Note 178 — Chapter XXXII · CROMWELL IN IRELAND, 1650

Broghill’s letter of April 16; Letter among the Clarendon MSS., July 6, o. s., endorsed by Hyde as from ‘J. Barn.’ (perhaps Barnewall).; Carte’s Life of Ormonde, ii.; Gardiner’s Commonwealth, i. 153, 168. It is remarkable that in Hill’s Macdonnells of Antrim nothing is said about the alleged forgery, though the writer can hardly have been ignorant of Carte’s statement. Cromwell’s articles granted to the Protestants, dated April 26, are printed in Contemp. Hist. ii. 393, where the other letters may be found, pp. 401-408, 410, and 411, and see Supplement 58 to Carlyle.
