Officers back from Spain expect to be broke, decrying Ormonde and Oxford as her two evil counsellors. They fear repeal of Triennial act. Boast they can raise men by militia officers' commissions, a practice used before in England to raise men against king by his commissions [i.e. in 1642]. Dated in Dublin. ff. 203-206
