to all posterity And that Iustice may be done upon the wilfull opposers thereof in manner expressed in the precedent Article 6. We shall also according to our places and callings in this common cause of Religion liberty and peace of the kingdomes assist and defend all those that enter into this League and Covenant in the maintaining and pursuing thereof and shall not suffer our selves directly nor indirectly by whosoever combination perswasion or terrour to be divided from this blessed union and conjunction whether to make defection to the contrary parts or to give our selves to a detestable indifferency or neutrality in this cause which so much concerneth the glory of God the good of the kingdomes and honour of the King but shall all the dayes of our lives zealously and constantly continue therein against all opposition and promote the same according to our power against all letts and impediments whatsoever and what wee are not able ourselves to suppresse or overcome wee shall reveale and make knowne that it may be timely prevented all which wee shall doe as in the sight of God And because these kingdomes are guilty of many sins and provocations against God and his Sonne Iesus Christ as is too manifest by our present distresses and dangers the fruits thereof we professe and declare before God and the world our unfayned desire to bee humbled for our owne sins and for the sins of these kingdomes especially that wee have not as wee ought valued the inestimable benefit of the Gospell that wee have not laboured for the purity and power thereof and that wee have not endeavoured to receive Christ in our hearts nor to walke worthy of him in our lives which are the causes of other sins and transgressions so much abounding amongst us And our true and unfained purpose desire and endeavour for our selves and all others under our power and charge both in publicke and in private in all duties we owe to God and man to amend our lives and each one to goe before other in the example of a reall Reformation that the Lord may turne away his wrath and heavy indignation and establish these Churches and kingdomes in truth and peace and this Covenant wee make in the presence of Almighty God the searcher of all hearts with a true intention to performe the same as we shall answer at that great day when the secrets of all hearts shall bee disclosed most humbly beseeching the Lord to strengthen us by his Holy Spirit for this end and to blesse our desires and proceedings with such successe as may bee deliverance and safety to his people and encouragement to other Christian Churches groaning under or in danger of the yoake of Antichristian Tyranny to joyne in the same or like Association and Covenant to the glory of God the enlargement of the Kingdome of Iesus Christ and the peace and tranquillity of Christian Kingdomes and Commonwealths BY THE SVPREAME COVNCELL OF THE CONFEDERAT CATHOLICKS of IRELAND THe ensueing Declaration having come to our hands soone after the recesse of the late Generall Assembly of the Confederate Catholicks held at VVaterford wee thought fit for the better publishing thereof in all the parts of this kingdome that the same should bee printed whereby his Majesties good Subjects may evidently see what insolent expressions are therein contained against his Majesties power and proceedings against his Majesties Catholicke Subjects against all well minded Protestants that labour to settle a right understanding betwixt his Majestie his Subjects of this kingdome they take upon them to Censure his Majesty for displacing persons affected to Religion and putting into their places men Popishly addicted or in plaine English for displacing Sir VVilliam Parsons and appointing Sir Henry Tichborne one of the Iustices and of the rest it is apparant whom they meane they take notice that in his Majesties Commission sent hither to receive the Grievances of his people some of the Commissioners were Papists there being none named of such as they intend thereby but the Earle of Clanrikard whom it seemeth they thinke either unworthy of that honour or unfit to be trusted they say that the Catholicks of this kingdome are reduced to such Necessity that they devoure and eate one another which praise be to God is most false our markets being in most places as well supplied as at any time before and where those here of the State that did adhere to the malignant party in England resolved to destroy this Nation by famine and to that purpose advised all the Cornes in the march of the forces to bee burned and accordingly very much Corne was Burned many thousands of the said forces by the just Iudgment of God perished within their Garrisons in sundry parts of this kingdome for want of victualls they laboured to hinder any Cessation with the said Catholicks urging that the designe thereof did arise first from them an objection proper to such as rebell against their King ought not a dutifull people to petition for redresse of their grievances to their Prince they affirme that the raising of Armes by this Nation which they Call Rebellion was without provocation but resolutions of extirpating the Catholicke Religion and the professors thereof in this kingdome will be proved not onely by testimony of Catholicks but even of many Protestants and then all the world they hope will witnesse with them the justnesse and necessity of this war and though they insult of successe and insinuate that the Catholicks failing to prevaile by strength have recourse to Craft Yet it is well knowne that in most Conflicts the losse was greater of the other side the Authors of this Declaration are not satisfied to have overbusied themselves and assumed Regall Power in England but hereby let the Counsell of State here know how highly they have offended that they acquainted them not with the intention of a Cessation of Armes and let them also know that they represented the wants of the Armies here unto the Parliament of England with much Craft to have a ground wherewith to collour the Cessation as if his Majesties Commission were not sufficient to justifie their proceedings therein and conclude with this inference that the forces here by meanes of this Cessation will find opportunity to joyne with the Popish party in England for their greater strengthning by all which it is evident that if the usurped Regall power of those incendiaries can have influence on Ireland that none with or without his Majesties Commission shall stand justified but such as adhere to them and their Rebellion and forsake their Loyalty and obedience to his Majesties Commands A DECLARATION OF THE LORDS AND COMMONS ASSEMBLED IN PARLIAMENT Shewing the present designe now on foot by vertue of a pretended Comission from his Majestie for a cessation of Armes or treaty of peace with the Rebells in Ireland now they are brought to such a low condition that they are inforced to devoure and eate one another in some parts
