"'13. It is interdicted to the Catholics to teach school either
in public or in private; on the other hand, heretical masters
are hired in every diocese, and paid from the revenue of some
benefices, to pervert our youth and imbue them with heresy. In
fact, the heretics have obstructed every avenue by which our youth
could receive instruction in this kingdom; and by their severe
penalties and rigorous searches, they seek to render it impossible
for any Catholic teacher to remain in the country. Moreover,
having created a university in the city of Dublin, the seat of
the viceroy and the capital of the whole kingdom, they employ
every artifice to attract our children to its schools. Indeed,
they could not possibly devise any scheme more iniquitous than
that of thus corrupting our youth.
"'14. The Catholic cities are deprived of their ancient liberties,
privileges, and rights, and are reduced to the rank of towns,
unless they elect heretics as their mayors and aldermen, or,
at least, select such persons as the heretics approve of, as
lately happened to the city of Waterford, which holds the second
place in the kingdom for its strength and opulence'".
The second extract is the last appendix to the volume. It gives us the
epitaphs of Hugh O'Neill and Dr. Matthews, which are now published for
the first time.
_Epitaph of the Most Rev. Eugene Matthews, Archbishop of Dublin._
"This volume was already in type, when we were fortunate enough
to meet with the original epitaph which marked the last resting
place of the illustrious Archbishop Matthews.
"Near the summit of the Janiculum, in the city of Rome, stands
the well known church of San Pietro-in-Montorio. It contains many
treasures of art, and its paintings retail the names of Raffaelle,
Michael Angelo, Pinturicchio, Vasari, and other great masters.
More dear to the Christian pilgrim is the adjoining shrine,
which guards the clay in which was set the cross of the Prince
of the Apostles.
