From Dundalke the Lord Deputy with his seruants and voluntary horsemen rode to Dublin the seuenteenth of Nouember Within few dayes vpon Sir Arthur Sauage his intreatic to goe for England about his priuate affaires his Lordship gaue him licence and appointed Sir Iohn Barkely to supplie his place of Prouisionarie Gouernour of the Prouince of Connaght At the same time his Lordship wrote into England for authoritie to passe vnto certaine submitties their Countries with reseruation of her Maiesties rights and some other conditions for her profit and seruice more particularly on the behalfe of Connor Roe Mac Guyre who being put from the Chiefery of his Country by Tyrone had quitted al his possessions and goods to come to the Queenes seruice when Tyrone had two of his sonnes for pledges of which the elder lately escaping from the rebels had likewise submitted himselfe and they both had serued valiantly in the late Northerne iourney so as the father had his horse killed vnder him and the sonne killed three rebels with his owne hand And from thence both going into Fermanagh had drawne many of that Country to follow them in the Queenes seruice diuerting all the Countrie from assisting Tyrone Besides that in a late skirmish they had taken Cormock Tyrones brothers eldest sonne a young man of the greatest hope in the North whom the Rebels purposed to create Oneale after Tyrones death for which respect he was a better pledge then any of Tyrones sons This youth they had brought to the Lord Deputy with great hazard to conuoy him and that when 3000. pound and other ample conditions were offered them for his ransome In the same moneth of Nouember many of the Northerne Rebels with great troops among them a Mounster man Piers Lacy of English race a famous rebell drew into the Brenny meaning to passe to the Shannon side and so into Mounster after they had strengthened the broken rebels of the Pale with some assistance But this their passage was so stopped as it tooke no effect The sixth of December his Lordship was aduertised from an honourable friend in Court that his late proceedings were mentioned by all men with much honour and most of all by the Queen who vttered to himselfe the most gracious and kind speeches of his Lordship and the most extolling his valour and worthy parts that euer he had heard her vse of any Till this time the rebels of the Mountaines neere Dublyn called the Glinnes gaue allarums almost euery night in the Suburbes of Dublyn But the time when the insolency of some of them should bee chastened was now come The Obirnes hauing Phelim mac Feogh the chiefe of their Sept after the death of Feogh mac Hugh formerly mentioned inhabited the Glinnes bordering on the plaines of Dublyn extending some foure or fiue miles that way and these being neerer then the O Tooles and other their confederates were most insolent vpon that City and the Counsell there residing when the Lord Deputy was farre off in
out through the dispersed clouds and shining so bright as our best Marrines easily discouered the Harbour of Yoghall and the tide seruing happily we passed the barre into the same And the next morning we might see the danger we had escaped most apparant for our ship was so farre vnable to indure the waues of the sea with her great leake and the foulenesse of the Pumpes if we had been forced to keepe a bord till the next daies light might make vs know the coast as the same night she had sunke in the quiet Harbour if the Marriners had not chosen rather to driue her on ground At this time I found the State of Ireland much changed for by the flight of the Earle of Tyrone and the Earle of Tirconnell with some Chiefes of Countries in the North and the suppression and death of Sir Cabier Odogherty their confederate in making new troubles all the North was possessed by new Colonies of English but especially of Scots The meere Irish in the North and ouerall Ireland continued still in absolute subiection being powerfull in no part of the Kingdome excepting onely Connaght where their chiefe strength was yet little to bee feared if the English-Irish there had sound hearts to the State But the English Irish in all parts and especially in the Pale either by our too much cherishing them since the last Rebellion in which we found many of them false hearted or by the Kings religious courses to reforme them in their obstinate adiction to Poperie euen in those points which oppugned his Maiesties temporall power or by the fulnesse of bread in time of peace whereof no Nation sooner surfets then the Irish were growne so wanton so incensed and so high in the instep as they had of late mutinously broken of a Parlament called for the publike good and reformation of the Kingdome and from that time continued to make many clamourous complaints against the English Gouernours especially those of the pale against the worthy Lord Deputy and his Ministers through their sides wounding the Roiall authoritie yea in all parts the Churle was growne rich and the Gentlemen and Swordmen needy and so apt to make a prey of other mens goods The Citizens of Mounster had long since obtained the renuing of their old Charters with all their exorbitant priuiledges and were now growne most refractory to all due obedience especially for matters of Religion In which parts the very numbers of the Priests swarming among them and being actiue men yea contrary to their profession bloudy in handling the sword far exceeded the number of the Kings souldiers reduced to very smal or no strength And many loose mē flocked into that Prouince out of the Low-Countries who being trained there in the Irish Regiment with the Arch-Duke daily sent ouer new men to bee in like sort trained there and themselues lay dispersed and hidden in all corners with hearts no doubt apt to imbrace mischieuous enterprises And howsoeuer the English Lawyers comming ouer after the last warre vaunted Ireland to be reduced to ful obedience by their Itinerary circuits scarce mentioning with honour the sword that made way to them yet they were therein deceiued that the Irish in their clamorous and litigious nature flying to them with many complaints did it onely to get countenance to their causes from them who were strangers to them perhaps against former iudgements of the Gouernours who better knew them and so to oppose one Magistrate against another not as they might perhaps thinke in sincere affection to be ruled by the Lawes Yea those Chiefes of Countries who vsed to waite on them to the limits of their Country did it rather to keepe the people by their awfull presence from exhibiting complaints against themselues then as the Iudges thought out of their dutifull respect to them or to the State For otherwise euen among the English-Irish in the inferiour persons from the Counstables to the Iustices of Peace and so vpward Iustice had not his due course which can neuer haue life but in the mouing of al the members with due correspondency and many outrages were by the English-Irish and meere Irish done against the English lately planted there So as now when Ireland should haue enioyed the fruites of the last warre in the due subiection of the meere Irish these times threatned the next combustions from our degenerate English Irish. Onely the louers of peace were erected to good hopes by a generall confidence that our Soueraigne would apply his Royall power seuere Iustice most auaileable in Ireland and other his heroick vertues to the timely preuention of any mischieuous issue as not long after his Maiestie happily began with bringing those his subiects to conformity of making wholesome Lawes for the publike good by common consent of that Kingdomes three Estates assembled in his Royall Court of Parliament at Dublyn in the yeere 1614 to which worke and all his Royall counsels God giue happy successe The Lyst of Officers Generall and Prouinciall Warders Horsemen and Footemen as they stood at this time of Peace Officers Generall The Lord Chichester Baron of Belfast Lord Deputy of Ireland hauing enioyed that place many yeeres beyond all example of former times Sir Thomas Ridgeway Treasurer at Warres Sir Richard Wingfeild Marshall of Ireland Sir Olyuer S.

