consideration touch the queen service in Ireland the reduction of the country  as well to civility and justice as to obedience and peace which thing as the  affair now stand I hold to be inseparable consist of four point the extinguish  of the relic of war the recovery of the heart of the people the remove of the  root and occasion of new trouble plantation and building for the first concern  the place time and perticularities of further prosecution in fact I leave it  to the opinion of man of war only the difficulty be to distinguish and discern  the preposition which shall be accord to the end of the state here that be  small and summary towards the extirpation of the trouble from these which  though they pretend the public end yet may refer indeed to the more private  and Compendious end of the Council there or other particular governor or  captain but still as I touch in my letter I do think much let blood in  declination sickness be against method of cure and that it will but exasperate  necessity and despair and percase discover the hollowness of that which be do  already which now blaze to the best show for Taglaes and proscription of two  or three principal rebel they be no doubt justice jentium lawful in Italy  usual practice upon the Bandelty best in season when a side go down and may do  good into kind the one if they take effect the other in the distrust which  follow among the rebel themselves but of all other point to my understanding  the most effectual be the express or impress of the design of this state upon  that miserable desolate kingdom contain the same between these two listen or  boundary the one that the queen seek not a extirpation of the people but  reduction that now she have establish they by her royal power arm accord to  the necessity of the occasion her majesty take no pleasure in the effusion of  blood or displant of ancient generation the other that her majesty princely  care be principal and intentionably bend upon that action of Ireland that she  seek not so much the ease of charge as the royal performance of her office of  protection and reclaim of these her subject in a word that the case be alter  as far as may stand with the honour of the time pass which it be easy to  reconcile as in my last note I show again I do repeat that if her majesty  design be to reduce wild barborous people to civility justice as well as to  rebel to obedience it make weakness true christianity condition turn grace so  have a fineness in turn civility upon point of honour which be agreeable to  the honour of these time and beside if her majesty shall sudden abate the  listen of her force and shall do nothing to countervail it in point of  reputation of a public proceed I doubt thing may too soon fall back into the  state they be in next to this add reputation to the cause by imprint a opinion  of her majesty care and intention upon this action be the take away of  reputation from the contrary side by cut off the opinion and expectation of  foreign succour to which purpose this enterprise of Algiers if it hold accord  to the advertisement and if it be not wrap up in the period of this summer  seem to be a opportunity from heaven lowered and to the same purpose nothing  can be more fit then a treaty or shadow of a treaty of a peace with Spain  which I think shall be in our power at least hearsay as far as to the delude  of as wise people as the Irish last for this point that the ancient call  potestas factum rediundi and Sanctatem and which be but a mockery when the  enemy be strong or proud but effectual in his declination that be a liberal  proclamation of grace and pardon to such as shall submit and come within a  time prefix of of some further reward to such as shall bring other in that our  sword may be sharpen against other be a matter of good experience and now I  think will come in time and percase though I wish the exclusion of such a  pardon exceed few yet it will not be safe to continue some of they in their  strength but to translate they and their generation into England and give they  recompense and satisfaction here for their possession there as the king of  Spain do by diverse family of Portugal to the effect of all the point  aforesaid and likewise these which fall within the division follow nothing can  be in priority either of time or matter precedent to the send of some  Commission of the continuance and res to look into et  to bring together for  it must be a very significant demonstration of her majesty care of that  kingdom a credence to any that shall come in and submit a bridle to any that  have their fortune there and shall apply their proposition to private end and  a evidence that her majesty politic course be without neglect or respiration  and it have be the wisdom of the best example of government towards the  recovery of the heart of the people there be but three thing in nature a thing  religion justice and protection obligation and reward for religion to speak  first of piety and then of policy all divine do agree that if conscience be to  be enforce at all where they differ yet two thing must proceed out of their  enforcement the one mean of justification and the other of operation neither  of which they have yet have beside till they be more like reasonable man then  they yet be their society be rather scandalous to true religion then otherwise  as pearl cast before swine for till they be cleanse from their blood  incontinency and theft c which be now not the lapse of particular person but  the very law of the nation they be incompetible with religion refed with  policy there be no doubt but to wrestle with they now be direct opposite to  their reclaim and can but continue their alienation of make from this  government beside one of the principal pretence whereby the head of the  rebellion have prevail both with the people and with the foreigner have be the  defence of the catholic religion and it be that likewise have make the  foreigner reciprocal more plausible with the rebel therefore a toleration of  religion for a time not definite except it be in some principal town and  precinct after the manner