[362] The Queen to Lord Deputy Sidney, July 6, 1567, authorising him to make Terence Daniel Primate; Terence to Cecil, Oct. 5, accepting the charge. In a letter to Lord R. Dudley, July 23, 1564, Sir T. Wrothe says Daniel ‘would promise to do much with Shane O’Neill, and some think he could perform it.’
[363] Brady’s Episcopal Succession. Lord-Lieutenant and Council to the Queen, July 16, 1561.
[364] Brady’s Episcopal Succession. Creagh’s own statement in Spicilegium Ossoriense, i. 41, from the Vatican archives; his examinations, in the Irish State Papers, Feb. 22, March 17 and 23, 1565.
[365] Most of the documents relating to Creagh are collected in Spicilegium Ossoriense, vol. i. pp. 38-58. Holing’s account is at p. 84. The Jesuit makes Creagh’s escapes miraculous, but admits that he was on parole not to leave the Tower. This may account in some degree for the severity with which he was afterwards treated. See also a story, which may be apocryphal, in O’Sullivan Beare, tom. ii. lib. iv. cap. 10.
