For
the
Plantation
of
VLSTER
.
EXcellent
and
High
Renowned
Prince
,
since
such
time
as
it
hath
pleased
the
Lord
Treasurer
to
referre
the
Peticion
of
M.
Henry
Honnings
,
vnto
the
Irish
Commissioners
,
for
the
vndertaking
of
threescore
thousand
Acres
of
the
Escheated
Lands
in
the
North
of
Ireland
,
to
bee
planted
by
certaine
English
Gentlemen
,
of
which
my selfe
being
one
,
considering
the
greatnes
of
the
Action
,
to
satisfie
my selfe
I
passed
the
Seas
,
and
not
farre
from
the
Lyfford
I
found
that
very
worthy
Gentleman
,
Sir
Arthur
Chichester
,
the
Kings
Lord
Deputie
with
other
Commissioners
,
surueying
those
escheated
Lands
from
the
Church
Lands
,
and
from
their
Lands
who
haue
hitherto
bene
loyall
.
I
being
there
conuersant
with
some
of
the
chiefe
Knights
and
Captaines
,
desired
of
them
to
know
the
cause
why
they
themselues
were
not
forward
to
vndertake
those
profitable
seates
and
rich
grounds
:
I
was
answered
,
that
to
build
Castles
and
Fortes
was
chargeable
,
neither
then
if
there
should
be
a
Mannor
erected
with
twentye
or
fortye
Tennants
,
would
they
and
it
secure
their
goods
:
for
although
that
Castle
or
Forte
would
serue
for
a
sufficient
refuge
to
preserue
their
liues
vpon
any
extremitie
,
yet
the
cruell
wood-kerne
,
the
deuowring
Woolfe
,
and
other
suspitious
Irish
,
would
so
attend
on
their
busines
,
as
their
being
there
should
be
little
profitable
vnto
them
.
For
an
example
:
Sir
Tobye
Cawlfield
he
dwelleth
in
Charlemount
a
Forte
of
many
other
the
best
,
and
well
furnished
with
men
and
munition
:
yet
now
(
euen
in
this
faire
calme
of
quiet
)
his
people
are
driuen
euery
night
to
lay
vp
all
his
Cattle
as
it
were
in
warde
,
and
doe
hee
and
his
what
they
can
,
the
Woolfe
and
the
Wood-kerne
(
within
Calieuer
shot
of
his
Forte
)
haue
often
times
a
share
:
yet
I
do
verily
beleeue
,
no
man
keepeth
better
order
,
aswell
for
the
safeguard
of
himselfe
and
his
neighbors
,
as
for
the
gouernment
of
al
those
parts
about
him
.
The
like
I
haue
obserued
in
many
other
places
▪
and
to
speake
the
truth
,
all
men
there
in
all
places
doe
the
like
,
and
that
within
the
English
Pale
(
as
they
a
long
time
haue
cald
it
)
Sir
Iohn
King
he
dwelleth
within
halfe
a
mile
of
Dublin
:
Sir
Henry
Harrington
within
halfe
a
mile
on
the
other
side
thereof
,
Fewe
men
that
euer
I
haue
seene
better
seated
for
much
good
Soyle
:
they
also
doe
the
like
,
for
those
sore
named
enemies
,
doe
euery
night
suruey
the
Fields
to
the
very
wals
of
Dublin
,
whatsoeuer
is
left
abroad
is
in
danger
to
be
lost
:
so
they
cannot
for
the
foresaid
causes
contriue
any
thing
to
much
profit
,
although
it
hath
bene
inhabited
a
long
time
.
The
consideration
whereof
satisfied
me
with
the
impossibilitie
of
planting
a
Mannor
vnder
the
protection
of
any
strong
built
Castle
;
but
after
that
I
had
trauailed
amongst
the
meere
Irish
,
and
had
sufficiently
informed
my selfe
with
their
conditions
,
their
nature
,
and
manner
of
life
,
I
found
it
most
certainely
impossible
by
such
kinde
of
plantation
to
improue
any
thing
with
security
,
to
any
great
profit
,
neither
any
with
whome
I
conferred
,
would
or
could
set
downe
how
with
security
any
thing
might
be
vndertaken
.
Therefore
the
principall
studd
of
this
frame
must
be
wrought
with
a
tennor
more
substantiall
then
hath
bene
hitherto
by
any
one
mencioned
.
I
acknowledge
and
see
it
sufficiently
,
that
many
Castles
and
fortes
well
fortified
,
doth
and
wil
restraine
the
violence
of
such
a
scattered
people
as
they
are
,
being
at
this
present
altogether
without
men
of
conduct
or
armour
,
but
I
thinke
those
Castles
&
Fortes
more
necessary
in
time
of
warre
;
for
then
thereby
the
Cattell
of
the
Rebels
are
cut
off
,
and
they
are
inforced
to
vnite
themselues
into
many
strong
troopes
,
otherwise
the
garisons
of
those
places
would
bereaue
them
of
all
their
victuals
,
and
hinder
their
commerce
,
and
all
their
other
intentions
whatsoeuer
,
for
they
cannot
be
strong
ynough
at
one
instant
in
euery
place
to
encounter
the
force
of
