which did lie in the way of M. Alexanders preserment in Ireland being so far remote and out of the eyes of those that sought his ruine and confusion here and when he had done all this he sent M. Alexander notice thereof But this storm was no sooner thus blown over but another cloud ariseth at first as little as a mans hand which afterward covered all his Fortune again with blacknesse threatning a mighty showre of destruction to follow if not sheltered from the violence of it It was M. Alexanders good hap by Gods assistance and his good endeavours to gain the good opinion of many Noblemen Gentlemen and others in that Kingdom and by their countenance and employment acquired much for the livelihood and subsistence of himself and family and was in a fair way of preferment and doing good for himself his wife and children which his enemies here no sooner understanding of purpose to blemish him took occasion to send over into Ireland many copies of the said unjust Sentence which they caused to be shewn to all Master Alexanders best friends and Clients there to weaken him in their good esteem and divulged and published the same alsO unto all his enemies there as sho can be a Practiser at Law and be just and faithfull to his Client and zealous in their Causes but shall and must have an ill report of the adverse side who will hugge such an opportunity to do him mischief In all places also they made it the subject of their discourse at Councel-Table and in all the Courts of Justice But amongst the rest they made use of one Master Richard Fitz Gerald as he is called his fathers mothers Sirname I know not But because there are many Families of the Fitz-geralds in that Kingdom to let you know the man I mean he is Sir Dudly Loftus Knight his foster-brother and was bred up with him a Boy at School and maintained by Sir Dudleys father also to wait upon his said son in that time by which he got so much learning as afterwards he became Master Greenham an Attorneys Clerk in Ireland and having the great fortune to marry with the sister of a worthy gentleman was promoted to be an Attorney in the Common-Pleas in Ireland And aspiring to attain yet to greater Offices in that Common-wealth and Master Alexander having then purchased the Office of the Kings Bench there in Ireland during the life of one Master Henry Andrews the present Patentee and Master Fitz-Geralds brother in law being also joyned Patentee with the said Master Andrews but had bound himself both by Articles of agreement and recognizance not to meddle with the same during Master Andrews his life And Master Fitz-Gerald having understood that the way to rise unto preferment was to attempt something against Master Alexander whom if he could overthrow he was confident of the same good successe to follow him thereupon as happened to Master Fountain and Master Cook the Lawyers in those brave atchievements which they accomplished against him as aforesaid And hereupon that he might be made secundary of that Office with his brother did undertake to out Master Alexander thereof and therefore first preferred a Bill of Complaint in his said brother in laws name in his Majesties Court of Exchequer in ireland against Master Alexander and his Deputies the effect whereof was to gain the possession and execution of the said Office from Master Alexander but upon such slight and slender grounds as there was neither law nor equity to warrant any such Demand Yet Master Alexander well understanding the course of things in that Kingdom and the alliances and dependence of one man unto another and how far power and greatnesse might possibly prevail to do him hurt and perceiving the inclination of the Court of Exchequer there where the Cause depended to over-rule a Demurrer which he had caused his Deputies to put in for their and his defence in that Suit made his repair over into England with the Proceedings to be advised here by Counsel the best he could for to maintain his just right and interest in the said Office But his departure was no sooner understood but the said mastere Fitz-Gerald posts over after him into England for London purposely to have caused the remain of the said Sentence to have been executed upon him and to have restrained him from making his return He gained also letters of Credence and Recommendation from Doctour Usher Lord Primate of Ireland and others to some Noble Personages and others here in England to assist him in such occasions and busineffe as he should have then here to do And being come to London he made use of these generalls against Mastere Alexander in particular contrary to the minde of those from whom he received those Letters and first he contrives a Writing which he stiles An Information against Jeromy Alexander sent out of Ireland the 12 of July 1633. which he delivereth unto one Master Archibald Hamilton that then was agent here for the said Lord Primte of Ireland and others and insinuates unto him that that thing was the businesse which he came about and had to do and which was recommended unto him the said Hamilton by the said Letters of the Lord Primate to assist Master Fitz-Gerald in Whereupon Master Hamilton wnet unto Mastere Alexanders old friends the late Archbiship of Canterbury Laud and the Lord Coventry then Lord Keeper and shewed them the said paper which was presented unto his Majestie with all the Aggravations possible to incense and cause his Highnesse indignation and displeasure to continue if not to wax more hot and fierce against him insomuch as his Majestie well knowing some of Master Alexanders good friends at Court who had often laboured with his Majestie in his behalf informed them thereof that for the time to come they might no more sollicite for him And in the interim Mastere Fitz-Gerald or some other for him upon his earnest sollicitation had procured a Warrant from the said Lord keeper Coventry directed to the Warden of the Fleet strictly charging and commanding him to make diligent search for Master Alexander in London and wheresoever for to apprehend him and restrain him in safe custodie till he should perform all the parts of the said Sentence which Mastere Fits-Gerald and the Warden of the Fleet did pursue with their utmost diligence And that this truth may yet appear the clearer be pleased to cast your eye upon the same Information which followeth in these words An information against Jeromy Alexander sent out of Ireland the 12 of July 1633. IEromy Alexander an Utter-Barrester of Lincolns-Inne being formerly an Attorney was censured in the high Court of Star-Chamber Mich. 2 Caroli for a very foul offence in falsifying copies of the Records of that Court to the end he might mislead the judgement of the said Court against a person whom he prosecuted His Censure was First to be utterly disabled to practice as a Counsellour at Law

