preservation of the Kingdom and that he designed to advance the Popish Irish Interest in Ireland which every Body knows cannot be done without the utter ruin of the English Protestants 3. Yet all this we patiently endured and exercised our Charity in relieving the poor cashiered Soldiers and in putting the ruined Gentlemen into a way of Subsisting which was generally by sending them over Seas to Foreign Service and perhaps their Clamours and Sufferings did contribute to move the Compassion of the Prince of Orange our present Sovereign and forward his Designs 4. In the mean time the new raised Forces and Officers being put into Arms and Command to which they were Strangers into good Cloaths and mounted on Horses for which others had paid behaved themselves with all the insolence common to such sort of Men when unworthily Advanced They every where insulted over the English and had their Mouths continually full of Oaths Curses and Imprecations against them they railed on them and gave them all the opprobrious names they could and if any Chastized them for their Sauciness though ever so much provoked they had the Judges and Juries on their side They might kill whom they pleased without fear of Law as appeared from Captain Nangles murthering his disbanded Officer in the Streets of Dublin but if any killed or hurt them they were sure to suffer as Captain Aston found to his cost who was hanged for killing a Papist upon his abusing the Captains Wife in the Street They immediately ruined all the Protestant Inns of Ireland partly by oppressing them with Quarters partly by paying nothing for what they had in their Quarters and partly by driving away other Guests by their rudeness 5. In this insolence they continued and daily increased till the Prince of Orange came into England But then new Commissions were issued out with all dilligence of one sort or another sometimes five hundred in a day All the Scum and Rascallity of the Kingdom were made Officers every where the Papists arm'd and inlisted themselves and the Priests suffered no Man to come to Mass that did not Arm himself with at least a Skean and half Pike The new Commissioned Officers were obliged without Pay to subsist their Men as they termed it for three months a thing impossible for them to do since most of them were not able to maintain themselves The better sort of their Captains and inferiour Officers had been Footmen or Servants to Protestants One Gentlemans Cowherd was made a Lieutenant but he would fain have capitulated with his Master to keep his place vacant for him if his Commission did not hold Most of them were the Sons or Descendents of Rebels in 1641 who had murthered so many Protestants Many were Outlawed and Condemned Persons that had lived by Torying and Robbing No less than fourteen notorious Tories were Officers in Cormuck ô Neals Regiment and when forty or fifty thousand such were put into Arms without any Mony to pay them we must leave the World to judge what apprehensions this must breed in Protestants and whether they had not Reason to fear the destruction that immediately fell on them they saw their Enemies in Arms and their own Lives in their power They saw their Goods at the mercy of those Thieves and Robbers and Tories now armed and Authorized from whom they could scarce keep them when it was in their power to pursue and hang them And they had all the Reason in the World to believe that a Government that had armed such Men of desperate Fortunes and Resolutions was so far from protecting them which is the only end of all Government that on the contrary it designed to destroy both their Lives and Fortunes The latter of which as will appear by the sequel they have in a manner intirely lost 6. I could never hear any thing pretended for these proceedings except it were either 1. That the Army were the Kings Servants and every Man may employ what Servants he pleases or 2. That Protestants would not concur with the Kings intentions and therefore there was a necessity of dismissing them And 3. as to the general arming the Papists and Plundering the Protestants that it was necessary in order to raise and encourage an Army otherwise the King had had nothing to trust to 7. As to the first of these It is not true that every Man may entertain what Servants he pleases because one ought not to entertain any that are not qualified as the Law requires 2. If it were granted that the Case were the same between the King and his Army as between a Master and his Servants and that a Master might entertain what Servants he pleased neither of which is true yet it is to be considered that where another pays the Servants the Master must be obliged to keep such Servants as well answer the design of such as afford the Wages Now it was the Kingdoms Mony that paid the Soldiers it was given the King by a Protestant Parliament to preserve the Protestant English Interest and suppress the conquered Irish Papists as appears by the Acts themselves it was paid by them out of their proper Fortunes and Estates and for the King to Employ the Mony so given and paid him to Arm those whom it was designed to suppress and destroy those who gave it is the greatest breach of Trust and prevarication of which any can be guilty 8. As to the second Reason that Protestants would not concur with the Kings intentions I believe it is true but the Reason was because the Kings intentions were to destroy the Laws Liberty and Religion Established in his Kingdom they had and would have answered every just intention of the King nay such as were Employed by him had concurred further with him than was perhaps justifiable And his laying them aside as unserviceable to his Designs is a plain Demonstration that those Designs were irreconcilable to the good of the Kingdom and the Protestant English Interest 9. As to the third Reason that it was necessary in order to raise an Army for the King to Arm all the Rascallity of Ireland and to let them destroy the Protestants to subsist and hearten them I answer that this owns a Necessity if not a Design of destroying us and considering that the Papists only by their wicked Counsels had brought that necessity on the Kingdom it can never be imputed to the Protestants by any wise Man as a Crime that they were unwilling to comply with the King to their own Destruction or that they rather chose to be delivered by his present Majesty than ruined by King James and his foolish Counsellors Upon the whole the ordering the Irish Army as it was by King James is a plain Demonstration of his Design to destroy us and a great step towards it and he had effectually done it had not the Providence of God raised up his present Majesty to Relieve us SECT III.
