A
Scourge
for
Rebels
,
of
matter
touching
duetifull
seruices
,
that
merites
immortall
fame
:
wherein
rebels
are
scourged
and
discoursed
of
,
which
seruices
chiefly
by
the
Earle
of
Ormound
(
and
noble
Souldiers
vnder
his
charge
)
were
manfully
begunne
,
worthily
mainteined
,
and
happily
ended
.
WHereas
men
of
good
mindes
,
studious
to
set
out
trueth
,
Louers
of
vertue
,
Haters
of
vice
,
&
Fauourers
of
common
weale
,
haue
framed
themselues
members
of
the
state
,
&
writers
of
good
thinges
woorthie
memorie
(
that
craueth
witnesse
of
the
beste
wittes
)
haue
taken
paines
in
publishing
manye
volumes
well
penned
,
and
printing
of
bookes
needefull
for
this
time
,
&
necessary
for
al
ages
to
read
&
behold
in
time
to
come
:
and
in
manner
written
partly
on
reportes
,
and
partly
on
experience
by
viewe
,
haue
set
downe
not
onely
their
owne
opinions
(
in
matters
treated
of
:
)
but
also
haue
made
rehearsall
of
many
mens
actions
,
and
last
out
the
seruices
of
a
very
honourable
and
valiaunt
Earle
(
named
the
Earle
of
Ormounde
)
whose
noblenes
both
in
nature
and
condition
argues
a
great
minde
,
and
commands
a
multitude
to
speake
wel
of
.
For
which
cause
,
&
the
rather
to
encourage
valiant
hearts
to
continue
in
vertuous
actions
(
a
thing
looked
for
in
eche
degree
and
calling
)
that
may
aduaunce
the
hardy
and
stoute
parsonages
,
I
haue
aduentured
to
put
pen
to
paper
,
in
the
behalfe
especially
of
some
heretofore
long
forgotten
,
and
others
,
both
presently
to
be
praised
,
and
hereafter
may
be
worthy
of
great
renowne
and
credit
.
And
to
be
plaine
,
writers
are
so
small
regarded
,
worlde
so
enuious
,
and
people
so
greedy
of
their
owne
glorye
,
that
fewe
goes
about
to
blow
the
blast
of
good
fame
,
towardes
any
worthy
mans
aduancement
.
Such
is
our
weakenes
of
goodwill
,
and
shortnes
of
breath
,
that
we
can
spare
no
speeches
(
wel
spent
and
bestowed
)
to
the
benefice
of
such
as
deserues
wel
,
whose
doings
,
claimes
good
liking
,
and
a
generall
good
report
of
the
world
.
Yet
commonly
the
best
sort
of
companies
,
being
inclined
to
noble
disposition
are
glad
to
heare
the
worthy
commended
,
&
with
sweete
wordes
furthers
the
fame
of
any
one
that
merits
commendation
.
The
trueth
of
things
is
wel
bestowed
among
such
people
&
nothing
should
be
hid
from
their
knowledge
,
that
so
thankfully
welcomes
the
wel
doing
of
others
.
And
in
effect
no
enterprise
of
value
is
taken
in
hand
,
but
in
hope
that
labour
and
paines
shoulde
reape
commodity
and
praise
,
a
good
worke
may
not
scape
vnrewarded
,
and
what
better
worke
can
there
bee
,
then
to
cut
off
sicke
and
rotten
members
from
a
sound
and
hole
bodie
?
I
meane
who
can
be
better
occupied
then
those
that
would
weed
out
of
a
common
weale
,
a
number
of
cankred
mindes
infected
with
corrupt
manners
that
may
sodainly
wound
harmlesse
hearts
,
and
breake
the
common
society
of
good
men
?
Is
there
any
labour
more
laudable
,
seruice
more
famous
,
life
more
toilesome
,
or
exercises
more
noble
,
then
stil
to
be
busied
for
the
preseruation
of
a
Prince
and
countrie
?
And
who
I
pray
you
liues
in
more
hazard
,
eates
with
lesse
quietnes
,
sleepes
in
more
daunger
,
or
tasteth
so
many
miseries
as
the
Souldier
that
only
seekes
his
countries
glorie
and
his
owne
credite
?
Deserues
not
that
man
an
euerlasting
renowme
,
that
refuseth
no
iourney
,
shuns
no
seruice
,
nor
auoydes
no
action
to
doe
his
countrie
