Catalogue description "CERTAIN CONSIDERATIONS set down for the SERVICE."

A fit man to be sent to the Earl of Tyrone, to let him know the doings of his son Con, those of O'Donell in Connaught, and those of the McMahones in the Breyneie, contrary to the cessation ; and to sound him touching his coming to the State for his pardon.

A garrison must be sent at once into the Breyneie.

If the Earl will not come in, sundry persons, both in the English Pale and other parts, are to be arrested, "as men doubtful to give aid to the Earl, specially if he take upon him the cause of religion."

The O'Mores in Leax to be stayed. Feogh McHugh to be watched during his protection. Rice O'Toole to be espied, "and what resort is to her from all parts." Dongannon to be strengthened with ordnance, and co. Wexford to be ready to defend it.

The Vice-President of Munster to see beacons along the sea-coasts kept; and that province is to be mustered and put in arms.
