38 James the Second told Clarendon "that the great contention here was more between English and Irish than between Catholic and Protestant: which (adds Clarendon) certainly was a true notion." Clarendon to Rochester, March 14th, 1686.
"Never a Catholic or other English will ever think or make a step, nor suffer the King to make a step for your Restoration; nor is there any Englishman, Catholic or other, of what quality or degree soever, that will stick to sacrifice all Ireland for to save the least interest of his own in England, and would as willingly see all Ireland over inhabited by English, of whatsoever religion, as by the Irish." Letter of Bishop Malony (King, Appendix).
