pleased to stop it with the se●tling of his true Church in order I mean the reformed Protestant Religion with abollishing of Papists Atheists and other vild Sects that choak the true Gospell and the peace of these Kingdoms the which poore Ireland hath and still lives in with that continuance of griefe that is insensible to any but those which lately have to give a feeling relation of the same for those Protestant Gentry that through good hap hath escaped to Dublin from the barbarous cruelty of the murthering Rebels men both well landed and Moneyed yet have they bin in Dublin after their moneys have been gone glad to fell their Plate such as some by stealth could get thither for halfe a Crowne and two shillings an Ounce yea and for eighteen pence an Ounce Gold Rings of two and twenty shillings weight for seven shillings and glad any man will so befriend them Pewter three-pence and two pence halfe penny and two pence a pound and the best Brasse the same Bedding and other Houshold stuffe worth nothing so that English Protestants that have a long time been livers in the Kingdome Citizens of Dublin who have by gathering all their lise times a competent subsistance for them and for their Children hare by the lessing of Souldiers put upon them for pay they have not had nor their Commanders to give them by which meanes they have been eate and drunke out of all mon●ies and goods to relieve them with as by the sad relation of an Englishman a Cooke who kept an Ordinary at the signe of the Bell as many here can witnesse was a man very able onely by his paines taking and trade yet be had such a Company seast upon him that it utterly undid him for by his owre confession now in London to many of the Parliament had but renne layne upon his charge he could have maintained both him them and his Houshold well enough likewise so all the City more and lesse doe thus complaine Markets they have but flesh very poore sqashey and unwholsome which hath as many conjecture bred fluxes and diseases among them Bread scarce and coorse Butter very little and as deare and that place so plentifull heretofore for Egges one sould for a penny yet is that Towne by the strong supportrance of the Castle impossible to be taken and for treachery they have and still take a good course to have no dealing or commerce with the Irish or Papist though English is there are some yet tha●kes be to God for it they have had good reliefe by the Sea for Fish as from Rulloch the onely Herring-place six miles from Dublin have be●n sent up by Boates infinite of Cod Haddocke Place and like Fish Herrings thirty for a penny for the porer sort that have nothing to doe but their paines may have them for fetching as for the Rebels in all parts of the Country as namely the Pr●vi●ces of Munster Connough Limstar Vlster and the li●e by reason of our distractio●s here in England h●ping th●t it will have no cessation of Armes or unna●urall Warr one with the other will be still have in

plentifull Crop and enjoying the Harvest to themselves with Summars Aide from Spaine and other places for some of their Commanders have stole away since the Earle of VVarwicke left his Charge upon the Sea to come unto the Parliaments imployment on the Land now the Rebels being there intend to raise Forces and transport them out of Spaine into Ireland if they can get them over But God I trust as he hath still will ever frusterate their ill intents and make the sea their grave that thinks to kill and bury us on land who as they suppose have all save Dublin in their poss●ssion who come not nere it nor hath such intent because their Devilish Preists of antichrist that were the sitst incendiaries of this evill still fats them up with promise of their land and all sh●ll be their owne and they to live happy I feare happier then when their patron blest Saint Patrick made all almost in common in their Land and did so holy sanctifie the same that all ill moving Creatures from that earth as Frogs Toades Adders Snakes blud-wormes Mules and Asses he charmed downe from a mountaine to the sea and as their ill tutard ignorance reports he sent them into England Scotland Wales and the Isle of man

wildernesse of wolves have bin destroyed they have drawne their natures and conditions from them and are the same themselves and now live in that selfe security as they were Israels Children and that Land were their promise and poore Roges that alwaies naked lived on mountaines or on moores halfe starved and eaten up with lice which vermaine their Saint Patrick left enough off now play on Tabers and on Drum beds for handfulls and for purses fild with silver and with gold which they have robd and murdered English for and vows as it is credibly reported before the English ere should reposesse thir owne again they would chock●e themselves with it or throw it in the sea or bury it in the earth so mighty is their hate to those that have reformed them from bad as beasts into humanity tell now they lost it and now them selves in midst of all their welth doth even no more but tantalise vpon it for in all parts is sedition raised amongst them round There friers in their disputattons Iarr with each other Father against Father Doctrine against Doctrine And many of the wisest and the noblest of them have drawne forth heads and meetings with each other cursing the first begetters of this Rebellion for they them selves terme it no better now Togeather with their sad Relations of their suture happy lives both they their fathers and their granfathers before them and how with peace and plenty they were blest each Raining as a King over his owne This in all parts is tooke into consideration of their wisest who thinks to find favour by suppressing the rest Some Skirmishes they have had and as it credibly reported they are very like to destroy themselves Which if God of his mercy send a true and firme uniting betwixt the King and Parliament they have but short continuance or time
