IRELAND, AS IT VVAS, AND IS INHABITED, THE SITE AND COMMODITIES OF THE 1LAND DESCRIBED AND DECLARED.

* 1.1THE Traditions of time have deli∣vered unto us divers names, where∣by this famous Island is recorded to have been called: yet none of more faire probabilitie, then that of Or∣pheus, Aristotle, and Claudian, by whom it is named Ierna: by Iuve∣nall and Mela called Inverna: by Diodorus Siculus,* 1.2 Iris: by Martian of Heraclea, Ioyepnia: by Eustachius, Oyernia, and Bernia: by the native Inhabitants, Erya: by the Britaines, Yuerdon: the Welsh-bards in their Ballads, Triuolas Totidanan, and Banno: and by the English, Ireland. But from whence these diversities were derived, arise many opinions. Doubtlesse it is, that Hibernia, Inver∣na and Overnia, came from Ierna, spoken of by Orpheus and Aristotle;* 1.3 and the same Ierna, as also Iris, Iuerdhon, and Ire∣land, and Erin, the terme that the Inhabitants now use. From this Erin therefore (a word proper to the Nation) the originall is most likely to be deduced.

(2) Some derive Hibernia from Hiberno tempore, that is, from the Winter season; some from Hiberus a Spaniard; some from a Duke named Irnalph;* 1.4 some againe from the ancient River Iberus, and some from Hiere, an Irish word, which signifieth the West, or a westerne coast, whence E∣rin may also seeme to fetch the derivation: for it lyeth fur∣thest Westward of any Region in all Europe. As also for that the River running in the most remote West part of this I∣land, is in Ptolemy called Iernus: like as the furthest western Promontory in Spaine,* 1.5 from whence our Irish men came, is by Strabo called Ierne, and the River next unto it, by Mela, Ierna:* 1.6 yea, and Spaine it selfe, for the Westerne situation, is called Hesperia: the West-Cape of Africke, Hesperium; and in Germany, Westrich and Westphanlen from their posi∣tion have their names.* 1.7 Postelius (a man that rather followed his owne fancy, then the judgement of others) fetcheth the originall of Ireland from the Hebrewes, as if Irin should be as much as Iurin, that is, the Iewes land: which opinion I hold no better,* 1.8 then those that would have it from the Winter-like stormes, although upon every winde the ayre is cold there.

* 1.9(3) Festus Avienus, in that little book which he inti∣tuled Orae maritimae, calleth Ireland, Sacram Insulam, that is, the holy Iland: to which opinion the people are soone drawne, by reason of the many Saints that the Iland is said to produce,* 1.10 and the blessed soyle that affords no venemous creatures to retaine life. It is thought that Plutarch meant Ireland by his Ogygia, for her great antiquitie; and of latter times by Isidore and Bede it was called Scotia,* 1.11 of those Scots that inhabited it: and that thence the name of Scotland, to∣gether with the Scots themselves, came into Britaine.

(4) For largenesse and circuit, in times past, this Iland challenged the third place in ranke of all the Iles of the then knowne world:* 1.12 for thus have Geographers left us, that the Indian Taproban for greatnesse was the first, the Ile of Bri∣taine the next, and this of Ireland the third: and for that cause doth Ptolemy call it the little Britaine. But howsoever Stra∣bo hath extended the breadth, as broad as the length, and o∣thers have formed it in shape like an egge, yet latter dimen∣sions have found it far otherwise, twice longer then broad, and may be compared to the forelegge of a Beare, if the Si∣mile breed no offence.* 1.13 Whose East side hath on it that tem∣pestuous Sea that cutteth her channell betwixt England and this Ireland: the West is washed with the westerne Ocean; the North with the Deucaledonian; and the South with the Verginian Sea.

* 1.14(5) The ayre of this Iland is delectable and wholesome, though neither so cleare nor subtile as is ours of England, which (as Mela saith) is nothing favourable for the ripen∣ing of Corne:* 1.15 but so gratefull to the ground, that it causeth grasse to grow abundantly,* 1.16 not onely fresh and long, but withall very sweet for all Cattle, and in winter is more subject to winde then snow: and that I may use the words of Giraldus,* 1.17 It is of all Countries most temperate, neither for∣cing the Inhabitants to seek shade from the frying heat of Can∣cer, nor the chilling cold of Capricorn to drive them to the fire, but at all seasons most milde, betwixt a sufferable cold, and gentle warme heat.

(6) The soyle (saith Cambreusis) is uneven,* 1.18 wooddy, wilde, waterish and boggie, so full of Loghs and Meeres, that great ponds of water are found upon the high Moun∣taines. These indeed make the places somewhat dangerous unto all new commers, by breeding of rheums,* 1.19 dysenteries and fluxes, whose usuall remedie is Vskebah, a wholesome Aqua vitae, that drieth more, and enflameth lesse, then many other hot confections.

(7) The commodities of this Kingdome chiefly consist in Cattle,* 1.20 whose feed is so sweet and so ranke, that they will soone graze to a surfeit, if they may be suffered to feed as they will.* 1.21 Their sheepe are many, but beare not the best wooll, which twice are shorne within one yeare. Of these they make Mantles,* 1.22 Caddowes, and Coverlets, vented from thence into forraine Countries. Their Hobbies likewise are of great esteeme,* 1.23 and are answerable to the Iennets of Spaine. Bees there are in such abundance, that hony is found in holes of old trees,* 1.24 and in re••ts of the rocks. No annoy∣ance of hurtfull Snake or venemous creatures; and to speake all in a word, nothing wanting for profit or pleasure: for so much doth Giraldus affirme, in saying, that Nature had cast into this Westerne Kingdome of Zephyrus a more gracious eye then was ordinary.

(8) Touching the originall peopling of this faire Iland, if you will beleeve their records,* 1.25 they make Antiquitie it selfe but young unto themselves, affirming the damsell Caesarea, and niece unto Noah, to have found it out before the Floud; and that three hundred yeares after; when Ia∣phets posteritie tooke into these West-parts of the world, one Bartholanus of his Progeny, a Scythian by birth, encou∣raged by the late successe of Nimrod (who now had intru∣ded upon the Monarchy of Syria) wandred so farre West,* 1.26 that Fortune at last cast him and his people upon the coast of Ireland. There he setled with his three sonnes, Languin∣na, Salanus,* 1.27 and Ruthurgus, who searching through every creeke and corner of the land, left their owne names by three notable places, Languini, Stragrus, and Mount Salan∣ga, which the revolution of times hath since called by other names, as S. Domincke-hill, Ruthurgi, and Stagnum. Vnder the government of these three sonnes, and their off-spring, this Land was kept about three hundred yeares; at which time there arrived also in Ireland a Giant-like kinde of peo∣ple of Nimrods race,* 1.28 who in bodily shape exceeded the pro∣portion of usuall men, using their strength to winne sove∣raignties, and to oppresse with rapine and violence. These growing to numbers, accounted it necessary to prevent dominion, lest the curse of slavery (prophecied by Noah) should light upon them: to prevent the which, they set up a King of their owne; then quarrels bred daily, either par∣ties purposing to hold their interest by their swords: a∣gainst whom, lastly a battle was fought, and an infinite company of Giants slaine; when also died most of those of the posteritie of Iapheth, leaving them of Cham Lords of the Iland.

