Whereby the indifferent Reader may perceiue with what prepared hatred and prepensed malice this Gallant was affected even in this first scene of his devillish Tragedie that there might bee no indecorum his subsequent proceedings were in all poynts correspondent to these timely beginnings For having now left Corke and gotten footing in his supposed Countrey of Desmond hee wrote severall Letters to the Gentlemen neere adjoyning namely the O Sulevan Mac Finnin the two Odonoghs and others to assemble at a time and place appoynted to create him Mac Cartie More and whosoever he was that refused to come he persecuted as his mortall enemie and hereof Owen Osulexan eldest sonne to Sir Owen Osulevan deceased had wofull experience for upon his absence from his meeting hee caused the Bonoghs which hee had now entertained to prey and rob the said Owen and some of his Tenants taking one Iohn Oge prisoner and when the sayd Owen made suite unto him for release of the prisoner hee answered that hee would keepe him as his Pledge to be true to him as Mac Cartie More to follow his war and keepe his peace But when hee found that this course would not establish and secure unto him that Dignitie and high Title after which hee so greedily gaped then hee solicited Tyrone by frequent Letters and importunate Messengers to come for Mounster pretending many furtherances that thereby should arise to the Catholique cause but desiring the same chiefly to his owne end that hee might bee by him and the Romish Clergie saluted Mac Cartie More and therefore Tirone comming into the Province about the first day of March Florence posted with all speed to his Campe and the fourth of the same hee combined with him and was sworne upon a Masse Booke to bee true to Tirone and prosecute all hostilitie and cruell warre against the English Ex examinatione Owen Osulevan And to the intent it may appeare that this was no fained or counterfeit Narration of Owen Osulevan you shall in part perceiue by his owne Letters written to Donogh Moyle Mac Cartie upon this occasion This Donogh whether growne weary of the warrs or for some other cause I know not determined to continue himselfe and his followers in subjection and for the same cause had submitted himselfe to Sir Warham St ledger and Sir Henry Power Commissioners appointed for the government of that Province untill the comming of Sir George Carew to be President Florence Mac Cartie either to advance the Catholike cause or else desirous that all his neighbours should run with him to the like excesse of ryot joyning with Owen Mac Eggan a Popish Priest and most infamous rebell and Odonevan sent Letters to the said Donogh Mac Cartie as followeth The Letter COusen Donogh wee haue us commended to your selfe and to your brother Florence I haue I assure you taken the paines to come hither to Tyrone not so much for any danger of my owne as to sau● the Countrey of Carbery from danger and destruction which if it bee once destroyed your living in my opinion will growe very scarce These two Gentlemen your Brother Odonevan and Owen Mac Eggan are verie carefull with mee of your good Therefore if ever you will bee ruled by us or tender the wealth of your selfe and your Countrey wee are heereby earnestly to request you to come and meete us to morrowe at Clo●dghe and so requesting you not to fayle heereof in any wise to Gods keeping I commit you Oneales Campe at Iniscare Martij 2. 1599. subscribed Your very loving Friends Florence Mac Cartie Owen Mac Eggan Donnell Odonevan Tyrone finding that Florence was not onely forward in his owne person but also a fartherer of others making new Proselites the children of perdition aswell as himselfe by the consent of all the Popish Bishops Fryers and Iesuits and all the Irish Nobilitie there assembled created him Mac Cartie More vsing in this creation all the Rites and Ceremonies accustomed amongst the ancient Irish. Tyrone having left the Province in the latter end of March this new Mac Cartie More did so well remember his vowes made to Tyrone although hee quite forgot those that hee formerly made to her Majestie as in the very next Moneth namely in Aprill 1600. he vsed all his policie power and industrie to defeate the Queenes forces under the command of Captaine Flower but because I have formerly touched his proceedings therein I will not trouble the Reader againe with vaine tautologies and needlesse repetitions In the Moneth of May immediatly following by the importunate mediation of the Earle of Thomond and Iohn fits Edmonds hee came to the President at Corke but he had no sooner left the Towne but hee sent present word to the Arch-rebell Iames fits Thomas aswell of his particular proceedings with the President as of all such intelligence as hee could possible understand to giue impediment to the service all which may appeare by a Letter remised from the said Iames unto him the true Copie whereof here ensueth Iames fits Thomas his Letter unto him MY good Lord and Cosen your Letters of the eighteenth of May I received the fiue and twentieth of the same wherein you relate the manner of your proceedings with the President at Corke and also of his determination towards the West of my Countrey I thanke God I prevented that which hee expected here for all the good pledges of the Countrey are committed to Castlemange for their constant behaviour in this our action the President with his force is come to Limerick and intended presently to draw towards Askeiton where I purpose with my Armie to resist him I pray you the better to further the service and the more to coole the bloody desire of our Enemy let mee intreate you to put in effect the meaning of my last Letters by drawing your forces to joyne with mee here which being done I doubt not under God to performe service that shall redound to the generall quiet of our Countrey and so referring the due consideration hereof to your Lordships carefull vsage I commit you to the most Mighty From the Campe at Adare this first of Iune 1600.

