He was a Perfon of extraordinary Piety and ftrié Life.’ He had by his Wife Mzry Briden, Daughter to Sir Briden, of the County of Kent, _ Kt. Five Sons, and. as. many Daughters , our Author James being the Eldeft of his Sons, and was Born in Caftle-/trect, in the City of Uwslm, on the 26th of No- vember, Anno 1594.

Leta) 3990) HTS Ifland heretofore inhabited by divers Colonies from Britam, Scythia, Iberia, Germany and France, was known to the Antients chiefly by two Names, Hibernia or Ibev- é _ mia, and Scosta. Hybernia ( as it is call’d by Cefar, Pliny, Solinus, Tacitus, Orofius, and others ) the moft remote Country of _jall Europe Weftward, is deriv’d either from the word Hiar, which among the Irib fignifies the Weft, as Camden conjectures, or from ‘the Iberzans, who heretofore inhabited here: From whence poffibly the Ifland it felf, in Antoninus his Itinerary, is called Hiberione, and in St. Patrick’s Epiftle to Ceroticus, twice Hiberione, and once Hiberia. From either of which, the words Jerne, lerna, Juverna, Iris, Bernia, Overnia, and the Irifh word Evi feem to have their Original ; For by all thefe Names Ireland was heretofore called : From Eri, an Ivi(b' Man is called Evigena, as fohannes Scotus, an Antient Writer of the Ninth Century was commonly called, Some derive it from Eberus the Spanzard, one of the Sons of Mélefius; and others from} Hevimon brother to Eberus. But more judicious Men, reje&t thefe o- pinions, as alfo thofeof others, who derive it from Iynalphus a Spa-| nifo Captain, or from the frozen Waters of Ireland, or from aia berus a River of Spain, or from Jera a Queen, or from “farm, that is, | {the Land of the fems; nor ought we to omit here that of Sammel Bo-' | chartus Cadomenjis, who in his Geograph.

(Says he) that is, which name plainly feems Phenician, for Hibernia, by fome called lerna, 1s no more than Ibernae, or the f artheft Habstation, becaufe beyona Ireland Weftward, the Antients knew nothing but the vaft Ocean. But ( to fpeak my fenfe in the matter ) among all the Conjectures of the word Hyébernia, none feems fo fatisfactory as the Opinion f of Ijdore, and others, who deduce it from Jbertz, both becaufe of the Colonies of the Ibertaus once feated there, of which more in due place; and alfo for the affinity of the Name, to which that of Fobr Leland in Gygnea caxtione feems to re- late, where he calls the Ivifh Iberos.

Ferre & perdocust jugum Byittannos, Qua Vittoria comparanda magn. oe But this is only Conjecture, for I hold it a difficult matter to affign the true Reafon of the Name, and therefore affirm nothing pofttively, but leave it under debate. By others (as we have faid) this, Ifland was antiently called Scotia, from certain Colonies brought hither from Scythia, fo Radulphus de Diceto about the year 1185.

The Learned know how common the name of the Scythians is among. antient Writers, and it is a receiv’d Opinion of the moft diligent Inquirers into the Antiquities of Treland, that the European or Celto-Scythians divers times fent Colo- nies into Ireland, {fo Nennius or Ninius the Britain, who flourifh’d in the year 850.

Lajftly came the Scots from Spain mto Ireland, &'c¢. and at laft came Clan Heétor and Inha- bited there with his People to this day. Yet we find no certain ftory of the Original of the Scots. If any would know how long Ireland was defert and uninhabited, the moft knowing of the Scots have told Ireland when|me thus, The Scythians zn the fourth Age of the World obtained firft Inhabited. |Treland, and about the beginning of his Book he computes the fourth Age of the World, to be from David to Daniel, or till the time of the Perfan Empire.

Some fancy that it was called Scotia from the word cxtves as if it lay involv’d Jin darknefs, others from Scorz, wife of Gaothelus, Daughter of 1 know not what King Pharoh, and that the Irifh Language was fram’d by the fame Gaothelus or Gardelus, and was call’d Gaolic, or accor. ding to the Vulgar, Gelic, as if taken from other Languages , but thefe kind of fictions are exploded by the Learned.

How near Ireland is to Britain is fuficiently known , and that Ireland was heretofore reckon’d among the Britih Ifles, we have the Teftimonies of Pliny, Apuleius, Ptolomy and Diodorus Siculus. It feems likewife probable that the Brigantes of Ireland, whom Pto- lomy feats near the River. Brigus, were defcended from the Brigantes of Brita. Astouching the Manners and Rites of the Antient vib, : thus Tacitus, The Soyl and Clime, the Cuftoms and difpofitions of the Peo- ple do little differ from thofe of Britain. And particularly, as the | Britams, according to (4) Cafar, wore a Beard only on the upper . lip, and their Hair long, fo the Antient Iri/b wore their Beards, and : a . |their Hair (bythe Modern called Gisbs) hanging down their backs. a The Druids alfo and Bards were held in great Veneration by both .: | Nations. But as the antient /ri/b borrowed not a few of their Cu- ae ftoms from the Br#ains, fo they had others from the Scythsans, as ae may be gathered from their Antient Cuftoms in their Oaths, Marria-} a ges, Feaftings, Dancmgs and Funerals, compar’d with thofe of the page a Scythians in Herodotus, Solinus, Diodorus, Lucianus, and other Anti- Meee Te ent Writers. Moreover their Wicker Sheilds, their Bows and {hort po - Arrows were the very Arms of the Scythians. But whether after : the manner of the Scythzans they were likewife eaters of Men as (5) d Awe Geograp- | Szyabo notes, I much doubt, for Strabo himfelf confeffes that in that ar imatter he had not fufficient Teftimony. Nor can I here omit the opinion of fome Learned Men who think that both thofe Nations ESTE 5 The ANFFQUITIES (a) lib. 5. C5. jhad their Name from their dexterity in the ufeoftheBow. To which we may add that the Dutch call the Scythzans and Scots by one} Name Scutten. Laftly, after the manner of the Scythzans, for en- couragement to themfelves, and terror to the Enemy, they ufed before a Battle to repeat the word Farah, Farah, with a great cry, as the Greczans of old on the fame occafion us’d the word £ileleu (as Platarch and Suidas obferve ) or as others fay, Alala, and that the Romans us’d fuch a Martial cry before the Battle, ‘is affirm’d by Am- mianus (c) Marcellinus, who cailsfuch a cry Barritus,. becaufe per- | haps it refembled the voice of the Elephant, which ( according to Pompeius Feftus .) is faid Barrive, to Bray. To affign, the exact time when /reland was firft Inhabited, cannot reafonably be ex-] pecied from me. For we know that the Beginnings of Antiquity, unlefs where we have light from Scripture, are very uncertain. But as it is very probable, that the firft Inhabitants came from Britain, its Neighbour Ifland, and from {mall beginnings other new Coionies, as the Brigantes, €sc. poflefsd the Eaftern ‘parts of Ireland, lying ineareft to Britain. So it may likewife be allow’d that other.

To this we may add, that (2) Bede divides dveland into the North and South Scots. There is another Antient Divifion of Ireland into Five Provinces, Munftev, Lemfier, Conaught, Uifter and Meath. Of which Divifion a ME Code of the Minorites (as ’tis thought ) of Mountfernand, fays thus , Munfter contaimes 70 Cantreds, Leinfler 31, Conaught 30, Uifier 35, Meath 18. A Canired contains 30 Town-Lands, every Town- land may Maintain 300 Cows, fo that the Cows being divided ito four Herds, none of them f{hoald be near to the otheyv. And every Townland coutaius 8 Garucats. ‘The Book from whence we took this Divifion, was written about the beginning of the Reign of Edward L And is at prefent extant in the Learned Primate Wfher’s Library. The like Divifion of Ireland is in the Regifter of the Abby of Duisk, only Gonanght is there faid to contain 26 Cantreds. The Author of this Book was one Fyutm, but when that Eytan lived doth not appear, nor-can I affirm he was the fame with that Fyntimn who died Anno Dom. DCH By this Divifion the number of Cantreds appears to be 184, that is 5520 Town-Lands, or 44160 Carucats. (6) Giral- dus Cambvenfis has a divifion of Ireland different from that of Fyutin. This Gountry ( fays he) was’ antiently divided into five almoft equal parts, viz. South and North. Munfter, Leimfter, ulfter and Conaught. And a little after, and here it is tobe noted, that the two Munfters contain the South parts of Ireland, Ulfter the North, Leinfier the Eaft, and Gonaught the Weft. He varies alfo in the quantity of the Can- tred; for he (c) meafures it thus, 4 Czntred is fo much Land as ufually contatas 100 Towns. And fothe quantity of a Cantred, which was the fame with the Szxon Hundred, is no where certain. And as the quantity of a. Cantred was various and uncertain, fo likewife of a Carucate,; which »was greater or lefs, according to the Nature and quality of the Soil, thougl» it be commonly taken for fuch a quan- tity.of Land as may yearly employ one Plough. In later times we reckon,only four Provinces, vz. Lem/ter, Munffer, Uifter and Co- naught, for, Meath ( which heretofore contain’d not only Meath, 1 mean the Country now fo called, but -alfo Wef#Meath, Longford, }fercallzaz, and fome other Territories) is counted patt of Lemffer.

The Druids according to Cefar and Diodorus Siculus, held the Pythagorical opinion of the Tranfmigration of the Soul.

VIL Of Taniftry, the Brehon Law, and the Cuftoms called Goffipred, Fofte-. ring and Gavel-kind. i JT is true that the Laws and Cuftoms of England were introduced in Ireland ,at the firft coming of the Englifb under Hen.1. and were | afterward Confirm’d and Eftablifh’d by King Yoh, and left under his Seal in the Exchequer in Dablin; but yet it is certain, that for fome hundreds of Years, they did not extend farther than the Coun- trys Inhabited by the Englith, for in all other parts of Ireland, Ta- nifiry was in ufe, together with the Brebon Law, and Gavel-kind, which Laws and Cuftoms began likewife to be received among fome of the Englifh of better Note, asappears by a Statute madeina Parl. at Kzlkemny in the XL. Year of Edw. III. under Lionel Duke of Glarence, Lieutenant of Ireland, wherein the Englifh are com- imianded, in all Controverfies, to be govern’d by the common Law of England, and whoever fubmitted to the Brehon Law, or Law of the Molec: is declar’d a Traitour. But notwithftanding that Ad, thofe Laws and Cuftoms of the Iri/h were afterward recetv'd by many of the Englifb. Nor till the Peace fettled under King Fames; were the Laws of England receiv’d and acknowledg’d univerfally in Ireland. By the Law of Tanifiry. (of which we now treat) the here- ditary right of Succeffion was not’ obferv’d among the Princes or Rulers of Countrys, but the ftrongeft, and he who had moft followers, | joften the eldeft and moft worthy of the Blood and name of the De ceafed King, fucceedéd: who, by the commion fuffrage of: the People, int the Life time of his Predeceffor, being appointed Suc- ceflor, was called Tanift, as muchas to fay, Second. Which name feems to be deriv’d from Thawe, an honourable Title among the Saxons, of whom the chief were called the Kings Thanes, or Minifters of State. Whoever receiv’d the Dignity mairitained himfelf and fol- lowers, partly by certain Lands appointed for that ule, called Loghty, _|but chiefly by certain tributary Impofitions, which he exacted at a “MG wil, — Brehon taw inufe among the Englifh o Ireland. Tani. me The ANTIQUITIES will, called Cowertngs, &c. trom which only the Lands of the Church, and fuch as he indulged by particular Priviledge were exempt ; So that every King among them was a Tyrant. They had likewife certain Judges among them, called Brehons, who at certain appointed times in the open Air, and ufually on a Hill, being feated on Clods of Earth, determin’d what Controverfies happened among their Neighbours. Thefe Judges were not ac- quainted with the Laws of England, but in matters depending be- fore them, gave Judgment partly according to the Civil and Cannon Law, and partly according to the Cuftoms in ufe among them- felves, and as they had Brehons of one Sept.or Family, fo alfo they had Hiftorians, Phyficians, Chirurgions, Poets and Harpers of other peculiar Septs, to every one of which certain Lands were affign’d. The King likewife (if he were of the moft Potent ) referv’d to himfelf the power of making War or Peace. But to return to the Brebon Law , Murther, Rapes-and Thefts were punifh’d with a Muldt, called Evic, of which the Brebon had the 11th partas his Sa- iary. This kind of Fine the Albanian Scots ( who of old had the fame Cuftoms ) called (2) Gro. But what was taken from Stran- gers, as tho done for the publick good, was after the manner of the old Gauls and Spartans efteemed commendable. They had likewife two other Cuftoms, -called Gosfipred, and ffofteving, which by the Corruption of time were the caufes of much Mifchief; ‘For from hence! began’ thofe Combinations and Confederacies of Parties, upon. any difcord arifing among the more | Potent of them, in all things lawfull or; unlawfull; So that the Condition of the Subje& was miferable in thofe places where thefe Cuftoms prevail’d. a} Laftly, to conclude this Chapter, it remains that we fay fome- thing or the Cuftom.’ which :we call @avel-bind. As. to the Ety- mology of the word.; Lambard and his followers expound it to be an Inheritance defcending to all the neavefi kindred, from the Saxon | word Gtfeleeateepn. But I think Somers opinion more probable, who in his Gloflary: derives it from the Saxon ®afel, that is a Tax, Tribute, or Penfion, and:cpnd, that is; Nature, Kind, or Condition. So that} Gavel-bind denotes a Trebutary Poffeffion, lable to an Annual Rent, and the. Services and’ Duties of other common Poffefions. But of this let o-| jthers enquire. "By this Cuftom among the Ir/b, the Inheritance |of the deceafed (below the degree of a Tan:/?)) was equally divided {among the Sons:both lawfully and unlawfully begotten, and _ they |failing, among the next Heirs-Males, the.Femals being wholly ex- jcluded; contrary to the antient, Gavel-kind of the Englifh. Sasxons; a- }mong whom, the Iffue-Male failing, Femals were admitted to Inhe- jrit,and Baftards wholly excluded; Upon this Account, , any of the {Sons, tho’ labouring under the,greateft Poverty, efteem’d himfelf a }Gentleman, and much difdain’d to meddle in Husbandry, Merchan- |dife, or any Mechanick Art.” , The like cuftom, of Gavel-kind wasal- fo. im. Venedotia, or North-Wales, till the 12. of Edward I. when by the Statute of Rutland the faid Cuftom was reform’d; and fo con- tinued till the 34, of Henry VIII, when byanother Statute it was Brehons. ’ (4) Vide Spelman in | -Gavelkind What. wholly}! ° bo Mpe . . hee ’ r Wayans iw SR = 4 1 ¥5 mewrenate ee - VEIT R ELAN D. wholly abolith’d.

