A01404	The true exemplary, and remarkable history of the Earle of Tirone vvherein the manner of his first presumption, affrighting both England and Ireland with his owne and the King of Spaines forces, and the misery of his ensuing deiection, downefall, and vtter banishment is truely related: not from the report of others, or collection of authors, but by him who was an eye witnesse of his fearefull wretchednes, and finall extirpation. Written by T.G. Esquire.	Gainsford, Thomas, d. 1624?	1619 (1619)	STC 11524; ESTC S121075	36,786	60

laughed at through the World when they cannot afford me one example neither domestick nor forraigne neither obsolete or moderne neither diuine nor prophane of any subiect stepping awry into the by-waies of rebellion or insurrection that was established by a forraigne Prince except that Prince as I said before proiected by such a bridge to transport his owne power for his owne ends and priuate satisfaction But I would faine disclaime any vnciuill opening the graues of the Dead and content my selfe with displaying the colours of time not yet elapsed from our owne memories When the children of that worthy Edmond Ironside fled into Hungarie from that preuailing greatnesse of Canutus I doe not read of their triumphant returne nor other establishment against that braue Dane till the factions of England broke out into flames of their priuate reuenges When Henry the second had crowned his sonne King of England and that the impatient young man could not endure his owne Father in the competition the Story saies the Prince with his brethren fled into France but how they returned how they prospered how they were supported it is lamentable one way to report and remarkeable another way to relate In that deplorable businesse of Edward the second when his wife and son presumed on the assistance of the French King I hope it was not that power which established the young Prince but the authoritie of Mortimer that suppressed the misled King When Henry the fourth preuailed Queene Isabel fled to her owne brother about the restoring of Richard 2. but to what purpose To bemoane her remedilesse griefes and returne if euer shee did returne without suppliment of sufficient assistance The Earle of Richmond though afterward Henry the seuenth in the confused times of the Yorkest preuailings went into Brittaine and so into France but how he had like to haue beene serued Peter Landoise the Secretary and the Kings gold could then haue vnueiled the corruption of either and when that Fortune led him by the hand to pace out the measures of victories I hope it was no French power but English Friends and the Iustice of Diuine prouidence which seated him so happily in the Throne of greatnesse How Perkin Warbeck for all his exhaled vapouring went forward assisted by the Scottish policie Flemmish credulitie and inueterat malice of the Duches of Burgundy against the house of Lancaster our stages of London haue instructed those which cannot read How the Earle of Westmerland and numbers of English fugitiues haue beene entertained abroad some ouerthrown with calamitous desperation some colluded with the incantations of Friers religious miracles some distracted with guiltines of Conscience some transfounded with ambitious prosecutions some preuaricated with an outward glory of Military profession all men can discouer with repining eyes or else let them ouerlooke a well compacted breuiary to the same purpose discoursing of the entertainement of English fugitiues beyond the Seas In the heate of our Enmity with Spaine Don Antonio King of Portingall flies vnder the couert of a Princely protection which to the admiration of the World so expanded it selfe that we brought him to the gates of Lisbone but were deceiued with his presumptuous weakenesse and ouer-credulous information Somewhat neere the same account another personating the King Sebastian supposedly slaine in the fields of Barbary astonished Florence and Venice with many preuailing probabilities of his life but the King of Spaine was in the strength of a new possession and the Italians too fearefull to rayse vp a Spirit they knew not how to coniure downe againe If you would commiserate the misfortunes of Stukely I could Catalogue all his proceedings and relate that the best glory of his entertainement both with the King of Spaine and the Pope consisted in some poore mercenary allowances and when it was at the highest to flourish onely with the titular dignity of the Marquesse of Dubline but alas it wanted the essentiall parts and proppes of such a businesse Men and Treasure so that I may very well conclude against all such exhalations and infatuated men with the significant Poet Non ideo debet pelago se credere si qua audet in exiguo ludere cimbalacu What say you to Antonio de Peres for whom the warres of Aragon burst forth into the reproach of seditious reuolts and tumultuary disobedience was hee not a while suffulciated amongst vs vntill those vnlookt for conditions of peace hung downe the heads of many military and noble minded English sending him to put his confidence in God for the Princes of the World had failed him You haue heard how the Duchy of Millane was as it were dilacerated with troubles and posted ouer from perplexity to perplexity vntill the Emperour Charles the fift