those
millitary
garrisons
,
who
are
maintained
at
a
great
rate
(
as
I
thinke
)
out
of
the
Exchequer
:
for
these
vndertakers
to
plant
themselues
so
in
this
time
of
quiet
,
I
doe
verily
beleeue
it
would
be
to
small
auaile
,
and
not
the
best
way
to
secure
themselues
with
their
goods
,
and
that
wilde
country
to
the
Crowne
of
England
;
for
although
there
be
no
apparant
enemy
,
nor
any
visible
maine
force
,
yet
the
wood-kerne
and
many
other
(
who
now
haue
put
on
the
smiling
countenaunce
of
contentment
)
doe
threaten
euery
houre
,
if
oportunitie
of
time
and
place
doth
serue
,
to
burne
and
steale
whatsoeuer
:
and
besides
them
there
be
two
,
the
chief
supporters
of
al
their
insolencie
,
the
inaccessable
woods
,
&
the
not
passible
bogs
:
which
ot
subiect
to
our
desires
is
not
easie
,
and
that
not
performed
,
it
is
not
possible
to
make
a
profitable
,
improuement
,
no
not
by
any
meanes
in
any
place
.
Moreouer
the
frowning
countenance
of
chance
and
change
,
(
for
nothing
so
certaine
as
that
all
thinges
are
most
vncertaine
)
doth
also
incite
a
prouident
vndertaker
to
lay
such
a
foundation
,
as
it
should
be
rather
a
violent
storme
then
a
fret
of
foule
weather
that
should
anoy
him
.
A
scattered
plantation
will
neuer
effect
his
desire
:
what
can
the
countenance
of
a
Castle
or
Bawne
with
a
fewe
followers
doe
?
euen
as
they
at
this
present
doe
:
which
is
nothing
to
any
purpose
.
What
shall
we
then
say
?
or
to
what
course
shal
we
betake
our selues
?
surely
by
building
of
a
wel
fortified
Towne
,
to
be
able
at
any
time
at
an
houres
warning
with
fiue
hundred
men
well
armed
,
to
encounter
all
occasions
:
neither
will
that
be
sufficient
,
except
that
be
seconded
with
such
another
,
and
that
also
(
if
it
may
be
,
as
easily
it
may
)
with
a
third
:
so
there
will
be
helpe
on
euery
side
,
to
defend
,
&
offend
:
for
as
in
England
,
if
a
priuy
watch
be
set
,
many
malefactors
are
apprehended
,
euen
amongst
their
cuppes
:
so
there
when
the
spaces
in
the
Woods
be
cut
out
,
and
the
bogges
be
made
somewhat
passible
,
then
these
new
erected
townes
intending
a
reformation
,
must
often
times
at
the
first
set
a
vniuersall
great
hunt
,
that
a
suddaine
search
may
be
made
in
all
suspitious
places
,
for
the
Woolfe
and
the
Wood-kerne
,
which
being
secretly
and
wisely
appointed
by
the
gouernors
,
they
with
the
helpe
of
some
Irish
,
well
acquainted
with
the
holes
and
holdes
of
those
offenders
,
the
generallitie
shall
search
euery
particular
place
.
For
an
example
,
the
fourth
day
of
March
,
the
Lyfford
,
the
Omigh
,
they
in
Farmanagh
,
Donganon
,
and
Colrayne
,
shall
on
that
day
send
forth
from
euery
one
of
those
places
,
an
hundred
men
;
which
fiue
hundred
men
shall
as
then
make
search
in
all
,
or
in
all
the
most
suspitious
places
:
and
by
being
at
one
instant
dispersed
with
furniture
fit
for
such
busines
,
they
shall
discouer
all
the
Caues
,
holes
,
&
lurking
places
of
that
country
,
euen
for
an
hundred
miles
compasse
:
&
no
doubt
it
will
be
a
pleasant
hunt
,
and
much
preye
Hunt
.
will
fall
to
the
followers
:
for
what
dooth
escape
some
,
will
fall
to
the
hands
of
others
,
and
bring
such
a
terror
,
that
the
woolfe
himselfe
will
not
dare
to
continue
his
haunt
,
where
such
so
suddaine
incursions
shall
be
vsed
,
although
it
be
but
once
in
a
moneth
:
the
charge
none
,
the
pleasure
much
,
the
profit
more
:
then
may
they
make
inclosures
,
&
venture
their
Cattell
abroad
,
for
to
starue
in
the
night
doth
ouerthrow
the
feede
of
the
day
,
with
the
generall
improuement
and
chief
profit
,
for
the
feeding
of
al
kind
of
Cattle
:
then
may
they
sowe
,
mowe
,
plant
,
thriue
&
be
merry
,
for
this
kind
of
planting
wil
not
onely
supplant
those
domesticall
enemies
,
but
there
will
be
out
of
those
townes
fiue
thousand
well
armed
men
,
to
encounter
any
forraine
enemy
,
that
shall
offer
arriuall
to
inuade
,
whereby
his
Maiestie
shall
shortly
haue
little
neede
of
those
so
chargeable
garrisons
:
For
these
vndertakers
will
easily
restraine
the
mutinies
of
them
at
home