So Neal King of Ireland was called Wigtalac, becaufe he had taken nine Hoftages from the lefler Kings, and had held them for fome time in Fetters. King Brian was ‘called Boruma, becaufe he had recover’d from the people of Leifer, a certain Annual Tribute fo called. Cenfela was called the Wife, S. Barr, Embarr, or White Barr. S. Comin, Fada, or Long, and Aid, the Bearded Clerk, from his long Beard, like as among the Grecians, Seleucus U1. King of Syria, was call’d Geraunus, that is, Thun- der, from his precipitate temper. Pzolomy VII. King of Egypt, Phy/- con, from his great Belly, and (to omitt others) Ptolomy the laft fave one, Auletas, trom his great love to the Bagpipe. Oras among the Romans, M. Aurelius was called Corvus, and his off-{pring Corvini, be- tcaufe he kill’d Gallus in a Duel by the accidental help of the flight of a Crow. One Scipio.was call’d Africanus, another Afjaticus, from their ViGtories obtain’d in thofe parts of the World. So he that was Born in his Fathers abfence was call’d Proculus, if Born after his Fathers Death, Pofthumus, if lame, Claudius. But he that de- fires to know more of the Koman Sirnames, let him confult (2) Plutarch. 1 return ¢o Ireland, where it is to be Noted that the an- I tient Irifh, befides thefe Sirnames, had alfo after the antient manner itheir Fathers names fuperadded, as Dermot-mac-Cormac, Gormac-mac- Donel, Donel-mac-Tirdelvac, &c. i (a) In vita} At laft in the Reign of the forefaid Brian, the Sirnames of the] Ivifh, or the names of Families began to be fix’d and propagated to their Pofterity, with the addition of the Afpiration H. or the Mo- nofyllable 72, which was after chang’d into O, and denotes a De- fcendant from, fome principal Man, asO Brian, .O Conncr &c. , Yet lit isto .beacknowledg'd, that for fome, Hundreds. of years . after, many Families had no, certain and fixed Sirnames.

However, certain it is that the Epifcopal Sees of that Age, being generally feated in {mall Villages, were foon after re- duced to a far lefsnumber. But this requiring a further fearch, we proceed to other things. | C HAP « XVIR Of the Corba, Corban, Erenach or Herenach, Scribes, Colidei, | and Anchorets of Ireland, and of the perpetual Five kept bere- tofore by the Nuns of Kildare. E Treat here of the Orders Antiently found in the Church 1 \ of Ireland, whereof the Names of fome are rarely found elfewhere. Corba or Gomorba, Corban or Comorban ( for it is vari- oufly read) fignifies, according to fome, a Fellow-Bifhop, from whence they think it is Barbaroufly contraéted into that Name; fome thin. that Comfurbach fignifiesin Irifb a Joint-tenant, and Joint-Poffeffor of the fame Land. But it is generally (as Colgan rightly obferves ) .}ufed among our Antient Writers for a Succeflor in the Prelacy or Dignity Ecclefiaftical. In this fenfe, in our Irifh Annals and Hifto- ries mention is often made of the Comorbans of Patrick, Albeus, Farlath, Columba, Fechin, and others. But here we {peak only of the Lay-Comorbans, who were often married Men, tho’ of thefe fome were heretofore improperly called Abbots, and others Priors. Tothem andtheir Families were affigned certain free Lands, commonly called Cermon-tLands, whereof more hereafter in the word Evenach. Nor (as I think) was this Order unknown.to the Welfb, tho’ called by another Name. For Giraldus (a2) CGambrenjis feems to denote by the word Comorban, a Lay-Abbot. For thus he. It -tto be noted that thw Church ( of Lhan-Padern-Vaur, or the Church of the Great Paternus)) as many others in Ireland and Wales, hus a Lay-Abbot. For an ill Cuftom prevailed, that. the Men of greateft Power in the Diocefs, at firft Conftituted by the Clergy, Patrons, or Defenders of the Church, afterward their Ava- vice increafing, appropriated the whole Lands to themfelves, leaving only the Altars and Tythes to the Clergy.

For this was done in bevia.) as Ortelius well obferves of. the Romans into Ireland, or any attempt made on it. And truly T agree with Camden, that it had been happy for Ireland, had it fal- len under the Roman Power, which might have fooner reduced it to, Civility. . True it is, that Fulius Agricola had fome intention to Invade. Ireland, when he Friendly entertain’d one of thote Kings, who had. been. tumultuoufly Expell’d; but we do ‘not find|. that he ever made. any attempt on it. Tacitus in’ the Life of | dgricola, fays thus, “ In the Fifth year of Expeditions ‘he “pais'd, overin the firft Ship, and by many and fuccefsful Battles ‘ Subdu’d Nations at that time unknown, and ‘fortify’d that} {“< paft of Britam. which lyes _ towards Tréland, but rather otit of hope than, fear, for Jreland lying in the midft between Britain and Spam, and convenient likewife to the Gallick-Oceah, held an intercourfe with the moft Potent: part of the Em- "pire. It is lefs than , Britam, but larger than the Ifles of our Seas. The Soil, . Climate, © Difpofition’ and Man- ners of the.

Domeftick Sedition, and thewd him Friendfhip till oc: “ cafton fhould offer. From him I have often heard, that | “oR “ with - . of IRELAND. . 49 : ‘“ with one Legion and a little help, Iveland might be fubdu- “ed, which would be of great advantage again{t Britain, being “ then furrounded with the Roman Arms, and_ all hope of “ Liberty removed oui of its fight. So Tacitus. From whofe words, Gamden collects, that many from Spam, Gaul and Byi- tain, retired into Ireland, to withdraw themfelves from the ae man {ubjection. But let others examin this, in matters ob- {cure, I know that opinions, are Various. ; Laftly in England, Trance and other Countrys heretofore fub- ject to the Romans ; many antient Coins, Altars, Statues, Urns Columns, and Marble Infcriptions (as fo many wonders of antique Work) have been found, left there by the Serre. Romans, but in Ireland there is not fo much as any Roman. Coin unlefs brought from fome other part, from whence we conclude with (2) Wiliam Newbridge, That Ireland wus never | (a) Rere under the Roman Power, tho it extended a far as the® Ilands Arglicar-sid.2 of the Orcades.

And (which may feem ftrange) exercifed at the fame time ‘the Funétion of a Bifhop. Hiftorians do plainly fhew that it was the cuftom of thofe times in Ireland, particularly among the Prede- 'ceffors of Cormac. Olchobar who dyed -in the year 851, And Cen- ifelad who dyed in 872, Were both Kings of Cafbel and Bifhops of Emly.

Cuaradocus Lhan- carvanenfis mentions this Cormac in his Chronicle of Wales, but he, or whoever Publith’d him in Englh, miftakes and calls him Carmot Son of Cukeman, King and Bifbop of Ireland. In the year 906, Son of Melfechlin, King of Ireland, witha great Army Invaded Munffer, and deftroyed it as far as Limerick, but Cormac who then fled, highly refented the injury, the year following entred Meath with an Army, overthrew Flan in Battle, had Pledges from him for the performance of Articles, and foreturn’d to Cafhel: But in the year 908 Fan to revenge his lofs, Confederates with the Kings of Lemffer and Conaght, and with unitéd Forces again Invades ‘Munfler. They came to’a Battle in a place called Moy-albe on the XVI. of -duga/t; the Difpute was long and Bloody, but Flav at laft had the Victory, and Cormac was there flain. There were alfo at the fame time killed moft of the Chief Leaders or Princes,- among whom are reckon’d Fogertach of Kerry,and Kellach of Offery. Thus the fifb Annals. But Caradocus Lhancarvanenjis fays that Cormac was at this time kill’d by the Danes. I remember likewife that Ihave Read in a certain MS. of Gotton’s Library, that he was kill’d by a Herdfman at Beanree near Leghlin, while he was on his knees at Prayers for the fuccefs of his Army then in- gao’d. So Different are the: opinions of his Death. His Body was convey’d to Gabel, and: there Buried. He wasa man learned and very knowing in the Jr#b Antiquities, and writ in his own Language the Hiftory commonly ‘call’d P/alter-Cajhel, which is yet /extent, and in great efteem. I have fome colle€tions out of the, faid Hiftory in an antient Parchment Book call?’d Pfalter-Narran, written above 300 years fince, as appears'by the antiquity of the Character.

Sea between Ireland and England # fo tempefuous all the year long, that it % not Na- vigable but on fome few. days. Whereas | both ‘Bees and Birds} abound there, and as to the Sea, the frequent Navigations | from, England, ° France, Spain, &c. into Ireland, and from it’ in- |to, forreign parts, are fufficient demonftrations. that it is Navi- |gable in the very Winter.

And cer- tain indeed itis that the Jrab did about this time very much re- duce the power of the Norwegians, yet being daily fupply'd with Auxiliary Forces from Denmark end Norway, they afflicted Ireland for many years after, as fhall hereafter appear. | In 848,a Battle was fought between the fame Melachlim then Victory, and 700 Danes were kill’¢.

This was that dmlavus, and this the Fleef of which Giraldus Cambrenfis (a2) {peaks. ‘ Not long after (namely after the Death of Turgefius ) fome from Norway and the Northern Iflands, informed of the goodnefs of the Country by report of their Fathers, came into the Ifland, not with a Hoftile Fleet, but with a fhew of Peace, andunder pretence of Merchandife, and feating themfelves in the Maritime Towns of Ireland, at laft with confent of the Princes of the Country, built feveral Cities in it, for becaufe the Irifh, out of a Natural inclination to idlenefs, as we have faid, wholly negleCted Trade and Navigation, #y the u- nanimous judgment of the whole Country, it feemed@: neceflary| that fome people by whofe induftery the Traffick of ofter Coun- tries to the fupply of this, might be introduced, fhould be admit- ted into fome part of the Kingdom Their Leaders were 3 Brethren viz.

