<P>_THe Calamity on the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> and Prote&s;tants in <HI>Ireland</HI> is great, and the mi&s;chiefes, that the Rebells have done, are many, and &s;o much the more ought to bee &s;everely executed by rea&s;on of a Proclamation, which the Rebells have put out. Commanding all tho&s;e, that are ei|ther

<HI>Engli&s;h,</HI> or Prote&s;tants, to bee gone away immediately after the publi&s;hing thereof; or otherwi&s;e to take what puni&s;h|ment the Rebells &s;hall inflict upon them; and that they doe execute with all cruelty, by cutting off the heads of all tho&s;e that remaine, and by burning their Villages, and putting both Man, woman and Child, to the &s;word.</P>

THat the &s;tocke, which &s;hould mannage the &s;ame, would be too great to venture in the Subiects hands, and bee a meanes to make them too peremptorie again&s;t their Prince, if any difference &s;hould ari&s;e between them.</P>

IT cannot bee too great a &s;tocke becau&s;e &s;hipping can never bee too great, and now more e&s;pecially, becau&s;e the defence of the Kingdome lies upon the &s;ame.</P>
<P><LABEL>An&s;wer the &s;econd.</LABEL><LB>
The power of <HI>Spayne</HI> was never &s;o much weakened as now it is, for every Prince pluckes a feather from it; As <HI>Portugall, France,</HI> and the <HI>Low-Countries:</HI> therefore <HI>England</HI> would be very improvident, if it did not &s;hare amon&s;t them.</P>
