PENN, WILLIAM
The oaths of Irish Papists no evidence against Protestants: Or,
a warning piece to jurors - London: 1681. Caption-titled 4to. pp.
12. A very good copy in modern quarter calf. Wing P 1333. As
supporting evidence for his thesis Penn writes: “But as theyhad
treason enough to forfeit their estates, so they had liberty of
conscience enough to save them to this very point of perjury. For
the price of an Irish Papist’s oath was, as generally known at the
Court of Claims, as that of all sins is at The Court of Rome: And
the multitude of persons in that Kingdom that enjoy their estates.
tho’ actually concerned in that horrid rebellion, is a sufficient evi-
dence of the truth hereof.” Sweeney 3375.
