THE
HISTORIE
OF
THE
EARLE
of
Tirone
.
I
Will
here
desist
from
any
dilations
of
Irish
businesse
of
old
,
or
mention
of
the
great
Oneale
,
who
,
as
they
say
,
before
the
comming
of
Saint
Patrick
possessed
Vlster
,
and
most
parts
of
Ireland
,
shining
as
the
Sunne
of
the
same
,
vntill
the
conquest
from
England
obscured
his
light
,
and
taught
his
barbarous
immanity
another
manner
of
obedience
,
and
lesson
of
submission
to
a
greater
Maiesty
,
by
which
occasion
this
ambitious
family
was
in
a
manner
suppressed
,
and
lost
that
seeming
lustre
,
where
with
it
graced
the
North
of
Ireland
,
yea
the
whole
Iland
,
lying
close
to
the
shore
,
and
not
daring
once
to
launch
forth
into
the
Ocean
of
turbulent
dissention
,
or
refractary
contesting
with
England
,
vntill
Edward
de
Bruse
of
Scotland
proclaymed
himselfe
King
of
Ireland
.
Then
Douenaldus
Oneale
impatient
of
such
indignity
,
launched
forth
by
degrees
into
the
Channell
of
a
new
disturbance
,
and
held
vp
his
head
,
as
presuming
on
his
owne
Greatnesse
equall
to
Bruses
,
and
so
in
his
letters
and
submission
to
the
Pope
,
accustomed
the
titles
of
heire
of
Ireland
,
King
of
Vlster
,
and
one
of
the
sonnes
of
the
mother
Church
:
But
that
trouble
appeased
,
these
new
Kings
were
separated
,
and
their
vnited
Greatnesse
euen
in
their
posterity
disioynted
,
vntill
againe
,
that
implacable
contention
betweene
the
two
Families
of
Yorke
and
Lancaster
,
not
onely
deformed
the
prosperity
of
England
,
but
according
to
the
preuailing
of
factious
Greatnesse
,
sent
ouer
diuers
Gouernours
,
their
particeans
into
Ireland
,
who
still
temporizing
with
the
strongest
party
,
and
contriuing
for
their
priuate
,
lest
the
generall
cause
at
randome
,
and
were
indeed
vnable
to
redact
to
any
vniformity
of
gouernement
the
disparity
of
Irish
obedience
,
and
so
gaue
way
vnto
this
ambitious
,
insulting
,
and
rude
people
to
hold
vp
their
heads
,
and
aduance
themselues
,
as
high
as
their
owne
titles
,
the
law
Tanist
,
and
liberty
of
nature
could
dignifie
them
.
Wherevpon
Harry
Oneale
the
son
of
Oenus
or
Eugenius
,
matched
himselfe
with
the
daughter
of
Th.
Earle
of
Kildare
,
&
his
son
Con
More
,
or
great
Con
,
married
the
daughter
of
Gerald
Earle
of
Kildare
,
his
owne
mothers
Neece
,
whereby
vnited
to
the
flourishing
colours
of
the
Geraldines
,
which
many
yeeres
had
beene
displayed
in
Ireland
,
and
swelled
with
the
fulnesse
of
a
most
vberant
family
,
they
beganne
(
besides
a
strange
elation
of
their
spirits
)
with
a
tyrannous
suppression
of
their
own
Nation
,
and
this
Con
More
despised
all
titles
of
either
Prince
▪
Duke
,
Marquesse
or
Earle
in
respect
of
the
name
of
Oneale
:
To
this
Con
succeeded
another
Con
,
surnamed
Banco
,
or
Lance
,
whose
inueterate
hate
against
the
English
was
such
,
that
hee
cursed
his
posterity
if
either
they
learned
the
language
,
sowed
any
wheate
,
or
builded
houses
:
This
mans
greatnesse
bred
him
enuy
in
the
Court
of
England
,
&
according
to
the
misery
of
all
times
,
there
wanted
not
priuate
whisperers
,
yea
flatterers
of
Princes
,
by
whose
suggestion
that
famous
King
Henry
the
eight
was
iealous
of
his
power
,
especially
when
it
was
corroborated
by
that
factious
house
of
Kildare
,
whose
story
alone
is
of
worthy
memory
,
and
affordeth
so
many
excellent
obseruations
,
that
I
wish
them
folded
vp
,
as
it
were
in
one
carpet
,
to
be
spred
abroad
with
hansomnesse
for
our
delight
and
vnderstanding
.
But
when
the
strength
of
our
armies
,
and
fortune
of
the
warres
had
both
ouerawed
their
weaknesse
,
and
reduced
to
good
order
those
dangerous
enemies
,
bringing
them
into
the
schoole
of
correction
for
their
misdemeanors
,
and
reformation
for
their
inciuility
:
This
Con
was
compelled
to
prostrate
himselfe
before
the
Maiesty
of
England
,
and
so
disclaimnig
the
title
of
Oneale
,
by
Letters-Patents
was
created
Earle
of
Tirone
,
his
eldest
sonne
Mathew
(
though
suspected
a
Bastard
)
Baron
of
Dunganon
,
and
all
his
Family
,
as
it
were
incorporated
to
the
new
obedience
of
the
King
:
This
Mathew
vntill
the
age
of
fifteene
yeere
,
was
imputed
the
sonne
of
a
Smith
in
Dundalk
,
whose
wife
being
Oneales
Concubine
,
did
at
the
time
of
death
,
according
to
the
custome
of
Ireland
,
present
him
with
this
sonne
,
whome
Oneale
did
not
onely
receiue
with
gladnesse
,
but
accepted
him
as
his
owne
,
yea
preferred
him
before
his
other
children
to
his
titles
,
and
possessions
.
But
Iohannes
or
Shane
Oneale
,
his
sonne
by
a
lawfull
wife
,
tooke
it
in
such
indignity
,
that
making
a
strong
faction
against
his
father
,
hee
not
onely
supplanted
his
brother
Mathew
,
cutting
off
his
head
,
but
tormented
the
old
Con
with
many
vnnaturall
assaults
,
and
violent
excursions
,
depopulating
his
territories
,
killing
his
complices
,
banishing
his
auxiliaries
,
and
at
last
brought
him
with
vntimely
griefe
vnto
his
graue
,
and
all
the
country
to
bee
affrighted
with
his
tyranny
.
For
he
not
onely
stepped
forward
more
gloriously
,
then
his
other
ancestors
,
proclayming
himselfe
the
great
Oneale
,
but
with
seuerall
expeditions
contracted
the
loue
and
obseruation
of
the
other
Prouinces
,
insomuch
that
many
Rebels
both
of
Conach
,
Meths
,
and
Munster
assisted
him
in
the
prosecution
of
Mathews
children
,
amongst
whom
Brian
(
falling
into
the
hands
of
Maudonel
Totan
)
was
cruelly
murthered
:
Hugh
&
Cormach
were
vnder
English
protection
,
and
hardy
preserued
,
which
fell
out
so
crosly
against
Shanes
expectation
,
and
disastrous
to
his
rebellious
presumption
,
that
with
a
lothsome
sauagenesse
,
and
traitrous
conspiracy
he
deformed
the
beauty
of
Irelands
peace
,
and
made
hauock
in
a
strange
manner
of
her
prosperity
,
to
which
insolency
and
violent
rage
of
preuailing
,
Sir
Henry
Sidney
,
L.
Iustice
of
Ireland
,
in
the
absence
of
T.
Earle
of
Sussex
Lord
Lieutenant
made
opposition
,
and
cast
such
blocks
in
the
way
,
that
his
fury
was
somewhat
rebated
,
and
a
Cataplasme
of
restraint
applied
;
and
when
there
was
no
remedy
but
cutting
and
fearing
the
vlcerous
flesh
of
this
putrified
body
of
Rebellion
,
by
force
of
Armes
,
hee
not
onely
propulsed
the
indignity
,
lashing
the
sides
of
these
proud
Treasons
with
the
stripes
of
a
reuengefull
hand
,
but
brought
this
insulting
Lord
on
his
knees
,
and
made
him
confesse
the
superiority
of
Englands
Maiesty
.
But
first
by
way
of
expostulation
,
the
matter
was
disputed
with
this
Shane
,
how
he
durst
presume
to
cast
,
as
it
were
a
defiance
into
the
face
of
Englands
Gouernment
,
and
put
on
his
Iearean
wings
to
flie
higher
,
then
his
owne
Feathers
would
warrant
him
.
Hee
answered
very
peremptorily
,
that
hee
was
the
true
,
and
lawfull
heire
of
Con
Oneale
,
as
issuing
from
a
worthy
wife
and
of
a
noble
house
,
whereas
Mathew
was
the
Sonne
of
a
Smith
in
Dondalck
,
and
onely
foisted
in
to
ouerthrow
the
families
of
Oneale
,
which
hee
neither
would
nor
could
be
a
Pathick
vnto
,
as
for
the
Kings
Letters
patents
affording
Con
the
honor
of
a
Coronet
,
and
title
of
Earle
,
a
cunning
way
to
extenuate
his
worth
,
and
greatnesse
in
his
countrey
,
it
was
apparant
,
that
Con
had
no
interest
,
but
for
tearme
of
life
,
nor
could
without
the
consent
of
the
Lords
,
and
Dinastas
of
Vlster
,
transferre
anothers
right
into
the
Kings
hands
:
Besides
,
such
was
the
ancient
glory
of
his
Familie
,
that
the
true
heire
must
bee
certified
by
the
Oath
of
Twelue
Men
,
which
in
Mathews
case
fayled
,
and
therefore
was
the
nullity
of
them
very
conspicuous
,
and
all
such
proceedings
of
England
against
him
worthily
frustrated
,
but
concerning
himselfe
,
he
had
approbation
both
from
God
&
Man
,
as
the
lawfull
Sonne
of
a
louing
Wife
,
and
was
confirmed
by
the
law
Tanist
,
according
to
the
suffrages
of
the
people
,
and
seuerall
applauses
of
the
Families
of
Vlster
,
and
for
his
since
progression
,
hee
neuer
admitted
of
other
thought
,
then
to
maintaine
the
ancient
glory
of
his
vnmatchable
House
,
nor
vsurped
other
iurisdiction
,
then
his
Ancestors
by
many
Presidents
,
&
apparant
records
had
formerly
exercised
,
and
confirmed
without
contradiction
,
and
to
which
,
the
other
Kings
of
England
had
graciously
consented
,
and
most
indulgently
protected
them
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
,
hee
ranne
a
contrary
course
to
former
protestations
,
&
in
the
violent
race
of
rebellion
,
plunged
himself
,
to
his
vtter
extirpation
&
confusion
,
as
by
the
sequell
may
appeare
:
For
first
he
audaciously
suppressed
O
Realy
,
&
quarrelling
with
Callogh
O
Donel
,
defeated
his
complices
,
tauished
his
wife
,
imprisoned
himselfe
and
children
,
deuasted
his
Castles
,
vsurped
his
inheritance
,
and
like
the
King
of
Vlster
indeede
proceeded
with
all
imperiousnesse
,
and
malicious
insulting
ouer
his
inferiors
:
but
as
soone
as
Thomas
Earle
of
Sussex
,
Lord
Lieutenant
of
Ireland
,
prepared
our
English
forces
to
rebate
his
pride
,
and
reduce
the
other
Countries
,
hee
a
little
moderated
his
ambitious
courses
,
and
a
while
procrastinated
his
former
resolutions
,
wherein
the
perswasion
of
Gerard
Earle
of
Kildare
his
Cosin
,
whom
Queene
Mary
had
restored
,
was
so
effectuall
,
that
he
retired
into
England
,
and
in
all
suppliant
manner
abiected
himselfe
before
the
Councell
,
with
promises
and
strange
protestations
,
not
onely
of
being
a
true
subiect
,
but
an
entertayner
of
Ciuility
,
and
fashionable
order
,
both
in
life
and
habit
:
the
hope
whereof
dismissed
him
home
againe
,
and
like
a
cunning
strumpet
,
insinuating
with
the
good
opinion
of
a
new
deceiued
Friend
,
hee
beganne
reasonably
well
,
shutte
his
eares
against
the
Syren-like
temptations
of
his
Bardes
and
Rimers
,
vndertooke
to
heare
the
controuersies
of
his
people
,
releeued
the
wants
of
the
distressed
.
In
a
word
,
demeaned
himselfe
with
a
noble
kinde
of
moderation
in
Peace
,
and
when
there
was
cause
of
Warre
,
expulsed
the
Scots
of
Vlster
,
&
cut
off
the
head
of
Iames
Mac-Connell
their
captaine
,
and
principall
occasion
of
that
Innouation
.
In
these
sweete
passages
of
peace
and
quietnesse
,
hee
continued
a
while
,
and
the
poore
churle
thought
hee
beheld
a
faire
shining
Planet
in
a
perspicuous
Heauen
,
growing
proude
of
such
an
alteration
,
that
hee
now
might
complaine
of
receiued
iniuries
,
and
obtaine
redresse
for
vnsufferable
wrongs
:
But
the
better
sort
finding
him
ouer-insolent
to
indure
,
and
misdoubting
a
proiect
against
all
their
estates
and
dignities
,
complotted
to
ouerthrow
him
,
suggesting
matter
against
him
,
and
so
ordered
the
busines
,
that
Mac-Guier
Lord
of
Fermanagh
came
in
person
to
Sir
Henry
Sidney
,
by
this
time
Lord
Deputy
,
to
implore
his
assistance
,
for
the
restrayning
,
or
if
you
will
,
suppressing
this
vsurping
King
of
the
North
,
which
Shane
Oneale
tooke
so
despitefully
,
and
apprehended
with
such
indignation
,
that
drunke
with
rage
,
he
became
vnsensible
of
reason
,
&
forgetting
his
allegeance
with
all
the
former
faire
promises
of
loyaltie
,
he
prosecuted
Mac-Guier
at
his
returne
,
with
fire
and
sword
,
besieged
Armagh
,
demolished
the
Church
,
destroyed
the
buildings
,
and
came
to
Dondalk
,
with
purpose
to
ruine
the
Countrey
,
but
was
a
while
intercepted
by
a
worthy
expedition
of
Sir
Wil.
Sercefield
Maior
,
and
the
Citizens
of
Dubline
,
I
might
adde
the
power
of
the
Countrey
,
&
the
mustred
forces
of
the
English
Irish
about
Sordes
&
Tredagh
.
By
this
time
are
the
royall
arms
of
the
State
spred
abroad
,
&
the
Lord
Deputy
,
after
he
had
shipped
7.
companies
of
Foot
,
&
a
troope
of
Horse
for
Logh-foile
vnder
the
command
of
Sir
Ed.
Randoll
,
set
forward
in
person
toward
the
North
with
the
rest
of
the
Army
,
which
when
Shane
had
intelligence
of
(
as
what
could
be
done
,
which
some
or
other
made
him
not
acquainted
with
?
)
&
that
hee
vnderstood
there
was
a
purpose
with
all
aduantages
to
presse
him
both
behinde
&
before
,
he
raysed
himselfe
toward
the
Derry
,
and
with
great
expedition
brought
the
matter
to
deciding
,
so
that
many
skirmishes
were
but
as
it
were
preparatiues
to
that
maine
encounter
,
which
to
his
perpetual
renown
cost
Sir
Ed.
Randoll
his
life
,
&
brought
Shane
to
confusion
:
For
very
quickly
all
his
purposes
were
disanulled
,
his
forces
weakened
,
his
Rebels
dissipated
,
&
the
whole
strength
of
his
proiects
infringed
;
so
that
despayring
to
reintegrate
his
estate
,
he
determined
a
strange
alteration
(
O
that
man
dare
presume
of
any
thing
,
being
subiect
to
such
an
alteration
!
