He did not come to the Council called in 1556 against mac Connell. In 1557 he delayed joining the expedition against James mac Connell, and when he came he left again after two or three days. In 1558 he was reinstated in loyalty by Sir Henry Sidney. On the news of the death of Queen Mary he murdered his brother, Baron of Dungannon, and dispossessed his father, making himself be proclaimed Oneil. He was summoned to Council in 1559, but refused to come without sureties, Sir W. Fitzwyllyams, Sir Henry Radclif, Sir George Stanley, Marshall of the Army, and Chief Justice Plunket. On coming to Dundalk he swore peace. In 1560 he again refused obedience, and now maintains a traitor, Archbishop of Armagh, and other proclaimed traitors. He is therefore proclaimed traitor.

SMITH.] The offer and order giuen forth by Sir Thomas Smyth Knight, and Thomas Smyth his sonne, vnto suche as be willing to accompanye the sayde Thomas Smyth the sonne, in his voyage for the inhabiting some partes of the Northe of Irelande. [London: 1571.] Sine nota. 1 f. Gothic letter. Tho. Smith, Jun.1 Thomas and place The Queen has granted to Sir Thos. Smith, Knt. and Thomas his son all lands her Majesty’s by inheritance in the country called the Ards and adjacent countrys in Earldom of Ulster, if they can possess them. To those who will help them to possess the land they offer as follows : — To each foot soldier, one plowland of 1 20 Irish acres of arable land, for which Sir Thos. and Thos. S. must pay the Queen 2d. Irish for an Irish acre (24 foot to the pole). The soldier is to pay to Sir Thos., Thos., and their heirs Id. sterling for eveiy English acre (16^ foot to the pole). The first payment to be made 4 years hence, viz. 1576. To each horseman, 2 plowlands (240 acres Irish) which is at the least 500 acres and more English, paying for every English acre as the footman doth. Each footman and horseman, after the arable land is divided, shall have also pasture, meadow, wood and such like necessary. The charge to be paid by a footman, if he be furnished with sufficient armour for a pike, halberd or caliver, with a convenient livery cloak of red colour or carnation with black facing, is .£10 for his victualling and transportation for one whole year, after which time there is hope to find enough provision in the country. The charge of a horseman well horsed and armed for a light horseman with a staff and a case of dags is £20 for victual of him and his horse for 1 year. His cloak of the same colour as the footman’s, in the fashion of the Dutch riding cloaks now used. To avoid ills arising (the Flixe, &c.) from lying uncovered on the ground, on payment of 10s. by a footman or 20s. by a horseman they shall be lodged under canvas and upon beds until houses are found. Those who cannot adventure themselves may pay for a substitute and have the land apportioned, for a footman paying £16. 13s. id. and in proportion to this rate if they desire more land. Any doubting may see the Letters Patent at the sign of the Sunne, in Pauls Churchyard. He may pay his money there to Thomas Smyth, Junior, who adventures in person, or the Treasurer, who will also take payment in kind according as they are needed. Antiq. 1 (1).

This is untrue, and the Queen will pardon all concerned except the ringleaders excepted by the Lord Deputy. All subjects are to withdraw from these traitors. Those who come in within 10 days will be pardoned. Rebels will be followed up with fire and sword. The Queen will not allow any subjects to be oppressed or hindered as long as they are obedient. The offence of rebellion, and submission to a foreign and strange potentate being greater than her Deputy may pardon, the Queen has caused this Proclamation to pass the Great Seal, and it has thus the legal force of a Pardon under Great Seal. But any persons may have particular Pardons under Great Seal of Ireland. B.M. G. 6463 (214). Bodl. Arch. F. c. 11 (228). Queen’s (214). Antiq. 1 (28).

The present rebellion is caused by three sorts, some who have been hardly treated by her ministers, some fearing the power of adverse factions and having no defence against other rebels, and some incited by seminary priests. The Queen does not wish any con- quest or extermination of rebels, the name Conquest being absurd. To show her good will, a just and merciful minister has been appointed to Ireland.

It is pub- lished to-day by order of the Nuncio, and Bishops of Clogher, Rosse, and Cork. In concluding the cessation we provided for the free exercise of our religion and function, and the possessions of the clergy, as well as some other propositions purely temporal sent us from the Nuncio by Patrick Bryan and Geffrey Barron. The government of the kingdom must not be cast down and trod upon or devolve to a spiritual tribunal, which would be the case if we may not (without licence first had) either conclude cessation, regulate armies, nominate officers, appoint commissioners, or dispose of places of trust in the civil list. We appeal to the Pope, and warn Confederate Catholics that nothing done by the Nuncio will lessen the obedience due by them on oath to us. Mountgarett, Athunry, Alex Mac Donnell, Lucas Dillon, Rob.

James, sometime Earl of Bothwell his manifesto of 12 April 1567 is false. He was the chief murderer of Darnley. After this, his unlawful divorce, and more unlawful marriage, the nobles had to provide for the young king's safety, and to separate Bothwell from the Queen. Bothwell refused the single combat he had offered and fled. The Queen was put in surety as she refused to leave him, and when the truth of the murder was revealed resigned the crown, whereon James, Eaid of Murray, was made regent till the king reached 17. The Coronation and appointment of Regent have been approved in open Parliament. Parliament has agreed that anything suffered by the Queen on 15 June last, or at Lochlevin, or generally since the murder of Darnley, 10 February 1566[-7], has been caused by herself. The nobles and supporters of the Queen’s party have no just cause of complaint. She thought the shedding of Scots’ blood a pleasant spectacle. No person is to aid her or her supporters in any way on pain of treason. B.M. Cal. C. I. f. 86. P.R.O. S.P. Scot. Eliz. 14 (75), sheet 1 only.

