TO
THE
RIGHT
Worshipfull
my
especiall
good
friend
,
Sir
W.
D.
Knight
.
SIr
in
my
last
of
the
19.
of
December
I
wrote
to
you
at
large
of
the
arriuall
of
the
newe
supplie
of
Spaniards
at
Castel-hauen
,
Baltemore
,
and
Beerhauen
,
and
of
their
intents
and
beginnings
to
fortifie
,
in
all
those
thrée
important
places
.
Likewise
that
Sir
Richard
Leuison
towing
out
of
Kinsale
Hauen
against
winde
&
weather
,
fought
with
them
within
Castle
Hauen
most
valiantly
,
and
of
their
ships
being
sixe
,
sunke
and
made
vnseruiceable
fiue
:
the
men
being
most
landed
before
hee
could
come
to
them
,
by
reason
of
the
weather
,
and
beating
vpon
him
very
dangerously
from
the
land
with
their
ordinance
.
That
they
were
said
to
be
2000.
in
number
,
with
great
store
of
ordinance
and
munition
,
&
that
as
they
reported
,
some
thousande
moe
were
comming
after
.
That
a
great
part
of
the
Irishry
of
Munster
becommen
Rebels
of
new
,
were
reuolted
to
them
,
and
receiued
into
the
King
of
Spaines
pay
.
That
Odonell
with
good
Forces
of
horse
and
foote
out
of
the
North
,
by
the
benefit
of
the
then
extreame
&
sudden
frost
,
gat
passage
almost
vnlooked
for
by
himselfe
,
and
slipping
by
the
Lord
President
of
Munster
(
who
was
sent
to
impeach
him
)
with
such
forces
as
could
be
spared
from
the
Army
)
was
ioyned
with
them
.
That

O

,

,

,
Tyrrel

the
Baron
of
Lixenho
,
and
the
rest
of
the
old
fugitiue
Rebels
of
Munster
,
with
the
greatest
and
choisest
force
that
was
euer
amassed
in
Ireland
,
were
drawne
nere
our
Camp
.
And
that
these
all
,
together
with
sixe
Ensignes
of
those
newly
arriued
Spaniards
,
in
all
to
the
number
of
6000.