(9) Whereupon Nemethus a Scythian, with his foure sonnes,* 1.29 arrived in Ireland, and by strong hand seated themselves among these Giants; where for two hun∣dred and sixty yeares they kept, but then no longer able to hold out against them, they left their standings, and de∣parted the Land.

(10) Soone after, the five sonnes of Dela, descended from the said Nemethus,* 1.30 came into these coasts, and with manly prowesse drove these miscreants out of Ireland, whereby the seede of Cham was utterly expelled, and these of Iapheth divided the Land into five parts, where∣of they became themselves Kings: but falling at variance, gave advantage unto others, among whom the Britaines set in a foote.

(11) But to make this Iland more famous, certaine Hi∣storians have fetched their Kings from most uncertain Re∣cords, as namely from Gaothel the Grecian,* 1.31 and Scota, (the daughter of King Pharaoh, and nourisher of Moses) his wife: who at that time, when Israel were in Egypt, with a

THE KINGDOME OF IRLAND Devided into severall Provinces, and thē againe devided into Counties Newly described.

Colony, came into Spain, and after into Ireland, where he was made King,* 1.32 and in honour of his Queene, the land na∣med Scotia, from whom also the Inhabitants tooke name: his posteriti•• increasing in the parts of Spaine, where first they had seated,* 1.33 in processe of time sought further adven∣tures under the foure so••nes of Milesius King of Spaine, whose names were Hibernus, Hermion, Euer, and Erimon.

(12) These, by the direction, sufferance, and assistance of Gurguntius, King of the Britaines, after that Ireland had beene very much dispeopled by a contagious Pestilence, seated themselves, and from the eldest, Hibernus, called the Island Hibernia, as some are of opinion: these divided the whole into five Provinces,* 1.34 famously known by the names of Mounster, Leinster, Connaught, Vlster, and Meath in their midst: and from these the present Irish repute themselves to come. Yet surely, as I make no question, but that this Island became inhabited even of old time, when mankind againe over-spread the face of the earth, so doubt I not, but that our Britains passed thereinto themselves, such infinite num∣ber of words in the Irish language yet in use,* 1.35 such ancient names of Waters, Isles, Mountaines, and Places, meerely British words, yet remaining, and the testimony of Tacitus, who saith, that their manners were fashioned to the Bri∣taines, inforceth so much; and Ptolemie before him, calleth that Island by the name of Little Britaine: all which shew a former interest for Ireland, then that which by conquest un∣der Henry the second was made.

* 1.36(13) That it ever was subject to the Romanes, is doubt∣full, though Agricola did wish it, and Tacitus held most ne∣cessary: yea, and in the division of their Empire, Ireland, with Britaine and Thule, fell unto Constantine the sonne of Constantine the great; yet their manners unreclaimed, and barbarisme retained long after those dayes, doe witnesse no such civilitie sowne, to be in that plot. But when Romes great Empire beganne to grow lesse, the Scots or Scythians grew mighty in Ireland:* 1.37 and as Or••sius writeth, that Island was wholly inhabited by the Scottish Nation in the daies of Honorius and Arcadius, the Emperours: whose warres and slaughter, Claudian doth lightly touch in this his Verse.

Scotorum cumulos flevit glacialis Ierne. The frozen Ireland wept to see, her Scots all slaine on heapes to be.

(14) As these for the most part, by the testimonie of Ninius,* 1.38 were the ancient Inhabitants, so by other ancient Writers, their customes and manners are thus set forth: Strabo saith, The Inhabitants of Ireland are more rude then the Britaines, they feed upon the flesh of men, yea, and think it a point of worth to eat their dead parents: want ōly they accompa∣ny with Women, making no difference of other mens wives, their owne sisters, nor of their naturall mothers: but of these things (saith he) we have no certain witnesse of sufficient credit. Pom∣ponius Mela recordeth,* 1.39 that the Irish are uncivill, ignorant of vertues, and void of Religion. And Solinus affirmeth, that af∣ter victory they drink the bloud of the slain, and be smeare their own faces therewith; so given to warre, that the mother at the birth of a man-child, feedeth the first meat into her infants mouth, upon the point of her husbands sword, and with hea∣thenish imprecations, wisheth that it may die no otherwise then in warre, or by sword.

(15) But from these ancient and barbarous manners, let us come to the conditions of their middle time; whom Giraldus Cambrensis describeth as followeth:* 1.40 The Irish (saith he) are a strong and bold people, martiall and prodigall in war, nimble stout, and haughtie of heart; carelesse of life but greedy of glory; courteous to strangers, constant in love, light of be∣lief, impatient of iniury, given to fleshly lusts, and in enmity im∣placable. At the baptizing of their infants, their manner was, not to dip their right armes into the water,* 1.41 that so (as they thought) they might give a more deep and incurable blow; never calling them by the names of their Parents whilest they lived together, but at their death took it upon them. Their women nursed not the children they bare; and they that nursed others, did affect and love them much more then their owne.

* 1.42(16) So much were they given to fantasti∣call conceits, that they held it very ominous to give their neighbours fire upon May-day: to eat an odde egge, endangered the death of their horse: and before they cast in their seed, they send salt into the field: to hang up the shels in the roofe, was a preservative of the chickens from the kite: to set up greene boughes at their doores in the Moneth of May, increased their kines milke: and to spit upon Cattle, the held it good against Witchery, whereof Ireland was full.

* 1.43(17) Superstitious Idolatry among the wild Irish was common, yeelding divine honour unto the Moone after the change, unto whom they both bowed their knees, and made supplications; and with a loud voice would thus speake un∣to that Planet:* 1.44 We pray thee leave us in as good estate as thou found'st us. Wolves they did make their Godsips, terming them Charl Christ, and so thought themselves preserved from their hurts: the hoofes of dead horses they accounted and held sacred: about childrens necks the hung the begin∣ning of Saint Iohns Gospel, a crooked naile of an horse∣shooe, or a peece of a Wolves skinne; and both the sucking-child and nurse were girt with girdles finely platted of wo∣mens haire: so far they wandred into the wayes of errour, in making these armes the strength of their healths.

(18) Their wives were many,* 1.45 by reason of divorce∣ments, and their maids married at twelve yeares of age, whose customes were to send their lovers, bracelets plat∣ted, and curiously wrought of their owne haire, so farre fol∣lowing Venus in the knots of these allurements.* 1.46 The men wore linnen shirts exceeding large, stained with Saffron, the sleeves wide, and hanging to their knees, strait and short trusses plated thick in the skirts, their breeches close to the thighes, a short skeine hanging point downe before, and a mantle most times cast over their heads.* 1.47 The women wore their haire platted in curious manner, hanging downe their backs and shoulders, from under solden wreathes of sine linnen, rolled about their heads, rather loading the wearer then delighting the beholder: for as the one was most seem∣ly, so the other was unsightly: their necks were hung with chains and carkaneths, their armes wreathed with many bracelets, and over their side-garments the shagge-rugge mantles purfled with a deepe Fringe of divers colour••: both sexes accounting idlenesse their onely libertie, and ease their greatest riches.

