George a man of a great stomacke but very cholericke and somewhat discontented that being somewhat of kinne to the Queene hee attained but meane honours and wealth departed also his Sonne George succeeded him in his dignities and the Lord Cobham in the Chamberlaines place who continued in it but few moneths Another was Francis Knolles who had married the Lord Hunsdons Sister and for the truth of the Gospell had beene banished into Germany first hee was Sub-Chamberlaine to the Queene afterwards Captaine of the Guard afterwards Treasurer of the Queenes Houshold and one of the Order of S. George In his Treasurer-ship Roger Lord North succeeded him and his Sonne William Knolles was made Comptroller of the Houshold Another towards the end of the yeere was Henry Hastings Earle of Huntingdon the third of that stocke President of the Councell in the Northerne quarters and being a man of a milde disposition but very earnest in the purity of his religion he spent most of his patrimony in costly succouring and cherishing of the more feruent sort of Ministers He was buried in the county of Leicester and Francis L. Hastings died then to And the Presidency of the Councell committed to Matthew Hutton Archbishop of Yorke but without the title of President Neither among so many men is the death of that worthy woman Margaret Clifford Countesse of Darby the onely daughter of Henry Clifford Earle of Cumberland which hee had by Elenor Brandon the Niece of Henry the Eight to bee concealed who out of a womanish curiosity and weakenes of her sexe being too credulous and somewhat ambitious of farre fetcht hopes dealt with Southsayers and in striuing to get the knowledge of things to come lost the presentfauour of the Queene and her life presently after THE FORTIETH Yeere OF HER REIGNE Anno Domini 1597.

Neapolitanes and Germanes the Low Countries historie doeth report I hasten and intend to greater matters The Queene being giuen credibly to vnderstand that the Spaniard was prouiding a new piece of warre out of the old decayed reliques and other ships which he intended against Ireland prepares her Nauy of ten of her owne Ships and as many Hollanders either to diuert his proiect or to delay it But when as this number seemed but very small there were more added fiue thousand Souldiers prest besides a thousand old Souldiers whom Vere brought out of the Low-Countries So that in all in this Nauy there were one hundred and twenty Ships Seuenteene of the Queenes three and forty little men of warre the rest to carry prouision The Nauy was diuided into three Squadrons Essex commanded the first who had the whole Expedition committed to his care Thomas Howard the second and Walter Rawleigh the third Charles Blunt Lord Montioy was Captaine of the Souldiers vnder the Earle of Essex and Sir Francis Vere Serieant Maior Sir George Carew master of the Ordnance and Engines and Sir Christopher Blunt chiefe Colonell To this warre also went the Earles of Rutland and Southampton the Lord Grey Cromwell and Rich with many other Knights and other Gentlemen These with their sailes displayed and other costly vanitie that is peculiar to the English when they goe to warre set forth from Plimmouth the ninth day of luly After two dayes to euery Ship was deliuered her Commission signed whither she should bend her course which way to Feroll and the Groyne that there they might expect the Spanish Nauy and assault it and surprize the Indy Nauy at Azores After mature deliberation this was thought most expedient to be done For so should England rest in security the Nauies of both the Indies being not defended should be easierly surprized the Islands Azores should be surprized where both the rich Nauies from the I●dies in their returne arriue and water themselues The Queen should be made absolute Commandresse of the Sea The Spaniard dispoyled of his Nauy should either bee compelled to a peace vpon any equall tearmes or to his great dammage to renue his warres againe Essex had resolued as at least made shew and sometimes publiquely professed That he would either vanquish this Nauy that so hath threatned England the last yeare or else sacrifice himselfe to the good of his Countrey But they had scar●e gone forty leagues from Plimmouth when a fearefull tempest rushes vpon them North●west and a mist takes away sight from them The Ayre with thunder and the water with tumultuous waues reflecting from the sides of the ships with a fearefull Eccho did so rage foure dayes together that the Mariners themselues were affraid the Souldiers trembled and the whole Nauy much di●●ected not without great danger hardly recouered Plimmouth againe and other coasts thereabouts the Admirall it selfe was so battered that it was scarce of any ●se some of 〈◊〉 fresh-water Souldiers were so troubled with an ●nmannerly Stomack that they stole home againe secretly The Na●y being againe refresht and repayred although to the diminishing both of the number strength of the former forthwith puts forth againe but found the winds so contrary that for a whole moneth they could not get out of the Hauens And by that time prouisiō of victuals grew very scarce among them whereof they could haue no supply but out of the East part of England and that in no little time wherefore it seemed good vnto them to discharge all their Souldiers beside one thousand old ones and to dismisse most of their Ships of lesser weight and not to goe to Fer●ll or the Groyne And then it fell to be deliberated on whether or no they should make their expedition to the Islands Azores which all agreed vpon that they should but only Vere who said it would neither be for the profit nor the credit of the Queene since that

