NOt without cause ( saith the Oracle of truth ) doth the Minister of God carry the sword : Rom. 13. 3.4 . for he is to punish him , that doth evill , and remunerate him that doth good . Hence it is , that ●ve have by our former decrees declared to the world , our sense and just indignation against the late Peace concluded and published at Dublin , not onely in its owne nature bringing prejudice and destruction on Religion and kingdome , but being also contrary to the Oath of Association ; and withall against the Contrivers of , and adherents to the said Peace . In pursuance of which decrees being forced to unsheath the spirituall sword , we ( to whom God , Matth. 16.19 . ibid. 18.18 . hath given power to binde and loose on Earth ) assembled together in the Holy Ghost , tracing herein the steps , and imitating the Examples of many venerable and holy Prelates , who have gone before us , and taking for our authoritie , Io. 20.23 . the sacred Canons of holy Church , grounded on holy Writ , ut tollantur● medio nostrûm , qui hoe opus faciunt , doe , 1. Cor. 5.2 . cum virtute domini nostri Iesu , deliver over such persons to Sathan ; that is to say , 1. Cor. 5.5 . we excommunirate , execrate and anathematice all such , as after publication of this our decree and notice , either privately or publiquely given them hereof , shall , defend , adhere or approve the justice of the said peace ; and chiefely those , who shall heare armes , or make or joyne in warre with , for , or in the behalfe of the Puritans , or other hereticks of Dublin , Corke , Yoghell , or of other places within this kingdome ; or shall , ( either by themselves , or their appointment ) bring , send , or give any aid , succour , or reliefe of victualls , ammunition or other provision unto them , or by advise or otherwise advance the said Peace , or the warre made against us . Those and every of them by this present decree wee doe declare and pronounce excommunicated IPSO FACTO , ut non circumveniamur a Satanâa ; non enim ignoramus cogitationes eius . 2. Cor. 2.11 .

Dated at Kilkenny in the Pallace of our Residence , the 5. day of October , 1646. Ioannes Baptista Archiepiscopus Firmanus Nuncius Apostolicus .
