Among all the forms that people the kingdom of the 1593. past, none is more solemn and impressive than that of Thomas Wentworth, first Earl of Strafford. The representative of a long line of noble ancestors, the heir to a broad estate, the possessor of matchless powers of mind, accompanied by the most intense and passionate feelings, and living at a time when, of all others, the utmost scope was afforded for the exercise of intellect, when England called on her sons as she had never called before, he seemed armed by Nature herself for a successful career. Thomas Wentworth was born on Good Friday, on the 13th of April, 1593, in Chancery Lane, London. That he was brought into the world in this obscure neighbourhood, rather than in the home of his ancestors, was owing to the fact of his maternal grandfather, Robert Atkinson, Esq., being a barrister, and 1593. Lady Wentworth on a visit to her father at the time of the birth of her eldest son. His father, Sir William Wentworth, was a gentleman of Yorkshire, who had held his estate of Wentworth Woodhouse from the days of the Saxons; and himself the head of the house of Wentworth, was allied by blood to many noble families, who, springing from the same root, with pride acknowledged him as their chief. The family of Wentworth had always held public offices in England, and among its members, we find a lord chancellor, a bishop, many high sheriffs of the county of York, members of parliament, officers in the army, a master of the king's household, &c. Hitherto the race had lived in rare prosperity, escaping the fearful calamities entailed by the civil wars and the jealousies of different monarchs on the noble houses of England. Even Henry VIIL, certainly...

As to the contribution of twenty thousand pounds a year towards the army being a charge too heavy for Ireland, the idea was ridiculous. In reality, it was not worth naming, too small to be felt, if properly distributed among the wealthy. As it was, the rich had been spared, and the expenses had been ground by them out of the poor. Had it been the reverse, instead of the murmurs they spoke of, there would have been prayers and praises for his Majesty's person and most blessed government, and no man have been pinched. But this must now be all placed on a right footing. The King, indeed, would rather have it settled by parliament as the more beaten path, but a path in no way more lawful than by his Prerogative Eoyal which he could at once adopt, if the ordinary way failed. If the Irish were so unwise as to cast off the King's gracious proposals and their own safety, why, it must be guarded without them. As for Lord Wentworth himself, as their true friend, he must assure them of his belief in their affording the King the best means of fulfilling his good intentions towards them. As a faithful servant, he would certainly counsel his master to protect them by the ordinary means, but, if they disappointed him, he should take up his position as head of the army and deem it a great honour to die in support of the King's rights. Here "Wentworth sent a thrill through the nerves of the wealthy among the listeners by saying that he had 1634. no doubt the King would be able to fulfil his intentions by exacting his rights from those alone who were able to afford it, without calling at all on the poor. As to their idea of never raising a greater supply than was just enough to meet the present needs, he begged he might...
