Remote Parts of this City since what we have at Night for certain Truth from those who pretend to be Eye or Ear Witnesses of what they relate we find before the next Days Exchange is over to be altogether False and Groundless The fear of a Massacre hath been mutual the Protestants remembring past Times and being alarm'd by a Letter neither directed to nor subscribed by any Person but drop'd at Cumber of which Copies were dispers'd throughout all Parts of the Kingdom were frighted to that degree that very many of them betook themselves to the Ards and other Places of Security in the North Some into Scotland and very many Families Embark'd from this Part for Chester Leverpoole Beaumaris and the next Adjacent Ports of England and Wales who you may easily conclude carried with them all the ready Money and Plate which they
By the Lord Lieutenant of the County of Kildare and one of His MAJESTIES most Honourable Privy Council Note The Copy of the First Order for Garrisoning the House of Ballisannan could not be gotten WHereas I have been informed That Ballysannan now belonging to Mr. Annesley was a House of Strength and therefore fit to have a Garrison and now being convinc'd of the contrary These are therefore in His Majesties Name to require you forthwith to remove your Men to their former Garrison out of the said House Given under my Hand this First day of April 1690. Charles White For Captain Patrick Nugent or the Officer in Chief Commanding the Troop at Kildare SIR THIS is to let you understand that I am Authoriz'd to give the Proprietor possession of the Lands of Ballysannan c. according to the Act of Parliament and that you may not be surpriz'd therein I give you this Notice from Sir Your Loving Friend and Servant Charles White Naas the 8th of April 1690. For John Annesly Esquire or in his Absence to Francis Annesly Esq These Second Order for Ballysannan WHereas Luke Fitzgerald Esquire has proved himself before me to be the Ancient Proprietor of the Town and Lands of Ballysannan and that his Ancestors were Posses'd of their Mansion-house there in the Year 1641. I do therefore in pursuance of His Majesties Orders unto me appoint the under-named Persons to give possession of the Mansion-house there to Luke Fitzgerald Esquire And for so doing this shall be your Warrant Given under my Hand and Seal this 6th day of May 1690. Charles White I do hereby appoint Captain Walter Archbold or Captain John Dillon of Athy to give possession of the Mansion-house of Ballysannan to Luke Fitzgerald Esquire An Account of Absentees Goods and how they were imbezelled THE beginning of March 1688. or before several Persons Officers of the Army who were impowered or pretended to be impowered by my Lord Deputy seized on the Goods of Absentees in most Counties of the Kingdom except the City of Dublin May 7th 1689. A Warrant comes to the Commissioners of His Majesties Revenue under His Majesties Privy Signet and Sign Manual dated April 29th 1689. to impower the Commissioners of the Revenue to call all such Persons to Account that had seiz'd any Goods or Chattels of Absentees May 9th 1689. The Commissioners of the Revenue issued out Instructions to several Persons in the respective Counties pursuant to His Majesties said Warrant As to the Country it must be observed That betwixt the 1st of March 1688. being the Time of seizing by the Officers of the Army and 9th of May 1689. when the Commissioners were impowered a great part of the Goods of Absentees were stolen or disposed The Officers that seiz'd were at the Camp at Denry and if any Accounts were return'd by them to the Lord Deputy the same never came to the Commissioners though they often endeavoured with the Secretary to find any such Accounts The Commissioners of the Revenue thereupon sollicited a Bill to pass in Parliament to vest the Goods of all Absentees in the King with some fitting Power to the Commissioners of the Revenue for the more easie and expeditious bringing all Persons to Account that had formerly seiz'd But this met with much delay and alterations At last the Bill pass'd the 18th of July 1689. and the Scope of it amounts to no more than to vest in His Majesty the Goods of such Persons only as are declared Forfeiting Persons by the Act of Attainder or Persons absent who abet or assist the Prince of Orange with exception of Minors and some Proviso's by the Act of Attainder most had time to return till the First of September and the general Clause of all Persons that have aided or abetted the Prince of Orange does not intitle the King without an Office found