over_o i_o which_o he_o claim_v and_o such_o sort_n of_o submission_n no_o doubt_n there_o be_v and_o have_v be_v so_o rule_v in_o all_o age_n and_o case_n therefore_o the_o present_a enquiry_n be_v whether_o this_o submission_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n be_v of_o this_o sort_n or_o not_o and_o what_o shall_v hinder_v it_o for_o here_o be_v a_o submission_n and_o entire_a obedience_n of_o two_o parliament_n in_o ireland_n to_o a_o right_n and_o jurisdiction_n which_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n do_v claim_n over_o the_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n and_o what_o can_v be_v a_o own_v of_o this_o claim_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n if_o this_o be_v not_o here_o be_v no_o caveat_n or_o reserve_v put_v in_o by_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n to_o save_v this_o jurisdiction_n now_o claim_v and_o put_v in_o practice_n by_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n from_o be_v a_o precedent_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v but_o as_o mr._n molyneux_n word_n it_o a_o entire_a obedience_n pay_v to_o the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n suppose_v a_o man_n claim_v a_o paramount_n right_o to_o my_o house_n and_o estate_n and_o pretend_v that_o i_o be_o but_o his_o steward_n or_o baily_n and_o hold_v only_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o in_o pursuance_n of_o their_o pretend_a right_n shall_v issue_v his_o order_n to_o i_o limit_v i_o what_o servant_n i_o shall_v keep_v and_o admit_v such_o and_o such_o for_o tenant_n and_o no_o other_o and_o if_o i_o pay_v entire_a obedience_n to_o these_o order_n without_o the_o least_o interposition_n in_o behalf_n of_o my_o own_o right_n and_o shall_v execute_v these_o order_n as_o his_o order_n and_o not_o at_o all_o as_o my_o own_o or_o as_o derive_v any_o authority_n from_o i_o will_v it_o serve_v to_o say_v afterward_o that_o this_o be_v pure_o voluntary_a in_o i_o and_o that_o i_o only_o do_v what_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o do_v myself_o will_v such_o a_o excuse_v pass_v will_v it_o not_o appear_v extreme_o ridiculous_a but_o especial_o if_o i_o dare_v not_o make_v any_o such_o excuse_n for_o myself_o only_o another_o pretend_v this_o for_o i_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n have_v not_o adventure_v to_o say_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o in_o their_o own_o behalf_n to_o enter_v the_o least_o protest_v or_o salvo_n for_o their_o own_o right_n and_o independency_n upon_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n therefore_o what_o be_v say_v on_o their_o behalf_n by_o other_o not_o any_o way_n authorize_v by_o they_o can_v be_v take_v as_o a_o keep_n up_o of_o their_o claim_n it_o be_v none_o of_o their_o act_n and_o as_o they_o be_v not_o answerable_a for_o it_o neither_o can_v they_o keep_v any_o advantage_n by_o it_o the_o next_o thing_n mr._n molyneux_n advances_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n to_o save_v their_o right_n from_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o act_n be_v page_n 113._o where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o right_n of_o be_v subject_a only_o to_o such_o law_n to_o which_o man_n give_v their_o own_o consent_n be_v so_o inherent_a to_o all_o mankind_n and_o found_v on_o such_o immutable_a law_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v alien_v or_o give_v up_o by_o any_o body_n of_o man_n whatsoever_o this_o strike_v at_o the_o power_n of_o the_o irish_a parliament_n to_o give_v up_o the_o right_n of_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n as_o they_o have_v do_v by_o their_o entire_a obedience_n to_o this_o act_n of_o the_o english_a parliament_n and_o this_o upon_o two_o consideration_n first_o as_o suppose_v that_o the_o people_n never_o mean_v to_o give_v up_o their_o right_n so_o entire_o to_o their_o representative_n in_o parliament_n as_o to_o empower_v they_o to_o betray_v they_o and_o deliver_v they_o up_o to_o who_o they_o think_v ●it_a and_o therefore_o that_o any_o such_o act_n or_o concession_n of_o the_o parliament_n be_v void_a and_o not_o to_o be_v own_v by_o the_o people_n second_o that_o suppose_v the_o people_n have_v grant_v their_o representative_n such_o a_o power_n yet_o that_o the_o grant_v be_v void_a because_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o people_n power_n to_o make_v such_o a_o grant_n as_o be_v against_o the_o immutable_a law_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n i_o will_v not_o enter_v upon_o the_o disquisition_n of_o these_o topic_n as_o be_v equal_o against_o the_o power_n of_o