made it a meritorious act to secure it vnder the strength of his protection but alas hee quickly left them staggering in their weakenesse and widened his owne embraces to hug them warme for himselfe and keep them close to the Maiesty of Spaine What say you to the Duke de Maine and many of that French League how did they excruciat themselues to be shouldered aside from their expectation of forraigne coadiutement and when they had laboured to hide themselues in the Reedes of the Arch-Dukes Pooles yet were they faine to make themselues cleane againe by a contrary submission in the springs of their owne Countrey assuring the malecontents of their combination that no Prince will hazard the peace of his Countrey and Treasure of his Common-wealth for any forraigne Subiect liuing vnles as in many places before the proiect is contriued for their owne glory or benefite I could beginne againe with the vnnaturall distractions of the Warres betweene Lancaster and Yorke when Queene Margaret the Virago of her time and her faction fled both into Scotland and France but with what comforts of supportation there and reliefe at home the Catastrophes of her husband and sonne can delineate her misfortunes and her owne dismission out of England bee a sufficient warning to all disastrous Princes especially seditious Subiects neither to trust their owne strength friends in vniustifiable proceedings lest with Phaetons wilfulnesse they finde the Sunnes horses too too headstrong for their managing nor be too confident in the best aduersity on the presidiary helpes of a Stranger if once the businesse tend to draw an Army into the field and as it were to pull off the Gates of anothers Maiesty ouer the hindges But of all other the history of Tirone and Terconell is most lamentable and remarkeable who while I was in Italy passed by Millane to Rome but in such a manner as if Zedechias eyes were put out and the Princes of Iuda carried captiue to Babylon before the Monarch of the East for his entertainement with Spaine was no better then in a common Inne at Milbane with a common tricke to grace and flatter him with a foolish title of the Prince of Ireland and at Rome hee was the

subiects of Charity and had onely a poore suppliment from some speciall Cardinals yet because I haue beene a spectator of this flourishing Tree like the Chaldeans vision and saw his blasting and fall of Leaues as the Fig-tree cursed by our Sauiour giue mee leaue to bee beholding to M r Cambdens compendious discourse and with some additions of my owne set him thus on the Stage of fearefull admiration Thus much by way of Introduction The Story followes THE HISTORIE OF THE EARLE of Tirone I Will here desist from any dilations of Irish businesse of old or mention of the great Oneale who as they say before the comming of Saint Patrick possessed Vlster and most parts of Ireland shining as the Sunne of the same vntill the conquest from England obscured his light and taught his barbarous immanity another manner of obedience and lesson of submission to a greater Maiesty by which occasion this ambitious family was in a manner suppressed and lost that seeming lustre where with it graced the North of Ireland yea the whole Iland lying close to the shore and not daring once to launch forth into the Ocean of turbulent dissention or refractary contesting with England vntill Edward de Bruse of Scotland proclaymed himselfe King of Ireland Then Douenaldus Oneale impatient of such indignity launched forth by degrees into the Channell of a new disturbance and held vp his head as presuming on his owne Greatnesse equall to Bruses and so in his letters and submission to the Pope accustomed the titles of heire of Ireland King of Vlster and one of the sonnes of the mother Church But that trouble appeased these new Kings were separated and their vnited Greatnesse euen in their posterity disioynted vntill againe that implacable contention betweene the two Families of Yorke and Lancaster not onely deformed the prosperity of England but according to the preuailing of factious Greatnesse sent ouer diuers Gouernours their particeans into Ireland who still temporizing with the strongest party and contriuing for their priuate lest the generall cause at randome and were indeed vnable to redact to any vniformity of gouernement the disparity of Irish obedience and so gaue way vnto this ambitious insulting and rude people to hold vp their heads and aduance themselues as high as their owne titles the law Tanist and liberty of nature could dignifie them Wherevpon Harry Oneale the son of Oenus or Eugenius matched himselfe with the daughter of Th. Earle of Kildare his son Con More or great Con married the daughter of Gerald Earle of Kildare his owne mothers Neece whereby vnited to the flourishing colours of the Geraldines which many yeeres had beene displayed in Ireland and swelled with the fulnesse of a most vberant family they beganne besides a strange elation of their spirits with a tyrannous suppression of their own Nation and this Con More despised all titles of either Prince Duke Marquesse or Earle in respect of the name of Oneale To this Con succeeded another Con surnamed Banco or Lance whose inueterate hate against the English was such that hee cursed his posterity if either they learned the language sowed any