exceeding her Maiesties yearely charge one yeare with another since the beginning of her Maiesties Reigne and short of her Highnes charges in three yeares not long since by almost 50000 pounds as may appeare by Auditors Bookes and as humbly I pray you that you doe conceiue that this my motion doth not proceede from any direction but onely from the cause itselfe which I haue at Eye and wherein for zeale and duties sake I auowe and protest not onely to imploy my body and minde but also all that substance that I am well able to spare which I know will fall out vpon mee the greatest Subsidie of any Subiect in the Land through the charge that hath and will arise of my continuall trauailing to effect these Seruices from place to place for otherwise it will not be done where I might saue by feeling my selfe in places certaine Hauing thus protested to spend mine owne with good contentation I trust I may easily auoyde all opinion of intent to get by issuing of the money for I vtterly denounce the handling or directing of one penny otherwise then by the aduice of such as shall be specially assigned to that trust with me If our Auncestors when the world was more needy bare did not make stay at great summes to lesser purpose I trust the present plentifull State of England will shewe a franke and cheetefull readinesse to aduance a matter that according to the occasion now offered requireth present helpe and remedy I humbly beseech you thinke what a continuall sinke both of men and money hath this State beene vnto that Thinke also what Forraine Princes haue attempted and doe still gape for it wayting onely opportunity and if they doe catch it what a dangerous and noysome neighbour vnto England they will make it Choake vp the sinke at once make one charge of all conceiuing you doe but lend so much vpon large Interest and that you cast now your seede into a fruitfull ground that will yeeld a profitable Haruest and by your Honourable Magnanimity and care put downe the courages of those ambitious Princes and stop the course of their ambitious intentions against this Realme and consequently that And I for my part doe auowe besides that small portion of wealth that God hath lent me to afford my life well bestowed in that action with no lesse care and diligence then I haue already vsed in the short time of gouernment I haue passed which I trust seemeth not altogether fruitlesse And so crauing humble pardon if zeale and affection haue any way miscaried me I humbly end from her Maiesties Castle of Dublin this 17 of Ianuary 1584. Shortly after to confirme these conclusions and to reduce the people to conformity of gouernment a Parliament before resolued Parliament in Ireland on is now summoned to be held at Dublin where the Nobility Clergie and Commons being assembled Order was taken that none Order for Irish apparell not to be worne in Parliament were permitted to goe in Irish attire as in former time they vsed but to sort themselues in such habite after the English manner as was answerable to their seuerall rankes and qualities and because the charge might breede no difficulty with the chiefe men in Parliament to yeeld to this Order Hee bestowed vpon Tirlogh Leynogh the principle Lord of Vlster and on some others chiefe of the Irish Gowns and other Roabes fit for that place and their degrees which they embraced like fetters of which being weary one of them came to the Deputy and besought him that one of his Chaplaines which hee called Priests might goe with him along through the Streetes clad in his Irish Trouses for then quoth he the Boyes will laugh as fast at him as they now doe at me whereat though the Deputy could haue smiled yet casting a frowne vpon his countenance told him there was no cause he should thinke any laughed at him for wearing those which were fit ornaments for the place he now held and did present in Parliament but if any did so it was at his ill wearing of the same which want of ciuill custome caused Therefore since vse would make that seemely which now was ridiculous he aduised him to view the difference of being fit for all Assemblies and onely fit for the Woods and barbarous Places but quoth the Deputy if any idle or ill affected person shall put the contrary into your head beleeue it to be done out of an ill meaning to the State and worse vnto your person for contempt of order and decencie will in the end be your downfall This aduice was taken eyther as found good or out of necessity to be followed but hereby wee may discerne that custome is commonly preferred before decency and opinion before reason especially amongst people where ciuility is vnplanted Withall it is to be obserued in the The reason the Irish are vnwilling to sort themselues to the English habit proud condition of the Irish that they disdaine to sort themselues in fashion vnto vs which in their opinion would more plainely manifest our Conquest ouer them and this I take to be the cause of their vntowardnesse in this particular which made the Deputy to set the reformation more to heart well knowing that the Lords and chiefe of the Irish framing themselues in habite and plainenesse to their Vnderlings made themselues the more popular Willing or vnwilling they were constrayned to come to the Parliament in that ciuill habit which did best fit the place and present seruice In this Parliament which began at Dublin the 26 of Aprill 1585 in the 27 yeare of the Queenes Reigne Sundry Bills were passed in the first Session which being Enacted and new Printed therefore neede here no further mention but their disputes and differences arose about a Bill preferred in the Commons A Bill for the suspension of Poynings Acts. House for the suspention of Poynings Act which past in the tenth yeare of King Henry the seauenth before Sir Edward Poynings then Deputy That no Bill should passe in any Parliament in Ireland for a Law vntill the same had first a Royall assent in England This the Deputy would haue suspended by Act of Parliament to the end that opportunity might be taken for passing such Bills as the present occasion might offer for the good of the Seruice without attending the further resolution of England whereby the aduantage of aduancing present Seruices might be lost making that by delay more vnpassable which at the present might easily be perfected But this howsoeuer grounded vpon good iudgement by the Deputy was impugned especially by some chiefe stirrers in the English Pale and ouerthrowne by them at the third reading who feared perchance that something might be propounded and speedily Enacted which might crosse some purposes of their owne and therefore by suspition were caried to their own preiudice yet afterwards vpon better information that doubt being cleared they then seemed more enclinable to