(19) In warres they were forward,* 1.48 and fought with Battle-axes, whose bearers were called Galloglasses, the com∣mon souldier but lightly armed, who served with darts and sharpe skeines; their Trumpet was a Bag-pipe, and word for encounter, Pharroh; which at the first onset with great acclamation they uttered,* 1.49 and he that did not, was taken in∣to the ayre, and carried into the vale of Kerry, where trans∣formed (as they did beleeve) he remained untill he was hunted with hounds from thence to his home.

(20) For the dying and dead they hired women to mourne,* 1.50 who expostulated with the sick, why he would die; and dead, at his Funerall such outcries were made, such clapping of hands, such howlings and gestures, that one would thinke their sorrowes unrecoverable, holding the opinion of Pythagoras for the soules departed.

(21) Their diet in necessitie was slender,* 1.51 feeding upon water-cresses roots, mushromes, shamrogh, butter tempe∣red with oat-meale, milke, whey, yea, and raw flesh, the bloud being crushed out: their use was also to let their kine bloud, which standing a while, and coming to a jelly, with butter they did eate, as a very good dish.

(22) That the Gospel of Christ should be preached in Ireland by Iames the Apostle,* 1.52 I will not affirme, though Vincentius hath said it:* 1.53 neither will I, with the Scots, bring the Islands conversion from a Christian woman, who (as their Historians doe avouch) first instructed the Queene, and the Queene her husband, and he againe his Subjects, till all became Christians. But most true it is that the Scots first received the doctrine of Christ in this Kingdom of Ire∣land; for thus writeth Prosper:* 1.54 Coelestine Pope of Rome sent his Archdeacon Palladius into Britain to withstand the Pela∣gian heresie, who at one time did drive out these enemies of grace,* 1.55 and ordained a Bishop among the Scots, Wherby that bar∣barous Nation embraced Christianity.* 1.56 Yet Ninius reporteth, that Palladius did nothing in neither, being taken away by untimely death: but that S. Patricke, borne at Eiburne in Cluedsdale, the son of Calphurus, by the sister of S. Martin, was the first Apostle for Ireland, who sowed his heavenly seede with such plentifull increase, that the soyle it selfe shortly was called Sanctorum patria,* 1.57 the Country of Saints: for whose Sepulchre after his death rose as great variance, as was for Homer among them of Greece:* 1.58 they of Downe challenged his grave to be with them, upon certaine verses▪ written on a Tombe, which ascribes Patricke, Briget and Columbe to be buried therein: they of Armagh lay claime by the warrant of S. Bernard, who saith, that Patricke in his life time there ruled, and after death there rested. Glascenbury in England by ancient records will have his body interred with them; and Scotland avoucheth his birth to be at Glasco, and bones to rest at Kirk Patricke with them: of such reve∣rend esteeme was this Irish Apostle.

(23) This Patricke in his youth had been taken captive by the Irish Pirats,* 1.59 and for sixe years continuance served Mac∣buain as his slave, and keeper of his swine: in which dejected condition, so desirous he was of the Lands salvation: that in his dreames he thought the infants unborne cried unto him for Baptisme; and redeeming himselfe thence for a piece of gold found in the field, which a swine had turned up, in his aged years came back againe into Ireland, preached the Go∣spel, converted the people, and lastly became Arch-bishop of Armagh. Of whose mi••••cles and Purgatorie, I leave o∣thers to speake; that are m••re credulous in the one, and have better leisure to relate the other, and will shew thee Ireland as now it is, first in generall, and then in parts.

THis Province, called in Irish, Mown; in a more ordinary construction of speech,* 1.60 Wown▪ in Latine, Momonis; and in English, Mounster; lyeth open South-ward to the Verg••vian Sea:* 1.61 North-ward, it affront∣eth part of Counaught:* 1.62 The East is neigh∣boured by Leinster:* 1.63 and the West is al∣together washed with the West Ocean.* 1.64

* 1.65(2) The length thereof extended from Ballatimore Bay in her South, un∣to the Bay of Galway in her North, are about ninetie miles. Her broadest part from East to West,* 1.66 is from Waterford Haven to Feriter Haven, and containeth an hundred miles. The whole circumference, by following the prom••taries and indents, are above five hundred and fortie miles.

* 1.67(3) The forme thereof is quadrant or foure-square. The aire milde and temperate,* 1.68 neither too chilling cold, nor too scorching hot. The soyle in some parts is hilly,* 1.69 looking aloft with woody, wilde, and solita∣ry mountaines:* 1.70 yet the vallies below are garnished with corne-fields. And generally, all, both pleasant for sight, and fertile for soyle.

* 1.71(4) This Province is at this day divided into two parts: that is, the West Mounster, and the South Mounster. The West Mounster was inha∣bited in old time by the Luccui,* 1.72 the Velabri,* 1.73 and the Vicrim:* 1.74 the South Mounster by the Oudiae or Vodiae, and the Coriondi. The Velabri and Lu∣ceni are said (by Orosius) to have dwelt in that part of the Countrey, where it lyeth outmost Westward,* 1.75 and passing towards the Cantabrian Ocean, looketh afarre off to Gallitia in Spaine The Luceni of Ire∣land (who seeme to have derived their name and originall from the Lucensii of Gallitia, and of whom there still remaine some reliques in the Barony of Lyxnauw) are supposed to have been seated in those parts that lie neighbouring upon the banke of the River Shennon.* 1.76

(5) The generall commodities of this Province are Corn••, Cattle, Wood,* 1.77 Wooll, and Fish. The last whereof, it affords in every place plentie and abundance of all sorts. But none so well knowne for the store of Herrings that are taken there, as is the Promontorie cal••ed Eraugh,* 1.78 that h•• betweene Bantre and Ballatimore Bay, whereunto every yeare a great Fleet of Spaniards and Portugals resort (even in the mid∣dest of Winter) to fish also for Gods.