In 859, Amlavus and Ivarus went into Meath with a great Army, what the fuccefs was we do not find in the Ir#b Annals, but, it feems, about that time a Truce was made between Melachlin and the Danes. , In 862, upon the Death of Melachlin King of Iveland, Lorcan Son of Cathaldus, and Cornelius Son of Dermot, divided the King- dom of Meath between them, but being afterwards taken by E£- dan Sir-named Fénliat with the affiftance of the Danes, Edan was declared King of Ireland.

But this by the way. I comenow to the purpofe, and firft it is | to be enquir’d, whether the Irib before the coming of the Eng- lifb had the ufe of Money, or Gold, Silver, Brafs or Rings adjufted.to. any certain weight. .(c) Saxo Grammaticus tells, that} Huglet, a King of Ireland, was taken and flain in Battle by Haco.a Dane, that he was rich and coveteous, and a great fum of | Money was found in his Treafury at Dublin. But the Saxons we | know are notorious for Fiétions. Particularly this whole Narration is rejected. by the moft knowing in the Antiquities of Ireland. In our Hiftorians who treat of thofe Antiquities, wefind mention fometimes of Gold, fometimes of Silver, given upon. feveral occafions, and fometimes of the weight alfo. Soin the #//fer Annals in the year 1004 Brian Boruma, or Boro, King of Iveland, is faid to have come to_drmagh attended with many of the Nobility, and having Hofta- ges deliver’d to him, he returned to. Munjfer, having firi offer’d at the Alter of S. Patrick in the Cathedral of Armagh, 20 ounces of Gold. Likewife in the year 1152, (as we find in the fame An- nals) Tirdelvac O-Gonner King of Ireland, Confederate with Dermot King of Leinfler, Melachlin of Meath, and. Tigernac of Brethny, ‘March’d againft the people of Munjter, then, in Rebellion, it came ‘toa Battle at Monimore or Monadmore, where thofe of Muanfter were put to flight with great flaughter, and their Leader gave Térdel- vac for his Ranfom 60.

See. dikewife what has been faid chap. 24. In the year -1029,and 1042. Many fuch like examples occur, which I. omit, but: whether the Gold and Silver fo given were coin’d or not, is not certain. Let us now hear what Giraldus Gambren. advantage ; for the Gold’ which, like the Spaniards, they fo much thirff after, « brought in by the Traffick of the Danes. And that the Danes and the Antient Ivifhb themfelves had Gold before the coming of the Englifb,is not ta be doubted. . This is evident in an Epiftle of Lanfranc’ Arch-Bifhop of Canterbury, written in the year 1074, to Trrdeluac- King of Ireland, wherein he defires him to reform that ill cuftom among the Irifh, of Conferring holy Orders for money; but whether that money was Coin’d in Ireland or elfe-where, is not certain, but that the Antient Danes coin’d Money in Ire- land, is fafficiently apparent from the Silver Coin of Aalaf or Anlaph King of Dublm, by fome called King of Ireland; {ee fig. 6. 1 | “The doubt remains as to the antient Iyib: And here I can- not forget, that certain Countrey-Fellows in the month of December in the year 1639 found a great quantity of antient Irifb Coins near. Glandelach, in the County of Wicklow, fome whereof are prefented to the Readers view in fig. 7. : |The reverfe’ of the third Coin feems to defign the year 1115, arid if fo, we need not inquire farther into the matter of the reft; I can affirm nothing certain, but that they feem to have been Coin’d before the coming of the Englifb, and fuch were thofe leffer ‘ kind of Farthings ofan Antient and unknown Stamp, found in a field near Kilcolyn, of which we find mentien in the (b) Records of the Exchequer. | when it is certain that money was frequently Coin’d.

But to conclude: the times of Edw. 1.

IIL I fnd nothing of this matter, but then (as appears in a ae lings Sterling when we fert Meffengers to Earl John about affairs of) of the end of thofe times) there was an Ac of State for the Goining of halfpence.and farthings in Jreland, That the Pound des mailles by weight of the Standard of the Exchange, fhall con- tain 21 fols, and the Pound of Sterling 21 fols: aud 11 denvers and the aforefaid Pound fball contain 16 Ounces of fine Silver, thar is, 3 fols and 4 deniers. So 20 pence temper’d as abovefaid made am ounce, and 12 ounces a pound, which they call Troy-| weight, and according to that proportion, till the 18 year of the fame King, that is 1344, all the Crown-Rents by weight and num- ber were brought into the Exchequer; whereas (as Sir Robert Cotton well notes) by the various changes of the Standard made in follow- ing times, no more than 5 fhillings is now allowed to the ounce. Nor need we therefore wonder that prices of all things are now treble to what they were in the time of Edward II But as to the ftate of the Exchequer of Ireland in the time of Edm. Ul. I cannot but note here the grofs error of Wal/mghzm, who in the Hiftory of 1Rich. II. in the year 1394, affirms, that Edw. III. received yearly out of Ireland 30000 pounds, whereas from the very Records. of that time, yet extant, it is evident that not the third ‘|part of that Summ was paid yearly into the Exchequer. Ih the third year of Rasch. IL. that is in 1379, by Authority lof Parliament it was granted that every one in Ireland might dig for Mines of Gold and Silver in the Lands belonging unto them, for the fpace of 6 Years, the ninth part to be referv’d to the King, and the refidue to themfelves, to be converted into Veflels, or to be Coin’d in the Mint in Dudblm: Yet with rohibition of Tranfporting Gold or Silver, or Bullion into any other Countrey except England, under pain of Confifcation. In the times of Hen. IV.and Hen. VY. I find nothing relating to this matter, but it appears that in the beginning of Hen. VI. 36 pence made an Ounce of Silver. So Linwood, who writ in that time, in the Chapter, item quia Verb Centum folidos. Here Solidus (fays he) a taken for 12 pence Englifh, 26 of which weigh one Ounce, whereas now scarce 32 pence make an Ounce. But let us’ now fee what the publick accounts of Ireland fhew us of this matter in the following times. fn a Parliament ‘held at Trim under Fohn Talbot Earl of Sbrewfoary, Wexford and Waterford; Lord Lieutenant of Ire- Jand,\in the. month of Fan. 1446, a’law was made to Sup: prefs Clipt Money, and that call’d O-Relys Money, and other unlawful Coins. Likewife an Impoft of 12 pence was laid upon every Ounce of Silver Plate, broken ‘Silver, and Bullion to be Tranfported, except the Plate of any. Noble Man or Mef: fenger, fent into England about the affairs of Ireland. Inthe Month of Feb. 1459, the Mint was fettled in the Caftles of Dublin and Trim, and at the fame time not only Silver but Brafs Money was Coin’d by the King’s Command.’ Of their walue, fee Rot.

IV. that is, in 1465 , ina Parlia- a ment of IRELAND. re a mammeea ment began at Trim under Thomas Earl of Lefnond, Deputy. to George Duke of Clarence Lord Lieutenant of lveland The! {value of the Gold Coin’d from the beginning of Eds. UL. tol the end of Hew. VI. was raifed, the Noble to Ten Shillings which before was but Six and Eight pence, and fo other h.o- neys proportionably. from that time (fays Sir Fohn Davis) the Money both Cod wm Ireland, and for Ireland, was of lefs vae Jive than the Money of England, moft commonly a fourth part | fo that from thence-forward the billing of Ireland was in value but 9 Jpence Enghfh, but this requires a farther inquiry, for the dif. ference of that fourth part relates to thefe latter times, as thal] appear. | | ; ; : | In 1467, by Authority of Parliament, liberty was granted of; Coining Money in the Cities of Waterford and Limerick, and| in the Towns of Tredagh, Gallway and Garlingford, and alfo in the Caftles of Dublin and Trim. Afterward in the 8th Year, wz. in the Month of Faly, 1475. in a Parliament held at Dyblm under Walliam Shyrwood Bp. of Meath, Deputy to the above-named Lord Lieutenant, the va- lue of Silver was raifed, fo that the Silver Money of 4 pence value Coin’d in the times of the aforefaid Kings, was from thence-ferward rais’d to 6 pence value, and leffer Money pro- portionably,. And by that Law the Mint was Eftablifh’d at Dublin, Tredagh and Waterford, and prohibited in other Towns. It was then likewife provided, that none fhould bring Money or Metal into the Mint without Licenfe from the Mafter of the Mint, under penalty of lofing what they brought. The Year following, in another Parliament held under the fame Deputy, it was ordain’d that the Gold Money called a. Royal, fhould pafs for 13 Shillings and 4 pence, and the An- tient Noble for 12 Shillings. | Two Years after (in the 8thof Edy. IV.) in a Parliament held under Girald Earl of Kildare, Jufticiar of Ireland, liberty, was, granted to the Mafter of the Mint, to Coin pieces of 3: pence, 2-perice, and a penny. Of the weight or Standard, I find nothing. Butit is to be obferv’d of the Money Coin’d in thofe times, that the Impreffion was 3 Crowns, reprefenting the 3 King- doms, Englind, France and Ireland, and that the current Mo- ney then Coin’d in Ireland, was a third part lefs in value than the Engljb Money. 3 In the end of the Year 1483, in a Parliament began in Dub- tii under the faid Girald Earl of Kzldare, Deputy to Edward Son of Richard Tl. a Law was made to break all Counterfeit Money: Againft which kind of Money, an A& was alfo made ‘under Hen. VII. An. 1491, Apr. 15. And thus much may fuf-} fice as to the matter of Money. As to the Weights and Meafures of the Antient Ivifb, we leave them to the inquiry of others, more knowing and_ better provided for fuch a work, and proceed to other matters. : Se CHAPRE ae smpnetonme pepmencsy essen OLE LE I EC ESET LLNS LEE LLL ELI LECT ‘Be j ? i Seas Megara: 5; 5 2a eae mara CH A PB. 3: XXVi.

To this Diocefs, about the year 11266, Germanus or Gelajius O-Cherballan Bithop alfo of Derry (as I find in the Regifter.of Clogher) by the power of his Nation of Kenel- eogain United the Charch of Ardirath, with feveral other Churches of Opheacrach. ig soo is faid to have taken from the Church of Clogher, while Davi@O-Brogan Bifhop of Clogher fay Paralitick in the Abby of MeHsfont, of which fometime he was a Monk, and where he was buried in the Year 1267.

The Church of S.Kiaran at Clone or Clonmacnoife. - The Abby of Clonmacnoife, formerly called Tipraic, near the Ri- ver Shenon in the heart of Ireland, was built by S. Karan the lyounger, of the Family of the drads, but Son of Boetivsor Beonand a Carpenter, from whence he is commonly called: Mac-ttetr or the Son of the Artificer, the place was granted by Dermot Cervail King of Ireland. S. Kgaran, as fome fay was Abbot here only one year, others think 7, and there he died 5 Id. Sept. 549, in the Flower of his Age, having lived only 33 years. S.Coemgen or Keivin was at his Obfequies the third night following, and S. Columba his friend Compofed a’‘Hymn in ‘his Praile. This Church was afterward cofiverted intoa Cathedral. Some exprefsly fay that S. Kzaran was |Bithop of Glonmacnoife. If this be true, we need no farther Inqui- ry of the beginning of the Cathedral. However it were, in latter times nine other Churches, in one and the fame Cemetery. of a- - tbout two Irifh deres of Ground, were fubjected to it. To the Weft of this place the Bifhops built their Palace. The Cathedral it felf was heretofore indowed with many Fof feffions, and was famous for the Sepulchres of the Nebility and Bifhops, and fome Monuments and Inftriptions, part in Irifp, and [part in Hebrew. But by little and little it declin’d, and was at laft reduced to great Poverty. In the Synod above-mention’d, held in 1152, Ginani is reckon’d among the Epifcopal Sees of the Pro- vince of Tuam, which after long debate at Rome, between the Arch- bifhops of Armagh and Tuam, was at laft Adjudged to Tuam.

