country_n be_v accurse_v that_o be_v not_o govern_v by_o law_n but_o it_o be_v ignorance_n that_o breed_v contempt_n of_o law_n contempt_n of_o law_n draw_v on_o rebellion_n and_o rebellion_n be_v

language_n of_o the_o conqueror_n and_o for_o this_o very_a cause_n when_o william_n duke_n of_o normandy_n have_v conquer_v england_n hope_v to_o translate_v our_o english_a language_n into_o french_a he_o cause_v all_o our_o english_a law_n to_o be_v write_v and_o set_v down_o in_o the_o french_a tongue_n and_o so_o they_o have_v continue_v and_o be_v still_o remain_v at_o this_o very_a

to_o give_v they_o some_o taste_n therefore_o of_o that_o heavenly_a food_n whereof_o they_o have_v never_o yet_o feel_v smack_n or_o savour_n he_o have_v cause_v the_o new_a testament_n together_o with_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n in_o that_o form_n and_o manner_n as_o it_o be_v now_o use_v in_o our_o english_a church_n to_o be_v both_o translate_v into_o irish_a and_o to_o be_v

they_o by_o compulsion_n of_o law_n now_o for_o the_o irish_a to_o inure_v themselves_o to_o speak_v english_a i_o think_v it_o be_v happy_a for_o england_n &_o ireland_n both_o if_o never_o a_o papist_n throughout_o that_o whole_a country_n can_v either_o speak_v or_o so_o much_o as_o understand_v a_o word_n of_o english_a and_o it_o be_v hold_v for_o a_o maxim_n in_o ireland_n that_o ten_o

although_o the_o irish_a be_v proud_a enough_o of_o mind_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o light_o proud_a in_o their_o apparel_n and_o yet_o the_o example_n of_o our_o english_a pride_n have_v do_v a_o

to_o speak_v truth_n of_o our_o gentlewoman_n of_o ireland_n that_o be_v of_o irish_a birth_n they_o have_v little_a practice_n either_o in_o pride_n or_o in_o good_a housewifry_n for_o they_o be_v