)
with
a
Halter
about
his
neck
,
to
submit
to
the
Deputy
:
but
diuerted
from
so
base
a
course
by
the
aduice
,
and
couragious
spirit
of
his
Secretary
,
hee
made
tryall
of
a
new
confederacy
with
Alexander
Oge
and
the
Scots
,
who
were
resident
and
rebellious
in
the
Claude
Boies
.
But
first
,
as
an
introduction
of
peace
,
hee
released
Surleboy
,
the
brother
of
Alexander
,
whom
hee
had
long
detained
in
prison
:
and
thus
presuming
on
this
new
combination
with
the
enforced
Odonnels
wife
,
and
some
few
others
,
he
is
welcommed
into
the
tent
of
Alexander
,
and
for
the
present
entertained
as
the
very
Prince
of
the
North
,
or
King
of
Vlster
:
but
after
extraordinary
drinking
,
and
ouer-liberall
carouses
,
certaine
vnkindnesses
and
vnfortunate
repetitions
began
betweene
them
about
his
other
brothers
death
,
and
the
honour
of
his
sister
,
whom
Shane
had
formerly
married
,
but
despightfully
refused
:
Wine
ouercame
reason
,
reason
thus
entangled
was
subiected
to
confusion
of
words
,
words
encreased
rage
;
and
rage
induced
reuenge
;
so
that
Alex
▪
Oge
,
and
Mac.
Gilaspic
his
brother
tooke
aduantage
of
the
time
and
these
occasions
,
which
was
performed
with
such
inueterate
malice
,
and
offensiue
digressions
,
that
Shane
was
set
vpon
,
ouermastered
,
and
with
many
wounds
slaine
:
that
his
Secretary
was
cut
in
pieces
,
his
wife
or
rather
Concubine
surprised
,
and
the
company
dispersed
:
that
the
Rebels
of
the
North
were
vtterly
subuerted
,
these
Scots
made
a
way
to
their
admission
and
pardon
,
and
by
consequence
the
peace
of
Vlster
restored
.
This
businesse
thus
setled
and
determined
,
a
Parliament
was
called
in
Ireland
,
in
which
Shane
Oneale
with
all
his
followers
was
proscribed
,
the
name
of
Oneale
interdicted
,
the
Lands
and
territories
of
the
North
or
Vlster
incorporated
to
the
Crowne
of
England
,
and
all
occasions
of
innouation
remoued
,
had
not
Turlogh
Leignogh
brothers
sonne
to
Con
More
Oneale
assumed
the
title
:
a
man
of
declining
age
,
and
more
quiet
then
the
rest
of
his
name
,
suspecting
indeede
,
that
according
to
their
law
Tanist
,
either
Shane
Oneales
sonnes
,
or
Hugh
Baron
of
Dunganmon
might
intercept
his
claime
,
and
preuent
his
right
,
as
he
supposed
,
which
compelled
him
to
this
audacious
enterprise
,
contrary
to
the
edict
and
prohibition
of
the
same
:
notwithstanding
,
to
salue
the
sore
of
his
suspected
loialty
,
he
kept
correspondency
with
vs
in
all
his
other
actions
,
and
in
her
Maiesties
seruice
,
not
only
encountred
Odonell
,
but
ouerthrew
the
Scots
Ilanders
,
and
at
last
destroyed
Alexander
Oge
,
the
murtherer
of
Shane
Oneale
.
All
this
while
Hugh
the
sonne
of
Mathew
stood
on
his
guard
,
and
liued
warily
:
sometimes
vnder
the
security
of
his
owne
faithfull
followers
,
sometimes
vnder
the
trust
of
English
protection
,
(
for
so
in
his
yonger
time
he
trooped
in
the
streets
of
London
with
sufficient
equipage
,
and
orderly
respect
)
and
sometimes
as
a
Souldier
he
commanded
a
company
of
horse
vnder
the
Deputy
in
Munster
,
against
the
Earle
of
Desmond
,
with
a
pension
beside
of
one
thousand
marke
a
yeere
out
of
the
Exchequer
,
which
orderly
proceedings
with
the
trust
conceiued
of
his
loialty
drew
the
bow
for
him
,
wherewith
hee
hot
the
marke
of
his
owne
aime
,
and
so
by
new
Leters-Patents
,
hauing
diuers
restraints
and
reseruations
,
hee
was
admitted
to
his
Grandfathers
titles
,
and
inheritances
,
nor
should
it
seeme
that
Turlogh
Leignogh
stomached
his
aduancement
,
but
rather
vpon
hope
of
his
vertues
,
which
gaue
a
lustre
to
his
actions
,
surrendred
his
titles
and
Lordships
into
his
hands
:
But
oh
the
ambition
of
men
?
or
vnconstancy
of
manners
?
these
proceedings
with
him
in
this
faire
and
gentle
manner
,
made
him
either
proud
of
his
owne
greatnesse
,
or
presumptuous
that
the
State
was
afraid
to
displease
him
,
or
superstitious
after
the
Priests
had
insorcered
him
.
For
presently
against
the
Queenes
absolute
prohibition
,
this
new
Tirone
takes
vpon
him
the
title
of
Oneale
,
excusing
the
fact
,
lest
some
rebellious
spirit
according
to
their
warlike
custome
of
maintaining
that
Character
in
their
Family
,
might
assume
the
same
,
taking
aduantage
of
his
negligence
,
protesting
to
disclaime
the
honour
,
so
he
might
not
be
vrged
by
oath
:
and
from
hence
arose
the
first
motiue
of
Tironesvnsted
fastnesse
.
At
this
instant
was
that
memorable
defeat
,
and
admirable
discomfiture
of
the
King
of
Spaines
formidable
Armado
,
or
if
you
will
according
to
Mendozas
owne
words
(
then
Embasdor
Leiger
in
Paris
)
inuincible
Nauy
,
whereby
in
their
returne
by
Scotland
and
Ireland
,
many
of
them
perished
,
but
the
better
sort
were
kindly
intertaind
by
Tirone
after
the
manner
of
Irish
Hospitality
,
and
vnexpectedly
welcome
,
considering
,
that
any
reliefe
to
men
in
distresse
,
and
cast
on
a
strange
shore
by
Shipwrack
,
is
as
Balme
and
Oile
powred
into
wounds
:
In
requitall
whereof
such
a
Loome
of
mischiefe
was
set
on
worke
,
that
at
the
last
the
cloth
was
wouen
of
his
corruption
,
and
folded
together
to
keepe
his
treasons
warme
in
his
owne
bosome
,
till
a
strong
supposed
,
and
yet
presumptuous
hand
,
spred
it
abroade
to
his
vtter
destruction
,
and
shamefull
disgrace
by
reason
of
his
deformed
filthinesse
.
For
when
then
these
straggling
Spaniards
perceiued
his
naturall
inclination
to
ambitious
willingnesse
,
concerning
the
maintaining
some
turbulent
faction
in
Ireland
,
and
demonstration
of
a
stirring
spirit
for
the
glory
of
his
Ancestors
,
they
quickly
added
fuell
to
the
fire
,
and
with
all
the
baites
of
prosperity
and
incantations
to
flattery
choaked
his
loialty
,
&
cast
dust
into
the
eyes
of
his
faithfulnesse
:
Some
promising
,
that
their
great
Master
should
recompence
his
humanity
,
and
noble
respect
:
Some
repining
at
their
misfortune
,
layd
many
slaunders
on
the
shoulders
of
our
country
:
Some
vnder
collour
of
religious
obedience
assured
,
that
the
Pope
himselfe
should
gratifie
him
:
Some
more
dangerously
cunning
crept
within
him
by
that
imposturing
art
of
commendation
,
inferring
he
was
more
worthy
of
a
Crowne
,
then
a
subiects
prostitution
,
&
some
more
plainely
with
demonstratiue
reasons
led
him
as
it
were
by
the
hand
to
the
chaire
of
presumption
,
and
possibility
,
that
it
might
bee
so
,
if
he
durst
attend
his
owne
fortunes
,
and
prosecute
the
times
in
their
seuerall
changes
:
By
which
occasion
this
mans
irresolute
loue
to
his
Prince
and
country
was
first
enuenomed
and
tainted
:
Afterward
it
rancled
more
and
more
in
his
declining
from
himselfe
and
first
soundnesse
by
contracting
a
league
with
Spaine
.
Thirdly
,
it
swelled
apace
with
the
oath
and
allegeance
of
many
followers
,
and
particians
,
to
coadiute
him
in
any
enterprise
whatsoeuer
;
and
last
of
all
,
it
restred
incurably
in
consenting
(
and
putting
the
same
in
practice
)
to
bee
an
opposite
to
the
gouernment
of
England
,
and
a
famous
Rebell
against
the
peace
of
our
country
,
which
yet
was
neither
so
cautelously
disposed
of
,
nor
firmely
compacted
,
but
Hugh
ne
Gauclock
,
his
brother
,
fearing
the
feareful
consequence
of
the
downefall
of
his
house
,
discouered
the
same
,
for
which
the
Earle
found
a
time
to
strangle
him
,
colourably
prosecuting
the
Actors
,
that
durst
lay
hands
on
any
of
the
bloud
of
Oneale
:
but
alas
it
serued
not
his
turne
:
For
not
onely
this
barbarous
Fratricide
,
but
all
his
other
refractary
courses
were
laid
open
to
the
peering
eyes
of
Englands
Maiesty
:
but
such
was
his
preuailing
fortune
,
that
vpon
his
reasonable
iustifications
,
and
seeming
penitency
,
our
gracious
Elizabeth
not
onely
remitted
those
offences
with
fauour
,
but
continued
him
in
his
Greatnesse
with
Honour
.
In
this
manner
he
moued
awhile
in
the
highest
orbe
of
prosperity
,
and
from
our
English
supportation
commanded
his
country
,
as
a
Prince
of
the
North
,
and
except
an
open
displaying
of
the
colours
of
Rebellion
,
performed
,
what
he
durst
,
and
durst
doe
any
thing
,
which
tended
not
to
manifest
treason
,
and
dangerous
innouation
.
For
not
long
after
,
vnder
colour
of
corroborating
the
peace
of
his
country
and
insinuation
with
some
English
affinity
,
hee
made
Sir
Samuel
Bagnols
sister
beleeue
,
that
the
great
Oneale
of
Ireland
was
captiuated
to
her
loue
,
and
in
which
,
if
the
time
could
haue
serued
,
hee
would
haue
shewed
himselfe
as
braue
and
complete
an
Amorist
,
as
the
formallest
Courtier
in
England
:
To
this
the
Lady
seemed
no
great
opposite
,
onely
with
some
shew
of
modesty
depending
on
her
brother
,
she
referd
the
successe
to
his
approbation
,
who
som
what
too
stubborne
,
interposed
as
it
were
a
negatiue
,
not
without
exprobation
of
the
barbarous
customes
of
the
North
of
Ireland
,
which
Tirone
interpreted
disgracious
to
his
exaltation
,
and
finding
no
other
remedy
to
appease
his
wilfulnesse
,
in
a
manner
by
force
of
armes
tooke
her
to
his
wife
;
wherevpon
hee
was
denied
her
dowry
,
and
that
exasperated
his
displeasure
:
to
which
when
the
Deputy
added
the
suppressing
of
Mac
Mahond
his
neighbour
,
I
am
afraid
it
exulcerated
his
loialty
.
For
when
hee
perceiued
hee
was
forbidden
the
title
,
to
the
abasing
of
his
Family
,
and
saw
his
inheritance
distributed
to
the
impouerishing
his
estate
,
he
quickly
startled
vp
,
and
many
displeasures
discouered
themselues
against
his
former
establishment
,
so
that
the
Earle
,
by
occasion
of
retchlesse
booke-keepers
cast
vp
his
vntoward
account
in
this
manner
:
First
,
that
the
State
had
a
purpose
to
suppresse
the
flourishing
eminence
both
of
himselfe
,
and
all
the
Lords
of
the
North
:
Next
;
that
they
should
bee
compelled
to
alter
their
Religion
,
and
disclaime
the
Popes
vsurped
authoritie
ouer
the
Church
:
Thirdly
,
that
the
Marshall
Sir
Henry
Bagnoll
had
not
onely
prosecuted
him
with
despightfull
and
malignant
enmity
,
but
iustified
Articles
of
Treason
against
him
:
Fourthly
,
that
he
was
denied
the
fruits
of
his
owne
labor
,
and
honor
of
his
industry
,
after
he
had
(
as
hee
obiected
)
with
the
losse
of
much
blood
,
and
expending
of
great
Treasure
of
his
owne
,
reducted
the
Prouince
of
Vlster
:
And
last
of
all
,
that
Sir
William
Fitz-William
Lord
Deputy
,
had
not
only
giuen
way
to
the
malice
of
the
Marshall
,
but
possessed
the
Court
of
England
with
many
vntruths
against
him
;
all
which
were
quickly
capitulated
to
the
Dinastas
of
the
North
,
his
kinsmen
,
fauorites
,
and
dependents
,
&
they
as
quickly
commiserated
his
discontents
,
and
meerely
out
of
inueterate
hate
against
vs
all
,
contracted
themselues
to
the
maintaining
the
Romish
Religion
,
and
obedience
to
the
house
of
Oneale
,
keeping
yet
an
open
correspondency
with
vs
,
though
in
couert
their
hearts
(
as
the
Lapwing
cryeth
farthest
from
her
nest
)
stored
vp
as
it
were
all
prouocations
of
disloyalty
,
lying
yet
in
waite
for
some
aduantagious
excuse
,
if
they
once
were
discouered
.
The
first
that
brake
the
Ice
of
their
ill
contriued
Rebellions
was
Mac
Guier
,
a
turbulent
yong
man
,
crafty
,
and
reuengefull
,
who
seduced
by
Gauranus
a
Priest
,
confirmed
Primate
of
Ireland
by
the
Pope
,
inuaded
Conagh
,
and
in
insulting
manner
vsurped
the
Countrey
as
hee
went
,
with
full
confidence
,
that
the
holy
Fathers
blessings
should
in
a
manner
make
security
,
and
successe
attend
them
:
But
the
doores
of
Heauen
were
barred
on
the
inside
,
excluding
them
as
yet
from
any
entrance
,
and
the
vertue
of
Sir
Richard
Bingham
so
counterchecked
Mac
Guiers
fortunes
,
that
hee
fled
discomfited
,
the
Primate
slaine
,
and
all
his
forces
dispersed
:
Yet
after
a
while
the
scattered
limbs
of
Pelops
are
gathered
together
,
and
as
if
Anteus
should
recouer
by
touching
the
Earth
,
Mac
Guier
maketh
a
stronger
party
,
and
with
some
deceiueable
beginnings
,
goes
into
more
open
Action
,
against
whom
the
Earle
of
Tyrone
himselfe
was
compelled
to
ioyne
with
the
Marshall
his
only
suspected
enemy
,
and
receiued
a
wound
in
that
seruice
:
But
his
heart
,
as
it
should
seeme
,
was
worser
hurt
with
priuate
discontentments
:
For
you
must
vnderstand
that
before
he
set
forward
in
her
Maiesties
seruice
,
order
was
taken
for
the
safe
keeping
of
Shane
Oneales
children
,
whose
deliuery
hee
had
denied
to
the
State
,
inferring
by
way
of
complaint
,
that
the
Lord
Deputy
and
Marshall
picked
nothing
but
quarrels
against
him
,
and
by
new
occsiaons
of
vnkindenesse
determined
to
supplant
him
.
Now
is
Sir
William
Fitzwilliam
recalled
,
and
Sir
William
Russell
constituted
Deputy
in
his
stead
,
to
whom
of
his
owne
accord
the
Earle
of
Tyrone
came
to
submitte
himselfe
,
with
all
those
promises
,
that
might
induce
a
generous
spirit
to
beleeue
him
:
but
the
Marshall
Bagnoll
then
present
audaciously
articulated
.
