<P>_NOtwit&s;tanding the great Clemency extended by Their Maje&s;ties to the Popi&s;h <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Inhabitants of this King|dom whereby, upon their &s;ubmi&s;sion, they have had equal Protection with Their <HI>Britti&s;h</HI> &amp; Prote&s;tant Subjects, yet &s;uch is the implacable &amp; inveterate Malice of many of the &s;aid Popi&s;h <HI>Iri&s;h,</HI> that upon all Occa&s;ions they not on|ly relieve Their Maje&s;ties Enemies, but joyn with them in the committing and concealing many horrid Murders, by them daily perpetrated, one of which, of eight Sol|diers of Their Maje&s;ties Army inhumanly &s;trangled, and at one time, and in one place, hath (by Gods Provi|dence) been lately di&s;covered, near this City to be committed by the Inhabitants of the place, where the &s;aid Soldiers were Quartered, for which &s;ome of the Criminals have received ju&s;t and de&s;erved Puni&s;hment: We being fully &s;atisfied, that &s;uch Offences cannot be committed in the open and well Planted Counties of this King|dom, without the Contrivance and help, or at lea&s;t Connivance of the Protected In|habitants. And having received full Information, that there is a Confederacy a|mong&s;t many of the &s;aid Protected Popi&s;h <HI>Iri&s;h,</HI> to give all aid and relief in their pow|er to Their Maje&s;ties Enemies upon all occa&s;ions, and to take all Opportunities to de&s;troy the Officers and Soldiers of Their Maje&s;ties Army, and other Their good Subjects. Being re&s;olved as much as in us lieth to prevent &s;uch their Cruell and Malitious De&s;igns, and to puni&s;h with all nece&s;&s;ary Severity tho&s;e who &s;hall be Guilty or ju&s;tly &s;u&s;pected for the &s;ame. We think fit hereby to publi&s;h and declare, that if any &s;uch Murder &s;hall hereafter be committed in any place within Their Maje&s;ties Quarters, if the Popi&s;h <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Inhabitants of that Neighbourhood &s;hall not u&s;e their utmo&s;t diligence, to apprehend the Malefactors, and immediately di&s;co|ver all they know of &s;uch Fact to &s;ome Magi&s;trate living near the Place where the &s;aid Offence &s;hall happen, &s;o that the &s;aid Offenders may be apprehended and brought to Puni&s;hment; That then the &s;aid Popi&s;h <HI>Iri&s;h</HI> Inhabitants of the Pari&s;h where the &s;aid Murder &s;hall be committed, &s;hall immediately be put out of Their Maje|&s;ties Protection, and Orders &s;hall thereupon be given, that they be proceeded again&s;t by Their Maje&s;ties Army, as Spyes and Enemies, according to the Cour&s;e of War.</P>