The Bifhops of this Diocefs froth. {the County of Brejiny, were fome time called Brefinienfes, and fome time Treburnenfes, from an obfcure little Village called Triburna, jwhere they were formerly feated. But at laft in the year 1454, Andreas. ( Brady I think ) Bifhop of Tréburna, Erected the Parochial of St. Fedlimid, or Felim, at Kilmore, which he found a more con- venient place,into a Cathedral,with confent of Pope Nicholas V,and placed in it 12 Canons. The year following this Ereétion was con- firm’d by Calsfivs III, and about the fame time, if I miftake not, the Deanry of Kzlmore was Conftituted. As for St. Fedlimid; he lived in the fixth Century, and was Brother to St. Diarmitius, Ab- bot of Ings-Cloghran. He died on the oth of Augu/?, but what year, I know not. a The Regifter of the Church of Clogher makes him Bifhop of Cluain, which is fituate by Logh-Ern, and is commonly call’d Glunes, and fays that he was there buried with St. Tigernac, firft Bifhop of ithe place. From the beginning of this new Foundation, Andrem ‘himfelf,and his Succeffors, were no more called Brefinsenfes, nor Trt- |burnenfes, but Bifhops of Kzlmore. And it would feem indeed that ithe See of Brefmy or Triburna were not ofs antient memory, for ithere is no mention of them in the aforefaid Diftribution of the ‘Bithopricks of Ireland, as appears in the Regifter of Centius Game- lrarivs, who was afterward Pope Honortus UI.

Colman flourifl’d in the 6th Century, for he was born in the year 616, but when he died I do not find. Of this See there is no mention (which is ftrange) in the aforefaid Book of Gentius Camerarius, and *tis thereture probable that for fome Ages it had no Bp. of its own, and fome think that all that while it was comprehended in the Diocefs of Armagh, nor do I find that any Bifhop fat there, after the aforefaid Diftribution of Bifhopricks, till Gerard a Giftercian Monk of the Abby of Melizfont, who (as I have learn’d from the Records of the Tower of London ) was elected, and had the Royal Affent on the 25 of April 1227. Many of the Bifhops of this See, after the 15# Century, lived for the moft part in England, and but little here, by reafon of the poverty of their Church, particu- larly under Hen.1V.

The ANTIQUITIES a9 ie The Church of S8.Edan at Fernes, , Brandub King of Lemfter, gave the City Fernes to S.Edan or Moedog, the firft Bifhop of that place, and according to our Wri- ters, with the confent of a great Synod, made it the Metropolis of all Lesffer, about the year 598. Of which an Antient writer of the Life of $. Edan fays thus: A great City grew up there in honour oj S. Moedog, and was called Fernes, afterward a great Synod being Aj- fembled in Leinfter, King Brandub with the Laity and Clergy decreed, that the Arch-Bifhoprick of all Leinfter fhould always be in the See of S: Moedog, and then S. Moedog mas Confecrated by many. Gatholicks. S.Edan died very Old the laft of Fannary 632, and was buried in the Church of Fernes whereof he was founder. To him fucceed- ed S.Moling, called alfo Daichilla, who (as we read in his Life ) was Gonftituted Avch-Bufhop tw the See of S.Moedog. . It was already ordain’d by Brandub Son of Eathac Kang of Leinfter, that the Archiepifcopal See of Leinfter fhould be im dhe Gity of S. Moedog. The City it felf was called Fernes, which ts in the Land of the People of Kenfelach. But he, long before his death, refign’d the See, and died very Aged 17 une 697, and was buried at ‘Temolng in a Monaftery which he had there founded. (4) Girald.Cambrenjis Acalls Moling, Braccan, and Patrick and Columba the 4 Prophets of Jre- land; and\afirms, that their Books were extant in his time. The place. (fays Golgan) was fo called from Ferna the Hero, Son of Garil King of Defe, kil?d in Battle there by Ga¥ Son of Morna. Among the principal Benefactors of the Church of Fernes are reckoned Fohn S.Fobn, both for his Structures and the Priviledges which he beftowed upon it. He died in 1243, having with great Prudence and Integrity fat about 21 years. Geofrey de S. Fobn (per- haps his Brother) fucceeded him twice, firft in the Treafury of the f 1Church of Limerick, and afterward in the See of Fernes. — Geofry was alfo, before he was Bifhop, Efcheator of Ireland. It is to be. . |noted, that fome of the Predeceflors of the forefaid ohn viz. | Fofeph.O. Heth and Albin O Mulloy were {ometimes called Bifhops of Wexford, and ufed that Style in the Subfcription of fome Char- ters, perhaps it was with a defign of Tranflating this See to Wex- ford, a Town at that time more frequented and populous. Cer- tain it is, that this Bifhop ina Bull of Pope Lacs Ill. to Fo. Gomin Arch-Bithop of Dublin is called Bifhop of Wesxford. | S. Bridgets Church in Kildare. |S. Gonleth or Conlaid or Gonlian is faid to be, with the affiftance of S. Bridget, the firft Founder and Bifhop of the Cathedral of Kildare. | In the Life of the fame Bridget written by Cogztofus, he is called Arch- Bifhop and High Prieft. He.died 3 May 519, and was buried in’ his Church at Kildare. (which fignifies the. Cell of the Oak) near the high Altar : his bones 281 years after, vzz. in the year 8co, were remov'd into a Silver Cafe Guilded and Adorn’d with. pre- cious Stones. The Red Book of the Earl of Keldare (from what Authority I know not) fays that one Lonzus was firft Bp. of that} place, that Ivorius fucceeded him, and to Ivortus Copleth: And from a sr ifa ie a a © et Se FT 4A Ate 8 7 fet Tee eta eas sty Ata Re aR es ean, — Breaths at” shad ‘ Se RB v4 4 ke 5 ty he Sas ee ¥ i +2 ; Gal hist a. ae 3 135 ¢ from the fame book, Aichard Stanthurft has the tame, in his Englijt; RERET Defcription of Ireland, extant in the Publithed Holinjbead, but both {I think are miftaken ; it is much more probable that Conlath was the firft who conftituted the Epifcopal See there; which is thus’ |Confirmed by an Antient Writer of the Life of S.

The reft according to the time of their Ordination. \ ees The Church of S.Cainicus m Kilkenny. The Epifcopal See of Offory was firft at Sager, which we now call Sezr-keran in Ely OCarol, where, about the middle of the firft Century, S. Kiaran the elder. was firft Bifhop, a Man of great. Au- thority for his Piety and Learning. But I dare not affirm that he was that Quirinus, to whom with the reft of the Bifhops in Ireland, ~|the 61 Epiftle of Gregory I. was written, which we find in the Regifter of the fame Gregory. Tho’ the great repute of Kzaran, his long Life and the fimilitude of the Name, may fomething per- {wade it. This See was Tranflated to Agabo in Ofory, but when is not certain, yet poffibly it was in the Year 1052, for in that year the MS. Annals of Leznffer have this note, The Church of Achadbo was tuilt, and the Shrine of S.Kenny placed there. This S. Kenny Son of Lasdec a famous Poet, -a Learned and Induftrious Man was the firft Abbot of the Abby of ghzbo founded by him, where he alfo died in 599, Aged 72. He writ the Life of S.Colamb and \fome Hymns in his praife. 4ghavo, or as heretofore Achadbo in Ithe Life of S. Columb by Adamnanus is Interpreted the Field of the Ox, and fo alfo in the Life of S. Kenny. From hence the See _|was at laft Tranflated to Kzlkenny by Feltx O Dullany Bifhop of Offory, about the end of the Reign of Hen. II. he “eems to have laid the Foundation of the Cathedral of Kilkenny, which yet was not finifh’d till the time of. Bifhop GeofrydeS. Leger, who with no fmall coft, finifh’d it before his death, which was in the year 1286, tho’ before him, fome of his Predeceflors, chiefly Hugh | Mapilton had \abour’d much in the Fabrick thereof. Nor are we to forget Richard Ledred a Minovit, one of his Succeffors, who was at great Charges in the Repairing and Beautifying of the fame Church, particularly he new built and glazed all the Windows. among which that to the Eaft, was of fuch excellent work, that it exceeded all others in Ireland. Ledved’ died in 1360, and was : buried in his Cathedral near the high Altar on the Gofpel fide} roo years after his Succeffor David Hacket built the Belirey , it : Nn nisi 3 ‘Os j of polifh’d Stone. Alfo Oliver Cantwel (which I had almott. for- got) about the end of the 15 Century befides the repairing the Bithops Houfes at Aghore and Freinfton, and the great Bridge of Kilkenny broken by a Flood, appropriated the Church of S. Mall to the Vicars Choralls. To this we may add the pleafant Situation of this Church, which from a hill gently rais’d, has a delightful Profpecé over the City and the Fertil Country there- about, water’d with the River Neore. ve _ The Church of S.Laferian mm Leghlin. — Of the Province of Dublin, Leghlin only remains to be fpoken of, where the Cathedral was Conftituted by S. Laferzan or Molazfre, Son of Carel de Blitha. He is faid to have had his Education till his adult years, under S. Muri the Abbot, to whom his Mother, who was Daughter of a King of the Pzéts, committed him to be Inftructed. He afterward went to Rome, where he lived 14 years, and there heard S.Gregory expounding the Holy ,Scriptures, by whom being ordain’d Prieft, he returned home. Soon after he came to Leghlin, where S. Goban was then Abbot, who freely deliver’d up his Abby to him, and built a Cell for himfelf and his, Monks in another place. 1590 Monks were here under the Go- vernment of S. Lafertan, fays the writer of the Life of S. Munz,' ~ : . ir - = 5 ‘ ee ue e oe rt NE cee ate who farther affirms that a great Synod was held in the White Feld, and a great Controverfy arofe between S. Lafertan and S.Munu, about the Celebration of Eafter, whether on the Lord’s-day, or with the Hebrews, at the fourteenthMoon. But this Synod being held in the Month of March, 630, and concluded without the. defired fuccefs, Laferian went again to Rome, where Pope Hono- rius \. made him Bifhop, and at hw return (as we read in the Life of the fame Laferian) committed to him the Office of Legat im Ire- land, and not in vain, for after his return, it appears that the Ob- fervation of Eaffer was reform’d in the South parts of Ireland, ac- cording to the Order of Pope Honorius. Laferian died the 14 of the Kalends*ef May. 638, or 639, and was buriedin his Church. In the Synod held at Dublin under Alexander Bicknor Arch-Bifhop of Dublin, the days of the death of S. Laferian, and likewife of Patrick, Bridget, Kenny and Edan are reckon’d Fefta Duplicia in the Pro- vince of Dublin. Among the principal Benefactors of the Church of Leghlin, is reckon’d Burchard the Norwegian, Son of Gurmund, of whom before. Some of the Bifhops alfo of this See were great ‘Benefattors, efpecially Donatus about the coming of Hen. II, and William fometime Arch-Deacon of Leghlin, who began to fit in the ‘year 1227, or as others in 1229, and died in 1251.

Patrick, the people of Czbel were fometime fubje& to the Jurifdiction of S. Albe and his Succeflors, whofe See was at j£mly, 12 Miles from Gafhel : but who was the firft Bifhop of Cafhel is not eafie to determine. We have before {poken at large of the Son of Cormac Gulinan, King and Bifhop of Gafhel, and. he is commonly thought to be either the Founder or Rebuilder of that Church. Before him there is very little Memory of the Bi- fhops of Cafbel. The Annals of the Priory of the Ifland of all]. Saints, fay that after the rebuilding of it, it was folemnly. Con- fecrated, and a Synod held there in the year 1134. But; about the time of the coming of the Exglifh, Donald O Brian, King of Limerick, built a new Church from the Ground, and indowed it, converting the old Church of Corsszc into a Chapel or Chapter-} Houfe on the South-fide of the Choir. He likewife , beftowed! large Revenues on the See of Cafhel, to which his Son Donogh, firnamed Garbrac, gave others in Twomond, and among the reft two. Iflands called Sullesth and K4sfmacayl. This Donation. was. con-| firm’d by King Fohn 6 Septemb. 1215. About 200 years after, Ri- ‘chard Hedian Arch-Bifhop of Gafbel repair’d this Church that was declining with Age. He built likewife a Hall for the Vicars Cho- rals, to whom he gave the Lands called Grange-Connel and Thurli/- beg. The Church it felf fituate without the City, is fortified with | a Rocky and fteep Hill, but by reafon of the height of its fituation | itoo much expos’d tothe winds. In the Afcent to it, 1 remember ito have feen a great Stone, at which (as is the Tradition of the ‘Inhabitants ) every new King of Munfter was publickly pro- iclaim’d. There is likewife another Gajhel, called Cafel-irra, in i Conaght, whofe firft Bithop was S.

