then_o spight_v i_o confess_v i_o have_v make_v myself_o know_v in_o print_n to_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o popery_n but_o not_o to_o ireland_n aristotle_n be_v upbraid_v by_o some_o of_o his_o friend_n that_o he_o have_v be_v over_o merciful_a to_o a_o wicked_a man_n i_o have_v indeed_o say_v aristotle_n be_v merciful_a towards_o the_o man_n but_o not_o towards_o his_o wickedness_n so_o say_v i_o by_o ireland_n though_o i_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o idolatry_n that_o be_v commit_v in_o the_o country_n yet_o i_o find_v no_o fault_n with_o the_o country_n itself_o nor_o with_o a_o great_a

i_o know_v there_o be_v as_o worthy_a man_n in_o ireland_n as_o any_o be_v in_o england_n though_o not_o in_o such_o generality_n nor_o so_o many_o in_o number_n neither_o be_v that_o to_o be_v

be_v no_o less_o superstitious_a no_o less_o idolatrous_a nor_o no_o less_o contentious_a both_o to_o god_n and_o the_o k._n then_o the_o most_o wild_a or_o savage_a irish_a man_n that_o never_o
