And also an Oath to discharge those places with that sincerity to the publicke , and obedience to the Government , as became a person so highly intrusted . Neverthelesse the said Owen O Neill , in breach of the said trust , having proposed unto himselfe by the force of the Army under his command , to destroy the present , and to introduce a new and Tyrannicall Government over the Lives , Estates and Liberties of his Maiesties faithfull Subiects , and to alienate them from their loyalty to the Crowne of England , hath without warrant or authority contrary to the Lawes of the Land , and the establishments of all Assemblyes of the Confederate Catholicks made and appointed commanders in chiefe , severall Lieutenant Generalls , Colonells , and other inferiour commanders throughout the Kingdome , to raise Horse and Foote ; gathered and assembled together , all such as hee thought inclined to his wayes of destruction , to whom for their better encouragement hee gave them libertie of plunder , and pillage , who did accordingly , actually pillage , plunder , and rob his Maiesties Subiects in the Provinces of Leinster , Mounster , and Connaght , and possessed himselfe and his party , of their Castles and Holts as by woefull experience these five years past , the inhabitants of the said Provinces have found . And in pursuance of his wicked , and trayterous designes , and to the end to bring the same to a full period , being thereunto encouraged through the want of due and timely punishment for his past offences and high misdemeanors , hath this present yeare shaked off , all manner of obedience to the Government established among the Confederate Catholicks ; ioyned with Colonell Jones , a Parliamentary , and adverse to his Maiesty , and the said Confederate Catholicks ; And in an hostile and rebellious manner marched with his said Army , killing , burning , pillaging , plundering & destroying his Maiesties faithfull Subiects , besiged and tooke by force of Armes divers of his Maiesties Castles , Forts , and strong holts , committed and perpetrated all other Acts of hostility and treason . And notwithstanding that all wayes , and meanes possible tending to the safety and quiet of the Kingdome , have been used by the Supreme Councell entrusted with the Goverment for the reducing and reclaiming of the said Owen O Neill , and his complices from those his wicked , mallicious , and trayterous Acts . Yet so farre was hee fixed upon those his resolutions , as hee would not admit any addresse to bee made unto him , as by burning of the Councells letters sent to him and others the said Commanders of his Army , and menaces to hang the messenger if he had come with any more messages to that purpose , and other proofes appeareth , much lesse give care or agree to any manner of accommodation , other then such as must of necessity prove destructive to Religion , King , and Countrey , as by an exact accompt given to this Assembly by the Supreme Councell of their proceedings , and by the severall other proofes & testimonies , otherwise knowne to this Assembly plainely and manifestly appeareth . Wherefore it is this day ordered , Decreed adiudged & established by the said Assembly , that the said Owen O Neill is hereby , and shall be from henceforth declared a Traytor , and Rebell , against our Soveraigne Lord the King , the Fundamentall Lawes of the Land , and a common disturber of the peace , tranquillity , and quiet of this Kingdome , and a manifest opposer of the established Government of the Confederate Catholicks , contrary to his said oath . And the said Assembly doth hereby strictly charge and command , all Generalls and Governors of Provinces , Magistrats , High-Sheriffs , Governors of Garrisons or Forts , Holts , and Castles Commanders , and all other officers Civill and Martiall , and all other his Maiesties faithfull Subiects aswell within liberties , and Corporat Townes , as without under the command of the Confederate Catholicks , to proceede against and destroy the said Owen O Neill , as an Enemy , and Traytor , on paine of being proceeded with themselves in case of their wilfull neglect herein as culpable of the said Treasons & capitall offences aforesaid . Given ●t Kilkenny , the thirtieth day of September , Anno Domini one thousand six hundred fourty and eight and in the foure ●●d twentieth yeare of the Raigne of our Soveraigne Lord CHARLES , by the grace of GOD , King of Eng●●●● , Ireland 〈…〉 and Scotland , &c.