good
?
Ye
shal
reade
how
the
Romaines
rewarded
the
valiancy
of
men
with
a
Crowne
called
the
Crowne
Ciuique
,
which
albeit
,
it
was
but
of
speciall
greene
leaues
,
yet
was
it
as
muche
or
more
esteemed
then
some
golden
crownes
that
Emperors
ded
weare
in
triumph
,
as
diuers
Authours
thereof
makes
mention
.
And
where
such
Souldiers
(
crowned
in
this
manner
)
repaired
either
in
open
pastimes
,
priuace
playes
,
and
Comedies
,
or
in
any
noble
assembly
where
honour
is
to
be
receiued
and
looked
for
,
the
sacred
Senate
,
and
generally
the
whole
Senators
altogether
would
arise
from
their
seates
of
maiestie
&
shewe
a
certaine
salutation
towardes
the
honourable
souldier
,
at
his
comming
to
their
presence
,
and
further
to
animate
couragious
mindes
,
there
was
alwayes
an
honourable
place
prepared
(
a
part
from
common
people
)
for
the
souldier
.
Wherby
the
world
might
see
the
souldiers
worthines
,
and
learne
to
regard
men
worthely
,
whose
seruice
deserued
great
reputation
.
But
looke
now
what
great
&
mighty
matters
were
brought
to
passe
in
that
age
,
what
victories
were
woonne
,
what
tryumphs
were
obtayned
,
and
what
riches
and
treasure
was
gotten
by
the
inuincible
courage
of
meane
,
and
by
meane
of
the
honour
that
souldiers
and
citizens
of
Rome
possessed
.
Among
the
East
Indians
at
this
present
day
,
souldiers
are
so
reuerenced
and
made
of
,
that
the
meane
people
muste
not
onely
giue
them
way
&
curtesie
,
but
also
must
labour
for
their
maintenance
,
yea
their
stipends
and
liuing
are
so
greate
(
by
a
publike
prouision
)
that
they
alwayes
liue
and
feed
on
the
common
treasure
,
and
euery
thing
is
allotted
and
appointed
them
,
as
it
came
by
inheritaunce
,
and
were
possessed
from
their
parentes
.
Did
not
king
Alexander
the
great
,
in
the
beginning
and
middle
of
his
conquests
,
cause
souldiers
to
be
honoured
,
made
orders
and
lawes
that
no
man
should
doe
them
iniurie
,
&
since
his
dayes
as
wel
as
before
his
time
,
when
a
souldier
should
be
iudged
(
by
a
free
libertie
graunted
from
kinges
)
he
might
appeale
to
Cesar
from
the
lawes
of
the
land
,
and
so
in
euery
sort
his
priuiledge
was
so
great
,
that
al
manner
of
men
knew
him
to
be
honourable
.
Though
duty
and
good
disposition
halleth
men
forward
,
to
aduenture
great
attempts
and
seruices
,
if
same
should
be
kept
from
them
,
their
warme
good
willes
woulde
waxe
colde
,
and
wearines
would
quickly
ouercome
the
willingest
mind
,
that
euer
followed
marshall
affaires
.
For
as
the
dumbe
beast
being
cherished
and
comforted
with
his
maysters
sweete
entertainement
,
drawes
(
as
seemeth
)
with
a
better
delighte
in
labour
,
and
forsakes
neyther
foule
waye
,
nor
harde
aduenture
for
eache
sensible
manne
feelinge
some
encouragemente
in
his
traueile
,
goes
on
Iustely
to
his
businesse
,
and
thinkes
the
lesse
of
greate
burdens
,
because
some
hope
leades
him
forewarde
,
and
helpes
to
ease
his
ouercharged
Bodye
,
and
shoulders
:
fayre
woordes
(
with
some
fruit
)
and
gentle
behauiour
,
I
tel
you
,
towleth
some
forward
,
that
otherwise
would
dragge
farre
behind
,
&
perswades
great
content
to
an
aspiring
mind
,
that
gapes
after
glory
,
and
is
nourished
with
good
hope
.
Nowe
since
in
our
elders
dayes
(
of
great
antiquity
)
souldidiers
had
countenance
and
credite
,
that
qualified
their
carefull
turmoylinges
,
and
recompensed
their
labours
,
with
a
blast
of
noble
reporte
,
this
our
tyme
presente