An antient Author (to me name- jlefs) who writ the Life of St. Colman, Bifhop of Dromore, calls him | Bifbop of Imblic, 2 wife and religious man. \ He adds, That Colman | lived with bim for fome years, and was fiudious in the holy Scriptares, ‘with Watching, kafting, and Prayer,and that St. Albe was made Arch- Bithop of ali Manfter: the Writer of the Life of St. Dec’an, as yet {(1 think) unpublith’d, exprefly affirms thus: St. Patrick, $# Albe, [ {and St. Declan, and many other Saints, his difciples, being together in \the City Calhel, with King Engufe, they ordaim’d many things of Chri\l \ftzan Difcipline ; and there King Engufe, and St. Patrick, with all the | people, eftablifh’d the Archsepifcopal Seat of Muntfter in the City and See of St. Albe (who was then Ordain’d Arch-Byhop by them) for ever. ‘\The Writer alfo of the Life of St. Albe informs us, that when \St. Albe had heard that Patrick had Converted Engufe, Son of Ne- frich, King of Muntter, to the Faith, and was with him in the City of |Cathel, be came to falute them.

So an ancient Canon, A Prince Cor Bifhop as we have elfewhere noted) may at his Death bequeath out of the Goods of the Church, the price of a Maid, either of bis movable Subftance, or of Land. It is an old Book of Canons in Benediét Colledge in Gam- brige, wtitten 700 years fince. Likewife Cotton’s Book of Canons of 66 Titles.

Thefe were Lay-men belonging to the Ma-] nour or Glebe, and were counted as parts of that Farm or Inhe-} ritance. So we find in the Black Book of Chrift-Church in Dub-| in, where the Lands granted by King Széricus to that Church, are {aid tobe granted cum Jillanis, Vaccts € Bladis, with the Villains, Cattle and Gorn.

Danes in Ireland much different while they were Heathens. For in our time in the year 1646, while they were working the Line of Fortifi- cation in the Eaftern Suburbs of Dublin, an antient Sepulcher was dige’d up, it lay South- Weft and North-Eaft, and was built of eight Marble Stones, whereof two covered, and the reft fupported it. It was in length 6 foot and 2 inches, and in bredth three foot and} one inch, the thicknefs of the Stones was three inches. At each} corner was erected a Stone of 4 foot high, and hard by at the} South-Weft-end another in form of a Pyramis of 6 foot high, but of rude work, and of that kind of Stone which we call a Mill- Stone. See fig. 12. In the Sepulcher was found a great quantity of coals, afhes and bones of Men, fome burn’d, fome half burnt; a work, as is beleiv’d, of the Danes, built in memory of fome of their Nobility, before they were Chriftians.

For in the Antient Book of Canons of 66 Titles, written in the time of the Englifb-Saxons, under the Title De nomine Bajilice & ejus fciffura,we read thus : Synod. Hibern.

If according to this Cuftom that heap of Stones at Windgate in the County of Wicklow were not there jaid in Me- mory ‘of the flain, it may feem to be a Mercurial Montment, faid | ’ there by Travellers according to the Cuftom of Antiquity, in ho- | nour of Mercury, the Protector of .Travellers, or one of thofe heaps of Stones which were heretofore laid to defign the Mears | and Bounds of Land, and were called Scorpions.

This conten- tion (that I may repeat the matter from the beginning) took its firft rife in }the year 1482; for about the end of that year Keating was difplaced by Pe- ‘\ ter Daubuffon great Mafter of that Order in the Tfle ot Rhodes, (under whofe | Authority heswas) for difobedience, and his male-adminiftration in that em- ployment particularly; becaufe he had made away divers of the Jewels and | other Ornaments of that Priory, and pawned others of them, amongft which /mention is made of a piece of our Saviours Crofs. Alfo becaufe he had fold divers Farms belonging thereunto, made long Leafes of others, and charged it with divers annual Penfions. eating being therefore deprived, } the faid Marmaduke Lomley, an Englifh-man, defcended of the Noble Family of the Lomleys, was by the faid Mafter of Rodes ordained to fucceed him. -Thefe things were done in the month of December 1482. he being thus ele- ted, the hext year he landed at Clontarf, being a Preceptory of the fame Order,two miles diftant from Dublin: as foon as Keating had notice of his ‘arrival, who for a long time bore a great\fway, having governed that Priory | _|about 20 years) he haftens thither, being attended by a-great company of Preceptory of Kilfaran.

Although Lomley made a previous proteftation againtt it, at laft he affigned to him the Preceptory of Xi/faraz-in the County of | Lowrh. Lomley gave an account by Letters of all proceedings as well to the King as to the great Mafter, and at length with that great fuccefs, that Keating was for his offences Excommunicated. Keating being offended here- at, and laying all the fault on Lomley, he with armed force expelled him out of the Priory, as the fountain of all thefe new troubles; Oavianus de Pa- | latio, Archbifhop of Ardmagh, in whofe Diocefs the faid Priory was fituate, endeavouring in vain to refcuc him: Nor were Lomleys troubles ended here, for he was about this time once more caft into Prifon by his Adverfary, what become of him afterwards I know not; certain it is that he never Go-} verned the Priory. Yet Keating himfelf notwithftanding this, for almoft nine years after he held the Priory by force, he was at laft ejected with oreater difgrace, and ended his life in great poverty after that he had feen Fames Vale to be fubftituted in his place. : | cae The Prior of this place (which is here-noted by the way) was heretofore |efteemed Protho, Prior of all Zre/and, and had his Place and Vote in the Houfe of Lords.

A few days after, by Swrreys endeavours, the Earls of Ormoxd and Defmond were reconciled together at Waterford, where they both met, giving their Bonds and Pledges to perform Conditions. In the month of O¢tober the Lord Lieutenant roundly charged the O Birnes, being near Neighbours unto Dsélin, and rebelling at that time : he routed this pil- laging crew, and drove them into their Giyzves.

At the fame time flourifhed Theobaldus Anguilbertus, an Irifh man,\ who left his Country, and went to Paris, where he was made Do€tor |. of Arts and Phyfick; he fix’d his abode there and pra@tifed Phyfick with great applaufe ; befides he was well feen in Philofophical Studies.

After his death the Government of /re- land was committed to Sir William Brabazon, under the Title of juftice of Zreland, and the Overfeeing of Ormond committed to Edmund Burler Lord Archbifhop of Cafbell. While affairs went thus in Zreland, Bellingham (whom Envy that cru- el Fury had almoft deftroyed) prepared himfelf for his Defence in Zg- land, and rejects the Interceffion of fome of the Kings Privy Council for him; faying, that Z/ his Innocence was not enough to protect him, he would be contented, that he believed the Refurretion of the Dead; for his Adver- faries might kill, but not overcome, him. Whatever his Innocence was, immediately after Briens Death his Accufers and Accufations vanifhed , and there was no more heard of them. Nay fome fay, that his Innocence was thereby fo much cleared , that the Privy Council once decreed that he fhould be fent back for Zre/and with his former Dignity and Honour ; but he excufed himfelf from fo hazardous a task: and being tofled with the Tempeft of a Factious Court, he at laft met with a peaceable quiet Haven in which he expected to live without difturbance. But the year after he died of Grief (as it is thought) rather than any Bodily difeafe. Sir. Zhomas Chaloner writ his Funeral Praifes..

One Robert Travers fuc- ceeded him, who is called Thadeus Dowling Chancellor of that place, a cruel, covetous Oppreflor of his Clergy. £xgland in the mean time was much difturbed with the continual Jars and Diffentions of the No- |. bility, the Infurrections of the Commonaity, and the robbing and fpoil- ing of Churches. | Anno Domini 1550.

In the month of Fuly alfo Thomas Lan- cafter was confecrated at Dublin Bifhop of Kildare, and the third day of the following September got Faculties for the keeping, together with his Deanary of Xilkenay. But becaufe he was married he was deprived of both of them by Queen Mary. - This year King Edward fent Men and Provifion to the North of Exg- land, neer the Borders of Scotland, whether to prevent the Incurfions of the Scots, or to invade them is not known.

But before his departure out of Exgland, he was commanded at Windfor, by the Affent of the Council, to call a Parliament. | Ofeber the twenty third, Richard Butler, youngeft Son of Peter Earl of Ormond, was made Vilcount of Mountgarret; he was a Youth of feem- | fy Stature, a gallant Prefence, and of a great Soul. | ee | November the fourth, Charles Cavenagh Mac Art, in a great Council [held at Dublin before the Lord Licutenant, the Earls of De/mond, Tir-Oen, | Thomond and Clanrickard,the Vifcounts of Mountgarret and.

Then alfo was | his Power limited, and large Poffeffions taken away from him. Some- i what after this, Brews Archbifhop of Dzédliz accufed the Lord Lieute- | ant of Treafon, (what the Article againft him was I cannot tell.) But ‘oR: \ he was recalled, and in all probability cleared himfelf : For in the Reign of Queen Mary he was again preferred to this Government. This year Milo Fitz Gerald Bithop of Offory died, being frighthed (a thing very dangerous to aged people,) and was buried in.the Priory of Tniftiock (of which he was formerly Prior) among his Anceftors. His Fa- ther was Baron of Burachurch ; but yet -was not reckoned among the Nobility. There were feveral of this fort of Barons in Jreland, an ac- count of which I cannot give : but they that lived in our memory. were the Barons of Navan, Scrine, Galtrim, Rheban, Norragh, Sleumarg, Browns- ford, Thomaftown, Ardmail, and Loughmo.

It was not difficult, indeed, to perfwade me to undertake the VVork, remembring that Now nobis folum nati fumus, and I the rather engag’d in it; not only to prefetye to Pofterity the Memory of the Prelates of Ireland, many whereof were eminently Virtuous, but likewifé to in- vite others, who with greater advantages of Learning, might trace the dark Footfteps of our Irifh Antiquities, and difcover to the publick Eye of the World inany other things of this nature, which have hitherto layn hid and retir’d behind a Cloud , that not only we our felves at home, but others alfo - fabroad, may be acquainted with our Affaires. | , Tis true, indeed, that the Revenues of the Church (among other fad exam- ples of the mifery of thofe times, known to all the VVorld) were diftratted and alienated by the Tyranny of Cromwell and his Fattion : But here it, will appeat, that by the care of our moft Glorious King Charles Il. by the Divine Providence happily reftored to the Throne of his Anceftors, thofe Revenues (the. temporal Rewards of Learning ) which thofe Deftroyers of their Country, the Cromwellians, with 4 Sacrilegious Avarice, under the pretended name of: Reformation, had Invaded, are again reftor’d. 1 Some, I know, may. object, that I have omitted fome Bifhops of thofe elder aE pea a SR ES CI TERS ERE fault to me: IfI {peak but fuccin@ly of thofe eminent Bifhops who in the firft’ Ages of the Church, taught Chriltianity in Jre/and, it is the Method I defign’d in undertaking this VVork; and thofe who defire to know more. of: them, I refer to our VVriters of Lives as to the reft. Truly I have. not been wanting in any Induftry (as far as in me lay ) to redeem their Memory from Oblivion, but it is fufficiently known, how many publick Records, how: many Regifters of our Churches, how many Charters, Annals and other. vene- rable Monuments of Antiquity, either by the negligence of theit Keepers, or the rage of WVar, are lof , which well confider’d, even thus much as I hete roduce, nay poflibly be more than could be juttly expected.

