so many men and other necessarie deductions could not but bee very néere wasted and that little remaynder more fit for a prey to the poore souldiour after his tedious trauell than for a clause in the composition Furthermore how needfull it was to embrace this accord may clearely bee seene by whosoeuer considereth the state of our Armie almost vtterly tyred how full of daunger and difficultie it was to attempt a breach defended by so many hands how long time it might haue cost vs if wee had lodged in the Breach before wee could haue carried the Towne it beeing full of strong castles how her Maiesties ships and others lying in the harbour should haue béen forced spéedily to forsake vs for want of victuals how by a long contrarietie of winds our selues were not prouided for aboue sixe daies at the time of this parley though within fewe dayes after good store arriued it being indéed worthy of obseruation that by her Maiesties great care the dilligence of her ministers so good prouidence was vsed as though this descent of Spanyards drew into that quarter all the forces of the kingdome which could be spared all which were onely to liue by prouision out of England notwithstanding all the difficulties of transportation in so vnseasonable a time no notorious wants were found in the Armie but that which is vnseparable from a Winter siege in that Climate that we had neyther munition nor Artillerie left but for one batterie in one place at once fiue of our péeces being before crazed and finally that if we had missed of our purpose the whole countrey had béen hazarded Furthermore that which seemeth of greatest consequence to induce his Lordship to this agréement was That the Spanyards in Baltymore Castle-hauen and Beerehauen by vertue of this contract were likewise to surrender those places and depart the countrey which would haue prooued a matter of more difficultie and haue drawne on a long warre in a corrupted kingdome to root them out béeing strongly fortified and well stored with victuals munition and artillerie for that of necessitie the Armie for some space must haue rested and in the end haue beene constrained after a new supplie of al necessaries to her Maiesties intollerable charge to transport themselues thither by sea the way by land being altogether vnpassbale In which time their succours out of Spaine in all likelyhood would haue béene come vnto them the king being so farre ingaged in his honour to second his enterprise and we barred of that prosecution of the Rebels which now by this Agréement we may wholly entend The Treatie therefore was thus concluded as by the Articles ensuing signed on both parts appeareth Mountioye IN the town of Kynsale in the kingdome of Ireland the second day of the month of Ianuarie 1601 betwéen the noble Lords the Lord Mountioye Lord Deputie and Generall in the kingdome of Ireland for her Maiesty the Quéen of England ●and Don Iohn d'L Aquila Captaine and Campe-maister Generall and Gouernour of the Armie of his Maiestie the king of Spaine the said Lord Deputie being encamped besieging the said towne and the said Don Iohn within it for iust respects and to auoid shedding of blood these conditions following were made betwéene the said Lords Generals and their campes with the Articles which follow First That the said Don Iohn d'L Aquila shall quit the places which he holds in this kingdome as well of the towne of Kynsale as those which are held by the soldiers vnder his command in Castle-hauen Baltymore and in the castle at Béerhauen and other parts to the said Lord Deputie or to whome he shall appoint giuing him safe transportation and sufficient for the saide people of Ships and victuals with the which the sayd Don Iohn with them may go for Spain if he can at one time if not in two shippings Item that the Souldiers at this present being vnder the commaunde of Don Iohn in this Kingdome shall not beare armes against her Maiestie the Quéene of England whersoeuer supplies shall come from Spaine till the said souldiers be vnshipped in some of the Ports of Spaine being dispatched as soone as may be by the Lord Deputie as hee promiseth vpon his faith and honor For the accomplishing whereof the Lord Deputie offereth to giue frée passeport to the said Don Iohn and his army aswell Spaniards as other nations whatsoeuer that are vnder his commaund and that he may depart with all the things he hath Armes Municions Money Ensignes displaied Artillery other whatsoeuer prouisions of warre and any kind of stuffe aswell that which is in Castlehauen as Kynsale and other parts Item that they shal haue ships and victuals sufficient for their money according and at the prices which here they vse to giue That al the people and the said things may be shipped if it be possible at one time if not at two and that to be within the time aboue named Item that if by contrary windes or by any other occasions there shal ariue at any Port of these kingdomes of Ireland or England any shippes of these in which the said men goe they be entreated as frendes and may ride safely in the harbor and be victualed for their mony and haue moreouer things which they shall néed to furnish thē to their voyage Item during the time that they shall stay for shipping victuals shal be giuen to Don Iohns people at iust and reasonable rates Itē that of both parts shal be cessation of armes and security that no wrong be offred any one Item That the Ships in which they shall goe for Spayne may passe safely by any other Ships whatsoeuer of her Maiestie the Quéene of England and so shall they of the sayd Quéene and her Subiects by those that shall goe from hence the sayde Shippes being arriued in Spaine shall returne assoone as they haue vnshipped their men without any impediment giuen them by his Maiestie or any other person in his name but rather they shall shewe them fauour and helpe them if they néede any thinge and for securitie of this they shall giue into the Lorde Deputies handes Thrée Captaines such as hee shall choose For the securitie of the perfourmance of these Articles Don Iohn offereth that hee will confirme and sweare to accomplish this Agreement and likewise some of the Captaines of his charge shall sweare and confirme the same in a seuerall writing Item that hee in person shall abide in this Kingdome where the Lord Deputie shall appoint till the last shipping vpon his Lordshippes word and if it happen that his people be shipped all at once the sayde Don Iohn shall goe in the same Fléete without any Impediment giuen him But rather the Lord Deputie shall giue a good Shippe in which he may goe and if his sayd men be sent in twoo shippinges then he shall goe in the last And in like sort the saide Lord Deputie shall sweare and confirme and giue his word