,
and
500

,

Powle
,
were
on
foote
ready
to
march
towardes
Kynsale
and
our
Campe
,
with
intent
and
most
assured
confident
hope
with
helpe
of
them
in
the
Town
,
which
should
haue
salyed
out
on
the
Campe
,
vpon
the
attempt
of
Tyrone
and
Odonell
,
and
were
aboue
2000.
Spaniards
,
almost
all
old
souldiers
,
aswell
to
reléeue
and
rescue
the
Towne
,
as
to
remoue
our
siege
,
and
vtterly
to
breake
,
dishonour
,
and
defeate
vs
.
And
truely
Sir
,
when
I
did
then
consider
,
on
the
one
side
this
great
strength
,
the
newly
ioyned
men
and
horses
to
bée
all
fresh
,
vigorous
,
and
strong
,
hauing
all
the
Countrey
open
to
them
,
abounding
with
victuals
,
forrages
,
armies
,
munition
,
and
all
furnitures
:
those
in
the
Towne
,
the
most
of
them
experienced
souldiers
,
well
armed
,
and
in
no
such
want
as
was
supposed
:
On
the
other
side
,
our
men
in
numbers
scant
equall
to
them
,
all
almost
tyred
and
wearied
out
with
the
miserie
of
a
long
Winters
siege
,
our
horses
decayed
,
leane
and
very
weake
,
our
best
meanes
of
victuals
and
forrage
likely
to
be
cut
from
vs
,
with
many
other
impediments
whereof
I
speake
not
;
When
I
say
,
I
well
wayed
and
pondred
with
my selfe
these
poynts
,
and
layde
together
withall
,
this
one
of
great
importance
,
that
when
we
should
be
forced
(
as
it
was
likely
)
to
answere
two
forces
at
once
,
one
from
the
Towne
,
another
without
,
a
great
part
of
our
men
were
like
enough
to
shrink
,
or
at
least
not
to
stick
firmely
to
vs
(
which
by
good
coniectures
I
could
make
probable
to
you
)
Blame
me
not
,
if
vpon
these
considerations
I
wrote
to
you
then
somewhat
distrustfully
of
our
estate
,
as
taking
indéed
our
liues
and
honors
,
this
seruice
,
and
by
consequence
this
whole
Countrey
likely
to
be
put
to
an
vnequall
iumpe
.
And
so
may
I
well
say
they
were
,
although
by
the
goodnesse
of
GOD
especially
,
and
by
the
most
vigilant
circumspection
and
valiant
prowes
of
our
worthy
Generall
,
things
out
of
these
difficulties
haue
now
sorted
to
so
happy
successe
,
as
by
that
which
followeth
you
shall
sufficiently
perceiue
.
To
continue
therefore
my
accustomed
Relation
to
you
,
and
to
begin
from
that
said
day
of
the
19.
of
December
,
It
may
please
you
to
knowe
,
that
on
Sunday
the
20.
wée
still
plying
our
attempts
to
the
Towne
,
with
face
and
shew
as
though
we
nothing
cared
for
Tyrone
and
his
companie
,
at
night
certaine
intelligence
was
brought
vs
,
that
he
would
bée
the
next
night
within
a
myle
and
a
halfe
of
vs
,
with
all
the
aboue
recyted
Forces
.
And
accordingly
vpon
Munday
the
21.
towardes
night
,
hée
shewed
himselfe
with
most
part
of
his
horse
and
foote
,
on
a
hill
betwéene
our
Campe
and
Corke
,
a
myle
off
vs
.
At
which
time
séeing
two
Regiments
of
our
foote
,
and
some
horse
drawne
out
of
our
Campe
,
and
making
a
resolute
march
towardes
him
,
hée
fell
backe
to
the
other
side
of
the
hill
,
where
hée
encamped
that
night
,
strengthened
with
a
fastnesse
of
wood
and
water
.
Whereby
though
his
retyre
might
bée
imputed
to
some
touch
of
credite
,
yet
had
hee
this
aduantage
,
that
hée
might
kéepe
from
our
Armie
all
passages
and
meanes
for
forrage
:
The
other
side
ouer
the
Riuer
of
Ownibuoye
béeing
wholly
at
his
disposition
,
by
reason
of
the
generall
reuolt
of
those
parts
.
On
Tuesday
the
22.
some
of
Tyrones
horse
and
foote
made
shewe
againe
in
the
place
where
they
had
done
the
day
before
,
and
that
night
were
some
of
their
horse
,
and
500.
foote
discouered
,
searching
if
they
might
finde
fit
way
to
the
Towne
.
On
Wednesday
the
23.
aswell
by
intelligence
otherwise
,
as
by
letters
of
Don
Iohn
d'l
Aquila
,
Generall
of
the
Spaniards
,
and
Captaine
of
the
Towne
newly
intercepted
,
we
found
that
he
had
importuned
Tyrone
and
his
company
very
much
,
to
giue
an
attempt
vpon
our
Campe
;
inumating
vnto
them
his
owne
necessitie
,
and
likelyhood
to
bee
shortly
forced
within
the
Towne
,
their
faithfull
promises
to
succour
him
,
the
facilitie
&
vndoubted
successe
of
the
enterprise
,
he
assuring
them
,
that
our
numbers
could
not
be
but
much
lessened
,
and
those
that
were
remaining
,
greatly
decayed
and
weakened
with
the
long
winter
siege
,
so
that
it
was
not
possible
we
should
be
able
to
maintaine
so
much
ground
as
we
had
taken
when
our
strength
was
full
,
if
they
on
the
one
side
,
and
he
on
the
other
put
vs
well
too
it
:
which
he
for
his
part
promised
them
assuredly
to
doo
very
soundly
from
the
Towne
,
whensoeuer
they
should
thinke
fit
to
doo
the
like
from
their
Campe
.
And
it
séemeth
that
vpon
this
aduise
they
tooke
their
determinate
resolution
for
this
course
,
and
to
put
it
in
execution
with
all
speed
,
either
that
night
or
the
next
at
the
furthest
.
Those
of
the
Towne
in
the
meane
time
gaue
vs
alarums
,
made
Sallies
,
and
did
by
all
meanes
what
they
could
to
kéepe
our
men
in
continuall
trauell
,
that
they
might
be
the
lesse
able
for
resistance
when
this
attempt
should
come
to
be
performed
.
The
Lord
Deputie
till
now
applied
himselfe
in
show
wholly
towards
the
Towne
,
but
indéed
not
meaning
any
forceable
effectuall
attempt
vpon
it
,
till
he
sawe
what
would
become
of
Tyrone
and
his
Forces
.
and
therefore
hadde
an
especiall
eye
,
by
continuall
espiall
,
vpon
his
meanings
,
and
lest
suddaine
hurt
should
be
taken
from
him
,
or
the
Towne
,
if
both
he
without
,
and
they
within
should
inuade
at
once
,
he
made
Fortes
and
Barracadoes
,
heightned
the
ditches
,
déepened
the
Trenches
,
stopped
and
strengthened
all
the
Auenues
to
the
Towne
,
hadde
the
whole
Army

a
readinesse
vppon
euery
suddaine
warning
,
and
kept
strong
and
watchfull
guardes
alwayes
in
all
places
.
And
now
late
in
the
night
of
this
Wednesday
,
the
thrée
and
twentieth
day
,
being
assuredly
enfourmed
of
their
intent

