their Prince is euery wher counted happie blessed This is the protestation of O Neale to the Lorde Deputie This is largely profferd of hym O Neale promiseth to expell al Scots out of the North of Irelande if the Queenes Maiestie would but giue hym ayde or if her grace would haue it so Meanyng Sir Henry Sidney to whom O Neale made like protestation An admonition to the enhabitantes and borderers neare to the North O Neale promiseth not onely to be a scourdge to the euill liuers and disturbers of her Maiesties people but also a frende and helper of her good subiectes to the vttermost

mischefes He that hath wicked rancour in his breast hath with it also a greate nomber of euill vices Tyme is a detectour of treasone Treason espied is execused by reasone That traiter which is wilfully giuen to plaie the Rebell hath neuer regard to the cause be it good or bad for whiche he riseth A Rebell doeth not remember w●at is the ende of his treasons Though fortune doeth fauer the
