Thus at Lougsfoyle with these English foote and one hundred English horse together with fiue hundred Irish foote and one hundred Irish horse and the helpe of the Submitties especially of Neale Garne and of Cormocke Oneale It was thought that Sir Henry Dockewra might plant an intended garrison at Ballishannon as by his owne offer he had proiected in England and besides keeping his owne might also draw out sufficient forces to meete the Lord Deputy in the heart of Tyrone if the proiect of planting Ballishannon could take such effect as was hoped To the furtherance whereof I did at this time vpon his Lordships command deuise a Cipher to passe betweene his Lordship and the Gouernours of Loughfoyle Knockefergus and Lecaile to the end that if the rebels should light vpon any their letters contriuing this meeting or other seruice yet they might not be able to discouer any their secret purpose especially since they were so ignorant as they could not attaine the deciphering of those Characters or any like though farre more easie and this Cipher was presently sent to the aboue named Gouernours His Lordship further resolued in Councel to write to the Lords in England to haue six thousand of the trained bands in readines to be sent ouer presently vpon the suspected inuasion of forraigne powers and to haue a Magazin of victuals and munition at Limricke aswell to answere the seruice in Mounster if they should make discent in those parts being most likely as to be drawne thence to Galloway in case no such inuasion were made there to answere the prosecution of the Connaght rebels intended the Winter following All things thus proiected for the following prosecution of this warre his Lordship on the two and twentieth of May beganne his intended iourney aboue mentioned from Dublin and the twenty three came to Tredagh and the twenty fiue to Dundalke where his Lordship lay till the dispersed Companies could be draw nethither and victuals brought Here he composed all controuersies betweene the late Submitties and setled a correspondency betweene them aswell to make them concurre in the defence one of another as also in the defence of the Pale Here his Lordship receiued the twenty eight of May letters from the Lords in England requiring that no Captain should supply his Company with Passe-volants at pleasure but onely with such men as should bee sent out of England for supplies That the Captaines refusing to shew their companies when they were required by the Commissaries of the Musters should be checked two moneths pay That such Pensioners should be cheked as without speciall licence should be absent from any seruice
Deputy called a Counsel both of the Counsell of Ireland and of al the Colonels and chiefe Officers of the field and propounded to them that since it had pleased her Maiesty so graciously to supply vs with the matter and prouisions for the warre it was our parts to adulse of such a forme as might bee most likely to bring forth an effect not vnworthy her Princely care First our strength and meanes to attempt the place or continue the siege were thorowly considered and next the numbers and commodities of the enemy in the Towne and of their succours abroad The commodities and incommodities of proceeding with expedition or by keeping them from all relife were thorowly disputed and in the end it was concluded that the soundest course were to vse all meanes to inuest them as speedily as we might by possessing our selues of al they held without the Towne and next to mount our artillery in such places where it might annoy them most and by breaking downe their Houses to expose them to the same extremities of cold and raine as we were exposed to in the Campe by which meanes they might be reduced to a greater weakenesse and then be forced with much lesse hazard since when it comes to the point of entering of a breach there is little or no difference betweene a strong Towne and a weake for the besieged in either doe wholly trust to their new and sudden workes which the enemy within had as good opportunity to doe in this place as in any other and had yet of our knowledge so many hands to fight as that the aduantage would chiefly haue beene his The nineteenth day A Demy Cannon was vnshipped assoone as it was calme and placed on this side of the water which plaied most part of the day vpon the Castle Nyparke being a great reliefe to the besieged brake many places but made no breach that was assaultable In the night they of the Towne attempted to releeue the Castle by boates but were repelled by Captaine Tolkerne and Captaine Ward who lay with their Pinnaces betweene the Iland and the Towne Hitherto nothing could possibly bee attempted against the Towne more then had beene done For considering that the numbers of the defendants not onely equalled but by all report exceeded the number of the besiegers yea exceeded them farre after the Lord President was sent from the Campe to meete Tyrone with two thousand one hundred foot and three hundred and twenty horse and considering that if wee had vndertaken the carrying of approaches with a purpose to batter the whole Army must either haue been tired with watching night and day without shelter in tempestuous weather or disgracefully haue forsaken the worke or to say the best incurred the hazard of fight in places of disaduantage with an expert enemy And considering that the Countrey stood vpon such tickle tearmes and so generally ill affected to our side that almost the least blow which in the doubtfull euent of warre might haue lighted vpon vs would haue driuen them headlong into a generall reuolt And further that our Army consisted for a third part at the least of Irish who being not fit to make good an entrenched campe much lesse fit to giue vpon a breach would without question either presently haue quitted vs or turned their weapons against vs if the Spaniards had had any hand ouer vs and considering that in al sound iudgement this little army which was to be the soule of that body that should oppose it selfe against these inuaders and rebels was by all possible meanes to bee preserued as much as might be and not at all ventured but with manifest assurance to preuaile These things with other like circumstances considered what could there be more done during the time that we wanted our supplies and seconds but to assure our Campe with carefull watches against sallies or surprises of the Enemy and to inuest them from succours or reliefe not omitting in the meane time to prouide whatsoeuer might be needfull for the businesse in hand the meeting with all inconueniences and the taking of all aduantages vpon the Enemies guardes without the Towne for which purpose diuers skirmishes were made with very good successe on our part The Lyst of the Army at Kinsale the twentieth of Nouember The foot of the Lyst the seuen and twenty of October are 6900.