,
or

after

the
earle
of
Clanricard
,
who
neuer
ceased
vrging
to
fight
,
taking
with
them
sir
Richard
Greame
,
and
other
companies
of
horse
:
with
them
,
and
those
foote
,
forcing
the
enemies
horse
that
kept
the
passage
,
passed
ouer
,
and
with
that
aduantage
,
finding
themselues
side
by
side
with
the
enemies
battell
,
and
further
on
then
their
rere
,
charged
their
battell
in
flanke
,
but
finding
them
to
stand
firme
,
whéeled
about
.
At
which
the
enemies
taking
corage
,
drew
on
their
horse
,
with
a
cry
to
a
charge
,
who
came
on
brauely
within
fiftie
or
sixtie
paces
of
our
horse
,
and
there
after
their
country
fashion
stopped
,
shaking
their
staues
,
and
railingly
vaunting
,
but
durst
charge
no
further
.
Which
the
Lord
Deputy
séeing
,
sent
presently
ouer
the
Foorde
to
them
his
owne
cornet
of
horse
,
vnder
sir
William
Godolphin
,
and
the
Lord

he

to

to

together
with

Wherevpon
the

and

charged
againe
the
Enemies
horse
,
who
not
abiding

shocke
,
fledde
.
At
the
sight
whereof
,
the
battell
dismaying
,
our
menne
thought
it
better
to
charge
againe
vpon
them
,
then
to
follow
the

,
and
so
coragiously
doing

vtterly
brake

commanded
by
Captaine
Roe

in
absence
of

(
dispatched
few
dayes
before
by
the
Lord
Deputie
,
and
Counsaile
,
for
speciall
affaires
to

