frame a fair narrative out of these conflicting materials. It seems
clear to me, from Rochester's own papers that he was on this occasion
by no means so stubborn as he has been represented by Burnet and by the
biographer of James.]

[Footnote 202: Bishop Malony in a letter to Bishop Tyrrel says, "Never a
Catholic or other English will ever think or make a step, nor suffer
the King to make a step for your restauration, but leave you as you
were hitherto, and leave your enemies over your heads: nor is there any
Englishman, Catholic or other, of what quality or degree soever alive,
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."]