publikely or privately nor to have born any Office What course could he have then taken for a living dig he could not and to beg he was ashamed and what other way had been left him whereby to have maintained himself and family And this this worthy Gentleman would have done to have satisfied his Spleenatick humour Yet like the son of such a father he gives this reason for it In regard saith he of his constant persisting in foul practice having thereby done prejudice to some of the Nobility and severall of the Clergie in that Kingdom You well know who was the father of such untruths from the beginning And Master Alexander is certainly perswaded that it was the invention of his own brain for wrong he never did to any man in that or this Kingdom nor in all the world that he is conscious of unto himself nor did any man there that was not of his Confederacy ever complain of the least ill measure or miscarriage done him by Master Alexander And those Complaints wherein he had a hand albeit they had the said Lord Deputies best countenance and assistance and what he and all the enemies which he had could invent and put upon him yet did Master Alexander clear himself of whatsoever Accusation and left the shame to rest upon them all to whom it justly appertained But peradventure Master Fitz-Gerald will answer this in the language that he informed it in and whatsoever his ill meaning was in the matter will take the words in their proper sense and so t is true Master Alexander by his Practice had done some of the Nobility and some of the Clergie prejudice Sure it was his Profession to do so when he overthrew them in their unjust Suits wherein he was of Counsel against them yet did them no wrong therein nor injury unlesse in Master Fitz-Geralds esteem it was not fair for any man of Law to have opened his mouth against a Lord or Prelate of those times And for the Clergie Master Alexander can but wonder that the should make use of their names in so false a thing as this when t is well known Master Alexander had no such ill opinion amongst the Clergie And that you may perceive that Master Fitz-Gerald circumvented the Lord Primate of Ireland in gaining this Letter from him under such Generals to do Master Alexander a mischief the Information being sent over to Master Alexander out of England by his friends at Court to let him know how his Majestie was thus again possessed and incensed against him he went therewith unto the Lord Primate and shewed his Lordship the same informed him that his name was made use of as one that sent over this Complaint against him which he utterly disclaimed and to go Master Alexander right therein gave him the Certificate under his hand which followeth in these words AT and upon the humble request of Jerome Alexander of Dublin practiser in the Laws informing me that he is credibly given to understand by Letters out of England that his Majestie should be informed by Letters from me hence against him whereby to alien and withdraw his Majesties favour from him in some thing now intended by his Majesty unto him Therefore to satisfie his desires herein and all other whomsoever I do declare hereby That for my part as I never had cause of any Complaint against him now since his residence in this Kingdom have never heard that he demeaned himself here otherwise then orderly and well so I professe that I never wrote any Letters unto his Majestie or any person whatsoever against him either into England or elsewhere but do wish him much good and would rather do him a pleasure then otherways if it should lie in my way Given at my house at Dublin this ninth of November Anno Dom. 1633. Ja. Armachanus Which being sent over for England and shewed unto his Majestie begat a little better opinion in him of Master Alexander then before Yet whensoever his Majestie was sollicited for a Pardon in his behalf the Lord Coventry still was advised with herein as it was his place who so incensed his Majestie still again and again against Master Alexander as for a long time he stopt and kept the current of his Majesties mercy from him All which he did fearing Master Alexanders return and that he would complain of the injustice done him which you may perceive he was no ways able to answer in this matter the same so grosly appearing out of the proceedings that there needed no proof but the Records of his own actions to manifest the same And now after this Master Alexanders father in law Master John Havers and his uncle Captain Edward Havers being well satisfied by Counsel of the iniquity of the Sentence and by Master Noy for one amongst the rest out of their meer goodnesse could hold no longer but were resolved That if the Lord Coventry should interpose in the matter any longer against Master Alexander they would complain of him unto his Majestie yet first they attempted again to obtain his Majesties favour for a Pardon which with much ado his Majestie granted and for which Master Alexander doth own very much to the Right Honourable the Earl of Pembroke who being well informed in the businesse and finding with what a high hand he was opposed by the Lord Keeper for his own ends would not be denied of his Majestie therein by which means it was obtained Yet when it came to be drawn up the Lord Coventry came to the King again and would have perswaded his Majestie against it but finding him and resolved to have it done when he perceived it must passe yet then with his importunities he prevailed to have the Condition inserted in it howsoever That Master Alexander should not use his Profession here in England and after all this yet stopt it at the Seal for some time notwithstanding till Master Noy being then this Majesties Attorney-Generall came to him of purpose and told him reasons why it were better for him to passe it so then to endure a Complaint and thereupon he sealed it much against his will which followeth in these words CHARLES By the grace of God King of England Scotland France and Ireland Defender of the Faith c.