Maiesty
)
charging
him
first
,
not
to
stir
,
till
he
receiued
direction
from
him
.
But
séeing
Tirrell
,
and
the
Spaniards
drawing
betwéene
our
horse
,
béeing
on
the
execution
,
and
the
bodies
of
our
foote
,
his
Lo.
hauing
hitherto
,
by
direction
,
set
al
other
mens
swords
on
work
,
himselfe
now
in
the
head
of
our
said
Rere
,
where
he
had
before
resolued
to
fight
,
charged
the
Enemy
in
flancke
,
and
put
them
to
a
disorderly
retreite
after
their
fellows
to
the
toppe
of
the
next
hill
,
where
they
made
stand
a
little
while
.
But
the
Irish
quiting
the
Spaniards
,
the
Spaniardes
in
short
time
were
broken
by
the
Lord
Deputies
horse
,
commaunded
by
sir
William
Godolphin
,
and
most
of
them
slaine
.
The
vantgarde
of
the
Enemy
,
with
all
the
loose
wings
,
which
were
many
,
séeing
what
happened
,
threw
away
their
armes
(
and
all
our
men
being
otherwise
busie
)
escaped
.
The
chiefe
Commaunder
of
the
Spaniards
,
Don
Alonso
d'Ocampo
was
taken
prisoner
,
with
three
Captaines
,
sixe
Alferrez
,
and
fortie
souldiers
.
Tirone
,
and
Odonell
,
with
the
rest
of
the
Irish
Lords
,
ran
apace
,
and
saued
themselues
.
Those
of
the
battell
were
almost
all
slaine
,
and
there
were
(
of
the
Irish
Rebelles
onely
)
found
dead
in
the
place
,
about
twelue
hundred
bodies
,
and
about
eight
hundred
were
hurt
,
whereof
many
dyed
that
night
:
and
the
chace
continuing
almost
two
miles
,
was
left
off
,
our
men
being
tyred
with
killing
.
The
Enemy
lost
two
thousand
Armes
brought
to
reckning
,
besides
great
numbers
imbezeled
,
al
their
powder
and
drummes
,
and
ix
.
ensigns
,
whereof
6.
Spanish
.
Those
of
the
Irish
that
were
taken
prisoners
,
being
brought
to
the
Campe
,
though
they
offered
ransome
,
were
all
hanged
.
On
our
side
,
onely
one
man
was
slaine
,
the
Cornet
of
sir
Richard
Greame
.
Sir
Henry
Dauers
was
hurt
with
a
sword
slightly
:
sir
William
Godolphin
a
little
raced
on
the
thigh
with
a
holbert
,
Captaine
Crofts
the
Skowt-master
with
a
shot
in
the
back
,
&
not
aboue
sixe
moe
common
souldiers
hurt
.
Many
of
our
horses
were
killed
,
and
moe
hurt
.
And
thus
were
they
vtterly
ouerthrowne
,
who
but
the
very
night
before
,
were
so
braue
and
confident
of
their
owne
good
successe
,
as
that
they
reckoned
vs
already
theirs
,
and
as
wée
since
haue
vnderstoode
,
were
in
contention
whose
prisoner
the
Lord
Deputy
should
be
,
whose
the
the
Lorde
President
,
and
so
of
the
rest
.
The
Earle
of
Clanrickard
carried
himselfe
this
day
very
valiantly
,
and
after
the
retreite
sounded
,
was
Knighted
by
the
Lorde
Deputy
,
in
the
field
amongst
the
dead
bodies
.
So
did
all
the
rest
of
the
Captaines
,
Officers
,
and
Souldiers
,
named
and
vnnamed
,
and
especially
the
Lo.
Deputy
himselfe
,
who
brake
,
in
person
,
vpon
the
floure
of
the
army
the
Spaniards
,
and
omitted
no
duety
of
a
wise
diligent
Conductor
and
valiant
souldier
.
Vpon
the
fight
ended
,
he
presently
called
together
the
Army
,
and
with
prayers
,
gaue
God
thankes
for
the
victorie
.
A
victorie
indéede
giuen
by
the
God
of
Hostes
,
and
maruellous
in
our
eyes
,
if
all
circumstances
be
duely
considered
,
and
of
such
consequence
for
the
preseruation
and
assuraunce
to
her
Maiestie
,
of
this
déepely
endangered
kingdome
,
as
I
leaue
to
wiser
consideration
,
contenting
my selfe
with
this
,
that
I
sée
the
God
of
power
and
might
,
disposed
to
protect
the
iust
cause
of
his
seruaunt
,
our
gratious
Quéene
Elizabeth
,
against
the
pride
,
malice
,
and
powerful
disdain
of
the
greatest
potentates
,
hir
enemies
.
To
him
be
the
glorie
.
After
this
glorious
victorie
thus
valiantly
atchieued
,
the
Lord
Deputy
the
same
day
hasted
to
his
campe
,
lest
any
thing
(
in
his
absence
)
might
happely
haue
béene
attempted
there
.
But
,
not
finding
the
Ennemy
to
haue
made
any
sally
,
which
indéede
had
béene
but
vaine
for
him
,
considering
the
small
fruit
he
reaped
by
them
heretofore
,
euery
one
that
he
made
hitherto
redounding
stil
to
his
owne
detriment
and
losse
,
and
euery
place
of
our
Camp
,
at
this
time
,
being
so
wel
and
sufficiently
strengthened
and
prouided
for
against
him
as
is
sayd
before
.
The
next
day
his
Lordship
commaunded
Captayne
Bodlegh
Trench-maister
generall
of
the
Campe
,
who
as
well
in
the
fight
,
as
in
the
workes
,
had
deserued
speciall
commendation
,
to
sée
the
formerly
begunne
Forte
and
platforms
,
to
be
vndertaken
againe
,
and
néerer
approches
to
be
cast
out
towardes
the
towne
.
But
after
fiue
or
sixe
dayes
labour
Don
Iohn
d'
lAquila
,
captaine
of
the
Towne
and
Forces
within
,
offered
a
parlée
,
sending
the
Drumme
maior
of
the
Towne
with
a
sealed
letter
to
the
Lord
Deputy
,
by
which
he
required
,
that
some
gentleman
of
speciall
trust
and
sufficiencie
might
be
sent
into
the
towne
from
his
Lordship
,
to
conferre
with
him
,
whom
he
would
acquaint
with
such
conditions
,
as
hée
then
stoode
vpon
.
His
Request
being
assented
vnto
by
his
Lordship
,
sir
William
Godolphin
was
imployed
in
the
negotiation
,
which
was
carried
in
this
forte
,
word
for
word
,
as
it
is
taken
out
of
the
originalls
here
,
viz.
Don
Iohn
tolde
sir
William
,
that
hauing
found
the
Lord
Deputy
(
whome
he
termed
the
Viceroy
)
although
a
sharpe
and
powerfull
,
yet
an
honorable
Enemy
,
and
the
Irish
,
not
onely
weake
and
barbarous
,
but
(
as
hée
feared
)
perfidious
friendes
,
he
was
so
farre
in
his
affections
reconciled
to
the
one
,
and
distasted
with
the
other
,
as
did
inuite
him
to
make
an
ouerture
of
such
a
composition
as
might
be
safe
and
profitable
for
the
State
of
England
,