¹
That
he
countenanced
Mac
Guier
and
the
Primats
Rebellion
:
².
That
hee
supported
Odonell
,
and
the
rest
of
that
coniuration
:
³.
That
by
the
aduice
of
Cormach
Mac
Baron
,
his
Bastard
Sonne
Con
had
coadiutement
from
him
in
the
deuastation
of
Monaghan
,
and
besieging
of
Inigkellin
:
⁴.
That
hee
corrupted
the
Faith
and
Obedience
of
the
Captaines
of
Kilulto
and
Kilwarney
:
⁵.
And
that
all
his
protestations
were
counterfet
and
dissimulatory
fictions
.
These
were
hainous
obiections
,
and
indeede
deuided
the
Councell
:
For
the
Deputy
and
Marshall
would
haue
detayned
him
prisoner
,
but
the
greater
part
eyther
by
vaine
feare
,
or
corrupted
respects
,
interceded
vntill
a
more
fitter
oportunity
,
to
whom
as
men
better
acquainted
with
the
affaires
of
Ireland
the
Lord
Deputy
hardly
condiscended
.
So
Tyrone
returned
home
,
and
indeede
turned
as
the
Dog
to
his
vomit
,
to
his
former
impressed
resolutions
to
disturbe
the
State
,
if
the
State
disturbed
him
:
whereupon
vnderstanding
of
an
Army
raysed
in
England
with
new
supplies
of
1300.
Low-countrey
Souldiers
against
him
,
whom
that
worthy
and
renowned
Sir
Iohn
Norris
by
the
famous
name
of
Generall
Norris
brought
out
of
Britany
,
hee
not
onely
stood
on
his
guard
,
but
mustred
his
followers
(
by
this
time
reasonably
disciplin'd
in
the
open
fields
,
and
whilst
the
English
went
against
Balishanon
and
Belike
,
Castles
at
the
further
end
of
Logh
Erne
,
he
approched
Black-water
Fort
,
and
comming
on
the
suddaine
,
had
it
surrendered
into
his
hands
,
but
not
with
that
confidence
,
that
eyther
hee
relied
on
the
security
of
the
place
,
or
power
of
his
owne
Army
:
whereupon
he
very
politiquely
one
way
attempted
the
Earle
of
Kildare
to
support
him
against
the
manifest
iniuries
of
the
Deputy
and
Marshall
,
and
another
way
promised
the
Earle
of
Ormond
and
Sir
Henry
Wallop
Treasurer
,
to
remaine
within
the
limits
of
iustifiable
obedience
:
To
this
hee
added
the
vnclasping
the
booke
of
these
occurrences
to
Sir
Iohn
Norris
Generall
of
the
Army
,
imploring
his
commiseration
,
and
as
it
were
begging
at
his
hands
,
that
hee
might
not
bee
enforced
to
such
exorbitant
actions
,
as
necessity
and
the
law
of
Nature
would
and
could
contriue
;
but
the
former
Letters
the
Marshall
intercepted
,
and
these
too
Generall
Norris
quite
suppressed
,
which
he
sparingly
misliked
,
though
it
fell
not
to
his
turne
absolutely
to
finde
fault
withall
:
But
when
Tyrone
vnderstood
of
these
calumnious
and
dangerous
proceedings
against
him
,
hee
was
put
quite
out
of
patience
,
exclayming
,
that
his
destruction
was
now
on
the
webbe
,
and
in
the
hands
of
a
pestilent
workeman
,
yea
his
aduersary
wanted
onely
meanes
to
his
will
to
contriue
his
vtter
destruction
indeede
.
Notwithstanding
all
this
;
hee
put
on
new
wings
to
his
deceiueable
hopes
,
and
turmoyled
all
the
Kingdome
with
inficious
Rebellion
,
whereupon
hee
was
publikely
proclaymed
Traytor
,
and
enemy
to
the
Queene
,
which
hee
professed
accordingly
with
all
correspondency
of
an
aduersary
.
For
in
Vlster
his
Army
consisted
of
a
1000.
Horse
,
and
7000.
Foote
.
In
Conach
he
had
(

)
200.
Horse
,
and
2400.
Foote
:
In
Lease
and
Ophaly
,
the
number
was
as
vncertaine
,
as
their
dispositions
,
being
sometimes
violent
Rebels
,
and
anon
submissiue
Subiects
.
In
Munster
they
liued
so
dispersed
,
that
the
Gouernour
found
it
worke
enough
to
finde
them
out
,
and
follow
them
:
The
English
forces
vnder
Sir
Iohn
Norris
equalled
their
greatest
Armies
,
but
nothing
was
done
worthy
of
so
great
a
Commanders
name
,
and
souldiers
renowne
.
For
vnder
colour
of
priuate
displeasure
betweene
the
Deputy
and
him
,
many
bad
offices
were
performed
,
and
the
time
spent
to
small
purpose
in
parlies
and
conferences
,
affording
Tirone
such
leisure
,
that
hee
contracted
with
Spaine
,
and
expected
from
thence
continuall
supplies
.
But
before
the
matter
came
to
martiall
deciding
,
Sir
Henry
Wallop
Treasurer
at
warrs
,
and
Sir
Robert
Gardner
chiefe
Iustice
of
the
Kings
Bench
,
men
layd
downe
in
the
ballance
of
integrity
,
wisedome
and
experience
,
were
deligated
to
heare
the
grieuances
of
these
great
Lords
of
the
North
,
enforced
to
a
defensiue
warre
,
as
they
intimated
,
and
yet
obscured
by
the
name
of
traytors
against
the
State
:
The
commiserate
hearing
of
these
compulsions
,
and
vnquiet
discourses
from
so
dangerous
a
faction
,
returned
our
English
Commissioners
with
some
amazement
at
their
oratory
,
and
cunning
insinuation
,
whereby
they
might
haue
excused
diuers
things
,
if
by
a
wrong
course
they
had
not
incurred
the
danger
of
contesting
with
Princes
,
yea
their
royall
Souereigne
,
whose
incensed
Maiesty
could
not
indure
such
opposition
:
whereupon
the
truce
is
ouerpassed
,
and
the
Trumpet
of
defiance
sounded
through
the
Kingdome
,
foreshewing
,
that
the
Schoolemaster
of
reformation
was
at
hand
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Norris
as
Lord
Generall
of
the
Armie
in
the
absence
of
the
Deputy
,
ready
to
display
the
colours
of
correction
,
but
it
should
seeme
the
Deputy
would
needes
haue
a
share
in
the
glory
of
this
businesse
.
For
contrary
to
his
first
appointment
,
hee
hasted
apace
,
and
vnited
his
troopes
with
Sir
Iohn
Norris
,
and
so
both
together
attended
the
successe
of
the
matter
,
and
prosperity
of
the
time
.
The
beginning
was
a
fortunate
terrifying
him
at
Armagh
,
and
pressing
him
so
closely
,
that
the
Earle
left
Black-water
Fort
,
dismantled
the
Towne
thereabouts
,
fiered
some
houses
at
Dungannon
his
owne
principall
seat
,
and
secured
himselfe
in
his
chiefest
fastnesse
,
winning
much
time
by
this
politike
retreat
,
but
we
vnexperienced
in
those
dangerous
places
of
his
boggs
and
woods
,
with
only
proclaiming
him
Traitor
in
his
country
,
and
leauing
Garrison
in
Armagh
,
returned
,
which
Tirone
audaciously
interpreted
to
his
owne
aduantage
,
repining
at
nothing
more
,
then
our
fortification
in
Monaghan
:
Thus
was
our
businesse
kept
awhile
out
of
the
running
current
of
applause
.
For
the
Deputy
and
the
Generall
of
the
Armie
grew
to
some
impatient
contradicting
one
another
,
as
if
there
had
beene
a
fault
committed
,
which
was
questionlesse
to
be
imposed
on
one
of
their
shoulders
:
wherefore
the
Deputy
commanded
,
or
if
you
wil
,
wished
S.
I.
Norris
to
prosecute
the
seruice
in
Vlster
,
whilst
he
retired
to
Dubline
to
prouide
for
the
peace
of
the
other
Prouinces
,
but
it
preuailed
little
to
the
lifting
vp
the
head
of
the
maine
body
.
For
he
performed
nothing
worthy
the
glory
of
his
former
reputation
or
dignity
of
so
eminent
a
place
:
But
whether
the
emulation
of
the
Deputy
,
or
fauouring
the
Earle
to
whome
hee
was
as
much
inclined
with
respect
,
as
the
Deputy
transported
with
hate
:
Or
whether
he
suspected
the
businesse
in
hand
,
the
nature
whereof
,
with
the
basenesse
and
intricate
obscurity
of
the
country
,
was
so
contrarious
to
the
military
proceedings
elsewhere
,
and
spent
all
mens
spirits
,
without
so
much
as
the
memory
of
manhood
:
or
whether
in
inclination
of
fortune
he
began
to
stagger
from
his
first
firmenes
,
which
in
a
customary
defect
dealeth
strangely
with
such
Commanders
,
somtimes
heaping
her
fauours
and
prosperous
successes
,
anon
againe
withdrawing
her
happy
hand
,
and
by
degrees
extenuating
both
their
valour
▪
fame
,
and
iudgement
,
I
dispute
not
vpon
.
Only
this
I
am
sure
of
,
that
faire
errors
might
lead
them
both
:
For
the
Deputy
by
reason
of
Sir
Henry
Bagnols
and
some
others
despight
,
was
brought
to
looke
vpon
a
very
face
of
disloialty
in
Tirone
,
and
Sir
Iohn
Norris
commiserated
his
misfortune
,
as
abused
with
dissimulatory
submissiue
letters
,
in
which
the
Earle
was
ready
on
his
knees
to
any
penitent
prostitution
,
when
yet
vnder-hand
hee
implored
the
aid
of
Spaine
,
with
warrantise
,
that
if
an
Army
were
intended
against
England
,
then
to
vnite
their
forces
:
if
only
warres
were
proclaymed
and
protraction
vsed
,
then
must
the
Catholike
King
supply
them
with
men
and
money
wherevpon
O
Roorck
,
Mac
Williams
,
and
others
openly
,
and
the
Earle
priuately
subscribed
to
a
certaine
instrument
of
Indenture
,
like
ratification
,
giuing
yet
notice
to
the
State
of
all
these
contracts
,
and
determinations
,
to
which
was
added
another
parley
with
Sir
Iohn
Norris
,
and
Sir
Geffery
Fenton
Secretary
in
persons
,
full
of
very
strange
promises
,
and
colluding
protestations
to
runne
a
race
of
obedience
and
loyalty
:
all
which
accustomed
Leuity
hee
infringed
,
laying
imputation
vpon
the
discrepant
humors
of
the
Deputy
and
Lord
Generall
,
but
especially
,
that
his
onely
enemy
the
Marshall
was
returned
from
England
with
new
forces
,
and
inueterate
malice
against
him
.
Whereupon
by
way
of
Apology
,
hee
excused
himselfe
to
the
Councell
of
England
,
and
vrged
many
iustifiable
reasons
(
as
he
thought
)
for
his
discrepant
proceedings
,
to
which
it
should
seem
their
answere
was
both
distasting
,
and
fearefull
vnto
him
.
For
as
it
were
exasperated
rather
then
forewarned
,
he
presently
returned
to
his
old
courses
,
and
taking
great
aduantage
of
our
slacknesse
,
and
ill
prepared
forces
,
spoiled
the
country
,
filled
all
the
paces
with
Rebels
,
Barrocaded
the
passages
,
and
with
military
excursions
ran
an
vncontroulable
iourney
of
doing
what
he
pleased
through
the
North.
Thus
was
all
Vlster
and
most
part
of
Conach
(
excepting
certain
Garrisons
)
at
his
absolute
command
,
vntil
the
Lord
Borrough
1597.
a
man
of
a
great
spirit
and
quick
capacity
was
sent
Deputy
into
Ireland
,
from
whose
worth
some
auspicious
expectation
seemed
to
comfort
vs
,
and
new
endeuours
in
a
manner
to
warrant
new
fortunes
:
This
sonne
of
Mars
quickly
pulled
off
the
clogs
of
delay
,
&
within
two
moneths
rolled
the
stone
of
Tirones
vnquietnesse
,
making
way
with
great
industrie
and
vertue
into
his
country
,
fortifying
the
Fort
of
Black-water
,
and
discouering
this
secret
,
that
neyther
his
Boggs
,
Glinns
,
Woods
,
Mountaines
,
Paces
,
Confederats
,
or
any
power
of
Ireland
,
or
Irish
coadiutors
could
hide
him
from
the
searching
eyes
of
England
.
Besides
,
if
we
would
vndertake
an
industrious
prosecution
against
him
,
it
was
neyther
Spayne
with
her
Gold
,
nor
the
Pope
with
his
Fulminations
against
our
Countrey
,
could
secure
him
.
For
the
farre
reaching
armes
of
our
people
would
for
a
neede
pull
him
out
of
the
Center
of
the
Earth
:
and
thus
accordingly
euen
at
the
first
skirmishes
were
his
forces
dissipated
,
and
the
best
troopes
disranked
:
but
as
my
Lord
was
giuing
God
thankes
with
a
warlike
solemnity
,
a
sudden
Alarum
set
them
anew
to
worke
,
and
Henry
Earle
of
Kildare
with
the
Gent.
Volentiers
had
the
Fortune
to
put
him
againe
to
flight
,
which
yet
yeelded
not
so
full
a
satisfaction
,
as
it
might
haue
done
,
because
my
Lord
lost
his
brother
in
Law
Francis
Vaughan
and
Captaine
Turner
Sergeant
Maior
,
besides
the
Earle
of
Kildare
to
the
sorrow
of
his
heart
saw
two
of
his
brethren
wrapped
vp
in
the
Bed
of
blood
,
all
men
of
worthy
expectation
,
and
extraordinary
Merit
.
Thus
is
a
way
made
into
his
Countrey
,
and
Black-water
Fort
strengthened
with
new
trenches
,
not
without
some
ramparts
,
and
Caffamates
,
which
the
enemy
so
repined
at
,
that
betweene
hope
,
feare
,
and
shame
,
they
resolued
to
dismantle
it
,
had
not
the
Lord
Deputy
opened
more
larger
embracings
,
and
with
a
new
manner
of
wrestling
resolued
to
lay
him
on
the
ground
irrecouerably
:
but
hinc
illae
lachrimae
!
as
he
was
treading
the
measures
of
prosperity
,
an
vntimely
discord
of
Death
sounding
Musike
deceiued
him
of
hope
,
and
vs
of
him
,
whose
forwardnes
and
vertue
with
a
little
addition
of
experience
,
and
solid
vnderstanding
himselfe
,
had
no
doubt
effectuated
this
Herculian
labour
of
Irelands
peace
.
Now
is
Tyrone
putting
on
his
Icarean
wings
,
and
the
Rebell
with
accustomed
Clamors
taking
aduantage
of
this
Interim
,
assaulted
Black-water
Fort
,
but
therein
commanded
that
industrious
Captaine
Th.
Williams
,
who
at
the
same
instant
by
meere
valour
,
and
resolution
propulsed
them
,
and
many
times
after
,
by
patience
and
constancy
endured
all
those
mischiefes
,
where
by
a
Souldier
is
put
to
the
test
,
and
enemy
maketh
demonstration
of
his
hate
and
policy
.