(6) The principall Citie of the Province is Limericke, which the Irish call Lowneagh, compassed about with the famous River Shennon, by the parting of the Channell.* 1.79 This is a Bishops See, and the very Mart-Towne of Mounster. It was first wonne by Reymond le Grosse an Englishman, afterwards burnt by Dunewald an Irish petty King of Thuet∣mond. Then in processe of time, Philip Breos an Englishman was in∣••••offed in it, and King Iohn fortified it with a Castle, which he caused therein to be built.* 1.80 In this Castle certaine Hostages making their a∣bode in the yeare 1332. grew (as is reported) so full of pride and insolencie,* 1.81 that they slew the Constable thereof, and seized the Castle into their own hands. But the resolute Citizens, that could neither brooke nor beare with such barbarous crueltie, did in revenge then shew such manly courage and vivacitie, as they soone after recovered the Castle againe,* 1.82 repaying the Hostages in such hostile manner, as that they put them all to the sword without partialitie. The position of this Towne is by Mercator placed for Latitude 53. degrees 20. minutes; and for Longitude, 9. degrees and 34. minutes. Neere unto the Ri∣ver that Ptolemy calleth Daucona, and Giraldus Cambre••sis (by the al∣teration of some few letters) nameth Sauranus and Sauarenus, which issueth ••ut of Muskerey Mountaines,* 1.83 is seated the Citie Corke, graced also with another Episcopall dignitie▪ (and with the Bishops See of Clon annexed unto it) which Giraldus calleth Corragia, the Englishmen Corke, and the native Inhabitants of the Countrey Corcach.* 1.84 This Towne is so beset on every side with neighbouring, mole••t••rs, as that they are still constrained to keep•• watch and ward, as it there lay continuall siege against it. The Citizens of this place are all linkt together in some one or other degree of affinitie,* 1.85 for that they dare not match their daugh∣ters in marriage into the Countrey, but make contracts of matrimony one with another among themselves. In this place, that holy and reli∣gious man Briock is said to have his birth and breeding, who flourished among the Gaule, in that fruitfull age of Christianitie, and from whom the Diocesse of Sanbrioch in Britanie Armori••a, commonly called S. Brieu, had the denomination.

* 1.86(7) The Citie which the Irish and Britaines call Porthlargy, and the English, Waterford, though it be last in place, yet is it not least in ac∣count, as being the second Citie of all Ireland, as well for the conveni∣ence and commodiousnesse of the Haven,* 1.87 that affords such necessary aptitude for trade and tra••••ique, as also for the faithfull loyaltie which it hath alwayes shewed to the Imperiall Crowne of England: for ever since it was wonne by Richard Earle of Pembroke, it still performed the obedience and peaceable offices of dutie andervice unto the English, as they continued their course in the conquest of Ireland: whence it is that the Kings of England have from time to time endowed it with ma∣ny large Franchises and l••berties,* 1.88 which King Henry the seventh did both augment and confirme.

* 1.89(8) Although since the time if S. Patricke, Christianitie was never extinct in this Countrey, yet the government being haled into contrary factions, the Nobilitie lawlesse, and the multitude wilfull, it hath come to passe, that Religion hath wa••ed (with the temporall common sort) more cold and feeble, being most of them very irreligious, and addicted wholly to superstitious observations:* 1.90 for in some parts of this Province, some are of opinion, that certaine men are yearely turned into Wolves, and made Wolfe-men. Though this hath been constantly affirmed by such as thinke their censures worthy to passe for currant and credible; yet let us suppose that happily they be possessed with the disease and ma∣ladie that the Physitians call Lycanthropi,* 1.91 which begetteth and engen∣dreth such like phantasies through the malicious humors of Melancho∣ly: and so oftentimes men imagine themselves to be turned and trans∣formed into formes which they are not. Some again embrace another ridiculous opinion,* 1.92 and perswade themselves, that he who in the barba∣rous acclamation and outc••y of the Souldiers, which they use with great forcing and straining of their voyces, when they joyne battell, doth not howte and make a noise as the rest doe,* 1.93 is suddenly caught from the ground, and carryed as it were flying in the aire, out of any Countrey of Ireland, into some desert vallies, where he feedeth upon grasse, drinketh water, hath some use of reason, but not of speech, is ignorant of the pre∣sent condition he stands in, whether good or bad: yet at length shall be brought to his own home, being caught with the helpe of Hounds and Hunters.* 1.94 Great pitie that the soule fiend and father of darknesse should so grievously seduce this people with misbeliefe, and that these c••rrours be not chased away with the truth of Christian Religion, whereby as they carry much grace in their countenance••, they may also not be void of the inward grace of their soules and understanding.

(9) This Province hath been sore wasted in the rebellions of Des∣mond,* 1.95 to whose aide Pope Gregory the thirteenth, and Philip K. of Spaine, sent certaine companies of Italians and Spaniards, who arrived not farre from Dingle, fortified themselves, and gave it the name of Fort de Ore, sounding loud threats against the whole Countrey.* 1.96 But Arthur Baron Grey, Lord Deputie of Ireland, at the first onset decided their quarrell, by sheathing his sword in their bowels; and Desmond ••earefully flying into the Woods, was by a Souldier cut shorter by the head. And againe, when the Kingdome of Ireland lay bleeding, and put almost to the haz∣zard of the last cast, Don Iohn D' Aquila, with eight thousand Spaniards (upon confidence of the excommunications of Pius the fift, Gregory the thirteenth, and Clement the eight, Popes, all of them discharging their curses like unto thunderbolts against Queene Elizabeth of blessed me∣mory) landed neere unto Kinsal••,* 1.97 presuming that the rebellions of Ty∣rone had turned the hearts of the Irish for Rome: Sir Charles Blunt Lord Montjoy, in the depth of Winter, and with his tired souldiers, so daunted their Spanish hearts, that with one victory he repressed their bragging boldnesse, and recovered the Irish that were ready to revolt.

(10) God hath oftentimes shewed his tender love and affection to this people, in laying his fatherly chastisements and afflictions upon them,* 1.98 sometimes by windes, sometimes by famine and dearth, and sometimes againe by opening his hand of plentie into their laps to con∣vert them to himselfe, and to divert their hearts from superstitions. In the yeare 1330. about the Feast of Saint Iohn Baptist,* 1.99 there began such a dearth of Corne in this Countrey, by the abundance of raine and the inundation of waters (which continued untill Michacimas following) that a Cranoc of Wheat was sold for twentie shillings,* 1.100 a Cranoc of Oates for eight shillings, a Cranoc of Pease, Beanes, and Barley for as much. The windes the same yeare were so mightie, that many were hurt, and many slaine ••ut-right by the fall of houses that was forced by the violence of the same. The like whereof were never seene in Ireland.* 1.101 In the yeare 1317. there was such a dearth of corne and o∣ther victuals, that a Cranoc of Wheat was sold for twentie three shil∣lings. And many Housholders, that before time had sustained and re∣lieved a great number, were this yeare driven to begge, and many fa∣mished. In the time of which famine, the mercy of God so disposed, that upon the 27. day of June,* 1.102 in the yeare 1331. there came to land such a mightie multitude of great Sea-fishes (that is) Thurs••eds, such as in many ages past had never been seene, that the people were much comforted in this distresse, and received great reliefe and sustenance by the same.

(11) Places of Religion in this Countrey,* 1.103 were the two Abbies at Yoghall, called the North-Abbey and South-Abbey: The two Abbies at Limcricke, S. Francis Abbey, and S. Dominicke Abbey: The two Abbies at Corke, the Abbey of the Ile, and S. Francis Abbey: and the famous Abbey (in times past) of the holy Crosse, which hath had many privi∣ledges and liberties granted unto it, in honour of a peece of Christs Crosse,* 1.104 that was (as they say) sometimes preserved there. Thus were Christians perswaded in ancient times. And it is a wonder in what Troopes and Assemblies people doe (even yet) conflow thither upon devotion, as unto a place of holinesse and sanctitie: so firmely are they setled in the Religion of their Fore-fathers,* 1.105 which hath been increased beyond all measure by the negligent care of their Teachers, who should instruct their ignorance, and labour to reduce them from the er∣rours they persevere in.

