[C] This statement agrees pretty nearly with that occurring at page
160, and in “The Earl of Glamorgan’s instructions to me, to be
presented to your Majesty,” signed by Edward Bosden, 21st of March,
1644, viz.:--
“That, God willing, by the end of May or beginning of June, he
will land with 6000 Irish, &c. &c.
“That to advance these his undertakings, he hath £30,000 ready,
10,000 muskets, 2000 case of pistols, 800 barrels of powder,
besides his own artillery; and is ascertained of £30,000 more,
which will be ready upon his return.” See the “King’s Cabinet

[I] The autograph of _Glamorgan_ is said by Dr. Lingard to have
attested a _copy_ of his Warrant of 12th January, 1644; possibly
the one originally handed by him to the Marquis of Ormond. It is
not, however, among his papers at St. Cuthbert’s College, Durham.
