conquest and ruine whereof was the maine marke whereat they aimed It was generally expected that upon the first landing of the Spaniards that the greatest part of Mounster would haue presently relapsed and haue declared themselues Spanish but the President had so well established the Province by the apprehending of all the Principals which hee mistrusted and by taking good pledges of the rest that when the Lord Deputy came to Corke hee presented unto him all the men of living and quality in the Province who stood firme untill the comming of supplyes to Castlehaven as hereafter you shall heare The eight and twentieth the Lord President brought the master of a Scottish barke to the Lord Deputy which came from Lisbon who confidently reported that the Spaniards when they were embarqued for Ireland were sixe thousand strong And the same day we heard that none of the Irish had repaired to Kinsale to tender their service to the Spaniards but onely some dependants of Florence Mac Carties and that Don Iohn and his Captaines were much grieved that Florence was sent prisoner into England of whose restraint they understood nothing untill they were arrived And also wee were advertised that at Kinsale fiue and thirtie ships arrived with Don Iohn and that the rest of his fleete were driven into Baltimore having in them seven hundred Souldiers and that they brought with them sixteene hundred Saddles hoping as they were promised to find horses in Ireland and a great surplus of Armes to furnish the Irish and the Companies with Don Iohn for most part were old Souldiers taken from the garisons of Italy and the Terceras and that there was but a few Besognies among them The same day Captaine George Flower Sergeant Major of the Province of Mounster was sent with certaine Companies to view the Towne of Kinsale to see what countenance the Enemy did hold hee no sooner approached the Towne but the Spaniards sallied our men beate them into the Towne and were so eager in pursuit as they came to the Port and would haue set fire unto it if Flower had not drawen them off in this skirmish wee had some men hurt and the Enemy both slaine and hurt Also the same day certaine Companies were directed to march into Kinaley to burne and spoyle all the corne in that Countrey and within fiue miles of Kinsale and to command all the Inhabitants in those parts to bring their Cattle on this side the river of Awneboy and Corke whereby the Enemy should want reliefe neere unto them To hasten the comming of Tyrone and Odonnell the Spanish Archbishop of Dublin and Don Iuan de Aquila wrote unto them as followeth A Letter from the Archbishop of Dublin and Don Iuan de Aquila unto Tyrone and Odonnell PErvenimus in Kinsale cum classe exercitu Regis nostri Philippi expectamus vestras excellentias qualibet hora veniant ergo quàm velociter potuerint portantes equos quibus maximè indigemus jam alia via scripsimus non dico plura valete Frater Matheus Archiepiscopus Dublinens A Qui estamos guardando a vuestras Senorias illustrissimas Como largamente otra via hemos escritos A Dios. 12.

returned hee sent into Spaine a relation of his present estate which is as followeth translated out of the Originall under his owne hand A Discourse of the estate wherein Don Iuan de Aquila doth remaine with the appointment of such things as hee advertiseth to be needfull or his succour and good effect of his voyage translated out of a Spanish discourse ON the first of October hee arrived at the Haven of Kinsale and the day following Don Iuan landed all his Souldiers whereof framing two squadrons hee marched towards the said Towne out of which there issued fiftie Foote and fourtie Horse who leaving the place free went towards the Towne of Corke the persons of better sort going with them with all their goods whereupon there were presently sent in two Companies and the day following entered all the rest of the Armie and lodged there to the end to shelter the Troopes and munitions under covert although with great straightnesse the place contayning not aboue two hundred houses The seat and foundation of Kinsale is in a side of a River invironed with hils aud without any kind of defense in so much as Don Iuan is of the mind if the Enemy should come to quarter himselfe neere his front to try his fortune because otherwise hee should not bee able to make good the place There were disembarqued two Field-Peeces and two Demie-Cannons leaving the rest of the Artillerie unlanded not having Munition sufficient for so much Artillery for that the Powder and Match which remaines is little and the greater quantitie came wett as well as not to bee encombred with so much Artillerie without Horses to draw it since that with the next succors may be sent Munition enough There is in the middle of the Haven of Quinsale a certaine almost an Iland on the which it seemeth good to Don Iuan to haue a Fort made to secure and defend the Haven yet is there no convenient place to doe it for on the part that lookes towards the place an Arme of the Sea divides it from the land continued somewhat upwards into the land without having Pinnaces Boats or other meanes to crosse it and for that the Towne Quinsale is of so great a Seat and open in so many parts and so weake that it is needfull to haue halfe the Troupes in guard at least whensoever they should bee forced to draw out to some good effect which notwithstanding would not bee in good securitie the place almost an Iland not having sufficient water nor is there any place of those adjacent that yeeldeth meanes to fortifie it so that it is necessary