If the late Circumstances wherein King _James_ was in _Ireland_, was so favourable an opportunity to Re-establish the Roman-Catholick Religion in that Kingdom, as the _Memorial_ affirms, Then much more was the Circumstances he was in here in _England_, some two years ago, a favourable Opportunity to Re-establish the Romish-Catholick Religion in this Kingdom. In _Ireland_ King _James_’s Power was only confined to that Island, and he was destitute of the Support and Assistance of the Two other Kingdoms that had been once _His_. He had, when in _Ireland_, a powerful Prince possest of these two other Kingdoms, and of a part of _Ireland_ it self, who was ready to beat him out of the rest, at the Head of a brave well-disciplin’d Army, while King _James_ had no reason to hope any great things from His, made up of Cowardly Ill-disciplin’d, and as ill-pay’d _Irishes_. King _James_’s Circumstances were far better two years ago, being Master of Three Kingdoms, and of a brave and numerous Army, and no body to oppose him. So that if his _Will was the same_ as to the Re-establishment of the Romish Religion, (as no body doubts but it was) _Then his Power was much greater two years ago, when in ~England~, than two or three months ago when in ~Ireland~, at the time of presenting him this Memorial_. Thus that Unfortunate, Misguided Prince was in all his Conduct _wise too late_, though to the great happiness of these Three Kingdoms, as the Event has prov’d. MEMORIAL. We must confess, that such an Intire Establishment of the Roman-Catholick Clergy in ~England~, would perhaps prove very difficult, and provoke the Indignation of the Protestants in a high measure, because it is contrary to the Persuasion generally held by the People there, who though never so different amongst themselves in their Tenets, yet agree together in bearing so implacable an aversion to the Roman-Catholick Religion and Clergy, that it is not to be expected they would ever concur in their Parliaments thereunto: But the Case is quite otherways in this Your Majesty’s Kingdom of ~Ireland~; for the People here being generally Roman-Catholicks, incomparably exceeding in number all Sectaries and Protestants, covet nothing more, than to have their own Roman-Catholick Clergy Re-established amongst them in those Churches and Livings that the Piety and Devotion of their Ancestors, time out of mind, conferr’d upon them for the Service and Honour of God, and for their decent Subsistence; and restor’d to the full Exercise of their Spiritual Jurisdiction, and enjoyment of their Privileges.