of some French edict seem to I to be a matter  warrantable by religion and in policy of absolute necessity and the hesitation  in this point I fear have be a great cast back of the affair there neither if  any English papist or recusant shall for liberty of his conscience transfer  his person family and fortune thither do I hold it a matter of danger but  expedient to draw a undertake and to further population neither if Rome will  cousin it self by conceive it may be some degree to the like toleration in  England do I hold it a matter of any moment but rather a good mean to take off  the science and eagerness of the humour of Rome and to stay further  excommunication and ininterdictions of Ireland but there will go hand in hand  with this same course of advantage religion indeed where the people be capable  thereof be the send over of some good preacher especial of that sort which be  vehement and zealous persuader and not scholastical to be resident in the  principal town allow they some stipend out of her majesty revenue as her  majesty have most religious and gracious do in Lancashire and the great  recontinuing and replenish the college begin at Dublin the place of good man  to be bishop the take care of the version of bible catechism and other book of  instruction into the Irish language and the like religious course both for the  honour of God and for the avoid of scandal and in satisfaction here by a  toleration of religion there for instance the barbarism and desolation of the  country consider it be not possible they shall find any sweetness at all of it  which have be the error of time pass formal and fetch far off from the state  because it will require run up and down for wooer of poll and exaction by fee  and many oher delay and charge and therefore there must be a interim in which  the justice must be only summary the rather because it be fit and safe for a  time the country do participate of a marshal government and therefore I can  wish in every principal town or place of habitation there be a captain or  governor and a judge such as recorder and learned steward be here in  corporation who may have a prerogative Commission to hear and determine  secundum saenam discretion and as near as may be to the custom and law of  England and that by bill or plaint without original Writ reserve from their  sentence matter of free hold and inheritance to be determine before a superior  judge itenert and both sentence aswell the bailiwick judge as the itinerant to  be reverse if cause be before the Council of the prince to be establish with  fit information for obligation and reward it be true no doubt which be ancient  say that a state be contain in two word prize and penalty and I be persuade if  a penny in the pound which have be spend in penalty for this kind of war be  but penalty a chastisement of rebel without other fruit or emolument of this  state have be spend in prize that be in reward thing have never grow to this  extremity but to speak forward the keep of the principal Irish person in term  of contentment and without particular complaint and general the carry of a  even course between the English and the Irish whether it be in competition or  whether it be controversy as if they be one nation without the same partial  course that have be hold by the governor and counsellor that some have savour  the Irish and some contrary be one of the best medicine of that state and as  for the point of govern their nobility aswell in this court as there of  knighthood if education of their child there and the like point of comfort and  allurement they be thing which fall into every man consideration for the  extirpate of the seed of trouble I suppose the main root be but three the  first the ambition and absoluteness of the chief of the family and sect second  the licentious idenesse of their kern and soldier thatly upon the country by  sesses and such oppression and the three the barbarous custom in habit of  apparel in these poet or herald that inchant they in savage manner and sundry  other such dregs of barbarism rebellion which by a number of politic statute  of Ireland meet to be put in execution be already forbid unto which such  addition may be make as the present time require but the deduce of this  barbarism require a more particular notice of the state and manner there there  fall within my compass for plantation and building I do find it strange that  in the last plot for the population of Munster there be limitation how much in  demesne and how much in farm and tenantry how many building shall be erect how  many Irish in mixture shall be admit but no restraint that they may not build  parsim at their pleasure much less any condition that they shall make place  fortify and defensible the which be too much secureness to my understanding so  as for this last point of plantation and building ere be woe consideration  which I hold most material the one of quicken the other for assure the first  be that choice be make of such person for the government of town and place and  such undertaker be produce as be man gracious and well belove and be like to  be well follow wherein for Munster it may well be because it be not res  intigra but that the former undertaker stand interest there will be some  difficulty but sure in I opinion either by agree with they or by over rule  they by a parliament in Ireland which in this course of a politic proceed  infinite occasion will require speedy to be hold it will be fit to supply fit  qualify person for undertaker the other that it be not best as heretofore to  the pleasure of the undertaker and adventurer where and how to build and plant  but that they do accord to a prescript or formilary for first the place both  Maritine and in land which be fit for colony and garrison aswell for doubt of  foreigner as for keep the country in bridle will be find survey and resolve  upon and then that the Pattenties be tie to build on those place only and to  fortify as shall be think convenient and last it follow of course in country  of new populations to invite and provoke inhabitant by ample liberty and  charter
