at

vpon
Sir

Perrot
,
a
Gentleman
discended
of
an
auncient
and
Noble

,
and
that
illustrated
by
his

His

a

,
for
as
his

vpon

the

especially
when
it
is
guided
by
a
transcendent
iudgement
,

hee
had
formerly
manifested
by
diuers
imployments

taken

This
iudicious
and
exact
discourse
I
haue
added
(
for
the
satisfaction
of
the
Reader
)
to
my
Preface
.
These
merrits
induced
that
prouident
Prince
to
this

Election

So

Office
,
to
make
Orations
to
the
people
)
hee
made
a
briefe
speech
more
plaine
and
pithy
then
glorious
or
eloquent
,
the
words
being
to
this
effect
.
That
since
it
had
pleased
God
and
her
Maiestie
to
commit
to
him
that
great
gouernment
,
how
weake
so
euer
hee
were
to
vndergoe
so
heauy
a
weight
,
yet
hee
would
doe
his
best
endeuour
to
distribute
equall
Iustice
vnto
all
,
which
hee
knew
to
be
her
Maiesties
minde
.
And
,
quoth
he
,
this
sword
(
laying
his
hand
vpon
the
sword
of
State
)
shall
punish
ill
doers
without
partiality
,
and
protect
the
good
subiect
from
violence
and
iniury
;
but
because
words
and
deedes
doe
now
a
dayes
vse
to

,
I
leaue
you
that
heare
me
now
,
hereafter
to
iudge
mee
and
my
words
by
my
deedes
.
This
short
speech
,
being
pronounced
in
such
a
manner
,
as
his
naturall
Maiestie
of
personage
,
spirit
,
and
countenance
did
vsually
afford
;
receiued
no
lesse
applause
from
the
standers
by
,
then
it
gaue
them
hope
it
would
proue
a
debt
wherein
the
payment
would
iustly
follow
the
promise
.
The
ceremony
being
ended
with
the
accustomed
rites
thereunto
belonging
.
The
next
day
hee
communicated
in
Councell
his
commission
and
instructions
;
which
for
the
better
satisfaction
of
such
as

the
graunt
of
that
gouernment
,
both
in
limit
of
authority
and

of
Residencie

I
haue
thought
meete
to

;
To
leauy

for
that
purpose
;
To

offenders
;
To
conferre

Offices

Spirituall
promotions

a
fewe
of
them

)

with
the
greatest
Latitude
of
authority
which
can
bee
giuen
a
Subiect
;
which
is
,
to
doe
all
things
in
cases
of
Iustice
and
gouernment
,
as
the
Prince
might
doe
being
present
.
The
reseruation

Officers
,
Bishops
,
and
such

,
alwayes
giuen
heere
by
the
Prince
himselfe
,
with
diuers
other
things
,
too
long
to
be
here
recited
.
In
his
priuate
instructions
,
besides
matters
of
profit
,
as
sparing

,
and
easing

,

The
erecting
of
the
Vniuersity
in
Dublin
,
giuen
in
charge
to
the
Deputy
.
the
bane
of
that
Kingdome
.
There
was
precisely
giuen
him
in
charge
the
erection
of
an
Vniuersity
in
Dublin
,
for
the
aduancement
of
learning
,
neuer
till
that
time
set
on
foote
(
and
that
by
this
Deputies
vrging
)
though
long
time
before
proiected
,
and
in
King
Edward
the
sixt
time
intended
;
So
soone
as
the
mists
of
Ignorance
(
the
mother
of
Popish
deuotion
)
was
by
the
shining
reformation
of
Religion
dispierced
;
and
most
especially
requisite
in
that
Kingdome
,
as
a
chiefe
spring
and
fountaine
of
ciuility
.
(
His
authority
thus
shewed
:
)
He
fell
with
them
in
Councell
,
touching
the
affaires
of
that
Kingdome
,
both
as
it
was
giuen
him
in
charge
,
and
as
they
were
presented
to
the
viewe
of
his
owne
experient
iudgement
,
wherein
he
spent
eighteene
dayes
;
after
which
consultation
,
hee
fell
to
shewe
the
fruites
of
Councell
,
in
setting
downe
acts
and
decrees
Amnestia
,
or
the
act
of
Obliuion
.
for
the
good
of
her
Maiesties
seruice
and
Kingdome
;
amongst
which
,
was
Amnestia
,
or
the
act
of
Obliuion
,
according
to
the
institution
of
the
ancient
and
excellent
Law-giuers
,
the
Lacedemonians
,
being
in
the
nature
of
a
generall
pardon
for
offences
past
,
which
was
both
a
mercifull
,
and
a
politique
prouision
,
to
keepe
Transgressours
from
despaire
;
the
ready
mean
to
enduce
them
to
the
encrease
of
mischiefe
,
but
being
reduced
to
obedience
by
this
act
of
clemencie
,
and
so
setled
in
security
.
It
was
most
probable
and
likely
,
that
they
who
had
lately
felt
the
smart
of
raging
and
wantfull
warre
;
would
now
kisse
peace
,
and
embrace
it
with
a
firmer
constancy
.
At
the
same
time
he
sent
into
England
,
the
sonne
of
the
late
Earle
of
Desmond
,
being
but
young
(
and
yet
held
dangerous
hee
should
be
bred
in
that
Kingdome
,
where
practise
might
worke
his
escape
,
and
little
meanes
was
to
yeeld
him
a
meete
breeding
)
with
request
for
his
carefull
education
here
,
that
Religion
and
ciuility
might
after
leade
him
to
the
performance
of
those
duties
,
wherein
(
through
barbarisme
)
his
Predecessours
had
erred
and
trangressed
.
Then
like

,
that
would

mother
of
errour
and
corruption

left
Dublin
,
the
seate
of
State
,
to
settle
the
remote
parts
and
Prouinces
of
Mounster
and
Connaught
,
vnder
their
Gouernours
,
newly
sent
ouer
;
General
Norrys
Lord
President
of
Mounster
,
and
Captaine
Richard
Bingham
chiefe
Commissioner
of
Connaught
,
in
whose
choise
this
Lord
Deputy
(
as
I
haue
heard
)
had
a
great
hand
,
iudging
them
meete
men
both
for
the
managing
of
warre
,
and
conseruation
of
peace
:
So
much
did
their
valour
,
iudgement
,
and
experience
promise
for
them
;
who
had
at
that
time
gained
the
reputation
of
the
two
most
able
Captaines
of
our
Nation
,
wherein
his
wisedome
,
or
fortune
,
did
appeare
the
greater
:
when
by
such
meanes
his
directions
should
not
onely
be
skilfully
performed
,
but
himselfe
cased
of
that
care
and
feare
,
a
Chiefe
is
subiect
to
,
when
his
substitutes
be
weake
:
especially
such
principall
Gouernours
,
as
haue
power
to
answere
suddaine
occasions
vpon
their
owne
discretions
;
but
how
sufficient
so
euer
they
were
,
as
his
authority
was
to
gouerne
them
,
so
he
thought
it
his
part
to
guide
them
by
the
example
of
his
owne
worke
,
purposing
in
those
Prouinces
to
heare
complaints
,
to
redresse
abuses
,
to
decide
controuersies
,
and
to
appease
dissentions
and
quarrels
,
betweene
Lords
of
Countries
,
and
men
of
Ability
,
and
speciall
quality
;
whose
discords
and
controuersies
had
vsually
drawne
them
into
vnwarrantable
actions
,
and
many
times
enforced
the
Prince
,
both
to
the
hazard
and
losse
of
the
good
Subiects
,
and
to
the
expence
of
Treasure
,
to
bring
an
Army
to
appease
their
quarrels
,
as
in
the
contention
betweene
Desmond
and
Ormonde
had
lately
falne
out
,
and
that
which
is
most
dangerous
in
that
Kingdome
:
It
hath
alwayes
beene
found
,
that
Rebellion
hath
beene
the
Successour
of
priuate
quarrels
:
Mischiefe
like
ambition
,
clyming
to
the
highest
places
.
For
these
ends
and
purposes
,
the
Deputy
tooke
his
iourney
from
Dublin
,
the
thirteenth
day
of
Iuly
;
attended
on
by
diuers
persons
of
account
in
that
State
,
and
came
to
Molingarre
,
the
16.
of
the
same
moneth
,
where
to
preuent
discouery
of
such
intelligence
,
as
should
passe
betweene
him
and
the
Councell
at
Dublin
,
by
the
interception
of
his
or
their
Letters
:
Hee
deuised
and
sent
thence
to
the
Lord
Chancellour
,
and
Sir
Henry
Wallop
the
Treasurer
(
the
late
Iustices
,
and
now
by
him
authorised
for
the
dispatch
of
the
affaires
of
the
State
in
his
absence
)
The
Deputies
Alphabeticall
deuice
of
secrecie
.
certaine
ciphers
,
and
figures
,
framed
after
an
Alphabet
,
importing
the
names
of
some
of
the
chiefe
persons
and
places
in
England
and
Ireland
,
which
deuise
for
secrecie
was
most
necessarie
in
that
Kingdome
,
where
the
people
are
very
inquisitiue
,
and
in
the
succeeding
Warre
,
were
apt
to
giue
discouery
to
the
Rebell
,
as
well
for
Religions
sake
,
as
to
gaine
fauour
vpon
his
Incursions
.
The
want
of
this
course
had
like
to
haue
opened
to
the
Rebell
,
the
last
and
greatest
intention
of
the
Lord
Burgh
against
them
,
by
the
interception
of
his
last
Letter
to
the
State
:
opened
and
coppied
by
a
Captaine
,
trusted
with
the
conueyance
thereof
;
and
by
him
certified
to
the
Traytor
Tyrone
,
but
in
the
way
intercepted
by
the
Marshal
,
Sir
Henry
Bagnall
.
The
originall
of
these
Cyphers
are
yet
to
bee
seene
,
with
the
worthy
Sonne
of
that
most
worthy
Father
,
Sir
Henry
Wallop
;
of
whom
,
since
my
heart
vpon
good
knowledge
of
him
guides
my
Pen
:
I
craue
pardon
for
digressing
from
my
matter
now
in
hand
,
to
speake
a
word
of
him
.
He
was
of
an
auncient
family
,
and
an
Inheritour
of
a
faire
fortune
,
which
he
managed
with
so
much
prouidence
,
as
it
being
seconded
by
a
well
knowne
wisedome
;
hee
was
Elected
to
this
place
of
Vice-Treasurer
,
and
Treasurer
at
Warres
in
Ireland
;
which
,
as
I
haue
often
credibly
heard
,
he
was
vnwilling
to
accept
of
,
(
not
because
the
place
was
in
the
Market
at
a
price
to
be
had
,
according
to
the
Custome

glorious
Queene

who
well
vnderstood
,
that
he
which

,
must
sell
at
the

rate
;
by
which
meanes
the
poore
Subiect
(
whose
weale
lay
next
her
heart
)
must
suffer
inconuenience
:
)
but
out
of
feare
,
that
treasure
which
corrupts
most
men
,
might
doe
no
lesse
to
him
.
This
place
hee
discharged
many
yeares
with
so
cleane
hands
,
and
so
vpright
a
heart
,
as
hee
added
not
to
his
fortune
any
matter
of
moment
,
but
at
his
death
was
found
vpon
an
euen
ground
:
neither
in
debt
to
the
Queene
,
nor
to
be
charged
with
any
gratuity
from
Officer
,
Captaine
,
or
other
in
that
Kingdome
,
and
carried
this
report
to
his
graue
:
that
neuer
Treasurer
so
wise
and
prouident
enioyed
so
long
,
and
reaped
so
little
benefit
by
so
beneficiall
a

,
and
dyed
without
the
Taynt
of
corruption
,
either
in
that
Office
or
any
other
,
which
hee
held
by
the
fauour
of
the
State
in

Kingdome

The
Lord
Deputy
hauing
performed
this
,
with
many
other
things
of
importance
:
set
forwards
on
his
iourney
into
Connaught
,
where
hee
dealt
with
the
chiefe
Lords
,
to
change
their
custome
of
strife
and
controuersie
(
at
this
time
frequent
)
into

This
naughty
person
shewed
as
much
resolution
in
suffering
death
,
as
before
he
had
manifested
cruelly
in
his
bloudy
actions
,
which
did
argue
the
goodnesse
of

&
in

that

broke
off

comming

Tirlogh
Leynaugh
,
the
chiefe
man
of

,
whose
rebellious

(
as

by

was
giuen

,
as
the
aduise
of

)
being
quieted
,
he
presented
himselfe
to
the

fauour
,
without
either
pardon
or
protection
for
his
late
seditious
Conspiracie
,
whom
the
Deputy
entertained
with
a
louing
but
graue
countenance
,
accepted
his
submission
,
and
promise
to
the
State
of
duty
and
obedience
;
for
the
performance
whereof
,
he
willingly
put
in
Pledges
.
During
his

and
abode
here
;
there

he
assured

So
as
no
doubt
of

behinde
him
could
happen
,
when
he
should
be
aduanced
to
the
Enemie
and
Rebels
abroad
.
From
whence
hee
marched
forwards
with
his
Forces
towards
Surleboys
,
and
his
inuading
Ilanders
,
who
hearing
of
his
approach
,
with
more
power

speede
then
they
expected
(
celerity
being
the
onely
aduantage
to

,
and
the
greatest
dismay
to

vnresolued
Enemy
)
were
much
appalled
;
withall
vnderstanding
,
that
the
Deputy
had
sent
Shipping
to
surprise

Gallies
lying
at
Loghfoyle
,
as
hee
had
secured
the
whole
Country
,
those
men
attending
him
with
their

