A True Copy of a Letter written from a man 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 untended against us: The execution should have been on the Saturday, which was discovered on Friday night, by a man of Sir john Glatworthy, 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 in all my days, mixed with joy and sorrow; joy for our 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, but how many more it is only known to God; the Enemy hath 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 a● 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 for us, and 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.
