The theatre of the empire of Great Britaine presenting an exact geography of the kingdomes of England, Scotland, Ireland, and the iles adioyning: with the shires, hundreds, cities and shire-townes, within ye kingdome of England, divided and described by Iohn Speed.

IRELAND, AS IT VVAS, AND IS INHABITED, the Site and Commodities of the Jland described and declared.

THe Traditions of time haue de∣liuered vnto vs diuers names, * 1.1whereby this famous Island is recorded to haue beene called, yet none of more faire proba∣bilitie, then that of Orpheus, A∣ristotle, and Claudian, by whom it is named IERNA: by Iuue∣nal, and Mela called IVVER∣NA: by Diodorus Siculus, I∣RIS: by Martian of Heraclea IOYEPNIA: by Eustachius, OYERNIA, and BER∣NIA: * 1.2by the natiue Inhabitants, ERYN: by the Brittaines, YVERDON: the Welsh-Bards in their Ballads, TIRVO∣LAS TOTIDANAN, and BANNO, & by the English, IRELAND: but from whēce these diuersities were deriued, arise many opinions: Doubtles it is, that Hibernia, Iuuerna, & * 1.3 Ouernia, came from Ierna, spoken of by Orpheus, & Aristotle, & the same Ierna, as also Iris, Iuerdhon, and Ireland, from Erin; the terme that the Inhabitants now vse. From this Erin therfore (a word proper to the Nation) the originall is most likely to bee deduced.

(2) Some deriue Hibernia, from Hiberno tempore, that is, from the winter season; some from Hiberus a Spaniard; some from a * 1.4a Duke named Irnalph; some again from the ancient riuer Ibe∣rus, & some from Hiere, an Irish word, which signisieth the west or a western coast, whence Erin may also seem to fetch the de∣riuation: for it lieth furthest Westward of any Region in all * 1.5Europe: as also for that the riuer running in the most re∣mote west-part of this Iland, is in Ptolomie called Iernus: like as the furthest westerne Promontory in Spaine, from whence our Irish men came, is by Strabo called Ierne, and the riuer * 1.6next vnto it, by Mela Ierna: yea and Spaine it selfe for the Westerne situation is called Hesperia: the west-Cape of A∣fricke-Hesperium; and in Germany, Westrich, and Westphanlen * 1.7from their position haue their names. Postelius (a man that rather followed his owne fancy, then the iudgement of o∣thers) fetcheth the originall of Ireland from the Hebrewes▪ as if Irin should be as much as Iurin, that is the Iewes land; which * 1.8opinion J hold no better, then those that would haue it from the Winter-like stormes, although vpon euery wind the Aire is cold there.

(3) Festus Auienus in that little booke which he intituled * 1.9Orae Maritimae, calleth Ireland, Sacram Insulam, that is the ho∣ly Jland: to which opinion the people are soone drawne, by reason of the many Saints that the Iland is said to produce, and the blessed soile that affords no venemous Creatures to retaine life. It is thought that Plutarch meant Ireland by his * 1.10Ogygia, for her great antiquity, and of later times by Isodore and Bede, it was called Scon••, of those Scots that inhabited it, * 1.11and that thence the name of Scotland together with the Scots themselues came into Britaine.

(4) For largenesse and circuit, in times past this Iland chal∣lenged the third place in ranke of all the Iles of the then knowne World: for thus haue Geographers left vs, that the * 1.12Indian Taptoban for greatnes was the first: the Isle of Brit∣taine the next: and this of Ireland the third: and for that cause doth Ptolomy call it the little Brittaine. But how∣soeuer * 1.13Strabo hath extended the breadth, as broad as the length; and others haue formed it in shape like an egge, yet later dimensions haue found it farre otherwise, twice longer then broad, and may bee compared to the fore-legge of a Beare, if the Simile breed no offence. Whose East side hath * 1.14on it that tempestuous sea that cutteth her Channell betwixt England and this Ireland: the West is washed with the We∣sterne Occan; the North with the Deucaledonian; and the South with the Virgiuian sea.

(5) The Aire of this Iland is delectable and wholesome, * 1.15though neither so cleare nor subtle as is ours of England, * 1.16which as (Mela saith) is nothing fauourable for the ripening of Corne: but so gratefull to the ground, that it causeth grasse to grow abundantly, not onely fresh and long, but with all very sweet for all Cattle, and in winter is more subiect to * 1.17wind then snow: and that I may vse the words of Giraldus▪ It is of all Countries most temperate, neither forcing the Inhabi∣tants * 1.18to seeke shade from the frying heat of Cancer, nor the chil∣ling cold of Capricorne to driu•• them to the fire: but at all seasons most mild, betwixt a sufferable cold, and gentle warme heate.

* 1.19 (6) The Soile, saith Cambrensis, is vneuen, wooddy, wild, waterish and boggy, so full of Loghs & Meeres, that great ponds of water are found vpon the high mountains: These indeed make the places somwhat dangerous vnto all new commers, by breeding of rheums, dyssenteries and fluxes, * 1.20whose vsuall remedy is Vskebah, a wholesome Aqua vi∣tae that drieth more, and inflameth lesse, then many other hote confections.

* 1.21 (7) The commodities of this Kingdom chiefly consist in Cattle, whose feed is so sweet and so ranke, that they will soone graze to a surfet, if they may be suffered to feed as they will. Their sheepe are many, but beare not the best wooll, which twice are shorne within one yeere: of these * 1.22they make Mantles, Caddowes and Couerlets, vented from thence into forraine Countries. Their Hobbies like∣wise * 1.23are of great esteeme, and are answerable to the len∣nets of Spaine. Bees are there in such abundance, that * 1.24 hony is found in holes of old trees, and in refts of the rocks. No annoiance of hurtfull Snake or venemous creatures; and to speake all in a word, nothing wanting for profite or pleasure: for so much doth Giraldus af∣affirme in saying, that Nature hadcast into this Westerne Kingdome of Zephirus a more gratious eye then was ordinary.

(8) Touching the Originall peopling of this faire J∣land, if wee will belieue their records, they make antiqui∣ty itselfe but young vnto themselues, affirming the dams. •• * 1.25Caesarea, and niece vnto Noah, to haue found it out before the floud; and that three hundred yeeres after, when Ia∣phets posterity tooke into these West-parts of the World, one Bartholanus of his Progeny, a Scythian by birth, en∣couraged * 1.26by the late successe of Nimrod (who now had intruded vpon the Monarchy of Syria) wandred so farre west, that Fortune at last cast him and his people vpon the coast of Ireland. There hee setled with his three sonnes, Languinna, Salanus, & Ruthurgus, who searching through * 1.27 euery creeke and corner of the land, left their owne names by three notable places, Languini, Stragius, and Mount Salanga, which the reuolution of times hath since called by other names, as Saint Dominicke-hil, Rut••urgi, and Stag∣num. Vnder the gouernment of these three sonnes, and their ofspring, this land was kept about three hundred yeeres; at which time there arriued also in Ireland a Giant∣like * 1.28kind of people of Nimrods race, who in bodily shape exceeded the proportion of vsuall men, vsing their strengthes to winne Soueraigneties, and to oppresse with rapine and violence. These growing to numbers, accoun∣ted it necessary to preuent dominion, lest the curse of sla∣uerie (prophesied by Noah) should light vpon them: to preuent the which, they setvp a King of their owne; then quarrels bred daily, either parties purposing to hold their interest by their swords, against whom, lastly a bat∣taile was fought, and an infinite Company of Giants slaine, when also died most of those of the posterity of Iapheth, leauing them of Cham Lords of the Iland.