;
whom
they
expected
to
be

partakers

So
as

were
now
become

assured
Enemies
.
They
made

,
though

This
vnhappy
escape
of
the
Ilanders
,
was
imputed
to
the
negligence
of
the

,
the
Deputy
hauing
prouided
against
it
,
sending
the
Shipps
in

,
fore-seeing
what
these
barbarous
Sauages
were
likely
to
doe
vpon

:
but
it
was
excused
,
by
the

yet
in
respect
of
the
Seate
,
is
one
of
the

Castles

,
being
scituated
vpon

ouer

secure

though

Here
was
at
this
time
a
strong
Ward
commanded
by
a
Scottish
Captaine
,
who
being
summoned
to
deliuer
vp
the
Castle
to
the
Queene
,
resolutely
denied
;
protesting
to
defend
it
to
the
last
man
,
whereupon
the
Deputy
,
hoping
the
terrour
of
the
Canon
might
dismay
the
Ward
(
for
other
hope
hee
had
not
to
win
so
strong
a
place
)
drew
his
Forces
nearer
,
&
planted
his
Artillary
(
being
two
Culuerings
and
two
Sakers
)
for
battery
.
This
Ordnance
was
brought
by
Sea
from
Dublin
to
Skerreys
Portrushe
,
and
thence
being
two
miles
,
was
drawne
by
mens
hands
(
through
want
of

meanes
)
to
this
place
.
The
Ward
of
the
Castle
played
thick
with
their
small
Shot
vpon
the
Souldiers
,
that
made

much

procured
by
his

,
for
so
much
of

The

preuented
from

intended

for

hee
determined

which
enforced
him
to
speede
his

not
willing
to

aduantage
to

people
,
but
would
rather
leaue
to

time
,
the
perfection
&
finishing
of
this
work
,
which
he
had
moulded
in
his
iudgement
for
the
future
securing
of
this
quarter
,
and
dispossessing
these
fugitiues
that
had
crept

gaue
an

The

thus

for

encrease

now
threatned

begun

a
strong
combination

receiued
great
applause

commendation
euen
of
those
that
maligned
his

in

together
could
scarsely
endure

bee
now
reduced

such
obedience
:
as
to
contribute
to
the
maintenance
of
their
owne
yoke
;
but
doubtlesse
it
was
a
worke
of
great
danger
in
the
attempt
,
and
of
great
consequence
being
atchieued
:
wherein
much
was
to
be
attributed
to
the

The

who
did

the

tooke
care
to
appease
(
though
it
be
difficult
to
reconcile
grudges
,
growing
for
gouernment
and
dominion
.
)
Hee
deuided
the
greater
gouernments
into
smaller
,
that
no
one
should
be
too
strong
for
another
,
and
yet
each
should
haue
sufficient
,
if
not
to
satisfie
himselfe
,
yet
to
ballance
the
ouer-growing
greatnesse
of
his
neighbour
:
but
indeede
his
chiefest
ayme
was
to
extinguish
the
greatnesse
of
Oneale
,
which
name
being
by
the
barbarous
people
of
that
whole
Prouince
had
in
so
great
adoration
,
as
neither
the
law
formerly
made
in
Sir
Henry
Sidneys
time
,
(
a
most
worthy
Gouernour
,
)
nor
any
iniunction
of
State
could
abolish
,
what
time
and
ignorance
had
so
established
.
Withall
to
suppresse
his
clayme
to
the
Vriaghts
,
and
petty
Lords
,
second
chiefe
men
vnto
him
,
whom
he
stiled
his
vassalls
,
and
sometime
vsed
them
as
his
Slaues
,
when
hee
had
power
to
preuaile
eyther
ouer
them
,
or
against
the
State
,
whereby
they
becam
instruments
to
aduance
his

greatnes
;
many
times
to
his
ruine
and
their
own
,
not
without
much
trouble
&
charge
to
the
State
.
The
Deputy
therefore
deuided
the
Prouince
into
three
Lieutenantcies
:
one
he
Deuision
of
the
North
into
gouernments
.
assigned
vnto
Tirlogh
Lennaugh
,
as
much
as
was
already
vnder
his
rule
.
The
other
two
he
parted
between
the
Baron
of
Donganon
,
&
Sir
Nicholas
Bagnall
,
then
Marshall
of
Ireland
.
Nor
did
hee
neglect
to
appease
and
reconcile
the
differences
of
meaner
Lords
,
as
of
the
Claniboyes
,
to
all
which

Gouernor
:
And
Shane
Mac
Bryan
and
Hugh
Oge
,
straue
for
the
dominion
of
the
neather
Claniboy
,
and
could
not
agree
of
their
portions
,
opposing
the
generall
and
striuing
in
their
owne
particular
.
This
the
Deputy
(
through
priuate
perswasion
and
counsell
ioyned
with
authority
)
arbitrated
betweene
them
,
and
concluded
with
their
mutuall
consent
;
that
Con
O
Neale
should
hold
the
vpper
Claniboy
,
and
Shane
and
Hugh
,
the
neather
,
to
be
equally
deuided
and
bounded
betweene
them
,
by
such
Commissioners
as
hee
had
appointed
thereunto
.
These
courses
were
of
more
importance
,
then
by
some
are
conceiued
to
be
:
for
Possessours
of
great
Territories
,
and
Commaunders
of
many
people
,
being
proud
of
their
owne
greatnesse
,
and
enflamed
with
desire
of
Dominion
;
drawe
many
to
follow
them
through
the
flames
of
commotion
:
And
the
lesser
,
especially
the
second
sort
,
either
coueting
to
be
higher
,
or
binding
themselues
to
the
will
of
their
Superiours
,
that
are
able
to

,

The

returneth
to
Dublin
the
eleuenth
of
October
,
whence
hee
had
beene
absent
three
moneths
and
two
dayes
,
and
thence
he
gaue
an
account
to
the
Lords
of
the
Councell
here
,
of
these
his
proceedings
;
signifying
by
his
Letters
,
his
quick
and
speedy
dispatch
,
of
so
many
weighty
&
difficult
businesse
,
by
his
trauaile
through
all
the
Prouinces
of
Ireland
,
in
the
space
of
fiue
moneths
;
and
might
with
Caesar
haue
said
,
Veni

and
withall
,
that
he

and

power
.
This
his
relation
was
ratified
by
like
Letters
written
by
such
of
the
Priuy
Councell
,
as
did
accompanie
him
in
these
his
iourneyes
;
wherein
it
is
to
be
noted
,
that
it
was
a
wise
part
of
the
Deputy
to
cause
his
actions
to
be
iustified
by
others
,
who
were
,

,

,
as
they
would
enforme
no

,
and
some
vsing
alwayes
to
depraue
from
the
Gouernours
there
:
For
the
condition
of
our
State
,
was
rather
to
deminish
the
acts
of
the
Deputy
to
her
Maiestie
,
then
to
grace
them
by
a
true
relation
,
least
as
his
merit
might
challenge
rewards
;
so
the
weight
of
his
actions
cast
into
the
ballance
of
her
discerning
iudgement
,
might
shew
the
lightnesse
of
their
owne
little
doings
.
Thus
much
to
the
indifferent
:
But
most
of
our
great
men
did
not
rellish
Sir
Iohn
Perrots
stoutnesse
,
who
stoode
vpon
his
owne
feete
onely
without
dependancy
,
vpon
any
of
them
,
but
the
Queene
alone
,
which
made
them
enuious
of
all
his
good
Seruices
,
but
now
their
mouthes
were
stopped
,
her
Maiestie
being
satisfied
of
the
trueth
by
so
indifferent
Relators
.
Now
was
it
found
time
by
the
Deputy
,
to
consult
how
these
good
beginnings
might
be
prosecuted
,
and
that
which
was
done
,
might
not
be
euerted
by
the
inconstancy
of
a
wauering
and
yet
vnbrideled
people
,
who
being
brought
by
force
onely
to
yeeld
to
that
which
is
good
,
will
bee
good
no
longer
then
while
force
constraines
them
,
vntill
their
ignorance
,
how
farre
the
good
extendes

passe
.
Therefore
to
this
end
hee
propounded
to
her
Maiestie
and
Councell
,
that
sixe
hundred
Souldiers
might
be
sent
ouer
,
whereof
400
to
land
at
Dublin
,
for
supply
of
the
Northern
Garrison
,
and
two
hundred
to
be
sent
to
Waterford
,
to
be
placed
in
Mounster
,
all
which
should
bee
mixed
with
the
olde
Companies
,
and
maintained
by
the
charge
of
Vlster
,
according
to
their
composition
,
with
small
addition
of
payment
from
her
Maiesties
Treasure
.
He
likewise
propounded
,
that
the
large
and
vnbounded
Countries
of
the
North
,
and
other
parts
,
might
be
deuided
into
small
Counties
,
for
the
better
gouerning
of
the
rude
and
vnruly
people
,
who
might
learne
ciuility
,
and
know
the
lawes
,
and
by
that
knowledge
be
brought
to
loue
that
,
vnder
which
they
did
enioy
their
owne
,
whereof
they
were
now
ignorant
.
The
Deputies
offer
,
if
50000
pound
might
be
spared
for
three
yeares
.
Hee
offered
farther
,
that
if
50000
pound
might
be
added
to
the
reuenew
of
that
Kingdome
,
but
for
three
yeares
to
come
,
he
would
not
onely
therewith
support
the
charge
of
the
State
:
but
wall
seauen
Townes
,
and
build
as
many
Bridges
in
places
now
scarce
passable
,
(
especially
in
the
Winter
)
and
erect
so
many
strong
Castles
in
places
of
perill
:
withall
2000
Foote
,
and
400
Horse
,
should
bee
maintained
by
this
allowance
,
supplyed
by
the
Northerne
composition
,
during
the
time
.
This
summe
,
though
it
seemed
great
,
yet
was
lesse
then
her
Maiestie
many
times
was
enforced
to
expend
for
the
suppressing
of
a
light
Rebellion
,
and
the
preseruation
of
her
good
Subiects
,
without
any
other
fruit
of
reformation
,
or
assurance
of
future
Peace
:
So
as
this
charge
(
thus
imployed
)
would
not
onely
secure
the
whole
Countrey
for
the
present
,
but
make
other
Seruice
of
importance
more
easie
after
to
bee
performed
.
Hee
added
to
these
motions
,
others
of
consequence
for
execution
of
Iustice
,
(
a
chiefe
meane

breede

whereby

such
as
(
for

)
were
eyther
insufficient
in
the
knowledge
of
the

,
corrupt
in

,
or

in

,
whom
he
wished
might
be
changed
into
such
as
were
free
from
these
faulty
offences
.
That
Tanestry
might
be
abolished
.
And
that
the
bad
and

custome
of
Tanestry
might
be
abolished
,
which
custome
(
amongst
the
meere
Irish
onely
is
in

)
being
that

by
the

,
as
doth

most
commonly
such
as
were
mischieuous
to
the
State
.
Him
so
Elected
,
they
called
their
Tawnist
,
vpon
which
Election
happened
oftentimes
murther
and
bloudshed
,
euen
amongst
the
nearest
of
their
kindred
,
besides
other
innumerable
mischiefes
.
This
euill
and
vnnaturall
custome
the
Deputy
desired
to
abolish
,
thinking
(
as
matter
then
stood
)
he
had
both
power
and
opportunity
to
bring
it
to
passe
.
That
charge
of
Tenures
might
be
made
.
Hee
desired
that
hee
might
be
enabled
to
passe
estates
vnto
the
Irish
,
according
to
the
English
tenure
,
vpon
surrender
of
their
former
claymes
,
which
would
bring
them
to
depend
vpon
the
State
,
and
loose
them
from
the
tirannous
yoke
of
their
neere
and
great
Lords
,
whereto
the
Irish
seemed
in
his
iudgement
at
this
time
forward
and
enclinable
.
The
Deputy
demaunds
reward
for
the
deseruing
Soldier
.
Hee
concluded
with
requests
for
the
rewarding
,
some
principall
Seruitors
of
that
Realme
,
whom
hee
had
found
faithfull
,
and
painfull
furtherers
of
her
Maiesties
Seruice
,
as
encouragements
for
others
to
doe
the
like
.
To
all
these
motions
,
both
her
Maiesty
,
and
Councell
,
returneth
faire
answeres
,
accepting
and
applauding
his
Seruices
,
giuing
GOD
thanks
for
his
prosperity
,
and
good
successe
therein
,
to
the
aduancement
whereof
promises
of
assistance
were
giuen
;
and
in
particular
to
his
propositions
,
gaue
this
resolution
.
Touching
the
composition
made
in
Vlster
,
for
the
maintenance
of
the
Garrison
,
it
was
well
allowed
,
as
a
thing
not
onely
tending
to
the
reformation
of
that
Prouince
,
but
to
the
reduction
of
the
rest
of
the
Kingdome
,
with
more
facility
to
order
,
obedience
,
and
ciuility
:
To
the
rest
for
the
most
part
they
did
condiscend
,
or
at
the
least
gaue
him
such
satisfaction
therein
,
as
might
encourage
his
proceeding
,
concluding
with
praise
and
promise
of
reward
.
A

from

Which

the

spurres

to

In

Aduice

which
are

to

end
Letters
were
directed
to
the
Lords

Chiefes
of
account
,
that
their
Countries
which
were
large
in
circuite
,
might
be
deuided
into
Counties
(
in
places
where
now
were
none
,
as
in
Vlfter
)
and

and
custome
of

,
as
Shriefes
,
Excheaters
,
Feodaries
,
Constables
,
and
the
like
;
whereby
the
poorer
sort
of
people
might
be
kept
from
oppression
,
and
speedier
Iustice
,
with
lesse
charge
,
might
bee
had

bee

The
great
men
kept
from
tyrannizing
ouer

and
the
Inferiour
sort
should
know
how
to
support
themselues
,
by
lawfull
meanes
against
vnlawfull
Vsurpations
.
This
course
was
consented
to
by
most
,
and
not
contradicted
by
any
,
but
some

were

into
what
degree

trust
they
were
called
,

how

be
found
such
industry
and
sincerity
as
was
expected
,
hee
then
saw
no
cause
,
but
that
the
course
of
enormities
(
which
had
heretofore
runne
with
more
impunity
then
was
meete
)
might
be
stopped
,
and
the
State
of

Country
brought
from
good
to
better
;
or
at

not
suffered
to
decline
againe
from
bad
to
worse
,
as
heretofore
in
the
late
broken
times
it
had
done
.
Further
assuring
them
,
that
as
hee
should
be
glad
to
finde
them
to
performe
their
duties
;
so
hee
gaue
them
to
vnderstand
,
that
in
which
of
them
so
euer
hee
found
any
crime
or
defect
(
whereby
so
good
a
Seruice
should
bee
hindered
or
cortupted
)
they
should
bee
brought
vnder
such
leuere
penalty
and
reprehension
,
as
the
Law
could
any
way
permit
,
besides
the
diminution
of

