But Friends and their property were wonderfully preserved. From thence we passed to Enniscorthy, through a desolated country, the towns and villages mostly burned. When we arrived we were presented with a view of all the horrors of war ; the houses had been set on fire the day before, the inhabitants mostly having fled, and those who remained were without the common necessaries of life. On our arrival at Ennis- corthy, we were met by a number of officers, who inquired from whence we came, and a...fter being in^ formed from Dublin, they asked what we came for ; we rephed, to attend our quarterly meeting. They queried how we expected to hold it, when the town the day before was in possession of the rebels. Our reply was that we believed way w^ould be opened, at which they appeared satisfied. We then sought after our friends, as some of them had remained during the siege, this town having been in possession of the insurgents four weeks. I shall not attempt to describe all their sufferings, but just remark on some of their closest trials, one of which was the frequent, solicitation to change their religion, and embrace the tenets of the Romish church, being told " There must be but one religion in Ireland," (that is, the Papist.) And I was informed by many Friends that many Protestants did suffer death, and others turned to save their lives.
