The combination of Garret, late Karle of Desmond, attainted of high 
treason, in A°. 1578. 
Where the Right Honorable Garret, Earle of Desmond, hath assem- 
bled us, his kinsmen, followers, friends, and servants, about him, after 
his coming out of Dublin, and made us privie to such articles as by the 
Lo: Deputy and Councell was delivered unto him the viii" of July, 
1578, to be performed, as also his answers to sayd. Wch answeres we 
find so reasonable as we w™ one accord doe councell and advise the sayd 
Karle not to consent nor yield to any more then in his answere is already 
graunted. And further, the sayd Karle declared unto us that if he doe 
not yield presently to the pformance of the same articles, and put in his 
pledges for observation thereof, that then the Lo: Deputy will lend his 
force and make war against him, We, the psons under written, doe ad- 
vise and councell the sayd Earle to defende himself from the violence of 
the sayd Lo: Deputy that doth ask so unreasonable a demande, as in the 
sayd Articles is contayned. And for to defende and sticke to this our 
advise and councell. Wee renounce God, if we doe spare life, body, 
lands and goods, but will be ayding, helpinge, and assistinge the sayd 
Karle to mayntain, and defende this o* advise against the sayd Lo: 
Deputy, or any other that will covet the sayd Earle’s inheritance. In 
witness whereof that this is our councell to the sayd Earle we have 
hereunto put our hands the xviij™ of July, 1578.
