[1] The next winde that ſerued into Englande theſe fiue brethren were embarked, to wit Ia|mes Fitz Giralde, Walter Fitz Girald, Oliuer Fitz Girald, Iohn Fitz Girald, & Richard Fitz Girald. Three of theſe Gentlemen, Iames, Walter, and Richarde, were knowne to haue croſſed their Nephew Thomas to their power in his Rebellion, and therefore were not occa|ſioned to miſdoubt any daunger. But ſuch as in thoſe dayes were enimies to the houſe, incen|ſed the king ſo ſore agaynſt it, perſwading him, that he ſhould neuer conquer Irelande, as long as any Giraldine breathed in the Countrey, and for making the pathway ſmooth, he was reſol|ued to loppe off as well the good and ſounde Grapes, as the wilde and fruiteleſſe Beries. Whereby appeareth howe daungerous it is to be a rubbe, when a King is diſpoſed to ſweepe an Alley.