wheate or builded houses This mans greatnesse bred him enuy in the Court of England according to the misery of all times there wanted not priuate whisperers yea flatterers of Princes by whose suggestion that famous King Henry the eight was iealous of his power especially when it was corroborated by that factious house of Kildare whose story alone is of worthy memory and affordeth so many excellent obseruations that I wish them folded vp as it were in one carpet to be spred abroad with hansomnesse for our delight and vnderstanding But when the strength of our armies and fortune of the warres had both ouerawed their weaknesse and reduced to good order those dangerous enemies bringing them into the schoole of correction for their misdemeanors and reformation for their inciuility This Con was compelled to prostrate himselfe before the Maiesty of England and so disclaimnig the title of Oneale by Letters-Patents was created Earle of Tirone his eldest sonne Mathew though suspected a Bastard Baron of Dunganon and all his Family as it were incorporated to the new obedience of the King This Mathew vntill the age of fifteene yeere was imputed the sonne of a Smith in Dundalk whose wife being Oneales Concubine did at the time of death according to the custome of Ireland present him with this sonne whome Oneale did not onely receiue with gladnesse but accepted him as his owne yea preferred him before his other children to his titles and possessions But Iohannes or Shane Oneale his sonne by a lawfull wife tooke it in such indignity that making a strong faction against his father hee not onely supplanted his brother Mathew cutting off his head but tormented the old Con with many vnnaturall assaults and violent excursions depopulating his territories killing his complices banishing his auxiliaries and at last brought him with vntimely griefe vnto his graue and all the country to bee affrighted with his tyranny For he not onely stepped forward more gloriously then his other ancestors proclayming himselfe the great Oneale but with seuerall expeditions contracted the loue and obseruation of the other Prouinces insomuch that many Rebels both of Conach Meths and Munster assisted him in the prosecution of Mathews childrē amongst whom Brian falling into the hands of Maudonel Totan was cruelly murthered Hugh Cormach were vnder English protection and hardy preserued which fell out so crosly against Shanes expectation and disastrous to his rebellious presumption that with a lothsome sauagenesse and traitrous conspiracy he deformed the beauty of Irelands peace and made hauock in a strange manner of her prosperity to which insolency and violent rage of preuailing Sir Henry Sidney L. Iustice of Ireland in the absence of T. Earle of Sussex Lord Lieutenant made opposition and cast such blocks in the way that his fury was somewhat rebated and a Cataplasme of restraint applied and when there was no remedy but cutting and fearing the vlcerous flesh of this putrified body of Rebellion by force of Armes hee not onely propulsed the indignity lashing the sides of these proud Treasons with the stripes of a reuengefull hand but brought this insulting Lord on his knees and made him confesse the superiority of Englands Maiesty But first by way of expostulation the matter was disputed with this Shane how he durst presume to cast as it were a defiance into the face of Englands Gouernment and put on his Iearean wings to flie higher then his owne Feathers would warrant him Hee answered very peremptorily that hee was the true and lawfull heire of Con Oneale as issuing from a worthy wife and of a noble house whereas Mathew was the Sonne of a Smith in Dondalck and onely foisted in to ouerthrow the families of Oneale which hee neither would nor could be a Pathick vnto as for the Kings Letters patents affording Con the honor of a Coronet and

truce of his Country raised his forces mustred his Rebells rumored the inuasion of England by Spaine and audaciously set open all the passages of war and defiance whereupon the Traytours increased both in pride and numbers and those which were meere Irish expected their pristinate liberty such againe as had settled their estates either by purchase or gift of the Prince began to misdoubt themselues when they perceiued such a confluence and concurrence of tumultuary businesse to the detriment of the Kingdome yea I am afrayd they were without all hope in their hearts when Tirone proclaimed himselfe Protector of Ireland and Maintainer of the Catholique Religion nor was this onely titular and a formall tricke of vaine promises and flattering friends For he proceeded accordingly imperiously managing all affaires vnder his gouernment the rebellious he moderated the weake supported the strong confirmed the staggering reduced the wilfull punished and in a word applied himselfe altogether to the extirpation of the English whereunto he was animated by assured intelligence of preparations in Spaine and the receiuing a competent treasure from thence Nor wanted there certaine indulgences and promises from the Pope to set his desire on a blaze but when for a present hee had receiued an hollowed Phoenix plume with Ixion that boasted of lying with Iuno being yet deceiued with the shape of a clowd hee presaged good fortune and ranne away with full confidence