This Province is governed by a Lord President,* 1.106 who hath one Assi∣stant, two learned Lawyers, and a Secretary to keepe it in dutie and obedience. It was in times past divided into many parts▪ as Towoun, that is North-Mounster;* 1.107 Deswoun, that is, South Mounster; Hierwoun, that is, West-Mounster; Mean-Woun, that is, Middle-Mounster; and Vrwoun, that is, the Front of Mounster. But at this day it is distinguished into these Counties;* 1.108 Kerry, Desmond, Limericke, Tipperary, Holy-Crosse, Waterford, and Corke: which Countie in times past had been a Kingdome, con∣taining with it Desmond also: for so in the Grant given by King Henry the second unto Robert Fitz-Stephen, and to Miles de Cogan, it is called in these words: Know ye that I have granted the whole Kingdome of Corke, excepting the Citie and Cantred of the Oustmans, to hold for them and their heires, of me and Iohn my sonne, by the service of sixtie Knights. The Coun∣tie of Waterford,* 1.109 King Henry the sixt gave unto Iohn Talbot Earle of Shrewsbury, with the name, stile, and title of Earle of Waterford, which was afterward againe assumed to the Crowne.* 1.110 Touching the Countie of Holy-Crosse,* 1.111 as the opinion of that much frequented Abbey is much lessened,* 1.112 so that Countie is swallowed up altogether in the Countie Tipperary.* 1.113 It is fortified with five strong Castles, traded with sixe Mar∣ket-Townes,* 1.114 and divided as followeth.

THIS Countrey, the Natives call Leighnigh,* 1.115 the Britaines Lein; in Latine Lagenia; in the ancient lives of the Saints, Lagen; and in English, Leinster. It lyeth East∣ward along Hibernicunt Sea: on Connaught-side West-ward it is bounded with the River Shanon; the North with the Territorie of Louth, and the South with part of the Province of Munster. This Countie butteth upon England, as Mounster and Connaught doe upon Spaine.

* 1.116(2) The forme thereof is triangle, and sides not much unequall, from her South-East unto the West-point about eightie miles, from thence to her North-West about seven∣tie miles, and her East-Coast along the Irish Sea-shore, eightie: the circumference upon two hundred and seventie miles.

* 1.117(3) The Ayre is cleere and gentle, mixt with a temperate disposition, yeelding neither extremitie of heat or cold, ac∣cording to the seasonable times of the yeere, and the natu∣rall condition of the Continent. The Soile is generally fruit∣full, plentifull both in Fish and Flesh,* 1.118 and in other victuals, as Butter, Cheese, and Milke. It is fertile in Corne, Cattle, and pasture grounds, and would be much more, if the hus∣bandman did but apply his industrie, to which he is invited by the commodiousnesse of the Countrey. It is well watered with Rivers, and for the most part well wooded, except the Countie of Divelin,* 1.119 which complaines much of that want, being so destitute of wood, that they are compelled to use a clammy kinde of fat turfe for their fuell, or Sea-coale brought out of England.

(4) The Inhabitants of these parts in Ptolemies dayes were the Brigantes,* 1.120 Menapii, Cauci, and Blani; from which Blani may seeme to be derived and contracted the latter and mo∣derne names of this Country, Lein, Leighnigh, and Leinster, The Menapii (as the name doth after a sort imply) came from the Menapians, a Nation in Low Germany, that dwelt by the Sea-Coasts. These Brigantes, called also Brigantes, Florianus del Campo (a Spaniard) labours to fetch from the Brigants of his owne Country, of whom an ancient Citie in Spaine (called Brigantia) tooke the name. But they may seeme ra∣ther to derive their denomination from the River Birgus, a∣bout which they inhabited; for to this the very name is al∣most sufficient to perswade us.

* 1.121(5) The Commodities of this Countrey do chiefly con∣sist in Cattle, Sea-fowle, and Fish. It breeds many excellent good horses, called Irish Hobbies, which have not the same pace that other horses have in their course, but a soft and round amble, setting very easily.

(6) This Country hath in it three Rivers of note, ter∣med in old time the three Sisters,* 1.122 Shour, Neor, and Barraeo, which issue out of the huge Mountaine (called by Giraldus, Bladinae Montes) as out of their mothers wombe, and from their rising tops descending with a down-fall into severall Channels, before they empty themselves into the Ocean, joyn hand in hand all together in a mutual league and combi∣nation.

* 1.123(7) Places very dangerous for shipping, are certaine slats and shallowes in the Sea, that lye over against Holy-point, which the Mariners call the Grounds. Also the shelves of sand that lye a great way in length opposite to Newcastle, which overlooketh them into the Sea from the top of an high hill adjoyning.

(8) In this Province are placed many faire and wealthy Townes,* 1.124 as Kilkenny, which for a Burrough Towne excels all the midland Burroughs in this Iland▪ Kildare,* 1.125 which is adorned with an Episcopall See, and much graced in the first infancie of the Irish Church, by reason of Saint Bridgid a venerable Virgin, had in great account and estimation for her virginitie and devotion, as who was the Disciple of Saint Patricke of so great fame, renowne, and antiquitie: also Weis∣ford (a name given unto it by these Germans,* 1.126 whom the I∣rish terme Oustmans) a towne though inferiour to some, yet as memorable as any, for that it became the first Colony of the English, and did first submit it selfe unto their protection, being assaulted by Fitz-Stephen, a Captaine worthily made famous for his valour and magnanimitie.

* 1.127(9) But the Citie which fame may justly celebrate alone, beyond all the Cities or Townes in Ireland, is that which we call Divelin, Ptolemie Eblana, the Latinists Dublinium, and Dublinia; the West-Britaines, Dinas Dulin; the English-Saxons in times past. Duplin; and the Irish, Balacleigh, that is, the Towne upon hurdles: for it is reported that the place being fennish and moorish, when it first began to be builded, the foundation was laid upon hurdles.

* 1.128(10) That it is ancient, is perswaded by the authoritie of Ptolemie. That it was grievously rent and dismembred in the tumultuous warres of the Danes, and brought afterwards under the subjection of Eadgar King of England, (which his Charter also confirmeth, wherein he calleth it the noble Citie of Ireland) is written by Saxo Grammaticus.* 1.129 That it was built by Harold of Norway, which may seeme to be Harold Harfager, when he had brought the greatest part of Ireland into an awfull obedience unto him, we reade in the life of Griffeth ap Sinan Prince of Wales. At length it yeelded unto the valour and protection of the English, at their first arrivall into Ireland, by whom it was manfully defended from the fierce assaults as well of Auscoulph Prince of the Dublinians, as afterwards of Gottard King of the Isles: since which time it hath still augmented her flourishing estate, and given approved testimony of her faith and loyaltie to the Crowne of England, in the times of any tumultu∣ous straights and commotions.