,
and
confront
the
power
of
any
inuader
whatsoeuer
,
and
those
good
fellowes
in
trowzes
,
I
meane
the
euery
where
dispersed
creatures
in
the
creats
,
seeing
this
course
,
they
will
no
longer
hearken
after
change
,
nor
entertaine
the
lurking
wood-kerne
,
as
now
they
doe
.
Throughout
all
Ireland
where
there
be
Fortes
and
garrisons
in
paye
,
if
all
those
places
were
planted
with
this
kinde
of
vndertaking
,
&
the
old
worthy
Soldiers
,
who
in
those
places
haue
garrisons
in
pay
,
with
euery
one
of
their
Soldiers
,
if
they
were
rewarded
with
the
fee
simple
thereof
,
to
them
&
to
their
heires
,
paying
after
one
life
yearely
vnto
his
Maiestie
a
fee-farme
,
as
the
other
vndertakers
doe
:
but
these
Captaines
and
Soldiers
would
haue
their
pay
continued
,
otherwise
they
shall
not
be
able
to
proceede
with
the
charge
of
planting
,
and
then
other
lands
there
next
adioyning
laide
also
to
such
places
,
that
many
might
ioyne
with
them
to
erect
corporations
:
which
may
be
performed
now
ten
times
better
cheape
then
it
wil
be
heerafter
:
their
security
would
be
much
better
,
and
the
societye
farre
excell
,
&
so
the
charge
of
the
garrisons
might
be
withdrawne
,
the
olde
worthy
warriour
who
hath
gone
already
through
with
the
brunt
of
that
busines
,
shall
with
a
good
satisfaction
be
rewarded
,
and
all
Vlster
a
whole
hundred
times
better
secured
vnto
the
Crowne
of
England
:
for
the
generation
of
the
Irish
,
(
who
doe
at
this
time
encrease
ten
to
one
more
then
the
English
,
nay
I
might
well
say
twenty
)
will
neuer
otherwise
be
sufficently
brideled
:
of
all
which
I
would
satisfie
your
highnes
by
an
example
.
The
Lyfford
,
whereas
there
be
an
hundred
Soldiers
in
pay
,
(
as
is
reported
)
which
cannot
come
vnto
lesse
then
a
thousand
pounds
yearely
,
and
if
there
were
in
that
kingdome
many
such
,
it
would
amount
vnto
a
great
somme
by
the
yeare
,
and
many
of
them
peraduenture
like
this
,
able
indeed
a
smal
time
to
withstand
the
first
or
second
assault
of
a
weake
enemie
.
But
if
the
Lyfford
and
the
Lands
adioyning
neere
thereunto
,
were
vndertaken
by
many
,
their
many
helping
hands
(
euery
man
respecting
his
owne
profit
)
they
would
not
regard
charge
,
not
be
weary
with
labor
and
paines
to
frame
a
perpetuall
security
,
and
good
successe
to
their
businesse
:
and
so
there
might
out
of
dout
by
that
goodly
riuer
side
,
be
laid
out
so
much
land
,
(
besides
the
Gouernours
and
Soldiers
allowance
)
as
the
vndertakers
would
cleere
all
that
pay
,
and
the
like
in
many
such
other
places
:
and
giue
vnto
the
Crowne
a
hundred
pounds
yerely
for
a
fee-farme
for
euer
,
which
would
rise
in
that
kingdome
,
to
every
great
masse
,
and
the
great
charge
of
the
garrisons
withdrawne
.
I
might
say
the
like
of
the
Omigh
,
of
Dongannon
,
and
of
many
such
other
places
,
and
so
there
would
be
in
stead
of
popery
true
religion
;
&
a
comfortable
society
,
whereas
at
this
present
,
there
is
small
apparance
and
much
defect
of
them
,
and
of
all
other
the
chiefest
things
to
make
the
life
of
man
happy
,
onely
plenty
of
good
victuall
excepted
.
How
exceedingly
wel
standeth
Ardmath
,
better
seate
for
rich
soyle
there
cannot
bee
,
but
so
poore
,
as
I
doe
verily
thinke
all
the
houshold
stuffe
in
that
Citty
is
not
worth
twenty
pounds
,
yet
it
is
the
Primate
of
all
Ireland
,
&
as
they
say
for
antiquitie
,
one
of
the
most
antient
in
all
Europe
:
it
is
also
of
so
small
power
as
forty
resolute
men
,
may
rob
,
rifle
,
and
burne
it
:
were
it
a
defenced
corporation
it
would
soone
be
rich
and
religious
,
and
the
security
would
make
one
acre
more
worth
then
now
twenty
be
.
At
this
present
it
is
a
most
base
and
abiect
thing
,
not
much
better
then
Strebane
,
&
not
able
to
restraine
,
no
,
not
the
violence
of
the
Woolte
.
Moreouer
many
be
the
commodities
of
this
kinde
of
vndertaking
a
scattered
plantation
,
for
many
vndertakers
to
be
dispersed
three
score
miles
in
compasse
,
alas
they
shal
be
now
at
the
first
like
the
vnboundsticks
of
a
brush
fagot
,
easie
to
be
gathered
,
hewen
