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