(11) This is the royall seat of Ireland,* 1.130 strong in her mu∣nition, beautifull in her buildings, and (for the quantitie) matchable to many other Cities, frequent for traffique and intercourse of Merchants. In the East Suburbs, Henry the second,* 1.131 King of England (as Hoveden reporteth) caused a royall Palace to be erected: and Henry Loundres, Archbishop of Divelin,* 1.132 built a store-house about the yeer of Christ 1220. Not farre from it is the beautifull Colledge consecrated un∣to the name of the holy Trinitie, which Queene Elizabeth of famous memorie, dignified with the priviledges of an V∣niversitie. The Church of S. Patricke being much enlarged by King Iohn,* 1.133 was by Iohn Comin Arch-bishop of Dubline, borne at Euesham in England, first ordained to be a Church of Prebends in the yeere 1191. It doth at this day maintaine a Deane, a Chanter, a Chancellor, a Treasurer, two Arch-Deacons, and twenty-two Prebendaries.

This Citie in times past, for the due administration of Civill Government, had a Provost for the chiefe Magistrate. But in the yeer of mans Redemption 1409.* 1.134 King Henry the fourth granted them libertie to choose every yeere a Maior and two Bailiffes,* 1.135 and that the Maior should have a guilt sword carried before him for ever. And King Edward the sixt (to heape more honour upon this place) changed the two Bailiffes afterwards into Sheriffes: so that there is not any thing here wanting that may serve to make the estate of a Citie most flourishing.

(12) As the people of this Countie doe about the neigh∣bouring parts of Divelin come neerest unto the civill condi∣tions and orderly subjection of the English:* 1.136 so in places far∣ther off they are more tumultuous, being at deadly feuds a∣mongst themselves, committing oft-times Man-slaughters one upon another, and working their owne mischiefes by mutuall wrongs:* 1.137 for so the Irish of Leinster wasted Leinster with many Townes in the same Province in the yeere 1294. And in the yeere 1301. the men of Leinster in like manner raised a warre in the winter season, setting on fire the Town of Wykinlo, Rathdon, and others, working their owne plague and punishment by burning up their sustenance,* 1.138 and losing their Castle by depredation.

(13) Matter of observation, and no lesse admiration a∣mong them,* 1.139 is the Giants dance, commonly so called, and so much talked of, which Merlin is said by Art Magick to have translated out of this. Territory unto Salisburie Plain: which how true it is, I leave to the vaine beleevers of miracles, and to the credulous observers of antiquitie.

(14) In this County have beene erected many famous Monasteries,* 1.140 Abbies, and religious houses, consecrated to de∣vout and holy purposes: as the Monasterie of Saint Maries of Oustmanby, founded for preaching Friers, unto which of late dayes the Iudiciall Courts of the Kingdome have beene translated: also the magnificent Abbey called S. Thomas Court at Dublin, builded and endowed in times past with many large priviledges and revenewes of King Henry the second, in expiation of the murther of Thomas Archbishop of Can∣terburie. Likewise Tinteru Monastery, or the notable Abbey which William Marshall Earle of Pembroke founded and cal∣led De voto, for that he had vowed to God (being tossed at Sea with many a fore and dangerous tempest) to erect an Abbey wheresoever he came to land, and being (after ship∣wrack) cast upon land in this place, he made performance of his vow accordingly.

This Province containeth the Counties of Kilkenny, Cater∣loge, Queens County, Kings County, Kildare, East Meath, West Meath, Weisford, and Dublin (to say nothing of Wicklo and Fernes, which either be already, or else are to be annexed unto it) and subdivided into fifteene Market-Towns.* 1.141 It hath beene fortified with the strength of many Castles against the power of enemies, and is thus divided:

Counties,	East Meath.	Caterlough.	Kildare.
West Meath.	Queenes County.	Weisford.
Kilkenny.	Kings County.	Dublin.

CHAPTER IIII.

* 1.142THis Province named by Giraldus Cambrensis Conachtia, and Conatia, by the Irish, Conaughty, and by Englishmen, Connaught: is bounded Eastward, with part of the Coun∣tie of Leinster; Northward, with part of Vlster; Westward, with the West maine Ocean; and on the South, it is confined with a part of the Province of Moun∣ster, closed in with the River Shennon, and butting against the Kingdom of Spain.

* 1.143(2) The forme thereof is long, and towards the North and South ends, thinne and narrow; but as it grows towards the middle, from either part it waxeth still bigger and big∣ger: exceeding in length from the River Shennon in her South, to Enis Kelling in her North, 126. miles, and the broadest part is from Tromer in her East, to Barragh-Bay in her West, containing above fourescore. The whole in cir∣cuit and compasse is above foure hundred miles.

* 1.144(3) The ayre is not altogether so pure and cleare, as in the other Provinces of Ireland, by reason of certaine moist places (covered over with grasse) which of their softnesse are usually termed Boghes, both dangerous, and full of va∣porous and foggy mists.

* 1.145(4) This Countie as it is divided into severall portions, so is every portion severally commended for the soyle, ac∣cording to the seasonable times of the yeare.* 1.146 Twomond or the Countie Clare, is said to be a Countrey so conveniently situated, that either from the Sea or Soyle there can be no∣thing wisht for more, then what it doth naturally afford of it selfe, were but the industry of the Inhabitants answerable to the rest.* 1.147 Galway is a land very thankfull to the painefull husbandman, and no lesse commodious and profitable to the Shepheard. Maio,* 1.148 in the Roman Provinciall called Mageo, is replenished both with pleasure and fertilitie, abundantly rich in Cattell,* 1.149 Deere, Hawkes, and plentie of Honey. Slego (coasting upon the Sea) is a plenteous Countrey for feed∣ing and raising of Cattell.* 1.150 Le-Trim (a place rising up thorowout with hills) is so full of ranke grasse and forrage, that (as Solinus reporteth) if cattell were not kept somtimes from grasing, their fulnesse would endanger them. And Roscomen is a Territorie,* 1.151 for the most part plaine and fruit∣full, feeding many Herdes of cattell, and with meane hus∣bandry and tillage, yeelding plenty of corne. As every par∣ticular part is thus severally profitable by in-bred commodi∣ties; so is it no lesse commended (in the generalitie) for the many accommodate and fit Bayes, Creekes, and navigable Rivers, lying upon her Sea-coasts, that after a sort invite and provoke the inhabitants to Navigation.

* 1.152(5) Such as in ancient time made their abode and habi∣tations in this Province, were the GANGANI, who were also called CONCANI, AVTERI, and NAGNA∣TA••. As the Luceni (that were next neighbours unto them) came from the Lucensii, (in Spaine) so those Ganga∣ni and Concani may seeme also to have fetcht their deriva∣tion from the Concani (a Nation of the self-same Countrey) both by the affinitie of name, and vicinitie of place. In Stra∣bo, according to the diversitie of reading, the same people are named Coniaci and Conisci: and Silius testifieth them at the first to have beene Scythians, and to have used ordinarily to drinke horses blood (a thing nothing strange among the wilde Irish even of late dayes.) And some may also hap∣pily suppose that the Irish name Conaughty, was compoun∣ded of Concani and Nagnatae: Howsoever, it is sure that these were the ancient Inhabitants of this Countrey, as is to be seen in Ptolemie.

