A65566	The honesty and true zeal of the Kings witnesses justified and vindicated against those unchristian-like equivocal protestations of Dr. Oliver Plunkett, asserting in his last speech his own innocency being as great damnation to his soul, as any of his former trayterous and hellish practices against his King and countrey, as breathing them upon the point of death, without any time of repenting the enormity of them with true contrition / by Florence Weyer, Gent.	Weyer, Florence.	1681 (1681)	Wing W1525; ESTC R8013	10,331	16

ruinated Church where the said Brian Murphy took occasion to tell Plunket that certain old people Natives of that place could prove that in their nonage they have seen the Burials there as lyable to Church and Clark duties as elsewhere which custome said he is not observed now adays whereat Plunket desired Murphy to be very careful in advancing those things for said he although they be at present possessed by the heretick Clergy we expect a sudden restoration of them In order to his will it was so closely followed and carryed on by Murphy that the place enjoyeth not the former immunity I suppose the testimony of the rest of the company to be of sufficiency to prove that Duffy was in his Company and hath not swore false as Plunket in his said Speech alledgeth Further I hope you will observe if it was possible for a Prelate of his calling to have dined in one House and in another to have drunk his share of ten Bottles of Wine and all that in half an Houres time As for the rest of the Forts and Sea-Ports which he viewed or sent others to view them and denyeth his so doing I would have the Reader understand this to be his Evasion that there is hardly ever a City Fort or Town Corporate in Ireland but takes its Denomination from either a Fort Ford Rock Mount or some other particular spot of ground notified in that place before the building or planting of a City or Town there as Dublin which takes its Denomination by Authentick Irish Presidents from a Bridge made of wattle hyrdles to drive over the Lyffin water the Sheep of a certain rich man by name Atherne then Inhabitant there Drogheda from the like subject Carrickfergus from a steepy Rock whereon the Castle is Built and Fergus called the first King of Scots the founder of that Castle for the Irish word Carrick signifieth in English a steepy Rock Lisina Garvy from a Fort c. Now Plunket dare boldly protest with ample Conscience that he was never in those Towns as not being within those very particular places from whence they receive their said several Denominations which if a man with safe conscience can depose I leave the world to Judge Further asserting that he was never at any meeting of 300 Gentlemen in any the Counties of Ardmagh Monaghan or Cavan which negative would extend to an admiration of the truth were as well known here as in Ireland whereas he kept his Provincial Counsels in them Counties yet his wily Evasions are to be notified meaning that all the Irish Gentlemen in that Province are degenerated as not possessed of any present Estates or Patrimonies yet for his life he would say but that he was at an Assembly of 300 Irish Gentlemen by Extraction Further adding in his said Speech and 't is well known that there are not even in all the Province of Ulster 300 Roman Catholicks who had Estates or lost Estates by the late Rebellion which is a mighty abominable and unpardonable Lye as evidently indisputable as the Sun sits in its Continents But Gentle Reader to satisfie your mind further of the late Horrid intended Conspiracy you shall understand that those who lost their Estates there 400 or 500 years ago are possessed with as fervent a thirst of recovery as those who lost it by the late Rebellion nay the very Danes are ever still designed for Ireland Further protesting that he never knew or heard that the French were to land at Carlingford and that he did believe there were none who ever saw Ireland even in a Map but would think it a meer Romance To which I answer that 't is to be observed the guilt of his horrid Crimes rendered him unmindful of his former sagacity so that he must needs bring out this uncolorable Lye to discover the Palpability of that his whole last Speech to be most maliciously false and grounded only to bring revenge and aspersion upon the Witnesses for truly the very Irish Etimology of the word Carlingford verifies the Haven to be doubtless as good unless somewhat narrow as any in England or Ireland But to define it will not be so satisfactory to you as the experience of the Haven As to the Word it consists of three syllables thus Cath-ar-ling Cath signifieth a Fight Fought ar signifieth on and ling the stream or Water viz. Cartharling in Irish and Carlingford in English and taketh that name from a great Fight fought on that Water just at the Foot of the Castle between the Irish and the Danes I assure that any of His Majesties best Ships even at low water may ride into the Bay there till it hook the very Castle wall Oliver the first Usurper had no small Fleet with which notwithstanding the Block-house with all its Artillery playing as fast as a shower of Arrows and all other the Fortifications there he landed in that place which I hope confirms the Evidence of the Witnesses not to be Romance However Oliver the second must be then no greater Slave to his word then during the rest of his life it being his common apology when reproved about his Lies Nevertheless the self partial are very apt and inclinable to believe the last protestations of that dying Patriarch and sweet Traytor who never before during his life time could tell any truth Further alleadging that if he should confess these crimes or to have acknowledged the raising of Seventy Thousand Men in Ulfter or even in all Ireland it being well known that all the revenues of Ireland Spiritual and Temporal possessed by His Majesties Subjects are scarce able to raise and maintain an Army of Seventy Thousand men or the design of landing the French at Carlingford no wise man that knows Ireland would believe him all would laugh at him no Protestant Jury would find him Guilty of the Indictment It is a great truth that Ireland was never since the Creation of the World so populous as it is in these later days and consequently indisputably true that Ulster could raise Seventy Thousand Men set the rest of Ireland aside but mark herein how delivering the words possessed by His Majesties Subjects hath betrayed his Equivocations and mental reservation as meaning His Sacred Majesty of Great Britain not to be Supreme King of that Land but the Pope for that Donaghy M. Brian the last of the Irish Kings being defeated by conquest brought the Crown out of Ireland and delivered it to the Pope so that depriving the King of England of his Right and Prerogative of Ireland his Subjects there can raise but a small army I pray observe the protestations of that worthy Patriarch Yet I grant that no wise man of his own Hellish and factious Crew would resemble to believe him that they would dissemble to laugh at him for he is a fool that would not cover his own nakedness as also 't is very true that no formal Protestant Jury would Cast him Adding further that the Jury