The

Letter
to

MOst
high
and
Noble
Assembly
,
the
duty
I
owe
to
God
,
her
Maiesty
,
and
my
Country
,
and
the
interest
I
haue
in
you
rproceedings
,
though
I
now
be
not
(
as
often
I
haue
beene
a
member
of
that
House
)
moues
mee
,
not
onely
to
pray
deuoutly
,
that
God
will
blesse
all
your
Counsels
,
but
also
to
thinke
carefully
of
any
thing
that
I
conceiue
,
may
be
worthy
your
graue
consultation
,
and
tend
to
the
glory
of
God
,
her
Maiesties
Honour
,
and
safety
,
and
strength
,
and
profit
of
the
whole
State
.
The
malice
of
the
Pope
,
and
all
combinations
and
practises
,
both
Forraigne
and
Domesticall
thereupon
depending
,
which
haue
beene
most
apparently
discouered
from
all
quarters
,
and
of
late
partly
from
hence
,
I
humbly
leaue
to
be
by
your
grauities
prouided
for
,
&
therefore
her
Maiestie
hauing
assigned
mee
(
though
vnworthy
)
to
the
charge
of
this
Realme
.
I
am
drawne
by
commiseration
to
present
the
torne
,
and
miserable
estate
of
the
same
vnto
your
viewes
,
together
with
the
occasions
and
meanes
of
redresse
that
are
now
offered
,
and
which
it
humbly
imploreth
through
your
godly
and
Honourable
aydes
.
I
trust
I
shall
not
neede
to
goe
about
to
confute
the
bad
opinion
,
that
hath
beene
held
of
some
,
concerning
the
reformation
of
the
same
;
for
I
am
perswaded
,
that
there
is
no
one
amongst
you
so
vngodly
,
as
doth
thinke
all
mischiefe
sufferable
in
a
Common-wealth
,
for
pollicies
sake
;
or
so
ill
aduised
,
as
not
to
see
the
great
charge
this
Realme
hath
beene
vnto
that
,
and
must
still
breede
vnto
it
,
while
it
is
in
disorder
,
or
degenerate
from
the
Noble
courage
of
our
Forefathers
;
as
to
doubt
that
England
shall
not
be
able
to
rule
and
hold
Ireland
,
being
reduced
to
good
estate
:
For
sith
all
power
is
of
God
,
and
that
either
of
his
mercie
hee
establisheth
the
happy
continuance
of
all
well
ordered
Kingdomes
,
or
of
his
iustice
ouerthroweth
,
or
translateth
the
contrary
.
No
man
that
hath
any
spaike
of
grace
,
or
reason
,
can
hope
that
euer
England
may
long
enioy
Ireland
,
if
it
suffer
it
in
this
licentious
impunity
,
to
embrewe
it selfe
in
Heathenish
and
superstitious
Idolatries
,
Treasons
,
Rebellions
,
Murthers
,
Rapes
,
Robberies
,
Mischiefes
;
or
doubt
,
that
it
may
become
a
strong
and
profitable
ornament
to
England
,
if
on
the
other
side
,
religion
,
duty
,
obedience
,
peace
,
quietnesse
,
true
dealing
,
order
,
ciuility
,
may
be
planted
in
it
.
Because
examples
doe
more
perswade
somtimes
then
reason
,
I
humbly
beseech
you
to
reuiew
the
ancient
State
of
this
Kingdom
,
and
it
will
appeare
by
good
demonstrations
,
not
vnknowne
to
some
of
that
most
Noble
Assembly
,
that
our
Predecessours
in
a
very
short
time
planted
in
euery
part
of
this
Kingdome
,
Cities
,
Towns
,
&
Castles
,
wherof
doe
remaine
yet
the
Reliques
euen
in
Vlster
(
where
Barbarisme
most
preuailed
)
&
yeelded
vnto
England
great
yearely
reuenewes
;
the
decayes
thereof
grew
from
Gods
heauy
hand
,
visiting
the
Enemies
of
that
time
,
first
vpon
England
,
and
consequently
vpon
Ireland
,
as
an
appendix
by
the
diuision
of
Yorke
and
Lancaster
,
the
harmes
(
God
bee
praised
)
is
repaired
againe
in
England
by
the
happy
Vnion
of
those
two
Houses
(
all
being
of
one
Nation
;
but
not
in
Ireland
,
where
the
Irish
preuailed
against
the
English
,
by
reason
of
that
diuision
vnder
the
factions
,
raised
heere
for
the
maintainance
of
the
same
,
not
vnknowne
to
some
of
you
that
haue
had
the
mannaging
of
these
causes
of
this
State
:
Much
bloud
hath
since
beene
spilt
,
and
an
infinite
treasure
consumed
to
recouer
that
dammage
,
through
a
deadly
hate
conceiued
betweene
the
two
Nations
,
and
that
not
without
the
maintenance
of
the
degenerate
English
,
wherof
the
late
Earle
of
Desmond
may
bee
an
example
for
the
rest
.
This
dissention
hath
beene
euer
since
maintained
,
and
lately
nourished
by
the
needy
Scots
of
the
out
Iles
,
and
lately
by
the
Popes
crue
vnder
Saunders
,
vpon
whom
Gods
curse
preuailed
against
their
Chiefetaines
blessing
.
Thus
you
see
,
how
this
matter
hath
long
hung
in
question
,
what
misery
and
mischiefe
hath
ensued
thereof
,
and
what
honour
and
profit
it
was
,
and
againe
would
be
vnto
England
,
if
it
were
redressed
.
It
remaineth
:
I
shew
not
onely
the
good
occasions
,
and
meanes
thereof
now
offered
;
but
also
the
good
thereby
to
ensue
,
and
so
to
conclude
with
my
humble
Petition
for
your
ayde
.
Heretofore
the
Irish
haue
beene
iealous
of
the
English
,
immagining
that
not
themselues
,
but
the
recouery
of
the
vsurped
Lands
haue
beene
sought
,
and
the
degenerate
English
,
as
Desmond
and
some
others
,
haue
fallen
into
the
same
errors
,
which
hath
made
them
to
spurn
against
all
Authority
,
and
vse
the
ayde
of
the
Scots
,
almost
to
their
owne
extirpation
.
But
now
her
Maiesties
mercy
,
and
gracious
meaning
,
being
publiquely
denounced
vpon
the
ouerthrow
of
the
Rebels
and
Forraigne
Enemies
,
that
her
Highnesse
equally
ballanceth
her
Subiects
,
according
to
their
due
deserts
,
without
respect
of
Nation
,
as
hauing
interest
from
GOD
in
them
all
alike
:
they
see
their
errour
,
not
onely
in
flying
from
so
gracious
a
Princes
and
Soueraigne
;
but
also
in
embracing
the
needy
rauenous
Scot
,
that
had
well-nigh
deuoured
them
all
.
And
therefore
I
am
farre
from
the
opinion
of
those
,
that
would
haue
the
Irish
extirped
,
sith
I
see
that
the
occasion
of
dissention
being
now
taken
away
,
they
are
(
as
I
suppose
)
easily
made
one
with
vs
,
and
so
as
likely
to
be
continued
,
as
any
other
generation
whatsoeuer
,
that
in
their
place
should
be
planted
.
I
make
this
collection
by
proofe
,
I
haue
had
not
onely
of
their
willingnesse
,
to
ioyne
with
mee
in
the
expulsion
of
the
Scots
,
but
also
to
yeeld
their
Lands
simply
,
as
many
of
the
best
haue
done
,
and
the
rest
are
ready
to
doe
,
to
be
resumed
of
her
Maiestie
,
by
Tenures
,
Rents
,
and
Seruices
,
both
honourable
and
profitable
to
her
Maiestie
,
seruiceable
to
the
State
,
and
commodious
to
themselues
;
which
I
haue
made
particularly
knowne
to
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
Lords
of
her
most
Honourable
Priuie
Counsell
.
Hereunto
I
haue
to
adde
,
that
they
are
most
willing
,
and
ready
to
leaue
olde
Irish
exactions
vpon
their
Free-Holders
and
Tenants
,
and
to
conuert
the
same
to
Rents
certaine
,
whereof
what
wealth
and
quietnesse
is
like
to
ensue
,
I
will
leaue
to
the
report
of
some
of
you
,
that
know
this
State
:
for
I
should
trouble
you
too
tediously
to
discourse
it
particularly
.
I
haue
besides
so
preuailed
with
them
as
well
by
good
dealings
,
as
by
ouer-ruling
them
with
her
Maiesties
Forces
,
that
I
haue
wonne
them
to
entertaine
English
Souldiers
instead
of
Scots
;
so
as
I
haue
compounded
with
the
Chiefetaines
of
Vlster
,
for
the
maintenance
of
1000
English
Souldiers
,
and
doe
mean
to
proceed
with
the
rest
,
with
their
content
anon
,
and
to
their
owne
good
,
that
I
hope
to
haue
a
trayned
Garrison
here
in
a
readinesse
of
two
thousand
footemen
,
and
foure
hundred
Horse
readie
for
all
euents
,
and
those
in
time
to
be
but
a
small
charge
to
her
Maiestie
,
and
that
Realme
.
Those
occasions
may
in
some
mens
opinion
seeme
good
,
but
vncertaine
,
and
so
indeede
are
,
as
all
occasions
are
,
if
they
be
not
well
taken
hold
of
,
and
that
in
time
.
For
the
Irish
,
as
all
mankinde
besides
,
yea
,
euen
borne
in
Middlefex
,
as
naturally
slippery
,
vncertaine
,
and
vnruly
:
and
therefore
the
meanes
to
be
vsed
to
make
them
stayed
,
certaine
,
and
orderly
,
which
are
partly
by
Iustice
,
and
partly
by
force
:
Iustice
may
bee
executed
with
small
boast
,
but
so
cannot
force
,
and
yet
the
force
I
meane
is
not
violable
,
but
benefie
all
to
the
whole
State
.
The
Irish
Rebell
,
and
his
Scottish
partaker
,
or
rather
maintainer
,
doe
greatly
trustin
in
their
aduantage
of
Wood
and
Bogg
,
where
they
runne
vp
and
downe
sauagely
,
and
in
our
disaduantage
(
especially
in
Vlster
the
Scot
arriueth
)
through
want
of
Bridges
,
Townes
,
and
Forts
,
as
well
to
pursue
them
,
and
to
keepe
Garrison
against
,
as
also
to
breede
Traffique
and
good
Society
,
betweene
the
well
disposed
of
both
the
Nations
,
whereof
I
of
late
as
others
before
me
haue
,
and
doe
daily
finde
the
great
discommodity
.
I
haue
therefore
determined
there
chiefely
,
and
in
some
part
of
the
Realme
besides
,
to
build
seauen
Townes
,
seauen
Castles
,
and
seauen
Bridges
in
the
places
herevnder
mentioned
,
which
were
these
,
viz
▪
the
Townes
Athloan
,
Dingle
,
Colerant
,
Liffre
,
Sligo
,
Newry
.
The
Castles
,
the
black
water
to
be
better
fortified
,
Balleshannon
,
Belleck
to
be
new
erected
;
The
broad
water
in
Mounster
,
Castell
Merten
vpon
the
Rout
,
Gallin
in
the
Queenes
County
,
Kilcoman
in
Feagh
Mac
Hughs
Country
.
The
Bridges
,
Colerane
,
Liffer●
,
Ballishannon
,
Dondalke
;
the
Broad
water
in
Mounster
,
the
Riuer
of
Veale
vnder
Slelogher
,
Kelles
in
Clana
deboy
.
With
those
new
Buildings
,
or
rather
for
the
most
part
reparations
of
olde
ruines
,
and
those
that
be
already
,
the
Realme
will
be
as
it
were
walled
in
(
as
vpon
view
of
the
Charter
)
will
appeare
vnto
you
:
and
by
Gods
grace
,
I
trust
not
onely
thereby
mutuall
Traffique
and
amity
will
growe
,
the
waste
part
of
this
Land
may
be
planned
,
and
peopled
with
good
Subiects
,
those
that
be
dutifull
strengthned
and
countenanced
,
and
those
repressed
that
are
ill
affected
;
but
also
that
the
composition
already
made
,
or
here
after
to
be
made
for
the
numbers
before
mentioned
,
may
be
holden
good
,
as
also
other
matters
of
honour
and
profit
to
both
the
Realmes
,
may
be
brought
to
passe
.
But
sith
this
will
not
be
done
without
some
charge
,
albeit
the
same
be
not
great
,
in
respect
eyther
of
the
good
it
will
bring
,
or
of
some
other
greater
charges
hereto
fore
bestowed
,
I
humbly
pray
,
that
I
may
presume
to
recommend
the
same
to
your
most
Noble
and
fauourable
considerations
,
which
is
,
for
the
fifty
thousand
pounds
a
yeare
to
be
had
thence
for
three
yeares
together
.
A
sum
not
exceeding
her
Maiesties
yearely
charge
,
one
yeare
with
another
,
since
the
beginning
of
her
Maiesties
Reigne
,
and
short
of
her
Highnes
charges
in
three
yeares
,
not
long
since
,
by
almost
50000
pounds
,
as
may
appeare
by
Auditors
Bookes
:
and
as
humbly
I
pray
you
,
that
you
doe
conceiue
,
that
this
my
motion
doth
not
proceede
from
any
direction
,
but
onely
from
the
cause
itselfe
;
which
I
haue
at
Eye
,
and
wherein
for
zeale
and
duties
sake
,
I
auowe
,
and
protest
not
onely
to
imploy
my
body
and
minde
,
but
also
all
that
substance
that
I
am
well
able
to
spare
,
which
I
know
will
fall
out
vpon
mee
the
greatest
Subsidie
of
any
Subiect
in
the
Land
,
through
the
charge
that
hath
,
and
will
arise
of
my
continuall
trauailing
to
effect
these
Seruices
from
place
to
place
,
(
for
otherwise
it
will
not
be
done
)
where
I
might
saue
by
feeling
my selfe
in
places
certaine
.
Hauing
thus
protested
to
spend
mine
owne
with
good
contentation
,
I
trust
I
may
easily
auoyde
all
opinion
of
intent
,
to
get
by
issuing
of
the
money
;
for
I
vtterly
denounce
the
handling
or
directing
of
one
penny
,
otherwise
then
by
the
aduice
of
such
as
shall
be
specially
assigned
to
that
trust
with
me
.
If
our
Auncestors
,
when
the
world
was
more
needy
&
bare
,
did
not
make
stay
at
great
summes
to
lesser
purpose
.
I
trust
the
present
plentifull
State
of
England
,
will
shewe
a
franke
and
cheetefull
readinesse
to
aduance
a
matter
,
that
according
to
the
occasion
now
offered
,
requireth
present
helpe
and
remedy
.
I
humbly
beseech
you
thinke
what
a
continuall
sinke
both
of
men
and
money
hath
this
State
beene
vnto
that
.
Thinke
also
what
Forraine
Princes
haue
attempted
,
and
doe
still
gape
for
it
,
wayting
onely
opportunity
,
and
if
they
doe
catch
it
,
what
a
dangerous
and
noysome
neighbour
vnto
England
they
will
make
it
.
Choake
vp
the
sinke
at
once
,
make
one
charge
of
all
,
conceiuing
you
doe
but
lend
so
much
vpon
large
Interest
,
and
that
you
cast
now
your
seede
into
a
fruitfull
ground
,
that
will
yeeld
a
profitable
Haruest
,
and
by
your
Honourable
Magnanimity
and
care
,
put
downe
the
courages
of
those
ambitious
Princes
,
and
stop
the
course
of
their
ambitious
intentions
against
this
Realme
,
and
consequently
that
.
And
I
(
for
my
part
)
doe
auowe
,
besides
that
small
portion
of
wealth
that
God
hath
lent
me
,
to
afford
my
life
,
well
bestowed
in
that
action
,
with
no
lesse
care
and
diligence
then
I
haue
already
vsed
,
in
the
short
time
of
gouernment
I
haue
passed
,
which
I
trust
seemeth
not
altogether
fruitlesse
.
And
so
crauing
humble
pardon
,
if
zeale
and
affection
haue
any
way
miscaried
me
:
I
humbly
end
from
her
Maiesties
Castle
of
Dublin
this
17
of
Ianuary
1584.
Shortly
after
,
to
confirme
these
conclusions
,
and
to
reduce
the
people
to
conformity
of
gouernment
,
a
Parliament
(
before
resolued