muste
of
compulsion
(
by
meane
of
their
prerogatiue
)
yeelde
them
praises
condigne
for
their
deseruinges
,
and
fit
for
personages
of
manly
spirite
and
towardnes
.
So
if
all
nations
&
times
allow
necessary
fame
to
valiant
mindes
,
and
reason
graunts
that
good
men
should
be
honored
,
(
especially
in
a
naughty
world
)
because
desire
of
fame
breedes
many
woorthy
actions
,
wee
may
the
better
(
and
with
greater
holdnesse
)
enterprise
to
register
them
in
the
renowmed
booke
of
commendation
.
All
this
before
by
me
written
,
meante
onely
of
souldiers
,
that
serue
and
haue
serued
agaynste
forraine
enemyes
.
Then
what
Tytle
,
what
honour
shall
I
giue
them
?
and
what
style
shall
I
holde
in
the
honouring
of
those
that
continuallie
agaynste
Rebelles
,
haue
shewed
theyr
vttermoste
force
and
pollicye
,
whiche
seruices
of
theirs
,
springes
of
maruellous
trueth
and
affection
,
and
ought
not
to
be
forgotten
of
no
posterity
nor
nation
:
the
consequent
is
so
greate
thereof
,
and
the
constancie
so
muche
in
them
,
that
pursues
Rebelles
,
that
no
mannes
penne
is
able
sufficientlie
to
prayse
them
aright
.
For
they
are
suche
profitable
proppes
and
pillers
of
the
publike
pillers
of
the
publike
weale
,
that
they
maye
marche
nexte
vnto
honourable
Councellours
whose
wisedome
trice
out
follies
,
and
whose
grauity
graciously
gouernes
.
And
so
to
be
short
,
if
conscience
confesseeth
that
eche
man
dooynge
well
,
shall
possesse
immortall
prayse
,
I
may
not
forgette
,
and
vtterlye
leaue
out
the
noble
.
Actes
and
seruices
of
mine
auncient
Friende
the
woorthye
Earle
of
Ormounde
,
whose
deedes
when
you
heare
,
(
thoughe
you
were
mortall
enemyes
)
you
shal
maruel
of
:
and
when
you
consider
the
the
substaunce
thereof
throughlye
,
you
that
haue
power
and
abilitie
,
shal
imitate
his
steppes
,
and
bee
followers
after
the
light
of
so
noble
a
lanterne
,
that
in
the
darkest
times
,
doubtefullest
dayes
,
and
most
obscure
season
,
hath
shewed
brightnesse
,
and
like
a
blasing
starre
hath
stood
stiffly
in
a
fixed
place
,
and
cast
a
cleere
light
,
so
farre
,
that
al
the
beholders
may
be
gladde
thereof
,
and
wel
therein
.
First
,
for
that
the
Countrey
of
Irelande
hath
beene
a
long
whyle
subiecte
to
sundrye
seditions
and
sorrowful
calamities
moste
miserable
for
them selues
,
and
chargeable
to
the
Prince
,
the
reformation
whereof
hath
coste
manye
a
woorthye
mannes
lyfe
,
and
the
greater
hath
growen
the
griefes
because
diuers
of
that
Nation
neglecting
their
dueties
,
haue
hadde
small
care
of
the
common
tranquillitye
and
peace
of
poore
people
,
by
which
insolence
,
rebellion
hath
beene
bredde
:
and
shamelesse
dissention
set
abroche
.
And
continuing
in
extremitye
,
verye
sore
woundes
and
maymes
the
publique
state
hath
sustayned
,
til
GOD
of
his
goodnesse
raysed
vppe
some
suche
members
as
sought
nothing
but
redresse
and
quietnesse
.
It
happened
in
a
number
of
seruices
that
one
Noble
manne
was
so
fortunate
(
because
of
his
fideltye
)
that
manye
of
the
reste
didde
feare
him
,
and
therefore
soughte
his
ouerthrow
,
but
he
being
armed
with
a
iust
quarrel
and
minding
to
scourge
Rebels
,
omitted
no
occasion
to
take
the
enemies
at
aduantage
,
but
howsoeuer
he
chaunced
to
finde
them
,
he
fortunately
suppressed
their
pride
,
and
followed
the
faithful
course
and
forme
of
a
most
noble
captaine
.
And
because
it
shal
be
seene
to
the
worlde
,
orderly
what
heedid
