My humble suit unto Her most sacred and Excellent Majestye is, for that parcell morgadged by my father in law to Browne, and a small pece of land which he also made ouer unto my wife for her preferment, together with som litle provision of meale, butter, and flessh, which is due of certen Septs of his folowers within that coutrey, for the maintenance of his House; which land I will holde of Her Majestie, and not only yelde Her Highnes a reasonable reservacion, but also procure Browne sufficient securities, or mortgadge unto him a sufficient quantitie of land for his money, although he got about £2000 thereby already, these 10 yeres past, wherby Browne shalbe satisfied of more then his due, and Her Majestie shall have, in certentie, not onely all the comaunds, creacions, rents, duties and cheferies, due unto that House, of other Lords and contreyes, which was ever the chefest parte of thErls greatnes, and liuinge, but also a reasonable reservacion out of so much demaines as aforsayd, which in that wilde craggy, barren, and unprofitable contrey, is the beste thing that may benefit myself, or enhable me to do Her Majestie servise, considering the present state of that countrey, and all the people thereof, who have joined with the Earle of Desmond, and the rest of his adherents, and haue geven the bastard that was here, a kind of supereoritie over them, maintaining 500 of Tireowens souldiers for him, wherunto they were moved only because Browne (when my father in law mortgaged it unto him) thrust them out of those lands, which they and their ancestors euer held of my father in law, and his ancestors, in which action they will allwayes persist to the last man, and not onely kepe themselfes salfe, but also bak and maintaine all the rebells of Mounster with that strong countrey, yf I be not able to assure them, by Her Majesty's speciall grant, that they shall holde those lands of me, as formerly they held them of my father in law; for they are but folowers, whose living is to hoolde, and inhabit their Lords lands, as their manner is in all Ireland; of which land yf I be able to assure them, I do not doubt (with some litle meanes) to reduce that contrey very shortly into good quietnes, and conformitie; and with that contrey and people (which stands at the bak of all the rebells of Mounster so comodiously to annoy them) to do Her Majestie that service that a thousand men in pay cannot do; and that (in reducing Monster to obedience) will salue Her Highnes above three score thousand pounds: for the performance of which service I will ever rest readie to venter, and spend myne owne life, and the lifes of all such as will followe me.