(9) Whereupon Nemethus a Scythian, with his foure sonnes, arriued in Ireland, and by strong hand s••ated * 1.29 themselues among these Giants; where for two hundred & sixty y••eres they kept, but then no longer able to hold out against them, they left their standings & departed the land.

(10) Soon after, the fiue sonnes of Dela, descended from the said Nemethus, came into these coasts, and with manly prowesse droue these miscreants out of Ireland, * 1.30 whereby the seed of Cham was vtterly expelled, and these of Iapheth diuided the land into fiue parts, whereof they became themselues Kings: but falling at variance, gaue aduantage vnto others, among whom the Britaines set in a foot.

(11) But to make this Iland more famous, certaine Historians haue fetched their Kings from most vncertain Records, as namely from Gaothel the Grecian, and Scota, * 1.31(the daughter of King Pharao, and nourisher of Moses) his wife: who at that time, when Israel were in Egypt, with a Colony, came into Spaine, and after into Ireland, where he was made King, and in honour of his Queene, the land

named Scotta, from whom also the inhabitants took name: * 1.32his posterity increasing in the parts of Spaine, where first they had seated: in processe of time sought further aduen∣tures * 1.33 vnder the foure sonnes of Milesius King of Spaine, whose names were Hibernus, Hermion, Euer, and Eri∣mon.

(12) These by the direction, sufferance, and assistance, of Gurguntius, King of the Britanes, after that Ireland had been verie much dispeopled by a contagious pestilence, seated themselues; and from the eldest, Hiberius, called the Island Hibernia, as some are of opinion: these diuided the whole, into fiue Prouinces, famouslie knowne by the names * 1.34of Mounster, Leinster, Connaught, Vlster, and Meath in their midst; and from these the present Irish repute them∣selues to come. Yet surely as I make no question, but that this Island became inhabited euen of old time, when man∣kind againe ouer-spred the face of the earth, so doubt I not, but that our Britanes passed thereinto themselues, such infinite number of words in the Irish language yet in vse, * 1.35such ancient names of Waters, Isles, Mountaines, and Pla∣ces, meerely British words yet remaining, and the testimo∣nie * 1.36of Tacitus; who saith, that their manners were fashio∣ned to the Britanes, inforceth so much; and Ptolomie be∣fore him, calleth that Island by the name of little Britane: all which shew a former interest for Ireland, then that which by conquest vnder Henry the second was made.

* 1.37 (13) That it euer was subiect to the Romanes, is doubt∣full, though Agricola did wish it, and Tacitus held most necessarie: yea and in the diuision of their Empire, Ireland, with Britane, and Thule, fell vnto Constantine the sonne of Constantine the great; yet their manners vnreclaimed, and barbarisme retained long after those daies, doe witnesse no such ciuilitie sowen, to bee in that plot: But when Romes great Empire begane to grow lesse, the Scots or Scythians * 1.38grew mightie in Ireland: and as Orosius writeth, that Island was wholie inhabited by the Scottish Nation in the daies of Honorius, and Arcadius, the Emperors: whose warres and slaughter, Claudian doth lightlie touch in this his verse.

Scotorum cumulos sleuit glacialis lerne. 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 * 1.39Ninius, were the ancient inhabitants, so by other ancient writers, their customes and manners, are thus set foorth: Strabo saith `the inhabitants of Ireland are more rude then the Britanes, they feede vpon the flesh of men, yea, and thinke it a * 1.40point of worth to eat their dead parents; wantonlie they accom∣panie with women, making no difference of other mens wiues, their owne sisters, nor of their naturall mothers: but of these things (saith he) we haue no certaine witnesse of sufficient credit. * 1.41Pomponius Mela, recordeth that, the Irish are vnciuill, ig∣norant of vertues, and void of religion. And Solinus affirmeth, that, after victory they drinke the bloud of the slaine, and be∣smeare their owne faces therewith; so giuen to warre, that the mother at the birth of a man child, feedeth the first meat into her infants mouth, vpon the point of her husbands sword, and with heat henish imprecations, wisheth that it may die no other∣wise then in warre or by sword.

(15) But from these ancient and barbarous maners, let vs come to the conditions of their middle time: whom * 1.42Giraldus Cambrensis describeth as followeth. The Irish (saith he) are a strong and bold people, martiall and prodigall in warre, nimble, stout, and haughty of heart; carelesse of life, but greedy of glorie; courteous to strangers, constant in loue light of beliefe, impatient of iniurie, giuen to fleshlie lusts, and in enmitie impla∣cable. At the baptizing of their infants, their maner was, * 1.43not to dip their right arms into the water, that so (as they thought) they might giue a more deepe and incurable blow; neuer calling them by the names of their Parents whilst they liued together, but at their death tooke it vpon them: their women noursed not the children they bare; and they that nurse others, did affect and loue them, much more then their owne.

(16) So much were they giuen to fantasticall conceits, that they held it very ominous to giue their neighbours * 1.44fire vpon 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 vp the shells in the roofe, was a preseruatiue of the chickens from the kite; to set vp greene boughes at their doores in the moneth of May, in∣creased their kines milke; and to spit vpon Cattle they held it good against Witchery, whereof Ireland was full.

(17) Superstitious Idolatry among the wild Irish was common, yeelding diuine honour vnto the Moone after * 1.45the change, vnto whom they both bowed their knees, and made supplications; and, with a loude voice would thus speake vnto that Planet, We pray thee leaue vs in as good estate as thou foundst vs. Wolues they did make their * 1.46God-sibs, terming them Chari Christ, and so thought themselues preserued from their hurts: the hoofes of dead horses they accounted and held sacred: about Childrens necks they hung the beginning of Saint Iohns Gospell, a crooked naile of an horseshow, or a peece of a Wolues skin, and both the sucking child, and nurse, were girt with gir∣dles, finely plated of womans haire: so farre they wandred into the waies of errour, in making these armes the strength of their healthes.

