LONDON, Printed for John Gr, 1642.   

THE FRENCH and SPANISH FLEET Arrived at Ireland.  
THe Frenchmen having great and plenary intelligence of the Papists proceed in Ireland, after long debate and private confederacy concerning the same effect, they sent without any intermission of longer time a Herald of Arms to Tyrone (that Arch-rebel in Ireland certifying him, that if they were defective, or had any need of auxiliary assistance, they would instantly conjoin with unanimity, and defend their party with constant puissance, Whereupon Tyrone graciously returned an Answer, that he was much respective towards them, and promised the uttermost of their intents, and endeavours to perform the best courtesy for their so gracious a Message concerning the demolition of protestant Religion, and withal beseeched, and earnestly requested them to raise some sudden force, and to send a Navy with great expedition unto them, that they might fully subdue the whole kingdom of Ireland. This Embassage being returned, they (after mature, and serious 〈◊〉 ●long and conected with a regular aggregation the number of six thousand men of Arms to go speedily into Ireland, with 9 ships fully loaden with Arms, Ammunition, and strong fortification for the same purpose and intent. And being thus provided for Ireland, they seemed to go on with great alacrity, until they came to the full ohject of their unanimous expectation: where they were very nobly entertained, and with great favour and affectionate respection. Wherefore they being landed at the Port of Cavarre marched on still, until they came beyond the Territories of that kingdom to Armagh, where they began a promiscuous rnd tumultuous clamar among the people, slaying, and destroying whomsoever they could meet with, of what sect, degree, or Age soever.  
When as they met with the Rebels, they had great and singular congratulation, who immediately conducted them with great expedition to that famous, renowned, and honourable City of Dublin, who incontinently besieged the same, and most tyrannically assaulted, whensoever they met.  
The said Castle of Dublin they intended to take the eighteenth day of December, and without any humane partiality they did put the poor protestants to the intolerable misery, and deplorable calamity.  
There was great and unexpected solemnity, triumph, and celebration at the French fleet arrived in the p … Territories of Ireland, who came to assist the Rebels in so devilish and diabolical a design, and to auxiliate then against the protestants, that profess the true and sincere purity of religion: but I hope in God's omnipotency that all their plots will be emolished.  

The Spanish Fleet arrived in Ireland.  
SIR Patrick Devons collected a numerous multitude out of Spain to go into Ireland, for the assistance of the said Papists there congregated, and plotting the utter subversion of true Christian religion.  
He had under his command five thousand men in Arms, who came in a Navy into Ireland to the auxiliation of the rebels.  
Where at their arrival, Tyrone and his confederates joyfully entertained him. The cause of their first commotion, and furious insurrection was this.  
The Pope's Nuntio transported such News into Spain, that his supremacy was pleased to supplant the Kingdom of England, and all their Adherents: and because they were Heretics. Therefore his Primacy would vouchsafe to depose them all. After this Nuncio's message reported to the King of Spain, he imposed, and committed all the subsequent to Sir Patrick Devons in Ireland, who immediately by the command of the King of Spain went under the conduct of 5000. soldiers, who arriving at the Irish Coast were royally entertained by some of the chief of the Rebels.  
They seemed to be very inhuman, and withal they took a private Oath among themselves, that whatsoever Protestant they should mere, or any inclining to the Protestant Religion, he or they should be incontinently slain without any partiality at all, and he or they, or any of them that should deny the same should be expelled as a traitor to their party. Thus they proceeded in their  and tyrannical slaughter, putting all to the sword, that they could meet obviously of the Protestant religion and profession.  
We see therefore, and may apparently perceive how bloodily these rebels proceed in their cruelty and therefore we ought not to sleep in the chairs of security, and suffer our poor Brethren to suffer there in great violation, and miserable calamity,  
For security is the very door that opens the very plain way to destruction. And I pray God whilst many of us do think ourselves safe on the sleeping beds of security, that the enemy doth not cut our throats.  
While Esau prolonged the time, Jacob stole away his birthright: And I pray God, while were procraitinate and defer the time in helping out Brethren in Ireland, that a foreign enemy do not steal away the renowned Prerogative of this Kingdom, and so consequently it become a conquered Nation.  
While the men in the holy Gospel slept, the Enemy sowed tares amongst the wheat, and I am sure while we neglect the proper time, many tears of Discord, and schismatical dissension are sown amongst us. But I hope that God, who heretofore have always defended, and preserved this Kingdom of his singular mercy, and favourable omnipotency, will still defend the same for ever, to the propagation of his Truth and Gospel.