of warre They I say tooke it very heinously as if the King suspected their loyalty and hereupon being also mooued with other suggestions thinking themselues to haue deserued better they began for to conspire to 〈◊〉 their Offices hereditary to them and their heires and whe● they could wring out that which they would they became ●iercer then the very enemies Of this number were they whom the King in his Letter●●o the Queene was not ashamed 〈◊〉 defame very sharpely not onely as vngratefull but of a faint courage not hauing euer ouercome the enemy by any warlike valour but reconciled them rather by pay and promises But the Queene being very desirous of the safety of the King pittying the often and neadlesse reuolts of the French neuer gaue ouer celebrating him as the only preseruer of the fading French Monarchy These things I haue weaued into my discourse that posterity may hereafter iudge of the wisedome of the Queene in councelling the King and of her constant good will to her ancient friend and Professour of the same Religion Also at this time the Queene succoured Geneua the Seminary of the Reformed Religion which was now assaulted by trickes and open Armes by the Duke of Sauoy and great store of money was gathered to that intent throughout all England which was liberally bestowed both by the Clergy and Commonalty of the Land This yeare in February Alexander Nowell Doctor of Diuinity and Deane of Pauls surrendred his soule to God In the dayes of Queene Mary hee was banished into Germany for the truth of the Gospell which afterwards both in his laborious Sermons and his learned workes he strongly did maintaine He bestowed vpon Brasen-nose College in Oxford where he was brought vp 200. pounds yearely to maintaine therein 13.

Iohn Barclay was shot through with a Bullet were yeelded vp to the Deputy who placed a Fort at Logh-Eaugh or Logh Sidney which after his name of Honour he called Montioy-Fort making Sir Arthur Chichester a man worthy to succeed him in his Office Gouernour thereof He sends backe Sir Henry Docwray to Diry who receiueth to mercy O-Chanan after great part of his Dominions had fell to the Queene onely vpon condition that by her Letters Patents he might quietly possesse the rest After that at the Deputies command he ouer-runs Omie with a miserable slaughter he driues away the Cattle of Cormac-Baron although with some danger And after that being sent for by the Deputy and Agar Castle being taken he sends him and Sir Henry Folliot home First making Folliot of authority vnder him and shortly after beyond all expectation making him absolute President of Ballashanon to the wonder of the English that he should be preferred before Docwray who by his great paines and industry had recouered Ballashanon And at the same time to the much admiration of the Irish receiues into protection Rodoricke O-d●●ell a most famous Rebell as yet neglecting O● Neale Gar●e a faithfull friend to the English Insomuch as that O-Neale tooke it so heinously that he assumed to himselfe the title of O-donell and exercised tyranny ouer the people compelling them to sweare fealty to him and not to the Queene Now towards the end of the yeare Sir Arthur Chichester and Docwray determined to set vpon Tir-Oen on this side and on that side in the Vallies where he lay lurking But all their on-sets were so frustrated with the boggish grounds with the vncertainty of the weather and the perfidiousnesse of the spies that they were faine to giue ouer their enterprise But in a word the Garrisons disposed so by the Deputy on euery side with great Military skill and greater courage so vexed the Rebels with often onsets and crosse expeditions on this side and that side that at last seeing themselues begirt and all things harder and harder euery day and that now they must lurke like wilde Beasts in the Desarts many of them changed their loyalty to Tir-Oen with their fortune and secretly submitted themselues to the Deputy muttering speeches that Tir-Oen had exposed the whole Nation to ruine onely vpon his priuate hatred and that all this warre was onel● necessary for him alone but hur●full and lamentable to all the rest And truely the Deputy somewhat respected these yeelders more then was looked for neglecting those against his owne promise that had faithfully stucke to the Queene but it is likely he fauoured them so out of his Iudgement rather then affection knowing that it was better for the Kingdome being so wounded to be at rest then to haue those wounds greene againe with a seuere cure This yeelding daily encreased so much that Tir-Oen easily perceiued that by reason of his ill successes the loyalty and force of his Army much diminished wherefore being weary of his miseries he now resolued to preuent more vpon hope of life which euen will discourage the valiantest mindes that are Wherefore he sent most humble Letters both to the Queene and the Deputy both with teares and prayers crauing pardon for his offence bearing so great signes of sorrow before him