in
Ireland

on
)
is
now
summoned
to
be
held
at
Dublin
,
where
the
Nobility
,

,
and
Commons
,
being
assembled
,
Order
was
taken
,
that

for
Irish
apparell
,
not
to
be
worne
in

.
were
permitted
to
goe
in
Irish
attire
(
as
in
former
time
they
vsed
)
but
to
sort
themselues
in
such
habite
after
the
English
manner
,
as
was
answerable
to
their
seuerall
rankes
and
qualities
;
and
because
the
charge
might
breede
no
difficulty
with
the
chiefe
men
in
Parliament
,
to
yeeld
to
this
Order
.
Hee
bestowed
vpon
Tirlogh
Leynogh
,
the
principle
Lord
of
Vlster
,
and
on
some
others
,
chiefe
of
the
Irish
,
Gowns
and
other
Roabes
fit
for
that
place
,
and
their
degrees
;
which
they
embraced
like
fetters
:
of
which
being
weary
,
one
of
them
came
to
the
Deputy
,
and
besought
him
,
that
one
of
his
Chaplaines
(
which
hee
called
Priests
)
might
goe
with
him
along
through
the
Streetes
,
clad
in
his
Irish
Trouses
:
for
then
(
quoth
he
)
the
Boyes
will
laugh
as
fast
at
him
,
as
they
now
doe
at
me
,
whereat
though
the
Deputy
could
haue
smiled
;
yet
casting
a
frowne
vpon
his
countenance
,
told
him
,
there
was
no
cause
he
should
thinke
any
laughed
at
him
,
for
wearing
those
which
were
fit
ornaments
for
the
place
he
now
held
,
and
did
present
in
Parliament
:
but
if
any
did
so
,
it
was
at
his
ill
wearing
of
the
same
,
which
want
of
ciuill
custome
caused
:
Therefore
since
vse
would
make
that
seemely
,
which
now
was
ridiculous
,
he
aduised
him
to
view
the
difference
of
being
fit
for
all
Assemblies
,
and
onely
fit
for
the
Woods
and
barbarous
Places
;
but
(
quoth
the
Deputy
)
if
any
idle
or
ill
affected
person
shall
put
the
contrary
into
your
head
,
beleeue
it
to
be
done
out
of
an
ill
meaning
to
the
State
,
and
worse
vnto
your
person
,
for
contempt
of
order
and
decencie
,
will
in
the
end
be
your
downfall
.
This
aduice
was
taken
eyther
as
found
good
,
or
out
of
necessity
to
be
followed
:
but
hereby
wee
may
discerne
that
custome
,
is
commonly
preferred
before
decency
,
and
opinion
before
reason
,
especially
amongst
people
where
ciuility
is
vnplanted
;
Withall
it

of

,
that
they
disdaine

,
which
in
their
opinion
would
more
plainely
manifest

ouer
them
;
and
this
I
take
to
be
the
cause
of
their
vntowardnesse
in
this
particular
,
which
made
the
Deputy
to
set
the
reformation
more
to
heart
,
well
knowing
that
the
Lords
and
chiefe
of
the
Irish

Willing

vnwilling

they
were
constrayned
to
come
to
the
Parliament
in
that
ciuill

,
which
did
best
fit
the
place
and
present
seruice
.
In
this
Parliament
,
which
began
at
Dublin
the
26
of
Aprill
1585
,
in
the
27
yeare
of
the

Reigne

passed
in

therefore
neede
here
no
further

;

the

of

Acts.

That
no
Bill
should
passe
in
any
Parliament
in
Ireland
,
for
a
Law
,
vntill
the
same
had
first
a
Royall
assent
in
England
.
This
the
Deputy
would
haue
suspended
by
Act
of
Parliament
,
to
the
end
,
that
opportunity
might
be
taken
for
passing
such
Bills
,
as
the
present
occasion
might
offer
for
the
good
of
the
Seruice
,
without
attending
the
further
resolution
of
England
:
whereby
the
aduantage
of
aduancing
present
Seruices
might
be
lost
,
making
that
by
delay
more
vnpassable
,
which
at
the
present
,
might
easily
be
perfected
:
But
this
,
howsoeuer
grounded
vpon
good
iudgement
by
the
Deputy
,
was
impugned
,
especially
by
some
chiefe
stirrers
in
the
English
Pale
,
and
ouerthrowne
by
them
at
the
third
reading
,
(
who
feared
perchance
,
that
something
might
be
propounded
,
and
speedily
Enacted
,
which
might
crosse
some
purposes
of
their
owne
)
and
therefore
by
suspition
were
caried
to
their
own
preiudice
;
yet
afterwards
vpon
better
information
(
that
doubt
being
cleared
)
they
then
seemed
more
enclinable
to
the
passage
of
the
Bill
,
and
vpon
demaund
obtained
conference
with
the
Deputy
,
touching
the

and
departed

in

made

about
it

by
withstanding
it

gaine-saide
their
owne

;
for
indeede
it
was
preferred
to
no
other
end
,
but
to
haue
free
liberty
,
without

to
treate
of

this
discention
about

whereof
some
that

afterwards

Soone
after

notice
was
giuen
to
the

of
a

of

Islanders
thither

who
had

daily
expected
to

And
because

by
want
of

,
and

such
being
the

as
to
be
quickly
weary
of

,
wherein

had
hitherto
fayled

euen
since
the
Conquest

,
neglecting
the
wayes

to
ciuilize
those
called

(
gouerned

following

euer

gaue

,
besides
a

;
and
vpon
the
28
of
Iuly
,
encountred
them
in
the
morning
;
and
according
to
the
loose
manner
of
the
Irish
fighting
,
continued
in
skirmish
till
foure
in
the
afternoone
,
marching
on
,
and
winning
ground
,
much
to
the
commendation
of

Commanders

,
and
the
Souldiers
resolution
:
the
custome
of
these
Iland
Souldiers
(
if
they
may
be
termed
Souldiers
)
is
to
flye
when
they
be
closely
followed
,
and
to
be
fierce
,
when
they
are
fearefully

,
or
faintly
prosecuted
;
for
indeede
neither

nor

shrinking

At
this
time
Shane
Mac
Bryan
seruing
vpon

side
,
shewed
himselfe
forward
and
faithfull
to
his
great
commendation
.
At
length
Captaine
Stafford
recouered
a
place
of
aduantage
,
hauing
in
this
skirmish
lost
but
eight
men
,
and
brought
off
twelue
hurt
,
and
had
slaine
of
the
Enemie

vpon
the
place
;
and
wounded
at

40
more
,
which
the
Deputy
for
the
grace
of
the
Captaine
and
his
Assistants
,
gaue
a
praisefull
report
of
into
England
;
where
doubtlesse
it
was
little
regarded
,
in
respect
of
the
small
shew
it
presented
:
but
considering
the
State
of
things
as
they
then
stoode
,
it
was
well
done
to
gaine
aduantage
,
the
warre
of
that
Kingdome
in
those
dayes
being
acted
with
small
numbers
.
The
Enemie
being
thus
with
a
fewe
,
in
respect
of
their

,
resisted
and
beaten
back
,
did
afterwards

such
Forces

speedily
put

and
Captaine
Stafford
with
a
new

had
them
againe

enforced

The

enformed
against

Amongst
the
informations
against
the
Deputy
,
there
was
obiected
,
that
hee
had
taken
strict
courses
in

,

the
hazard
of
stirring
vp
a
commotion
:
Vrging
that
these
courses
did
decline
the
people
from
peace
to
vnquietnesse
:
Such
force
had
slander
got
by
malicious
Enuie
,
as
to
make

Bee
a
Spider
,
and
to
worke
that

painfully
gathered

to
a
corrupt
poyson
,
as
by
the
wofull
effect
,
it
,
in
after
time
,
too
manifestly
appeared
.
This
information
was
giuen
against
him
,
by
such
as
hee
had
left
in
trust
for
State
causes
in
his
absence
,
especially
by
the
Chancellor

The

reproueth
the
Chancellour
by
her
letters
.
And
by
her
owne
particular
Letter
to
the
Chancellour
,
in
expresse
manner
,
shee
commanded
a
reformation
,
wherein
was
to
be
obsorued
,
how
carefull
shee
was
of
the
common
good
,
though
the
interest
of

Chancellours

in

wrought
deepely
,
to
the
aduancement
of

particular
.
But
this
her
gracious
admonition
was
not
well
followed

side
;
for
the
Deputy
being
by
nature
cholletick
,
and
not
able
to
endure
the
affronts
of
an
Inferiour
,
especially
discerning
that

patience

no

could
not

words
of

That

had
procured

peace
,
and
had
gayned
the

hearts
vnto
their

:
but
on
the
ninth

hee
wrote
of
the
alteration

in

of

being
likewise
manifested

ouer

suppresse

Hee
therefore
wrote
ouer
vnto
her
,
as
hee
had
already
done
vnto
the
Lords
of
her
Counsaile
,
shewing
the
good
successe
of
his
late
Northerne
iourney
,
with
the
necessity
thereof
,
and
the
content
of
the
Councell
thereunto
,
and
to
his
proceeding
in
tendering
the
Oath
of
obedience
,
hee
pleaded
warrant
and
pollicie
of
State
,
and
to
all
the
other
allegations
,
as
of
Nouelties
and
supposed
inconuemencies
,
hee
replyed
:
that
they
were
malicious
furmises
,
and
without
cause
of
doubt
therein
,
as
his
Aduersary
pretended
;
alleadging
a
dangerous
consequence
,
to
breede
feare
,
doubt
,
and
disquietnesse
in
the
Natiues
,
which
were
but
suggestions
,
to
hinder
such
seruices
,
as
would
easily
be
performed
without
perill
;
finding
now
the
pride
and
power
of
the
euill
affected
Irish
,
to
be
altogether
abated
,
and
the
people
enclined
to
yeeld
conformity
vnto
his
commandements
.
Therefore
it
seemed
fit
to
him
to
take
the
opportunity
which
the
time
offered
,
to
worke
that
which
former
time
could
not
compasse
.
But
finding
all
this
(
how
necessary
so
euer
)
crossed
by
them
,
which
should
rather
haue
giuen
furtherance
to
it
,
construing
his
actions
astending
to
innouation
,
likely
to
stirre
dissention
,
and
produce
danger
.
He
confessed
that
he
was
much
disconraged
,
but
yet
would
pursue
his
course
in
the
best
manner
he
could
(
being
so
restrayned
.
)
For
the
view
of
mens
Charters
,
wherewith
hee
was
charged
,
hee
denied
that
euer
he
intended
,
much
lesse
practised
the
Accusers
malice
and
slander
.
Hee
confessed
that
hee
had
vrged
some
of
them
to
take
the
Oath
of
obedience
,
and
gaue
his
reason
for
it
,
for
finding
their
obstinacie
,
and
repugnance
to
reason
in
Parliament
;
he
held
this
the
best
meanes
to
try
their
sidelily
by
,
concluding
with
all
humility
,
which
tasted
something
,
neuerthelesse
,
of
passion
and
griefe
,
for
it
must
needes
trouble
him
to
see
his
zealous
care
,
to
assure
all
things
to
the
good
of
his
Prince
,
mistaken
by
the
malice
of
his
Aduersaries
,
whose
whole
ayme
being
but
at
their
owne
particular
,
were
not
so
sensible
as
they
should
haue
beene
,
how
they
euerted
the
publique
by
pudling
the
water
wherein
their
fish
lay
.
And
to
strengthen
this
their
information
,
to
the
end
hee
might
be
made
the
more
distastfull
to
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
Lords
of
her
Counsell
.
Some

▪
hee
intended

pound
per

sterling
;
so
making
the
yoake
of
her
Gouernment
to
appeare
heauie
and
insupportable
.
But
not
long
after
some
of
those
Lords
(
finding
themselues
abused
)
as

Heathe

by

expressing
sorrow
for
mistaking

,
acknowledging
his
fatherly
care
of
them
,
&
the
Country
:
(
for
those
were
the
words
of
their
Letter
)
and
that
they
would
not
haue
written
against
him
,
neither
for
the
former
particular
,
nor
for
the
suspension
of
Poynings
Act
,
if
they
had
discerned
or
vnderstood
what
they
now
found
of
his
disposition
,
to
doe
them
,
and
the
Country
right
.
This
shewes
in
what
a
slippery
seare
they
fit
,
that
gouerne
that
Kingdome
,
for
Innocencie
is
not
alwayes
safe
,
though
it
be
euer
best
,
for
it
cannot
bee
free
from
imputation
,
when
it
is
free
from
corruption
,
the
vnder-Instruments
of
State
aduauncing
themselues
thereby
.
Notwithstanding
these
complaints
,
crossings
and
backbitings
,
the
Deputy
like
a
carefull
Common-wealths
man
,
and
iust
seruant
to
his
Prince
,
professed
he
would
proceede
on
to
the
discharge
of
his
duty
,
as
long
as
he
held
that
place
,
esteeming
it
better
to
be
disgraced
for
doing
well
,
then
to
be
remiss
in
doing
well
.
Therefore
care
is
had
,
to
settle
a
Composition

Cannaught
sutable
to
that
in
Vlster
,

for
the
encrease

setling

;
for
the
preuention
of
such
mischiefes
as
had
happened
formerly
,
there
by
their
disagreement
,
and
for
the
reformation
of
such
enormities
,
as
were
frequent
by
the
dependencie
of
the
mean
person
,
vpon
the