President would bee able to make his peace with the Lord Deputie but so slow and negligent was the Presidents Messenger which afterwards was excused by sicknesse as the Lord Deputie had received Sir Francis Barklies refusall before hee had knowledge of the Presidents Letters whereupon hee stormed at the President and dispatched presently his Letters to the Lords of the Councell complayning of the President not sparing to tell them that rather then hee would undergoe so great an indignity by any man that served underneath him hee would quit his government And at the same time it fell out so crossely that another accident did no lesse moue the Deputie to bee enraged then the former for of the two thousand supplyes which were to come into Mounster the President to giue contentment to many worthy men that without charge had followed him in the former services had obtayned from the Lords in England that sixe hundred of them should bee bestowed upon such as he should make choice of to bee their Captaines this added to that aforementioned did so much increase his Lordships indignation to the President whereunto many ill disposed to increase the flame gaue fuell as his Lordship wrote this ensuing Letter to the President The Lord Deputies Letter to the Lord President MY Lord as I haue hitherto borne you as much affection and as truely as ever I did professe it unto you and I protest rejoyced in all your good successes as mine owne so must you giue mee leaue since I presume I haue so just cause to challenge you of unkindnesse and wrong in writing into England that in preferring your Followers Sir Henry Dockwray hath had more power from me then your selfe and consequently to sollicit the Queene to haue the nomination of some Captaines in this kingdome for the first I could haue wished you would haue beene better advised because upon mine honour hee never without my speciall warrant did ap●oint but one who I after displaced and I doe not remember that ever since our comming over I haue denyed any thing which you haue recommended unto me with the marke of your owne desire to obtaine it and in your Province I haue not given any place as I thinke but at your instance For the other I thinke it is the first example that ever any under an other Generall desired or obtained the like sui●e And although I will not speake injuriously of your deserts nor immodestly of mine owne yet this disgrace cannot make me beleeue that I haue deserved worse then any that haue beene Generals before me But since it is the Queenes pleasure I must endure it and you choose a fit time to obtaine that or anything else against me Yet I will concurre with you in the service as long as it shall please her Majestie to employ us here but afterward I doubt not but to giue you satisfaction that I am not worthy of this wrong The Councell and my selfe upon occasion of extraordinary consequence sent for some of the Companies of Mounster out of Connaght when wee heard you were to be supplyed with two thousand out of England but wee received from them a flat deniall to come and the copie of your Letter to warrant them therein If you haue any authority from the Queene to countermand mine you may very well justifie it but it is more then you haue vowed to me to haue when I before my comming over protested unto you that if you had I would rather serue the Queene in prison then here My Lord these are great disgraces to me and so conceived and I thinke justly by all that know it which is and will be very shortly all Ireland My allegeance and owne honour are now engaged with all my burthens to goe on in this worke otherwayes no feare should make mee suffer thus much and what I doe it is onely loue doth moue me unto it For I know you are deare to one whom I am bound to respect with extraordinary affection And so my Lord I wish you well and will omit nothing while I am in this kingdome to giue you the best contentment I can and continue as Your assured Friend Mountioye In this meane time before these stormes came to the Presidents knowledge for yet hee had not received the Lord Deputies sharpe Letter hoping that the time of the Spaniards comming would admit Sir Francis his Regiment some longer absence sent him word to march to Ballishenan or elsewhere as it pleased the Deputie and withall by his Letters he acquainted his Lordship of his directions and beseeched his Lordship to haue a care of Mounster which hee was no way able his places of Garison guarded with his small forces remayning to confront Terrill and the Vlster aides then ready to enter into it much lesse to defend the Cities of Corke Limerick and Water●ord against the Spaniards whose arrival hee daily expected After this second dispatch to the Lord Deputie the President received his Lordships thundering Letters but when the Lord Deputie by his answer saw how much hee was mistaken and had well considered upon what good ground the Presidents instructions were given to Sir Francis Barkley and also that he had retrenched the same before hee knew that his Lordship had sent for them And that although hee had gotten the favour to bestow sixe of the Companies that came out of England hee knew that they could stand no longer then hee pleased and so left them to be disposed of at his will he not onely blamed himselfe but wrote a satisfactory kindly unto him which to shew the good nature of that Noble-man I thinke I should doe him wrong if I did not relate it A satisfactory Letter from the Lord Deputie to the Lord President MY Lord if my Letter did expresse some more then ordinary passion I will now desire you if you haue any opinion of my judgement or honesty to beleeue mee that at that time I had so much reason to bee so moved as I presume when I next speake with you I shall induce you to confesse that my expostulation did neither proceed from undervaluing you or overvaluing my selfe private respect to my owne ends vanity in desire of preheminences nor lightnesse or evill nature in quitting slightly so worthy a friend and if I can farther perswade you by the effect it tooke with me I protest the miserable tragedie of those I held here my dearest friends the unkindnesse I tooke by their shewing themselues my most mortall enemies the danger that I knew they brought my fortune into nor any thing which hath beene much that hath hapned to me since my comming into this kingdome did ever so much moue me as this and the circumstances that did accompany it the which being unfit to be trusted either to paper or at the least to this passage I will reserue for my owne defence till I speake with you or may send a more safe and assured Messenger unto you and so leaue my case