THE DISCOVRSE VPON SEVERALL HEADS THROVGH THE SAID SEVERALL DOMINIONS Of Trauelling in generall PART III. BOOKE I. CHAP. I. That the visiting of forraigne Countries is good and profitable But to whom and how farre SInce the best and most generous wits most affect the seeing of forraigne Countries and there can hardly bee found a man so blockish so idle or so malicious as to discourage those that thirst after knowledge from so doing I might seeme to vndertake a vaine and needelesse taske if I should perswade thereunto Wherefore I passe ouer the aboundant fruits it yeeldeth I will not speake of the experience thereby attained which instructeth the most dull and simple as the Sunne by his beames coloureth the passenger intending nothing lesse then to be so coloured which neither by hearing nor any sense can so easily be gained as by the eies For since nothing is in the vnderstanding which hath not first beene in some of the senses surely among the senses which are as it were our Sentinels and Watchmen to spie out all dangers and conduct vs through the thorny laberinth of this lifes pilgrimage not any one is so vigilant so nimble so wary nor by many degrees so trusty as the sight according to the saying of the Poet Segnius irritant animos delapsa per aures Quam quae sunt oculis subiecta fidelibus c. Lesse doth it moue the minde that beates the eares Then what before the faithfull eye appeares This ground of my discourse being granted yet I am not so blindly affected to this course of trauelling as I will thrust all into this warfare without difference or choise First women for suspition of chastity are most vnfit for this course how soeuer the masculine women of the Low Countries vse to make voyages for trafficke not only to their owne Cities but euen to Hamburg in Germany and more remote places neither would I aduise Angelica if she were aliue in these dayes to trust her self alone and in desart places to the protection of wandering Knights lest shee should meere with more strong encounters then was that of the weake Hermite Nor yet will I herein giue vnlimitted liberty to married men holding Alexius vnexcusable who left his Bside vpon the very marriage day yet after a due time of conuersatiō to combine loue why should he not in sūmer season follow the wars at his Princes command yea vpon his free will since we owe ourselues to our Countrey as to our VViues yea why should he not search after politike wisdome by short excursions into forraigne parts since we permit Merchants and Marriners though married to take long voyages for gaine neither can Gentlemen more inrich themselues then by the knowledge of military and politicall affaires And indeed the ciuill Law permits men to trauell after the Espousals Alwaies prouided that this industry rather increase then diminish our estates except our Countrey be in question in which case all respects to our priuat Family whether of loue of frugality or whatsoeuer priuate good must be cast behind our backes since the Common-wealth containes each priuate mans estate and a part must be put to hazard for the preseruation of the whole body Let Plato the Diuine Phylosopher haue patience with me though I be not of his opinion who in his twelfth Booke of Lawes assigneth to this course the last period of life from the age of fifty yeers to threescore It is true which he saith of that age to be most able to discerne betweene good and vnprofitable Lawes and that it is lesse subiect to infection from corrupt customes Yet as some yong men once freed of the Tutors awe be prone and apt to runne into vices so many old men alwaies comparing like dispositions hauing forceably restrained themselues from naturall inclinations for feare of shame this cause of restraint once taken away while among strangers they are at more liberty doe often returne to their owne nature euen in vices most improper to that age and in that case their dotages are more slanderous both to themselues and their Countries Now that old men may dote in this sort one example of Tyberius the Emperour may serue for plane proue thereof who in his youth and the yeeres of his strength hauing dissembled his wicked inclination at last in his old age gaue his nature the raines and retiring himselfe as it were out of the sight of the Senate and people of Rome into the Iland Caprea there he shamelesly gaue himselfe ouer to all beastly lust thinking himselfe safe from the censure of the Romans though his wickednes was no lesse knowne in Rome then if it had beene done in their market places according to the Italian Prouerbe L' Amer ' e cieco vede niente Ma nonson ' cieche l'altre gente Loue is starke blind and sees nought done amisse But other people are not blind ywisse And though wee should grant that which Plato attributes to old men yet they whose custome is growne to another nature shall neuer be able to endure the frequent changes of diet and aire which young men cannot beare without preiudice to their health except it be by little little as it were by insensible degrees Not to speake of the weakenesse proper to old age which makes them so sickly as they are not onely vnfit for conuersation abroad but also haue small hope to returne and relate their obseruations at home Old men are indeed most fit for Ambassages in neighbour countries for in this employment they