For
when
the
Irish
found
themselues
vncapable
of
such
a
businesse
,
by
way
of
expugnation
,
or
assault
,
they
tooke
another
course
by
intercepting
the
passages
to
famish
them
;
which
when
the
English
vnderstood
,
they
were
as
resolute
to
affront
all
mischances
,
as
the
enemy
was
violent
in
contriuing
displeasures
,
and
so
with
noble
stedfastnesse
bare
vp
a
head
against
the
streame
of
sicknesse
,
and
wants
,
eating
Horses
and
Weedes
,
and
if
it
had
beene
possible
,
the
very
durt
and
stones
.
In
this
time
the
gouernment
of
Ireland
was
in
the
hands
of
the
Earle
of
Ormond
,
as
Lieutenant
Generall
of
the
Army
:
the
Lord
Chancelor
and
Sir
Robert
Gardner
Iustices
,
to
whom
the
Earle
of
Tyrone
by
many
dilatory
Letters
did
lay
open
all
his
grieuances
,
touching
sparingly
his
breach
of
promise
with
Sir
Iohn
Norris
,
and
all
the
effectuall
points
of
his
disobedience
,
and
refractary
courses
:
To
these
Letters
hee
receiued
answere
,
which
hee
interpreted
displeasing
rather
then
satisfactory
,
and
so
accordingly
entred
into
further
Rebellious
actions
,
pressing
Black-water
Fort
again
with
a
more
dangerous
siedge
,
against
whom
the
Lord
Lieutenant
and
Iustices
aforesaid
sent
Sir
Henry
Bagnoll
the
Marshall
,
his
only
reputed
aduersary
,
with
sixteene
Companies
of
Foot
,
and
foure
troops
of
Horse
,
who
aduancing
forward
more
malicious
then
fortunate
,
as
ouerwrought
by
a
predestinated
wilfulnesse
,
came
to
blowes
,
and
according
to
the
slippery
footing
of
Warre
,
fel
to
a
dangerous
Skirmish
,
in
which
Tyrone
shouldred
him
with
all
his
strength
nigh
vnto
Armagh
,
determining
as
it
were
to
punish
his
Enuy
,
and
supposed
abuses
against
him
,
wherein
it
should
seeme
the
Mistrisse
of
successe
(
as
we
abuse
Gods
prouidence
by
the
Character
of
Fortune
)
was
coadiutrix
,
and
displayed
all
the
maligne
circumstances
of
reuenge
against
vs
.
For
ere
night
decided
the
controuersy
,
hee
triumphed
with
a
notorious
victory
,
whereby
in
one
houre
the
Marshall
ended
his
brauery
,
life
,
and
enmity
:
nor
could
the
Irish
euer
boast
of
a
more
conspicuous
triumph
since
the
Conquest
,
or
if
you
had
rather
haue
it
so
,
since
we
first
curb'd
their
immanity
:
For
we
lost
fifteene
Captaines
,
and
1500.
Souldiers
,
ouer
whom
the
manner
of
insulting
was
more
barbarous
then
the
accident
tyrannous
.
Presently
followed
the
surrendring
of
Black-water
Fort
,
when
the
besieged
saw
all
reliefe
debarred
them
,
and
heard
,
how
Tyrone
was
proclaymed
the
deliuerer
of
his
Countrey
and
Protector
of
the
Catholique
cause
,
seeming
the
very
darling
of
prosperity
and
delight
of
Bellona
,
wherein
he
proceeded
accordingly
,
making
all
the
Kingdome
witnesse
his
glory
and
renowne
.
For
hee
presently
sent
Ouny-Mac
Roory
Oge
,
and
Tirrill
into
Munster
with
foure
thousand
Rebels
,
against
whom
the
Lord
President
Sir
Iohn
Norris
(
hauing
lost
his
brother
by
sicknesse
,
or
as
some
suppose
,
a
disastrous
Melancholy
)
with
reasonable
equipage
,
and
orderly
attendance
set
nobly
forward
:
but
the
enemy
not
appearing
,
he
retired
to
Corck
,
and
diuiding
his
Army
into
seuerall
Garrisons
,
gaue
them
liberty
to
take
aduantage
of
our
wearisomnesse
and
impatience
.
For
presently
they
proceeded
to
all
hatefull
courses
of
sauage
outrage
,
and
after
Iames
Fitz-Thomas
a
Rebell
of
that
House
was
proclaymed
Earle
of
Desmond
,
who
thereupon
acknowledged
Oneale
his
benefactor
,
and
superior
,
they
returned
with
ambitious
alacrity
,
and
cheerefulnesse
,
and
sent
word
into
Spayne
of
their
admirable
successes
,
wherein
Tyrone
behaued
himselfe
so
audaciously
,
that
he
interdicted
the
peace
of
England
,
as
if
there
had
beene
a
way
opened
vnto
an
easy
conquest
of
the
same
,
and
the
first
steppe
into
Ireland
would
helpe
them
vp
the
degrees
of
a
more
illustrious
glorie
,
to
which
purpose
the
King
of
Spayne
should
not
onely
bee
assured
of
the
Popes
blessing
,
but
Oneales
Fortunes
and
assistance
,
yea
the
whole
power
of
the
Kingdome
.
This
was
the
lamentable
estate
of
Ireland
,
when
her
Maiesty
taking
pitty
of
her
Orphan
Countrey
,
substituted
Robert
Earle
of
Essex
,
whom
the
successe
of
Cales
voyage
,
and
many
other
memorable
designes
and
prosecutions
had
worthily
renowned
,
her
Lieutenant
Generall
of
Ireland
:
But
how
hee
had
formerly
wound
himselfe
into
the
good
opinion
of
his
Countrey
,
how
England
looked
vpon
him
as
a
glorious
sonne
of
comlinesse
and
honour
,
how
his
forces
,
Treasure
,
and
Fauours
were
extraordinary
in
this
proiect
of
Ireland
,
how
hee
proceeded
in
this
military
race
,
how
the
applause
of
the
people
,
and
the
greatest
part
of
the
nobilitie
attended
him
:
How
a
sudden
storme
,
as
if
some
ominous
signe
from
Heauen
presaged
misfortune
,
intercepted
his
iollity
euen
at
his
first
setting
out
of
London
:
how
landed
in
Ireland
hee
beganne
his
businesse
as
preposterously
:
How
that
braue
Sir
Coniers
Clifford
was
abused
by
presumption
,
and
ouer-credulous
opinion
,
that
his
bosome
friend
O
Roorck
would
not
haue
prooued
such
a
Traytor
,
and
so
not
only
lost
his
life
at
the
Curlews
a
boggy
Mountaine
by
the
Abby
of
Aborle
:
but
was
inhumanely
after
the
skirmish
mangled
,
and
with
great
immanity
cut
in
peeces
:
How
the
Earle
of
Ormond
,
and
Sir
Henry
Harington
were
surprized
and
taken
prisoners
by
Harry
Oge
:
Owny
mac
Roory
,
and
the
sonnes
of
Feff
mac-Heugh
rebells
vnited
against
the
peace
and
flourishing
prosperity
of
Lemster
:
How
hee
came
to
a
priuate
parley
with
Tyrone
,
and
was
much
affected
by
the
Irish
:
How
her
Maiesty
rebuked
him
,
and
from
incensed
indignation
challenged
both
his
loyalty
,
and
the
wisedome
of
the
Councell
of
Ireland
for
a
contrarious
and
vntoward
method
of
gouernment
,
and
prosecutions
in
the
North
:
How
his
glorious
celebrating
the
feast
of
Saint
George
in
the
City
of
Dubline
,
considering
the
times
and
turmoyles
of
the
kingdome
,
was
imputed
rather
an
ostentous
brauery
,
then
a
necessary
honour
:
How
contrary
to
expectation
hee
comes
into
England
after
a
priuate
prohibition
by
her
Maiesties
owne
Letters
:
How
hee
was
commanded
to
his
owne
House
,
and
his
Offices
dispensed
withall
:
How
his
sorrows
multiplied
:
How
the
peoples
loue
encreased
eyther
from
a
generall
commiserating
of
such
men
in
distresse
,
or
particular
apprehension
of
his
greatnesse
,
and
worth
:
How
his
fortunes
and
Life
ended
:
I
will
leaue
to
a
Story
of
it selfe
,
yea
if
I
might
say
so
,
to
many
Stories
,
in
which
such
infinite
obseruations
might
bee
folded
,
that
if
a
man
durst
or
might
spread
them
abroad
,
all
the
passages
should
be
laid
open
and
exposed
to
publique
ouerlooking
,
of
the
fauour
and
disfauor
of
Princes
,
the
dangers
of
men
insatiable
of
glory
,
the
condition
of
Councellours
,
emulous
of
one
anothers
greatnesse
,
the
mutability
and
inconstancy
of
popularitie
,
the
perill
wherein
men
plunge
themselues
,
that
dare
presume
to
perpetrate
vniustifiable
actions
,
and
the
misery
,
which
an
vntimely
death
bringeth
to
a
man
projecting
high
matters
to
himselfe
.
But
to
our
Irish
businesse
againe
.
When
my
Lord
of
Essex
troubles
were
published
abroad
and
divulged
in
Ireland
:
the
Earle
of
Tirone
with
great
indignation
brake
the
truce
of
his
Country
,
raised
his
forces
,
mustred
his
Rebells
,
rumored
the
inuasion
of
England
by
Spaine
,
and
audaciously
set
open
all
the
passages
of
war
and
defiance
,
whereupon
the
Traytours
increased
both
in
pride
and
numbers
,
and
those
which
were
meere
Irish
,
expected
their
pristinate
liberty
:
such
againe
as
had
settled
their
estates
,
either
by
purchase
or
gift
of
the
Prince
,
began
to
misdoubt
themselues
,
when
they
perceiued
such
a
confluence
and
concurrence
of
tumultuary
businesse
to
the
detriment
of
the
Kingdome
:
yea
,
I
am
afrayd
they
were
without
all
hope
in
their
hearts
,
when
Tirone
proclaimed
himselfe
Protector
of
Ireland
,
and
Maintainer
of
the
Catholique
Religion
:
nor
was
this
onely
titular
,
and
a
formall
tricke
of
vaine
promises
and
flattering
friends
.
For
he
proceeded
accordingly
,
imperiously
managing
all
affaires
vnder
his
gouernment
:
the
rebellious
he
moderated
,
the
weake
supported
,
the
strong
confirmed
,
the
staggering
reduced
,
the
wilfull
punished
,
and
(
in
a
word
)
applied
himselfe
altogether
to
the
extirpation
of
the
English
:
whereunto
he
was
animated
,
by
assured
intelligence
of
preparations
in
Spaine
,
and
the
receiuing
a
competent
treasure
from
thence
.
Nor
wanted
there
certaine
indulgences
and
promises
from
the
Pope
,
to
set
his
desire
on
a
blaze
:
but
when
for
a
present
hee
had
receiued
an
hollowed
Phoenix
plume
,
with
Ixion
that
boasted
of
lying
with
Iuno
,
being
yet
deceiued
with
the
shape
of
a
clowd
,
hee
presaged
good
fortune
,
and
ranne
away
with
full
confidence
of
successe
,
and
the
rather
,
because
hee
remembred
,
how
Vrban
the
third
had
sent
King
Iohn
a
crowne
of
peacockes
feathers
at
his
designation
,
for
the
Lordship
of
Ireland
.
Thus
marched
he
ouer
the
Countrey
,
with
extraordinarie
preuailing
,
and
vnaccustomed
pomp
,
for
an
Irish
Commander
,
with
new
publications
of
his
regardable
proceedings
,
and
Princely
confirmations
.
And
to
adde
fuell
to
that
fire
,
which
in
his
absence
was
kindled
in
Munster
,
he
went
thither
in
person
,
and
vnder
colour
of
visiting
a
peece
of
the
crosse
of
Christ
in
Tiperary
,
attempted
further
,
sending
Mac-Guior
to
forage
the
country
,
who
chancing
on
Sr.
Warrham
Selenger
,
fell
to
blowes
,
and
in
gallant
encounter
,
charged
one
another
so
brauely
,
that
with
their
staues
they
equally
received
their
deaths
wounds
through
their
bodies
,
which
a
while
curbed
Tirones
headstrongnesse
,
and
peraduenture
was
cause
of
his
sooner
retiring
home
,
after
he
had
celebrated
Mac-Guiors
exequies
:
but
in
truth
the
aduertisement
of
the
Earle
of
Ormonds
comming
against
him
with
all
the
English
forces
rebated
his
first
forwardnesse
,
and
made
him
suspect
all
was
not
so
well
as
he
wished
:
but
yet
animated
by
many
superstitious
presages
,
and
giuing
all
credit
to
his
Bards
and
Rimers
,
of
which
sort
of
people
,
especially
if
I
adde
the
Priests
,
I
will
bee
bolde
to
say
thus
much
,
that
they
are
the
very
bane
and
confusion
of
Ireland
,
liuing
in
such
obscenity
and
filthinesse
,
that
no
Gentlewoman
thinketh
herselfe
happy
without
them
,
and
supposeth
it
no
disgrace
euen
to
bee
prostituted
vnto
them
:
Insomuch
,
that
ill
custome
(
besides
the
intolerable
yoke
of
superstition
,
to
which
these
people
are
out
of
measure
addicted
)
hauing
got
the
vpperhand
,
these
insorcering
wretches
at
marriages
,
feasts
,
births
of
children
,
contracts
,
burialls
,
and
peraduenture
all
their
liues
time
,
challenge
certaine
priuiledges
,
immunities
and
gifts
;
yea
,
priuacies
with
the
women
,
and
imperious
ouerruling
the
men
:
So
that
as
their
families
encrease
in
mightinesse
,
these
damnable
creatures
prosper
in
reputation
,
as
if
all
blessings
depended
vpon
their
incantations
and
prayers
,
&
no
action
could
thriue
without
their
crossings
and
sanctifying
:
So
that
(
in
my
conscience
)
the
most
of
the
rebells
and
strumpets
amongst
them
,
are
the
bastards
of
these
rogues
and
vagabonds
:
and
all
the
treasons
,
which
haue
turmoiled
our
Nation
,
haue
receiued
life
and
originall
from
their
imposturing
and
perswasions
.
By
this
time
is
Sr.
Charles
Blunt
Lord
Montioy
confirmed
Deputy
of
Ireland
,
on
whom
long
since
the
Queene
had
looked
with
respect
for
the
same
purpose
:
But
the
Earle
of
Essex
proposing
to
himselfe
the
managing
of
all
military
affaires
,
somewhat
couertly
impugned
the
same
,
extenuated
his
experience
in
the
warres
,
and
that
hee
onely
had
a
view
of
some
skirmishes
in
the
Low
Countries
:
Besides
,
his
spirit
was
not
stirring
enough
to
curb
such
a
Nation
,
as
giuen
ouer
much
to
his
booke
,
and
a
kinde
of
retired
melancholy
,
rather
fit
for
ciuill
gouernment
,
then
violent
hurliburlies
:
All
which
wiped
not
yet
out
the
print
of
her
good
opinion
;
but
shee
went
forward
in
her
choyce
,
and
made
the
election
more
notable
,
because
her
owne
iudgement
affoorded
sufficient
reason
of
his
merit
:
onely
she
proposed
before
him
,
by
way
of
caution
,
my
Lord
of
Essex
wilfulnesse
,
and
in
a
manner
presumption
,
practizing
diuers
things
against
her
liking
and
prescription
,
and
so
alike
restrained
his
commission
,
and
by
word
of
mouth
commanded
his
charines
and
wisdom
,
concerning
the
knighting
of
men
,
which
must
needes
be
vilipended
,
brought
once
to
a
community
;
as
for
any
hinderances
,
by
the
maleuolent
aspect
of
single
Councellours
,
shee
promised
on
her
Princely
word
,
that
shee
would
bee
the
Queene
of
her
Kingdome
,
and
no
man
should
contract
a
brow
of
mislike
,
or
preuaile
in
any
secret
information
against
him
:
whereupon
hee
was
much
comforted
,
and
well
hoped
,
that
that
enmity
which
was
whispered
betweene
Mr.
