Mackay quotes from the 1616 Act as follows:

" that all his Majesty's subjects, especially the youth, be exercised and trayned  up in civilitie, godliness, knowledge, and learn-  ing; that the vulgar Ingleeshe tongue be uni-  versallie planted, and the Irish language [that  is, the Gaelic], which is one of the chieff and  principall causes of the continuance of bar-  baritie and incivilitie among the inhabitants of  the Isles and Hylandis, may be abolishit and  removit."
