not_o for_o destruction_n he_o both_o dispense_v that_o justice_n that_o belong_v to_o his_o court_n equal_o and_o speedy_o and_o cut_v off_o many_o fee_n and_o much_o expense_n which_o make_v they_o be_v former_o so_o odious_a and_o also_o when_o scandalous_a person_n be_v bring_v before_o he_o to_o be_v censure_v he_o consider_v that_o church-censure_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v like_o the_o act_n

character_n that_o must_v represent_v the_o care_n he_o take_v of_o the_o native_n he_o observe_v with_o much_o regret_n that_o the_o english_a have_v all_o along_o neglect_v the_o irish_a as_o a_o nation_n not_o only_o conquer_v but_o undisciplineable_a and_o that_o the_o clergy_n have_v scarce_o consider_v they_o as_o a_o part_n of_o their_o charge_n but_o have_v leave_v they_o whole_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o own_o priest_n without_o take_v any_o other_o care_n of_o they_o but_o the_o make_v they_o pay_v their_o tithe_n and_o indeed_o their_o priest_n be_v a_o strange_a sort_n of_o people_n that_o know_v general_o nothing_o but_o the_o read_v their_o office_n which_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o understand_v by_o many_o of_o they_o and_o they_o teach_v the_o people_n nothing_o but_o the_o say_n their_o pater_n and_o ave_n in_o latin_n so_o that_o the_o state_n both_o of_o the_o clergy_n and_o laity_n be_v such_o that_o it_o can_v not_o but_o raise_v great_a compassion_n in_o a_o man_n that_o have_v so_o tender_a a_o sense_n of_o the_o value_n of_o those_o soul_n that_o christ_n have_v purchase_v with_o his_o blood_n therefore_o he_o resolve_v to_o set_v about_o that_o apostolical_a work_n of_o convert_v the_o native_n with_o the_o zeal_n and_o care_n that_o so_o great_a understanding_n require_v he_o know_v the_o gain_n on_o some_o of_o the_o more_o know_v of_o their_o priest_n be_v like_a to_o be_v the_o quick_a way_n for_o by_o their_o mean_n he_o hope_v to_o spread_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n among_o the_o native_n or_o rather_o of_o the_o christian_a religion_n to_o speak_v more_o strict_o for_o they_o have_v no_o sort_n of_o notion_n of_o christianity_n but_o only_o know_v that_o they_o be_v to_o depend_v upon_o their_o priest_n and_o be_v to_o confess_v such_o of_o their_o action_n as_o they_o call_v sin_n to_o they_o and_o be_v to_o pay_v they_o tithe_n the_o bishop_n prevail_v on_o several_a priest_n to_o

strange_a thing_n and_o be_v censure_v by_o many_o as_o contrary_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o english_a nation_n for_o it_o be_v believe_v that_o all_o those_o irish_a convert_v be_v still_o papist_n at_o heart_n and_o may_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o dangerous_a than_o otherwise_o by_o that_o disguise_n which_o they_o have_v put_v on_o but_o he_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n consider_v chief_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a bishop_n he_o also_o think_v the_o true_a interest_n of_o england_n be_v to_o gain_v the_o irish_a to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o religion_n and_o to_o bring_v they_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o that_o which_o only_o turn_v the_o heart_n to_o love_v the_o english_a nation_n and_o so_o he_o judge_v the_o wisdom_n of_o that_o course_n be_v apparent_a as_o well_o as_o the_o piety_n of_o it_o since_o such_o as_o change_v their_o religion_n will_v become_v thereby_o so_o odious_a to_o their_o own_o clergy_n that_o this_o will_v provoke_v they_o to_o further_a degree_n of_o zeal_n in_o gain_v other_o to_o come_v over_o after_o they_o and_o he_o take_v great_a care_n to_o work_v in_o those_o who_o he_o trust_v with_o the_o care_n of_o soul_n a_o full_a conviction_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o religion_n and_o a_o deep_a sense_n of_o the_o importance_n of_o it_o and_o in_o this_o he_o be_v so_o happy_a that_o of_o all_o the_o convert_v that_o he_o have_v
