THese are to m●ke known and published to all his majesty's good Subjects in this kingdom of Ireland, That there is a Discovery made by Us the Lords, Justices, and council, of a most disloyal and detestable conspiracy intended by some evil affected Irish Papists, against the lives of Us the Lords, Justices, and council, and many others of his majesty's faithful Subjects universally throughout this kingdom, and for the seizing not only of his majesty's Castle of Dublin his majesty's principal Fort here, but also of the other Fortifications of the kingdom. And seeing by the great goodness and abundant mercy of Almighty God to his Majesty and this State and kingdom, these wicked Conspiracies are brought to light, and some of the Conspirators committed to the Castle of Dublin by us, by his majesty's authority, so as those wicked and Damnable Plots, are now disappointed in the chief parts thereof: we therefore have thought fit hereby not only to make it publicly known for the comfort of his majesty's good and loyal Subjects in all parts of the kingdom, but also hereby to require them, that they do with all confidence and cheerfulness betake themselves to their own defence, and stand upon their Guard, so to render the more safety to themselves and all the kingdom besides, and that they advertise us with all possible speed of all occurrences which may concern the peace and safety of the kingdom, and now to show fully that faith and Loyalty which they have always shown for the public service of the crown and kingdom, which we will value to his Majesty accordingly, and a special memory thereof, will be retained for their advantage in due time, and we require that great care be taken that no Levies of men be made for foreign Service, or any man suffered to march upon any such pretences.  
Given at his majesty's Castle at Dublin, 25. Octob. 1641.