to goe elsewhere for it having here nothing to make Cisterns nor Pinnases for a passage or to bring bavins and faggots the River being somewhat farther upwards into the land Hee sent to tell Don Diego Brochero that because the way remayned so ill hee should assist him before hee went in causing to be disimbarqued the Bisquet and afterwards that all the boats should make three or foure voyages for bavins or gabions whereof hee had great need the River as is aforesaid being somewhat farre aboue hee answered that hee could not attend to this or disimbarque the Biskets which came in the hulke which were there but to returne presently and so with great haste caused the munitions to bee landed which they left upon the shore without account or reason the Accounter and Steward of the Artillery remayning which would not undertake to account for it and such was the haste that on the durt and Ooes of the shore they were ill handled and wet as if the Enemy had beene already playing with their Artillery on their ships So soone as Don Iuan had lodged himselfe in the place hee dispatched to the Earles severall times advising them of his arrivall yet in nine dayes that passed untill I was dispatched into Spaine they received no answer There is from Kinsale to the place where the Earles abide seventie fiue Leagues the naturals of the Countrey report the forces of the Earles to bee much lesse then was given out to us and that the Enemy doth hold them in with forts The enemies haue drawen together all their Cattell and Corne and with their Cavallerie breake the Mils and because wee haue no Horse they presume to come every day up to our Wals not being able to avoid or hinder it notwithstanding our sallies against them insomuch that from without wee receiue neither flesh nor any other thing except some few Cowes from the poore people of the place which they sell the rather unto us because wee pay them what they demand yet within few dayes there would bee no flesh had by reason of the English who haue engrossed and gathered the Crets together and burned the houses of the naturals Don Iuan doth procure to draw from the Countrey people by loue and rewards all that he can yet withall this findeth no assistance from them neither dare they declare themselues and the greater part haue no will seeing the small forces which haue beene landed but seeing that there are more they will bee still comming and some of them receiue pay it is very re quisit to pay them and arme them because till now many of them are past to the Enemy Since the writing of this by Don Iuan de Aquila there came a spy from Corke where the Enemy doth joyne together who saith that the Viceroy had already together more then foure thousand Foote and foure or fiue hundred Horse and that the Queene of England had received advertisement of the comming of the Spaniards into Ireland whereupon were great preparations made for the expulsing them the Souldiers which were disimbarqued marched to the number of three thousand and foure hundred besides those which came in a hulke now arrived three Leagues from hence but making a squadron of them there was a lesse number found so that it is thought fit to take the first muster with much rigour taking note of the boyes and such besides of the rest as are Besognies who not knowing the use of their Peece nor how to discharge them are drawen out to exercise their Armes dayly many fall sicke and are already more then one hundred It is fit that the succour which his Majesty meaneth to send should bee dispatched with speed because the Enemy may not haue power to engage the places which Don Iuan hath designed to fortifie It should bee a matter of great importance and the Whole for Horse by reason of the difference of the Cavallerie which commeth out of England and that of the Earles for all that can bee leavied in Ireland or that they haue are small Horses and the Souldiers are unarmed which doe onely fight with halfe Pikes and Saddles without stirrops Of powder and matches as is aforesaid there is small store so that it is necessary to send some good quantitie together with Lead because there passed but little Bisquet and some wine is

his greatnesse who will by no meanes giue me a portion of Land to liue upon as was promised upon the delivery up of Kilcrey by your Honour wherein as of the rest I doe againe humbly beseech your favour and so as with a repentant and penitent transgressor of the Lawes I doe humbly submit my selfe to her Majesties grace and will endeavour my selfe hereafter by my good deeds and services to wipe out the memory of my former follies Expecting your favourable Answer I most humbly take my leaue From Carrigifuky this ninth of Iune 1602. Your Honours most humble to commaund Teg Mac Cormock Cartie The combination lately by Cormocke contracted with the Priest Owen Mac Eggan being manifestly prooved by severall witnesses subject to no Exceptions the Gentleman Porter called Master Raph Hammon was commaunded to bring the Prisoner before the President and Counc●ll which were assembled at Shandon Castle who making his apparance was charged with the severall Treasons afore recited who insisted very much upon his Iustification pretending that those accusations were injuriously devised and slanderously suggested by his Enemies especially for the last Article concerning the Conspiracie with the Priest Mac Eggan which indeed was so cunningly and secretly caryed as he supposed that it was rather presumed then prooved against him Hee renounced all favour and pardon if it would bee justified by lawfull