Bishop of Killaloe to Ormond
Written from: Killaloe

Shelfmark: MS. Carte 31, fol(s). 612
Document type: Holograph
Upon the writer's return from Dublin, he found a general discontent in this country, occasioned by many false & scandalous reports, ... the seminary of which being Ormond (in the writer's diocese), he thought it his duty to enquire after the seedsmen. ...To that end, he called a meeting of the Justices of the Peace. ... Some appear to be poor and ignorant men, misled by inquisitiveness, credulity, & vanity: but, amongst others, is W Hutchinson, the arch-anabaptist in these parts, for whose apprehension a warrant is issued. As yet, he conceals himself. ... Some others are bound over, to the next quarter sessions.

Shelfmark: MS. Carte 47, fol(s). 3-4
Document type: Holograph
Since the writer's last letter, he has the Duke's of the 16th, which seemed a very cheerful letter. ... The very severe expectation of the 'Act of Uniformity' which is resolved on may ... add more fuel to the matter that was before combustible enough. "But we are in, and must now proceed with steadyness, and so must you: and I wish I were as confident that we shall do so, or that you will."
"My Lord Ossory writes to me of money to be paid to me and also my opinion & direction for purchasing a great deal of land, at a very vile price; and all this as if he spake to a man who understands him ... which I am sure cannot be without your knowledge, and if you know it, why should not I? It is a pleasant thing to go to bed a beggar & wake a rich man. I pray tell me what the intrigue is, and what I am to do; for to me, all this is a dream."

The concernment in which his Grace was pleased to write to Sir Philip Warwick (in Sir G.

A change has come over the minds of the leaders at the Papal Court; occasioned in part by the apparent breaking of the Pope's health; in part, by news of popular commotion at Avignon. Concessionary proposals have now been made to the French Ambassador with a view to ward off possible reprisals on the private interests of the Pope's family, in the event of his death. In the riot at Avignon, the papal insignia were torn from the City gates and hall, amidst cries of "Long live the King".

Particulars - given in answer to inquiries brought to the writer by Sir Philip Warwick - of the deficiency of the Revenue. When his Grace left England, "all of the £1,200,000 [was] assigned away; [and] a fleet then expected to return, which required about £200,000, which hath cost us as much since. And, therefore, though we were to receive £320,000 (which is all the Dunkirk money comes, in clear, unto) yet our occasions exceed it. ... Out of the Dunkirk money, hath already been paid, or rather this is security for, monies borrowed: for Navy £80,000; Household, £36,000; Arrears at Dunkirk, £20,000; Mint, £1,000; King's servants £20,000; Tangier, £15,000; Guards, £30,000; Total £206,000 [so in MS.; the several items amount, it will be seen, but to £202,000]. ...
