 186 campion's historie riant of Ireland, by Proclamation reformed and abated their base Coyne, being as yet perfect in all the pro- portions, measures, allayes and values thereof, as by mintanor, tooke with him souldiours out of Divelin, victualled for sixe vveekes at that citties charge, under the leading of Petaboghe SherifTe, and joyning him to his power, went upon Shane Oneale, the Irish enemy of greatest force then living.* 1 Thereupon Shane hyed him into England, the Lieutenant after him, Fitz Williams Lord Iustice, till Sussex sped his businesse, and came backe the next and last time of his departure. Sir Nicholas Arnold directed thither with Commission, tarry ed behinde him Lord Iustice, and too short a while as the country speaketh, who testifieth his upright and reasonable provision of house- hold cates, the abuses whereof with sesse and soul- diours, doe so impoverish and alienate the needie Far- mors from us, that they say they might as easily beare the Irish oppressions of Coines & Cuddies, from which we pretend to deliver them. Arnold for his better successe in government, linked himselfe entirely with Gerald Earle of Kildare, who likewise endeavoured to support the same with all dili- gence, being authorized to straine the rebells at his discretion, wherefore hee disposed himselfe to serve, and presented the Governour many times with a num- ber of principall Out-lawes heades. 1560.