Secretary
and
him
,
I
meane
Sr.
Robert
Cecill
,
might
be
easily
reconciled
,
and
(
as
it
were
)
like
the
swet
of
a
mans
browes
wiped
away
with
a
gentle
hand
,
which
accordingly
came
to
passe
.
For
when
certaine
honest
men
performed
good
offices
betweene
them
,
neuer
man
obserued
such
a
Councellour
of
State
,
better
than
my
Lord
did
him
,
nor
such
a
greatnesse
honoured
a
person
in
such
an
eminent
place
,
then
Mr.
Secretary
did
my
Lord
:
so
that
to
their
dying
dayes
their
friendship
was
indissoluble
,
and
as
they
loued
one
another
,
so
both
respected
the
glory
of
their
country
before
one
another
.
Thus
without
any
publique
ostentation
,
or
great
attendancy
,
in
the
month
of
February
1600.
he
tooke
his
iourney
toward
Ireland
,
and
was
welcommed
to
our
true-hearted
English
,
as
you
see
a
famous
Physician
presented
to
a
sicke
patient
,
who
hath
long
expected
his
comming
.
For
hee
found
Ireland
so
desperate
languishing
,
that
he
rather
feared
her
funerals
then
recouery
,
which
must
bee
so
at
this
instant
,
considering
the
very
best
did
droop
with
despaire
,
and
the
worst
insulted
with
pride
:
Tyrone
passed
and
repassed
without
controll
,
and
the
Rebell
had
nothing
in
his
mouth
,
but
the
Spanish
Inuasion
,
and
that
Tyrone
should
bee
the
Prince
of
their
Countrey
vnder
the
Catholique
King
:
whereupon
to
exasperate
the
new
Deputy
,
and
terrifie
him
at
the
first
,
they
gaue
an
assault
to
the
suburbs
of
Dublin
,
and
the
Alarum
rung
euen
to
the
Castle
,
where
my
Lord
was
resident
,
which
indeede
so
much
incensed
him
,
that
he
resolued
to
intercept
his
returne
out
of
Munster
,
whatsoeuer
chanced
;
and
so
gathering
together
the
rest
of
the
dispersed
forces
,
and
taking
along
such
Gentlemen
as
came
with
him
out
of
England
,
he
marched
into
Fereall
(
for
you
must
consider
the
maine
army
was
with
my
Lord
of
Ormond
in
Munster
)
and
determined
to
see
the
manner
of
Tyrones
returning
home
into
his
Countrey
,
but
was
preuented
by
the
admirable
expedition
hee
made
.
For
certified
of
all
our
proceedings
,
not
without
some
ampliation
of
my
Lords
power
and
authority
,
as
in
all
such
cases
it
happens
,
that
new
Gouernours
are
not
onely
extolled
,
but
an
army
of
a
thousand
by
poll
,
shall
be
made
two
thousand
by
report
,
he
quickly
procured
a
shelter
for
the
storme
which
was
threatned
,
and
euen
ready
to
powre
vpon
him
,
and
so
taking
the
way
of
Lease
,
and
the
skirts
of
Meath
,
posted
into
the
North.
When
my
Lord
Deputy
was
thus
frustrated
of
his
expectation
,
he
returned
to
Dublin
,
and
after
orderly
consultation
,
concluded
to
send
forces
by
sea
to
Logh-Foile
and
Balishanon
,
as
also
to
Logh-Erne
,
to
visit
Lease
and
Ophaly
,
to
restore
Munster
,
and
fortifie
Conach
,
which
as
they
were
designes
of
wonderfull
consequence
;
so
must
as
wonderfull
wisdome
of
men
,
and
prouidence
of
God
effectuate
the
same
,
and
bring
to
a
happy
period
.
Thus
was
all
Ireland
,
like
a
turbulent
sea
full
of
billowes
,
euen
to
the
very
shores
,
and
the
Rebell
vexed
both
Countrey
and
Inhabitants
:
the
country
was
spoiled
,
ouerrunne
,
and
in
most
parts
depopulated
;
insomuch
that
in
diuers
places
,
twenty
mile
together
,
not
so
much
as
a
bird
appeared
;
the
inhabitants
were
slaine
,
rauished
,
enforced
,
and
robbed
:
insomuch
that
neither
house
,
nor
Church
,
except
some
few
castles
and
townes
in
speciall
mens
hands
,
remained
vpright
:
but
were
burnt
,
ruined
,
and
deuasted
.
When
my
Lord
Deputy
(
to
make
my
first
simile
hold
correspondency
)
felt
the
pulses
so
strong
of
this
disquieted
body
,
and
vnderstood
the
state
of
the
same
by
outward
and
inward
demostration
:
his
principall
care
was
,
to
reduce
the
distemperature
,
and
coole
the
heat
,
if
it
were
possible
,
of
this
burning
feauer
;
for
which
purpose
hee
conferred
with
the
Councell
,
and
after
orderly
and
prouident
furnishing
his
army
with
munition
,
garons
,
and
seuerall
prouision
:
he
determined
in
person
,
and
with
all
speedinesse
,
sometimes
the
onely
strength
and
life
of
all
difficult
enterprizes
,
to
encounter
the
enemy
;
but
especially
to
diuert
Tyrone
from
intercepting
Sr.
Henry
Dockeray
,
at
Logh-Foile
;
and
Sr.
Matthew
Morgan
,
at
Balishanon
:
whereupon
in
the
beginning
of
May
(
an
early
time
to
bring
an
army
into
the
field
)
hee
marched
toward
Vlster
,
and
pressed
the
Rebell
with
so
many
skirmishes
,
that
they
were
wonderfully
dispersed
,
and
against
all
expectation
confounded
:
Thus
had
hee
leasure
,
in
the
midst
of
Iune
,
to
march
backe
againe
into
Lease
,
the
onely
refuge
of
the
Rebels
of
Lemster
,
where
with
admirable
successe
he
preuailed
against
that
turbulent
,
cruell
,
and
bloudy
young
man
Ony-Mac-Roory-Oge
,
the
cheefe
of
the
family
of
O-more
,
who
had
so
lately
disturbed
the
peace
of
all
Munster
;
to
whom
,
with
other
his
most
pestilent
and
impious
confederates
,
did
our
Deputy
read
a
lesson
of
Iustice
,
and
taught
rebellion
other
principles
of
conformity
,
then
either
they
were
willing
to
learne
,
or
had
beene
before
orderly
enstructed
in
:
by
which
occasion
Bellona
began
to
giue
vs
better
entertainment
,
and
already
there
appeared
a
declining
of
the
others
prosperity
:
Thus
was
the
God
of
battells
propitious
vnto
vs
,
and
the
sunne
of
comfort
by
degrees
chased
away
the
foggy
mists
of
despaire
and
despight
;
so
that
euery
mans
heart
was
cheered
,
and
they
which
held
downe
their
heads
full
low
in
the
time
of
mistrust
and
affliction
,
I
meane
the
Irish-English
themselues
in
the
pale
,
beganne
to
stand
vpright
for
ioy
,
and
flocked
to
the
court
in
troops
,
to
welcome
my
Lord
Deputy
home
,
and
applauded
the
prosperity
of
his
attempts
;
yea
,
to
speake
without
flattery
,
to
impute
the
happinesse
to
his
vertue
and
wisdome
.
In
the
midst
of
this
iollity
,
new
supplies
out
of
England
gaue
more
aire
to
successe
,
which
had
beene
so
long
smoothered
betweene
malignant
circumstances
of
time
,
and
ill
conditions
of
men
deuoted
to
priuate
ends
.
For
this
is
most
certaine
,
that
in
the
vncertainty
of
our
preuailing
,
when
the
gouernment
of
Ireland
seemed
layd
at
the
stake
,
howeuer
the
better
sort
kept
correspondency
with
vs
,
and
professed
a
kinde
of
glory
in
participating
with
our
misfortunes
,
yet
did
they
vnderhand
not
onely
releeue
Tyrone
,
but
contracted
for
their
owne
security
,
if
any
alteration
should
chance
;
yea
,
in
some
of
our
extremities
,
they
behaued
themselues
so
audaciously
,
and
yet
with
an
vntoward
policy
,
that
when
they
were
sent
for
to
march
with
the
army
,
they
made
dilatory
excuses
,
and
many
times
denied
such
attendance
,
as
if
they
had
businesse
sufficient
to
keepe
their
owne
territories
from
robbery
and
spoiles
.
But
our
worthy
Deputy
againe
,
with
these
new
troops
,
he
vndertooke
the
iourney
of
the
Moiry
,
three
miles
beyond
Dondalk
:
and
attempted
an
impetuous
assault
,
which
continued
with
many
dangerous
and
violent
skirmishes
.
For
his
horse
was
shot
vnder
him
,
his
Secretary
slaine
by
him
,
his
friends
wounded
,
and
diuers
Commanders
hurt
;
yet
he
endured
all
,
and
the
God
of
heauen
endured
him
,
so
that
at
the
last
,
with
a
memorable
slaughter
and
fortunate
victory
,
hee
enforced
them
from
his
fastnesse
.
Presently
finding
sweet
beginnings
to
breath
life
into
actions
,
he
marched
to
Armagh
,
and
tumbled
those
hindrances
on
to
side
,
which
had
made
that
passage
so
noysome
,
and
because
he
would
maintaine
an
old
position
:
Non
minor
est
virtus
,
quam
quaerere
,
parta
tueri
:
He
built
a
fort
called
Mount
Norris
,
within
eight
miles
of
the
Newry
,
and
in
a
manner
the
mid-way
to
Armagh
,
in
honour
of
that
worthy
Generall
,
vnder
whom
he
was
introducted
on
the
martiall
theater
.
In
his
returne
(
passing
ouer
many
light
skirmishes
)
neere
vnto
Carlingford
,
hee
preuailed
with
a
memorable
defeature
of
the
rest
,
and
so
stored
the
castles
with
strong
wards
,
making
the
narrow
water
passible
,
and
sending
the
pestilent
Kerne
lurking
in
euery
corner
,
to
seeke
for
better
shelter
.
For
these
new
and
terrible
stormes
,
had
shattered
their
olde
couerts
,
and
almost
beaten
them
to
peeces
ouer
their
heads
.
Not
long
after
,
in
the
midst
of
winter
,
he
coasted
into
the
Glins
by
Dublin
,
where
Donnell-Spaniah-Phelin
,
and
Raymond-Mac-Feugh
,
with
that
pestilent
rabble
of
O-Tooles
,
held
such
a
quarter
,
that
no
man
before
him
had
either
leisure
to
disranke
them
,
or
sufficient
forces
to
raise
them
from
their
firmnesse
:
these
yet
he
subdued
,
reduced
,
and
led
them
by
strong
hand
to
such
a
way
of
obedience
,
that
Sir
Henry
Harrington
vnder
him
went
quietly
to
Newcastle
,
and
had
the
principall
command
ouer
them
;
yea
,
I
can
assure
you
were
glad
to
be
inuited
to
the
pleasures
of
his
peace
and
entertainment
,
and
Raymond-Mac-Feugh
,
as
I
take
it
,
was
his
tenant
for
Baltinglas
,
and
gloried
in
nothing
more
,
then
that
hee
had
sworne
himselfe
a
true
subiect
to
the
Maiestie
of
England
.
Lastly
,
he
hasted
into
Feriall
,
where
the
Rebell
Tirrell
was
pulled
out
of
his
darke
corners
into
the
open
light
of
discomfiture
,
and
in
the
end
compelled
into
Vlster
,
to
the
great
Commander
of
their
facinorous
enterprizes
,
whither
his
Lordship
followed
with
admiration
,
and
preuailed
with
all
the
aduantages
of
a
fortunate
Captaine
.
For
,
in
truth
,
he
attempted
nothing
▪
but
preuailed
:
and
with
the
Centurion
in
the
Gospell
,
said
to
this
man
,
go
;
and
he
went
:
to
that
,
do
this
;
and
he
did
it
:
so
that
if
a
man
would
then
haue
catalogued
his
particular
,
hee
might
thus
haue
set
downe
the
Items
of
his
account
,
which
I
am
the
bolder
to
doe
,
because
I
cannot
incurre
the
imputation
of
flattery
,
not
a
man
remaining
,
that
I
know
,
to
reward
me
,
nor
will
not
obscure
the
worthinesse
of
vertue
in
a
Generall
so
compleat
and
well
assisted
by
all
the
properties
of
honour
and
renowne
.
First
then
,
(
yet
I
doe
not
presume
of
order
,
nor
tie
my selfe
to
the
strictnesse
of
time
)
hee
conquered
the
Feriall
,
by
the
death
of
the
two
sonnes
of
Euer-Mac-Codey
.
Hee
subdued
the
Rebels
of
the
Fuse
,
and
receiued
to
grace
Turlogh-Mac-Henry
:
he
laid
open
the
Breny
,
and
taught
vs
a
way
to
march
ouer
their
boggs
,
yea
to
bring
our
cannons
ouer
their
deepest
mires
,
as
my selfe
was
an
eye-witnesse
in
Conagh
before
O-Kellies
owne
castle
:
he
restored
Tredagh
,
and
made
those
vnconstant
people
ashamed
of
their
willingnesse
to
become
hispaniolized
:
hee
reduced
Leiale
,
pardoning
Magennis
that
vsurped
there
,
and
set
open
their
prowdest
fastnes
:
yea
,
their
paces
and
mountaines
were
made
easie
,
in
despight
of
natures
difficulties
and
mens
policies
:
hee
tooke
to
mercy
Mac-Mahond
,
and
the
O-Realies
,
knighting
that
olde
Sr.
Patrick
O-Hanland
,
and
corroborating
all
their
loues
as
farre
as
he
went
:
hee
expelled
the
Rebells
from
Armagh
,
fortifying
the
same
with
English
,
and
came
to
Blackwater
Sconce
,
where
Tirone
was
very
cunningly
encamped
:
but
arsdeluditur
arte
,
and
he
remooued
him
in
despight
,
casting
vp
more
sufficient
trenches
,
and
left
it
once
againe
in
the
fast
holding
armes
of
Captaine
Th:
Williams
:
hee
made
Lease
and
Ophaly
proud
of
their
peace
and
prosperity
:
so
that
the
Inhabitants
still
gathered
themselues
vnder
the
couert
of
English
protection
:
he
set
open
the
Glins
,
and
made
the
Brens
and
Tooles
,
with
other
inficious
Rebells
ashamed
to
put
any
confidence
in
deuices
,
or
reaches
of
mens
braines
.
For
God
had
ordained
the
pride
of
life
,
to
be
subiect
to
alteration
,
and
the
presumption
of
men
to
bee
patible
of
counterchecking
.
To
conclude
,
in
a
word
,
howeuer
other
men
were
vertue-worthy
,
and
valiant
enough
:
yet
this
our
Lord
Montioy
was
questionlesse
more
fortunate
,
as
wee
are
sensible
of
that
terme
,
then
any
man
since
Sr.
Henry
Sidney's
times
,
yet
I
may
not
ouerpasse
that
memorable
Lord
Grey
,
whose
noble
spirit
seemed
to
flie
in
the
face
of
his
enemies
,
and
dimmed
the
sight
of
the
Spanyards
in
Smirwick
and
other
places
of
Ireland
,
who
had
in
those
times
a
determination
to
pry
into
euery
corner
of
the
Countrey
,
and
settle
the
authority
of
their
great
Master
amongst
vs
,
if
it
were
possible
.