and
had
to
the
fire
,
neither
shall
there
be
true
Religion
,
sweete
society
,
nor
any
comfortable
security
amongst
them
,
no
,
nor
any
other
the
principall
respectes
and
commodities
that
mans
life
desireth
,
as
they
who
there
now
doe
liue
do
know
very
well
:
but
in
one
and
the
selfe-same
estate
for
many
to
be
bound
vp
together
in
the
band
of
one
hope
,
so
as
all
must
be
but
one
,
It
must
be
the
power
of
some
great
Monarch
,
who
receiuing
more
blowes
then
benefites
,
shall
buy
the
vnbinding
of
this
fagot
,
at
a
much
greater
rate
then
will
be
for
his
gaine
or
reputation
.
But
some
peraduenture
will
say
here
is
much
speech
of
corporations
,
but
nothing
how
the
Lands
which
lyeth
farre
remote
,
which
these
vndertakers
must
take
vp
,
shall
be
vsed
,
for
it
will
be
very
inconuenient
that
vnto
this
corporation
all
the
commodities
of
that
great
quantity
of
ground
shal
be
presently
transported
,
both
for
the
distance
of
the
place
,
and
other
discommodities
:
and
it
is
expected
that
there
should
be
Manors
erected
,
&
not
that
one
corporation
should
containe
so
great
a
circuit
.
My
answere
is
,
that
the
corporation
shall
containe
all
that
quantity
of
ground
,
for
when
they
therein
haue
framed
the
country
to
their
desires
,
then
there
shall
be
by
these
vndertakers
many
Manors
erected
,
and
after
the
first
or
second
yeare
,
most
of
the
houses
within
this
corporation
built
by
these
vndertakers
,
(
for
euery
man
according
to
the
quantity
of
his
land
must
put
to
his
aide
)
although
these
houses
shall
be
still
their
owne
,
yet
then
,
when
the
great
Huntes
before
mentioned
,
haue
reduced
the
country
to
such
passe
,
as
in
the
seueralties
of
euery
man
,
their
Cattell
may
be
in
security
,
then
most
of
those
buildings
in
the
corporation
shall
be
left
,
and
euery
man
of
the
vndertakers
shall
build
on
his
demeanes
a
strong
Mannor
house
,
and
certaine
Tenements
for
his
Tenants
about
him
,
on
such
Lands
as
he
shall
allot
them
by
coppy
of
Court
role
,
or
otherwise
,
to
them
and
their
heires
for
euer
:
and
within
the
corporation
,
euery
one
of
the
vndertakers
shall
stil
retaine
his
mansion
house
,
there
to
dwel
at
his
pleasure
,
and
all
the
other
of
his
houses
there
,
shall
be
set
ouer
vnto
tradesmen
;
as
Shoomakers
,
Smithes
,
Carpenters
,
Weauers
,
and
such
like
:
so
in
Sommer
he
may
remain
with
his
tennants
in
the
country
,
and
in
winter
with
his
farmers
the
tradesmen
in
the
corporation
,
which
I
hope
to
see
a
faire
well
gouerned
and
a
very
strong
Citty
,
which
will
serue
at
all
times
to
defend
them
and
all
their
moueables
,
if
inuasion
or
any
other
violent
storme
should
come
:
so
all
the
land
farre
remote
shall
be
built
and
inhabited
with
good
security
.
On
this
word
Myne
is
a
strong
warrior
,
euery
man
for
his
owne
will
aduenture
farre
,
the
Mercinary
Rutter
will
often
times
haue
his
charge
empty
with
men
,
when
his
purse
shall
be
full
with
dead
payes
.
This
my
valiant
and
prouident
warriour
Myne
,
he
will
rather
increase
then
decrease
his
nomber
,
he
doth
watch
and
ward
night
&
day
without
ceasing
.
Therefore
in
this
our
vndertaking
,
let
all
the
people
be
such
as
shall
enioy
euery
man
more
or
lesse
of
his
owne
,
and
if
they
were
such
as
had
no
other
estate
then
there
,
it
were
the
better
.
But
I
feare
,
if
many
shall
peruse
this
recital
,
most
of
them
wil
be
vtterly
deterred
with
the
charge
,
saying
,
it
is
easie
to
be
spoken
,
but
to
their
capacitie
very
difficult
to
be
performed
,
and
so
they
will
withdrawe
themselues
&
their
conceits
from
imbracing
that
which
I
would
haue
them
entertaine
cherefully
in
the
best
fashion
.
Therefore
I
doe
incite
them
to
consider
,
that
all
those
great
and
sumptuous
buildings
which
former
ages
haue
left
vnto
euerlasting
posterity
,
were
not
erected
any
where
,
where
continuance
of
peace
had
improued
all
thinges
to
a
high
rate
and
great
price
,
but
the
originall
of
all
nations
,
was
where
and
when
the
Lands
and
all
the
commodities
of
those
places
were
of
small
worth
.
To
enter
into
