Details of
Title: JOHN [KITE] ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH, to ONELL, PRINCE OF ULSTER.
Description:

Your safety depends on the King, and you should therefore show him all observance. You should cultivate a mind worthy of your abilities and character, and no longer take delight in wild and barbarous manners, and be unacquainted with the comforts of life. It is much better to live in a civilized fashion, than to seek a living by arms and rapine, and to have no thought beyond pleasure and the belly. I therefore beseech you to consider how many evils and perils you will be exposed to, if you make the King your enemy, and on the other hand how happy you will be, if you gain his favour.