Thus
Fortune
ashamed
of
her
first
churlish
entertainment
,
welcommed
him
to
the
pleasures
of
a
more
conuenient
lodging
,
and
gaue
vs
all
hope
of
his
perpetuity
in
the
palace
of
reputation
,
which
in
that
manner
,
as
you
haue
heard
,
hee
tooke
possession
of
.
Tirone
,
notwithstanding
,
was
not
altogether
exanimated
:
for
what
he
could
not
with
the
lyons
,
her
performed
with
the
foxes
skin
,
and
according
to
an
olde
filthy
principle
:
Tutum
per
scelera
sceleribus
est
iter
:
He
cared
not
what
course
he
tooke
,
or
tracke
hee
paced
in
,
so
England
might
be
disturbed
,
and
his
owne
fortunes
and
greatnesse
maintained
:
whereupon
,
as
in
many
places
you
haue
heard
,
hee
tampered
with
Spaine
for
the
corroborating
his
power
,
and
imploying
many
Agents
,
who
brought
the
Popes
letters
to
the
same
purpose
,
effected
thus
much
;
that
money
was
sent
him
,
as
a
preparation
,
and
money
should
follow
,
as
a
full
purgation
of
the
diseases
of
his
discontentment
,
which
made
him
stand
the
more
remote
from
reconciliation
,
&
vilipend
my
Lord
Deputy
,
as
the
Substitute
of
England
,
whom
yet
he
honoured
and
admired
,
as
the
indefatigable
seruant
of
honour
,
which
Epitheton
I
must
needs
vse
,
because
howeuer
iolly
spirits
,
viewing
onely
city
musters
,
cry
out
,
Dulce
bellum
inexpertis
,
—
Yet
in
the
worthinesse
of
fearefull
imployment
,
is
this
an
occupation
beyond
report
,
and
no
Labourer
,
Pioner
,
or
Artificer
in
any
mechanicke
trade
,
did
euer
take
such
paines
,
as
my
Lord
:
but
I
may
well
say
with
the
Poet
,
Hectora
quis
nosset
?
foelix
si
Troia
fuisset
?
Ardua
per
preceps
gloria
tendit
iter
:
For
amongst
other
vertues
in
a
Generall
,
patience
and
perseuerance
are
the
true
touch-stones
of
the
currantnesse
of
the
rest
:
now
because
fortune
would
needs
search
him
throughly
,
to
make
triall
of
his
constancy
,
or
to
increase
his
glory
,
the
certainty
of
the
Spanyards
landing
in
Munster
,
and
onely
life
of
Tirones
whole
actions
,
taxed
him
with
further
businesse
,
and
fixed
all
the
eyes
of
the
Kingdome
,
both
honest
and
irresolute
,
vpon
his
proceedings
heerein
,
and
hopefull
successe
to
preuaile
vnexpected
.
But
how
in
this
negotiation
a
Spanyard
designed
by
the
Pope
to
be
Archbishop
of
Dublin
,
the
Bishop
of
Clenfart
,
the
Bishop
of
Killalow
,
and
Arthur
a
Iesuite
,
with
Owen
were
employed
:
How
the
landing
at
Carlingford
,
or
some
ports
of
the
North
onely
aduantagious
to
the
proiect
of
the
conquest
of
the
whole
Kingdome
,
was
proposed
most
befitting
this
purpose
:
How
Don
Iohn
de
Aquila
Zerigo
,
and
6000.
souldiers
,
attempted
this
inuasion
,
the
first
taking
Kinsale
by
composition
,
the
other
fortifying
Beerhauen
,
Castlehauen
,
and
Baltimore
:
How
they
sent
away
their
owne
ships
,
either
fearing
our
surprizing
,
or
assuring
their
company
,
there
was
no
meanes
of
escape
,
or
retiring
backe
againe
:
How
all
Ireland
was
amazed
,
and
those
which
wished
vs
well
in
their
hearts
,
were
yet
confounded
with
the
report
of
Spaines
ouerprized
greatnesse
:
How
we
thickned
our selues
into
a
clowd
of
opposition
,
by
gathering
all
the
airy
vapors
of
our
forces
,
or
at
least
so
many
,
as
might
be
spared
to
make
the
storme
the
greater
:
How
we
encamped
before
Kinsale
,
and
at
one
time
(
when
Sr.
George
Cary
Lord
Gouernour
of
Munster
,
was
appoynted
to
intercept
,
or
(
if
you
will
)
to
ouerview
Tirones
passages
,
comming
forward
with
great
iollity
to
ioyn
with
these
Spanyards
)
were
not
so
many
in
our
trenches
without
,
as
the
enemy
numbred
in
Kinsale
within
:
How
at
last
Tirone
(
Tirone
I
say
)
with
6000.
foot
,
&
600.
horse
,
came
forward
within
the
view
of
our
camp
,
to
vnite
their
forces
together
,
&
exasperated
our
displeasure
with
many
outcries
&
branado's
:
How
Sr.
Henry
Dauers
General
of
our
horse
,
made
a
gallant
sally
against
him
,
till
according
to
their
accustomed
shuffling
,
they
retired
into
a
wood
:
How
the
Queens
ships
blocked
vp
the
hauen
at
Kinsale
,
and
Sir
Richard
Luson
in
person
assaulted
Zerigo
&
2000.
Spanyards
,
stuffed
in
the
seuerall
castles
and
harbours
of
Beerhauen
,
Castlehauen
,
and
Baltimore
,
as
formerly
recited
,
and
battered
the
walls
so
forcibly
from
his
ships
(
the
hauens
lying
so
commodiously
for
the
purpose
)
that
the
enemy
wondred
at
his
worthinesse
,
and
thought
that
their
Lady
of
Heauen
was
willing
to
affect
vs
on
earth
.
Howeuer
foureteene
seuerall
sallies
and
skirmishes
to
blocke
vp
our
cannons
,
and
defeat
our
approaches
,
impetuously
draue
vs
to
encounters
,
on
Christmas
euen
a
most
memorable
victory
chanced
on
our
side
:
How
,
for
many
dayes
together
,
it
lightned
and
thundred
accordingly
,
as
if
the
stones
from
heauen
should
fall
on
Sisera's
head
on
our
behalfe
:
How
that
worthy
Earle
of
Clenricard
was
knighted
onely
of
all
the
army
before
the
walls
of
Kinsale
,
when
the
Spanyards
colours
formerly
surprized
,
were
flourished
as
a
token
of
thanksgiuing
for
so
prosperous
successe
:
How
my
Lord
of
Tomond
,
and
many
worthy
Gentlemen
of
his
Countrey
lay
close
vnto
the
towne
,
and
in
our
last
approaches
,
sued
for
the
honour-poynt
,
as
we
tearme
it
,
to
assault
the
same
after
the
battery
:
How
the
Spanyard
on
the
New-yeeres
day
following
,
sent
their
Drum
Maior
to
entreat
a
parlee
,
and
afterward
grew
to
a
composition
:
How
at
last
they
departed
,
and
were
shipped
by
vs
vnder
the
ouer-looking
of
Captaine
Cotes
,
who
set
safe
on
shore
Don
Iohn
de
Aquila
,
and
the
rest
at
the
Groine
:
How
the
Irish
retired
,
dispersing
themselues
into
their
seuerall
fastnesse
and
couerts
:
I
will
not
heere
enlarge
,
because
you
haue
many
discourses
,
and
a
iournall
written
to
the
same
purpose
.
You
shall
onely
now
bee
certified
,
what
this
angry
Ionas
did
,
after
his
gourd
was
withered
,
and
how
with
others
of
that
sort
,
he
drenched
himselfe
in
the
whirlepoole
of
confusion
,
when
his
Spanish
props
were
shrunke
,
or
bladders
taken
away
.
His
first
retreat
was
into
such
countryes
,
and
to
such
persons
,
as
he
was
sure
of
releefe
,
both
from
the
nature
of
charity
and
commiseration
,
and
the
bond
of
duty
and
former
gratuity
;
from
whence
with
some
adoe
,
(
because
his
souldiers
were
rather
men
looking
after
a
prey
,
then
subiect
to
the
disaster
of
a
defeat
)
hee
got
home
againe
with
little
interception
of
our
side
,
the
army
as
yet
resident
at
Corcke
,
or
thereabouts
,
but
when
he
came
to
Dungannon
,
the
walls
seemed
to
weepe
for
his
disaster
,
that
well
hoped
to
haue
beene
new
coloured
with
the
trophees
of
his
rebellion
.
My
Lord
Deputy
returned
to
Dublin
.
and
as
it
was
requisite
and
most
necessary
,
celebrated
St.
Georges
Feast
,
and
by
way
of
thanksgiuing
welcommed
all
the
Gentlemen
of
the
Pale
,
who
durst
not
but
giue
God
the
praise
,
and
him
the
renowne
of
the
victory
:
by
which
occasion
Tirones
proceedings
had
no
such
couerture
,
but
they
all
(
as
it
were
)
in
a
glasse
,
saw
the
change
and
alteration
of
fortune
,
making
this
vse
thereof
,
that
there
is
no
confidence
in
worldly
prosperity
;
Nor
must
a
man
be
too
much
elated
,
though
terrestriall
blessings
seeme
to
make
his
cup
to
ouerflow
.
For
the
man
,
that
of
late
proclaimed
himselfe
Protector
of
the
ancient
liberty
of
Ireland
,
and
Defender
of
the
Romish
Religion
,
that
for
the
same
purpose
led
whole
armies
into
the
field
,
and
displayed
the
coulours
of
a
most
dangerous
innouation
:
that
posted
and
reposted
through
the
Kingdome
at
his
pleasure
,
as
if
Maiesty
meant
to
kisse
him
in
the
chaire
of
successe
:
that
was
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
his
owne
people
,
famous
to
other
Nations
,
and
a
very
terrour
to
the
English
Inhabitants
of
Ireland
:
that
was
coadiuted
with
the
purse
,
nauy
,
countenance
,
and
an
army
of
six
thousand
well
appoynted
souldiers
from
a
mighty
Prince
:
that
was
emboldned
with
the
loue
and
admiration
of
his
own
followers
:
that
tooke
aduantage
of
our
first
slacke
proceedings
to
debilitate
his
insolence
,
and
that
promised
himselfe
the
very
harbour
of
felicity
,
as
being
in
the
high
way
of
establishment
;
was
now
subiect
to
distresse
,
and
bowed
vnder
the
burthen
of
mischance
,
and
vntoward
alteration
.
For
my
Lord
Deputy
presently
followed
him
into
his
owne
countrey
,
and
,
as
I
remember
the
brauery
of
Charles
the
fifth
,
vpon
his
writing
of
Plus
vltra
,
when
the
West
Indies
were
discouered
,
where
as
before
the
great
Hercules
had
set
vp
his
pillers
at
Gades
in
Spaine
,
with
this
inscription
:
Non
plus
vltra
:
so
may
I
apply
it
vnto
this
our
Generall
,
who
comming
now
to
Blackwater
Fort
,
cried
Plus
vltra
,
wheras
before
none
of
our
Deputies
could
euer
step
three
miles
beyond
:
But
Montioy
mounted
with
ioy
euen
to
the
walls
of
Dung●nnon
,
and
pitched
his
tents
in
the
fields
of
Tirone
,
expelling
the
great
Rebell
from
his
owne
house
,
and
taking
possession
of
the
same
,
and
all
the
territories
,
for
the
vse
of
the
Queene
his
Mistresse
:
and
although
in
a
perillous
encounter
by
the
Lough
,
attempting
to
sapp
the
strong
castle
of
the
same
,
well
stored
with
Rebells
,
he
lost
that
valiant
kinsman
of
his
Sr.
Iohn
Barkley
Sergeant
Maior
,
of
whose
worthinesse
one
of
the
starrs
of
our
Countrey
,
George
Earle
of
Cumberland
,
had
good
experience
in
his
voyage
to
St.
Port
Ricco
:
yet
apprehending
the
chance
of
warre
,
and
condition
of
mortality
,
he
was
no
whit
affrighted
or
troubled
;
but
rather
exasperated
to
reuenge
:
whereupon
he
set
fire
of
their
cabbins
and
townes
,
entred
the
very
castle
of
Dungannon
,
rifled
the
same
,
and
although
hee
was
wronged
with
a
strange
report
of
obtaining
great
treasure
,
yet
I
beleeue
he
brought
home
one
little
guilt
bason
and
eure
of
siluer
,
a
madder
tipped
with
siluer
and
guilt
,
and
some
rotten
hangings
,
more
memorable
for
a
trophee
,
then
seruiceable
for
any
glorious
vse
.
In
the
fulnes
of
this
prosperity
,
he
built
the
Fort
of
Mountioy
,
&
fortified
in
many
places
of
this
dangerous
country
,
driuing
him
with
the
rest
of
his
followers
into
more
remote
places
▪
and
the
obscure
corners
of
his
Glan
Cancones
,
to
which
when
he
added
the
cutting
vp
of
the
corn
,
which
the
cheerefull
souldiers
performed
with
their
swords
,
and
taking
away
their
cowes
,
of
which
they
had
good
store
,
it
is
admirable
to
tell
you
what
miseries
followed
,
and
the
whole
people
endured
.
For
their
sword-men
perished
with
sicknesse
and
famine
the
next
yeere
following
,
and
the
poore
Calliots
deuoured
one
another
for
meere
hunger
,
and
shewed
vs
the
lamentable
effects
of
a
calamitous
warre
and
afflicted
Countrey
.
Thus
was
Tirone
made
the
tennis-ball
of
fortune
,
and
abandoned
of
Spaines
ouerprized
greatnesse
:
thus
did
hee
see
the
losse
of
his
armies
,
and
the
miseries
of
his
people
:
thus
was
he
deiected
from
the
pride
of
his
possessions
,
and
repined
to
behold
his
aduersary
seated
in
his
castles
and
townes
:
thus
was
hee
forsaken
of
his
friends
,
kinred
,
and
complices
,
and
confined
into
the
vncouth
and
remote
places
of
his
bogs
and
woods
:
thus
was
hee
afraid
of
betraying
,
euen
of
those
which
leaned
on
his
bosome
▪
especially
when
the
state
bandited
him
,
and
valued
his
head
at
a
thousand
pound
sterling
,
and
his
body
aliue
at
two
thousand
pound
:
and
thus
was
hee
made
the
scorne
of
alteration
,
and
spectacle
of
humane
condition
,
hauing
nothing
left
but
a
poore
disconsolate
life
,
which
it
should
seeme
the
Law
of
nature
assisted
him
to
maintaine
,
otherwise
a
Romane
spirit
,
in
spight
of
mischance
,
had
ouercome
distresse
with
a
glorious
death
.
But
time
had
not
fully
ripened
as
yet
his
fruit
,
nor
brought
forward
the
haruest
,
that
should
gather
in
this
dispersed
corne
:
For
this
great
tormented
Rebell
,
with
strange
demisnesse
,
sought
his
peace
at
the
hands
of
his
long
abused
Soueraigne
,
&
with
new
teares
begged
a
new
life
,
nor
was
this
submission
ordinary
after
the
custom
of
a
souldiers
misfortune
▪
but
(
as
it
were
)
blotted
with
the
spots
of
a
guilty
conscience
,
&
interlined
with
a
strange
manner
of
feareful
penitency
,
repleat
with
execrations
against
the
cause
of
his
misleading
,
and
terrors
of
his
offence
,
not
without
teares
from
his
eyes
,
drops
of
bloud
from
his
heart
,
and
curses
from
his
very
soule
,
in
demonstration
of
his
remorse
,
with
protestations
of
better
conformity
,
with
vowes
and
dangerous
oaths
for
his
loyalty
,
with
confident
assurances
for
his
obedience
,
and
with
all
the
cunning
that
art
,
meanes
,
circumstances
,
and
insinuation
accustometh
in
attracting
pardon
.
