A34925	The teares of Ireland wherein is lively presented as in a map a list of the unheard off [sic] cruelties and perfidious treacheries of blood-thirsty Jesuits and the popish faction : as a warning piece to her sister nations to prevent the like miseries, as are now acted on the stage of this fresh bleeding nation / reported by gentlemen of good credit living there, but forced to flie for their lives... illustrated by pictures ; fit to be reserved by all true Protestants as a monument of their perpetuall reproach and ignominy, and to animate the spirits of Protestants against such bloody villains.	Cranford, James, d. 1657.	1642 (1642)	Wing C6824; ESTC R32373	25,594	76

cum Haereticis whose principles are steept bloud tolerating Rebellion against King and Kingdome murdering of Princes blowing up of Parliament sowing seeds of division betweene Confederate Kingdomes as those two Handfasted and Troth-plighted Nations in a League of love indissoluble blessed be God can testifie blowing up coals of Division hotter then coals of Juniper in the same Kingdome where they live in too much peace Witnesse England who hath had wofull experience of their plottings to breake Union betweene King and people King and Parliament But now behold these bloudy Papists with their Vizard puld off and now acting their plots like incarnate Devils as our Saviour cald their brethren the Scribes and Pharisees For the works of their father they doe I say now acting their Devillish designe on the State of Ireland our sister Nation ayming no lower then the death and ruine of the whole Kingdome at one blow For had their plot on Dublin Castle taken which they had laid with so much subtilty and secrecie as in probability it had had not the keeper of Israel which slumbers not prevented it in a most miraculous manner they had beene by the morning light at work cutting off man woman and child till they had not left one remayning among them that bore the name of a Protestant Blessed be God their snare was broken and that poore City designed to destruction delivered the relation of which Tragedie now begins Oh that our eares may tingle and our bowels yern at the relation of this horrid designe and at the relations of those cruelties and tortures exceeding all parallel unheard off among Pagans Turks or Barbarians except you would enter into the confines of Hell it selfe to see the Devils those Engineers of cruelty acting of their parts I know not where you will find their fellows making it their sport to torture and to vex those poore distressed Protestants he that is most cruell merits most of their bloudy Jesuits Those firebrands of Hell preach to them in their Massings and Conventicles as is truly related by Gentlemen of Ireland of good worth who like Jobs Messengers are escaped their mercilesse hands relating nothing but what they have heard with their eares upon examination of witnesses or seen with their eyes that so men might not be deluded with false and idle Pamphlets but reade and see the truth of things that all men may behold what bloudy Tigres and Vultures these Popish Spirits are how perfidious and basely treacherous to those Nations that succour them never any Kingdom being long at peace where they were tolerated as this fresh bleeding Nation of Ireland can sadly relate you in this ensuing Narration Here begins the bloudie attempts upon the Kingdome of Ireland in the generall and on Dublin in particular UPon the three and twentieth day of October last 1641 the Castle of Dublin should have surprized as at that time it might easily have beene for there was no feare or suspition of Treachery there being at that time foure hundred Irish Papists elected out of most parts of Ireland desperate persons designed and appointed for that bloudy and desperate attempt all lodging and sculking in severall places of the City and Suburbs waiting and expecting the time and watch-word when to give the onset But that God that keepeth Israel saw their bloudy intentions to overthrow and ruinate all the professours of the true Religion disapointed their wicked hopes and to their owne shame and confusion discovered and laid open their hellish plot to succeeding ages that the Lord alone might be admired and they confounded And this he did by moving in the heart of one of their own Countrimen at that time an abhorring of so foule and detestable a Treason and to reveale it to Sir William Parsons Knight and Baronet Master of the Court of Wards and Liveries and Sir John Borlase Knight Master of the Ordnance both Lords Justices of the Kingdome of Ireland The party who discovered the plot had been formerly a servant to Sir John Clotworthy a godly and religious Gentleman but at time when hee revealed their designe hee served one Captaine Mack-Mahowne an Irishman who lodged at the signe of the Artichoake vulgarly called Saint Maries Abbey in the Suburbs of the City of Dublin The servants name was Owen Mack-Connel who being with his Master Captain Mack-Mahown in a house in Cookstreet at the Lodging of the Lord Mack-Gueere also and Irishman in the City of Dublin Upon the two and twentieth of October being the night afore his Master did then and there reveale the whole plot unto him in the presence of the Lord Mack-Gueere and others Owen Macke-onell who discouered the plot of takinge Dublin had a Pistoll Charged with too Bullets the pane primed with powder Brimstone twice offered against him tooke not fire so the Rebells said God will not suffer him to be killed he will be on our side I warrant you Owen Macke-onell leapinge ouer a wall escaped was sent to our Parlament with letters was rewarded 500 lb 200 per Annum At the first the Lord Parsons did seem to slight it but Owen Mack-Counel confidently affirmed the thing to my Lord in the hearing of his servants to be true and withall told him thus viz. My Lord my Lord I have discharged my duty and my conscience look you to it I will goe backe to my Master because neither hee nor the rest shall suspect me Your Lordship shall find my Lord Mack-Gueere at Master Cadowgans house in Cookstreet and Captaine Mack-Mahown at the Artichoke in the aforesaid Maryes Abbey to which place I am going now This Owen Mack-Connel going homewards to his Masters lodging takes up dirt in his hands and besmuts and dirties his face that he might appear to them to have tumbled over and over in the dirt whose approach and entrance into the roome where a great many of them were assembled together drinking and making merry for they intended not to goe to bed was so ridiculous that the company burst out into such a loud and sudden laughter with shouting and hollowing that the place rung of them round about and to welcome him home the company fell to their old course to make him drinke more but at last he told them that he must needs goe down into the yard so they suffered him to goe but commanded two of his companions to attend him and bring him up againe but they let him goe into the yard by himselfe not suspecting what he had done nor what hee meant to doe no sooner was he in the yard but knowing the place leaped over the pale and so escaped from them Great search they made in the yard for him and up and downe the house thinking hee had been crept to bed or hid himself in the barn of stable so that they were amazed to think what should become of him because they generally believed him to be so drunk and in such a pickle they refrained