And fo the Kings of France by a Decree of Pope Stephen, in the Reign of King Pepin, were ftiled Romanorum Patricij. Patrick was born in Taber- nia, a’ little Britifh Country now part of Scotland, near the Caftle of Dunbri- tain , his Father was Calpornins, a Deacon, his Grandfather Potitus, a Presby- ter, as he fays, {peaking of his Family in his Confefions. At 16 Years of Age he was taken by Pyrates, and brought Captive into Ireland ; where he lived | Six years tending an Herd of Cattle, near the Mountain Mis; in that part of} Ulfter, now called the County of Autrim: Being fet at liberty he returned Home ; but this did not put a Period to his Troubles, for about Two years after he was again carried Captive into Ireland, but continued fo only Sixty days. After his return home, he undertook a Pilgrimage to Rome, and in his Journey thither, made fome fhort flay with St. German, and afterward with St. Martin Bifhop of Tours, his Uncle ; by whom being Inftruéted in the Scrip- tures, he. was Ordained Presbyter. From thence he went fireight to Rome, where he was made a Regular Canon in the Church of the Lateran, and ap- plyed himfelf to the Reading of Holy Scripture, to Diligent Studies, and the Exercifes of a Devout Life; as we read in the Office of the Regular Canons, approved by Pias V. He fpent Thirty years partly at’ Rome, partly in the Ifles of the Mediterranean, and partly with St. German and St. Martin, after which upon the' Death of Paladius, whom Pope Celeftin (tho’ with fmall fuccefs) had fent to propagate Chriftianity in Jreland, he was Confecrated Bifhop, and Jappointed to Succeed him in that great Work, of the Converfion of the Lrijh, A. D. 432. Wherein his great and afliduous Labours have fo well deférved of the Church of Ireland, that he is cqmmonly, called the Apoftle of the Jrih. He fixed his See-at Armagh, by the Conceflion of one Dair a certain rich]: man, A.D. 455, near the River Calin, a place fometimes called Drum/ailech, from the abundance of Sallow Trees growing thereabouts ; and fince from the Eminency of its Scituation named pest or the High. place.

Concerning the immediate Succeflors of St. Patrick, opinions vary, fome. will have it, that * Sexanus (once a Soldier) next Succeeded him ; and in his Life ‘ |written in Metre, St. Patrick is introduced Prophecying of him thus: To you an Infant [ball be Born, His Name Senanus, fhail adorn A future Minifter of God; ‘This place of my Abode. } And by the grace of God, hell be & Succeeding Bifhop after me. ¢ And in the fame Life he is afterward called Arch-Bifhop Sezazas, but doubtlefS he was Bifhop of Inifcatty, not of Armagh. n the Pfalter of Caffel, Secundinus or Sechnalus, St. Patrick’s Nephew by his Sifter, is faid to have next Succeeded him; and Patricius Senior, otherwife called Szn-Patricius, or old Patrick, a Domeftick Servant of our St. Patrick, is faid to have Succeeded Secundinus , but this Secundinus was Bifhop of Dunjbaghlin in Meath, where he alfo dyed, 27 Nov. 448.. Aged 75 years; and that Sen-Patrick, commonly miftaken for our great St. Patrick, dyed Ten years after. Others, who in my opinion are rather to be credited;-make the next Succeflor of St. Patrick, to} have been Benignus, called by our Irifh Benin, a Scholar of St. Patrick (of whom before) as appears: in Probus and Tirechan, of which fee Focelin, Ch. 39, He refigned his Bithoprick in 465, and Three years after his Life at Armagh, or as others, at Farlingmer in England, 9 Novemb. from whence his Relicks are” faid to have been Tranflated to Glaftenbury, A.

St. Bernard in the Life of St. Malachy, affirms that ‘‘ Celfus being near his Death, was follici-} “tous, that Malachy Morgair then Bifhop of Conner fhould Succeed him, and “ fent his Staff to him as his Succeffor. Nor was he difappointed; for Malachy fucceeded him, though not immediately, for “one Maurice Son of Donald, a “ perfon of Noble Birth, for Five years (fays the fame Bernard) by Secular power “ held that Church in poffeflion, not asa Bifhop, but a Tyrant, for the Am- “‘ bition of fome in Power had at'that time introduced a Diabolical Cuftom| ‘* of pretending to Ecclefiaftical Sees by Hereditaty Succeffion ; , not fuffer- “‘ing any Bifhops, but the Defcendants of their own Family. Not was this ‘ kind of Execrable Succeftion of fhort continuance : For, Fifteen Generations| “ (or Succeffions of Bifhops, as Colgan has it) had fucceeded in that manner ; and ‘+ {© far had that Evil and Adulterate Generation confirm’d the wicked courfe, “ that fometimes, though. Clerks of their Blood might fail, yet Bifhops never “ fail’d. In fine, Eight Married men and without Orders, though Scholars, “< were Predeceffors to Celfus, from whence proceeded that general Diflolution “ of Ecclefiaftical Difcipline (whereof we have fpoken largely before) that con- “ tempt of Cenfures and Decay of Religion, throughout Ireland. Thus Bernard. The names of thofe Eight married men Unordain’d, Colgan delivers in the place above cited. After the Death of Maurice Son of Donald, Nigel Son of Aid his} Kinfinan, Ufurpt the See, but was foon removed: “ He took with him, faysthe “ fame Bernard, certain Enfigns cr Ornaments of that Houfe, namely the “ Text of the Evangelifts, which belonged to.St. Patrick, and a Staff laid over} with Gold, and adorned with precious Stones, which fome call the Staff of 7efus. Nigel died in 1139, and fome reckon him among the Arch-Bifhops. Tisai 1139: a «Maurice. | ' Paurice. | Maurice, of whom we fpoke before, Defcended of that noble Family, which ~ |now for 208 years as it were by Hereditary Right had fucceeded in the Arch-| Bithoprick, after the death of Cel/us obtained the See of Armagh, which he held thre¢ years alone, and two years in contention with Malachy. He dyed in 1134, Malachy. - Malachy, called by the Trith Melmedoic 6 Morgair, was Educated firtt at Ar- magh under the Abbot Jmar, a man of great Aufterity, afterwards at Lifmore under Malchus Bithop of Lifmore: Returning into Uljfer he Repaired the 1134, Bithop of Conner. He was by Celfus Arch-Bifhop of Armagh (as we have faid) on-his Death-bed ‘appointed his Succeflor, and fucceeded him about Five years Jatterwards. But after, about Three years continuance in the See, he voluntarily }- refigned to Gelafy in 1137 or 1136, and betook himfelf to Down, where be Infti- | tuted a Monaftery of Regular Canons. Two years after, he went to Rome, with jdefign to procure Two Falls from Pope Innocent 1]. One for the See of Armagh, “€ which from the beginning, never had the ufe of the Pall, faysSt. Bernard, and made Legat of Ireland, by reafon of the cecrepid Age of Gillebert Bihop of Limrick , and as to the Pails, he was difmift with this Anfwer, That 2 Matter jof fo great concern, ought to be done with Solemnity, and by the general Appro- bation of the Council of Ireland. Afterwards in 1148, he made another Journey to Rome, but by the way fell fick of a Feaver in the Monaftery of Clarevall, and dyed Novemb. 2, in the 54th year of his Age, and was there honourably Interr’d, but his Feftival was Transferr'd to the day following, or Novemb. 5, fays Andr. Sauffai, in his French Martyrology. See the Epitaphsmade on him in Chriffo- pher Henriques, \ate Hiftoriographer-General of the Ciffercians, His Relicks | that Order, were receiv’d with great Honour, as we find in the M. S. Annals of St. Mary's Abby near Dublin. Malachy among other things, writ a Prophecy of the Eithops of Rome, which Arnold Wion Publifhed in his Liguum Vite, with an Expofition added by Alphonfus Czaconins a Predicant, down to Pope Urban the 7th, which others have continued down to ourtimes. If any one defires further Information of this Malachy, let him perufe the Hiftory of his Life written by St. Bernard. Gelaty. ; Gelafy Son of Roderick fucceeded Malachy. He was firft an Aunguitin Canon f Jof.the Monaftery of Derry, atterwards for 16 years Abbot, and was Confecrated | in 1137.

January 29, dyed Melbrigid 6 Brolcain Suftragan to Gelefy, whom fome call Bifhop of Armagh, aman endued with many Vertues. In the time of Gelafy, John Pa- paro Fresbyter, who bore the Title of Cardinal of St. Lawrence. in Demafo, was fent Legat into Ireland by Pope Eugene Il], in 1152. and brought with him Four Palls, which ina Synod held in A¢arch, he deliver’d to the Four Arch-Bi-} place of this Synod , for fome would have it held-in Ae,» or the Abby.of Meliz- | font, othersat Renanufe or Keulife in Meath, which we now by contraétion call ] Kells; and indeed moft agree that Kells was the place.

The Cathedral it felf was, without doubt, anciently en- dowed with great Livings , and the Burying Place of their great Men and Bifhops was mighty Famous for Monuments and fine Infcriptions, as well in the Hebrew as Irifh Charaéters ; but by degrees it dwindled away, and became re- duced to a fhameful poverty.

OCELINE in the Life of St. Patrick, Cap. 143, fays that the Cathe- Fa ae) drat Church of Clogher was Founded by St. Patrick at firft, even betore the Church of Armagh was built; and if we'll belicve him, the great St. Patrick fate here fometime before he made Macartin Bithop, whom he by miftake calls Kerten: On the contrary, in the Regifter of Clocher,} Mac Cartin is faid to have been the firft Bifhop of that See: This Macartin, or Macarthenn, Son of Caerthen, in Baptifin called 4, or Ad, defcended| of the Noble Family of the rads, but more Noble for his: Manners, was a Difciple of St. Patrick, and an Indefatigable Fellow-Preacher. He fixed his See at Clogher, and by St. Patrick’s Appointment built a Monaflery there, in the Street before che Royal Seat of Ergal/. Clgher feated on the Black-water, has itsname from a Golden Stone, where during the time of Paga-] nifn the Devil, like the Oracle of Apollo, gave out deluding Anfwers, as the Regifter of Clogher has it. St. Macartin died the 24th of May, 506, and was buried in the Cametery of his Church. We have taken the greateft part of what we here deliver concerning the Bifhops of Clogher down to 1519,-at which time Patrick Culim obtained that See, out of Clocher Regifter abovementioned, S, Ligernac — S.

Hifto- rians make mention of S. Albert, called Arch-Bithop of Caffel, who. leaving his} |See, together with his Brethren Erard and Hildulph, and 19 other Affociates, about the middle of the VIVE. Century went into Germany. . Fohn Colgan in hist Ais of the Saints of Zrelad, at the 8th of January, thinks, that Albert: was) Bifhop of the Church of Zmely, whofe Bifhops were heretofore called Arch=| Bithops of Munjter, and that therefore he was called Arch-Bithop of Caffel, be-| caufe he was Arch-Bithop of Munjter, whofe Metropolis was Cafel; and truly | ws (to fpeak my fenfe of the matter) the whole Hiftory of this Albert and his Bre-| | thren is, in its circumftances, very obfcure.. Therefore let us proceed to Cormac\ Son of Culinan : He deriv’d himfelf from the aforefaid King Exgufe, and began} ‘| his Kingdom in the Year of our Lord gor, and (which you'll wonder at) was alfo Bithop of Caffel... This cuftom (as appears in the Writers of our Country) was frequent in that Age among the Irib, particularly among the Predeceffors | 3% of Cormac. Olcebar, who died in the Year 851, and Cenfelad, whodied in 872, | Were at the fame time Kings of Caffel, and Bithops of Emely.

In}. the Year 906 Flan, Son of Melfechlin, King of Ireland, with an Army invaded | Munjter, and watted and deftroyed that Provinee as far as Limerick : but Cormac, who, giving Way to the times, had fled, incens’d at the Injury, the Year fol- lowing enter’d Meath with his Forces, and overthrew Flaz-in Battle,-and com-} pell’d him to give Hoftages for the performance of certain Conditions agreed upon between them, and fo returned to Ca/fel.

And thus was all Ireland Cantonized among Ten Perfons of the Englifh Nation , and though they had not gained the pofleftion of One Third Part of the wliole Kingdom, yet in Title they were Owners and Lords of all, fo as nothing was left to be granted to the Natives, And therefore we do,not find in any Record or Story for the fpace of Three Hundred Years, after thefe Adventurers firft arrived in Jreland, that any Irifh Lord obtained a grant of his Country from the - Crown, but only the King of Momond, who had a.grant but during King Henry the Third his Minority ; and Rotherick O Coynor, King of Conaught, to whom Kin Henry the Second, before this diftribution made, did grant (as is before declared, ) Ut fit Rex fub eo; and moreoever, Ut teneat terram fuam Conattia ita bene sin pace, ficut tennit antequam Dominus Rex intravit Hiberniam. And whofe Succeffor, in the 24th of Hezry the Third, when the Bourkes had made a ftrong Plantation there,-and had well-nigh expelled him out of his Territory, he came over into England, (as Matth. Paris writeth) and made complaint to King Henry-the Third of this Invafion made by the Bourkes upon his Land, infifting upon the Grants of King Henry the Second, and Kisg john; and affirming, that he had duly paid a Yearly Tribute of Five Thoufand Marks for his Kingdom. Whereupon, the King }called unto"him the Lord Maurice Fitz-Gerald, who was then Lord Juftice of Ire. Jand, and Prefident in the Court, and coimmandéd him that he fhould root out q that unjuft Plantation, which Hudert Earl of Kent ‘had .in the time of his Great-}.> nefs, Planted in thofe Parts; and wrote withal to the Great Men of Ireland to} move the Bourks, and to eftablifh the King of Conaught in the quiet poffeffion of his Kingdom, Howbeit, I do not read, that the King of England’s Commandment or Direction in this behalf was ever putin Execution.