This
strange
newes
was
nothing
acceptable
to
her
Maiesty
:
For
shee
had
rather
haue
seene
his
body
on
the
ground
headlesse
,
then
himselfe
succourlesse
and
on
his
knees
begging
of
pardon
,
because
my
Lord
of
Essex
had
promised
as
much
,
and
out
of
her
owne
greatnesse
,
shee
scorned
to
bee
so
affronted
with
a
subiect
,
and
naked
Rebell
,
as
she
might
well
terme
him
:
yea
,
the
Councell
of
her
State
had
many
times
vrged
the
facility
of
the
matter
,
and
suggested
against
my
Lord
of
Essex
,
by
way
of
exaggerating
his
offences
,
with
this
one
slacknesse
in
the
midst
of
his
troubles
:
so
that
now
to
take
him
to
mercy
,
after
so
much
treasure
disbursed
,
so
many
subiects
slaine
,
so
vntoward
disturbance
renewed
,
so
wonderfull
reports
dispersed
,
so
famous
an
action
discredited
,
and
in
a
word
,
the
whole
frame
of
her
gouernment
abused
;
was
an
vnsauoury
demand
,
&
absolutely
contrary
to
her
expectation
,
especially
when
shee
had
beene
wrought
to
the
permission
of
her
copper
treasure
in
Ireland
,
esteemed
the
breake-necke
of
the
Rebells
designes
,
and
a
meere
demonstration
of
our
wants
in
England
.
But
when
the
Councell
vrged
the
necessity
of
the
time
,
the
situation
of
the
Countrey
,
the
fearefulnesse
of
further
mischeefe
,
the
inconueniences
of
new
troubles
,
the
threatning
of
the
Spanyard
,
the
new
intercession
of
the
Papists
for
another
inuasion
,
the
discontents
of
the
Irish
themselues
,
for
all
these
triumphs
:
her
princely
disposition
was
ouerwrought
to
a
reflecting
commiseration
▪
so
that
against
the
customes
of
incensed
Maiesty
,
shee
admitted
of
his
prostituted
homage
,
and
with
some
wonderment
at
the
wretchednesse
of
Traytours
,
and
vicissitude
of
all
things
,
she
gaue
way
to
his
restitution
,
with
directions
to
the
Deputy
,
to
entertaine
him
accordingly
,
so
he
made
sute
for
the
same
,
and
that
it
might
appeare
to
the
world
,
she
was
an
absolute
Queene
of
her
Kingdomes
,
and
howeuer
Rebells
might
haue
ttayterous
hearts
supported
by
forrain
coadiutement
,
yet
could
no
subiect
haue
powerfull
hands
to
pull
the
peace
of
her
kingdomes
in
peeces
,
or
touch
the
skirts
of
her
throne
to
disturb
her
in
her
established
mightinesse
.
When
Tirone
vnderstood
,
that
he
must
alter
his
compasse
,
and
turne
his
sailes
to
another
coast
,
hee
then
imployed
his
brother
Arthur
Mac
Baron
,
and
others
of
the
best
of
his
family
,
and
neerest
of
his
affinity
,
as
Agents
of
his
peace
and
protection
,
who
diuers
times
repulsed
,
when
remembrance
layd
open
his
former
exorbitant
actions
,
desisted
not
yet
from
excuses
of
precedent
occurrences
,
and
forcible
intimation
of
the
necessity
of
his
present
actions
,
nor
left
they
out
the
true
manner
of
his
now
penitency
,
and
all
their
willingnesse
to
make
him
,
as
it
were
,
a
new
creature
,
and
vnite
themselues
in
one
combination
for
the
acknowledging
the
superiority
of
England
:
whereby
at
last
that
obdurate
heart
of
our
Deputy
,
which
at
first
seemed
impenetrable
,
was
deflected
and
cast
in
a
more
gentle
molde
,
so
that
he
appoynted
Mellifant
by
Tredagh
,
where
Sir
Garret
Moore
was
resident
,
to
bee
the
schoole
house
of
his
conformity
,
and
place
without
other
condition
,
then
submitting
to
the
Queenes
mercy
,
to
admit
of
his
repentance
:
whither
,
at
the
time
appointed
,
resorted
our
noble
Lord
Deputy
well
attended
,
for
the
better
grace
of
his
eminent
greatnesse
,
and
the
person
he
presented
:
thither
came
also
Tirone
with
some
few
Lords
of
the
North
,
a
spectacle
of
mischance
and
terrour
to
the
pride
of
man
,
who
supposeth
glory
and
ostentation
the
felicity
of
this
world
,
or
presumeth
on
wealth
and
authority
,
the
very
poison
of
our
best
endeauours
:
Nor
was
it
with
him
,
as
I
remember
the
excusing
Poet
in
his
disticke
touching
offenders
cries
out
:
Confugit
interdum
templi
violator
ad
aram
,
Nec
petere
offensi
niminis
horret
opem
:
For
,
as
the
case
stood
,
his
offence
and
fault
was
the
more
hainous
and
condemnatory
,
because
his
Prince
was
a
woman
,
and
one
to
whom
he
had
diuers
times
been
beholding
for
his
life
,
and
in
the
doubtfulnesse
of
his
first
admission
to
his
enheritances
,
saw
the
dore
of
her
treasury
and
magnificent
bounty
set
open
for
him
.
But
to
the
purpose
.
At
the
first
entrance
into
the
roome
,
euen
at
the
threshold
of
the
doore
,
hee
prostrated
himselfe
groueling
to
the
earth
,
with
such
a
deiected
countenance
,
that
the
standers
by
were
amazed
,
and
my
Lord
Deputy
himselfe
had
much
a
doe
to
remember
the
worke
in
hand
.
For
whether
the
sight
of
so
many
Captaines
and
Gentlemen
,
whether
ashamed
of
himselfe
,
when
he
saw
such
a
number
of
his
owne
nation
spectators
of
his
wretchednesse
,
whether
the
consideration
of
his
fortunes
,
that
had
thus
embased
him
contrary
to
expectation
:
whether
the
view
of
my
Lord
to
be
his
Iudge
,
whom
once
he
reputed
to
be
at
his
mercy
:
whether
hee
repented
this
course
of
submission
,
and
degenerating
begging
of
life
,
when
a
noble
death
had
beene
both
honourable
,
and
the
determiner
of
misery
:
or
whether
mans
naturall
imperfection
,
to
bee
confounded
and
altred
with
affliction
,
depressed
his
spirits
,
I
know
not
,
but
it
was
one
of
the
deplorablest
sights
that
euer
I
saw
:
and
to
looke
vpon
such
a
person
,
the
author
of
so
much
trouble
,
and
so
formerly
glorious
,
so
deiected
,
would
haue
wrought
many
changes
in
the
stoutest
heart
,
and
did
no
doubt
at
this
instant
raise
a
certain
commiseration
in
his
greatest
aduersary
.
After
a
while
the
Deputy
beckned
him
to
come
neere
:
beleeue
it
,
hee
arose
:
but
with
such
degrees
of
humility
,
as
if
misfortune
had
taught
him
cunning
to
grace
his
aduersity
.
For
he
passed
not
two
steps
,
before
hee
yeelded
to
a
new
prostitution
,
which
might
well
bee
called
a
groueling
to
the
ground
,
and
so
,
by
diuided
ceremonies
,
fell
on
his
knees
,
beginning
an
apology
for
some
of
his
actions
,
but
at
euery
word
confessing
,
in
how
many
treasons
hee
had
plunged
himselfe
,
offending
God
and
her
Maiesty
,
how
hee
had
abused
her
fauours
,
disturbed
her
Kingdome
,
disobeyed
her
lawes
,
wronged
her
subiects
,
abandoned
all
ciuility
,
and
wrapped
himselfe
in
the
very
tarriers
of
destruction
;
so
that
nothing
remained
,
but
to
flie
to
the
refuge
of
her
Princely
clemency
,
which
had
so
often
restored
both
his
life
and
honour
.
Heere
my
Lord
Deputy
intercepted
his
oratory
,
with
disclaiming
all
circumlocution
,
or
defence
of
the
courses
he
had
so
disorderly
vndertaken
;
nay
,
he
would
not
heare
a
word
of
iustifying
his
dependancy
on
Spaine
,
or
admission
of
that
enmity
toward
England
,
withall
applying
some
instructions
worthy
so
great
a
Commanders
name
,
intermingled
with
reprehensions
full
of
authority
&
eloquence
,
he
admitted
him
to
stand
neerer
,
and
(
after
an
houre
or
more
)
gaue
him
leaue
to
be
couered
,
vsing
him
with
honourable
respect
,
both
at
his
bord
&
priuate
conferences
,
and
so
within
two
daies
brought
him
as
a
trophe
of
his
victories
into
Dublin
,
with
a
full
resolution
to
carry
him
into
England
,
and
present
him
to
her
Maiestie
.
But
now
is
the
Sunne
of
that
glory
ecclipsed
,
and
the
Diuine
prouidence
thought
it
meet
to
take
her
into
his
owne
protection
.
For
after
she
had
liued
and
raigned
,
to
the
admiration
of
all
nations
,
and
filled
the
world
with
the
fame
of
her
vertues
foure
and
forty
yeeres
,
and
renowne
of
life
three-score
and
ten
,
shee
was
ordained
for
a
better
Kingdome
,
and
the
foure
and
twenty
day
of
March
1602.
went
to
take
possession
of
it
.
My
Lord
had
notice
long
before
of
her
decaying
,
which
peraduenture
was
an
incitation
the
rather
for
the
taking
in
of
Tirone
,
though
he
vnderstood
not
so
much
.
So
this
great
Queene
,
the
Wonder
of
Time
,
the
Admiration
of
her
Sex
,
the
Help
of
all
Nations
,
the
Princesse
of
Fame
,
the
Mistrisse
of
Honour
,
the
Terror
of
Antechrist
,
and
the
Commandrix
of
Fortune
,
left
her
name
euerlasting
,
and
dignity
vnmatchable
.
For
(
beleeue
it
)
what
forraine
Prince
soeuer
,
more
then
to
admire
her
,
shall
striue
to
imitate
her
,
will
but
wrong
Maiesty
,
and
discouer
this
imperfection
,
that
emulation
is
comitant
to
vertue
,
and
when
wee
cannot
attaine
to
the
transcendency
of
anothers
excellency
,
wee
fall
to
vilipending
the
worth
,
and
malicious
calumniation
of
the
goodnes
:
and
heerein
let
England
reioyce
,
that
the
starre
of
dignity
,
and
fame
of
those
times
,
was
set
vnder
her
climate
by
her
death
,
and
in
her
life
she
treasured
such
iewels
of
estimation
,
that
the
storehouses
of
other
palaces
could
not
discouer
,
or
shew
the
like
.
As
for
Rome
,
and
some
defamatory
inuentions
of
Spaine
;
the
poyson
hath
returned
to
their
owne
preiudice
,
like
him
which
spitting
against
the
winde
,
found
his
face
besmeered
with
the
reflexion
.
For
,
the
better
sort
both
misliked
Parsons
and
other
English
Priests
,
in
their
degenerating
inuectiues
,
and
stopped
the
mouths
of
inferiours
,
for
once
breathing
amisse
against
her
Maiesty
,
which
makes
mee
remember
a
worthy
reprehension
of
Count
Mansfield
toward
Captaine
Rowland
Yorke
,
forbidding
him
some
loosnesse
of
speech
against
his
Queene
,
and
when
he
transgressed
further
in
vndecencies
of
fault-finding
,
both
with
the
gouernment
and
life
of
her
Maiesty
:
in
plainer
termes
he
assured
him
,
that
the
customs
of
his
table
wold
admit
of
no
irregular
behauior
against
Princes
:
Nor
can
I
forget
Duke
Byrons
admiration
,
who
at
his
returne
into
France
,
plainely
diuulged
,
that
the
Court
of
England
spred
abroad
the
coulours
of
Maiesty
indeed
,
and
all
others
were
but
a
heap
of
confusion
,
and
diseased
mixture
of
vnseemely
familiarity
.
But
this
is
a
digression
:
for
mine
own
part
therefore
I
will
onely
blesse
her
vnimitable
renowne
,
and
end
with
the
Poet
:
O
quam
te
memorem
virgo
!
Namque
haud
tibi
vultus
Mortalis
!
nec
vox
hominum
sonat
ô
Deo
certè
.
And
so
to
our
Irish
businesse
againe
.
They
which
write
of
the
nature
of
things
,
say
plainely
(
which
also
experience
confirmes
)
that
as
there
is
a
sympathy
and
sweet
agreement
in
many
creatures
,
as
beasts
,
plants
,
and
diuers
of
that
sort
:
each
thriuing
the
better
by
the
others
proximity
and
conuersation
:
So
there
is
a
kinde
of
antipathy
and
eternall
loathsomnesse
betweene
creature
and
creature
,
and
many
times
such
an
abhorrency
,
that
the
very
sight
and
intermixture
of
things
breedeth
death
,
or
other
mischeefe
:
Thus
is
it
apparant
in
diuers
plants
growing
neere
the
Eugh
tree
,
which
either
perish
immediately
,
or
wither
by
degrees
,
without
any
prosperity
:
they
which
are
skilfull
in
musique
say
,
that
the
strings
of
wolues
&
sheep
make
a
discord
,
and
will
neuer
effect
either
Diapason
or
harmony
.
It
is
recorded
,
that
when
Eteocles
and
Pollinices
the
sonnes
of
Oedipus
were
burned
,
after
they
had
slaine
one
another
,
according
to
the
solemnity
of
sacrifices
in
those
dayes
,
the
very
flame
diuided
it selfe
,
shewing
that
the
hate
lasted
in
death
,
which
could
not
be
reconciled
in
life
,
and
if
in
any
thing
it
euer
appeared
,
it
was
and
is
most
probable
in
the
nature
and
condition
of
the
Irish
,
and
our selues
.
For
though
they
haue
beene
many
times
reduced
by
conformable
perswasion
,
and
as
many
times
corrected
by
powerfull
castigation
:
yet
nothing
could
detaine
them
within
the
circle
of
obedience
,
or
fasten
them
to
the
dore-post
of
loue
and
duty
:
nor
was
this
the
errour
and
enmity
of
the
North
,
or
(
as
you
terme
it
)
the
wilde
Irish
only
,
but
the
inficious
disposition
of
the
whole
Nation
,
against
whom
Tirone
himselfe
,
in
the
behalfe
of
our
countrey
,
hath
gone
in
person
,
as
in
the
excursions
of
Munster
,
Lease
,
Ophaly
,
Meths
and
Conach
may
appeare
:
yea
,
at
this
instant
,
for
all
the
backe
of
rebellion
seemed
broken
,
and
that
this
great
prop
of
supportation
,
Tirone
,
was
taken
from
them
,
whereby
they
were
past
all
hope
of
coadiutement
,
either
from
him
or
Spaine
:
yet
did
the
poison
of
their
malice
and
despight
burst
out
into
boiles
and
botches
of
deformity
,
by
rebellion
against
the
King
himselfe
,
to
welcome
him
the
better
,
euen
the
first
yeere
of
his
establishment
in
an
vncontroulable
Maiesty
:
all
which
did
questionlesse
arise
from
an
inueterate
hate
,
and
innated
antipathy
against
vs
.