* 1.153(6) The principall Citie of this Province, and which may worthily be accounted the third in Ireland, is Galway, in Irish, Gallive, built in manner much like to a Tower. It is dignified with a Bishops See, and is much frequented with Merchants, by reason whereof, and the benefit of the Road and Haven, it is gainefull to the Inhabitants through traffique and exchange of rich Commodities, both by Sea and Land. Not farre from which, neare the West-shoare that lies indented with small in-lets and out-lets, in a rew, are the Islands called Arran,* 1.154 of which many a foolish fable goes, as if they were the Islands of the living, wherein none dyed at any time, or were subject to mortalitie; which is as superstitious an observation, as that used in some other corners of the Countrey,* 1.155 where the people leave the right armes of their Infants males unchristned (as they terme it) to the end that at any time afterwards, they may give a more deadly and ungracious blow when they strike: which things doe not onely shew how palpably they are carried a∣way by traditious obscurities, but doe also intimate how full their hearts be of inveterate revenge.

(7) This Province presents no matter more worthy of memorie,* 1.156 then the Battell of Knoc-toe (that is) The hill of axes, under which, the greatest rabble of Rebels, that were ever seene before in Ireland, (raised and gathered together by the Arch-Rebels of that time,* 1.157 William Burk O-Brien, Mac-Nemare, and O-Carrol) were after a bloody over∣throw discomfited and put to flight by the noble service of Girald-Fitz Girald Earle of Gildare. And the suppression of certaine Irish (the posteritie of Mac-William) who usur∣ping a tyranny in these parts,* 1.158 raged sometimes upon them∣selves, with mutuall injuries, and oppressed the poor people a long time with extorting, pilling, and spoiling; so as they left scarce one house in the countrey unrifled, or unrased; but were bridled and repressed (even in our remembrance) by the severitie and resolution of the Commissioner of those times,* 1.159 who in his wisedome and policie well under∣stood that their excessive insolence, and those their un∣just doings, would be a meanes to draw the people away from the due obedien•• to their Prince: such therefore as refused to obey the Lawes,* 1.160 and sided with the tumul∣tuous, with all care and diligence hee soone scattered, for∣cing their Forts, and driving them into woods and lur∣king-holes, (for troubling the blessed estate of tranquillitie) till the Lord Deputie, who tooke pitie of them, upon their humble supplication,* 1.161 commanded by his missives, that they should be received upon tearmes of peace. But they being a stiffenecked people, tooke Armes againe, entred a∣fresh into actuall rebellion, drave away booties, made foule uprores, and upon faire promises procured the aide of the Scottish Ilanders, from out of the Hebrides: whereupon the Governour assembled an Armie, and pursued them with such powerfull violence through the Woods and For∣rests,* 1.162 that after sixe or seven weekes, being grievously hun∣ger-bitten, they submitted themselves in all humilitie. The Auxiliary Forces also of the Scots, he by day and night af∣fronted so neere, and followed so hardly, that hee put them to flight, after he had killed and drowned about 3. thousand of them in the River Moin.

(8) About the yeare 1316. there was such a great slaughter made of the Irish in this Province of Connaught,* 1.163 through a quarrell that arose there betweene two Lords or Princes, that there were slaine on both sides about 4000. men; and so great a tribulation at that time came upon the people, that they did devoure and eat one another, so as of ten thousand there remained not above three hundred li∣ving. And it is reported for truth, that the people were then so hunger-starved, that in Church-yards they took the dead bodies out of their graves, and in their sculs boyled the flesh, and fed upon it: yea, and that women did eat their owne children. Thus appeared the ire and anger of God, in pu∣nishing their sins, and seeking their conversion.

(9) Places memorable,* 1.164 are, Inis Ceath, well known by the Monasterie of Colman (a devout Saint) founded for Scots and Englishmen; and Inis Bovind, which Bede calleth White Calfe Isle.* 1.165 Also Maio, a Monasterie built (as Bede writeth) for thirtie men of the English Nation. Likewise the Baronie of Boile, under Curlew hilles, where in times past was a famous Abbey built, together with the Abbey of Beatitude,* 1.166 in the yeare of Grace 1152. These Abbeyes and Monasteries erected at the first for religious services, and through ignorance and other obscurities diverted since unto superstitious uses, are now made the ruines of time.

(10) The Province of Connaught is at this day strength∣ned with 14. Castles,* 1.167 traded with 9. Market-Townes, and divided as ensueth.

THIS Province, called by our Welsh Bri∣taines, Vltw, in Irish, Cui Guilly, in Latine, Vltonia, and Vlidia, in Eng∣lish Vlster,* 1.168 on the North is divided by a narrow Sea from Scotland; Southwaad it extends it selfe to Connagh and Leinster; the East part lyeth upon the Irish Sea; and the West part is conti∣nually beaten with the boisterous rage of the maine West O∣cean. This Province and furthest part of Ireland affronteth the Scotish Ilands, which are called the Hebrides, and are scat∣tered in the Seas betweene both Kingdomes; whose in∣habitants at this day is the Irish Scot, successour of the old Scythian.

* 1.169(2) The forme thereof is round, reaching in length from Coldagh Haven in her North, to Kilmore in her South, neere an hundred miles; and in bredth from Black-Abbey in her East, to Calebegh point in her West, one hundred thirty and odde miles: The whole in circumference, about foure hun∣dred and twenty miles.

(3) This Country seldome feeleth any unseasonable ex∣tremities,* 1.170 the quick and flexible winds cooling the heat of Summer, and soft and gentle showers mollifie the hardnesse of the Winter. Briefly, the frozen nor horrid Zone have not here any usurpation; the clouds in the ayre very sweet and pleasant, yea, and when they are most impure, are not un∣wholesome, nor of long continuance, the rough winds hold∣ing them in continuall agitation.

* 1.171(4) This equall temperature causeth the ground to bring forth great store of severall Trees, both fit for building, and bearing of fruit; plentifull of grasse for the breeding of Cat∣tle, and is abundantly furnished with Horses, Sheepe, and Oxen; the Rivers likewise pay double tribute, deep enough to carry Vessels either for pleasure or profit, and fish great store, both for their owne uses, and commodity of others. Salmons in some Rivers of this County abound more in number then in any River of Europe.* 1.172 To speak (in generall) though in some places it be some what barren, troubled with Loughs, Lakes, and thick Woods, yet is it every where fresh, and full of Cattle and forrage, ready at all times to answer the husbandmans paines. But Nature is there so little beholding to Art or Industry,* 1.173 that the various shew upon banks, the sha∣die groves, the greene meadowes, hanging hilles, and fields fit for Corne, (if they were manured) doe seeme to be angry with their Inhabitants for suffering all to grow wilde and barbarous, through their owne negligence.

