Shocked in Ireland

Fri 14 Aug 1747. I procured a genuine account of the great Irish massacre in 1641. Surely never was there such a transaction before from the beginning of the world! More than two hundred thousand men, women, and children butchered within a few months in cool blood, and with such circumstances of cruelty as make one’s blood run cold! ’Tis well if God has not a controversy with that nation, on this very account, to this day.
