Mark Levene points out that "[o]nly three years before in 1646 Sir William Temple a distinguished parliamentary lawyer had published a semi-official account of the 1641 rebellion, apparently sober and factual, full of grisly detail, setting total Protestant casualties at the appalling figure of three hundred thousand" (Clifton 1999, p. 120) and so he infers that revenge played its part in the massacre and that "barbarous wretches" was an allusion to the rebels of 1641.
