Note 24 — Chapter XXII · THE WAR TO THE BATTLE OF ROSS, 1642-1643

Letters from the Supreme Council to foreign powers, November and December 1642, Confederation and War, ii. 99-129. The oath of association of the Confederates, ib. 210; also in Cox, appx. xiv. and (omitting the last paragraph) in Walsh’s Remonstrance, appx. i. p. 31. The latter, dated July 26, 1644, is evidently not the earliest form. In Vindiciæ Catholicorum Hiberniæ, Paris, 1650, p. 6, is a much shorter Latin oath, which places the Church first, the King second, and the national liberties third, but is called ‘associationis juramentum,’ like the others.
