advancement of the Crowne Revenues and lastly in the competent number of Bishops and other able and Learned Ministers of the Church of England of all sorts which we especially attribute to the blessednesse of your time and to the Industryes Zeale Judgment and moderation of your Deputy as well in your Majesty service as towards this people● having now well learned this great office and to the good beginnings of the two last precedent Deputies under direction of your most Renowned Father Secondly we understand that your Deputy and Councel are blamed for the present surcharge of your Revenues here far beyond the support thereof Herein your Royal Majesty may be pleased to cause a review of our dispatch from hence in August 1627. wherein it wil appear that their part in that offence hath been only obedience to extraordinary warrants from thence and that if those warrants had not beene fully performed out of your Revenues you had had about 40000 pound Irish to pay pensioners in your Coffers and answer other necessities which have since increased So as we humbly crave pardon freely to affirme that the fault hath not been here and further also to say for your Majesties honour and our comfort that during 200 years last past England hath never been so free of the charge of Ireland as now it is Thirdly we understand that your Deputy is accused for miscarriage in the legal prosecution of Phelim Mach Fr●gh and others adhering to him in certain treasonable Acts and Practises Herein we most humbly beseech your Majesty that a review may be of a declaration sent from hence about the beginning of your Deputies government signed hy him and all the Counsel then here whereby wil appear how the parts of Lemster at least have been from age to age infested by him and his predecessors and the inhabitants of the territory of Ranelagh wherein he tooke upon him a Chiefery and therein will also appeare that it was the special affection and endeavour of several worthy Deputies here to have cleared that offensive plot which no wise State could suffer so neer the seat thereof and that they also severally attempted it by force the said Phelims Father being slain by actuall Rebellion by Sir William Russels prosecution but the generall Rebellion of the Kingdome alwaies interrupted the settlement thereof This being at that time the declaration of the State moved your Deputy being a stranger to have a wary aspect upon the people for the Common peace which he hath carefully performed Afterwards at the time when the general voice was amongst the Irish that the Spaniards would be here your Deputie had cause to examine several persons and causes concerning that Rumour wherby fell out to be discovered to him among others that this Phelim had confederated for raising a Commotion in Lemster and murthering a Scottish Minister and Justice of peace a ready instrument in Crown Causes inhabiting about the border of the said territory Before which time we never heard of any displeasure or hard measure born by your said Deputy to him or offence taken by him at any particular done to him unless he were offended that your Deputy refused his mony offered to blanch your Majesties title to the Lands in Ranlagh now granted to undertakers discovered and prosecuted at first by his brother Redmond and his Councel Peter de la Hoyd We do also herein in all humility testifie and declare that he acquainted several Privy Councellors here and others of Judgment with the same And also in every Act and passage thereof used the labour and presence either of your Majesties Privy Concellours Judges or learned Councel alwaies professing publickly and privately which we also in our consciences do believe that he had no particular envy or displeasure to Phelims's person or any of his neither had any end in what might fall out upon that discovery or pains or any act done concerning that Country other then the reducement thereof to the conformity of other civil parts the common peace of your Majesties good Subjects adjacent and the legal and plenary effecting of that which by so many good governours in times of disturbance could not be done there being no power in him to make any particular benefit of the Escheate either in lands or goods and before any thing was to be done for the tryal of him and the rest for their lives he made a speedy and immediate address to your Majesty dated 27. August 1628 upon the indictment found to inform you of the then present estate of that businesse which we have seen not doing it before as he affirms for that he had formerly received gracious approbations of his proceedings in the like discoveries We also in all humblenesse and duty do declare and protest that if upon their evil demerits and the due proceedings of Law those now questioned may be taken away and the Territory settled in legal Government and English order towards which a strong Fort is already almost built in the midst of it by your Majesties Undertakers lately planted there It will be a service of the greatest importment to bridle the Irish assure the inhabitants of other Parts and strengthen the generall peace of the Kingdom next to the great Plantation of Vlster that hath been done in this age If otherwise they shall by fair tryall acquit the course of your Majesties free and indifferent justice it will make them wary in point of duty and loyalty hereafter And we do further in all submission declare That in these discoveries the persons and Causes considered it was of necessity that the personal pains of your Highness Deputy should be bestowed the rather for that the Evidences being to be given for the most part by persons involved in the same confederacyes and who were to become actors they would not be drawn to confess truths to any inferior Ministers being of stubborn and malign spirits besides the disswasions of Priests and of the Dependants and manifold Allies of the said Phelim if they had not been warily look'd after Lastly We in all humblenesse of heart and freedom of faithful servants do beseech your most sacred Majesty to consider how much the sufferings of your zealous servants may prove to your disservice especially in this place where discouragement of your most dextrous service is most aimed at by multitudes of several qualities and cannot but soon perplex the present happy state of your affairs Wee beseech the eternall God to guide and prosper your Majesties advices and designes 28.
