“This proclamation is to inform all in this country that the present meeting and assembly of the Irish is in no way intended against the King, or to hurt any of his subjects either of the English or the Scottish nation; but only for the defence and liberty of ourselves and of the natives of the Irish nation.
We order all people at once to return to their homes, under pain of death, and promise that any hurt done to any person or persons shall be at once repaired.”