all_o parliament_n as_o well_o in_o england_n as_o in_o ireland_n and_o the_o recur_v to_o the_o original_a right_n of_o mankind_n antecedent_n to_o all_o constitution_n and_o frame_v of_o government_n carry_v with_o it_o such_o long_a consequence_n as_o i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o meddle_v with_o at_o present_a but_o shall_v content_v myself_o with_o this_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v grant_v by_o this_o argument_n that_o as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o a_o parliament_n to_o give_v up_o the_o right_n of_o a_o people_n so_o far_o have_v the_o present_a parliament_n of_o ireland_n give_v up_o the_o right_n of_o that_o people_n to_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n by_o their_o entire_a obedience_n to_o this_o act._n and_o what_o other_o or_o better_a way_n there_o be_v for_o a_o people_n to_o give_v up_o their_o right_n than_o by_o their_o representative_n in_o parliament_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o learned_a to_o dispute_v i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v a_o more_o authentic_a way_n than_o what_o mr._n molyneux_n do_v next_o lay_v the_o stress_n upon_o p._n 114._o viz._n the_o general_a application_n of_o the_o chief_a part_n of_o the_o irish_a protestant_n that_o be_v at_o that_o time_n in_o london_n to_o the_o parliament_n at_o westminster_n for_o obtain_v these_o law_n which_o he_o will_v improve_v to_o infer_v a_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n but_o this_o can_v never_o do_v for_o first_o this_o can_v in_o no_o sense_n be_v construe_v so_o regular_a and_o authorize_v a_o representation_n of_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n as_o a_o parliament_n free_o choose_v and_o sit_v in_o ireland_n second_o the_o application_n of_o these_o irish_a protestant_n in_o london_n to_o the_o parliament_n at_o westminster_n for_o obtain_v of_o these_o law_n be_v a_o give_v up_o of_o the_o cause_n and_o acknowledge_v this_o contest_v right_o of_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n over_o ireland_n as_o much_o as_o be_v in_o these_o irish_a protestant_n power_n to_o do_v it_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a some_o of_o they_o be_v mind_v of_o it_o at_o the_o same_o time_n and_o withal_o tell_v that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o manner_n of_o purpose_n for_o that_o if_o k._n james_n of_o who_o they_o be_v afraid_a shall_v return_v and_o shall_v think_v fit_a to_o assert_v the_o law_n make_v in_o in_o that_o parliament_n he_o hold_v in_o ireland_n the_o repeal_n of_o they_o by_o a_o parliament_n in_o england_n which_o he_o do_v not_o acknowledge_v will_v signify_v nothing_o and_o till_o he_o do_v not_o return_v they_o be_v in_o no_o danger_n of_o those_o law_n make_v to_o their_o prejudice_n in_o his_o parliament_n but_o they_o have_v verify_v the_o proverb_n too_o fast_o too_o loose_a and_o will_v not_o rest_v till_o they_o have_v give_v this_o precedent_n against_o themselves_o the_o rest_n that_o mr._n molineux_n say_v to_o save_v this_o act_n appoint_v the_o new_a oath_n from_o be_v a_o surrender_n of_o the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o ireland_n be_v only_o by_o way_n of_o complaint_n p._n 114_o 115._o that_o if_o some_o such_o consideration_n as_o these_o beforementioned_a may_v not_o plead_v for_o we_o say_v he_o we_o be_v of_o all_o his_o majesty_n subject_n the_o most_o unfortunate_a then_o he_o appeal_v to_o the_o king_n justice_n to_o protect_v the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o ireland_n and_o of_o their_o parliament_n as_o of_o england_n and_o scotland_n etc._n etc._n but_o he_o may_v be_v tell_v that_o justice_n do_v not_o relieve_v any_o but_o infant_n and_o idiot_n against_o their_o own_o act_n and_o deed._n and_o that_o the_o question_n be_v not_o now_o what_o right_n the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n have_v former_o which_o mr._n molineux_n have_v make_v appear_v plain_a enough_o but_o whether_o they_o have_v not_o surrender_v they_o particular_o by_o their_o entire_a obedience_n to_o this_o act_n of_o the_o english_a parliament_n appoint_v the_o new_a oath_n and_o abrogate_a the_o old_a enact_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n in_o ireland_n let_v i_o here_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o two_o english_a act_n the_o one_o for_o impose_v the_o oath_n in_o england_n and_o the_o other_o for_o impose_v they_o in_o ireland_n this_o latter_a have_v set_v such_o prodigious_a penalty_n more_o than_o the_o former_a as_o plain_o show_v the_o difference_n they_o make_v betwixt_o the_o condition_n of_o subject_n