the
perticular
heereof
would
be
rather
tedious
then
necessary
.
There
be
twelue
of
vs
vnder
the
assignation
of
the
right
honorable
,
Gilbert
Earle
of
Shrewesbury
,
who
intend
by
the
help
of
almighty
God
to
imploye
a
good
part
of
our
substance
,
and
bestowe
our
best
indeuours
therein
:
for
discoursing
will
not
doe
it
,
it
must
be
a
paineful
hand
,
&
a
discreet
minde
furnished
with
knowledge
and
much
experience
:
we
cannot
enioy
the
happy
Elizian
fields
,
but
by
passing
ouer
the
blacke
riuer
Stix
:
for
heauen
wil
not
be
had
without
some
tribulation
,
neither
may
we
feede
vpon
the
delicates
prepared
in
a
rich
and
plesant
banquetting
Gallery
,
except
we
doe
straine
our
feete
to
passe
vpon
the
first
&
second
staire
:
so
difficult
is
the
thing
that
we
intend
,
Demidium
toti
,
qui
bene
caepit
,
habet
.
If
any
thing
seeme
difficult
,
rouse
vp
thy
spirit
,
and
put
to
both
thy
hands
.
Great
thinges
without
much
labor
can
not
be
obtained
:
Rome
was
not
built
in
one
day
,
but
this
in
fiue
yeares
may
be
performed
without
admiration
,
especially
if
all
these
planters
do
draw
closely
together
without
dissention
,
or
muteny
:
therfore
there
must
especiall
regard
be
had
,
that
in
this
corporation
the
chiefe
Gouernor
be
of
wisdome
,
wealth
,
and
authoritie
,
such
a
one
as
wil
be
obeyed
,
yet
will
conferre
with
other
,
and
not
be
too
much
addicted
to
his
owne
conceits
:
without
gouernment
there
is
nothing
but
confusion
:
so
many
heads
so
many
opinions
.
Let
all
the
vndertakers
haue
recourse
vnto
the
consultations
,
the
meanest
may
sometimes
bring
foorth
a
necessary
knowledge
,
therefore
let
euery
mans
opinion
be
heard
,
but
let
the
Gouernor
with
his
assistants
determine
,
and
let
all
the
rest
consent
thereto
,
or
endure
condigne
punishment
.
And
as
for
thee
that
puttest
diffidence
in
the
assurance
,
which
thou
shalt
haue
from
his
Maiestie
,
thou
needest
not
trouble
thy
head
therwith
,
there
hath
bene
already
two
suruaies
to
know
the
parcels
and
precincts
exactly
:
no
doubt
vpon
the
deuision
there
will
be
proclamation
,
that
whosoeuer
can
iustly
and
apparantly
claime
any
part
of
those
Lands
to
these
vndertakers
by
Pattent
assigned
,
he
shall
then
within
some
conuenient
time
put
in
his
claime
or
else
be
silent
for
euer
.
So
before
thou
doost
charge
thy selfe
any
way
,
thy
portion
shall
be
cleere
,
or
else
thou
shalt
haue
some
other
that
shall
be
voide
of
all
incombrance
.
Furthermore
,
to
comfort
thy
fearefull
spirit
,
there
thou
shalt
haue
many
good
neighbors
,
for
all
they
thy
countrymen
that
are
already
there
estated
with
part
of
those
Lands
,
of
which
there
be
many
of
the
chiefe
in
that
kingdome
,
they
are
hearty
well
willers
vnto
al
vndertakers
,
both
for
that
your
good
proceedings
will
second
,
and
as
it
were
fortifie
their
already
beginnings
:
and
they
be
indeede
Gentlemen
of
such
sort
and
quality
,
as
they
speake
alwaies
what
they
thinke
,
and
performe
what
they
speake
.
They
doe
not
after
the
fashion
of
this
age
carry
bread
in
the
one
hand
and
a
stone
in
the
other
;
but
they
haue
a
sword
alwaies
ready
to
mainetaine
truth
and
equity
;
besides
a
very
excellent
course
of
proceeding
by
law
:
And
to
knit
thy
affection
more
firmely
to
the
hope
of
thy
well
doing
there
,
I
doe
insure
thee
,
there
be
excellent
warriors
,
and
they
such
worthy
men
as
wil
willingly
backe
thy
busines
,
&
in
time
of
need
violently
abate
the
violence
of
any
that
shal
intend
thy
trouble
:
so
Mars
himselfe
shall
protect
thee
,
&
perhaps
Mercury
too
:
&
if
thou
beest
honestly
content
with
that
which
is
thine
,
thou
mayest
there
liue
and
neuer
trouble
the
Lawyer
,
and
thou
shalt
finde
it
to
be
a
great
blessing
.
All
which
I
haue
written
to
encourage
thy
fainting
spirit
,
which
rather
then
faile
wil
obiect
the
charges
thither
,
and
the
danger
,
which
is
nothing
so
much
as
amongst
good
fellowes
it
is
,
to
be
beastly
drunke
at
home
.
To
conclude
,
what
art
thou
?
one
whome
kindenes
,
casualty
,
or
want
of
wit
hath
decayed
?
make
speede
,
get