Againe
:
whereas
no
venomous
beast
will
liue
,
nor
is
bred
in
Ireland
,
insomuch
that
Beda
reporteth
,
that
in
those
dayes
,
when
the
I
le
of
Man
bred
a
controuersie
,
to
which
Kingdome
it
did
appertaine
,
whether
England
or
Ireland
,
the
deciding
of
the
same
consisted
in
this
,
to
carry
certain
snakes
and
toades
into
the
Countrey
,
which
if
they
agreed
in
the
same
,
and
did
liue
,
would
easily
approoue
it
English
:
but
if
they
died
and
miscarried
,
then
questionlesse
,
by
naturall
probability
,
Ireland
had
the
propriety
:
wherein
the
Diuine
Prouidence
was
much
glorified
,
that
would
not
altogether
ouer-poyson
a
nation
with
noysome
creatures
and
beasts
,
considering
the
people
were
bad
enough
of
themselues
,
and
had
their
very
blouds
corrupted
with
the
venome
of
malice
,
enuy
,
disdaine
,
pride
and
reuenge
,
euen
against
one
another
;
and
against
vs
(
if
it
were
possible
)
the
very
stones
and
houses
seemed
to
swell
with
mislike
,
and
grow
bigg
againe
with
the
tumors
of
ambitious
rebellion
,
which
more
apparantly
appeared
in
the
treasons
of
diuers
towns
,
by
name
Waterford
,
Corcke
,
and
Limricke
,
who
vpon
the
false
alarum
of
Sr.
Iames
Gouths
warrantize
from
England
,
for
the
toleration
of
religion
,
went
as
freshly
to
masse
,
as
if
the
Pope
himselfe
had
established
his
superstitious
canons
in
the
same
:
Nor
was
this
done
out
of
zeale
or
indirect
deuotion
,
according
to
the
simplicity
of
diuers
,
who
were
willing
to
maintaine
the
Catholique
cause
;
but
with
fury
,
rage
,
and
military
directions
,
these
strong
townes
entertained
a
presumption
of
fortifying
themselues
against
the
power
of
England
.
Whereupon
my
Lord
Deputy
was
compelled
to
leaue
Tirone
to
himselfe
,
with
a
kinde
of
confidence
of
his
loyalty
,
and
politique
directions
for
the
superuizing
of
his
actions
,
and
in
person
went
forward
to
the
suppressing
these
insolencies
,
vnfolding
againe
to
his
great
greefe
and
vnquietnes
the
woond
vp
colours
of
defiances
which
hee
had
supposed
had
beene
layd
aside
for
euer
:
so
that
whole
summer
was
spent
in
vnheard
of
hurliburlies
:
and
his
returne
into
England
procrastinated
for
a
time
:
nor
was
the
busines
so
soone
determined
,
or
the
intricatenesse
of
this
disturbance
so
easily
vntied
,
as
many
imagined
.
For
Waterford
shut
the
gates
,
stood
vpon
their
guard
,
and
denied
him
entrance
with
his
army
,
vntill
exasperated
with
the
displeasure
,
he
read
them
such
a
lesson
of
martiall
discipline
,
that
they
well
vnderstood
a
patard
could
blow
open
their
gates
,
a
mine
or
battery
ouerthrow
their
walls
,
and
such
a
Commander
would
not
bee
dallied
withall
,
when
hee
determined
indeede
to
whip
their
treasons
with
an
imperious
authority
,
and
so
hee
proceeded
accordingly
,
pulling
this
high-looking
head
of
innouation
on
her
knees
,
depressing
the
glory
of
their
Maior
and
gouernment
,
forfetting
their
liberties
to
the
State
,
and
establishing
Sr.
Richard
Monson
in
the
full
authority
of
the
city
,
who
most
iudiciously
for
the
time
committed
the
keyes
of
the
gates
to
the
care
and
valour
of
Captaine
Meres
.
At
Corcke
they
began
more
roughly
,
demolishing
the
new
Fort
which
was
a
building
,
turning
their
ordnance
against
the
castle
of
Shandon
,
which
they
shot
through
,
when
my
Lady
Carey
was
in
it
,
mustring
their
townesmen
,
to
the
number
of
two
thousand
,
one
or
other
,
with
whom
they
resolued
to
man
their
walls
and
defend
their
ports
,
and
proceeded
with
a
sauage
immanity
against
diuers
,
euen
to
the
shedding
of
bloud
,
that
seemed
to
intercept
,
or
bee
angry
with
their
iollity
:
and
for
all
they
had
heard
how
Waterford
was
serued
,
yet
they
durst
say
,
that
Corcke
was
a
stronger
towne
,
better
manned
,
and
so
well
fortified
,
that
they
knew
my
Lord
Deputies
preparations
were
not
able
to
surprize
them
,
which
hastned
his
speedinesse
,
and
encreased
his
anger
,
so
that
they
found
their
abused
presumption
quickly
ouermastred
,
and
besides
those
,
which
were
slaine
in
the
encounters
,
my
Lord
hanged
diuers
,
and
arraigned
both
the
Maior
and
Recorder
vpon
high
treason
,
setting
vpright
againe
both
Shandon
and
the
new
Fort
,
who
at
either
end
of
the
towne
ouerlooke
the
same
,
and
can
by
this
time
batter
their
houses
about
their
eares
,
if
they
doe
but
repine
,
or
whisper
against
them
.
From
hence
hee
marched
to
Limricke
,
but
they
growing
wise
by
other
mens
harmes
,
according
to
that
good
councell
of
Foelix
quem
faciunt
aliena
pericula
cautum
,
welcommed
him
that
would
haue
welcommed
himselfe
,
and
submitted
to
such
directions
,
as
he
enforced
against
them
,
not
without
imprisoning
certaine
Priests
and
factious
Citizens
,
whom
he
detained
in
prison
,
as
he
had
done
in
the
other
places
.
From
hence
he
determined
to
visit
Galloway
,
but
vnderstanding
of
their
conformity
,
hee
put
it
in
the
accounts
of
true
subiects
,
and
reputed
her
as
a
daughter
of
faire
conditions
and
good
behauiour
:
notwithstanding
,
he
came
to
Athlone
,
and
wiping
away
all
aspersions
of
rebellion
,
as
hee
went
,
he
left
them
with
fairer
faces
,
then
they
accustomed
to
haue
:
to
looke
more
cheerefully
on
his
Deputy
Sr.
George
Cary
the
Treasurer
at
warres
,
who
enioying
both
places
,
did
proceede
iudiciously
in
the
ciuill
administration
,
as
little
troubled
with
any
remarkable
innouation
,
the
rest
of
the
time
of
his
commorance
in
the
Countrey
.
The
next
yeere
our
Deputy
prepareth
for
England
,
as
made
one
of
his
Maiesties
Priuy
Councell
,
Lord
Lieutenant
of
Ireland
;
and
within
a
while
created
the
Earle
of
Deuonshire
,
with
some
donation
of
land
,
and
contribution
of
pensions
,
to
the
eternall
honour
of
such
a
Maiesty
,
that
would
not
let
vertue
shed
a
teare
for
sorrow
,
that
she
was
vnrespected
;
&
comfort
of
all
the
monarchy
,
that
were
the
better
animated
to
generous
performances
,
when
they
saw
the
Prince
would
regard
them
.
Thus
is
Tirone
carried
into
England
,
as
the
trophee
of
his
former
endeauours
and
victories
.
But
what
a
terrible
reckoning
the
accounts
of
his
treasons
and
vndutifull
proceedings
summed
together
,
euery
man
can
tell
which
ouerlooked
the
same
.
For
the
peoples
hate
(
as
hee
passed
through
Wales
and
other
places
)
was
so
enflamed
against
him
,
that
the
women
presumed
to
throw
durt
and
stones
at
him
,
and
the
spredding
tree
which
couered
him
,
had
much
adoe
to
ouershadow
and
secure
him
from
the
malice
and
threats
of
such
as
railed
vpon
him
:
yet
with
some
adoe
hath
he
safe
conduct
to
the
Court
,
and
our
worthy
King
looking
on
him
with
the
eyes
of
a
noble
commiseration
,
quickly
welcommed
him
with
cheerefulnesse
,
and
as
quickly
,
by
the
fauour
of
Cyrus
,
returned
him
;
as
the
Iewes
to
build
vp
the
walls
of
broken
and
desolate
Ierusalem
:
so
hee
,
to
reintegrate
his
estate
,
repaire
his
castles
and
townes
,
and
settle
himselfe
in
his
enheritance
,
as
Lieutenant
of
the
Countrey
vnder
the
King
,
and
to
gouerne
the
same
after
the
manner
of
England
.
By
this
time
is
Sr.
Arthur
Chichester
Lord
Deputy
,
who
watched
these
parts
of
the
North
more
narrowly
,
then
any
other
before
him
.
First
,
because
of
his
long
experience
and
residence
amongst
them
,
as
being
Gouernor
of
Knogfergus
,
and
a
laborious
searcher
of
Logh
Con
,
with
all
the
territories
adiacent
.
Secondly
,
in
regard
of
the
way
open
to
the
flourishes
of
peace
▪
when
the
Lords
of
the
North
saw
such
a
vnity
and
consent
of
goodnesse
by
Tirones
remission
.
Thirdly
,
in
regard
of
his
priuate
loue
in
these
parts
,
to
which
was
vnited
a
kind
of
feare
&
obseruation
of
his
vertue
,
he
had
so
demeaned
himselfe
before
,
&
continued
euer
since
.
Last
of
all
,
by
reason
of
straight
directions
from
England
,
to
haue
the
Shires
diuided
with
their
orderly
officers
of
Lieutenants
and
Iustices
of
peace
,
euen
amongst
the
meere
Irish
,
who
neuer
heard
of
such
names
and
gouernment
before
,
to
send
out
Iudges
of
Assise
,
whose
absolute
authority
was
for
the
time
supereminent
aboue
all
others
,
and
to
punish
malefactours
after
our
Law
and
fashion
of
England
,
euen
to
the
terrour
of
the
greatest
,
who
vilipended
the
same
,
or
durst
oppose
against
the
inhibition
to
the
contrary
:
which
when
Tirone
perceiued
must
be
done
indeede
,
hee
liued
more
discontented
then
euer
,
and
fraighted
(
as
it
were
)
with
old
stoage
of
malice
and
enuy
,
studied
euery
houre
how
to
cast
off
this
intolerable
yoake
of
obedience
,
and
not
to
suffer
(
as
he
termed
it
)
another
to
sit
Paramont
in
the
tribunall
of
his
Iudicatures
.
So
that
according
to
our
first
simile
of
Cyrus
returning
the
Iewes
to
Ierusalem
,
you
shall
see
how
he
kept
correspondency
in
the
same
.
The
Iewes
surfeted
of
ease
,
forgat
their
captiuity
,
&
returned
to
lick
vp
the
filth
,
that
their
excesse
had
vomited
;
yea
,
so
exasperated
the
displeasure
of
their
great
and
good
God
,
that
at
last
hee
forsooke
them
indeede
,
and
stretched
the
strong
armes
of
Vespasian
and
Titus
,
to
vnplume
their
iayes
feathers
,
and
throw
them
forsaken
ouer
the
world
like
dispersed
vagabonds
.
Tirone
returneth
home
,
as
you
heard
,
liueth
at
ease
and
pleasure
,
surfetting
of
the
same
,
entertaineth
his
Priests
,
hearkens
to
his
Bards
and
Rimers
,
is
seduced
to
mislike
this
new
gouernment
,
denieth
the
Iudges
of
Assise
entrance
into
his
Countrey
,
contesteth
with
the
Deputy
about
the
same
(
although
he
euer
acknowledged
his
worth
,
and
confessed
that
Sr.
Arthur
Chichester
had
vnited
many
vertues
to
a
Souldiers
name
)
secondeth
the
Earle
of
Terconnel
in
his
repinings
,
and
alloweth
of
Sr.
Caher
Odohordies
contentions
,
maligning
our
forwardnesse
and
successe
,
when
hee
saw
him
lie
bleeding
on
the
ground
,
and
verily
supposed
that
the
burning
of
the
Dery
,
with
the
comming
forward
of
Odonnell
to
forage
the
Countrey
,
would
haue
made
another
Gordion
to
trouble
all
the
Country
again
to
vntie
the
knot
.
But
,
as
God
would
haue
it
,
there
is
another
Alexander
to
fulfill
the
prophesie
,
or
Oedipus
to
dissolue
the
riddle
,
who
with
a
sword
in
his
hand
can
cut
it
in
peeces
,
so
that
these
new
Rebells
are
discomfited
,
and
such
a
blast
of
displeasure
is
blowne
against
Dungannon
,
as
the
North-east
winde
,
that
strucke
the
foure
corners
of
Iobs
eldest
sonnes
house
,
and
quite
ouerthrew
it
,
to
the
destruction
of
the
people
within
.
For
when
my
Lord
Deputy
saw
no
other
remedy
:
but
that
Tamberlaines
blacke
flagg
must
needes
be
set
vp
,
(
the
white
and
the
red
quite
refused
)
he
hasted
with
fire
and
sword
into
the
North
,
and
not
onely
tertified
this
rebellious
Lord
with
all
his
Complices
,
but
compelled
them
to
abandon
their
castles
,
houses
,
and
inheritances
,
taking
absolute
possession
for
his
new
Master
the
King
of
Great
Brittaine
,
and
incorporated
them
to
the
Crowne
so
firmely
and
perpetually
,
that
no
fine
and
recouery
of
their
rebellious
power
should
or
could
disanull
the
contract
,
or
frustrate
the
deed
:
for
England
presently
seased
on
the
same
,
and
like
a
true
Lord
and
powerfull
Commander
,
placed
better
tenants
,
and
diuided
the
Countrey
into
seuerall
mens
hands
;
yea
,
enfeoffed
the
City
of
London
with
such
a
right
,
that
I
am
perswaded
all
the
Irish
in
the
world
,
or
Irish
Coadiutors
will
neuer
be
able
to
wrest
it
out
of
their
hands
.
Tirone
being
thus
made
the
spectacle
of
misery
,
by
the
incitement
of
certaine
Priests
,
flieth
into
Terconnell
,
and
contriueth
with
that
Earle
to
forsake
their
Countrey
,
and
repaire
to
Rome
,
where
they
might
be
sure
to
be
shrowded
vnder
the
Angells
wings
of
the
Castle
St.
Angelo
,
and
blessed
with
the
holy
fathers
entertainment
,
from
the
affronts
of
all
disturbance
,
which
accordingly
with
all
conueniency
they
could
,
they
put
in
practise
,
gathering
together
what
treasure
the
Countrey
affoorded
,
and
so
with
his
wife
and
children
,
Terconnells
wife
and
young
sonne
,
and
some
fifty
persons
or
attendants
they
shipped
themselues
,
and
found
sufficient
friends
and
meanes
to
escape
.
Thus
like
exiles
forsaken
,
dispersed
and
abandoned
,
full
of
horrours
of
a
guilty
conscience
,
vexed
in
soule
by
strange
excruciations
,
tormented
with
feare
of
being
betrayed
at
home
,
abashed
at
the
shame
of
being
entertained
abroad
,
and
affrighted
with
the
disaster
of
their
lamentable
deiection
:
they
are
at
length
compulsed
to
hide
themselues
amongst
the
rotten
reedes
of
Aegypt
,
euen
the
Pope
and
his
Consistory
of
Cardinalls
,
as
in
their
former
determination
:
where
,
how
his
afflictions
encreased
,
and
with
what
vexation
of
spirit
hee
eateth
the
repining
bran
of
other
mens
corne
,
that
might
haue
fed
on
the
fine
flowre
of
his
owne
threshing
;
I
beleeue
most
trauellers
know
,
but
am
assured
some
tremble
to
behold
the
alteration
:
so
that
for
my selfe
,
well
acquainted
with
all
his
entertainments
abroad
,
and
misfortunes
at
home
,
as
knowing
him
in
Ireland
,
and
meeting
him
in
Italy
:
I
may
lawfully
conclude
:
Heu
cadit
in
quenquam
tantum
scelus
!
tanta
iniquitas
!
FINIS
