A proclamati|on that all I|rishmen shuld returne into their countrieThis yeare in August, was a proclamation set foorth, that all Irishmen should auoid this land, and returne home into their owne countrie, before the feast of the Natiuitie of our ladie, on paine of death. The occasion of which proclamation was, for that such multitudes of Irishmen were come ouer into this region, in hope of gaine, that the countries in Ireland,The English pale in Irelãd almost left desolate. subiect to England, were in manner left void of people, so that the enimies spoiled and wasted those countries at their pleasure, finding few or none to withstand them. And where king Edward the third had placed in Ireland his bench and iudges, with his excheker, for the good administration of iu|stice and politike gouernement to be vsed there, he receiued from thence yearelie in reuenues and pro|fits, comming to his owne cofers, the summe of thir|tie thousand pounds:The yearelie reuenues of Ireland in K. Edward the third his daies. the king now laid foorth no lesse a summe to repell the enimies, which by absence of those that were come ouer hither, could not other|wise be resisted, sith the power of the rebels was so increased, and the force of the countries subiect, tho|rough lacke of the former inhabitants, so dimini|shed. ¶About the feast of the Natiuitie of our ladie, the king set forward to passe into Ireland, hauing made such preparation for that iournie, as the like for Ireland had not béene heard of at anie time be|fore. There went out with him the duke of Glocester, the earles of March, Notingham, and Rutland, the lord Thomas Persie lord steward, and diuerse other of the English nobilitie.