Vlster
,
serue
God
,
be
sober
,
if
thou
canst
not
gouerne
,
be
gouerned
,
thou
shalt
recouer
thy selfe
,
and
thy
happines
there
will
make
thee
reioyce
at
thy
former
fortunes
.
Art
thou
rich
,
possessed
with
much
reuenue
?
make
speed
without
racking
of
rents
,
or
other
offenciue
meanes
;
thou
shalt
doe
God
and
thy
Prince
excellent
seruice
.
Thou
hast
the
three
brayded
bande
which
will
binde
Beares
,
vse
there
thy
talent
,
it
will
be
quickely
a
million
.
Art
thou
a
poore
indigent
fellow
?
and
hast
neither
faculty
nor
mony
?
goe
not
thither
,
for
though
there
be
plenty
of
all
thinges
,
thou
shalt
starue
there
,
Loyterers
and
lewd
persons
in
this
our
new
worlde
,
they
will
not
be
indured
.
Art
thou
a
Tradesman
?
a
Smith
,
a
Weauer
,
a
Mason
,
or
a
Carpenter
?
goe
thither
,
thou
shalt
be
in
estimation
,
and
quickely
inriched
by
thy
indeauours
.
Art

man
,
whose
worth
is
not
past
tenne
or
twenty
pounds
?
goe
thither
,
those
new
Manor-makers
will
make
thee
a
Coppy
holder
:
thou
shalt
whistle
sweetely
,
and
feede
thy
whole
family
if
they
be
six
for
six
pence
the
day
.
Art
thou
a
Gentleman
that
takest
pleasure
in
hunt
?
the
Fox
,
the
Woolfe
,
and
the
Wood-kerne
doe
expect
thy
comming
:
and
the
comely
well
cabbazed
Stagge
will
furnish
thy
feast
with
a
full
dish
.
There
thou
shalt
haue
elbowe
roome
,
the
Eagle
and
the
Earne
and
all
sorts
of
high
flying
fowles
do
attend
thee
.
Art
thou
a
Minister
of
Gods
word
?
make
speed
,
the
haruest
is
great
but
the
laborers
be
fewe
:
thou
shalt
there
see
the
poore
ignorant
vntaught
people
worship
stones
and
sticks
:
thou
by
carrying
millions
to
heauen
,
maiest
be
made
an
Archangell
,
and
haue
whiles
thou
doost
liue

