of_o its_o adversary_n one_o may_v easy_o perceive_v by_o our_o author_n manner_n of_o argue_v where_o the_o shoe_n pinch_v he_o be_v real_o concern_v that_o ireland_n be_v not_o altogether_o a_o

the_o east-indies_n as_o far_o distant_a as_o ireland_n be_v from_o england_n that_o make_v up_o but_o one_o kingdom_n and_o govern_v by_o the_o same_o law_n but_o the_o wisdom_n of_o england_n will_v not_o judge_v it_o time_n fit_v to_o do_v this_o till_o we_o of_o ireland_n be_v one_o man_n child_n either_o in_o reality_n or_o affection_n we_o wish_v the_o latter_a and_o have_v make_v many_o

not_o how_o those_o instance_n have_v any_o manner_n of_o relation_n to_o the_o english_a chief_a governor_n in_o ireland_n they_o be_v neither_o the_o cause_n contriver_n nor_o promoter_n of_o those_o acts._n the_o king_n and_o a_o english_a parliament_n do_v it_o without_o consult_v they_o if_o they_o have_v it_o be_v forty_o to_o one_o my_o lord_n of_o ormond_n and_o the_o council_n who_o stake_n be_v so_o great_a in_o ireland_n will_v have_v hinder_v it_o as_o much_o as_o possible_a our_o author_n argument_n prove_v indeed_o that_o it_o be_v detrimental_a to_o ireland_n to_o be_v a_o

can_v at_o all_o be_v deduce_v from_o it_o short_o i_o expect_v he_o will_v speak_v plain_a and_o in_o down_o right_a term_n propose_v that_o the_o two_o kingdom_n may_v be_v govern_v by_o different_a king_n matter_n seem_v to_o grow_v ripe_a for_o such_o a_o disloyal_a proposition_n if_o these_o act_n and_o not_o the_o subjection_n to_o a_o english_a king_n be_v the_o grievance_n they_o will_v be_v so_o to_o the_o british_a there_o as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o native_n but_o though_o we_o wish_v they_o repeal_v we_o do_v not_o repine_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n if_o the_o british_a who_o be_v the_o most_o considerable_a trade_n part_n of_o that_o nation_n and_o consequent_o feel_v the_o ill_a effect_n of_o those_o act_n more_o sensible_o can_v be_v content_v why_o the_o native_n shall_v not_o acquiesce_v in_o it_o unless_o it_o be_v for_o the_o forementioned_a reason_n i_o can_v see_v our_o author_n allow_v that_o there_o be_v different_a way_n of_o obey_v the_o king_n it_o be_v a_o point_n gain_v for_o we_o and_o prove_v there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o partiality_n exercise_v in_o execute_v his_o majesty_n command_n as_o may_v destroy_v the_o very_a intent_n of_o they_o and_o yet_o take_v the_o matter_n strict_o the_o king_n be_v obey_v but_o a_o good_a minister_n will_v consider_v his_o master_n intention_n and_o not_o make_v use_n of_o a_o word_n that_o may_v have_v a_o double_a sense_n to_o the_o ruin_n of_o a_o kingdom_n nor_o of_o a_o latitude_n of_o power_n wherewith_o he_o be_v entrust_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o most_o considerable_a party_n in_o it_o far_o be_v it_o from_o we_o to_o think_v it_o be_v his_o majesty_n intention_n to_o depopulate_v a_o flourish_a country_n to_o undo_v multitude_n of_o laborious_a thrive_a family_n in_o it_o to_o diminish_v and_o destroy_v his_o own_o revenue_n to_o put_v the_o sword_n into_o madman_n hand_n who_o be_v swear_v enemy_n to_o the_o british_a no_o his_o majesty_n who_o be_v willing_a that_o liberty_n of_o trade_n as_o well_o as_o conscience_n shall_v equal_o flourish_v in_o all_o part_n of_o his_o dominion_n that_o recommend_v himself_o to_o his_o subject_n by_o his_o impartiality_n in_o distribute_v office_n of_o trust_n and_o from_o that_o practice_n raise_v his_o great_a argument_n to_o move_v his_o people_n to_o repeal_n the_o penal_a law_n never_o intend_v that_o some_o general_a

one_o calculate_v for_o the_o latitude_n of_o england_n another_o for_o ireland_n we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o conclude_v in_o respect_n to_o the_o king_n that_o his_o command_n have_v be_v ill_o