1601. The Lord President was desirous to goe ouer with this dispatch of pleasing newes to the Court but the Lord Deputy was loth to spare him till the Spaniards were gone and because the relation of this businesse much concerned his Lordships honour he thought it necessary to chuse a messenger as in other parts fit for the busines so especially sound to him in affection And for such he chose Sir Richard Moryson who had beene very inward with him till the death of the Earle of Essex at which time his Lordship began to grow something strange towards him in regard that M r Secretary had conceiued some displeasure against him about a passage of his dependancy on the said Earle yet his Lord P euer professed to continue his loue to him promised at some fit time to make his peace with Master Secretary To which purpose his Lordship chose this occasion concurring with his owne ends Onely his Lordship aduised Sir Richard Moryson to entreat the L. Presidents approbation of his carrying this packet to the said end so much importing him to which the Lord President very nobly gaue his consent and so hee was dispatched with the Lord Deputies and the Lord Presidents letters to Master Secretary of especiall recommendations on his behalfe Among his instructions he was directed at his first arriuall to repaire to Sir Oliuer Saint Iohns to learne of him the present estate of the Lord Deputies affaires in Court and that after they both should communicate their proceeding one with the other To an imaginary question why there was no vse made of the first breach at the North East gate of Kinsale hee was directed to answere that the first battery was chiesly intended to annoy the Spaniards by beating downe the houses and to take from them the vse of some places whence they might annoy vs. That when by beating downe the gate we had made a breach we found it not yet to be attempted but made neerer approaches whereupon the Spaniards made their strong salley both vpon our approches and vpon our Cannou and the next day wee had intelligence that Tyrone Odonnell and all the Rebels were encamped so neere vs as if wee had ingaged our selues in that worke and in the garding of our Cannon so far out of the Campe they might in three houres haue fallen vpon vs on all sides with great aduantage which made vs draw the Cannon into the Campe and to leaue that worke chusing rather to inuest them close on the West side which before lay open so as they might easily that way receiue succours from the rebels and ioine with their forces Further the reasons were set downe which moued the Lord Deputy and the Counsell to make composition with Den Iean namely our weakenesse and the enemies strength since our Army by sickenesse runawayes and death was fallen to be almost as weake as at the first sitting downe whereas the Spaniards were more now then three thousand men by Pole the sufferings of a Winters siege falling more vpon vs in the field then vpon them in the Towne Besides if we had taken Kinsale by force our Army could not possibly haue marched into the Westerne parts possessed by other Spaniards till it had beene refreshed and till we had new supplies of victuals and munition which could not easily arriue Easterly winds in Winter being very rare vpon this Coast. Besides that ere we could haue forced the Spaniards in the West in all likelihood new spanish supplies would haue arriued and the taking of those remote places would haue beene more difficult and dangerous then that of Kinsale and the King of Spaine would haue bin ingaged in a long war which by this composition is like to be ended Besides our Army consisted much of Irish vnfit for such seruice as the entring of a breach so as therein we must of necessity haue vsed our old English companies where in all probability we must haue lost great part they being esteemed by the Spaniards themselues as gallant fellowes as euer they met and such as in truth the losse of them would be formany yeeres vnrepairable And if wee had beene repulsed with any blow giuen vs we had reason to doubt that all the Irish yea those of our Army would haue turned their swords against vs yea if the breach had beene entered the Towne of Kinsale being built all of stone the Spaniards in the houses would haue made vs new worke no lesse difficult then the former Moreouer sixe of our Peeces for battery were crased so as wee could not make any more then one breach and the Spaniards hauing so many hands and so large scope of ground within might easily haue stopped one gap against vs And if we could haue made diuers breaches yet we