So
Vlster
which
hath
bene
hitherto
the
receptacle
and
very

of
Rebels
and
deuowring

,
shall
farre
excell
Munster

and
the
ciuellest
part
of
all
that
country
,
and
peraduenture
in
ciuility
and
sincere
Religion
,
equal
euen
faire
England
herselfe
,
with
a
christian

&
so

In
all
Ireland
three
hundred
thousand

Children

the
true
knowledge
of

,
and
by
faith

Iesus

So

be
disburthened
of

The
Conclusion
,
contayning
an
exhortation
to
England
.
FAyre
England
,
thy
flourishing
Sister
,
braue
Hibernia
,
(
with
most
respectiue
termes
)
commendeth
vnto
thy
due
consideration
her
yongest
daughter
,
depopulated
Vlster
:
not
doubting
(
for
it
cannot
but
come
vnto
thy
vnderstanding
)
how
the
long
continuance
of
lamentable
warres
,
haue
raced
&
vtterly
defaced
,
whatsoeuer
was
beautifull
in
her
to
behold
,
and
hath
so
bereaued
all
her
royalties
,
goodly
ornaments
,
&
well
beseeming
tyers
,
as
there
remaineth
but
onely
the
Maiesty
of
her
naked
personage
,
which
euen
in
that
plite
is
such
,
as
whosoeuer
shall
seeke
and
search
all
Europes
best
Bowers
,
shal
not
finde
many
that
may
make
with
her
comparison
.
Behold
the
admirable
worth
of
her
worthines
!
euen
now
shee
giues
the
world
to
vnderstand
by
testimoniall
knowne
sufficiently
to
all
that
knowe
her
,
that
if
thou
wilt
now
but
assist
her
with
meanes
to
erect
her
ruynes
,
she
will
nourish
thee
with
much
dainty
prouision
,
and
so
furnish
thee
,
as
thou
shalt
not
neede
to
send
to
thy
neighbour-kingdomes
for
corne
,
nor
to
the
Netherlands
for
fine
Holland
:
shee
will
in
requitall
of
thy
kindenesse
prouide
those
thinges
,
with
some
other
,
such
as
thy
heart
most
desireth
.
Art
thou
ouerchargde
with
much
people
?
Vlster
her
excellency
will
imbrace
that
thy
ouerplus
in
her
amourous
sweete
armes
:
she
will
place
them
as
it
were
by
Euphrates
,
and
feed
them
with
better
Ambrosia
then
euer
Iupiter
himselfe
knew
.
Then
proclaime
,
&
let
all
the
inhabitants
of
spatious
Brittane
know
,
that
(
in
respect
euen
of
their
own
good
)
it
is
conuenient
and
most
necessary
that
euery
one
of
them
should
in
some
proportion
put
to
his
assistance
:
didst
thou
,
and
were
thy
people
indeede
willing
?
with
Horse
,
with
men
,
with
munition
,
and
money
,
oftentimes
,
and
euer
anon
to
abate
their
insolency
,
whose
pride
sought
to
bereaue
from
thee
and
them
,
your
right
and
interrest
in
her
fields
and
forrests
?
true
it
is
,
and
some
thousands
,
no
doubt
thou
didst
imploy
to
keepe
her
from
the
captiuity
of
traytors
:
do
then
,
and
let
thy
people
willingly
finish
the
worke
which
you
so
valiantly
haue
(
although
not
performed
)
yet
brought
to
such
passe
as
now
there
remayneth
nothing
but
how
to
couer
her
nakednes
,
&
to
furnish
her
coastes
with
corporations
and
other
such
meanes
,
as
heereafter
there
shall
be
no
doubt
of
change
or
chance
,
but
that
she
may
repose
her selfe
in
such
sweete
security
,
as
her
beautifull
bosome
shall
by
peace
&
plenty
abound
with
so
many
dainty
goodly
thinges
,
as
it
will
be
a
wonder
to
behold
.
Some
of
thy
most
louing
and
welbeloued
children
,
to
their
great
glory
and
euerlasting
renowne
,
with
feruent
mindes
,
they
haue
taken
this
taske
in
hand
,
thinking
it
no
small
honor
for
them
to
aduenture
their
liues
,
their
liuings
,
and
all
their
indeauours
therein
.
The
County
of
Farmannagh
,
sometime
Mack
Gueres
