verosity of your own spirit nothing can make unto you a more gainfull return For you shall make the Queens selicity compleat which now as it is is incomparable And for your self you shall make your self as good a Patient as you are thought politique And to have no lesse generous ends then dexterrous delivery of your self towards your ends and aswell to have true Arts and Grounds of Government as the facility and felicity of Practise and Negotiation and to be aswell seen in the periods and tydes of estates as in your own circle and way then the which I suppose nothing can be a better addition and accumulation of honour unto you This I hope I may in privatnesse write either as a Kinsman that may be bold or as a Scholar that hath liberty of discourse without commiting any absurdity if not I pray your honour to believe I ever loved her Majesty and the State and now love our self And there is never any vehement love without some absurdity as the Spaniard well saith Desuario con la calentura So desiring your Honours pardon I ever continue Considerations touching the Queens service in Ireland THe reduction of the Country as well to civility and justice as to obedience and peace which thing as the affairs now stand I hold to be inseparable consisteth of four points 1. The extinguishing of the Reliques of War 2. The recovery of the hearts of the People 3. The removing of the rootes and occasions of new troubles 4 Plantations and Buildings For the first concerning the places times and perticularities of further prosecution in Fact I leave it to the opinion of men of War onely the difficulty is to distinguish and discern the prepositions which shall bee according to the ends of the state here that is small and summary towards the extirpation of the troubles from these which though they pretend the publique end yet may refer indeed to the more private and compendious ends of the Councell there or other perticuler Governours or Captaines but still as I touch in my Letter I do think much letting Blood in declinatione morbi is against Method of Cure and that it will but exasperate necessity and dispair and percase discover the hollowness of that which is done already which now blazeth to the best shew For Taglaes and proscriptions of two or three principall Rebells they are no doubt Iure jentium lawfull in Italie usually practised upon the Bandelty best in season when a side goeth down and may do good into kinds the one if they take effect the other in the distrust which followeth amongst the Rebels themselves but of all other points to my understanding the most effectuall is the expressing or impressing of the designe of this state upon that miserable desolate Kingdom Containing the same betweene these two Lists or Boundaries the one that the Queen seeketh not an extirpation of the people but reduction that now she hath established them by her royall power arms according to the necessity of the occasion her Majestie taketh no pleasure in the effusion of Blood or displanting of ancient generations the other that her Majesties princely care is principally and intentionably bent upon that action of Ireland that she seeketh not so much the ease of charge as the royall performance of her office of protection and reclaim of these her subjects in a word that the case is altered as far as may stand with the honour of the time past which it is easie to reconcile as in my last note I shewed again I do repeat that if her Majesties designs be to reduce wild barborous people to civility justice as well as to rebells to obedience it maketh weakness true christianity conditions turn graces so hath a fineness in turning civility upon point of honour which is agreable to the honour of these time And besides if her Majesty shall sodainly abate the Lists of her forces and shall do nothing to Countervaile it in point of reputation of a publique proceeding I doubt things may too soon fall back into the state they were in Next to this adding reputation to the cause by imprinting an opinion of her Majesties care and intention upon this action is the taking away of reputation from the contrary side by cutting off the opinion and expectation of forraign Succours to which purpose this enterprise of Algiers if it hold according to the advertisement And if it be not wrapped up in the period of this Sommer seemeth to be an opportunity Caelitus Demissa And to the same purpose nothing can be more fit then a treaty or shadow of a treaty of a peace with Spain which me thinks should be in our power at least Rumore tenus to the deluding of as wise people as the Irish Lastly for this point that the Ancients called Potestas factum rediundi ad Sanctatem And which is but a mockery when the enemy is strong or proud but effectual in his declination that is a Liberall proclamation of grace and pardon to such as shall submit and come within a time prefixed of of some further reward to such as shall bring others in That our sword may be sharpned against others is a matter of good experience and now I thinke will come in time And percase though I wish the exclusions of such a pardon exceeding few yet it will not be safe to continue some of them in their strengths But to translate them and their generation into England and give them recompence and satisfaction here for their possessions there As the King of Spaine did by divers families of Portugall to the effecting of all the points aforesaid And likewise these which fall within the divisions following nothing can be in priority either of time or matter precedent to the sending of some Commission of the continuance Ad res inspiciendas et componendas for it must be a very significant demonstration of her Majesties care of that Kingdome A credence to any that shall come in and submit a Bridell to any that have their fortunes there and shall applie their proposition● to private ends and an evidence that her Majesties politique Course is without neglect or respiration and it hath beene the wisdomes of the best examples of government towards the recovery of the hearts of the people There be but three things in Natura rerum Religion Iustice and protection Obligation and reward For Religion to speak first of piety and then of policy All Divines do agree that if Conscience be to be enforced at all where they differ yet two things must proceed out of their inforcement the one means of justification and the other of opperation Neither of which they have yet had Besides till they be more like reasonable men then they yet are their society were rather scandalous to true Religion then otherwise as Pearles cast before Swine For till they be cleansed from their Blood Incontinency and theft