had not powder and bullets sufficient for that purpose and for the small shot besides that our men were so wasted as they could not guard diuers batteries neither had wee sufficient inginers for that purpose So that howsoeuer we stood vpon tearmes that Don Iean should leaue his munitions and treasure to her Maiesty yet finding him make obstinate opposition thereunto we were forced for the aboue named reasons and many like to make this present composition Likewise among the instructions diuers reasons were set downe mouing Don Iean to make the said composition namely the malice he and the Spaniards generally had conceiued against the Irish in whose aid they too late discouered no confidence could Iudicially bee placed And for that they comming to succour Tyrone and Odonnell could neuer see any such men saying that they were not In rerum naturas that is existent Also for that Don Iean hauing instructions to keepe the field and not to defend Kinsale now since the ouerthrow of the Irish had no hope to be able to come into the field Moreouer that his best men in this long siege were spent in continuall watches and his new men grew weake with feeding onely vpon ruske Further his desire to disingage the King his Master from a warre wherein he had little probability to preuaile in respect of the small or no assistance which he conceiued might be expected from the Irish. Also for that the treasure he brought being at the first but one hundred thousand duckets was in great part exhausted by paying the souldiers sixe pence per diem and the Commanders their entertainements so as by the remainder he had no hope to worke any reuolt among the Irish or to giue satisfaction to the couetous humours of those already in rebellion The nine and twentieth of Ianuary the Lord Deputy and Counfell here wrote to the Lords in England this following letter MAy it please your Lordships Since our last dispatch by Sir Richard Moryson here hath no extraordinary matter happened that might giue vs iust cause now so soone to write againe were it not that it pleased your Lordships in your last to blame our slacknesse that of late we wrote too seldome

Next is the 10 Iland called Enhly by the Welsh Britans and Berdsey as the I le of Birds by the English wherein they report that twenty thousand Saints lie buried Next lies 11 Mona that is the shadowed or dusky Iland which after many yeeres being conquered by the English was by them called Anglesey as the Iland of the English It is a most noble Iland the old seate of the Druides Priests so called of old and so fruitfull as it is vulgarly called the Mother of Wales the cheefe Towne whereof is Beaumarish Neere that lies 12 Prestholme that is the Priests Iland whereof the Inhabitants and Neighbours make incredible reports for the multitude of Sea Fowle there breeding Next followes 13 Mona or Monoeda as the farther Mona which we call the I le of Man the Inhabitants whereof are like the Irish in language and manners but haue something of the Norway men It yeeldes abundantly Flaxe and Hempe hath pleasant Pastures and Groues and is fruitfull of Barly Wheate and especially of Oates the people feeding on Oaten bread in all parts are multitudes of Cattle but it wants wood and for fier vseth a kind of Turffe Russia which of the Castle we call Castle-Towne is the cheefe Towne and hath a Garrison of Souldiers but Duglas is the most frequented and best inhabited Towne because it hath an excellent Hauen easie to be entered In the Westerne part Bala-curi is the seate of the Bishop vnder the primacy of the Archbishop of Yorke and there is the Fort called the Pyle wherein a garrison of Souldiers is kept Vpon the Southerne Promontory lies a little Iland called the Calfe of Man which aboundeth with Sea Birds called Puffins and a kind of Duckes engendered of rotten wood which the English call Barnacles In generall the Inhabitants haue their proper Tongue and Lawes and had their proper Coyne They abhorre from stealing and from begging and are wonderfully religious generally and most readily conforming themselues at this day to the Church of England and the people in the Northerne part speake like Scots and in the Southerne part like Irish. Edwin King of Northumberland subdued the Northerne people and subiected them to the Crowne of England yet with many changes of Fortune this Iland long had their owne Kings euen since the Normans conquered England and since the time that Iohn King of England passing into Ireland by the way subdued this Iland about the yeere 1210 till the Kingdome came to the Scots in the yeere 1266.