The Justice Clerk and his deputies are to make a roll of all persons put to the horn since the coronation. The Clerk of register to report all rebels given in at the ‘Chekker complis’ (Exchequer accounts) ; the treasurer to make a roll of all escheats and remissions in eight days. All persons with letters of horning to return copies with execution within a month to the treasurer, that a roll of rebels may be printed, and affixed on the palace, the market cross, and tolbooth doors. No rebels on the list to exercise office or to be able to claim benefit of law. Letters of horning not executed within a month are invalid and must be renewed. If any persons denounced rebels appear in public they are to be seized and put in ward till they are tried (if criminals) or released (if for a civil suit). In future, on letters of homing, the treasurer is to send orders to the sheriff of the shire or to an officer-at- arms, at his discretion, to seize the goods of the rebel, the complainant to pay the expenses, to be repaid from the debtor’s goods. If the officer is resisted the sheriff (or if he will not or may not), some nobleman, &c., well affected to the King, is to aid him and see that the letters are executed.

The King has also renewed the Confession of Faith of 1580, called a General Assembly at Glasgow 21st inst., and a Parliament in May 1639. All this has not satisfied the subjects, who guard the castle of Edinburgh, stop the import of ammuni- tion, and make convocations which issue orders through the country. Many disorders have taken place in the elections for the Genex-al Assembly, overlooked in the hope of peace. But the meeting is seditious, armed in contempt of the pro- clamation, Edinburgh 16th inst., No. 1690, q.v., has refused our assessors the liberty of voting, and to hear the bishops.

This has not brought about peace. Edinburgh Castle is watched. Conventions are summoned, and send orders through the country. The commissioners of the Assembly are many of them under censure of this Church or that of Ireland. Refers to instructions sent to electors, to the private instruc- tions of Aug. 27, of which eight sections are summarized. Contrary to the proclamation at Edinburgh 16 Nov., No. 1690, q.v., the Assembly was attended by armed men. Cites verbally the promise in the proclamation, No. 1691, q.v., repeated in the Assembly as a declaration subscribed by the Commissioner [Hamilton]. Finding the Assembly increas- ingly disobedient it was discharged the next day, Nov. 29, by proclamation at Glasgow on pain of treason. They still continue to meet. Their acts have no force.

Whereas by the seaventeenth Act in the first Session of our last parlianJ in that our King- dome, Wee wth advise of our Estates there did statute and ordaine that every three yeares once at least, a parlianJ should bee kept wtbin that our K.dome, in such a convenient place & time as Wee wth advice foresaid should at ye close of every parlianJ determine and appoint ; Like as by the last Act of our said late parliam* it was appointed that the next Triennial parlianJ should meet and convene at Edinburgh vppon the first Tuesday of June last 1644. Wch date, in regard of the great distempers both of this and that King- dome, Wee could not keepe at yt time, neither in our owne person, nor by our Commissioner. But now amidst the many and weighty affaires Wee have in hand, not laying aside the care of that our auncient and native Kingdome, Wee have thought good, not to frustrate any longer the ex- pectacon and desires that our good Subjects there may haue of such a parliam1, and that ye rather, least any of them should bee abused in thinking that Wee doe, or ever intend to acknow- ledge for lawfull the Meeting begunne at Edinburgh the said first Tuesday of June last, & continued since under the name of a parliament ; wch howsoever the appointing of it 328 1645-6: 21 Charles I Nos 1886-92 to convene by Us at that day and place, might haue beene a sufficient warr4 to them for their first meeting ; yet to continue the same in absence of Us, or some one at least to represent our Royall person amongst them and by them- selves ; without our concurring authority to make pretended Laws & Ordinances, is such a presumption as Wee are resolved never to endure.

He will confirm by English Act the Directory of Worship and Westminster Assembly for three years, provided he and his household may use the Prayer Book, and that a free debate may take place for the further settlement of Church Government. He will suppress all blasphemy, heresy, schism, particularly the opinions and practices of Arians, Socinians, Antiscripturists, Antinomians, Anabaptists, Arminians, Familists, Brownists, Separatists, Independents, Libertines, and Seekers.

The third omits Erastianism and other dangerous errors. They will maintain monarchical government in the King and his posterity according to the Covenant, knowing the calamities of a change. They exhort all to endeavour a real reformation and to avoid enemies. The power of the sectaries is growing in England. These have disobeyed the orders of Parliament to disband and are now in arms. Many also are ready to support the malignants, who are quite as dangerous. From London reprint, B.M. E. 433 (17).

Their statement was unreasonable and likely to cause jealousy against the Lords of Session. Quotes statutes of James II and James V. By royal letter (19 May) the Lords of Session were confirmed, and an opportunity offered to the advocates to withdraw these appeals on pain of disbarring. On 4 July, on their refusal, forty more advocates left the house. None of these advocates are to be within twelve miles of Edinburgh till they give satisfac- tion.