country
,
reioyce
:
many
vndertakers
,
al
incorporated
in
minde
as
one
,
they
there
with
their
followers
,
seeke
&
are
desirous
to
settle
themselues
.
Woe
to
the
Wolfe
and
the
Wood-kerne
;
the
Ilands
in
Loughearne
shall
haue
habitations
,
a
fortified
corporation
,
market
townes
,
and
many
new
erected
Manors
,
shall
now
so
beautifie
her
desolation
,
that
her
inaccessible
Woods
,
with
spaces
made
tractable
,
shall
no
longer
nourish
deuowrers
,
but
by
the
sweete
society
of
a
louing
neighbourhood
,
shall
entertaine
humanity
,
euen
in
the
best
fashion
.
Goe
on
worthy
Gentlemen
,
feare
not
,
the
God
of
heauen
will
assist
&
protect
you
,
the
rather
for
that
simply
of
your selues
,
you
do
desire
to
performe
so
honourable
an
action
.
And
they
the
successors
of
high
renowned
Lud
,
will
there
reedifie
a
new
Troy
.
Their
spatious
coffers
haue
the
receipts
of
Englands
treasure
,
and
the
continuall
resplendancy
of
his
Maiesties
presence
doth
so
illustrate
with
the
neuer-discending-beames
of
his
euer-respecting
fauour
,
their
super-exceeding
good
,
that
all
whatsoeuer
by
imagination
may
be
thought
of
,
or
by
pollicy
of
man
be
deuised
,
so
much
absolutely
haue
they
from
thence
,
therefore
they
wil
not
capitulate
the
fresh
and
flourishing
County
of
Colraine
,
with
the
exceeding
bounty
ol
the
Band
that
may
suffice
.
They
haue
Ocanes
Country
,
Band.
and
whatsoeuer
Irelands
Eden
can
affoord
,
and
therefore
euen
in
respect
of
their
owne
reputation
,
they
of
them selues
wil
performe
this
the
most
honourable
action
that
euer
they
attempted
.
Therefore
let
Colraine
reioyce
,
for
the
heart
of
England
(
London
herselfe
)
will
no
doubt
make
her
more
beautifull
then
many
,
and
furnish
Loughfoyle
with
a
goodly
fleete
.
O
powerfull
England
!
no
doubt
if
thou
wilt
extend
the
bounty
of
thy
liberall
hand
,
to
other
lesse
able
to
performe
such
designes
,
then
they
also
will
vndertake
the
other
Counties
,
so
as
within
three
yeares
their
endeauours
shall
bring
thee
and
thine
altogether
out
of
doubt
,
euer
heereafter
to
be
charged
with
any
taxation
for
her
defence
:
for
certainly
so
she
shall
shortly
be
able
rather
to
lend
then
to
borrow
aide
.
Let
not
then
these
kinde
vndertakers
want
any
kinde
of
kindenesse
.
Little
doe
many
of
thy
inhabitants
,
care
to
spend
a
pound
or
two
to
passe
away
one
houre
(
as
it
were
)
at
a
merry
meeting
;
and
presently
it
is
forgotten
.
Let
euery
one
of
worth
giue
but
his
crowne
to
this
honourable
intention
and
merry
meeting
,
it
shall
remaine
as
a
crowne
of
glory
to
euerlasting
posterity
,
and
free
euery
one
of
them
peraduenture
from
the
expence
of
many
pounds
.
And
this
Trophy
of
al
thy
triumphs
the
most
renowned
,
obtained
with
the
liues
of
many
thousands
of
thine
(
as
the
euery
where
dispersed
sculles
of
slaine
men
doe
there
at
this
present
manifestly
declare
)
if
it
be
now
neglected
,
they
thy
next
neighbours
&
those
the
Princes
and
people
far
remote
,
wil
suppose
thee
very
poore
both
in
power
and
pollicy
.
And
thus
(
faire
England
)
hauing
laid
before
thy
amiable
eyes
,
how
naked
Vlster
may
be
relieued
,
deckt
,
and
richly
adorned
,
and
thy selfe
certainely
disburdned
of
much
charge
:
I
referre
the
effecting
thereof
to
the
Kings
most
excellent
Maiestie
,
who
hath
power
to
commaund
,
and
will
no
doubt
prouide
for
Vlsters
prosperity
.
