[60]. Diary of the Assembly. (Calendar, 1625-32, 713.)
[61]. Elrington’s Life of Usher, pp. 73-74.
[62]. A Remonstrance presented to his Majesty by the Parliament in June, 1628.
[63]. The Graces in their amended form are given in Wentworth’s letter to Coke, October 6, 1634. (Strafford Letters, I., 312-328.) The earlier draft is printed in the Calendar of State Papers, 1625-1632, 446. The eighth article runs: “The fine of 12d. a Sunday and holiday for not going to church shall be remitted for recusants except in particular cases.”
[64]. Rushworth’s Historical Collections, II., 19.
[65]. These depositions, as well as the report of the Commissioners and Falkland’s defence, are printed in Gilbert’s History of the Confederation and War in Ireland, I., 167-217.
[66]. Proclamation, April 1, 1629. (Rushworth, II., 21.) Similar proclamations had been issued in 1617, 1623, and 1624, but they had had very little effect.
[67]. For the conduct of Archbishop Loftus, see Ware’s Bishops of Ireland and Elrington’s Life of Usher, pp. 6, 115, and for that of some later members of his family Lecky’s History of Ireland, V. 295. With regard to the Chancellor himself, I have collected some evidence in a later part of this paper.
[68]. Lord Cork was the author of an extremely mendacious autobiographical fragment, entitled True Remembrances, which is prefixed to the collected edition of his son’s works. In Wright’s History of Ireland, Bk. V., ch. 21, this remarkable able paper is carefully analysed and its statements compared with the evidence of more trustworthy documents.
[69]. Charles to Wilmot, August 5, 1629. (Calendar, 1625-1632, 1449.) See also with regard to this quarrel the repeated and bitter attacks on Loftus in Lord Cork’s Diary (Lismore Papers, 1st series). The quarrel seems to have originated in the refusal of the Chancellor to decide a lawsuit in Lord Cork’s favour some years earlier.