* 1.47 (18) Their wiues were many by reason of diuorcements, and their maids married at twelue yeeres of age, whose cu∣stomes were to send to their louers, bracelets plated, & curi∣ously wrought of thir owne haire, so farre following Venus in the knots of these allurements. The men wore linnen * 1.48sh rts exceedingly large, stained with Saffron, the sleeues wide, and hanging to their knees, strait & short trusses ple∣ted thicke in the skirts, their breeches close to the thighes, a short skeine hanging point downe before, and a mantle most times cast ouer their heads. The women wore their * 1.49haire plated in curious manner, hanging down their backs and shoulders, from vnder foulden wreathes of fine linnen, rolled about their heads, rather loading the wearer then delighting the beholder; for as the one was most seemely, so the other was vnsightly: their necks were hung with chaines and carkaneths, their armes wreathed with many bracelets, & ouer their side-garments the shagge rug man∣tels purfled with a deepe Fringe of diuers colours, both sexes accounting idlenesse their only liberty, and ease their greatest riches.

* 1.50 (19 In warres they were forward, and fought with battle axes, whose bearers were called Galloglasses, the common souldier but lightly armed, who serued with darts and sharp skeines; their Trumpet was a Bagge▪pipe, and word for encounter, Pharroh; which at the first onset with great ac∣clamation they vttered, and he that did not, was taken into the aire, and carried into the vale of Kerry, where transfor∣med * 1.51(as they did belieue) he remained vntill he was hunted with hounds from thence to his home.

(20) For the dying and dead they hired women to mourn, who expostulated with the sicke, why hee would die; and dead, at his Funerall such outcries were made, such clap∣ping * 1.52of hands, such howlings, and gestures, that one would thinke their sorrowes vnrecouerable, holding the opini∣on of Pythagoras for the soules departed.

(21) Their diet in necessity was slender, feeding vpon water-cresses, rootes, mushromes, shamrogh, butter tem∣pered with oate-meale, milke, whey, yea and raw flesh, the * 1.53bloud being crushed out: their vse was also to let their Kine bloud, which standing a while, and comming to a ••elly, with butter they did eate, as a very good dish.

* 1.54 (22) That the Gospell of Christ should be preached in Ireland by Iames the Apostle, I will not affirme, though Vincentius hath said it; neither will J with the Scots bring * 1.55the Ilands conuersion from a Christian woman, who as their Historians do auouch, first instructed the Queen, & the Queen her husband, & he again his Subiects, til al became Christians: But most true it is, that the Scots first recei∣ued the doctrine of Christ in this kingdome of Ireland; for * 1.56thus writeth Prosper: Coelestin Pope of Rome sent his Arch∣deacon * 1.57Palladius into Brittaine to withstand the Pelagian heresie, who at one time did driue out these enemies of grace, and ordained a Bishop among the Scots, whereby that bar∣barous Nation imbraced Christianity. Yet Ninius reporteth that Palladius did nothing in neither, being taken away * 1.58by vntimely death: but that S. Patricke borne at Eiburne in Cluedsdale, the sonne of Calphurus, by the sister of S. Martin, was the first Apostle for Ireland, who sowed his heauenly seed with such plentifull increase, that the soile * 1.59it selfe shortly was called Sanctorum patria, the Countrie of Saints: for whose Sepulchre after his death rose as great variance, as was for Homer amongst them of Greece: they of Downe challenged his graue to be with them, vpon cer∣taine * 1.60verses written on a Tombe, which ascribes Patrick, Briget and Columbe to bee buried therein: they of Armagh lay claime, by the warrant of Saint Bernard, who saith that Patricke in his life time there ruled, and after death there rested: Glascenbury in England by ancient records will haue his body enterred with them; & Scotland auoucheth his birth to bee at Glasco, and bones to rest at Kirk-Patrick with them; of such reuerend esteem was this Irish Apostle. * 1.61

(23) This Patrick in his youth had been taken Captiue by the Irish Pirats, and for six yeeres continuance serued Mac∣buain as his slaue, & keeper of his swine: in which deiected condition, so desirous he was of the lands saluation, that in his dreams he thought the Infants vnborne cried vnto him for Baptisme, and redeeming himselfe thence for a peece of gold found in the field, which a swine had turned vp, in his aged yeeres came backe againe into Ireland, preached the Gospell, conuerted the people; and lastly became Arch∣bishop of Armagh; of whose miracles and Purgatorie I leaue others to speake, that are more credulous in the one, & hath better leasure to relate the other, and will shew thee Ireland as now it is, first in generall, and then in parts.

THis Prouince called in Irish, Mown (in a more ordinarie con∣struction of speech) Wown, in La∣tine, * 1.62Momonia, and in English, * 1.63Mounster, heth open southward to the Virgiuian Sea, Northward, it affronteth part of Connaught. * 1.64The East is neighboured by Lein∣ster, and the West is altogether * 1.65 washed vvith the West Ocean.

(2) The length thereof ex∣tended from Ballatimore Bay in her South, vnto the Bay of Gal. * 1.66way in her North, are about ninetie miles: Her broadest part from East to West, is from Water∣ford▪hauen to Feriter hauen, and containeth an hundred miles. The whole circumference by following the prometaries and indents, are aboue fiue hundred and forty miles.

(3) The forme thereof is quadrant or foure-square. The Aire * 1.67 mild and temperate, neither too chilling cold, nor too scortching hot. The Soile in some parts is hilly, looking aloft with woody, wilde, and solitarie mountaines; yet the valleis below are garnished with corne-fields. And generally, all both pleasant for sight, and fertile for soile.

(4) This Prouince is at this day diuided into two parts, that is, * 1.68 the West Mounster, and the South Mounster. The West Moun∣ster was inhabited (in old time) by the Luceni): The Ʋelabri and the Ʋterini: The South Mounster by the Oudiae or Vodiae, and the Coriondi: The Velabri and Luceni are said (by Orosius) to haue dwelt in that part of the Country, where it lieth outmost Westward, and passing towards the Cantabrian Ocean, looketh a farre off to Galli∣tia in Spaine. The Luceni of Ireland (who seeme to haue deriued their name and originall from the Lucensis of Galitia, and of whom there still remaine some reliques in the Baronie of Lyxnauw) are supposed to haue beene seated in those partes that lie neighbouring vpon the bancke of the riuer Sennon.

(5) The generall commodities of this Prouince are Corne, Cat∣tle, Wood, Wooll and Fish. The last vvhereof, it affords in euerie place plenty and abundance of all sorts: but none so well known for the store of Herrings that are taken there, as is the Promon torie called Eraugh, that lies betweene Bantre, and Balatimore Bay, whereunto euery yeare a great Fleet of Spaniards and Portugals re∣sort (euen in the middest of winter) to fish also for Cods.

