A Full and Perfect ACCOUNT OF THE State and Condition OF THE Province of Ulster in Ireland: In a LETTER from WEXFORD Of the 15th of January, 1689/0.  Licenced and Entered according to Order. 

Dear Brother,  
I Make use of this opportunity of this small Vessel entered, for France, ●●o let you know the sad Condition we who are in these parts are in: Both Protestants and Papists are quite weary of their Government, we are all so oppressed with Soldiers: they have hardly left an Englishman the value of a Farthing; and such Wast is committed by them, that we all dread a Famine next Summer; so that we are all a thinking to get away as soon as the weather may favour, and the nights grow shorter a we have here a Fisherboat by our house, which will make a hard shift for that purpose. I have often repent my riot going over with you; all you have here, as well as of all Absenters is Seized, and the old Proprietors are got into part; the rest King James keeps for those who Believe themselves well this next Campagne. I have no great reason to fear any great effect it will make upon their Courage. For one while the Protestants were all in ●ayl, which gave the Villains an opportunity to plunder their Houses, and Rifle them of what they had▪ 〈◊〉 present they 〈◊〉 out, but how they will subsist I know not in the condition they are in, and now that Provisions are growing dear. I am endeavouring to dispose of what little I had, in order to come off, but here is not a penny of Money to be had for Goods; we are forced to give eight or ten shillings in the pound to exchange Brass for Silver, and glad we can meet with it so to.  
Here are very few or no ●lows agoing, the silly Irish never thinking of the morrow, or what Misery must inevitably attend them thereby.  
The Soldiers here are extremely sickly, and die of a kind of Spotted Fever: some have gone to b●d well a● night, and found dead in the morning: and the Soldiers being sent throughout the Country to Quarter, have brought the Infection along with them.  
We hea● that Macc●●●● is certainly go● to 〈…〉 and great rejoicings.  
Colonel Butler who is Governor of this place now, and had a Regiment, brought but Eighty Men from the Campagne; he is daily getting Re●ruits; but those who now Lift themselves in hopes of a little Winter's Plunder, will I am sure desert when they know they are to go upon Service.  
Captain 〈◊〉 who brought over my Lord Dever from France, is turned out of his Command, his Lordship having accused him, for being the cause why a certain Ship of Arms which accompanied them was taken.  
King James has disposed of the Ship, but I hear not to who. The Irish here are daily looking out for French Succours. I with the English Fl●●● did but appear upon the C●●●, and had any Landing Men on Board, it might do great Execution upon them, now at a time they expect and only rely upon what Foreign Force they shall have, and are unprovided to receive such G●●●s. 〈◊〉 to your good Family, and believe me always,  
Your most Affectionate Brother,   
FINIS.
