Chappell suppressed the Irish lecture, abandoning all idea of reaching the natives through their own language; and this was in accordance with Wentworth's policy. Above all things, wrote the latter to Laud, 'I would recommend that we might have half a dozen good scholars to be sent over to us to be made fellows; there will be room for so many once in a year, and this encouragement I will give them, _cæteris paribus_ I will prefer them before any but my own chaplains, which, I assure you, are not many.' Some were brought over accordingly, and one of them, named Harding, became tutor to Wentworth's son; but at the age of eleven he could hardly be considered a specimen undergraduate. Falkland had also placed his eldest son in the college, where he took his degree at fifteen. Wentworth's plan was to put Englishmen into every position of power or influence in Ireland and to depress all of native birth. Even Primate Ussher, though the Lord Deputy respected and admired him, had much less influence than Bramhall. The King was to be absolute in both islands and State being reduced to uniformity. That was Thorough.[237] FOOTNOTES: [223] The pardon, November 7, 1625, is in Morrin's _Patent Rolls_; Wilmot's submission, October 3, 1635, in _Strafford Letters_, i. 477, and his letter to Wentworth, _ib._ ii. 41; Laud to Wentworth, _ib._ i. 479; Wilmot to Windebank May 28, 1636, Cal. of State Papers, _Ireland_.

[225] Wentworth to Coke, December 14, 1635, enclosing the sentence of the court-martial, in Strafford's letters; this is preferable, so far as it goes, to the account in Rushworth's _Trial of Strafford_, where the abstract contains inaccuracies. Lord Chancellor Loftus had no son Adam, Sir Adam was his cousin. The Annesley whom Wentworth had rebuked and who dropped the stool, and the Annesley who was Mountnorris's lieutenant were brothers, but neither was the Vice-Treasurer's brother, as is so often stated.