,
herein
shal
bee
set
downe
the
matter
,
place
,
and
time
,
of
a
part
of
his
honourable
seruices
,
to
the
intent
it
shall
not
dwell
in
forgetfulnesse
,
and
to
encourage
other
noble
personages
in
doing
their
countrey
good
to
treade
the
steppes
of
the
noble
Earle
of
Ormound
.
I
remembring
his
forwardnes
in
the
young
king
Edwards
dayes
(
with
whom
he
was
brought
vp
)
and
the
charge
he
had
of
some
horsemen
in
Queene
Maries
raigne
against
Rebels
in
England
,
haue
called
in
like
manner
to
minde
,
the
seruice
hee
did
against
the
Omoores
and
the
Oconnors
in
their
rebellion
of
Ireland
,
also
the
ouerthrowing
of
Dunloghe
,
Oswilleuane
Moores
chiefest
house
,
is
woorthie
note
:
for
it
was
in
time
of
Rebellion
,
with
other
ordinary
seruices
,
that
alwaies
did
testifie
,
that
this
Earle
was
a
sharpe
scourge
to
Rebels
.
And
to
proue
that
his
daily
desire
thirsted
after
noble
enterprises
(
for
the
punishment
of
malefactors
)
he
serued
chargeably
and
in
no
little
daunger
(
on
his
owne
proper
coste
and
expence
)
with
two
hundred
footemen
,
and
fiftie
horsemen
in
Ulster
,
the
North
parte
of
Irelande
against
Iohn
Oneale
,
who
was
in
open
action
of
rebellion
manie
and
sundrie
seasons
.
In
the
like
manner
all
on
his
own
charge
,
he
serued
against
the
scot
,
called
Iames
Maconell
,
in
Ulster
,
whose
force
he
ouerthrewe
to
the
number
of
two
thousand
men
,
and
in
the
ende
droue
the
scot
to
flye
away
.
Then
hauing
charge
of
Thomounde
(
by
vertue
of
the
Queenes
highnes
commission
)
hee
tooke
all
the
Castles
and
ho●●es
thereof
in
spite
of
the
Earle
of
Thomounde
(
who
was
in
rebellion
)
slue
diuers
of
his
men
,
and
brought
others
of
them
to
submission
,
compelling
the
Earle
,
himselfe
(
for
safegarde
of
his
life
)
to
flie
into
Fraunce
,
where
hee
remayned
,
vntill
her
Maiestie
on
her
meere
clemencie
,
pardoned
his
life
,
and
restored
his
landes
.
The
Earle
of
Thomoundes
mother
notwithstanding
,
was
Aunt
to
the
Earle
of
Ormounde
,
which
shewes
that
neither
respect
of
blood
,
nor
friendship
could
hinder
any
peece
of
dutiful
seruice
.
In
another
greate
seruice
the
Earle
of
Ormound
hearing
that
Desmound
went
about
to
annoy
Syr
Maurice
fitz
Gerralt
(
late
vicount
of
the
Desies
)
he
raised
a
power
and
mette
Desmounde
in
the
fielde
,
gaue
him
battaile
at
Athmanie
,
slue
fiue
hundred
of
his
men
,
tooke
himselfe
captiue
,
and
sente
him
into
England
where
he
remayned
till
the
Queenes
highnesse
vouchesafed
to
remit
his
offence
,
and
returned
him
home
to
his
countrey
.
Nowe
in
processe
of
time
,
my
Lord
of
Ormounde
by
the
Queenes
appointment
,
became
gouernor
of
Mounster
in
the
beginning
of
Desmondes
last
reuolt
,
when
hee
had
of
Rebels
about
him
,
two
thousand
able
men
,
but
he
was
folowed
so
fast
,
and
so
hardly
beset
(
by
suche
as
were
appointed
for
that
purpose
)
that
he
was
driuen
to
manie
extremities
,
partely
by
the
ayde
and
aduice
of
the
L.
Iustice
,
Syr
William
Pelham
,
and
partly
by
the
policie
and
power
of
the
Lord
Gouernour
(
who
chiefly
was
general
in
the
field
)
that
of
two
thousand
men
,
the
Desmound
was
left
but
one
bare
hundred
,
and
as
it
seemed
,
and
may
be
prooued
,
the
Earle
of
Ormounde
was
cause
of
the
weakening
of
the
enemies
force
,
as
hereafter
you
maye
reade
,
when
it
comes
to
that
point
.
But
the
L.
Gouernour
being
remoued
from
that
charge
,
came
into
England
,
from
whence
after
some
time
spent
there
,

