[1] [2] [3] [page 35] The Clergie therfore now of late hauing per|vſed thoſe Bulles, and perceyuing that vnder ſtreight paynes they were commaunded to owe their allegiance vnto the king of Englande, they buſily did their diligence to repreſſe the furie of their Countrey men, and by authoritie aſwell of the Bulles of Pope Adrian, as Pope Alexander, which had beene publikely read in the Counſel at Caſſhell,Curſing. they denounced all thoſe accurſed that maliciouſly ſhoulde withſtande or ſeeke to make fruſtrat the ſame. By ſuch meanes ye land reſting from any great troubleſome rebelliõs for a while, the firſt that began to ſtyrre, was Donalde king of Lymerike, who leaping out, renounced his al|legiance to the king of Englãd, whervpon Rey|mond aſſembling togither an army of .C. and .xx knights wt .CCC. other horſmẽ, & .CCCC. ar|chers on foot, about the Kalends of October mar|ched boldly towards Lymerike,Reymonde marcheth to|ward Limerik. & cõming to the water that runneth round about that towne, paſ|ſeth the ſame, notwithſtanding the aduerſaryes were readie there to keepe him off. One of Rey|monds nephews, a yong ſtripling called Dauid, and ſurnamed Welch, bycauſe he was borne in Wales, though not of the Welch linage, was the firſt that lept into the riuer, & led the way to giue example to others.They paſſe the riuer. The ſecond (ſaue one knight that was drowned) was Meiller, and Reymond the third that entred the water. When the whole army was once got ouer, with ye loſſe only of that one knight that hight Guy, & two other horſmen, they folowed their enimies, and making of them great ſlaughter,Limerike wonne. ceaſſed not til they brake into the citie, and wan the ſame with great riches which [figure appears here on page 35] they [...]ounde within it. Here is to be noted, that Lymerik was taken vpon a Tueſday,Tueſday for| [...]ate to the Conquerors of Ireland. and Wa|terford likewiſe was taken vpon a Tueſday, and alſo Dublyn. Neither came this to paſſe of any purpoſe, but f [...]ll out euen ſo as chaunce gaue it.
