Description

Folios 100-101. Ja [James] Vernon reporting to Ambassador [Joseph] Williamson [Nine Years' War]. Two mails are now being due, and they expect that the difficulties are now over so that they may proceed to proclaim the peace. There is little to be expected from Ireland during the time of their recess. Two bills were passed, one being against old dormant judgments; the other was the Bill of Association which they had complicated with another bill for abrogating the former oaths and substituting others. The bill now remains upon the model of the Association Act, except that the penalty of praemunire to be inflicted upon the refusers is still continued, instead of that of being deemed 'papists convict'. The Marquess of Antrim [?Alexander MacDonnell] and several others petitioned for provisoes against this praemunire clause. It was granted that they should have the benefit of the Articles of Limerick (as agrreed in 1691) as far as they were entitled to them, but the same was refused to the Galway men.
