to this Honourable Assembly And forasmuch as the said Mr Davis and his Partners have already received above 40000lb of the Monies ordered them for their satisfaction which is a very competent Summe to this time for what they have delivered that you will therefore give order to the Treasurers of Grocers-Hall if you shall so thinke fit that they do hereafter reserve such Monies in their hands as shall come in upon those Ordinances out of which they should be satisfied what is behinde untill these matters shall be fully heard and determined that so the Parliament may have in deposito wherewith to be recompenced for these miscarriages and losses when they shall appear and which will be a mean in such case to draw the same to a speedy end And forasmuch as Sr John Clotworthy Knight one of the Members of this Honourable Assembly hath received 24000lb or thereabouts of the States and adventurers Money and is much doubted that he can give no good accompt thereof and which matter also as your Petitioners have heard do lye before the said Committee of Accompts examined Therefore for the just repair and vindication of the Gentleman and for satisfaction of your Petitioners and of all the world how he hath disposed of the Monies Goods and Provisions he hath received for the Forces in Ireland They also humbly pray that this Honourable House would be likewise pleased to require the said Committee of Accompts of the Kingdoms to certifie this Honourable Assembly the true state of his accompt and whatsoever matters and things lyeth before them dependent thereupon that so you may proceed to do therein also as in your grave wisdoms you shall thinke fit And they shall pray c. Da. Watkins by order of the Committee Reasons delivered by the Adventurers in London for Lands in Ireland for to maintain the Equity of their Propositions Presented to the Honourable Houses of PARLIAMENT for the better carrying on the Warre in Ireland THey did propound them almost two years since in more perillous times when that Kingdom was even gasping for life and in Cessation with the Rebels all the parts of it but Vlster and when this Kingdom was in a very sad and calamitous condition in great danger to have been destroyed by a potent enemy and with much labour working out supplies for the support of it self at home and which they have pursued ever since with many more then twenty Petitions and Remonstrances to the Parliament and their Committees to have gained consideration which the great affairs of this Kingdom hath still prevented till this time the said Committee of Grocers-Hall having procured much relief in the interim to the Souldiers in Vlster which hath kept them together and since to the Souldiers in Munster that they have declared themselves for the Parliament or otherwise they have confessed that whole Kingdome was in great danger to have been yeelded up and lost which proves the reality of the Committees affections and that their labours have not been fruitlesse nor to have been byassed to any other ends then the meer good of the Kingdoms There is not any of the said Propositions which doth generally charge the people by Tax or Assessement but are all in effect arbitrary and of benevolence a matter considerable to ease the Subject what possible may be in these times when their estates are so much weakened and exhaust as that they are very hardly able to pay such Taxes and Contributions as are charged upon them meerly necessary for to support the burthens of the Common-wealth at home saving that one only Proposition which is desired to compell the ill affected that have obscured and estranged themselves all this while from assisting the Parliament and this Cause with their purses and persons having done very little or not in proportion to their estates as others and whose greatest injury in this constraint will be but to compell them unto an act for their own advantage and that they now joyne with the good party to carry on the Warre there in a time more neerer to the benefit to be received for their disbursements and wherein they shall with more visible hopes partake of that which hath been all this time preserved to such a day of good expectation by those that have made conscience to save their Countrey from ruin with the expence and hazard of their lives and fortunes They are all Propositions tending to the maintenance of that Warre the more speedy reducing of those Rebels to their obedience the reestablishment of that Government once again in peace and quiet and the better peopling and civilizing of that Realm for which all should possibly contend and lay down those ways and means that have the greatest likelihood and appearance to effect a good and speedy plantation of that Kingdom with a religious people in the place and stead of that Idolatrous Nation the Irish Rebels For which purpose if there may be raised a considerable revenue to the Crown to support its own burthen though with some assistance and helpe from hence now in the beginning if such wayes and courses may be taken as may the soonest bring all the three Kingdoms all to be as one Nation and people and may the speediest secure it from danger of an enemy is without all peradventure of the greatest consideration Which to effect and bring to passe is by engaging all the three Kingdoms together by all possible wayes and means and all the Protestant party in Christendome in one common bond and union that will submit to our forme of government in Church and the Civil State and if the Parliament should give those Lands freely to men thus qualified and undertaking alwayes reserving such a good revenue to the Crown thereout as aforesaid must questionlesse do this with the most speed and security How can it be then reasonably objected against those that have and shall not only adventure considerable summes of Money to carry o● the Wa●●e there at present but agree to secure great rents unto the Crown for their Lands for the future to have whatsoever proportions of the Rebels estate● they shall upon such tearms acquire and undertake to plant Upon which grounds will it not be very advantagious to the Common-wealth if to condescend to all such Propositions as shall thus do this wor●e As first that the Adventurer that brings in ready Money have the priority to be satisfied next that the Souldier may be allowed all or part of hi● pay and entertainment out of these Rebels Lands at least and next those P●●testants of other Nations that will Adventure and set down with us upon these conditions that those poor Protestants of Ireland who have been dispoiled of their estates there by the Rebels and many thousands 〈◊〉 their lives their heirs and assignes have not only restitution of what have been thus forcibly taken from them but satisfaction for such damages also as they have sustained out of the estates of those
