by_o the_o same_o argumentation_n scotland_n itself_o may_v be_v bind_v by_o english_a law_n i_o confess_v i_o will_v glad_o pay_v a_o great_a respect_n to_o your_o person_n but_o i_o will_v not_o

before_o it_o can_v be_v rational_o conclude_v there_o be_v a_o parliament_n there_o and_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o think_v they_o can_v make_v law_n to_o bind_v scotland_n because_o they_o themselves_o

they_o may_v repeal_v all_o they_o make_v which_o can_v be_v except_o they_o have_v a_o jurisdiction_n above_o they_o for_o the_o power_n which_o any_o one_o body_n or_o society_n of_o man_n have_v

otherwise_o a_o very_a pretty_a way_n of_o argue_v viz._n that_o because_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n do_v allow_v of_o all_o the_o statute_n make_v in_o england_n to_o be_v good_a in_o ireland_n therefore_o they_o have_v not_o be_v so_o without_o such_o allowance_n who_o do_v you_o think_v be_v convince_v by_o this_o argument_n beside_o yourself_o certain_o a_o indifferent_a man_n will_v rather_o have_v draw_v this_o conclusion_n from_o it_o viz._n that_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n look_v upon_o themselves_o oblige_v to_o allow_v of_o and_o pay_v obedience_n to_o the_o law_n make_v by_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n from_o p._n 70_o to_o 77._o you_o proceed_v to_o show_v how_o and_o at_o what_o time_n several_a english_a statute_n be_v allow_v of_o in_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n to_o this_o i_o can_v say_v no_o more_o than_o i_o have_v do_v before_o only_o i_o shall_v observe_v what_o you_o say_v p._n 70_o 71._o that_o by_o the_o opinion_n of_o your_o best_a lawyer_n there_o be_v divers_a both_o before_o and_o since_o the_o 10_o of_o henry_n the_o viith_o which_o be_v and_o be_v of_o force_n in_o ireland_n though_o not_o allow_v of_o by_o that_o parliament_n and_o the_o reason_n you_o give_v for_o it_o be_v p._n 71._o that_o they_o be_v declaratory_a of_o the_o ancient_a common_a law_n of_o england_n and_o not_o introductive_a of_o any_o new_a law_n do_v you_o think_v sir_n this_o to_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n why_o those_o law_n be_v of_o force_n in_o ireland_n suppose_v law_n have_v be_v make_v to_o the_o same_o purpose_n in_o the_o parliament_n of_o scotland_n will_v they_o therefore_o have_v be_v pleadable_a in_o ireland_n
