Ireland -- History -- 17th century
[208] A catalogue of the Acts of this Parliament, numbered from 1 to
35, was published in London with an 'Exact List of the Lords, &c.,'
licensed November 13, 1689. The text of many of them is in a _List of
Such of the Names_, &c., licensed March 26, 1690. The Act of Attainder
is in an '_Account of the Transactions_ of the late King James in
Ireland', licensed July 7, 1690.
[209] James's speech to both Houses, published by his order, May 10,
and the Parliament's address in reply are in the appendix to Leslie's
Answer to King. The latter document has no allusion to the King's
pronouncement about the Act of Settlement. A French version of the
speech was sent by Avaux to Louis XIV. on May 8/18.
[210] Keating's address (early in May 1689) is in King's appendix no.
22 and in other places. Avaux to Louis XIV., May 26/June 5, 1689.
King James to Clarendon, April 6, 1686, in _Clarendon and Rochester
Corres._, vol. i. Clarendon to Rochester and to the King, April 17:
'Your Majesty's often gracious professions that the Acts of Settlement
shall not be touched, does extremely quiet the minds of men,' _ib._
Sunderland to Clarendon, June 14, _ib._ Writing to Rochester on October
12, Clarendon says: 'In almost every letter I have had the honour to
receive from the King he has declared the Acts of Settlement must not
be touched, and that he will support the English interest,' _ib._
vol. ii. After this date he began to see more clearly, and on January
4 received a copy of the Coventry letter, which left no doubt as to
Tyrconnel's plans, _ib._ ii. 142.
[211] Avaux to Louis XIV., May 26/June 5, 1689. _Journal of the
Proceedings_ of the Parliament in Ireland from May 7 to June 11, and
a letter appended carrying the narrative nearly to the end of July,
London, licensed July 6, 1689. The journal and letter are reprinted
in _Somers Tracts_ as if they had been published separately. There is
also a journal by another hand ending May 20, _Somers Tracts_, xi. 426.
Bishop Dopping's speech, June 4, is in King, appx. no. 23. _A True
Account of the Present State of Ireland_, by a person that with great
difficulty left Dublin, June 8, 1689.
[212] The Act of Repeal is in a _List of Names_, &c., licensed March
