[1] Lord Deputy and Council to the Privy Council, April 6; Tyrone to Cecil, April 7; submission of Tyrone, April 8; Godolphin to Carew, April 19. Farmer's chronicle of this reign begins at p. 40 of _MS. Harl._ 3544 with a panegyric on 'Elizabeth the virgin Queen and flower of Christendom that hath been feared for love and honoured for virtue, beloved of her subjects and feared of her enemies, magnified among princes and famozed through the world for justice and equity.' Since these chapters were written Farmer's book has been printed by Mr. Litton Falkiner in vol. xxii. of the _English Historical Review_. [2] In _Cambrensis Eversus_, published in 1662, John Lynch says 'the Irish no longer wished to resist James (especially as they believed that he would embrace the Catholic religion), and submitted not unwillingly to his rule, as to one whom they knew to be of Irish royal blood,' iii. 53. Lynch was a priest in 1622.

The full account in Smith's _Cork_ is mainly founded on the Lismore collection. Lady Carew's letter of May 5, 1603, among the State Papers and Lady Boyle's of March 18, 1609, in the Lismore Papers are both printed verbatim, and are interesting to compare as specimens of ladies' composition.
