		Called the Confederate Catholics, they had set up a provisional government, and when the nuncio reached Kilkenny they were engaged in negotiating for peace with the lord lieutenant, the marquess, afterwards duke, of Ormonde.
		Rinuccini took part in the proceedings, but as his demands were ignored he refused to recognize the peace which was concluded in March 1646, and gaining the support of the Irish general, Owen Roe O'Neill, he used all his influence, both ecclesiastical and political., to prevent its acceptance by others.
		The nuncio's most pliant helper was now Edward Somerset, earl of Glamorgan, afterwards marquess of Worcester, who had been sent to Ireland by Charles I., and who had entered into communication with Rinuccini when the latter first arrived in that country.

	GENUKI: 'Tuning' the Welsh bench, 1680
		The greatest concentration of dismissals, despite the earlier winnowing, was still in Worcester's own privy domain; five in Glamorgan, four each in Monmouthshire and Brecknockshire; but the heaviest quota in any single county was Montgomeryshire's six.
		In the light of this revelation it is not difficult to guess how he first fell foul of Worcester; but the breach had been healed by the time of the landing of William of Orange in 1688, when Mostyn offered the President to raise forces in North Wales to oppose him.
		Worcester's animus against him can best be accounted for by his opposition to the 'purge' of 1678.

		We have thus, from 1615 to 1653, shown, what sources were open to afford suggestions to the Marquis of Worcester's wakeful and watchful mind, alive and on the alert to seize on every hint promising some enlarged and useful application.
		But whatever he may have known on the subject of these applications of steam, however much he may have experimented on them, there are two things, of which no one has yet given him the credit of possessing any knoldege whatever, the one is, condensation; the other, a piston.
		How the Marquis of Worcester could have been experimenting at the cost of £50,000, aud upwards, at Vauxhall, and been occupied in this particular class of experiments during a large portion of thirty-eight years, in perfect ignorance that cold water will condense steam, is past all comprehension.

		The earl, now marquess, of Newcastle, who had associated the northern counties in favour of the king, had defeated the lord Fairfax, the parliamentary general, at Atherton Moor, in Yorkshire, and retaken Gainsborough, in Lincolnshire, from the army under Cromwell.