of successe and the rather because hee remembred how Vrban the third had sent King Iohn a crowne of peacockes feathers at his designation for the Lordship of Ireland Thus marched he ouer the Countrey with extraordinarie preuailing and vnaccustomed pomp for an Irish Commander with new publications of his regardable proceedings and Princely confirmations And to adde fuell to that fire which in his absence was kindled in Munster he went thither in person and vnder colour of visiting a peece of the crosse of Christ in Tiperary attempted further sending Mac-Guior to forage the country who chancing on S r. Warrham Selenger fell to blowes and in gallant encounter charged one another so brauely that with their staues they equally received their deaths wounds through their bodies which a while curbed Tirones headstrongnesse and peraduenture was cause of his sooner retiring home after he had celebrated Mac-Guiors exequies but in truth the aduertisement of the Earle of Ormonds comming against him with all the English forces rebated his first forwardnesse and made him suspect all was not so well as he wished but yet animated by many superstitious presages and giuing all credit to his Bards and Rimers of which sort of people especially if I adde the Priests I will bee bolde to say thus much that they are the very bane and confusion of Ireland liuing in such obscenity and filthinesse that no Gentlewoman thinketh herselfe happy without them and supposeth it no disgrace euen to bee prostituted vnto them Insomuch that ill custome besides the intolerable yoke of superstition to which these people are out of measure addicted hauing got the vpperhand these insorcering wretches at marriages feasts births of children contracts burialls and peraduenture all their liues time challenge certaine priuiledges immunities and gifts yea priuacies with the women and imperious ouerruling the men So that as their families encrease in mightinesse these damnable creatures prosper in reputation as if all blessings depended vpon their incantations and prayers no action could thriue without their crossings and sanctifying So that in my conscience the most of the rebells and strumpets amongst them are the bastards of these rogues and vagabonds and all the treasons which haue turmoiled our Nation haue receiued life and originall from their imposturing and perswasions By this time is S r. Charles Blunt Lord Montioy confirmed Deputy of Ireland on whom long since the Queene had looked with respect for the same purpose But the Earle of Essex proposing to himselfe the managing of all military affaires somewhat couertly impugned the same extenuated his experience in the warres and that hee onely had a view of some skirmishes in the Low Countries Besides his spirit was not stirring enough to curb such a Nation as giuen ouer much to his booke and a kinde of retired melancholy rather fit for ciuill gouernment then violent hurliburlies All which wiped not yet out the print of her good opinion but shee went forward in her choyce and made the election more notable because her owne iudgement affoorded sufficient reason of his merit onely she proposed before him by way of caution my Lord of Essex wilfulnesse and in a manner presumption practizing diuers things against her liking and prescription and so alike restrained his commission and by word of mouth commanded his charines and wisdom concerning the knighting of men which must needes be vilipended brought once to a community as for any hinderances by the maleuolent aspect of single Councellours shee promised on her Princely word that shee would bee the Queene of her Kingdome and no man should contract a brow of mislike or preuaile in any secret information against him whereupon hee was much comforted and well hoped that that enmity which was whispered betweene M r. Secretary and him I meane S r. Robert Cecill might be easily reconciled and as it were like the swet of a mans browes wiped away with a gentle hand which accordingly came to passe For when certaine honest men performed good offices betweene them neuer man obserued such a Councellour of State better than my Lord did him nor such a greatnesse honoured a person in such an eminent place then M r. Secretary did my Lord so that to their dying dayes their friendship was indissoluble and as they loued one another so both respected the glory of their country before one another Thus without any publique ostentation or great attendancy in the month of February 1600. he tooke his iourney toward Ireland and was welcommed to our true-hearted English as you see a famous Physician presented to a sicke patient who hath long expected his comming For hee found Ireland so desperate languishing that he rather feared her funerals then recouery which must bee so at this instant considering the very best did droop with despaire and the worst insulted with pride Tyrone passed and repassed without controll and the Rebell had nothing in his mouth but the Spanish Inuasion and that Tyrone should bee the Prince of their Countrey vnder the Catholique King whereupon to exasperate the new Deputy and terrifie him at the first they gaue an assault to the suburbs of Dublin and the Alarum rung euen to the Castle where my Lord was resident which indeede so much incensed him that he resolued to intercept his returne out of Munster whatsoeuer chanced and so gathering together the rest of the dispersed forces and taking along such Gentlemen as came with him out of England he marched into Fereall for you must consider the maine army was with my Lord of Ormond in Munster and

