ireland_n in_o no_o other_o manner_n than_o as_o a_o member_n of_o the_o english_a empire_n we_o agree_v with_o he_o that_o all_o the_o right_n and_o liberty_n of_o englishman_n be_v grant_v to_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n that_o they_o have_v the_o privilege_n of_o hold_v parliament_n and_o in_o short_a that_o they_o have_v a_o complete_a jurisdiction_n and_o form_n of_o government_n settle_v and_o allow_v to_o be_v exercise_v among_o they_o as_o far_o as_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o well-governing_a and_o regulate_v the_o particular_a management_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o so_o considerable_a a_o people_n that_o be_v now_o become_v a_o member_n of_o the_o english_a empire_n and_o be_v separate_v by_o sea_n from_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o supreme_a government_n yet_o all_o this_o must_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v no_o otherwise_o than_o in_o subordination_n to_o the_o supreme_a authority_n of_o england_n which_o be_v evident_a not_o only_o from_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o also_o from_o the_o practice_n that_o have_v always_o be_v observe_v can_v it_o consist_v with_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o any_o powerful_a government_n shall_v subdue_v another_o nation_n much_o inferior_a to_o they_o in_o strength_n place_v a_o colony_n of_o their_o own_o people_n among_o they_o make_v they_o denizen_n and_o endow_v they_o in_o all_o the_o

by_o themselves_o that_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o be_v in_o any_o subordination_n to_o the_o kingdom_n that_o thus_o far_o subdue_v and_o settle_v they_o but_o must_v ever_o after_o be_v

be_v this_o like_o a_o separate_a kingdom_n a_o independent_a government_n or_o a_o neighbour_n nation_n as_o free_a as_o in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n can_v any_o man_n be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o

ireland_n sure_o we_o must_v first_o reckon_v the_o great_a law_n of_o parliament_n etc._n etc._n be_v it_o not_o the_o high_a sanction_n of_o the_o parliamentary_a authority_n that_o all_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o empire_n must_v obey_v its_o supreme_a decree_n in_o receive_v then_o this_o great_a law_n of_o parliament_n be_v not_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n for_o ever_o oblige_v as_o

but_o mr._n molyneux_n mean_v that_o law_n whereby_o all_o law_n receive_v their_o sanction_n the_o free_a debate_n and_o consent_n of_o the_o people_n by_o themselves_o or_o by_o their_o choose_a representative_n his_o drift_n in_o this_o be_v to_o persuade_v we_o that_o because_o it_o be_v grant_v to_o ireland_n to_o hold_v a_o parliament_n within_o themselves_o by_o their_o own_o representative_n that_o therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v in_o any_o subjection_n to_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n wherein_o they_o have_v no_o representative_n and_o it_o be_v upon_o this_o point_n that_o he_o mighty_o value_v himself_o in_o much_o of_o his_o after_o discourse_n yet_o he_o can_v tie_v this_o knot_n so_o fast_o but_o that_o it_o may_v well_o enough_o be_v undo_v this_o parliament_n of_o they_o can_v not_o be_v grant_v they_o further_o than_o for_o the_o manage_n their_o own_o affair_n among_o themselves_o but_o the_o supreme_a legislature_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n must_v be_v permanent_a and_o fix_v in_o its_o head_n according_a to_o the_o first_o constitution_n and_o can_v be_v divide_v or_o grant_v away_o to_o any_o member_n or_o member_n of_o the_o body_n can_v any_o thing_n grant_v away_o itself_o a_o father_n may_v grant_v his_o son_n a_o great_a deal_n of_o liberty_n but_o he_o can_v never_o make_v any_o grant_n to_o divest_v himself_o of_o his_o paternal_a relation_n but_o mr._n molyneux_n can_v have_v no_o notion_n of_o liberty_n if_o a_o man_n may_v be_v bind_v by_o law_n whereto_o he_o have_v not_o give_v his_o consent_n by_o either_o himself_o or_o his_o choose_a representative_a a_o little_a distinction_n now_o will_v make_v we_o agree_v this_o matter_n it_o be_v yet_o no_o oppression_n upon_o he_o if_o he_o neglect_v to_o constitute_v a_o representative_a when_o the_o privilege_n of_o do_v it_o be_v not_o take_v away_o from_o he_o if_o a_o man_n go_v abroad_o and_o stay_v many_o year_n out_o of_o his_o own_o

concern_v they_o because_o they_o have_v no_o representative_n in_o it_o yes_o very_o reasonable_o for_o that_o they_o be_v still_o fellow-subject_n of_o the_o community_n and_o if_o they_o be_v
