Title: SIR WILLIAM FITZWILLIAM to CROMWELL.
Description:

The King has shown me a matter about which he forgot to speak with you yesterday. "As he hath now made a new conquest of Ireland to his great cost and charge," he wishes you to devise an Act of Parliament to be passed there, whereby he may have the lands of all persons both spiritual and temporal in Ireland; or else that the said persons shall become contributors to support the said charges, and like charges in future. He was in doubt whether to take their lands by reason of his conquest, or by Act of Parliament. He wishes you to debate this matter with the Council, and take such order as you and they think best.--Windsor, Wednesday, 7th July. Signed.