colours of defiances which hee had supposed had beene layd aside for euer so that whole summer was spent in vnheard of hurliburlies and his returne into England procrastinated for a time nor was the busines so soone determined or the intricatenesse of this disturbance so easily vntied as many imagined For Waterford shut the gates stood vpon their guard and denied him entrance with his army vntill exasperated with the displeasure he read them such a lesson of martiall discipline that they well vnderstood a patard could blow open their gates a mine or battery ouerthrow their walls and such a Commander would not bee dallied withall when hee determined indeede to whip their treasons with an imperious authority and so hee proceeded accordingly pulling this high-looking head of innouation on her knees depressing the glory of their Maior and gouernment forfetting their liberties to the State and establishing S r. Richard Monson in the full authority of the city who most iudiciously for the time committed the keyes of the gates to the care and valour of Captaine Meres At Corcke they began more roughly demolishing the new Fort which was a building turning their ordnance against the castle of Shandon which they shot through when my Lady Carey was in it mustring their townesmen to the number of two thousand one or other with whom they resolued to man their walls and defend their ports and proceeded with a sauage immanity against diuers euen to the shedding of bloud that seemed to intercept or bee angry with their iollity and for all they had heard how Waterford was serued yet they durst say that Corcke was a stronger towne better manned and so well fortified that they knew my Lord Deputies preparations were not able to surprize them which hastned his speedinesse and encreased his anger so that they found their abused presumption quickly ouermastred and besides those which were slaine in the encounters my Lord hanged diuers and arraigned both the Maior and Recorder vpon high treason setting vpright againe both Shandon and the new Fort who at either end of the towne ouerlooke the same and can by this time batter their houses about their eares if they doe but repine or whisper against them From hence hee marched to Limricke but they growing wise by other mens harmes according to that good councell of Foelix quem faciunt aliena pericula cautum welcommed him that would haue welcommed himselfe and submitted to such directions as he enforced against them not without imprisoning certaine Priests and factious Citizens whom he detained in prison as he had done in the other places From hence he determined to visit Galloway but vnderstanding of their conformity hee put it in the accounts of true subiects and reputed her as a daughter of faire conditions and good behauiour notwithstanding he came to Athlone and wiping away all aspersions of rebellion as hee went he left them with fairer faces then they accustomed to haue to looke more cheerefully on his Deputy S r. George Cary the Treasurer at warres who enioying both places did proceede iudiciously in the ciuill administration as little troubled with any remarkable innouation the rest of the time of his commorance in the Countrey The next yeere our Deputy prepareth for England as made one of his Maiesties Priuy Councell Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and within a while created the Earle of Deuonshire with some donation of land and contribution of pensions to the eternall honour of such a Maiesty that would not let vertue shed a teare for sorrow that she was vnrespected comfort of all the monarchy that were the better animated to generous performances when they saw the Prince would regard them Thus is Tirone carried into England as the trophee of his former endeauours and victories But what a terrible reckoning the accounts of his treasons and vndutifull proceedings summed together euery man can tell which ouerlooked the same For the peoples hate as hee passed through Wales and other places was so enflamed against him that the women presumed to throw durt and stones at him and the spredding tree which couered him had much adoe to ouershadow and secure him from the malice and threats of such as railed vpon him yet with some adoe hath he safe conduct to the Court and our worthy King looking on him with the eyes of a noble commiseration quickly welcommed him with cheerefulnesse and as quickly by the fauour of Cyrus returned him as the Iewes to build vp the walls of broken and desolate Ierusalem so hee to reintegrate his estate repaire his castles and townes and settle himselfe in his enheritance as Lieutenant of the Countrey vnder the King and to gouerne the same after the manner of England By this time is S r. Arthur Chichester Lord Deputy who watched these parts of the North more narrowly then any other before him First because of his long experience and residence amongst them as being Gouernor of Knogfergus and a laborious searcher of Logh Con with all the territories adiacent Secondly in regard of