(6) The principall City of the Prouince is Limericke, which the Irish call Loumeagh, compassed about with the famous riuer Sennon, by the parting of the Channell. This is a Bishops See, and the ve∣ry Mart-Town of Mounster. It was first won by Reymond le Grosse an Englishman, afterwards burnt by Dunenald an Irish petty King of Thuetmond. Then in processe of time, Philip Breos an English∣man was infeoffed in it, and King John fortified it with a Castle, which hee caused therein to be built. In this Castle certaine Ho∣stages * 1.69 making their abode in the yeere 1332. grew as is reported so full of pride and insolency, that they slew the Constable thereof, & seized the castle into their owne hands: But the resolute Citizens that could neither brooke, nor beare with such barbarous cruelty, did in reuenge then shew such manly courage and viuacity, as they soone after recouered the Castle againe, repaying the Hostages in such hostile manner, as that they put them all to the sword without partiality. The position of this towne, is by Mercator placed for la∣titude * 1.7053. degrees, 20. minutes; and for longitude, 9. degrees, and 34. Minutes. Neere vnto the riuer that Ptolomy calleth Daucona, and Giraldus Cambrensis (by the alteration of some few letters) na∣meth * 1.71Sauranus and Sauarenus, which issueth out of Muskerey Mountaines, is seated the City Cotck, graced also vvith an other Episcopall dignity (and with the Bishops See of Clon annexed vnto it) which Giraldus calleth Corragia, the Englishmen Corcke, and the natiue Inhabitants of the Country Coreach. This towne is so * 1.72 beset on euery side with neighbouring molesters, as that they are still constrained to keepe watch and ward, as if there lay continual siege against it. The Citizens of this place, are all linkt together in some one or other degree of affinity, for that they dare not match their Daughters in marriage into the Country, but make contracts of matrimony one with another among themselues. In this place that holy and religious man Briock is said to haue his birth & bree∣ding, who flourished among the Gaules in that fruitfull age of Chri∣stianity, and from whom the Diocesse of Sanbrioch in Britaine Ar∣morica, commonly called S. Brieu, had the denomination.

(7) The City which the Irish and Britaines call Porthlargy, and the English Waterford, though it be last in place, yet is it not least in * 1.73 account, as being the second City of all Ireland, as well for the conuenience and commodiousnesse of the Hauen that affords such necessary aptitude for trade and traffique, as also for the faithfull loyalty which it hath alwaies shewed to the Imperiall Crowne of England: for euer since it was wonne by Richard Earle of Pen∣brooke, it still performed the obedience and peaceable offices of duty and seruice vnto the English, as they continued their course in * 1.74the Conquest of Ireland: whence it is that the Kings of England haue from time to time endowed it with many large Franchises and Liber∣ties, which King Henry the seuenth did both augment and con∣firme.

* 1.75 (8) Although since the time of S. Patricke, Christianity was neuer extinct in this Country, yet the gouernment being haled into contrary factions, the Nobility lawlesse, and the multitude wil∣full, it hath come to passe, that Religion hath vvaxed (with the temporall common sort) more cold and feeble, being most of them very irreligious, and addicted wholy to superstitious obseruations: for, in some parts of this Prouince, some are of opinion, that cer∣taine * 1.76men are yeerely turned into Wolues, and made Wolfe men. Though this hath beene constantly affirmed by such as thinke their censures worthy to passe for currant and credible; yet let vs suppose that happily they bee possessed with the disease and malady that * 1.77the Physitians call Lycanthropy, which begetteth and engendreth such like phantasies through the malitious humors of Melancholy: & so often times men imagine themselues to bee turned and transformed * 1.78into formes which they are not. Some againe embrace an other ridiculous opinion, and perswade themselues, that hee, who in the barbarous acclamation, and outery of the Souldiers, vvhich they vse * 1.79with great forcing and straining of their voices, when they ioine battaile, doth not howte and make a noise as the rest doe, is sud∣dainely caught from the ground, and carried as it were flying in the aire, out of any Country of Ireland, into some desert vallies, where hee feedeth vpon grasse, drinketh water, hath some vse of reason, but not of speech, is ignorant of the present condition hee stands in, whether good or bad: yet at length shall bee brought to his * 1.80owne home, being caught with the helpe of Hounds and Hunters. Great pitty that the foule fiend and father of darkenes should so grieuously seduce this people wi••h misbeliefe, and that these errors bee not chased away with the truth of Christian Religion, whereby as they carry much grace in their countenances, they may also not be void of the inward grace of their soules and vnderstanding.

(9) This Prouince hath beene sore wasted in the rebellions of Desmond, to whose aide Pope Gregorie the thirteenth, and Phi∣lip * 1.81King of Spaine, sent certaine companies of Italians and Spa∣niards, who arriued not farre from Dingle, fortified themselues, & gaue it the name of Fort de Ore, sounding loud threats against the whole Country. But Arthur Baron Grey, Lord Deputy of Ireland, * 1.82at the first onset decided their quarrell by sheathing his sword in their bowels; and Desmond fearefully flying into the woods, was by a Souldier cut shorter by the head. And againe, when the king∣dome of Ireland lay bleeding, and put almost to the hazard of the last cast, Don Iohn D'Aquila with eight thousand Spaniards (vpon confidence of the excommunications of Pius the fifth, Gregorie the thirteenth, and Clement the eight Popes, all of them dischar∣ging their curses like vnto thunderboltes against Queen Elizabeth of blessed memory) landed neere vnto Kinsale, presuming that the rebellions of Tyrone had turned the hearts of the Irish for Rome: Sir * 1.83Charles Blunt Lord Montioy in the depth of winter, and with his ty∣red Souldiers so daunted their Spanish hearts, that with one victo∣ry hee repressed their bragging boldnesse, and recouered the Irish that were ready to reuolt.

(10) God hath oftentimes shewed his tender loue and affection to this people, in laying his fatherly chastisements and afflictions * 1.84 vpon them, sometimes by winds, sometimes by famine and dearth, and sometimes againe by opening his hand of plenty into their laps to conuert them to himselfe, and to diuert their harts from supersti∣tions. In the year 1330▪ about the feast of Saint Iohn Baptist, there begā such a dearth of corne in this Country by the abundance of raine and the inundation of waters (which continued vntill Michaelmas * 1.85following) that a Cranoc of Wheate was solde for twenty shil∣lings, a Cranoc of Oates for eight shillings, a Cranoc of Pease, Beanes, and Barley for as much. The vvinds the same yeare vvere so mighty, that many were hurt, and many slaine outright by the fall of houses that vvas forced by the violence of the same. The like whereof were neuer seene in Ireland. In the yeare 1317. there was * 1.86such a dearth of corne and other victuals, that a Cranoc of Wheat was sold for twenty three shillings. And many▪ Housholders that before time had sustained and relieued a great number, were this yeare driuen to beg, and many famished. In the time of which famine, the mercy of God so disposed, that vpon the 27. day of Iune, in the yeare 1331. there came to land such a mighty multitude of great * 1.87Sea-fishes (that is) Thursheds, such as in many ages past, had neuer beene seene, that the people were much comforted in this distresse, and receiued great reliefe and sustenance by the same.

