THese
are
to
certefie
that
the
Bearers
hereof
Andrew
Dalton
Gentleman
with
his
wife
,
sister
,
and
children
,
by
meanes
of
the
late
horrid
rebellion
in
Ireland
were
deprived
of
a
full
estate
in
the
County
of
Waterford
,
and
Province
of
Munster
to
the
value
of
200l
per
annum
,
besides
their
personall
estates
,
amounting
to
the
value
of
900l
and
upward
,
as
is
well
knowne
by
the
attestation
of
many
Honourable
personages
and
Gentlemen
of
qualitie
,
through
which
disasters
they
are
brought
by
the
providence
of
God
to
utter
misery
,
no
way
able
to
subsist
,
having
a
great
charge
of
children
in
a
miserable
condition
.
But
petitioning
to
the
late
Parliament
for
redresse
could
yet
procure
little
or
no
reliefe
.
In
tender
consideration
whereof
,
we
whose
names
are
subscribed
do
request
the
Venerable
Clergie
to
publish
this
their
sad
condition
to

respective
Congregations

and
to
animate
the
hearts
of
their
people
(
under
God
)
to
this
most
pious
worke
,
verily
beleiving
that
they
are
fit
objects
of
a
generall
compassion
.

also
desire
the
assistance
of
all
Constables
,
Church
wardens

and
other
Officers
whatsoever

travell
and
repose
to
people
of
their
ranke
and
qualitie
,
allowing
them
competent
lodging
in
due
time
to
avoid
the
danger
of
the
law
,
desiring
all
Officers
now
under
,
his
Highnesse
the
Lord
Protector
to
suffer
them
to
passe
without
molestation
,
and
so

to
Ireland