the way open to the flourishes of peace when the Lords of the North saw such a vnity and consent of goodnesse by Tirones remission Thirdly in regard of his priuate loue in these parts to which was vnited a kind of feare obseruation of his vertue he had so demeaned himselfe before continued euer since Last of all by reason of straight directions from England to haue the Shires diuided with their orderly officers of Lieutenants and Iustices of peace euen amongst the meere Irish who neuer heard of such names and gouernment before to send out Iudges of Assise whose absolute authority was for the time supereminent aboue all others and to punish malefactours after our Law and fashion of England euen to the terrour of the greatest who vilipended the same or durst oppose against the inhibition to the contrary which when Tirone perceiued must be done indeede hee liued more discontented then euer and fraighted as it were with old stoage of malice and enuy studied euery houre how to cast off this intolerable yoake of obedience and not to suffer as he termed it another to sit Paramont in the tribunall of his Iudicatures So that according to our first simile of Cyrus returning the Iewes to Ierusalem you shall see how he kept correspondency in the same The Iewes surfeted of ease forgat their captiuity returned to lick vp the filth that their excesse had vomited yea so exasperated the displeasure of their great and good God that at last hee forsooke them indeede and stretched the strong armes of Vespasian and Titus to vnplume their iayes feathers and throw them forsaken ouer the world like dispersed vagabonds Tirone returneth home as you heard liueth at ease and pleasure surfetting of the same entertaineth his Priests hearkens to his Bards and Rimers is seduced to mislike this new gouernment denieth the Iudges of Assise entrance into his Countrey contesteth with the Deputy about the same although he euer acknowledged his worth and confessed that S r. Arthur Chichester had vnited many vertues to a Souldiers name secondeth the Earle of Terconnel in his repinings and alloweth of S r. Caher Odohordies contentions maligning our forwardnesse and successe when hee saw him lie bleeding on the ground and verily supposed that the burning of the Dery with the comming forward of Odonnell to forage the Countrey would haue made another Gordion to trouble all the Country again to vntie the knot But as God would haue it there is another Alexander to fulfill the prophesie or Oedipus to dissolue the riddle who with a sword in his hand can cut it in peeces so that these new Rebells are discomfited and such a blast of displeasure is blowne against Dungannon as the North-east winde that strucke the foure corners of Iobs eldest sonnes house and quite ouerthrew it to the destruction of the people within For when my Lord Deputy saw no other remedy but that Tamberlaines blacke flagg must needes be set vp the white and the red quite refused he hasted with fire and sword into the North and not onely tertified this rebellious Lord with all his Complices but compelled them to abandon their castles houses and inheritances taking absolute possession for his new Master the King of Great Brittaine and incorporated them to the Crowne so firmely and perpetually that no fine and recouery of their rebellious power should or could disanull the contract or frustrate the deed for England presently seased on the same and like a true Lord and powerfull Commander placed better tenants and diuided the Countrey into seuerall mens hands yea enfeoffed the City of London with such a right that I am perswaded all the Irish in the world or Irish Coadiutors will neuer be able to wrest it out of their hands Tirone being thus made the spectacle of misery by the incitement of certaine Priests flieth into Terconnell and contriueth with that Earle to forsake their Countrey and repaire to Rome where they might be sure to be shrowded vnder the Angells wings of the Castle S t. Angelo and blessed with the holy fathers entertainment from the affronts of all disturbance which accordingly with all conueniency they could they put in practise gathering together what treasure the Countrey affoorded and so with his wife and children Terconnells wife and young sonne and some fifty persons or attendants they shipped themselues and found sufficient friends and meanes to escape Thus like exiles forsaken dispersed and abandoned full of horrours of a guilty conscience vexed in soule by strange excruciations tormented with feare of being betrayed at home abashed at the shame of being entertained abroad and affrighted with the disaster of their lamentable deiection they are at length compulsed to hide themselues amongst the rotten reedes of Aegypt euen the Pope and his Consistory of Cardinalls as in their former determination where how his afflictions encreased and with what vexation of spirit hee eateth the repining bran of other mens corne that might haue fed on the fine flowre of his owne threshing I beleeue most trauellers know but am assured some tremble to behold the alteration so that for my selfe well acquainted with all his entertainments abroad and misfortunes at home as knowing him in Ireland and meeting him in Italy I may lawfully conclude Heu cadit in quenquam tantum scelus tanta iniquitas FINIS
