The true Copy of a Letter written from A Gentleman in Ireland, to his friend in England.  
Sir,  
I Can not omit to write unto you, to give you to understand of a miraculous deliverance, which the Lord in mercy hath vouchsafed unto the poor Protestants in this Kingdom, which you may perceive by the Proclamation enclosed; for I have not time to relate the whole story, or bloody tragedy, which was intended against us: The execution should have been on the Saturday, which was discovered on Friday night, by a man of Sir john Clotworthy an Irish Knight, but one of your house of Commons, and this day being the Sabbath, hath been the troublesomest day that ever I saw all my days, mixed with joy and sorrow; joy for our gracious deliverance, and much perplexed by fears of our approaching enemies, expecting every hour when the City should be surprised, that for my part and many others, have had but little rest day and night for these two days past, but how many more it is only known to God, the 〈…〉 in the North parts of this Kingdom, taken two Lords Castles, and two Towns, one of them of great strength and much munition in it, and as it is verily believed, they do still increase in great multitudes: here is taken a Lord and divers others of note, and others the number of forty which are safe in prison and hope of many more: the Lord is called the Lord Maguere, and the Papists make it a Religious war which they had no cause to do, for they have had a long time as much liberty as we have had, if not more; but their father the Devil hath set them upon this damnable act I hope to their utter ruin in this Kingdom, if the Lord in mercy open our King's eyes and your Parliaments hearts to take pity upon us, for no hope of reformation is to be had here, for they are ten for one of us through this Kingdom as is verily believed. I have been so employed day and night these two days, that I can hardly write thus much unto you, but desire your prayers and all good people to God and your Parliament for us, & when more is discovered, if the Lord preserve me with life, you shall hear farther from me, in the mean time pray for us all.  
Your loving friend W.B.   

A Proclamation, By the Lords justices and Council.

THese are to make known and publish 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 in the Kingdom: And seeing by the great goodness and abundant mercy of Almighty God to His Majesty and this State and kingdom those 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 on●y 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 Occurrents 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 services of the Crown and Kingdom which We will value to His Majesty accordingly and a special memory thereof w●ll 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 nor any men suffered to march upon any such pretence.  
Given at His Majesty's Castle of Dublin. 23. October. 1641.