* 1.88 (11) Places of Religion in this Country, were the two Abbayes at Yoghall, called the North-Abbey, and South-Abbey. The two Abbyes at Limericke, Saint Francis Abbey, and Saint Dominick Abbey: The two Abbayes at Corke, the Abbay of the Ile, & Saint Francis Abbey: and the famous Abbey (in times past) of the ho∣ly Crosse, which hath had many priuiledges and liberties granted vn∣to it in honour of a peece of Christs Crosse, that vvas, (as they say) * 1.89 sometimes preserued there. Thus were Christians perswaded in ancient times. And it is a wonder in what Troopes and Assemblies people do (euen yet) conflow thither vpon deuotion, as vnto a place of holinesse and sanctity: so firmely are they setled in the religion of their fore▪fathers, which hath been increased beyond all measure by the negligent care of their teachers, who should instruct their ig∣rance, and labour to reduce them from the errours they perseuere in.

This Prouince is gouerned by a Lord President, vvho hath one Assistant, two learned Lawyers, and a Secretary to keepe it in duty & * 1.90obedience. It vvas in times past diuided into many parts, as Towoun, that is, North Mounster, Defwoun, that is, South-Mounster, Hier∣vvoun, that is, West-Mounster: Mean-Woun, that is, middle Moun∣ster: * 1.91and Vrvvoun, that is, the Front of Mounster. But at this day it is distinguished into these Counties, Kerry, Desmond, Li∣mericke, Tipperary-Holycrosse, Waterford, and Corke: which county in times past had been a Kindgome, containing with it Des∣mond * 1.92also: for so in the Graunt giuen by King Henry the second vnto Robert Fitz-Stephen, and to Miles de Cogan; it is called in these word; Know ye that I haue graunted the Whole Kingdom of Cork, excep∣ting * 1.93the City and Cantred of the Oustmans, to hold for them and their heires of me, and Iohn my son by the seruice of sixty Knights. The county of Wa∣terford, King Henry the sixt gaue vnto John Talbot Earle of Shrews∣bury, * 1.94 with the name, stile and title of Earle of Waterford, which was afterward againe assumed to the crowne. Touching the county of Holy-crosse, as the opinion of that ••much frequented Abbey, is much lessened, so that countie is swallowed vp altogether in the county Tipperary. It is fortified with fiue strong Castles, traded with sixe Market Towns, and diuided as follovveth.

THis Country, the natiues call Leighnigh, the Britains Lein, In Latine Lagenia, in the an∣cient * 1.95liues of the Saints La∣gen, and in English Leinster. It lieth East-ward along Hi∣bernicum Sea, on Cannought side Westward it is bounded with the Riuer Shanon, the North, with the territory of Louth, and the South with part of the Prouince of Munster. This County butteth vp∣on England, as Mounster and Cannought doe vpon Spaine.

* 1.96 (2) The forme thereof is Triangle, and sides not much vn∣equall, from her South-East vnto the West-point about 80. miles, from thence to her North-West about 70. miles, and her East coast along the Irish-Seashore eighty. The circum∣ference vpon two hundred and seuenty miles.

* 1.97 (3) The Aire is cleere and gentle, mixt with a temperate disposition, yeelding neither extremity of heat or cold, ac∣cording to the seasonable times of the yeare, and the natu∣rall condition of the Continent. The Soile is generally fruit∣full, * 1.98plentifull both in fish and flesh, and in other victualls, as butter, cheese and milke: It is fertile in Corne, Cattle, and pasture grounds, and would bee much more if the husband∣man did but apply his industry to which hee is inuited by the commodiousnes of the Country. It is well watered with riuers, and for the most part wel woodded, except the coun∣ty of Diuelin, which complaines much of that want, beeing * 1.99so destitute of wood that they are compelled to vse a clam∣my kind of fat turffe for their fuell, or Sea-coale brought out of England.

* 1.100 (4) The Inhabitants of these parts in Ptolomies daies, were the Brigantes M••napij Cauc•• and Blam, from which Blani may seeme to be deriued and contracted, the later and mo∣derne names of this Countrey 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 Birgantes, Florianus del Campo (a Spaniard) labours to fetch from the Brigants of his owne Country, of whom an ancient City in Spaine (called Brigantia) tooke the name. But they may seem rather to deriue their denomination from the riuer Birgus, about which they inhabited; for to this, the very name is almost sufficient to perswade vs.

* 1.101 (5) The Commodities of this country doe chiefly con∣sist in Cattle, Sea-fowle, and fish. It breeds many excellent good horses (called Jrish-hobbies) which haue not the same pace that other Horses haue in their course, but a soft and round amble, setting very easily.

* 1.102 (6) This Country hath in it three Riuers of note, termed in old time the three sisters, Shour, Neor, and Barr••o, which issue out of the huge Mountaines (called by Giraldu••, Bladi∣n•• Montes) as out of their mothers wombe, and from their rising tops descending with a downfall into seuerall Chan∣nels, before they empty themselues into the Ocean, ioine hand in hand al together in a mutual league & combinatiō.

* 1.103 (7) Places very dangerous for shipping are certaine flats and shallowes in the Sea, that lie ouer against Holy point, which the Marriners call the Grounds. Also the Shelues of sand that lye a great way in length opposite to N••wcastle, which ouerlooketh them into the Sea from the top of an high hill adioyning.

* 1.104 (8) In this Prouince, are placed many faire and wealthy Townes, as Kilkenny, which for a Burrough towne excels all * 1.105the midland Borroughs in this Iland. Kildare, which is a∣dorned with an Episcopall see, and much graced in the first infancy of the Irish Church, by reason of saint Bridgid a ve∣nerable virgin, had in great account and estimation for her virginity and deuotion, as who was the disciple of S. Patri∣ark•• * 1.106of so great fame, renowne and antiquity: Also Weisford (a name giuē vnto it by these Germans whom the Irish term Oustmans) a town though inferiour to some, yet as memo∣rable as any, for that it became the first colony of the Eng∣lish, and did first submit it selfe vnto their protection, being assaulted by Fitz-Stephen, a Captaine worthily made fa∣mous for his valour and magnanimity.

* 1.107 (9) But the City which fame may iustly celebrate alone, beyond all the Citties or Townes in Ireland, is that which wee call Diuelin, Ptolomee, Eblana, the Latinists Dublinium, and Dublinia, the west Britaines Dinas Dulin, the English-Saxons in times past Duplin, and the Irish Bala-cleigh, that is, the towne vpon hurdles; for it is reported that the place be∣ing fennish and moorish, when it first began to bee builded, the foundation was laid vpon hurdles.

* 1.108 (10) That it is ancient, is perswaded by the authority of Ptolomy. That it was greeuously rent and dismembred in the tumultuous warres of the Danes, and brought afterwards vnder the subiection of Eadgar King of England (which his Charter also confirmeth wherein hee calleth it, the Noble Citty of Ireland) is writtē by Saxo-Grammaticus. That it was * 1.109built by Harold of Norway, which may seem to bee Harold Harfager, when he had brought the greatest part of Ireland into an awfull obedience vnto him, wee reade in the life of Gryffith Ap Sinan Prince of Wales. At length it yeelded vnto the valor and protection of the English, at their first arriuall into Ireland, by whom it was manfully defended from * 1.110the fierce assaults aswell of Auscoulph Prince of the Dublini∣ans, as afterwards of Gottard King of the Isles: since which time it hath still augmented her flourishing estate, and gi∣uen approued testimony of her faith and loialty to the Crown of England, in the times of any tumultuous streights and commotions.