with
least
preiudice
to
the
Crowne
of
Spaine
,
by
deliuering
into
the
Viceroy
his
power
,
the
Towne
of
Kynsale
,
with
all
other
places
in
Ireland
,
held
by
the
Spanish
,
so
as
they
might
depart
on
honorable
termes
,
fitting
such
men
of
warre
,
as
are
not
(
by
necessity
)
inforced
to
receiue
conditions
,
but
willingly
induced
,
for
iust
respects
to
dis-ingage
themselues
,
and
to
relinquish
a
people
,
by
whom
their
King
and
Master
had
bene
so
notoriously
abused
,
(
if
not
betrayed
.
)
That
if
the
Viceroy
liked
to
entertaine
further
parley
touching
this
point
,
he
would
first
be
pleased
to
vnderstand
them
rightly
,
&
to
make
his
propositions
such
as
might
be
sutable
,
to
men
thorowly
resolued
,
rather
to
bury
themselues
aliue
,
and
to
endure
a
thousand
deaths
,
then
to
giue
way
to
one
Article
of
accord
,
that
shuld
taste
of
basenes
or
dishonour
,
being
so
confident
of
their
present
strength
,
and
the
royall
Second
of
Spaine
,
that
they
should
make
no
doubt
of
yéelding
good
accompt
of
themselues
and
their
Interest
in
this
Kingdome
,
but
that
a
iust
disdaine
,
and
spléene
conceiued
against
the
nation
,
disswaded
them
from
being
further
engaged
for
it
,
then
of
force
they
must
,
Sir
Wil.
Godolphin
being
commaunded
by
the
L.
Deputie
onely
,
to
receiue
Don
Iohns
propositions
and
demamaunds
.
Hauing
made
his
L.
and
Counsel
this
Relation
,
was
by
them
returned
with
the
answere
following
.
That
howbeit
the
Lord
Deputie
hauing
lately
defeated
their
succours
,
didde
so
well
vnderstand
his
owne
strength
and
their
weakenesse
as
made
him
nothing
doubt
of
forcing
them
within
a
short
time
,
whom
he
did
know
to
be
pressed
with
vnresistable
difficulties
,
how
much
soeuer
they
laboured
to
couer
and
conceale
the
same
,
yet
knowing
that
her
sacred
Maiestie
out
of
her
gracious
and
mercifull
disposition
would
esteeme
the
glory
of
her
victory
to
be
blemished
by
a
voluntary
effusion
,
and
an
obstinate
expence
of
Christian
bloud
,
was
content
to
entertaine
this
offer
of
agréement
,
so
as
it
might
be
concluded
,
vnder
such
honorable
articles
for
her
highnes
as
the
aduauntage
she
had
against
them
gaue
reason
to
demaund
:
being
the
same
which
are
sette
downe
in
the
Articles
of
agréement
following
,
signed
by
the
Lord
Deputie
,
and
Don
Iohn
&
others
:
sauing
that
there
was
in
them
besides
,
the
leauing
of
his
treasure
,
munition
,
artillery
,
and
the
Quéenes
naturall
Subiects
to
her
disposicion
,
all
which
points
hée
did
peremptorely
refuse
,
with
constant
asseueracion
that
both
he
and
all
his
would
rather
indure
the
last
of
misery
then
be
found
guilty
of
so
foule
a
Treason
against
the
honour
of
his
Prince
and
the
reputacion
of
his
profession
,
though
hée
should
find
himselfe
vnable
to
subsiste
,
much
more
now
,
when
hée
might
not
onely
hope
to
sustaine
the
burden
of
the
warre
for
a
time
,
but
with
patience
and
constancie
in
the
end
to
ouercome
it
.
That
he
tooke
it
so
ill
,
to
bée
misunderstood
in
hauing
Articles
of
that
nature
propounded
vnto
him
,
as
were
they
but
once
againe
remembred
in
the
Capitulacion
,
the
Viceroy
should
from
thencefoorth
vse
the
aduantage
of
his
sword
and
not
the
benefite
of
his
former
offers
:
adding
,
that
the
Viceroy
might
rather
thinke
to
haue
made
a
good
and
profitable
purchase
for
the
Crowne
of
England
,
if
with
the
expence
of
200000
Duckats
hée
had
procured
Don
Iohn
to
quite
his
interest
and
footing
but
in
Baltymore
alone
,
to
say
nothing
of
Kynsale
,
Castell-hauen
,
and
Beerehauen
:
for
(
said
he
)
suppose
that
all
we
with
the
rest
of
our
places
here
had
perished
,
yet
would
that
Pen
Insula
(
beyng
strong
in
it
owne
nature
,
bettered
by
our
arte
and
industrie
,
prouided
as
it
is
of
victuals
,
munition
,
and
good
store
of
Artillerie
)
preserue
vnto
the
King
of
Spaine
a
safe
and
commodious
port
for
the
arriuall
of
his
Fléete
,
and
be
able
to
mayntaine
it selfe
against
á
land
Armie
of
ten
thousand
,
vntill
Spaine
(
being
so
déepely
engaged
)
did
in
honour
reléeue
them
:
which
would
drawe
on
a
more
powerfull
inuasion
then
the
first
,
being
vndertaken
vpon
false
groundes
,
at
the
instance
of
a
base
and
barbarous
people
,
who
in
discouering
their
weakenes
and
want
of
power
,
haue
armed
the
King
my
Master
to
relie
vpon
his
owne
strength
,
beyng
tied
in
honour
to
reléeue
his
people
that
are
engaged
,
and
to
cancell
the
memory
of
our
former
disaster
.
But
this
was
spoken
(
said
he
)
in
case
the
Viceroy
were
able
to
force
this
town
,
as
I
assure
my selfe
he
cannot
,
hauing
vpon
mine
Honour
within
these
wals
at
this
instant
,
aboue
two
thousand
fighting
men
,
that
are
strong
and
able
,
besides
those
,
which
hauing
béen
sicke
and
hurt
,
recouer
dayly
:
the
greatest
part
of
these
,
composed
of
old
Souldiers
,
which
fall
not
but
by
the
sword
,
and
those
that
were
new
,
beyng
now
both
trayned
to
their
Armes
&
growne
acquainted
with
the
Climate
,
are
more
able
to
endure
then
at
the
firste
:
our
meanes
as
good
as
they
haue
béene
any
times
these
two
monethes
,
such
as
the
Spaniardes
can
well
away
withall
,
and
therof
to
suffize
vs
for
thrée
moneths
more
.
We
lodge
in
good
warme
houses
,
haue
store
of
munition
,
and
(
which
is
best
of
all
)
stand
well
assured
that
our
succours
wil
bée
shortly
here
.
To
bée
playne
,
wée
preserue
our
men
,
and
reserue
our
strength
the
best
wée
may
,
hoping
to
front
you
in
a
breach
,
which
if
our
harts
fayle
vs
not
,
we
haue
hands
and
breasts
enough
to
stop
against
treble
your
forces
:
though
I
will
giue
the