driuen

About

his

Since

time
,
the

was
relieued
by
a
Captaine
of
Galloglas
(
called

)
whereof
the
Earle
of

hauing
aduertisement
by
suche

that
seruice
,
pursued
hym
into

Countrie
where
hee
tooke
the
moste
parte
of
his
goodes
,
and
lefte
no

,
insomuche
as
the
first
of
the

Nouember
,
the

was
enforced
to

,
and
there
tooke

aforesaide
Gentleman
:
whiche
Donnogho
with

made

,
slewe

,
and
sent

he
would
giue

Wherupon

for

charged
conscience
,
as
is
seene
by
this
seruice
.
First
marke
,
this
Earle
serued
against
his
owne
nation
,
against
his
owne
blood
,
against
his
familiars
,
and
against
all
forreyne
power
and
deuises
,
against
whom
often
he
obtained
victories
,
and
neuer
tooke
foyle
,
where
his
Aduersaries
were
conquered
,
and
broughte
to
vtter
subuersion
.
Truely
a
matter
to
be
maruelled
at
,
and
a
terrible
example
to
all
those
that
foolishely
committe
offence
.
For
trueth
is
so
watchful
,
so
stoute
in
right
,
and
strong
in
battaile
,
that
falshood
can
finde
neyther
force
nor
cunning
to
auoyde
and
resist
.
This
Irishe
action
&
scourge
of
Rebelles
,
may
warne
the
busie
wittes
and
wanton
heades
to
beware
of
punishment
,
and
make
retchlesse
children
feare
the
rodde
.
Which
rodde
and
scourge
,
euery
noble
mind
beares
openly
and
awfully
,
to
make
the
miserable
offender
quake
and
tremble
,
not
onely
at
his
owne
treacherie
,
but
also
at
the
view
of
a
true
mans
face
,
which
forceth
a
Rebel
to
blush
and
turne
backe
vnto
,
and
either
mainely
to
run
away
or
feebly
to
fight
.
Yea
,
and
though
a
while
the
rebel
waxeth
wilde
&
wanders
at
pleasure
.
Yet
sodainly
he
is
made
tame
,
and
taken
in
a
net
like
a
wyld
goose
,
that
knowes
of
no
danger
,
till
the
fowler
hath
him
in
his
fingers
.
Nowe
by
this
notorious
seruice
of
the
Earle
of
Ormounde
(
and
forwardnesse
of
good
souldiers
)
the
whole
realme
of
Ireland
may
see
that
trueth
hath
euer
the
victorie
,
and
treason
is
put
to
shame
and
dishonour
,
which
iustice
of
God
and
fidelitye
of
man
shal
be
I
trust
,
a
myrrour
for
al
kind
of
nations
to
look
into
,
and
shal
cause
to
be
made
cleane
al
infected
consciences
,
and
blottes
of
the
browe
that
defiles
the
faces
of
many
wicked
people
.
So
thus
farre
I
haue
gone
in
the
rehearsal
of
a
portion
of
the
Earle
of
Ormoundes
seruices
,
meaning
to
write
more
as
time
permitteth
me
.
And
thus
was
the
rather
taken
in
hand
&
finished
in
haste
,
because
your
good
Lordship
shall
see
howe
I
imploy
mine
aged
yeeres
.
For
the
exercises
of
pen
,
and
trauell
of
body
,
makes
me
looke
so
young
:
And
now
to
knit
vppe
my
careful
pilgrimage
,
I
frame
my selfe
daily
to
purchace
noble
friends
,
whose
power
may
further
my
good
fortune
here
,
and
yeeld
some
sparke
of
good
reporte
,
when
I
am
gone
,
and
my
candle
is
cleane
burned
out
,
for
which
intent
only
I
haue
presented
your
honourable
Lordship
this
litle
booke
.
A
peece
of
forgetfulnes
hath
hindered
my
memorie
,
&
left
out
a
great
matter
which
shold
haue
bin
mentioned
in
order
,
among
the
rest
of
this
seuere
Earles
seruices
,
who
as
I
haue
sayd
before
,
took
no
regard
of
blood
,
birth
,
friendship
,
familiarity
,
nor
personage
whatsoeuer
,
when
it
came
to
the
point
of
iustice
.
For
in
execution
therof
,
all
people
were
alike
vnto
him
,
were
they
neuer
so
neere
of
his
kin
or
consanguinity
,
as
appeareth
plainly
by
the
hanging
of
his
owne
base
sonne
,
(
and
his
Brothers
sonne
)
of
late
:
with
a
number
hanged
likewise
of
their
folowers
,
which
noble
and
seuere
deede
of
his
,
as
it
is
rare
and
most
to
be
marueiled
at
,
so
is
it
an
act
comparable
to
kinges
,
that
spared
not
their
owne
children
in
causes
of
punishment
,
and
shewing
good
example
.
And
as
the
other
his
worthie
doinges
,
merites
an
euerlasting
same
:
so
this
deserues
a
perpetuall
renowne
and
praise
,
as
all
iust
men
I
knowe
wil
confesse
.
Further
as
I
saide
,
I
forgate
some
matter
,
so
the
taking
and
bee-heading
of
Syr
Iames
of
Desmound
(
which
was
when
the
Earle
of
Ormound
was
Gouernour
of
Mounster
)
must
be
remembred
,
for
I
mind
at
the
length
to
bring
most
of
al
his
good
actions
to
light
.
Your
L.
humbly
and
loyally
in
al
at
commandement
.