To
this
purpose
in

so

innocencie
cleared
him
(
though
too
late
)
from
their
aspersion
,
&
brought
him
to
a
new
&
further
aduancement
in
that
Kingdome
,
though
his
great
heart
(
disdayning
the
iniustice
was
done
him
)
would
not
hold
out
long
enough
,
to
prosecute
the
seruice
which
was
in
his
power
to
performe
:
but
ere
I
come
to
relate
this
tragicall
misdeede
,
I
must
mention
his
vertuous
actions
,
by
which
hee
got
the
hate
of
his
worthlesse
Aduersaries
,
and
must
recommend
the
Earle
of
Clanrikard
,
who
being
a
most
noble
Gentleman
,
and
loyall
Subiect
,
was
one
of
the
principall
in
this
Seruice
.
After
treaties
,
succeeded
Inquisitions
to
finde
what
quantity
there
was
in
each
Barony
,
The
couenants
between
the
Queene
,
and
the
Lords
of
Connaught
.
and
who
were
found
owners
thereof
.
Indentures
were
drawne
betweene
the
Deputy
in
the
behalfe
of
the
Queene
on
the
one
part
,
and
the
chiefe
possessioners
in
the
seuerall
Precincts
on

expressing
so
many
quarters
and
quantities
of
Land
,
with
the
Rents
thereon
reserued

and
such
other

as
were

In

subscribed
to
an

of
couenants
for
the
perpetuall
,
paying
out
of
the
nine
Baronies
of
that
County
,
amounting
177
quarters
.
Certaine
Freedomes
were
granted
to
some
speciall
persons
:
some
quarters
of
Land
to
be
exempted
from
this
imposition
:
In
consideration
whereof
,
the
Lords

Owners
of
those

did
likewise
couenaot

with
all
elections

and
customary
diuisions
of

(
which
had
occasioned
great
strife
and
diuision
amongst

)
should
be
thenceforth
vtterly

,
as
there
remained
1200

,
which
amounted
to
sixe
hundred

in

There
was
also

By
the
eighth
of
September
1585
,
the
Commissioners
had
trauailed

Countries
:
So
that
as
Sir
Nicholas
White
certified
to
the
Lord
Deputy
,
they
conceiued
hope
to
come
home
loaden
with
Pledges
,
and
leaue
that
Country
vnloaden
of
many
Macks
and
Oos
,
translated
by
their
owne
assent
(
vnto
which
their
hands
&
Seales
were
had
)
to
a
better
course
,
and
more
certainty
of
liuing
,
then
hitherto
they
could
afford
themselues
.
In
the
aduertisement
of
these
affaires
,
Sir
Nicholas
White
did
propound
vnto
the
Deputy
an
ingenious
Enigma
or
Ridle
.
That
all
sorts
were
eased
with
their
bearing
,
and
yet
her
Maiesties
reuenue
,
with
the
Liuings
of
the
Lords
encreased
.
From
the
County
of
Mayo
the
Commissioners
were
to
repasse
to
the
County
of
Sligo
,
and
so
homewards
to
the
County
of
Roscoman
.
The
Commissioners
doubtfull
to
meddle
with
Orurk
.
With
Orurkes
Country
called
Letrim
,
they
were
doubtfull
how
to
meddle
,
considering
the
condition
of
himselfe
and
his
Country
,
both
vnciuill
and
vnruly
.
In
those
places
where
they
had
dealt
,
they
began
to
erect
Mannours
to
hold
of
her
Maiestie
,
besides
the
Compositions
and
Royalties
reserued
vnto
the
Crowne
.
Vpon
the
returne
of
this
Commission
,
and
the
Indentures
thereupon
drawne
,
as
formerly
mentioned
.
It
appeareth
there
were
found
in
that
Prouince
8169
quarters
of
Land
,
whereof
Freedomes
were
graunted
to
2339
,
so
then
remained

there
were
reserued

The
Tawnist
was
cut
off
in
that
Prouince
.
Mac
William
Enghters
Country
being
the
lower
Bourkes
,
was
deuided
into
fiue
parts
.
The
Lords
and
their
Tenants
were
agreed
together
for
a
certaine
Rent
,
in
lieu
of
all
exactions
.
That
Prouince
was
deuided
into
sixe
Counties
or
Shieres
,
where
there
were
but
three
before
:
for
so
I
finde
it
in
a
note
vnder
the
Deputies
,
Sir
Iohn
Perrots
owne
hand
,
yet
by
another
painefull
Author
I
see
it
mentioned
,
that
Sir
Henry
Sidney
made
the
whole
sixe
Counties
,
Clare
,
Galway
,
Sligo
,
Mayo
,
Roscomon
,
and
Letrim
,
then
but
one
,
as
he
had
formerly
done
,
the
County
of
Longford
in
Lemster
,
being
before
called
the
Annaly
or
Oferralls
Country
;
but
I
suppose
he
is

peraduenture
named
by
Sir
Henry
Sidney
,
but
perfected
by
Sir
Iohn
Perrot
.
Iustices
of
Assize
were
ordained
,
and
Shriefes
,
and
Iustices
of
the
Peace
,
with
other
inferiour
Officers
,
were
established
in
most
parts
of
this
Prouince
.
This
Seruice
so
auaileable
to
the
State
by
cutting
off
the
Inferiours
,
depending
onely
vpon
the
Superiour
,
was
affected
beyond
the
expectation
of
many
,
who
could
not
conceiue
,
that
Chiefetaines
would
easily
condiscend
to
quit
their
cuttings
,
Cosherias
,
and
other
Irish
exactions
of
so
long
continuance
and
custome
,
which
the
people
had
borne
so
long
,
as
they
thought
it
now
no
burthen
,
knowing
no
better
,
&
feeling
that
least
wherwith
they
had
so
long
bin
acquainted
.
But
now
the
Chiefes
vnderstanding
,
that
they
should
haue
freedom
of
lands
instead
,
&
lieu
of
their
Chieferies
,
&
the
people
by
perswasion
,
brought
to
beleeue
,
and
perceiue
,
they
should
by
this
meanes
liue
more
free
from
exaction
,
both
yeelded
to
this
composition
,
which
to
this
day
doth
continue
.
If
this
Seruice
had
proceeded
(
as
the
Deputy
intended
)
as
well
through
the
whole
Prouince
,
as
in
these
parts
,
and
so
extended
to
the
rest
of
the
Kingdome
:
it
had
surely
introduced
peace
and
wealth
amongst
the
people
,
with
obedience
,
and
encrease
of
reuenue
to
the
Prince
,
which
at
that
time
might
easily
haue
beene
affected
:
but
the
bloud
and
fatall
mischiefes
threatned
vnto
that
vnhappy
Kingdome
,
were
not
to
bee
preuented
by
the
care
and
industry
of
this
good
Gouernour
,
whose
workes
(
though
built
vpon
the
strong
foundation
of
zeale
,
knowledge
,
and
integrity
)
were
shaken
by
the
stormes
,
blowne
from
the
breath
of
his
maligners
both
here
&
there
,
vsing

Engine

vp

no

tooke
away
her
Maiesties

opinion
of
his

,
to
doe
her
Seruice
,
so
as
his
faith
was
interpreted
to
be
vaineglory
,
which
being
by
him
vnderstood
,
discouraged
his
proceeding
,
and
finding
all
his
actions
(
if
not
slighted
)
yet
brought
within
the
compasse
of
suspition
(
a
hard
reward
for
so
much
merit
)
hee
was
much
perplexed
:
But
heere
his
misfortune
rested
not
;
for
now
the
most
perillous
practise
of
his
Enemies
began
to
breake
forth
,
which
fatally
in
short
time
proued
his
ruine
.
Denis
Oroughans
practise
discouered
.
One
Dennis
Oroughan
,
who
had
beene
a
Romish
Priest
,
counterfeited
certaine
Warrants
in
the
name
of
the
Deputy
,
directed
to
all
the
Queenes
Officers
within
the
Realme
of
Ireland
,
vnto
which
Warrants
the
name
of
the
Deputy
was
set
in
the
vsuall
place
of
Assignation
:
In
them
was
a
generall
pardon
graunted
to
the
Priest
,
without
limitation
of
time
,
or
exception
of
any
offence
,
terming
the
Realme
of
Ireland
and
Councell
thereof
,
as
if
they
had
beene
his
,
and

King
of
it
and
them
,
contrary
to
all
vsuall
forme
,
which
seemed
not
to
be
the
Priests
owne
deuice
,
because
the
extraordinary
forme
must
needes
bring
it
in
question
,
and
thereby
make
it
of
no
auaile
to
him
,
but
the
Priest
being
a
fit
instrument
,
in
respect
of
his
offence
,
and
the
fitter
through
an
extraordinary
villany
grafted
in
him
,
was
wrought
by
others
to
take
vpon
him
this
part
,
to
manifest
the
Deputies
ambition
,
and
thereby
make
him
odious
to
the
State
here
;
which
deuillish
plot
was
more
timely
discouered
,
then
the
Plotters
wished
,
for
the
Priest
being
taken
with
these
counterfeited
Warrants
(
vpon
other
suspition
)
and
brought
before
the
Archbishop
of
Cashell
,
who
taking
paines
in
the
examination
of
him
,
discouered
that
these
Warrants
were
written
by
one
Henry
Birde
,
Register
to
the
high
Commission
.
Aduertisement
was
giuen
hereof
to
the
Deputy
,
a
Commission
thereupon
was
directed
to
the
Lord
Primate
,
Sir
Henry
Wallop
,
and
Sir
Nicholas
White
,
to
call
Birde
before
them
,
and
to
make
search
amongst
his
papers
thereby
,
as
by
his
examination
,
to
finde
the
meaning
of
these
counterfeited
papers
of
warrant
.
At
first
hee
denied
the
writing
of
the
Warrants
,
but
afterwards
being
tripped
in
his
Answeres
,
hee
confessed
hee
wrote
them
;
but
stifly

which
(
as
it

her

defrauded
of

he
brought
into

the

lay
:
vpon
the
first
notice
thereof
he
wrote
vnto
the
Lords

Councell
in

,
who
thereupon
gaue
commaundement
vnto
the
Lord
Chancellour

the
Bishop

to
make
the
Authors
knowne

discouery
,
shewing
the
dangerous
consequence
that
followed
such
practises
of
publishing
secrets
,
which
did
concerne
the
State
;
but
they
for
some
particular
respects
(
as
it
should
seeme
)
disobeyed
that
commaundement
,
though
the
Queene
her selfe
did
after
expresly
require
it
to
be
done
.
And
withall
,
she
wrote
vnto
the
Lord
Chancellour
,
charging
him
to
forbeare
contestation
with
the
Deputy

could
not

they

for

superiority
(
being
of
more
value

did
so
ouer-possesse
them
,
as
they
not

entred
into
a

conspiracy

for
the
maintenance
of
that
their
lawlesse
intrusion
,
which
being
shaken
by
the
composition
,
they
intended
now
to

And
for
the
better
effecting
this
euill

they
perswaded

The
number
of

were
vncertaine

being
by
some
estimated
to
be
2700
,
and
by
others
little
aboue

being

made
more

withall
that

had
not
sufficient
power
to

so
great
a

durst

rely

for
the
most

were
allyed
to

the
Inducers

,
to

he
receiued

receiued

Vpon
this
the
Gouernours
intelligence
,
it
was
debated
in

,
whether
the

should
goe
in

with
such
power
as
could
be
there
prouided

to

which
the

alledged
,
to
be
most
necessary

for

better
countenancing

those
not

so

that
the

was
to
vndertake
the

,
the
more
stiffe
they
were
to

it
,
alledging
for
their
reasons
,
that
the
number
of
the

were
not
so
great
as
was
reported
;

therefore
it
was
inconueuient
to
put

a

would
require

Neuerthelesse
,
the

with
some
of

Councell
,
sought
to
perswade
the
contrary
,
considering
Sir

Binghams
diffidence
in
the
assistance
of

,
the
weakenesse
of

Forces
there
(

number
of
the
Inuadors
being
certainly
knowne
to
be
aboue
1600
,
besides
the
daily
supplies
of
the
euill
affected
Irish
,
so
as
it
could
not
but
be
dangerous
,
not
onely
to
that
Prouince
,
but
to
the
whole
Kingdome
,
to
hazard
a

greater
charge
after
,
by
the

is

so
it
was

(

that

dispatched
the

of

,
(
in
whom
he
reposed
good
confidence
)
and
in
respect
of
his
faith
and
worthinesse
had
good
reason
,
with
some
fewe
Horse
,
and
three
Companies
of
Foote
,
ioyned
with
his
brother
George
Bingham
,
then
Shireffe
of
the
County
of
Sligo
,
who
had
lately
leauied
some
Shot
and
Horsemen
,
before
the
comming
of
the
Earle
.
They
being
thus
vnited
,
were
directed
to
stand
vpon
their
Guard
,
and
to
coast

Enemie
as

should

Sir

himselfe

in

at

Abby
of

,
found
Sir
Thomas
Lestrange
with
the
Rising
out
of
the
Country
,
whom
he
left
to
defend
those
parts
.
At
Sligo
he
was
enformed
,
that
the
Ilanders
lay
still
at
the
Riuer
of
Earne
,
some
on
one
side
,
and
some
on
the
other
,
that
Sir
Arte
Oneale
,
and
Sir
Hugh
Macguire
,
had
sent
them
ayde
,
so
that
their
number
was
much
encreased
.
The
comming
of
the
Gouernour
to
Sligo
,
and
the
pacification
of
the
County
of
Mayo
being
bruted
,
made
their
aboade
the
longer
about
the
Riuer
of
Earne
and
Bundroys
,
to
expect
more
ayde
from
their
Confederates
,
and
to
procure
that
some
new
stirre
might
be
raised
within
the
Country
,
whereby
the
Gouernour
might
be
enforced
to
deuide
his

The
Gouernour
on

other
side
lay
at

,
and
the
Curlews
about
fourteene

In

And

The

which
Sir
Richard
caused
to

reported
to

;
and
suddenly
so
soone
as
he
knew
their
aboad
,
and
that
they
were
growne
secure
,
marcheth
with
speed
and
encamped
within
twelue
miles
of

