them they (although they by Popish yet they) are consciencious,
and know their obedience to their King, and will live and dye for
him; and this I know, that Waterford Limbrick, and Gallaway,
are of more strength and power then all Ireland besides, and the
least of these Cities will cost more blood the purchasing, then all
the Townes and Cities under thy powerfull Government there;
and besides that, Commons of that Kingdome in severall bodies
in the field with the Nobillitie of that Land ready to joyne their
forces and to fall upon thee and thine, and can and will also spare
20000 men to come over to England to assist here if occasion serve;
where have the Irish forces been all this while, and why have
they been so long without making any resistance at all, but have
suffered Nose and his Forces to march so farre into the heart of
that Countrey? to that I answer, that the severall Armies had
no order from the King to make any resistance at all, untill the
generall Treaty was passed, and to have Orders given them from
His Majesty, which Orders they have now received, and are all
ready to joyne as one to the terrour of all their Opposers, and this
is the chiefest cause that stoppeth Noll from comming over.
From Holland thus: I heare that our Westm, Rebells hath sent
a great present to some of the States, to see what they could doe
to break off the Treaty at Breda, but they sent them this answer,
That they would not by any meanes hinder that happie conjunction,
nor give their consents to any thing that kind, for that were the
high way to bring all the Christian Princes in the world upon them.
You may see how the Traytors imitate the devill, to set things
ravishing to catch soules.
The Scots are now come over the River Tweed, and have taken
1500 of the Rebells Horse, and killed three hundred more;
they have faced Carlisle and Barwick, they are to march no further
untill the Treaty be expired. There are 5000 Dane, Sweeds, Polands,
and Russians, landed in Scotland, this last week.
An Irish-man of Warre hath lately taken a very rich Ship laden
with Cloath, Silkes, Stuffes, &c. belonging to Plimouth, and
carried her safe to Fersie, she is valued at 100000 It.
Come Royall Charles, and free us out of care,
Thy absence hath almost made us dispaire.
FINIS.
Gentlemen, I must intreat you to passe by the Printers faults, promising
you that he shall be shall be more carefull in my next.
