Speech to Father Clare he said he would either Convert England or dye a Martyr and that he had rather dye to morrow that Conversion being wrought than Reign fifty years without that in Happiness and Prosperity To begin with his present Actions in Ireland upon his arrival at Dublin the few Protestants that remained in Employs were turned out not a Protestant was allowed to sit in Council or bear Arms the Lord Granard Lord chief-Chief-Justice Keating Sir John Davis Sir Tho. Newcomen Collonel Russel c. were all turned out and none permitted to hold any Place but Papists tho' these Gentlemen were so true to the King and went so far to serve him as made them suspected to be of his Religion See his gratitude to the Bishop of Chester who coming with him from France died a Protestant at Dublin and was so miserably poor as to want common necessaries and being dead was buried at the charge of a Charitable Prelate there but to proceed the Lord Viscount Mazerine hath been plundered in Plate Money Household Goods c. to the value of near twenty thousand pounds and others proportionable notwithstanding several Declarations from Tyrconnel and King James to the Contrary and upon a modest computation they have plundred already in Money Plate Household-Goods Horses Corn and Hay c. to the value of two hundred thousand pounds One Mr. Robert Boroughs an Attorney and Rich had all his substance taken from him and turned out of doors who died for hunger and cold and they have killed many persons in cold blood without any provocation given for example the Lord Galmoy took one Dean Dixies Son and another young Gentleman tho not in Arms and hanged them upon a Sign-post Upon King James's arrival in Ireland the Protestants thought they should have had some redress for the Robbing and Pillaging of their Cattle and moveable goods and other inhumanities which the Irish Soldiers daily committed on them as likewise for the future but behold the lenity and mercy of this King who upon several complaints made to him would answer that he would do for them what he could but they never received any further satisfaction or Justice particularly the Lord Galmoy cut off a Gentlemans head in the North and made his own Son carry it on a Pike in triumph before his Regiment Upon Complaint of this to the King he seemed mightily displeased yet the Lord Galmoy carried the Sword before him the very next day If we did relate all the dismal relations we have from thence it would make a Volume These are mercies fit to be acted by none but Papists and Popish Kings An Irish Lord who came with King James from France speaking to a Clergy-man of Dublin said That King James can never expect possession of his Kingdoms by the Protestants means unless tied and settered with Conditions which he cannot nor shall not observe to them 't is by the force of Arms of his good Catholicks and by assistance of France that he designs to regain his Dominions and then he comes in free and boundless like an absolute Conquerour and shall afterwards do what he pleases we have had one taste of the sincerity of his Intentions as well before as when King and he that desires another in God's name let him go to him or to the French King 't is much as one but suppose he 's sincere now and that he repents of all his former illegalities and miscarriages and resolves for the future never to commit the like what security can he give us that he 'll always continue so to govern us according to the Rights Priviledges and Laws of the Land Certainly he can give us none besides his Oath or Promise which signifies nothing for it 's impossible for him to keep them without damning his own Soul and can any man believe he 'll damn his Soul to keep his Oath or Promise when he shall go to Heaven for breaking of them according to the Doctrine of their Church but what signifies it to break two or three Promises when every body breaks them or an Oath or so 't is in fashion now as for the French King he has kept his Oaths and Promises in such an extraordinary manner that all the Histories now extant cannot come near to a Parallel and our King James has only been there to learn a few of his Morals and is coming to teach 'em with French and Irish Dragoons intermixt with a little Liberty such as we nor our Fathers were able to bear And now good Folks prepare your selves for this happiness for he 's coming with open arms and stretched out hands to make ye happy that is Papists whether ye will or no and I doubt not but that you 'll see your own happiness which is coming upon you like a Torrent and prepare for it accordingly I hope all the People in England will make a just judgment of what has been said and consider what they may expect from such a King who is so much Jesuited All the World cannot but acknowledge that this great Revolution has been by the miraculous Providence of Almighty God and we ought as St. Paul did to bless God that we are once delivered out of the mouth of the Lyon and should we not affront that Providence if we should let him into our Bosoms again would it not be just with God to let him destroy us but can we be guilty of such a notorious folly or madness as to maintain the Ambition of the late King James to the ruine and destruction of our selves which can be nothing else if we contribute to restore him to the Crown on the contrary if we design to be happy and that our Posterity should be happy after us in enjoying the Gospel in its purity and its true Religion and what the Laws of Nature and our Countrey have conferred on us we ought to oppose the late King James as the common Enemy of our Religion and Liberty for this is the time to Entail happiness on our selves and our Posterity Now and Ever Now or Never ADVERTISEMENT AN Answer having been sent to the Sheet of the Doctrine of Passive Obedience and Jure