testimony The President replyed that this was the onely matter of substance that he was charged withall the former being pardoned since the perpetrating thereof being onely inducements and presumptions whereby they were the rather mooved to giue ●are and credit to the latter accusation But hee still persisting in his Innocencie was at last urged with this Dilemma namely that either hee should confesse his fault and so intreat her Majesties mercy or else in token of his loyall and guiltlesse heart he should deliver unto the State his Castle of Blarney upon condition that if the fact whereof he was charged were not evidently prooved against him the sayd Castle should be redelivered to him or his assignes by a day appoynted At first hee seemed very inclinable to the motion but in processe it was perceived that hee intended nothing but jugling and devices wherefore a Warrant from the whole Body of the Councell was directed to the sayd Gentleman Porter straightly charging and commanding that he should be kept in yrons closer then before untill he should demeane himselfe in more dutifull conformitie And besides they appoynted Captaine Taffe in whom Cormock reposed much trust to perswade him to surrender the sayd Castle into the Presidents hands undertaking upon his credit to retaine the same and all the goods in it or neere thereunto belonging either to himselfe or his followers from losse and danger either by Subject or Rebell Cormocke at last finding that the President was resolved either to make him bend or breake caused his Constable though much against his will to yeeld the said Castle to Captaine Taffe so that no other whatsoever might haue the charge or custodie thereof The Prisoner besides the Castle of Blarney had two places kept by his Dependants of good importance to commaund the Countrey the one an Abbey called Kilcrey distant from Corke sixe myles and the other a Castle called Mocrumpe sixteene miles distant from Corke the former scituated upon the South and the latter upon the North side of the River of Lee. The Castle and Abbey of Kilcrey was rendred to Captaine Francis Slingsbie sent thither by the President But Mocrumpe seated in the heart of Muskrey and invironed round about with woods and bogges could not be gotten without the countenance of an Armie therefore the President sent first Captaine Flower and afterwards Sir Charles Wilmott with competent numbers of Foot and Horse to lye before it untill such time as they might gaine it by Sapp or Myne or by some other stratageme as time and occasion should minister opportunity During this siege the President cast about for his wife and children and having gotten them likewise into his hands confined them within the walles of Corke These things thus accomplished the President dispatched Letters both to the Lords of her Majesties Privie Councell of England and also to the Lord Deputie and Councell of Ireland relating unto them the apprehension of Cormocke and the reasons inducing him thereunto desiring also to receiue their Lordships pleasures for his further proceedings in this businesse but before answere could bee returned an unfortunate accident unexpected altered the whole platforme of this intended service For Cormocks followers had plotted his escape and likewise to procure Cormock Oge his eldest sonne who was then a Student in Oxford to bee convayed secretly out of the Vniversitie and to be brought into Ireland or as some thought to bee sent into Spaine for effecting whereof Iohn O Healy one of Cormocks old theeues was the next passage to be sent into England Advertisement hereof was brought to the President who for preventing of both these Designes first sent for the Gentleman Porter delivered unto him at large the great prejudice that should arise to her Majesties Service if the prisoner should escape that the Queenes charge and his owne paines and laborious travell were all frustrated yea if the Spaniards should arriue as they were expe●●ed the whole kingdome of Ireland should receiue hazard and prejudice by it Wherefore he charged him upon his duty to the State his allegeance to her Majestie and in the loue he bare unto himselfe that hee would bee no lesse carefull of his safe keeping then of his owne life which in some sort depended thereon Answer was made by Hammon that his Lordship should not need to trouble his minde with any such imaginary doubts for if shackles of yron walles of stone and force of men for hee had certaine Souldiers allowed him for a Guard could make him sure then should the Prisoner bee forth-comming whensoever the State should bee pleased to call for him and for Iohn O Healy the President held a watchfull eye over him but it was not thought good to make stay of him untill he should be aboard the ship that such Instructions and Letters as should bee sent by him might with himselfe bee apprehended whereby the whole circumstance of these plots and the chiefe Agents therein might bee discovered to make short the wind was faire the Master hasteth aboard the Marriners and Passengers purposing to set saile the next tyde amongst the rest Iohn O Healy unregarded as hee thought is also on shipboard but hee was much deceived in his opinion for presently a Messenger sent from the State found him in the hold when he began to search him for his Letters he making shew to deliver them willingly upon a suddaine threw both his Letters and money into the Sea which although it did plainely demonstrate apparant guiltinesse yet could hee never afterwards bee wrought to confesse either the contents of the one or