Viceroy
this
right
,
That
his
men
are
passing
good
,
but
spent
and
tyred
out
with
the
misery
of
a
Winter
siege
,
which
he
hath
obstinatly
maintayned
beyond
my
expectacion
,
but
with
such
caution
,
and
vpon
so
good
guard
,
as
hauing
nicely
watched
all
aduauntages
,
I
could
neuer
fasten
a
Sallie
yet
vpon
him
,
but
with
losse
to
my selfe
:
wherein
I
muste
acknowledge
my
hopes
deceaued
,
that
grounding
on
some
errour
in
his
approches
,
promised
my self
the
defeate
of
at
least
a
thousand
men
at
one
blowe
.
But
when
wée
méete
on
the
breach
,
I
am
confident
on
good
reason
,
to
lay
fiue
hundred
of
your
best
men
on
the
earth
,
and
rest
hopeful
that
the
losse
of
those
will
make
a
great
hole
in
an
Armie
that
hath
already
suffred
so
much
extremitie
.
But
to
conclude
our
businesse
,
the
king
my
Master
sent
me
to
assist
the
Condées
,
Oneale
&
Odonnell
,
presuming
on
their
promise
,
that
I
should
haue
ioined
with
them
within
few
daies
of
the
arriuall
of
his
forces
.
I
expected
long
in
vaine
,
sustained
the
Viceroyes
Armie
,
saw
them
drawne
to
the
greatest
head
they
could
possibly
make
,
lodged
within
two
myles
of
Kynsale
,
reenforced
with
certaine
companies
of
Spanyards
,
euery
houre
promising
to
releeue
vs
,
and
beeing
ioyned
together
to
force
your
campes
,
sawe
them
at
last
broken
with
a
handfull
of
men
,
blowne
asunder
into
diuers
parts
of
the
world
,
O
Donnell
into
Spaine
,
Oneale
to
the
furthest
of
the
North
,
so
as
now
I
finde
no
such
Condées
in
rerum
natura
(
for
those
were
the
very
wordes
hee
vsed
)
as
I
came
to
ioyne
withall
,
and
therefore
haue
moued
this
accord
,
the
rather
to
disingage
the
King
my
Maister
from
assisting
a
people
so
vnable
in
themselues
,
that
the
whole
burden
of
the
warre
must
lie
vpon
him
,
and
so
perfidious
,
as
perhaps
might
bee
induced
in
acquitall
of
his
fauour
,
at
last
to
betray
him
.
Vpon
relation
made
by
Sir
William
Godolphin
to
the
Lord
Deputie
and
Councell
,
of
these
offers
of
Don
Iohn
,
which
at
seuerall
conferences
had
beene
brought
to
such
heads
,
as
are
spoken
of
before
:
it
was
thought
good
,
for
diuerse
important
reasons
,
to
procéed
roundly
to
the
agréement
.
For
whereas
in
the
propositions
by
him
made
;
there
was
not
any
thing
that
admitted
exceptions
on
our
part
,
but
onely
,
that
he
required
to
carrie
with
him
his
ordinance
,
munition
,
and
treasure
,
that
beeing
no
way
preiudiciall
to
the
maine
scope
or
drift
of
our
Treatie
,
which
chéefely
respected
the
common
good
and
safetie
of
the
kingdome
,
deserued
not
almost
to
be
thought
vpon
.
Besides
that
,
the
Treasure
béeing
at
the
first
but
a
hundred
thousand
Duckats
,
with
foure
monethes
payment
of
so
many
men
,
and
other
necessarie
deductions
,
could
not
but
bee
very
néere
wasted
;
and
that
little
remaynder
,
more
fit
for
a
prey
to
the
poore
souldiour
,
after
his
tedious
trauell
,
than
for
a
clause
in
the
composition
.
Furthermore
,
how
needfull
it
was
to
embrace
this
accord
,
may
clearely
bee
seene
by
whosoeuer
considereth
the
state
of
our
Armie
,
almost
vtterly
tyred
:
how
full
of
daunger
and
difficultie
it
was
to
attempt
a
breach
defended
by
so
many
hands
:
how
long
time
it
might
haue
cost
vs
,
if
wee
had
lodged
in
the
Breach
,
before
wee
could
haue
carried
the
Towne
,
it
beeing
full
of
strong
castles
:
how
her
Maiesties
ships
and
others
lying
in
the
harbour
,
should
haue
béen
forced
spéedily
to
forsake
vs
for
want
of
victuals
:
how
by
a
long
contrarietie
of
winds
,
our selues
were
not
prouided
for
aboue
sixe
daies
,
at
the
time
of
this
parley
,
though
within
fewe
dayes
after
good
store
arriued
:
it
being
indéed
worthy
of
obseruation
,
that
by
her
Maiesties
great
care
,
&
the
dilligence
of
her
ministers
,
so
good
prouidence
was
vsed
,
as
,
though
this
descent
of
Spanyards
drew
into
that
quarter
all
the
forces
of
the
kingdome
which
could
be
spared
,
all
which
were
onely
to
liue
by
prouision
out
of
England
;
notwithstanding
all
the
difficulties
of
transportation
,
in
so
vnseasonable
a
time
,
no
notorious
wants
were
found
in
the
Armie
,
but
that
which
is
vnseparable
from
a
Winter
siege
,
in
that
Climate
:
that
we
had
neyther
munition
nor
Artillerie
left
but
for
one
batterie
in
one
place
at
once
,
fiue
of
our
péeces
being
before
crazed
:
and
finally
,
that
if
we
had
missed
of
our
purpose
,
the
whole
countrey
had
béen
hazarded
.
Furthermore
,
that
which
seemeth
of
greatest
consequence
to
induce
his
Lordship
to
this
agréement
,
was
:
That
the
Spanyards
in
Baltymore
Castle-hauen
and
Beerehauen
,
by
vertue
of
this
contract
were
likewise
to
surrender
those
places
,
and
depart
the
countrey
,
which
would
haue
prooued
a
matter
of
more
difficultie
,
and
haue
drawne
on
a
long
warre
in
a
corrupted
kingdome
,
to
root
them
out
,
béeing
strongly
fortified
and
well
stored
with
victuals
,
munition
,
and
artillerie
,
for
that
of
necessitie
the
Armie
for
some
space
,
must
haue
rested
,
and
in
the
end
haue
beene
constrained
after
a
new
supplie
of
al
necessaries
,
to
her
Maiesties
intollerable
charge
,
to
transport
themselues
thither
by
sea
,
the
way
by
land
being
altogether
vnpassbale
.
In
which
time
,
their
succours
out
of
Spaine
in
all
likelyhood
,
would
haue
béene
come
vnto
them
,
the
king
being
so
farre
ingaged
in
his
honour
to
second
his
enterprise
,
and
we
barred
of
that
prosecution
of
the
Rebels
,
which
now
by
this
Agréement
we
may
wholly
entend
.
The
Treatie
therefore
was
thus
concluded
,
as
by
the
Articles
ensuing
,
signed
on
both
parts
,
appeareth
.

