A89475	A manifestation directed to the honourable Houses of Parliament in England, sent from the Lord Inchequin, the Lord Broghill, Sir Wil. Fenton, Sir Percy Smith, Lieut. Col. Will. Brocket, Lieut. Col. Thomas Serle, Sarjeant Major Muschamp; containing the reasons of their now opposing the cestation with the blood-thirsty Irish rebels; and their resolution to live and die in defence of the Parliament and Protestant cause in that Kingdom. As also, the joynt and unamimous declaration of His Majesties Protestant subjects in the Province of Munster, shewing to the whole world the many inhumane, cruell, and unheard of perfidious dealings, treacherous conspiracies, and horrid combinations of friers, priests and Jesuits, to betray the castles, forts and garrisons, and their murthering many Protestants in that province, contrary to the article of free commerce, and other articles of the late treaty.	Inchiquin, Murrough O'Brien, Earl of, 1614-1674.	1644 (1644)	Wing M424; Thomason E6_1; ESTC R3771	7,096	14

though_o we_o have_v notice_n just_a time_n enough_o to_o secure_v our_o main_a magazine_n at_o dublin_n yet_o we_o can_v not_o prevent_v the_o butchery_n of_o multitude_n of_o innocent_a soul_n

the_o child_n of_o jsrael_n from_o the_o egyptian_n never_o appear_v to_o visible_o as_o in_o this_o war._n but_o the_o unhappy_a misunderstanding_n between_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n do_v so_o

be_v never_o able_a to_o prescribe_v any_o certain_a way_n of_o subsistence_n for_o one_o month_n together_o but_o when_o the_o poor_a inhabitant_n be_v absolute_o beggar_a and_o no_o mean_n for_o
