that hee had taken strict courses in his gouernment as requiring the Oath of obedience appointing Officers to looke into mens Patents Warrants giuen in the late Parliament to preferre Bills for making the like Lawes as were in England against Recusants Causing a Bill to be preferred in the first Session for the suspension of Poynings Act to the hazard of stirring vp a commotion Vrging that these courses did decline the people from peace to vnquietnesse Such force had slander got by malicious Enuie as to make a Bee a Spider and to worke that honey without of the flowers of his iudgement and sincerity he had painfully gathered to a corrupt poyson as by the wofull effect it in after time too manifestly appeared This information was giuen against him by such as hee had left in trust for State causes in his absence especially by the Chancellor the Archbishop of Dublin a man of great wisedome and experience and such a one as for his parts might well merit the estimation of an extraordinary States-man and Councellor and it was pitty these good things should be the cause of euill effects for betweene him and the Deputy were discontentments grounded vpon directions giuen by the Deputy in The Deputy and Chancellour differ about the erecting of the Vniuersity the last Parliament for conuersion of the liuing of Saint Patricks in Dublin to the maintenance of a Colledge and Vniuersity there to be erected first intended by King Edward the sixt and now at this time giuen in charge to this Deputy by the Queene which hee accordingly purposed to prosecute as a certaine foundation of the reformation of that Kingdome which howsoeuer the Chancellour could not but in his iudgement know and allowe of yet in respect some of his kindred friends and Allies were interrested in these possessions hee gaue great opposition therevnto pretending the cause to be in right of the Church whereof he vndertooke to be the Patron Likewise as it seemed hee tooke to heart the peremptory proceeding of the Deputy as well in other matters of State as in this finding himselfe slighted of that regard some precedent Gouernours had yeelded him for he being a Prelate great in place and made greater by the Offices hee had lately borne now finding that this mans prosperous beginning caried perchance with a more absolute Authority then others had vsually exercised if it were not crossed would breede a diminution of his power in that State by his wisedome already highly planted preferring his particular too tenderly which to preserue The Chancellour raiseth a faction against the Deputy hee fell into contention with the Deputie and raised a faction against him of some of the Counsaile as Sir Henry Bagnall who had married his sister to his eldest sonne and others so that from hence sprung not onely priuate informations but publique crosings at the Councell Table euen in things which if they had beene peaceably handled might haue much aduanced her Maiesties Seruice and the good of that Kingdome Such is the State of Ambition is it neuer sees any way but by the staires of its owne climing The Deputy makes answere to these obiections against his late Northerne iourney and the other things already mentioned especially for the conuersion of Saint Patrickes Liuing therein indeede lying the most assured roote of reformation Neuerthelesse the Lord Chancellour taking vpon him as is saide to bee the onely Patron of the Church affaires and knowing his power with the Lord Treasurer of England in the ballance of whose wisedome most State causes especially concerning England and Ireland were at that time cast laboureth by all meanes to hinder the Deputies proceeding as well by his Letters which heretofore had beene preualent as by his Agents who watched the best opportunity and tooke the right way of preuailing in Court which the Deputy not suspecting or at least not fearing trusting to the waight of his owne zeale The Chancellor in England preuaileth could not preuent whereby at length the Chancellour so farre preuailed in that one point as Letters were written from the Queen and Councell to make stay of the conuersion of those Liuings withall aduertisement is giuen by the Queene to them both that shee had taken notice of their contentions with admonition to for beare such crossing as must needes giue impediment to the publique seruice The Queene reproueth the Chancellour by her letters And by her owne particular Letter to the Chancellour in expresse manner shee commanded a reformation wherein was to be obsorued how carefull shee was of the common good though the interest of the Chancellours friends in her fauour wrought deepely to the aduancement of his particular But this her gracious admonition was not well followed oney ther side for the Deputy being by nature cholletick and not able to endure the affronts of an Inferiour especially discerning that the Chancellours particular ends had gained respect aboue his publique which to a good Patriots patience was no small mouer could not containe himselfe vpon the prouoking words of his wily Aduersary who omitted no meanes or occasion that might enforce his intemperance and so distemperd hee so The Deputy through choller exceeded himselfe exceeded himselfe as he spared not the greatest by whom he thought himselfe wronged which fault of his is iudiciously obserued by Sir Walter Raleigh to haue beene the greatest cause of his ouerthrowe priuate misrespect oftentimes swaying in a Princes heart more then publique miscarriage So the one not brooking an equall and the other e●●ying a Superiour the bonds of charity patience and policy were by both broken Vpon the Chancellours side the then Secretary a Moath in all the Deputies garments The Secretaries double dealing with the Deputy of his time was factious who vpon the beginning of the Parliament hold in Ireland was imployed into England to negotiate in the affaires thereof which at the first hee seemed well to attend and desirous that the successe of that Parliament might breede the common good but at length either by the euill of me owne disposition or wrought by the Deputies Aduersaries in Court or the Chancellours instigation hee became from a priuate Practizer a publique and professed Aduersary for whereas by his Letter of the ●1 Iuly 〈…〉 signified her Maiesties good allowance of the Deputies seruice in these words That hee had procured generall peace and had gayned the peoples hearts vnto their Prince but on the ninth of September following hee wrote of the alteration of the Queenes good opinion in some of his Seruices which being likewise manifested by some other such his sharpe intelligence and some circumstances especially her Maiesties owne Letters concurring which hee brought ouer the Deputy was confirmed in his opinion of the Secretaries factions and false informing courses against him Vpon receipt of which Letters being partly admonitory and partly reprehensiue although the Queene was pleased to signifie therein that shee was well perswaded of his care and
