Strange to be related credible to be beleeued and pleasant to bee perused By Barnabe Rych Gent. Seruant to the Kinges most excellent Maiestie Malui me diuitem esse quam vocari LONDON Printed for Thomas Adams 1612. TO THE HYGH AND MIGHTY PRINCE HENRIE THE Most Royall Heyre apparant to the vnited Kingdomes of great BRITTAYNE FRANCE and IRELANDE c. MOst worthy and renowned PRINCE I am in hope it shall seeme no presumption to offer this my vnlettered dilligence to the sight and view of your Highnesse the cause especially belonging to the setting forth of Gods glory and after a certaine maner doth very nearely concerne the seruice of your royall Father of whose Christian inclination to plant piety and to releeue innocency the world hath had long experience To none more rather thē to your Highnesse therefore belongeth these mine endeuours whom nature and rare vertues with liberall minde hath adorned with singular indowments and education againe furnished with knowledge and exquisite learning belonging to a Prince May it now please your Grace my selfe hauing heere according to my little skill stood in defence of our religiō against the eager assaults of peruerse and malicious papistes Although I must confesse with more breuity then the amplenesse of the matter or the necessity of the cause required I am therefore most humbly to craue pardon of your Highnesse for passing of those bounds that custome prescribeth in that case yet if there were no further cause to presse your Highnesse for the Patronage of so good a purpose this might suffice It is meant for the glory of God but besides this inducement there is yet one other especiall inforcement to leade me to this on-set namely when in that infortunate Country of Irelande the Popes Vermine your royall Fathers mortall enemies haue such scope and liberty that they drawe the people after them to runne headlong into that extreame perdition both of body and soule and into that horrible downefall of disobedience both to God and their Prince Nowe where their resteth so much presumption in Priestes to Impugne the sworde of gouerment there must be courage in Princes to defend their owne I will wade no deeper but in all humble and submissiue maner will leaue these lines to your Gratious vewe And thus layinge my handes vnder your Highnes feete will rest Your Graces Souldier euer more deuoted to doe your Highnes seruice BARNABE RICH A CATHOLYCKE CONFERENCE BETWEENE SYR TADY MAC. MAREALL A Popish Priest of VVaterforde And Patricke Playne a young student of Trinitie Colledge by Dublyne in Irelande Tady I Am glad Patricke wee haue slipped the rest of our company we may now conferre betweene our selues and no man to molest vs. Patricke I thanke God Sir Tady I haue nothing to say that I care who doth heare and therefore in companie or out of companie all is one to me Ta. And I am indifferent too for that but beecause you asked mee whether I had forsaken my spirituall function or nay what was your meaning in that demand Pa. Nothing but this ruffling sute of apparel that I see on your backe with your gylt Rapier and Dagger hanging by your side methinkes it is more gentleman-like then priest-like and this makes me to thinke you haue giuen vp your order and that you are become the same in profession that you make shew to be by your attyre Ta. Alas Patricke necessitie hath no lawe it is not my cause alone that is driuen to this distresse there bee many hundreds in Ireland besides my selfe that are glad to disguise themseues from the rygour of those lawes that haue beene lately contryued and pronounced against vs Pa. I doe not know what lawes they be that you doe terme to be so rigorous I heare of no lawes that doe exact any blouddy executions or any other tragical tyranies as burning massacring murthering torturing or any other such vnchristian-like cruelties Ta. Do you not heare of the Proclamation now lately published through the whole Realme of Ireland that is set foorth against Catholickes either to enforce them against their consciences or to hazard themselues into vnknowne danger Pa. If your cause of complaint proceeded but from that I see you can exclaime vppon light occasion and coulde you but call to remembrance the persecutions the tortures and torments that from time to time hath bin prosecuted by poplings against the true professors of the Gospell and that you were but handeled as you handeled them you had then cause indeede to complaine for somewhat Ta. And do you thinke our causes to be so light when we shall be compelled against our consciences Pa. And when your Pope takes vppon him to depose Kings to interdict Realmes to authorize rebellion to dispence with subiectes for their obedience to their soueraigne doe you not thinke it high time for Princes to looke about them Ta. And I thinke as high time for vs to looke to our selues but Catholickes I can tell you are neyther children nor fooles they will not be easely dasht out with a Proclamation Pa. Belike they doe thinke to dash out the Proclamation in this disguised sorte to keepe themselues vnknowne Ta. You need not doubt but that wee meane to shift for our selues and not to runne into wilfull danger so long as wee may preuent it Pa. But doe you thinke that this disguising of your selues will serue your turne to preuent it Ta. It hath serued our turne for fourtie yeares together why should it not doe so still Pa. Because these matters wil be more narrowly looked vnto and if you remember your selfe well there is an edict in the proclamation that euery Iustice of assise shal giue it in charge to the Iury that must both make inquiry and present it Ta. But from whence will you fetch your Iurates that will present against Catholickes you may well fetch them from Geneus but they will be very hardly found in Ireland Pa. Why doe your Iurates of Ireland make so litle account of an oath that they will forsweare themselues Ta What account should they make of an oath that is taken to the preiudice of one Catholick to another when they haue so many dispensations in a readinesse and doe know where they may be absolued for more oathes in one houre then they be able to sweare in seuen yeares Pa. If dispensations be so ready as you speake of how comes it to passe that in euery corporate towne in Ireland the Mayor and Sheryues hadde sometimes rather to goe to pryson then to take the oath of obedience to the King Ta. the Mayor and Sheryues of euery
