THE Coppie of a Letter sent from M. Rider , Deane of Saint Patricks , concerning the Newes out of Ireland , and of the Spaniards landing and present estate there .

At London Imprinted for Thomas Man . 1601.

The Coppie of a Letter sent out of Ireland the sixteenth of October . 1601.

THere is landed in Kingsall , twelue miles from Corke , an hundred & twelue miles from Dublin , foure thousand poore sea-beaten Spaniards , fiftie Friers , twelue Nunnes , one hundred Priests , two hundred whores ; so the Popes holines will presently erect , according to his auncient Catholike faith , vpon this new dreamed Conquest , a Frierie to preach to the quicke , and a Chaunterie of Priests to pray for the dead , and a most damnable pestiferous Stewes of Nunnes and whores , for both their recreations , Secundum vsum Ecclesiae Romanae . These are in distresse , a Hen is worth fiue shillings , a little carrion Cowe sixe poundes , yet no man will scarse bring these to them : Some wilde Kerne solde them thirtie such Cowes in the day , and very honestly stole them again at night . They expected the countrie would haue ioyned with them , but they doe not , but stand all for the Queene . The Lord Deputie and the President of Munster are there readie to the batterie and assault , so soone as the great Ordinance comes to him . They haue no wood but what they fight for . Our Captaines and souldiers would faine assault them with Pike , Musket , Sword and Target : but my Lord Deputie will not suffer it . The Spaniards offer to the Irish sixe shillings a day for a horseman , and three shillings for a footman : the Irish aske a moneths pay before hand : the Spaniards doubt they will not serue them , but runne away , and the wilde Irish doubt they will pay them one weeke , and hang them the next weeke : and so they haue no hope . The Irish Priests promised them one thousand Irish Hobbies , to be deliuered them within tenne daies after their landing , and so they brought one thousand braue saddles : but alas they cannot performe to them tenne tits to carrie earth to their fortifications . The Lord Deputie , and the President of Munster haue shewed themselues very honorable and politike , or els things had not gone so well . Tyrone burnes within sixteene miles of Dublin , but now he is feard out of the countrie , by the countrie : he can pleasure the Spaniards in nothing : the Spaniard and Rebell are almost desperate the Spaniard curseth the Priests , the Priests curseth the Irish the Irish curseth them both : So I send straunge newes , from such as would be Catholikes and Christians , Friers and Nunnes , Priests and whores , cursing and bannings : but contrariwise , the English haue time to pray for the peace of Ierusalem .