(11) This is the roiall seate of Ireland, strong in her muni∣tion, beautifull in her buildings, and (for the quantity) matchable to many other cities, frequent for trafficke, and intercourse of Merchants: In the East suburbs Henry the * 1.111 second King of England (as Houeden reporteth) caused a roi∣all palace to bee erected: and Henry Loundres Archbishop of Diuelin built a Storehouse about the yeare of Christ, 1220. Not farre from it is the beautifull Colledge consecrated vn∣to the name of the holy Trinity, which Queene Elizabeth of famous memory dignified with the priuiledges of an V∣niuersitie. The Church of S. Patrick beeing much enlarged by King Iohn, was by Iohn Comin Archbishop of Dublin borne at Euesham in England, first ordained to bee a Church of Prebends in the yeare 1191. It doth at this day m••in∣taine a Deane, a Chanter, a Chancellor, a Treasurer, two Arch-Deacons, and twenty two Prebendaries.

This City in times past for the due administration of Ci∣uill Gouernment had a Prouost for the chiefe Magistrate. But in the yeare of mans redemption 1409. King Henry the * 1.112fourth granted them liberty to choose euery yeere a Maior and two Bayliffes, and that the Maior should haue a gilt sword carried before him for euer. And King Edward the sixt (to heape more honor vpon this place) changed the two * 1.113Bayliffes afterwards into Sherifs: so, that there is not any thing heere wanting that may serue to make the estate of a City most florishing.

* 1.114 (12) As the people of this County doe about the neigh∣bouring parts of Diuelin come neerest vnto the ciuill condi∣tions and orderly subiection of the English: so in places far∣ther off, they are more tumultuous, being at deadly feuds a∣mongst themselues, committing oft times Man-slaughters one vpon another, and working their owne mischiefes by mutuall wrongs: for so the Irish of Leinster wasted Leinster * 1.115with many Townes in the same Prouince in the yeare 1294. And in the year 1301. the men of Leinster in like manner rai∣sed * 1.116a warre in the winter season, setting on fire the Town of Wykinlo, Rathdon and others, working their own plague and punishment by burning vp their sustenance, and losing their Castle by depredation.

(13) Matter of obseruation and no lesse admiration among them is the Giants dance, commonly so called, and so much talked of, which Merlin is said by Art Magick to haue trāsla∣ted * 1.117out of this territory vnto Salsbury plain; which how true it is, I leaue to the vaine beleeuers of miracles, and to the Credulous obseruers of antiquitie. * 1.118

(14) In this County haue beene erected many famous Monasteries, Abbies and religious houses consecrated to deuout and holy purposes: As the Monastery of Saint Ma∣ries of Oustmanby, founded for preaching friers, vnto which of late daies the iudiciall Courts of the Kingdom haue bene translated: also the magnificent Abbay called S. Thomas Court at Dublin, builded and endowed in times past with many large priuiledges and reuenewes of King Henry the second in expiation of the murther of Thomas Archbishop of Cāterbury. Likewise Tintern monastery, or the notable Abbay which William Marshal Earl of Penbrook foūded and called De voto, for that he had vowed to God (beeing tossed at sea with many a sore and dangerous tempest) to erect an Abby wheresoeuer he came to land, and being (after shipwracke) cast vp on land in this place, hee made performance of his vowe accordingly.

This Prouince containeth the Counties of Kilkenny, Ca∣terlogh, Queens County, Kings County, Kildar••, East Meath, West Meath, Weisford, and Dublin (to say nothing of Wicklo and Fernes, which either be already or else are to be annex∣ed * 1.119vnto it) & subdiuided into fifteen Market townes. It hath bene fortified with the strength of many Castles against the power of enemies, and is thus diuided:

• ...Counties
  • East meath.
  • West meath.
  • Kilkenny.
  • Caterlough.
  • Queens County:
  • Kings County.
  • K••ldare.
  • Weishford.

* 1.120 THis Prouince named by Giral∣dus Cambrensis, Conachtia, and Conacia, by the Irish, Conaughty, and by Englishmen Connaught: is bounded eastward, with part of the County 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 Prouince of Mounster, closed in with the riuer Shannon, & butting against the Kingdome of Spaine.

* 1.121 (2) The forme thereof is long, and towards the north & south ends thin and narrow; but as it grows towards the middle, from either part it waxeth still bigger & bigger: extending in length from the riuer Shannon in her south, to Enis Kelling in her north, 126. miles, and the broadest part is from Tromor in her East, to Barragh-Bay in her West, containing a∣bout fourescore. The whole in circuit and compasse is aboue foure hundred miles.

* 1.122 (3) The aire is not altogether so pure & cleare, as in the other Prouinces of Ireland, by reason of certaine moist places (couered ouer with grasse) which of their softnes are vsually tearmed Boghes, both dan∣gerous, and full of vaporous and foggy mists.

(4) This County as it is diuided into seueral porti∣ons, * 1.123so is euery portion seuerally commended for the soile, according to the seasonable times of the yeare. * 1.124Twomond or the County Clare, is said to be a country so conueniently situated, that either from the sea or soile there can be nothing wisht for more, then what it doth naturally afford of it selfe, were but the indu∣stry of the Inhabitants answerable to the rest. Galway * 1.125is a land very thankfull to the painful husbandman, & no lesse commodious and profitable to the shep∣heard▪ * 1.126Maio, in the Roman Prouinciall called Mageo, is replenished both with pleasure & fertility, abun∣dantly rich in Cattle, Deer, Hawks & plenty of hony. * 1.127Slego (coasting vpon the Sea) is a plenteous country for feeding and raising of cattle. Le-Trim (a place ri∣sing * 1.128vp throughout with hils) is so ful of ranke grasse and forrage, that (as Solinus reporteth) if cattle were not kept somtimes from grasing, their fulnes would * 1.129endanger them. And Roscoman is a territory, for the most part plain and fruitful, feeding many heards of Cattle, and with meane husbandry and tillage, yeel∣ding plenty of corne. As euery particular part is thus seuerally profitable by inbred commodities; so is it no lesse commended (in the generality) for the many accommodate and fit Bayes, Creekes, and nauigable Riuers, lying vpon her Sea-coasts, that after a sort inuite and prouoke the inhabitants to nauigation.

