Reflections.

If the late Circumstances wherein King James was in Ireland, was so favourable an opportunity to Re-establish the Roman-Catholick Religion in that Kingdom, as the Memorial affirms, Then much more was the Circumstances he was in here in England, some two years ago, a favourable Opportunity to Re-establish the Romish-Catholick Religion in this Kingdom. In Ireland King James’s Power was only confined to that Island, and he was destitute of the Support and Assistance of the Two other Kingdoms that had been once His. He had, when in Ireland, a powerful Prince possest of these two other Kingdoms, and of a part of Ireland it self, who was ready to beat him out of the rest, at the Head of a brave well-disciplin’d Army, while King James had no reason to hope any great things from His, made up of Cowardly Ill-disciplin’d, and as ill-pay’d Irishes. King James’s Circumstances were far better two years ago, being Master of Three Kingdoms, and of a brave and numerous Army, and no body to oppose him. So that if his Will was the same as to the Re-establishment of the Romish Religion, (as no body doubts but it was) Then his Power was much greater two years ago, when in England, than two or three months ago when in Ireland, at the time of presenting him this Memorial. Thus that Unfortunate, Misguided Prince was in all his Conduct wise too late, though to the great happiness of these Three Kingdoms, as the Event has prov’d.