And
so
is
this
troubled
Cloud
,
of
most
likely
perillous
danger
for
this
time
dissolued
,
to
her
Maiesties
most
singuler
renowme
;
Not
so
much
for
the
glorie
of
the
euent
,
as
for
her
owne
Magnanimitie
and
Princely
resolution
,
to
leaue
nothing
vndone
which
might
preserue
that
Crowne
,
how
deare
so
euer
it
cost
her
;
to
the
great
honour
of
our
Generall
,
Leaders
,
and
Souldiers
by
land
and
Sea
Actors
therein
,
who
,
if
it
be
well
considered
,
that
after
the
Enemies
arriuall
xxviij
.
September
,
it
was
xxvi
.
October
before
they
could
get
all
things
readie
to
sit
downe
nere
the
Towne
:
xxix
.
October
before
their
Ordinance
could
play
,
And
that
by
j.
Nouember
.
they
had
gotten
Ricorren
castle
,
And
then
vij
.
Nouember
were
driuen
shrewdly
to
diminish
their
strength
by
sending
the
L.
President
from
them
with
two
Regiments
of
foote
and
325
horses
against
Odonell
,
That
hee
returned
not
till
xxv
.
Nouember
,
his
Companies
26.
And
then
that
the
Supplyes
of
Spaine
were
landed
.
That
the
most
of
our
shipping
that
did
vs
speciall
seruice
were
gone
towardes
them
,
That
Odonell
was
alreadie
come
,
Tyron
shortly
after
,
and
xx