* 1.130 (5) Such as in ancient time made their abode and habitations in this Prouince, were the Gangani, who were also called CONCANI, AVTERI, & NAG∣NATAE. As the Luceni (that were next neighbours vnto them) came from the Lucensij (in Spain) so those Gangani, and Concani may seeme also to haue fetcht their deriuation from the Concani (a nation of the self same country) both by the affinity of name, and vicinity of place. In Strabo, according to the diuersity of reading, the same people are named Coniaci & Co∣nisci: & Silius testifieth them at the first to haue been Scythians, & to haue vsed ordinarily to drinke horses bloud (a thing nothing strange among the wild Irish euen of late daies.) And some may also happily sup∣pose that the Irish name Conaughty, was compoūded of Concani and Nagnatae: Howsoeuer, it is sure that these were the ancient Inhabitants of this Country, as is to bee seene in Ptolomie.

(6) The Principall City of this Prouince, & which * 1.131may worthily bee accounted the third in Ireland, is Galway, in Irish, Galliue, built in manner much like to a Tower. It is dignified with a Bishops See, & is much frequented with Merchants, by reason whereof, and the benefit of the road and hauen, it is gainful to the Inhabitants through trafficke and exchange of rich commodities, both by sea and land. Not far from which, neare the west shoare that lies indented with smal in-lets and out-lets, in a rew, are the Ilands called * 1.132Arran, of which many a foolish fable goes, as if they wer the Ilands of the liuing, wherin none died at any time, or were subiect to mortality; which is as superstitious an obseruation, as that vsed in some other corners of the country, where the people leaue the right arms of their Infants males vnchristned (as they terme it) to the end * 1.133that at any time afterwards, they may giue a more deadly, and vngratious blow when they strike: which things do not only shew how palpably they are carried away by traditious obscurities, but doe also intimate how full their hearts bee of inueterate reuenge.

* 1.134 (7) This Prouince presents no matter more worthy of memory, then the battle of Knoc-toe (that is) The hill of axes, vnder which, the greatest rabble of rebels, that were euer seene before in Ireland (raised and gathered to∣gether by the arch-rebels of that time, William Burk * 1.135O-Brien, Mac-Nemare, and O-Carrol) were after a bloody ouerthrow discomfited & put to flight by the noble ser∣uice of Girald-Fitz-Girald Earle of Gildare. And the sup∣pression of certain Irish (the posterity of Mac-Williā) who vsurping a tyranny in these parts, raged somtimes vpon * 1.136themselus, with mutual iniuries, & oppressed the poore people a long time with extorting, pilling & spoiling; so as they left scarce one house in the country vnrifled, or * 1.137vnrased; but were bridled and repressed (euen in our re∣mēbrance) by the seuerity & resolution of the Commis∣sioner of those times, who in his wisdom and policy wel vnderstood, that their excessiue insolence, & those their vniust doings, wold be a means to draw the people away from the due obedience to their Prince: such therefore as refused to obey the laws, and sided with the tumul∣tuous, with all care and diligence he soon scattered, for∣cing their Forts, and driuing them into woods, and lur∣king holes (for troubling the blessed estate of tranquilli∣ty) * 1.138til the L. Deputy, who took pitty of them, vpon their humble supplication, commanded by his missiues, that they should be receiued vpon terms of peace. But they * 1.139being a stiffe neckt people, tooke armes againe, entred a fresh into actual rebelliō, draue away booties, made ••oul * 1.140vprores, & vpon faire promises procured the aid of the Scotish Ilanders from out of the Hebrides: wherupon the Gouernor assēbled an army, & pursued them with such powerful violence through the woods and forrests, that after 6. or 7. weeks, being grieuously hunger bitten, they submitted thēselues in al humility. The auxiliary forces * 1.141also of the Scots, he by day and night affronted so neer, & followed so hardly, that he put them to flight, after he had kild & drownd about 3000. of thē in the riuer Moin. * 1.142

(8) About the year 1316. there was such a great slaugh∣ter made of the Irish in this Prouince of Conaught throgh a quarrel that arose there between two Lords or Prin∣ces, that there were slain on both sides about 4000 men; and so great a tribulation at that time came vpon the people, that they did deuour & eat one another, so as of 10000. there remained not aboue 300. liuing. And it is reported for truth, that the people were then so hunger starued, that in Church-yeards they tooke the dead bo∣dies out of their graues, and in their sculs boiled the flesh & fed vpon it: yea, and that women did eate their owne children. Thus appeared the ire and anger of God, in punishing their sins, and seeking their conuersion. * 1.143

9 Places memorable, are, Inis Ceath, wel known by the Monastery of Colmā (a deuout Saint) founded for Scots & Englishmen; and Inis Bouind, which Bede calleth white Calfe Isle. Also Maio, a Monastery built (as Bede wri∣teth) for 30. men of the English nation. Likewise the Ba∣ronie of Boile vnder Curlew hils, where in times past was * 1.144a famous Abbey built, together with the Abbey of Be∣atitude, in the yeer of grace 1152. These Abbais & Mo∣nasteries * 1.145erected at the first for religious seruices, and through ignorance & other obscurities diuerted since vnto superstitious vses, are now made the ruines of time.

(10) The Prouince of Connaught is at this day strength∣ned * 1.146 with 14. Castles, traded with nine market Towns, and diuided as ensueth.

THis Prouince called by our Welsh-Britanes Vl••w, in Irish Cui Guilly, in Latine Vltonia, * 1.147and Vlidia, in English Vlster; on the North is diuided by anarrow Sea from Scotland; Southward it extends it self to Connagh and Leinster; the East part lieth vpon the Irish Sea; and the West part is continually beaten with the boisterous rage of the maine West Ocean. This Prouince and furthest part of Ireland, affronteth the Scotish Islands which are called the Hebrides, and are scattered in the Seas betweene both kingdomes; whose inhabitants at this day is the Irish-Scot, successor of the old Scythian.

* 1.148 (2) The forme thereof is round, reaching in length from Coldagh hauen 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, a∣bout foure hundred and twenty miles.

* 1.149 (3) This Countrey seldome feeleth any vnseasonable extremities, the quicke and flexible windes cooling the heat of Summer, and soft and gentle shewers molifie the hardnes of the winter: Brieflie, the frozen nor torrid Zone haue not heere any vsurpation; the clouds in the aire, very sweete and pleasant, yea and when they are most impure are not vnholsome nor of long continuance, the rough winds holding them in continuall agitation.

* 1.150 (4) This equall temperature, causeth the ground to bring foorth great store of seuerall Trees, both fit for buil∣ding, and bearing of fruite; plentifull of grasse for the bree∣ding of cattle, and is abundantly furnished with Horses, Sheepe, and Oxen; the Riuers likewise pay dubble tribute, deepe enough to carrie vessels either for pleasure or pro∣fit, and fish great store, both for their owne vses, and com∣modity * 1.151of others. Salmons in some Riuers of this Countie, abound more in number then in any Riuer of Europe. To speake (in generall) though in some places it be somewhat barren, troubled with Loughes, Lakes, and thicke woods, yet is it euery where fresh and full of cattle, and forrage, * 1.152ready at all times to answer the husbandmans paines: But Nature is there so little beholding to Art or Industrie, that the various shew vpon bankes, the shady groues, the greene meadowes, hanging hills, and fields fit for corne, (if they were manured) doe seeme to bee angry with their inhabi∣tants for suffering all to grow wild and barbarous, through their owne negligence.