that such Persons did aid or abet and this requiring Proof and a Great Charge there did not appear sufficient profit to arise to answer the Charge Upon the whole Matter this Bill seemed rather to lessen the Zeal of those employed to seize Absentees Goods than otherwise when they consider'd that upon debate in Parliament it was denyed to pass a Law that should indemnifie them for more than half their Seizures even in the City of Dublin half the Persons whose Goods were there seized not being named in the Bill of Attainder However Aug. 9th 1689. The Commissioners of the Revenue having appointed four Provincial Surveyors gave them Instructions that the Surveyor General and the Collectors should dispose of the Stocks of Absentees whereby it appears that instead of neglecting that Matter of the Goods of Absentees they seemed rather to have given Order for the disposal of them before they were forfeited Septemb. 14th 1689. The Commissioners finding no satisfactory Returns from the Commissioners employed by them most of the Commissioners being in the Army or neglecting the Matter or applying the Goods to their own Use they superseded those Commissioners and lest the whole Matter to their Collectors which if done at first some profit might have redounded to His Majesty 2. The Goods of Absentees in the City of Dublin were not ordered by the Lord Deputy to be seized but the people observing what was done in the Country and there being free Transportation for England in March the Custom-house-Key became like a Fair and the most of Absentees Goods were then sent for England scarce any thing valuable was then left unless by the Carelesness of the persons employed by the Absentees The said 9th of August 1689. the Commissioners impowered several persons to seize the Goods of Absentees in the City of Dublin with like directions as the Lord Deputy gave formerly in other Counties viz. To inventory and take security for the forth-coming of these Goods and not to strip the Houses or hinder Trade for many Brewers Ale-sellers and other Handy-Crafts and Traders though absent yet had left behind them Servants Friends and sometimes their Wives to manage their Trade and to have strip't those Houses had but added to the Number of Wast Houses and lessened His Majesties Revenue some Ale-houses not having the Value of Forty Shillings of Absentees Goods draw three or four Barrels of Drink per Week besides their Quartering of Souldiers which has cost the Inhabitants more generally by far than the Goods could be sold for these Times And this Matter ought at present to be well considered for though now the Goods are vested in the King by Law and the best of them is to be made for the King's advantage yet Rotten Hangings will sell only to those that have the House No. 25.

Advertisement as it was published by Mr. Yalden in his Weekly Abhorrence concerning Dr. King and Dr. Foy THERE was lately published by John Yalden Esq the substance of Fifteen Sermons Entituled An Abhorrence from the Bishop of Ely c. of the proceedings of the Prince of Orange and the Lords c. that Invited Him But some Protestants believing the said Book to be a Popish contrivance and that such Doctrines as were therein were never Preached by the Divines there named Upon which a Gentleman of Quality to satisfie these Doubts applyed himself to two Reverend Divines of this City viz. Dr. King and Dr. Foy who both certified under their hands that the Doctrines contained in the said Book were honest and true Christian Divinity and obliging to all Christians to put immediately in practice upon the peril of their Salvation Which Certificate satisfied several Protestants here and confirmed them in an unchangeable Loyalty March 8th 1689. Reverend Sir I Intended to have waited on you this Afternoon but found my self so Indisposed that I durst not venture abroad I have been made sensible That the Publisher of the Weekly Abhorrence has made use of your Name and Mine And Affirms That WE have Certified under our Hands That the Doctrines contained in a Book published by one John Yalden Esq containing a Collection of the Substance of Fifteen Sermons were honest and true Christian Divinity and Obliging to all Christians to put immediately in Practice upon the Peril of their Salvation And he intimates that this Certificate has been shewn to several Protestants here Sir For my own part I do profess that I never Read the aforesaid Book nor did any Gentleman of Quality as he affirms ever apply himself to me to satisfie him in any doubts concerning it that I remember I am sure never any
