7. Whether by the Act of Explanation he hath not got the City of Kilkenny, and six other Corporat Towns, together with their Lands and Liberties, valued by himself and his friends of the council but at 60000 l. though they are well worth 120000 l?

13. Whether it be credible, that his Grace is zealous for the English and Protestant Interest, seeing it is not possible for the Soldiers and Adventurers to be reprized according to His Majesties gracious Declaration, when his Grace hath swallowed up in gifts and grants the best part of the Stock of Reprizalls, and hath made or permitted such Embeslements of His Majesties revenue, and applied the Royal authority, wholly to gain vast advantages to himself, and whether by preferring his own private gains and grants, before the public good and the Just right of the Adventurers and Soldiers, he hath not unsettled the Kingdom of Ireland, and unsatisfied the two main interests of Protestants( the Soldiers and Adventurers) to such a degree, that it is to be feared, it will be a continual charge to England, to keep to the rules of the Acts of Settlement and Explanation so destroyed and desperate a people: and whether all this expense, trouble and danger, for preserving the Duke of Ormond and his Family( that is as much Irish as any can be) in other mens Inheritances, and Rights, be the interest of England or agreeable to the Maxims of sound Policy or of Christian Piety?

17. Whether the Duke of Ormonds gifts and grants amount not unto 630000 l. and whether this sum would not have satisfied all the English interest of Ireland, and have settled the Protestants and well meriting Natives of that Kingdom in peace; whereas now His Majesty and all Christendom is troubled with their clamours against the breach of public Faith; and all this stir, destruction of the people, and discredit of the Government, to humour one particular man, whose merit is not so extraordinary, as his management hath been unsuccesseful?  
18. Whether not only some of the Nobility of Ireland, but very many of the Nobility, Knights and Gentry of England have not lost greater revenues, and richer movables for being Cavaliers, then the Duke of Ormond, whose Estate was much encumbered, and his rents before the rebellion exceeding not 7000 l. per annum, and during the war, got more by his Government of Ireland, and giving up Dublin, then he could if he were in possession of his Estate?  
19.