* 1.153 (5) This Countrey in Ptolomies daies, was wholly pos∣sessed by the Voluntij, Darni, Robogdij, and Erdini, who branched and spred themselues into the seuerall parts of that Island.

* 1.154 (6) The people of this Prouince, were accustomed in controuersies and solemne protestations, to swear by S. Patricks-Staffe, which Oath they feared more to breake, * 1.155then if they had sworne by the holy Euangelist. Their an∣cient custome in making their King, was this. A white Cow was taken, which the King must kill, and seeth the same in water whole, then must hee bath himselfe therein starke naked; and sitting in the Cawdron wherein it was sod, accompanied with his people round about him, hee and they vsed to eat the flesh and drinke the broath wherein he sat, without cup, or dish, or vse of hand. How farre these prescriptions and customes were different from the con∣formities of other ciuill Monarchies, wee may well per∣ceiue by these and other like obseruations of those grosse times, and as yet are they more barbarous then is any o∣ther part of the Island besides.

(7) Historians relating of Ireland, tells of seuerall Islands in the seuerall Prouinces: Some full of Angells, some full of Diuells, some for male onely, some for female, some where none may liue, some where none can die; and such effects of trees, stones, and waters, that a man (but of easie conceit) may well esteeme them, as heedles as vn∣certaine. * 1.156So also S. Patrickes Purgatorie (a thing of much note in the tract of this Prouince:) is a vault or narrow caue in the ground, neere a Lake (called Erne Lyf∣fer) much spoken of, by reason of (I wot not what) fearefull walking spirits and dreadfull apparitions, (or rather some religious horror) which) as some ridiculously dreame) was digd by Vlysses when hee went downe to parley with those in hell. This is the caue which the inhabitants in these * 1.157daies call Ellan ••' Frugadory, that is, The Islle of Purgatorie, and S. Patricks Purgatory: for some persons lesse deuout then credulous, affirme that S. Patrick (or rather Patricius Secundus an holie Abbat of that name) labouring the con∣uersion of the people of this Prouince, and much inforcing the life to come, they replied contemptuouslie vnto him, that vnlesse they saw proofes of those ioies and paines hee preached, they would not lose the possession of their pre∣sent pleasures, in hope or feare of things to come, they wist not when. Whereupon (as they say) he obtained at Gods hands by earnest praier, that the punishments and torments which the godlesse are to suffer after this life, might bee there presented to the eie, that so hee might more easily roote out the sinnes and heathenish errors, that stucke so fast in the hearts of the Irish. But touching the credit here∣of (although common fame, and some records doe vtter it) I neither will vrge the beleefe, nor regard, seeing it is no article of our creede. * 1.158

(8) Matters memorable within this Prouince, are these: First, that the Bishops of Ireland were wont to be cōsecrated by the Arch-bishop of Canterbury, in regard of the Primacy * 1.159which they had in this Countrey; vntill such time as Iohn Papirio a Cardinall was sent thither from Pope Eugenius the fourth, to reforme Ecclesiastical discipline in this Iland, which was then growne so loose, that there were translati∣ons, and pluralities of Bishops, according to the will and pleasure of the Metropolitane. Also that the Irish-men * 1.160were accustomed to leaue and forsake their wedded wiues at their owne free wills, whereof Lanfrancke Arch bishop of Canterburie, complained vnto Therdeluac a King of Ire∣land: And had not this Nation beene corrupted with this vice, euen vnto these our daies; both the right of lineall succession, had been more certaine among them, and the Gentry and Comminalty, had not in such cruelties im∣brued themselues, with such effusion of their owne kin∣dreds bloud▪ about their inheritances and legitimation. * 1.161

(9) The principall place in this tract, is Armagh neere vnto the riuer Kalin, which (albeit it maketh a poore shew) is the Archiepiscopall See and Metropolitane of the whole Island. Before S. Patrick 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 named Drumsalich; the Irish tell much that it receiued the name of Queene Armach••: But the better opinions are, that it is the same which Bede calleth Dearmach, and out of the Scotish and Irish language interpreteth it The Field of Oakes. Here (as S. Bernard writeth) S. Patrick (the Apostle * 1.162of Ireland) ruled in his life time, and rested after death: In honor of whom it was of such venerable estimation in old time, that not onely Bishops and Priests, but Kings also and Princes were (in generall) subiect to the Metropolitane thereof in all obedience, and to his Gouernment alone. Among the Arch-bishops of this Prouince S. Malachy is * 1.163famoused, who first prohibited Priests mariage in Ireland, and (as S. Bernard saith, who wrote his life at large) borrow∣ed no more of the natiue barbarousnes of that Countrey, then Sea-fishes doe saltnes of the Seas. Also Richard Fitz-Ralf * 1.164(commonly called Armachanus) is of famous memory, who turning the edge of his style, about the yeer 1355. be∣gan to oppose his opinion against the Order of Mendicant Friers, as detesting in Christians, such voluntary begging. * 1.165The chief Fort in this tract, is Enis Kelling, defended by the Rebells in the yeere 1593. and won by Dowdall a most va∣liant Captaine: neere vnto which is a great downfall of wa∣ter, termed The Salmon-Leap: of which there is a common * 1.166speech currant among the inhabitants, that it was once firme ground, very populous and well husbanded with til∣lage; till it was sudainely ouer-flowne with waters and turned into a Lake, for some filthie abominable acts of the people against Nature, committed with Beasts.

* 1.167 (10) The places of Religion, sequestred from other worldly seruices and consecrated to holy purposes, erected in this Prouince, were: The Abbey which sheweth it selfe at Donegal: The Monasterie of Derie, where the Irish rebell Shane O-Neal, receiued such an ouerthrow (by Edward Randolph, renowned for his seruice in the behalfe of his Country) that hee could neuer after recouer the losse hee sustained at that time: The Monasterie neere vnto the riuer Liffer: The famous Monastery at the Bay of Knockfergus, of the same institution, name, & order, as was that ancient Ab∣bey in England, neere vnto Chester called Banchor: Also Mellifon•• Abbey founded by Donald a King of Vriel, and much commended by S. Bernard: And lastly, the most re∣nowned Monastery, built at Armagh in the yeer of our Sal∣uation 610. out of which very many Monasteries were af∣terwards propagate both in Britane and Ireland. These pla∣ces were far and neere frequented & sought vnto by great confluences of Pilgrims, till Time prooued their deuotions to bee erronious, and the pure light of the word reuealed, opening the eies of their vnderstanding, hath taught them to shake off the shame of such Superstitions.

* 1.168 (11) That the people of this County might be kept with∣in the boūds of their duty, this prouince hath been secured with 56. castles & forts; & for trade of commerce 9. Market towns appointed, being diuided into these Coūties ensuing.