And befides, our Great: Englith Lords could not endure that any Kings fhould Reign in Ireland, but them- felves; nay, they could hardly endure that the Crown of England it felf, fhould } have any Jurifdiction or Power over them.

All thefe appear upon Record, and were all as ancient as the | C##ro Dub- f time of King ohn; only the liberty of Tipperary, which is the only liberty that} archiverunt remaineth at this day, was granted to Yames Butler the Firft Earl of Ormonde, in pat. 3g the Third Year of King Edward, the Third. eS ee he Thefe abfolute Palatineggmade Barons and Knights,did exercife high Juftice in all points within their Territories, eretted Courts for Criminal and Civil Caufes, and | Archiv. in for their own Revenues; in the fame form, as the Kings Courts were eftablifhed at ag wie ae Dublin, made their own Judges, Senefchals, Sheriffs, Coroners, and Efcheators, fo the Kings Writ did not run in thofe Counties (which took up more than two parts of the Englifh Colonies) but only the Church Lands lying within the fame, which were called the Cro/s, wherein the King made a Sheriff: And fo,in each of thefe Counties Palatines, there ‘were two Sheritis ; One, of the Ezberty, and another of the Crofs: As in Meath we find a Sheriff of the Liberty, and a Sheriff of the Crofs; And fo in Uder, and fo in Wexford : And fo at this day, the Earl of or- monde maketh a Sheriff of the Liberty, and the King a Sheriff of the CrofS of Tip- perary. Hereby it is manifeft, bow much the Kings Jurifdiction was reftrained, and the power of thefe Lords enlarged by thefe High Priviledges.

Howbeit, there followed upon this Refumption, fuch a Divition and Faction, between the Englifh of Birth and the Englifb of Blood and Race, as they fummoned and held feveral Parliaments. apart onefrom the other.

Whereunto 1 may add. this \note, that though fome are of opinion that Grants of extraordinary Honours land Liberties made by a King to his Subjects, do no more diminith his Greatnefs than when one Torch lighteth another , for it hath no lefs light than it had before, Quis vetat appofito lumen de lumine fumi ¢ Yet many times \nconveniencies do arife thereupon : and thofe Princes have held up their Soveraignty belt which have | been {paring in thofe Grants. And truly, as thefe Grants of little Kingdoms and great Royalties to a few private Perfons, did produce the mifchiefs fpoken of before : So the true caufe of the making of thefe Grants did proceed from this ; That the Kings of Evgland being otherwife employed and diverted, did not, make the Con- queft of Jreland their own Work, and undertake It not Royally at their own charge , but as it was firft begun by particular Adventurers, fo they left the profecution chereof to them, and other Voluitaries, who came to feek their Fortunes in Ireland wherein if they could prevail, they thought that in reafon and Honour they could do no lefs than make them Proprietors of fuch {copes of Land as they could conquer, people, and plant at their own charge, referving only the Sovereign Lordthip to the Crown of England. But if the Lyon had gone to hunt himjelf, the fhares of the inferiour Beafts had not been fo great . If the {nvafion had been made by an Army tranfmitted; furnifhed, and {upplied only at the King’s Charges, and wholly ‘paid with the King’s Treafure, as the Armies of Queen Elizabeth and King Fames have been ; as the Conqueft had been fooner atchieved, fo the Servitors had been con-| tented with leffer proportions. sree 3 For, when Scipio, Pompey, Cefar, and other Generals of the Roman Armies, asi Subjects and Servants of that State, and with the publick Charge had conquered many Kingdoms and Commonweals, we find them rewarded with Honourable Offices and Triumphs at their return ; and not made Lords and Proprietors of | whole Provinces and Kingdoms which they had fubdued to the Empire of Rome, Likewife, when the Duke of Normandy had conquered England, which he made his own Work, and performed it in his own Perfon, he diftributed fundry Lordfhips } . and Manors unto his Followers, but gave not away whole Shires and Countreys in demeafne to any of his Servitors, whom he moft delired to advance ; only he made Hugh Lupus County Palatine of Chefter, and gave that Earldom to him and his Heirs, to hold the fame, Jta libere ad gladium, ficut Rex tenebat Angliam ad Coronam: Whereby that Earldom indeed had a Royal Jurifdiction and Seigniory, though the Lands of that County. in demeafne, were poffeiied for the moft part by the ancient Inheritors, ees ‘ it Again, from the time of the Norman Conqueft till the Reign of King Edward the Firft, many of our Englifh Lords made War upon the Wel/b Men at their own charge ; the Lands which they gained they held to their own ufe, were called Lords: ne _. ‘Marchers, Archiv.

And if the like courfe had’been ufed in the winning and diftributing the Lands of Jreland, that Ifland had been fully ‘con- quered before the Continent of Wales had been reduced. But the truth is; when private Men attempt the Conquelt of Countries at their own charge, commonly their Enterprizes do perifh without fuccefs : as when, in the time of Queen Elizabeth, Sir Thomas Smith undertook to recover the Ardes , and Chatterton, to reconquer the Fues and Orier: The one loft his Son, and the other, Himfelf; and both their Adventures came to nothing. And as for the Crown of Eygland, it hath had the like Fortune in the Conqueft of this Land, as fome Purchafers have, who defire to buy Land at too eafie a rate ; they find thofe cheap Purchafes fo full of trouble, as they fpend twice as much as the Land is worth before they get the quiet Poffeflion thereof, Lands ; fo, as I conceive, that the firft Adventurers, intending .to make a full Conqueft of the Zrib, were deceived in the choice of the fitte(t places for their Plantation : For they fate down, and erected their Caftles and Habitations in the Plains and open Countries, where they found moft fruitful and profitable Lands, and turned the Irifh into the Woods and Mountains . Which, as they were proper places \for Out-lawsand Thieves, fo were they their natural Caftles and Fortifications; thi- ther they drave their Preys and Stealths: there they lurkt, and lay in wait to do mif- chief. Thefe faft places they kept unknown by making the ways and entries there- unto impaflable ; there they kept, their Creaghts or Heards of Cattle, living. by the Milk of the Cow, without Husbandry or Tillage ; there they encreafed and difcovered the weaknefs of the Exg/ifb dwelling in the open Plains ; and thereupon | made their Sallies and Retreats with great Advantage : whereas, on the other fide, if the Englifb had builded their Caftles and Towns in thofe places of Faftnefs, and had driven the Jri/b into the Plains and open Countries, where they might have and in fhort time reclaimed from their wildnefs: There they would have ufed Tillage, dwelt together in Townfhips, and learned Mechanical Arts and Sciences; The Woods had been wafted with the Englifh Habitations, as they are about the Forts of Maryborough and Phillipftown, which were built in the faftelt places in Lein- fter ; andthe Ways and Paflages throughout Jre/and would have.been as clear and | open, as they are in England at this day: Again, if King Henry the Second, who is faid to be the King that conquered this Land, had made Forrefts in Jre/and, ashe did enlarge the Fotrefts in England (for it appeareth by Charta de Fore/ta, that heafforefted many Woods and Watts, to the grievance of the Subje@, which by, that Law were difafforrefted) or if thofe Englifb Lords, amongft whom the whole Kingdom was divided, had been good Hunters, and had reduced the Mountains, Boggs, and Woods within the Limits of Forrefts, Chafes, and Parks ; afluredly, the very Forreft Law, and the Law de Malefattoribas in parcis, would in time have driven them into the Plains and Coun- tries inhabited and manured, and have made them yield up their faft places to thofe formed a third part with their continual bordering War, for two hundred years before: | And withal, we may obferve that though this King had now the Dominion of] Wales in Fure proprietatw, as the Statute of Rutland afhrmeth ; which before was} And as the beft Policy was not cbferved in the diftribution of the conquered | multiplied unto infinite numbers by promifcuous Generation among themfelves ,| there they made their Aflemblies and Confpiracies. without difcovery : But they}: had an eye and obfervation upon them, the Jri/b had been eafily kept in order] — and watts in The Englifh Lords did hor reduce the woods Forrefts and }) Parks, Chart. de fo- reft, c.3 & 3. ~ sf of Irify'Cum — Hiftorical Relations, ¢e. thof wild Beafts, which were, indeed lefS hurtful and ‘wild than they.

Howbeit, notwithftanding thefe Defects and’ Errors, 1 \the Evglifh Colonies ftood apd maintained themi{elves in a reafonable good eftate, | iw sonio|@8 long as they retained theit own ancient Laws. and Cuftoms, according to | colonies re-\that of Euains..

For, whereas by the juft and Honourable Law ‘of England, and by the Laws of all other well-governed, King-| doms aid Commonweals, Murder, Man-flaughter, Rape, Robbery, and Theft, are punifhed with death; By the Irifp Cuftom, or Brebow Law, the higheft of 1 civilNation, {thefe offences was punifhed only by Fine, Which they called an Ericke.

As for Oppreflion, Extortion, and other trefpaffes, the weaker had never ahy remedy again{t the ftropger : whereby it came to pafs, ‘|that no man could enjoy bis Life, his Wife, his Lands or Goods in fafety, if a mightier man than himfelfhad’an appetite to take the fame from him. Wherein _ [they were little better than Cannibalg who do hunt one another, and that hath ~»--/moft ftrength and fwiftnefs, doth eat and devour all his fellows. |* Again, in England, and all well ordered Commonweals, Men have certain Effates in their Lands and Pofeffions, and their inheritances defcend from Father to'Son; which doth give them encouragement to build, and to plant, and to im- prove their Lands, and to make them better for their pofterities.- But by the Iri/b Cuftom of Zaniftry, the Chieftanes of every Country, and ‘chief of every Sept, } had no longer eftate than for life in their Chieferies, the inheritance whereof did] -{reft in no man. And thefe Chieferies, though they had fome portions of Lands] allotted unto them, did confift chiefly in cuttings and Cofheries, and other Irifh exactions, whereby they did fpoil and impoverifh the people at their pleafure.