December
all
in
sight
:
24
beaten
:
That
xxxj
.
December
the
Parley
begunne
,
ij
.
Ianuarie
the
Articles
were
sworne
:
ix
.
the
Towne
yéelded
.
These
thinges
(
I
say
)
considered
,
it
cannot
bée
thought
they
spent
any
idle
time
,
as
by
the
Iournals
also
which
I
sent
you
heretofore
doth
particulerly
appeare
.
Nay
,
let
it
bée
duely
considered
indéed
,
that
the
Towne
though
not
regulerly
fortified
after
the
moderne
sort
,
yet
was
of
strong
scituation
,
well
walled
,
and
rampierd
of
the
old
fashion
,
and
apt
to
receiue
fit
fortification
,
which
the
Enemie
by
his
skill
and
leasure
had
giuen
it
,
both
within
the
Towne
and
without
,
as
being
accounted
of
great
knowledge
in
fortification
,
and
hauing
béene
a
Moneth
in
it
before
our
men
could
come
néere
much
to
molest
him
.
And
it
may
rather
bee
maruailed
,
the
such
an
Enemie
with
such
a
Companie
,
so
prouided
,
not
béeing
constrained
by
sickenesse
,
famine
,
or
other
defect
of
prouision
,
and
expecting
shortly
(
as
himselfe
tearmeth
it
)
a
Royall
supplie
from
Spaine
,
should
so
soone
yéeld
vp
,
not
only
it
,
but
the
other
Castles
,
&
that
of
Baltymore
especially
so
important
,
so
strong
,
so
fournished
to
hould
so
long
out
,
as
by
his
owne
acknowledgement
appeareth
before
.
Well
,
going
they
are
with
the
loane
of
ordinarie
vessels
which
they
also
pay
for
:
for
whome
yea
and
almost
for
any
enemie
of
lesse
qualitie
than
these
,
all
auncient
estate
wisedome
would
haue
aduised
to
haue
made
and
giuen
them
a
goulden
bridge
to
passe
ouer
,
rather
than
they
should
haue
stayed
longer
vppon
any
Condition
,
much
lesse
vpon
doubtfull
hope
of
a
small
contemptible
pillage
to
haue
béene
gotten
of
them
,
which
must
néedes
also
haue
béene
bought
with
much
blood
,
and
with
what
further
Charge
and
hazard
to
the
mayne
,
God
knoweth
.
And
howsoeuer
any
perticuler
humour
may
take
it
,
I
thinke
Don
Iohn
(
all
Circumstances
considered
)
did
aduisedly
for
his
King
to
leaue
it
:
And
for
our
part
I
take
it
a
Seruice
to
haue
béene
most
honourably
perfourmed
,
with
singuler
euident
profite
,
and
all
probabilitie
of
certaine
future
securitie
to
our
Prince
and
Countrey
,
and
that
otherwise
it
cannot
bée
conceaued
off
,
of
any
that
will
indifferently
iudge
.
The
proofe
whereof
by
the
fruite
beginneth
here
presently
to
appeare
,
by
the
diminishing
of
her
Maiesties
Charge
,
daunting
of
the
Rebels
,
quiet
,
comfort
,
and
encouragement
of
the
good
,
and
before
dismayed
Subiect
,
and
will
(
I
doubt
not
)
but
be
generally
felt
with
you
there
,
by
sparing
your
men
and
monneys
,
and
putting
you
out
of
feare
hereafter
,
of
your
and
our
,
and
all
Englands
potent
Enemie
for
his
further
attempting
this
way
.
And
this
for
this
of
the
late
victorie
and
yéelding
of
the
Towne
,
which
is
my
purposed
taske
vnto
you
at
this
time
.
As
for
that
which
was
done
from
the
first
landing
of
the
Spaniards
till
the
fight
,
I
referre
you
to
the
Iournals
sent
you
before
.
And
for
the
generall
course
of
the
noble
Lord
Deputies
whole
procéedinges
in
this
Land
,
since
his
first
arriuall
héere
,
I
leaue
it
to
others
to
bee
treated
of
more
at
large
hereafter
,
onely
this
I
will
now
say
in
generall
,
let
it
bée
but
without
humour
iudicially
considered
,
in
what
estate
he
found
this
Land
,
and
to
what
hée
hath
now
brought
it
,
and
there
is
none
so
vnindifferently
affected
,
but
must
bee
forced
to
confesse
,
Quantum
mutatus
ab
illo
!
And
héere
I
end
my
obiect
of
the
fight
,
and
yéelding
of
the
Towne
,
and
whole
quiting
of
all
the
Inuadors
,
with
Salmacida
Spolia
,
an
vnbloudie
victorie
of
our
part
,
most
befitting
a
Virgin
Quéene
,
and
a
Bacheler
Generall
.
And
so
doe
betake
you
to
the
Almightie
.
At
Corcke
