as farre as Clantarfe a place not two miles from them The Counsell onely was looked upon as an attempt of great hazard and danger in a very short time we were able to seek the Rebels in their owne holds and beat them as I may say on their owue Dunghils Not long after this the Army that was sent from hence by the Parliament arrived safe at Dublin which put new life and spirit into our breasts and as much terrified the Rebels having its more then probable some pre-assurance that nothing should be done against them heer thinking the troubles heere being indeed a thread of the same spinning would have followed their needle but they were somewhat deceived in the time though for the matter it fell out as was designed The affaires of the Protestants began now to smile upon them and we perceived already the glimmerings of a more glorious day then ever we saw before so that we were brought if not to forget our former sufferings yet at least not to regard them in comparison of those happy times we saw euery day drawing nearer and nearer to us our Armies alwayes carried victory in their Van and in their Reare left the Country to the peaceable possession of the English the Rebels running continually before us five chasing a hundred and ten putting a thousand to flight The resolutions of the Counsell were apparently to the good of the English and nothing to be seen amongst them that favoured of unjust or selfith ends As we enjoyed the benefits of their labours and watchings so we did our endeavours that they might be the better for our prayers wherein we were not wanting nor in the prayses of our God for them and the blessing we daily received by their means that God that had compassion on us in our low estate and when we were truly in our blood said unto us Live CIVIL IS and MARCUS being both as much affected with joy by this last part of DECIUS his Relation as before they were with sorrow MARCUS being not able any longer to containe himselfe interrupted DECIUS as be was going on and said When I compare the first part of your Relation with this that you are now upon Marcus and consider that Chaos and confusion that darknesse that was upon the face of the whole Land and now againe this light that was divided from that darknesse me thinks I see the hand of God like that of a man in it and writing as it did once to Belshazzar upon the wall but mercy instead of judgement Not as there Dan. 5. ● 42.8 Thy Kingdome is divided and given to the Meads and Persians but this My glory will I not give to another nor my prayse to graven Images Alas Sir Decius this evening and morning that you have seen make but up the first day there are six more behind all dayes of labour and sorrow to the English and no Sabbath of rest from their sufferings You have seen us like a ship tossed and driven to and fro in a dangerous storme our masts split our sailes blowne away our anchors lost and in a word left as men without hope in the world you have seen us againe by the skilfull conduct of our Pilots and the good providence of our great Master in Heaven brought within sight of a safe harbour and now you must behold us split upon the Bars mouth and every one like Pauls Passengers some upon boards and some upon broken pieces of the shippe labouring to escape safely to Land CIVILIS desiring him to let them partake with him both of the good and had DECIUS continued his speech as followes The first appearance and as I may say the buds that have since blossomed and growne into such bitter and uncomfortable fruits were seen after the death of that never to be forgotten incomparable Commander Sir Charles Coot a death that was attended with as much sorrow and prosecuted with as much misery to us as it will be remembred with glory and honour to him Wee in these parts were not a little sensible of your great losse in a man that was every way so fitted for those times if it had been Gods will they should be mended and though the manner of his fall being ●vilie as is reported by one of his Souldiers did encrease the sorrow of some for my part that circumstance did not then work a greater griefe seeing his enemies had not that happinesse they desired as now upon what you have told us it has raised a suspition in me that there was something more then faire play in the businesse If it were so Decius God in the end will search it out and when all those loud cryes of the Protestant blood in Ireland shall come before him he will not turne away his eare from this Whether it were so or no I am sure the party that did the deed was never questioned or examined concerning the same and there was so good use made of his death as may make a man beleeve he was taken out of the way that the Mystery of that Iniquity which had a secret working in his life time might be more fully revealed after his death From that time every thing began to look new and the Counsell-Board to be silled with new Counsellours men that had laine hid before like Swallowes in winter but now like Tares sowne by the wicked one suddenly over-top the good Corne so that there was to be seen an universall change in all our Counsels as before our Counsellours looked all like Cherubims face to face you might see them now like Samp●ons Foxes drawing severall wayes the former being too honest to hold their tongues and suffer things to run on quietly in disorder and these latter too numerous and false to be over-ruled from whence arose a slack and unfaithfull prosecution of the Warre so well begun against the Rebels the countenancing of all manner of unheard of confusions and the oppression of the small remainder of the almost heart-broken English and the bold and open favouring of the most bloody wretches that ever the Sun beheld The labours of this Party and their diligence was so great that within a short time we were reduced to our first principles and brought as I may say to a worse condition notwithstanding the large and good supplies sent from hence then we were at the very beginning of the Rebellion when we had nothing almost God knowes to support us The place which God of his great mercy reserved for a City of refuge for the English to find safety and comfort in was open and free to the worst of their enemies and they that had shed and poured out like waters so much innocent blood in the Country had the liberty to come thither and professe not their repentance but their sotrow that they did no more though indeed that lay not in their power to commit greater villanies As long as I lived in Dublin