,
whence
he
rose
before
breake
of

,
and
came
within
two
miles
of
their
Campe
,
before
nine
of
the
Clocke
in
the
Morning
,
with
his
Horse
,
where
he
made
a
stand
a
while
,
for
the
comming
vp
of
the
Foote
;
then
passed
on
with
such
silence
&
celerity
,
as
he
approached
their
Campe
within
halfe
a
mile
before
they
knew
any
thing
of
his
comming
;
assuring
themselues
by
rumours
,
that
hee
durst
not
attempt
them
:
so
that
his
Scouts
,
which
he
had
sent
before
to
discouer
how
they
were
lodged
,
fell
in
vpon
them
vnexpected
,
and
gaue
them
a
fearefull
Alarume
;
who
being
thus
surprised
,
standing
without
any
guard
,
did
neuerthelesse
,
striue
to
make
head
,
but
Sir
Richard
charging
,
and
recharging
them
with
his
Horse
,
kept
them
in
disorder
,
which
they
assayed
to
amend
,
by
drawing
toward
the
Bogg
,
where
they
might
auoide
the
force
of
the
Horse
,
but
Sir
Richard
knowing
before
that
he
should
driue
them
to
that
shift
,
had
sent
his
brother
Captaine
Iohn
Bingham
with
the
Foot
to
approach
them
that
way
;
who
meeting
them
,
they
were
charged

in

,
which
quickly
disordered
them
wholy
,
and
so
broken
,
were
soone
dismayed
,
and
put
to
rout
;
neither
did
hee
leaue
them
any
place
of
safety
to
flye
vnto
,
but
forced
them
to
take
the
Riuer
where
such
as
were
not
slaine
by
the
sword
were
drowned
,
none
escaping
of
aboue
3000
,
excepting
some
fourescore
,
part
of
whom
were
slaine
by
George
Bingham
,
and
the
rest
by
their
friends
the
Burkes
,
that
had
drawne
them
thither
,
who
thought
that
the
best
meanes
to
insinuate
with
the
State
,
by
such
being
the
reward
which
the
partaker
of
Treason
may
expect
from
the
Traytor
,
yet
a
fewe

some

7
escaped
by
the
wily
conduct
of
Shane
Mac

Erle
,
a
Bastard
of

Before
this
discomfiture
was
giuen
,
the
Deputy
fearing
the
Gouernours
strength
,
was
not
great
enough
to
encounter
the
Enemie

in

of
their
number
,
(
which
indeede
had
not
beene
,
if

had
beene

Commaunder

so
iudicious

by
the

,
being

he
heard
of

Sir
Richard
Bingham
,
when
The
Deputy
discontented
,
that
he
came
not
time
enough
to
ouerthrow
the
Scots
himselfe
.
it
was
a
question
whether
hee
were
more
glad
that
the
Seruice
to
her
Maiesty
was
performed
,
or
sorrie
that
himselfe
in
person
was
preuented
of
the
honour
therof
;
which
doubtlesse
besides
the
greatnesse
of
his
spirit
,
for
other
causes
he
much
desired
,
as
well
to
manifest
the
Councels
errour
in
disswading
his
iourney
,
as
to
satisfie
his
friends
in
England
of
the
necessity
thereof
;
so
as
he
could
not
chuse
but
emulate
the
Gouernours
good
successe
;
who
on
the
other
side
made
the
more
speed
in
his
businesse
,
not
onely
to
gaine
the
honour
,
but
to
shew
the
State
,
the
benefit
of
his
long
experience
.
By
this
victory
,
whereby
the
bed
of
Rebellion
was
in
that
Prouince
,
at
that
time
broken
.
The
Deputy
had
lesse
cause
to
make
any
long
aboade
there
,
where
hee
remained
but
tenne
dayes
,
taking
order
for
such
affaires
,
as
the
present
State
of
the
Country
,
and
particular
mens
causes
and
controuersies
did
require
:
wherein
he
made
the
more
speede
for
the
ease
of
the
Queenes
Charge
,
vpon
which
prouidence
,
most
vnwisely
,
his
ignorant
Aduersaries
through
malice
,
insisted
,
for
much
more
time
might
otherwise
to
good
purpose
haue
beene
spent
,
in
rooting
out
the
originall
cause
of
this
Inuasion
,
and
securing
the
after
time
of
any
the
like
Confederacy
.
But
all
things
being
now
whist
,
and
no
commotion
at
that
time
appearing
,
the
Deputy
retired
to

,
to

there
being

giuen
them

by

departure
thence

There
the
Deputy
bent
his
course
to
satisfie
all
the
Subiects
in
their
iust
complaints
,
amongst
which
some
priuate

were
alledged

,
by

was

The
Tenants
of

Baronies
within
the
said
County
,
exhibited
their
seuerall
complaints
against
Patrick
White
and
William
Brataugh
,
Collectours
;
most
of
the
offences
alledged
were
triuiall
,
as
the
taking
of
distresses
,
being
of
greater
value
then
their
Rents
amounted
to
,
with
the
laying
more
Cess
,
for
Horsemen
and
Boyes
,
vpon
the
Country
,
(
which
did
accompany
the
Collectors
&
their
Serieants
)
then
was
meete
for
that
Seruice
.
These
things
being
examined
,
and
the
proofes
returned
by
the
Commissioners
,
the
Deputy
,
though
he
saw
them
to

Shortly

vpon

were

of

,
hauing
both

whereunto
the

might
haue
bin
entitled

if

as
were
notorious
disturbers
of

Country
and

To
which
Commission
the
Deputy
added
instruction
to
the
Iustices
,
who
were
to
examine
the
particular
complaints
,
and
all
parties
therevpon

&
to

At

the

,
their

,
abilities
,
and
qualities
examined
,
who
had
beene
executed
by

the

found
that

not

at
a
very
little

,
whereof
part
was
restored
vnto
the

the
rest
being
but
of
the
value
of
twenty
shillings
,
were
deuided
betweene
the
Sheriffe
and
his
Officers
.
They
found
likewise
that
the
Sheriffe
had
not
omitted
to
doe
his
endeuour
,
for
the
apprehension
of
any
notorious
malefactour
,
or

thereof
,
finding
no

to
cleare

,
signified
so
much
vnto

,
that

some
dislike
betweene
the
Earle
and
the

,
which
in
time
grew
to
a
heart-burning
,
though
in
former
time
they
had
beene
ancient
and
inward
friends

now
the
profit
and
command
of
the

questioned
by
the
Authority

conuerted
friendship
into
enmity

Though
at

there
were
a

tranquillity
through
the

,
yet
it
could
not

Walter
Reughs
entring
into
Rebellion
.
Of
such
at
this
time
one
Walter
Reugh
Fitz
Morice
,
a
Geraldine
,
but
not
of
the
right
line
,
(
degenerating
from
the
race
he
pretended
to
be
discended
of
)
entred
into
actuall
Rebellion
.
This
man
vpon
some
great
discontent
,
and
an
euill
disposition
in
himselfe
,
with
as
bad
an
affection
to
the
State
,
associated
to
him
:
company
of
lewd
and
filching
people
,
then
committing
stealthes
in
the
Country
.
With
these
he
betooke
himselfe
to
the
Woods
and
Bogs
,
being
the
fastnesses
of
the
Countries
,
Kilkenny
,
Waxford
,
and
some
parts
of
Leix
.
His
party
in
short
time
encreased
by
the
resort
vnto
him
of
some
of
the
Oburnes
and
Tooles
,
with
whom
one
night
by
force
he
entred
the
house
of
Iohn
Asman
▪
dwelling
in
the
Moroughs
Country
whom
they
murthered
,
and
preyed
of
all
the
Cattell
,
Sheepe
,
and
Goods
he
had
about
his
house
,
which
murther
and
spoile
was
suspected
to
proceede
from
the
Conspiracie
of
some
discended
of
the
English
,
who
vpon
priuate
grudge
and
malice
had
drawne
the
Rebels
to
fall
vpon
him
;
vpon
examination
whereof
some
were
apprehended
as
culpable
.
Walter
Reugh
himselfe
was
so
straightly
pursued
(
by
the
Deputies
speciall
direction
)
as
from
thence
hee
was
enforced
to
flye
to
the
Mountaines
,
where
he
endured
great
misery
;
yet
in
the
end
vpon
his
humble
and
earnest
sute
,
putting

The
deuision
of
Desmonds
Lands
into
Signories
.
About
this
time
Commissioners
were
sent
out
of
England
,
to
deuide
Desmonds
Lands
,
which
after
an
exact
suruay
made
of
all
the
Lands
,
were
deuided
into
Signories
and
halfe
Signories
,
and
disposed
to
diuers
personages
of
good
quality
of
the
Kingdome
of
England
:
but
in
this
the
Deputy
had
no
hand
,
which
,
as
he
had
cause
,
he
tooke
to
be
a
discountenance
to
his
Authority
,
and
Place
,
wherein
hee
felt
the
Queenes
displeasure
.
A
Regiment
of
Irish
sent
with
Sir
William
Stanley
into
the
Low-Countries
.
Not
long
before
,
a
thousand
of
the
Irish
were
sent
into
the
Low-Countries
,
vnder
the
commaund
of
Sir
William
Stanley
,
by
an
especiall
direction
out
of
England
,
and
at
the
same
time
,
order
came
to
the
Deputy
for
the
cashiring
Order
for
the
casting
of
the
Forces
in
Vlster
.
of
the
Vlster
Forces
,
which
the
Deputy
had
raised
by
Composition
,
as
is
formerly
mentioned
:
Two
acts
,
as
pernicious
,
as
that
time
could
afford
,
to
the
publique
Seruice
,
as
the
sequell
made
manifest
;
for
the
first
not
onely
proued
the
losse
of
a
worthy
Gentleman
,
who
had
valiantly
and
successiuely
serued
in
that
Kingdome
.
Hee
meeting
in
the
Low-Countries
with
sharper
conceites
then
his
owne
,
and
finding
him
ignorantly
wauering
betweene
two
Religions
,
fastned
him
to
the
worse
,
and
consequently
made
him
to
the
State
,
a
Traytor
;
against
whom
he
hath
since
done
great
mischiefe
,
prouing
one
of
the
best
Captaines
vnder
the
Spaniards
Commaund
.
Besides
,
those
Irish
that
went
with
him
,
haue
beene
a
Seminary
of
Traytors
to
afflict
that
Kingdome
,
of
whom
some
yet
liue
to
threaten
no
lesse
hereafter
.
And
the
other
,
those
Forces
in
Vlster
so
cast
,
was
not
onely
the
pulling
of
the
bridle
from
the
heads
of
those
inconstant
people
,
which
no
sooner
off
,
but
they
ranne
headlong
againe
into
new
practises
,
but
likewise
proned
a
trebble
charge
to
her
Maiestie
in
ensuing
time
,
as
more
particularly
shall
be
expressed
in
the
storie
following
,
yet
the
chiefe
reason
alledged
,
for
their
disbanding
was
the
ease
of
the
Queenes
charge
,
who
was
enformed
,
that
it
was
a
needlesse
thing
to
keepe
Garrisons
in
time
of
peace
;
and
this
burthen
layd
vpon
the
Country
,
would
in
time
breake
the
peoples
obedience
in
those
parts
,
where
they
began
already
to
grudge
.
Thus
much
the
Queene
signified
in
a
Letter
,
partly
written
with
her
owne
hand
,
vnto
which
shee
was
wrought
by
such
as
were
aduerse
to
the
Deputy
,
and
desirous
to
weaken
his
worke
in
that
Kingdome
,
whose
enuies
were
set
the
more
on
fire
by
the
wily
trickes
of
Tyrone
,
who
tooke
this
opportunity
to
lay
the
foundation
of
his
ensuing
rebellion
,
finding
their
hearts
bent
to
vse
all
meanes
that
might
extenuate
the
Deputies
merrit
,
and
weaken
his
Gouernement
.
This
Letter
of
the
Queenes
,
as
it
raised
wonder
in
the
Deputy
,
knowing
it
tasted
not
off
her
high
Iudgement
;
so
it
gaue
griefe
to
him
to
see
such
preposterous
Councels
take
effect
against
his
faithfull
endeuours
,
which
The
Deputies

Sir
William
Stanly

Queene
and
Councell

hee
tooke
occasion
to
expresse
by
his
Letter
,
vpon
the
dispatch
of
Sir
William
Stanley
,
wherein
he
signified
he
had
performed
her
Maiesties
pleasure
,
but
could
not
suppresse
his
griefe
,
nor
in
duty
conceale
that
,
which
he
conceiued
would
proue
perillous
to
her
Seruice
,
and
disgracefull
to
himselfe
in
that
place
of
Authority
,
he
held
vnder
her
Maiestie
,
especially
for
remouing
the
Garrison
of
the
North
so
soone
in
a
State
so
vnsetled
.
And
although
the
submission
of
the
Chiefes
,
with
the
generall
obedience
of
the
people
,
did
seeme
to
promise
nothing
but
peace
,
yet
considering
the
attempts
of
her
Maiesties
forraigne
Forces
,
and
the
ficklenesse
of
that
people
(
newly
brought
to
a
shewe
of
conformity
)
hee
could
not
assure
their
loyalties
,
much
lesse
establish
such
things
as
he
had
begun
,
and
further
intended
for
the
good
,
and
aduancement
of
her
Maiesties
seruice
,
and
that
these
Souldiers
being
thus
cashiered
(
who
were
a
tye
vpon
such
as
had
mindes
to
be
troublesome
)
which
were
900
,
her
Maiesty
being
at
charge
but
of
little
more
then
800
pound
a
yeare
,
the
rest
being
bome
by
the
Country
.
So
that
now
her
charge
being
reduced
to
the
rate
it
was
at
his
comming
to
the
Gouernement
,
before
the
raysing
of
Forces
,
to
resist
them
that
did

,
and

he

proue
an

spending
of
greater
summes
,
with
more
perill
to
Her
and
her
Country
.
He
likewise
wrote
after
his
plaine
and
passionate
manner
to
the
Queene
,
that
her
sharpe
reprehension
,
and
restraint
of
his
gouernment
,
with
some
taxe
layde
on
his
iudgement
,
made
him
now
stand
to
the
world
,
vasit
(
as
hee
alwayes
conceiued
of
himselfe
)
to
mannage
the
weighty
affaires
of
such
a
place
,
and
therefore
he
besought
her
that
shee
would
be
pleased
to
reuoke
him
thence
,
or
at
the
leaft
to
lycenoe
his
accesse
vnto
her
presence
,
as
well
for
answering
the
calumniations
of
his
Aduersaries
,
as
to
discouer
some
things
for
the
furtherance
of
her
seruice
in
that
Kingdome
;
proffering
(
If
The
Deputies

