When Glamorgan reached Dublin about the beginning of August, he found no peace signed and no army ready to embark. As Charles's necessities grew, so did the demands of the Irish bishops, and the King's orders to conceal his powers prevented Ormonde from saying at once what was the furthest point to which he could go. Glamorgan was present at some of the meetings between the Lord Lieutenant and the Confederate commissioners, and he then went to Kilkenny. Ormonde told his brother-in-law Muskerry, who went there also, that the news of Naseby had made the conclusion of peace more needful than ever. He urged him to help Glamorgan, but at the same time acknowledged his independence, and to some extent deprecated the idea that he was acting in concert with him. 'I know,' he wrote, 'no subject in England upon whose favour and authority with his Majesty, and real and innate nobility you can better rely than upon his lordship's.' Muskerry, who was anxious to come to terms with the King, no doubt made full use of this testimonial, and so Glamorgan, relying entirely on his commission of March 12, proceeded to 'engage his Majesty's royal and public faith' for the due performance of the articles known as 'the first Glamorgan treaty.' Ormonde was no party to them in fact or in name. 'Free and public use and exercise of the Roman Catholic religion' was granted to all without exception. All churches possessed by the Roman Catholics at any time since October 23, 1641, were granted to them, 'and all other churches in Ireland other than such as are now actually enjoyed by his Majesty's Protestant subjects.' All jurisdiction of the Protestant clergy over Roman Catholics was taken away, and an Act of Parliament was promised to abrogate the penalties for breaches of the Acts of supremacy and uniformity. Glamorgan also promised 'on behalf of his Majesty,' confirmation to the Roman Catholic clergy of all temporalities possessed by them at any time since the fatal October 23, two-thirds of the profits for three years or during the continuance of the war being applicable to the royal service and one-third to the support of the clergy. Glamorgan afterwards explained that he intended the immediate wants of the Protestant clergy to be provided for out of the two-thirds reserved to the King. That any English Protestants at that time were willing to grant unlimited toleration may well be doubted, but it is certain that there were none ready to confirm everything that had been done against their own clergy since the rebellion began. The consideration offered by the Confederates was 10,000 men, armed one half with muskets and one half with pikes, to be shipped by Glamorgan to any port he might choose. These troops were to be kept together in one entire body under the Earl's leadership, all other officers being appointed by the General Assembly or Supreme Council. Ten days later Glamorgan solemnly swore to tell the King