Papists his friends Further in his nature he was a close concealer of his secrets for which cause least they should be reuealed and because he loued not to be importuned with suites a free speaker or a popular man could not long continue his fauorite He was sparing in speech but when he was drawne to it most iudicious therein if not eloquent He neuer vsed swearing but rather hated it which I haue seene him often controle at his Table with a frowning brow and an angry cast of his blacke eye He was slow to anger but once prouoked spake home His great temper was most scene in his wise carriage betweene the Court factions of his time He was a gentle enemy easily pardoning and calmely pursuing reuenge and a friend if not cold yet not to be vsed much out of the high way and something too much reserued towards his dearest Minions besides that the strength of his iudgement made him so confident as they had more power in seconding his Counsels then in diuerting or altering them To his seruants he was milde seldome reprouing them and neuer with ill words for his looke of displeasure was sufficient to checke them and the best sort nearest him did so well know him as they serued and obserued him as much almost by his lookes as his words He made no seruant partner of his secrets further then his place necessarily gaue him knowledge thereof neither could any of them leade him or if any did it was more by art to know his humours then power to sway them I cannot say that he was bountifull to them some of their places drew profit which could no more be stopped then the Miller can stay the draining of his water through his damme gates otherwise his gifts to them were rare and sparing so as if it were aboue an hundred pound it was no morsell for a seruant yet still he kept their hopes so greene as might continue their diligence and at his death he gaue a thousand pound by will to be diuided by his executors discretion among them They who had his care might easily season him with good or ill opinion of his seruants and strangers by reason he dranke in their speeches without vttering them onely his iudgement was excellent to discerne the truth of the relation aswell out of the informers passions as obseruing the others actions He kept his word in publike affaires inuiolably without which he could neuer haue beene trusted of the Irish but otherwise in his promises he was delatory and doubtfull so as in all euents he was not without an euasion Lastly in his loue to Weomen for as wanton peace succeeds bloody warre so in the last period of his life after the Irish warres griefe of vnsuccessfull loue brought him to his last end He was faithfull and constant if not transported with selfe-loue more then the obiect and therein obstinate This worthy Lord Mountioy was he whose knowne valour sound wisdome graue constancy and singular temper two old Counsellers of Ireland well obseruing did on their death bed as it were by diuining faculty pronounce to be the man by whom Tyrones fatall rebellion in which their thoughts and endeuours had long beene wearied was to be suppressed if euer the English were to recouer the helme of that gouernement Neither did their presage deceiue vs herein for like another Fabius he did by the ensuing deliberate and slow counsels restore his Countries declining power 1. He entertained cherished especially at his first entering the gouernment when he was yet vnskilfull in the affaires of that State and warre all actiue spirits whose endeuours he saw like to be of good vse in that great action and this he did rather with a pleasing familiarity then with any large bounty 2. The hearts of the English common souldiers broken with a currant of disasterous successes he heartned and incouraged by leading them warily especially in his first actions being more carefull that our men should not bee foiled then that the rebels should be attempted with boldnesse To this end also and that he might bee euer at hand as well to incourage and direct them fighting as to second them by any accident dismaied he brauely aduentured his person more then in the opinion of Militarie wise men a Generall should ordinarily hazard himself howsoeuer I must confesse the nature of the Irish fights maintained vpon passages by sudden eruptions of hidden rogues doth more expose the Generall to these dangers then any other warre And such was his forwardnesse as his Lordships seruants may without offence boldly say they were a small part of this great action For howsoeuer we had neither stipend in the warres with the souldier nor pensions with them after the warre ended yet by reason of this our Lords extraordinarie forwardnesse to put himselfe into danger and for that the Rebels vse most commonly to assault-vpon Woody paces and difficult passages where euery man must needes be in danger and they most who ride in the best troope it could not be but that we should haue our share in the aduenture of our persons And lest I should sceme to arrogate that to my selfe and my fellowes which is not due to vs the euent may cleare this point Since in this short warre not to speake of many lesse dangers my Lord himselfe had his horse shot vnder him his Galloglasse carrying his helmet had the same brused with the grasing of a bullet vpon it yea his Lordships very Grayhound likewise vsing to waite at his stirrop was shot through the body Among his Lordships Chaplaines Doctor Lattwara was killed and Mast. Ram had his horse shot vnder him Among his Lordships Secretaries Master Cranmer was killed and my selfe had my thigh brused with a shot I receiued in my saddle Among the Gentlemen of his Lordships Chamber Master Chidley had his horse killed vnder him Master Done was shot in the legge and Master Saint Iohn a Gentleman attending neere his Lordship was killed I haue heard a pleasant report of a Generall in our age who on the contrary was so sparing to hazard himself as a Gentlemā his follower hearing some maruel at a cold peece of seruice performed by his Mast merily replied for his own excuse that he went to follow his General and not to go before him But I wil boldly say that if our noble Lords followers did well attend his person they found danger enough without seeking it But enough and I feare too much of this point I will now returne to this worthy Lords Counsels by which he effected this great worke 3. The Rebels being swolne to the height of pride by their full numbers and much more by continuall successe in their actions hee proceeded in like sort with them as formerly with his owne men at the first warily tasting them with light skirmishes yet he so prudently and brauely pursued his attempts as he stil caried what he atempted 4.