Lords
.
her
Maiesty
were
so
pleased
)
to
bring
with
him
the
Lords
,
and
chiefe
Irish
Commanders
of
that
Country
:
so
that
she
would
be
pleased
to
disburse
3000
pound
,
ready
for
them
to
receiue
at
their
landing
in
England
,
to
defray
their
charges
(
they
being
owners
of
much
Land
and
Cattell
,
but
not
of
money
)
which
should
hee
repayed
at
reasonable
prices
in
Beefes
,
for
her
Maiesties
profit
in
the
payment
of
her
Forces
there
.
This
hee
thought
would
make
much
for
the
furtherance
of
her
Maiesties
seruice
,
since
the
chiefe
men
of
that
Kingdome
comming
ouer
in
that
sort
,
should
take
their
Lands
by
such
tenure
,
as
her
Highnesse
should
prescribe
,
whereof
diuers
of
them
had
already
made
offer
vnto
him
.
Besides
,
it
would
be
a
greater
honour
vnto
her
,
to
haue
more
of
the
greatest
and
wildest
Chiefetaines
of
Countries
in
Ireland
,
to
prostrate
themselues
and
their
estate
,
at
her
Maiesties
feete
and
pleasure
in
England
,
then
euer
had
beene
performed
to
any
of
her
Noble
predecessours
.
The
Deputies
offer
silenced
.
But
this
complaint
and
offer
so
made
vnto
the
Queene
,
was
silenced
,
and
tooke
little
effect
,
either
through
the
vnderhand-working
of
the
Deputies
Aduersaries
,
or
else
through
the
presse
and
multitude
of
weighty
affaires
then
in
hand
in
England
,
to
defend
the
Netherlands
,
and
to
preuent
Inuasion
,
with
other
perils
threatned
to
her
Maiestie
and
her
Dominions
,
which
might
perhaps
put
out
of
minde
,
or
at
least
,
set
back
for
the
time
,
the
consideration
of
that
,
which
at
this
season
did
most
concerne
Ireland
.
Within
short
time
after
,
the
Companies
of
Souldiers
were
remoued

with

Amongst

complaints
were
moued
by
Macquire
against
Mac

and
the
Earle
of
Tyrone
for
trespasses

Sir

Macquire
being
behinde-hand
for
his
Composition

and
charged
with
doing
some
things

was
sent

by

required
to
performe
what
was

for
him
to

;
or
else
to
repaire
vnto
his
prefence
,
to
answere

contempts
;
which
message
was
sent
vnto
him
by
Sir

,
who
appoints

complayneth
on
the

of

,
and
Mac
Mahone
,
desiring
him
not
to
beleeue
complaints
against
him
,
and
offereth
to
double
the
pledges
,
hee
had
put
in
,
if
any
doubt
were
had
of
his
good
disposition
to
the
State
.
Mac
Mahone
likewise
exhibites
his
agreeuance
against
Tyrone
,
for
Ceasing
in
his
Countrey
,
and
compelling
him
to
maintaine
Horsemen

the

freeing
Mac
Mahone
from

The

complaints

aduising
him
to

in

men
of

would
easily

This
admonition
Sir
Richard
tooke
somewhat
vnkindly
,
as
a
mistike
of
his
Gouernement
,
and
resteaint
of
his
proceedings
against
Orurke

and
did
not
stick
to
tell
the

afterward
at
the
Councell
Table
,
that

Lordship
gaue
countenance
to
Orurke

vnto
the
diminution

So
difficult
it
was
for
the

to
appease
or
reconcile
a
difference
betweene
so
stout

Commaunder
,
and
so
factious

their
late
strugling
,
so
as
standing
without
partakers
,
hee
would
the
more
surely
fall
,
or
at
least
bee
brought
with
more
facility
to
the
path
of
obedience
,
being
the
onely
man
now
to
be
doubted
in
that
Prouince
,
hauing
in
his
possession
the
strongest
and
fastest
Country
there
.
And
it
is
not
vnlikely
but
the
Deputy
would
haue
ioyned
with
him
therein
,
if
he
had
not
had
priuate
reasons
to
the
contrary
,
arising
from
the
present
question
of
his
actions
in
England
,
and
his
desire
and
sute
to
be
reuoked
thence
,
which
were
things
onely
knowne
to
himselfe
.
These
distempers
now
yet
but
flashes
,
which
were
kindled
by
discontent
,
were
quenched
by
care
and
prouidence
,
and
had
they
not
beene
well
met
within
time
,
would
haue
growne
to
greater
flames
of
commotion
,
and
did
afterwards
arise
againe
,
for
want
of
like
circumspection
in
the
succeeding
Gouernment
,
which
argued
both
the
wisedome
of
the
Gouernour
,
who
would
haue
taken
the
time
to
take
away
the
cause
,
and
the
preuailing
power

Deputy

While

was

to
preuent
perils
which
might

within

Some
of

A

.
his
disquiet
and
disgrace
.
Amongst
other
inuentions
,
Reports
were
raised
,
that
hee
should
presently
be
reuoked
,
and
another
sent
in
his
place
,
being
a
thing
not
as
yet
thought
on
in
England
,
whereof
so
soone
as
hee
had
notice
,
though
he
esteemed
them
but
as
rumours
,
yet
lice
tooke
occasion
to
renue
his
suite
vnto
the
Queene
for
his
remouing
:
And
besought
her
,
if
such
were
her
pleasure
,
which
hee
humbly
desired
,
and
shewed
reasons
for
such
his
desire
,
that
yet
her
Highnesse
would
suppresse
the
opinion
,
and
publishing
thereof
,
vntill
his
successour
should
be
ready
to
come
ouer
,
because
he
knew
by
experience
,
that
the
wauering
and
worst
sort
of
people
in
that
Kingdome
,
were
apt
to
take
aduantage

vpon
the
alteration
of

in

The

with

Letter
to
the

of
the
notice
they
had
taken
,
of

from

they
therein
testified
to
haue

prouidence
,
for
the
good
of
that
Kingdome
,
whereby
they
had
enioyed
much
peace
and
prosperity
:
for
the
truth
wherof
they
appealed
vnto
them
,
whom
they
besought
as
they
tendered
the
welfare
of
their
Countrey
,
to
bee
a

for
the
retayning

what
hee
had
begun
,
and
was
likely
to
bring
vnto
a

end
,
if
he
remained
amongst

The
Lords
of
the
English
Pale
vpon
receite
of
this
Letter
,
though
many
of
them
(
as
is
said
)
had
beene
wrought
to
write
against
the
Deputie
,
yet
now
acknowledging
the
same
the
Gentry
did
,
wrote
a
particular
Letter
,
which
they
sent
vnto
the
Queene
,
desiring
the
continuance
of
the
present
Deputy
amongst
them
,
giuing
him
all
the
specious
attributes
,
could
be
yeelded
an
extraordinary
Patron
of
that
poore
Country
,
some
of
them
(
as
is
already
mentioned
)
recanting
their
errour
of
accusing
him
of
heauy
and
tirannous
courses
,
now
called
him
the
Father
of
that
poore
Kingdome
,
setting
forth
his
fatherlike
care
for
the
vniuersall
tranquillity
,
and
the
administration
of
particular
Iustice
.
These
Letters
though
they
needed
not
,
for
as
yet
there
was
no
intention
of
his
calling
thence
;
yet
they
gaue
a
sharpe
blowe
to
his
Aduersaries
,
whose
informations
must
needes
be
suspected
to
proceede
onely
out
of
malice
,
since
the
parties
that
most
felt
the
good
and
euill
of
Gouernement
,
gaue
this
testimony
of
him
,
which
they
did
in
respect
of
the
feare
they
had
of
his
remoue
(
being
so
bruted
,
as
well
in
approbation
of
his

like
to

The
practise
of
such
as
he
had
displeased
,
by
crossing
their
courses
and
vndue
proceedings
,
did
not
cease
to
worke
his
trouble
and
disquiet
.
Amongst
whom
the

of

was
now
become
one
that
laboured
The
Earle
of
Ormond
enformes
against
the
Deputy
.
by
secret
information
,
to
incense
the
Queene
against
him
,
which
procured
from
her
and
in
her
name
sharpe
reprehensions
,
which
did
much
disquiet
him
,
and
prouoked
his
cholerick
and
passionate
nature
to
offend
and
exceede
himselfe
,
for
being
vexed
with
indignities
and
conceiued
iniuries
,
hee
could
not
forbeare
to
speake
,
and
sometimes
to
write
as
tarely
,
as
he
found
himselfe
dealt
withall
.
The
Deputy
writeth
again
to
the
Queene
for
his
remoue
.
And
now
thinking
himselfe
wounded
in
his
reputation
,
he
wrote
to
the
Queene
her selfe
,
shewing
againe
how
hee
was
disabled
to
doe
her
Seruice
,
and
dishonoured
by
her
beliefe
of
his
vniust
Aduersaries
,
their
practises
and
suggestions
:
Hee
prayeth
lycence
to
repaire
vnto
her
Presence
for
aunswering
of
his
Accuser
,
and
that
hee
might
be
remooued
from
that
vnfortunate
Gouernement
.
He
likewise
wrote
vnto
the
Earle
of
Leycester
,
who
(
much
fauoured
him
)
protesting
in
plaine
manner
,
that
rather
then
hee
would
liue
there
to
bee
so
vexed
in
minde
,
crossed
in
his
best
intended
courses
,
and
brought
into
the
Queenes
displeasure
,
hee
wonld
take
on
him
George
the
Chimney
sweepers
place
at
Court
(
those
being
his
words
)
and
therefore
vrgeth
his
helpe
for
his
remoouall
,
or
leaue
to
come
vnto
the
Queene
:
but
that
Earle
then
engaged
in
the
Action
of
the
Lowe-Countries
,
wherein
all
his

could

,

otherwise
haue
afforded
.
Contention
betweene
the
Earle
of
Tyrone
and
diuers
Vlster
Lords
,
preying
one
vpon
another
.
Diuers
dislikes
,
and
some
disturbance
of
the
publique
,
began
betwixt
Tirlogh
Leynaugh
Oneale
,
and
the
Earle
of
Tyrone
,
for
whereas
formerly
there
had
beene
a
deuision
of
the
Lands
in
Vlster
,
challenged
to
belong
to
Oneale
,
deuided
betwixt
them
both
,
and
of
later
time
Tirlogh
Leynaugh
had
beene
drawne
by
composition
to
take
a
thousand
Markes
Rent
by
the
yeare
of
the
Earle
,
to
be
payed
at
foure
Feasts
,
for
certaine
Landes
during
some
yeares
.
Now
Tirlogh
Leynaugh
complaineth
,
that
the
Earle
did
not
onely
refuse
the
payment
of
this
Rent
,
but
had
committed
outrages
on
himselfe
and
his
people
,
hauing
taken
diuers
preyes
out
of
his
Country
,
terrified
his
Tenants
,
and
had
enticed
diuers
of
them
from
him
and
his
Lands
:
whereof
hee
writeth
particularly
by
sundry
Letters
vnto
the
Deputy
,
shewing
his
vnwillingnesse
to
breake
the
Queenes
peace
;
desireth
order
may
be
taken
for
the
returne
of
his
Tenants
'
,
and
their
goods
,
with
satisfaction
for
his
men
slaine
,
and
such
Rent
as
the
Earle
was
endebted
to
him
.
These
complaints
being
by
the
Deputy
sent
to
Tyrone
,
he
maketh
answer
,
that
first
for
Tirloghs
Tenants
,
that
since
Tirlogh
was
not
able
to
restraine
his
people
from
annoying
his
Tenants
,
hee
was
not
to
refuse
any
that
would
come
from
Tirlogh
to
liue
vnder
him
:
denieth
any
killing
or
preying
vpon
Tirlogh
;
his
men
or
Country
by
him
or
his
men
for
the
arreare
of
Rent
due
or
claymed
to
bee
due
,
hee
partly
denyeth
,
and
partly
euades
the
payment
.
In
the
meane
time
while
these
complaints
were
exhibited
,
and
answeres
expected
:
more
outrages
begunne
betweene
them
and
their
followers
,
and
new
violences
were
offered
before
the
olde
could
be
redressed
,
for
Tirlogh
being
growne
olde
,
and
forsaken
by
many
of
his
followers
,
either
for
want
of
protection
from
Tirlogh
,
or
feare
of
the
Earles
encreasing
greatnesse
,
Tyrone
giues
another
blowe
to
Tirlogh
,
by
taking
a
prey
of
2000
Cowes
,
with
many
Mares
and
Garons
,
from
Sir
Arte
Oneale
Tirloghs
sonne
,
whereof
the
Deputy
being
aduertised
,
sent
to
Tyrone
what
was
enformed
;
and
to
require
him
,
both
to
forbeare
further
acts
of
hostility
,
and
to
restore
what
had
been
so
taken
from
Tirloghs
sonne
or
his
Tennants
,
to
which
the
Earle
maketh
answere
by
accusing
Sir
Arte
Oneale
,
to
haue
taken
a
prey
from
his
people
,
at
his
last
being
at
Dublin
,
and
insteed
of
restitution
which
he
demaunded
,
sent
the
Earle
defiance
,
when
he
required
peace
to
be
obserued
.
Sir
Arthur
Oneale
affirmed
on
the
other
side
,
that
the
Earles
brother
Cormagh
tooke
a
prey
first
from
some
of
his
men
,
who
in
recouering
of
their
losse
,
tooke
the
like
from
his
,
for
which
Tyrone
spoyled
him
and
his
followers
,
of
a
farre
greater
value
as
hee
complained
.
The
Deputy
looking
vpon
the
danger
of
these
brawles
,
contentions
,
and
spoyles
,
sendeth
two
Messengers
called
Bynion
and
Bremicham
,
with
Letters
and
streight
commaundements
vnto
Tirlogh
and
his
sonne
,
and
to
the
Earle
of
Tyrone
,
charging
them
vpon
their
loyalties
vnto
their
Soueraigne
,
to
forbeare
all
attempts
of
violence
and
reuenge
one
towards
another
,
and
to
the
Earle
he
signified
,
that
if
it
were
true
that
he
had
receiued
some
iniuries
at
the
hands
of
Sir
Arthur
Oneale
,
yet
it
could
not
be
lawfull
,
that
he
should
be
a
reuenger
of
his
owne
wrongs
,
and
if
he
had
sustained
any
such
domage
as
hee
pretended
,
hee
had
being
his
owne
caruer
,
ouer-recompenced
himselfe
for
the
preiudice
done
vnto
him
.
Therefore
hee
againe
requires
him
to
make
restitution
of
such
goods
as
did
exceede
the
value
of
what
had
beene
so
taken
from
his
followers
,
and
that
he
would
thence-forth
take
warrant
from
the
State
for
his
doings
;
so
should
it
be
safer
for
him
and
his
,
and
for
the
better
ordering
of
this
difference
,
hee
would
shortly
send
Commissioners
which
should
render
vnto
each
one
his
owne
.
This
for
a
time
did
qualifie
their
contentions
.
But
shortly
after
,
Tyrone
(
finding
that
Peace
would
be
no
way
to
that
which
he
aspired
vnto
)
vpon
further
pretence
of
iniurie
done
to
him
by
Tirlogh
,
and
his
followers
,
maketh
an
in-roade
into
his
Country
,
and
entred
with
force
as
farre
as
Strabane
,
Tirloghs
Towne
and
Tyrone
beaten
by
the
English
Companies
at
Strabane
.
place
of
aboade
,
where
Captaine
Mostian
and
Parker
,
with
their
Companies
,
remained
for
Tirloghs
defence
:
they
with
such
power
as
Tirlogh
could
make
,
charged
Tyrone
and
his
troupes
,
and
forced
him
to
flye
.
Odonnell
denies
to
entertaine
a
Sheriffe
.
Odonnell
set
on
by
Tyrone
(
as
Tirlogh
affirmed
)
began
to
quarrell
,
and
offer
violence
to
Tirlogh
,
and
to
manifest
his
Trayterous
disposition
to
the
State
,
denied
to
entertaine
the
Sheriffe
sent
into
Tirconnell
,
lately
made
a
County
,
seconding
it
with
other
signes
of
disloyalty
.
The
Deputy
and
Councell
certifie
their
suspition
of
Tyrone
,
desire
order
out
of
England
.
The
Deputy
and
Councell
,
seeing
what
mischiefe
now
begun
to
growe
by
the
casting
the
Northerne
Garrison
,
giuing
way
to
Tyrones
aspiring
,
certifies
into
England
his
practises
,
as
well
in
stirring
vp
priuate
quarrels
,
the
fore-runners
of
Rebellion
,
as
his
sending
to
Agnes
Mac
Connell
,
a
principall
Chiefe
of
the
Inuading
Ilanders
,
certaine
of
his
men
,
conditioning
with
him
to
receiue
such
ayde
and
supplies
from
him
againe
,
when
hee
should
neede
them
,
or
vpon
occasion
require
them
,
and
his
desire
to
be
Oneale
,
clayming
the
chiefe
men
of
Vlster
to
be
his
Vriaghs
,
and
to
depend
on
him
.
His
late
sending
his
sonne
to
be
fostered
by
Ochane
,
betweene
whom
and
him
there
had
beene
great
enmity
,
which
shewed
a
present
combination
,
to
make
way
for
his
further
greatnesse
.
This
fostering
being
the
greatest
bond
of
amity
amongst
the
Irish
.
Of
this
they
craue
consideration
to
be
had
;
withall
they
desire
that
the
pledges
of
Mounster
now
lying
in
the
Castle
of
Dublin
,
(
for
preuention
of
their
escape
)
might
be
remoued
into
England
,
and
conclude
with
request
,
that
some
Treasure
might
bee
sent
thither
,
for
supply
of
the
Souldiers
wants
.
These
cloudes
and
ouer-castings
of
the
calme
and
Serene
times
,
which
had
continued
some
fewe
yeares
past
,
did
prognosticate
,
that
stormes
would
shortly
follow
,
if
course
were
not
speedily
taken
to
cleare
and
disperse
them
.
Odonnell
practiseth
with
the
Ilanders
.
Now
Odonnell
began
to
be