* 1.174(5) This County in Ptolemies dayes was wholly posses∣sed by the Voluntii, Darni, Robogdii, and Erdini, who bran∣ched and spred themselves into the severall parts of that Island.

(6) The people of this Province were accustomed in controversies and solemne protestations,* 1.175 to sweare by S. Pa∣trickes Staffe, which oath they feared more to break, then if they had sworne by the holy Evangelist. Their ancient cu∣stome in making their King, was this: A white Cow was ta∣ken, which the King must kill,* 1.176 and seethe the same in water whole, then must he bathe himselfe therein starke naked; and sitting in the Cawdron wherin it was sod, accompanied with his people round about him, he and they used to eat the flesh and drinke the broath wherein he sate, without cup, or dish, or use of hand. How farre these prescriptions and customes were different from the conformities of other civill Monar∣chies, we may well perceive by these and other like observa∣tions of those grosse times, and as yet they are more barba∣rous then is any other part of the Island besides.

(7) Historians relating of Ireland, tell of severall Islands in the severall Provinces: some full of Angels, some full of Devils; some for male only, some for female; some where none may live, some where none can dye; and such effects of trees, stones, and waters, that a man (but of easie conceit) may well esteeme them as heedlesse as uncertaine. So also S. Patrickes Purgatory (a thing of much note in the Tract of this Province) is a vault or narrow cave in the ground,* 1.177 neere a Lake (called Erne Lyffer) much spoken of, by reason of (I wot not what) fearfull walking spirits, and dreadfull appari∣tions, (or rather some religious horrour) which (as some ri∣diculously dreame) was digged by Vlysses when hee went downe to parley with those in hell. This is the cave which the Inhabitants in these dayes call Ellan u' Frugadory,* 1.178 that is, The Isle of Purgatory, and S. Patricks Purgatory: for some persons, lesse devout then credulous, affirme that S. Patricke (or rather Patricius Secundus an holy Abbot of that name) labouring the conversion of the people of this Province, and much inforcing the life to come, they replyed contemptu∣ously unto him, that unlesse they saw proofes of those joyes and paines he preached, they would not lose the possession of their present pleasures, in hope or feare of things to come, they wist not when. Whereupon (as they say) he obtained at Gods hands by earnest prayer, that the punishments and torments which the godlesse are to suffer after this life, might be there presented to the eye, that so he might more easily root out the sins and heathenish errors, that stuck so fast in the hearts of the Irish. But touching the credit hereof (al∣though common fame, and some records do utter it) I nei∣ther will urge the beliefe, nor regard, seeing it is no Article of our Creed.

(8) Matters memorable within this Province are these:* 1.179 first, that the Bishops of Ireland were wont to be consecrated by the Arch-bishop of Canterbury,* 1.180 in regard of the Primacie which they had in this country; untill such time as Iohn Pa∣pirio a Cardinall was sent thither from Pope Eugenius ••he fourth, to reform Ecclesiastical discipline in this Iland, which was then growne so loose, that there were translations, and pluralities of Bishops, according to the will and pleasure of the Metropolitane.* 1.181 Also that the Irish-men were accustomed to leave and forsake their wedded wives at their owne free∣willes, whereof Lanfranck Arch-bishop of Canterbury com∣plained unto Therdeluac, a King of Ireland. And had not this Nation been corrupted with this vice, even unto these our dayes; both the right of lineall succession had been more cer∣taine among them, and the Gentry and Comminalty had not in such cruelties imbrued themselves, with such effusion of their owne kindreds bloud, about their inheritances and le∣gitimation.

(9) The principall place in this Tract is Armagh neare unto the River Kalin,* 1.182 which (albeit it maketh a poor shew) is the Archiepiscopall See and Metropolitane of the whole Is∣land. Before S. Patricke had built there a faire City, for site, forme, quantity, and compasse, modelled out (as he saith) by the appointment and direction of Angels, this place was na∣med Drumsalich; the Irish tel much that it received the name of Queene Armacha: but the better opinions are, that it is the same which Bed•• calleth Dearmach, and out of the Scot∣tish and Irish language interpreteth it, The Field of Oakes. Here (as S. Bernard writeth) S. Patricke the Apostle of Ire∣land ruled in his life-time,* 1.183 and rested after death: in honour of whom it was of such venerable estimation in old time, that not only Bishops and Priests, but Kings also and Princes were (in general) subject to the Metropolitane therof in all obedi∣ence, and to his government alone. Among the Arch-bishops of this Province, S. Malachy is famoused,* 1.184 who first prohibi∣ted Priests marriage in Ireland, and (as S. Bernard saith, who wrote his life at large) borrowed no more of the native bar∣barousnesse of that Country, then Sea-fishes do saltnesse of the Seas.* 1.185 Also Richard Fitz-Ralf (commonly called Armacha∣nus) is of famous memory, who turning the edge of his stile, about the yeare 1355. began to oppose his opinion against the Order of Mendicant Fryers, as detesting in Christians such voluntary begging. The chiefe Fort in this Tract is Enis Kel∣ling,* 1.186 defended by the Rebels in the yeare 1593. and won by Dowdall, a most valiant Captain: neere unto which is a great downfall of water, termed The Salmon-Leape:* 1.187 of which there is a common speech currant among the Inhabitants, that is was once firme ground, very populous, and well hus∣banded with tillage; till it was suddenly over-flowne with waters, and turned into a Lake, for some filthy abominable acts of the people against Nature committed with beasts.

(10) The places of Religion,* 1.188 sequestred from other worldly services, and consecrated to holy purposes, erected in this Province, were: The Abbey which sheweth it selfe at Donegal: The Monastery of Derie, where the Irish Re∣bell Shane O-Neal received such an overthrow (by Edward Randolph, renowned for his service in the behalf of his Coun∣try) that he could never after recover the losse he sustained at that time: The Monastery neere unto the River Liffer: The famous Monastery at the Bay of Knockfergus, of the same institution, name, and order, as was that ancient Abbey in England, neere unto Chester, called Banchor: Also Mellifont Abbey, founded by Donald a King of Vriel, and much com∣mended by S. Bernard: And lastly, the most renowned Mo∣nastery, built as Armagh in the yeare of our Salvation 610. out of which very many Monasteries were afterwards pro∣pagate both in Britaine and Ireland. These places were farre and neere frequented and sought unto by great confluences of Pilgrims, till Time proved their devotions to be erroni∣ous, and the pure light of the Word revealed, opening the eyes of their understanding, hath taught them to shake oft the shame of such Superstitions.

(11) That the people of this County might be kepth with∣in the bounds of their duty, this Province hath been secured with fifty six Castles and Forts; and for trade of commerce, nine Market-Townes appointed,* 1.189 being divided into these Counties ensuing:

Counties,	Dunghall, or Tyr connell.	Nether Tyrone.	Monaghan.	Downe.
Fermanagh.	Colrane.	Armagh.* 1.190
Vpper Tyrone.	Cavan.	Antrim.	Lough.