Thefe two Irijh Cuftoms made all their poiféffions uncertain, being fhufiled, and changed, and removed fo often from one to another, by new eletionsand partitions; which uncertainty of eftates hath been the true caufe of fuch Defola-| & tion and Barbarifm in this Land, as the like was never feen in any Country that profeffed the name of Chrift. For though the Irifbry be a Nation of great Antiquity, and wanted neither wit nor valour; and though they had_received the Chriftian. Faith above 1200 years fince; and were lovers of Mufick, Poe- try, and all kiad.of Learning ; and poflefled a Land abounding with all things never build any houfes of brick or ftone ( {ome few poor Religious Houfes ex- cepted ) before the Reign of King Henry the Second, though they were Lords of this Hland for mang htindred years before, and fince the. Conqueft attempted by the Englifh : Albeit, when they faw us build Caftles upon their borders, they have only in imitation of us, eretted fome few piles for the Captains of the Coun- try : yet I dare boldly fay, that never any parti€ular perfon, either before’ or fince;! did build any ftone or brick houfe for his private habitation; but fuch as have lately obtained eftates, according to the courfe of the Law of England. Neither did any of them in all this time, plant any Gardens or Orchards,. inclofe or improve their Lands, live together in fettled Villages or Towns, nor made any provifion for pofterity; which being againft all common fenfe and reafon, muft needs be im- puted to thofe unreafonable Cuftoms, which made their eftates > uncertain and tranfitory in their poffeffons. - « \ . For, who would plant or improve, or build upon that Land, which a ftranger, fo. would they continue till the worlds end, if thefe cuftoms were not abolifhed by the Law of England. ! Again, that Irijh cuftom of Gavelkind, did breed another mifchief; for there- themfelves to be Gentlemen. And though their portions were never fo fimall, and ithemfelves never {0 poor (For Gavel-kind muft needs in the end make a poor Gen- | tility.) yet did they fcorn to defcend to Husbandry or Merchandize, or to learn| iany Mechanical Art of Science... And this isthe true caufe why there were never ‘any. Corporate Town$ eredted» in. the Iria Countries: As for Maritime {Cities and Towns, moft certain it is, that they were built and peopled by ithe Ooftmen or Eajterlings : for the Natives of Ireland never performed fo good a t ‘ their fmall portions of Land, as they rather chofe to live at bo Ex- tortion, and Cofhering, than to feek any better fortunes abroad : Which enereafed their Septs or Sirnames into fuch numbers, as there are not’ to be found? in any Kingdom of Ewrope, fo many Gentlemen of one Blood, Family, and. Sirname, land Butlers in Munfter and Leinjfter. And the like may be faid of the inferior E iconftancy ; becaufe they were tied together, Vinculo fanguinis , whereas Rebels Land. Malefattors, which are tied to their Leaders by no band, either of Duty or. :Blood,*do more eafily break and fall off-one from another. And befides, their ico-habitation in one Country or Territory, gave them opportunity fuddenly to af- ifemble and confpire, and rife in multitudes againft the Crown. And even now, iin the time of peace, we find this inconvenience, that there can hardly be an indif- .iferent trial had between the King and his Subjects, or between party and party, {by reafon of this general Kindred Ane, SEEN + a eS work as to build a City.

But when the Englifb had learned it, they ufed it bby once and | with more infolency, and made it more intollerable ; for this oppreffion was not a continual War, ‘cither’Offenfive, or Defenfive, and every Lord of a Country, and every Marcher made War and Peace at his pleafurre, it became univerfal and perpetual ; and was indeed: the moft heavy oppreflion that ever was ufed in’ any Chriftian or Heathen Kingdom. And therefore, Vox Opprefforum, this. borying fin, did draw down as great, or greater plagues upon Ireland, than the oppreffion of the Ifraelites did draw upon the Land ofgEgypt. For the plagues of Egypt, though they were grievous, were but of a “hort continuance ; But the plagues of Ireland, lafted four hundred years together. This Extortion of ‘| Coigne and Livery did produce tWo notorious eflects : Firft, it made the Land | ‘The caufe of hWwafte , Next, it made the people idle. For, when the ‘Husbandman had laboured idlenefs in| at} the year, the Soldier in one night, did-confume the fruits of all his labour, Lon- eee gigue perit labor irritus anni. Had he reafon then to manure the Land for the next year? Or rather might he not complain as the Shepherd in Virgil. | Impins hec tam culta novalia miles habebit gh Z Barbarus has'fegetes ¢ En gug difcordia cives bt - Perduxit miferos 2 En que confevimus agros ? uae 47 And-hereupon of neceffity came depopulation, banifhment, and extirpation of the better fort of Subjects: and fuch as remained, became idle, and lookers on , ex- pecting the event of thofe miferies and” evil times : So as this extream Extortion and Oppreffion, hath been the true caufe of the idlenefs of this Iri/b Nation; and that rather the vulgar fort have chofen to be Beggars in Foreign Countries, than to manure their own fruitful Land athome,. — Laftly, this oppreflion did of force and neceflity make the Ivib a crafty peo- ple : for fuch as are opprefled and live in flavery, are’ever put to ‘their thifts, Inge- |-ninm mala fepe movent, and therefore, in the old Comedies of Plautus and Terrence, the Bondflave doth always att the cunning and crafty part.

Then was there no means to maintain the Army, but by feffing the Soldiers upon the Subject, as the Zri/h were wont to impofe their Bonaugit : whereupon grew that wicked Extortion of Coigne and Livery {pokea of before, which in fhort time ba- nifhed the greateft part of the Freeholders out of the Counties of Kerry, Limerick, Cork, and Waterford ; into whofe Pofieflions Defmond and his Kinfmen, Allies, and Followers, which were then more Jri/h than Englifb, did enter-and appropriate thefe Lands unto themfelves, Defmond himfelf taking what Scopes he beft liked for his Demeafiies in every Country, and referving an Ir Scigniory out of the reft.

For whereas all wife Men did ever]. concur in opinion, that the readieft way to reform Ireland, is to fettle a Form of Civil Government there, conformable to that of England : To bring this to paf, Sir Edward Poynings did pafS an A‘t, «whereby all the Statutes made in England before that time, were enacted, eftablifhed, and made of force in Jreland.

Befides this, he took efpecial order, that the Summons of Parliament fhould {go into allthe Shires of Jreland, and not to the four Shires only ; and for that) . _. ,caufe efpecially, he caufed all the Atts of Parliament lately before holden by the} -. +.

This courfe did this Governour take to reform the Zri/bry ; but withal, he did not omit to advance both the Honour and Profit of the King. For,in the Parliament which he held the 334 of Henry the Eighth, he caufed an A€t to pafs, which gave| unto King Henry the Eighth, his Heirs and Succeflors, the Name, Stile,and Title of | King of Ireland, whereas before that time, the Kings of Eng/and were ftiled but Lords of Ireland: Albeit indeed, they were abfolute Mowarchs thereof, and had in right all Royal and Imperial Jurifdiction and Power there, as they had in the Realm of Eng- of Lord, Afluredly, theaffuming of this Title hath not a little raifed-the Soveraign- ty of the King of England in the minds of this people: Laftly, this Deputy brought a great Augmentation to the Kings Revenue, by difolving of all the Monafteries and land, who took an exact Survey of all the Poileflions of the Crown, and brought ma- ny things into charge, which had been concealed and fubftratted for many Years be-} which though it were a good beginning, yet wasit far from reducing Ireland to the perfect obedience of the Crown of Exgland. For all this while, the Provinces of Co- naught and Ulfter, and a good part of Lernjter, were not Reduced to Shire-ground. And though Manjter was anciently divided into Counties, the people were fo dege- nerate, as no Juftice of Affize durft execute his Commiflion amongit them. None of the Irifh Lords or Tenants were fettled in their Poffeffions, by any Grant or Confir- mation from the Crown, except the Three great Earls beforenamed; who notwith-]} ftanding, did govern their Tenants and Followers, by the Jri/b or Brebon Law; fo as no Treafon, Murther, Rape, or Theft, committed in thofe Countries, was inquired of, or punifht by the Law of England , aud confequently, no Efcheat, Forfeiture,or Fine ; no Revenue (certain or cafual) did accrew tothe Crown out of thofe Provinces. The next worthy Governour that endeavoured to advance this Reformation, was! Thomas Ear\ of Suffex ; who having throughly broken add fubdued the Two moft Re-} bellious and Powerful Irijh Septs in Leinfter ; namely the Moores and O Connors, pof-} fefling the Territories of Lezx and Offaly, did by Act of Parliament, in the 3d and . (4th of Phil. and Marie, Reduce thofe Countries into Two feveral Counties ; “ name- ing the one, the Kimgs, and the other, the Queens County ; which were the firft two Counties that-had been made in this Kingdom fince the Twelfth Year of King john, at what time the Territories then poffefled by the Exglifh Colonies were Reduced into Twelve Shires, as is before exprefled. ~~ = * This Noble Earl having thus extended the Jurifdittion of the Exglih Law. inte} Two Counties more, was not fatisfied with that addition, but tooka refolution to di- vide all the reft of the rib Countries Un-reduced, into feveral Shires; and to that end he caufedan Aé to pafS in the fame Parliament, authorizing the Lord Chancellor,from time to time,to award Commiiffions tofuch Perfons asthe Lord Deputy fhould nomi- nate and appoint, to View and Perambulate thofe Jri/b Territories ; and thereupon, to divide and limit the fame into fuch and fo many feveral Counties as they fhould think |meet ; which being certiied to the Lord Deputy,and approved by him, fhould be return- ed and enrolled in the Chancery,and from thenceforth be of like force and effeét,as if it were done by A&t of Parliament. . © Thus did the Earl of Suffex lay opena paflage for the Civil Government into the unre-}' formed parts of thisKingdom, but himfelf proceeded no further than is before declared. Howbeit afterwards,during the Reign of Queen Elizabeth, Sir Henry Sidney, (who} hath left behind him many Monuments of a good Governour in this Land) did noton- ly purfue that courfe which the E. of Suffex began,in Reducing the Zrifh Countries in- toShires,& placing therein Sheriffs,& other Minifters of the Law ; (for firt he — the : nnaly fore.And thusfar' did Sir Azthony Saint Leger proceed in the courfe of Reformation ;| Annaly,a Territory in Lezufer, poflefied rs Sept of Offerralles,one entite Shire by {dency Courts in thofe two Provinces, placing Sir Edward Fittex in Conaught,. jdom : He reformed the Abufes of the Exchequer, by many good Orders and In- | Pale, in licu of Purveyance and Sefs of Soldiers, | Thefe were good proceedings in the work of Reformation, but there. were many ENT Hiftorical Relations, ¢. it felf, and called it the County of Long foe ord, and after that, he; divided the whole Thomond ) Gakoway, Sligo, Mayo, Rofcomon and Leytrim .)

He did abolifh their pretended and ufurped Captainthips, and all Exa€tions and Extortions incident thereunto, Next, was authorized to accept their Surrenders, and to regrant Eftates unto them, to hold. of the Crown by Exglifh Tenures and Services. Again, becaufe the inferiour fort were loofe and poor, and not bie to the Law; he provided by an- other Act, that of the belt and eldeft perfons of every Sept, thould bring in all the civil Education to the.Youth of this Land in the time to come, provifion was made by another Law, that there.fhould be one Free School, at leaft, ereéted in every Diocefs of the Kingdom. -And laftly, to inure and. acquaint the People of Muzfter and. Conaught, with the Exglifo Government again ( which had not been in ufe among them for the fpace of 200 years before :) he inftituted two Prefi- and Sir john Perrot in Munjter. “4 To augment the King’s Revenue in the fame Parliament, upon the Attainder of Shane O Neale, be refumed and vefted in the Crown more than half the Province of Ulfter : He raifed the Cuftoms upon the principal Commodities of the King- firudtions fent ott of England; and laftly, he citablifhed the compofition: of the defects and omiffions withal, for though he reduced all Conaught into Counties, he neyer fent any Juftices of Affize to vifit that Province, but placed Commiflioners there, who governed it only in 4 courfe of difcretion , part Martial and part Civil. Again, in the Law that doth abolifh the vib Captainthips, he gave way for the reviving thereof again, by excepting fuch, as.fliould be granted by Letters Patents from the Crown; which exception did’ indeed take away the force of that Law. For no Governor during Queen Elizabeth's Reign, did refufe to grant any of thofe Captainthips, to any pretended Ir Lord, who would Defre, and with his thank- fulnefS Deferve the fame. And again, though the greateft part of Uljfer were vefted by Act of Parliament, in the actual and real poffeflion of the Crown , yet was there never any feizure made thereof, nor any part thereof brought into charge, but the Iri/p were permitted to take all the profits, without rendering any duty or acknowledgment for the fame ; and though the Name of 0 Neale was damned by that Ad, and the affuming theréof made High-Treafon , yet after that, was Tirlegh Leysnogh fuffered to bear that Title, and to intrude upon thie Poffeflions of the Crown, |: and was yet often entertained by the State with favour.

And therefore, although the Lord was be- | come the King’s Tenant, his Country was no whit reformed thereby, but remained in the former Barbarifm and Defolation. — , ee gs | Again, in the fame Queen’s time, there were many Ir Lords who did not fur-} | Tender, yet obtained Letters Patents of the Captainflips of their Countries, and of _ all Landsand Duties belonging to thofe Captainthips : For the Statute which doth ‘condemn and abolifh thofe Captainries ufurped by the Ivi/z, doth give power-to the | Lord Deputy to grant the fame’ by Letters Patents., Howbeit, thefe Ii Captains, ‘and likewife the Exglifh, who were made Senefchals of the Ivf Countries, did-by co-} | lour of thefe Grants, aud’ under pretence of Government, claim an Iri/b Seigniory, (and exercife plain Tyranny over the common People.