Intelligence

that
he
had
sent
into
the
Ilands
for
hired
men
,
to
assist
him
in
some
action
he
was
about
to
vndertake
;
which
raised
a
question
in
Councell
,
how
he
should
be
dealt
withall
;
some
of
them
being
of
opinion

to

to

(

the

(
restrained

)
knowing
it
would
aske
long
and
chargeable
worke
,
to

stratagem
he
had
conceiued
whereby
to
bring
him
in
,
or
secure
him
from
doing
harme
,
before
hee
would
put
her
Maiesty
to
so
great
charge
,
or
hazard
her
good
Subiects
,
which
might
breede
anoyance
to
the
Country
,
and
interruption
of
the
present
Peace
;
to
which
,
way
was
giuen
,
and
the
Deputy
accordingly
attempted
it
,
by
sending
one
Skipper
,
a
Merchant
of
Dublin
,
with
a
Shippe
loaden
with
Sacks
,
as
if
he
had
come
out
of
Spain
,
directing
him
to
runne
vp
by
Donagall
,
as
farre
as
hee
could
vnto
Odonnels
Country
,
where
he
should
not
onely
offer
to
sell
at
a
cheape
price
,
but
be
liberall
in
giuing
Wine
to
such
as
should
come
aboard
him
:
And
that
if
Odonnell
or
his
sonne
came
aboard
him
by
that
meanes
,
(
as
he
knew
they
would
)
hee
should
giue
them
so
much
as
might
make
them
forget
themselues
,
and
being
drunke
,
should
clap
them
vnder
hatch
,
and
bring
them
away
to
Dublin
.
This
deuice
was
as
carefully
performed
as
proiected
,
young
Odonnell
being
by
this
meanes
surprized
and
brought
away
:
A
Seruice
at
that
time
very
auaileable
to
the
State
,
for
keeping
that
Country
in
quiet
,
and
restraining
so
stirring
a
person
as
Odonnell
was
,
from
the
pursuite
of
his
euill
affections
,
bent
at
that
time
against
the
Queene
and
her
Seruice
:
Notwithstanding
,
afterwards
in
the
ensuing
trouble
,
it
was
imputed
as
an
iniurie
done
to
Odonnell
;
and
interpreted
as
an
act
that
did
rather
interrupt
,
then
preserue
the
Peace
of
that
Country
;
the
State
thinking
that
the
blame
which
should
be
layd
vpon
Sir
A
simple
deuice
of
the
Councell
of
Ireland
.
Iohn
Perrots
carriage
herein
would
please
Odonnell
,
and
make
him
the
more
apt
to
bee
drawne
to
conformity
and
obedience
;
but
this
shallow
and
colloguing
pollicy
,
did
worke
little
effect
in
him
,
whose
heart
was
wholly
(
by
forraigne
practise
)
alienated
from
his
loyalty
,
and
by
marriage
of
Tyrones
Daughter
,
altogether
deuoted
to
his
faction
and
Seruice
,
being
his
assistant
and
partaker
in
all
his
Rebellion
.
The
Deputy
thus
busied
in
the
publique
,
receiues
a
new
interruption
by
the
meanes
of

which
being
certified

much
troubled
him
(

,
was
the
conforming

)
to
finde
Tirlogh
Alyend

;
but
Tirlogh
had
no
sooner
notice
hereof
,
but
hee
sent
one
Salomon
his
Secretary
into
England
to
disauowe
this
Letter
,
protesting

neuer
caused
any

to

the

,
little
was
done
to
his

,
and
the
lesse
,
because
the
whole

was
filled
with
the
forraigne
preparation
threatned
against

,
and
her

;
which

for

and
for
the
more
easie
enclining
them
to
this
demaund
,
which
seemed
at

harsh
vnto
them
,
he
made
a
solemne
speech
,
wherein
hee
declared
,
that
it
was
done
as
well
for

good
,
as
for

,
for
hee
knew
that
the

would
be
well

with
their
willingnesse
,
to
yeeld
testimony
of
their
loyalty
vnto
her
,
which
could
not
but
make
them
better
accepted
,
&
trusted
in
the
time
to
come
;
protesting
that
if
the
case
concerned
him
as
it
did
them
,
he
should
chuse
rather
at
this
time
to
be
bound
,
then
to
be
left
at
liberty
,
within
the
danger
of
suspition
,
being
a
deepe
corrosiue
to
euery
well
meaning
man
,
as
he
assured
himselfe
they
all
were
,
howsouer
their
former
slips
had
made
them
apt
to
be
doubted
,
aduising
them
to
vse
all
good
meanes
for
the
conseruation
of
Peace
in
each
of
their
Dominions
,
whereby
their
pledges
might
shortly
haue
freedome
,
and
they
themselues
gaine
a
better
estimation
for
euer
.
By
this
perswassion
they
did
with
lesse
grudging
and
contradiction
yeeld
pledges
,
which
were
bestowed
in
the
Castle
of
Dublin
,
so
as
all
the
Heads
of
all
the
Prouinces
in
Ireland
were
tyed
by
this
meanes
to
quietnesse
and
subiection
,
which
at
that
time
was
most
necessary
,
because
the
Deputy
by
diuers
good
intelligences
out
of
Spaine
,
whereof
hee
had
giuen
speedy
and
often
information
into
England
,
knew
the
Spanish
preparations
were
great
,
and
whether
intended
for
England
or
Ireland
,
or
for
both
,
was
not
certaine
,
but
Ireland
threatned
by
the
common
bruite
.
This
done
,
the
Deputy
writes
againe
to
the
Queene
,
humbly
thanking
her
,
that
at
his
suit
,
and
for
the
recouery
of
his
health
,
which
now
began
to
impaire
,
shee
had
beene
pleased
to
promise
his
discharge
from
that
Gouernement
,
and
withall
besought
her
speedily
to
send
his
Successour
,
vsing
the
same
reasons
he
had
formerly
done
,
when
it
was
bruited
he
should
bee
remoued
,
before
it
was
intended
,
the
loose
people
being
indeede
apt
out
of
their
euill
affection
,
to
take
aduantage
of
the
time
,
and
to
attempt
that
,
which
they
durst
not
doe
in
a
confirmed
and
well
countenanced
Gouernement
.
At
length
when
this
good
Deputy
had
gouerned
foure
yeares
with
much
trauaile
,
and
good
successe
;
notwithstanding
,
the
opposition
mentioned
in
this
discourse
,
of
priuate
and
particular
Aduersaries
(
the
enuiers
of
his
felicity
)
hee
obtained
his
discharge
.
And
Sir
Sir
William
Fitz-Williams
sent
into
Ireland
.
William
Fitz-Williams
was
sent
to
succeede
him
,
who
had
formerly
gouerned
that
Kingdome
,
with
liking
and
commendation
,
which
though
it
bred
some
hope
in
the
people
,
that
hee
would
build
well
vpon
his
Predecessours
platforme
,
yet
it
could
not
keepe
the
peoples
eyes
from
teares
for
the
losse
of
Sir
Iohn
Perrott
,
such
impression
had
his
vpright
and
cleane
handed
Gouernement
(
vnusuall
to
that
vnhappy
Kingdome
)
taken
in
their
hearts
,
as
appeared
at

departure
.

,
with
these
words
vppon

In

,
meaning
that
hee
left
the
Citie
and
Kingdome
in
peace
.
At
the
deliuery
of
the
Sword
in
Christs-Church
,
hee
tolde
the
new
Deputy
Sir
William
Fitz
Williams
in
the
publique
hearing
of
many
,
of
whom
some
are
yet
liuing
.
Now
my
Lord
,
since
that
by
her
Maiesties
direction
,
I
haue
giuen
vp
the
Gouernement
of
this
Kingdome
into
your
hands
,
I
must
giue
your
Lordship
to
vnderstand
(
and
I
thanke
God
I
may
say
so
)
that
I
leaue
it
in
perfect
peace
and
tranquility
,
which
I
hope
your
Lordship
will
certifie
vnto
her
Maiestie
,
and
the
Lords
of
her
Councell
:
to
whom
the
Deputy
made
answere
,
that
he
confessed
it
to
be
so
,
and
wished
he
might
leaue
it
no
worse
.
Then
my
Lord
,
replyed
Sir
Iohn
Perrot
,
I
must
adde
thus
much
:
That
if
there
bee
any
man
in
this
Kingdome
suspected
to
be
euill
minded
to
the
State
,
who
is
able
to
drawe
but
sixe
Sword-men
after
him
into
the
field
(
if
he
haue
not
already
put
in
pledges
for
his
fidelity
)
so
your
Lordship
shall
thinke
it
necessary
;
I
will
vndertake
(
though
now
but
a
priuate
man
)
to
send
for
him
,
and
if
hee
come
not
within
twentie
dayes
,
I
will
forfait
the
credit
and
reputation
of
my
Gouernement
:
whereto
the
Deputy
answered
,
that
all
was
well
,
it
needed
not
.

loue

Irish
State

Sir
Iohn
Perrot

At
Sir
Iohn
Perrotts
departure
from
Dublin
,
after
hee
had
left
the
Sword
,
many
of
the
Nobility
,
Gentry
,
and
Commons
of
that
Kingdome
,
came
thither
to
see
▪
and
take
their
leaue
of
him
,
so
that
as
hee
went
from
his
Lodging
to
the
Key
to
take
Boate.
The
presse
of
People
comming
to
salute
him
,
(
some
with
cries
of
applause
,
and
some
with
teares
bemoaning
his
departure
)
was
so
great
,
that
he
was
well-neere
two
houres
before
hee
could
passe
the
Streete
,
and
was
enforced
twice
or
thrice
to
take
house
for
his
ease
,
to
auoyde
the
throng
,
amongst
whom
Tirlogh
Leynaugh
was
one
,
who
comming
along
with
him
to
his
Boate
,
and
standing
at
the
Key
vntill
hee
sawe
his
Ship
vnder
sayle
,
did
then
weepe
,
and
grieuously
bewayle
his
departure
.
Such
power
hath
the
opinion
of
Iustice
and
sincere
gouernement
,
to
make
euen
them
that
are
barbarous
,
to
loue
the
Ministers
thereof
,
though
themselues
know
not
the
things
,
but
by
the
effects
.
At
Sir
Iohn
Perrots
going
to
Sea
,
the
Citizens
of
Dublin
in
testimony
of
their
loue
,
sent
with
him
some
of
their
young
men
with
Shot
to
guard
him
into
Pembroke
Shire
,
who
passed
with
him
to
his
Castle
called
Carewe
,
whence
hee
was
not
long
after
called
to
the
Court
to
be
made
a
Priuie
Councellour
,
the
step
to
his
fall
and

,
subdued
Vlster
,
brake
the
bonds
of

Hee
extirped
the
Inuading
Scots
,
bridled
the
bolde
Extortions
of
the
English
,
and
to
all
these
,
added
much
to
the
Queenes
reuenew
:
for
besides
the
compositions
in
Vlster
and
Connaught
mentioned
in
this
discourse
,
hee
drew
new
encrease
,
and
reseruations
of
Rents
,
Tenures
,
and
Seruices
from
many
Lords
of
Territories
,
and
Seruices
from

seuerall
Prouinces
.
The
particulars
are
yet
extant
to
be
seene
,
though
tedious
here
to
be
set
downe
:
which
hee
did
vpon
Surrenders
,
&
renewing
of
their
Estates
,
which
bred
a
double
benefit
vnto
the
Crown
,
the
better
assurance
of
their
Loyalties
,
and
the
aduancement
of
reuenew
.
These
Seruices
so
well
begun
(
if
they
had
beene
perfected
)
had
made
that
Kingdome
more
peaceable
,
rich
,
ciuill
,

subiect
to

Gouernement
:
but
want
of

which
makes

:
And
Enuie

left

successefull
,
yet
without
the
full

But
