or_o what_o disease_n soever_o never_o so_o strange_a never_o so_o inveterate_a which_o be_v not_o there_o cure_v but_o i_o be_o sorry_a for_o dublyn_n the_o place_n where_o i_o myself_o do_v live_v the_o town_n that_o of_o all_o other_o in_o ireland_n i_o do_v best_a love_n i_o do_v not_o therefore_o speak_v any_o thing_n malicious_o i_o appeal_v to_o their_o own_o knowledge_n whether_o i_o

man_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o all_o profession_n and_o of_o all_o degree_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v detect_v and_o thus_o i_o hope_v the_o good_a will_v take_v no_o exception_n at_o any_o thing_n that_o i_o shall_v true_o report_v of_o those_o that_o be_v ill_a and_o although_o i_o direct_v

never_o hear_v of_o god_n m._n stanihurst_n far_a suppose_v that_o the_o proverb_n to_o weep_v irish_a have_v here_o the_o first_o beginning_n it_o may_v be_v so_o and_o it_o be_v troth_n that_o in_o

that_o for_o some_o small_a recompense_n give_v they_o will_v furnish_v the_o cry_n with_o great_a shriek_v and_o howl_v than_o those_o that_o be_v grieve_v indeed_o and_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o

consider_v that_o notwithstanding_o this_o unchristianlike_a demeanour_n of_o the_o irish_a that_o in_o their_o burial_n do_v show_v themselves_o like_o infidel_n repugnant_a to_o all_o christianity_n there_o be_v neither_o jesuite_n seminary_n nor_o popish_a priest_n that_o do_v so_o swarm_v in_o the_o country_n that_o will_v once_o rebuke_v or_o find_v fault_n at_o the_o matter_n but_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o the_o pope_n doctrine_n have_v no_o such_o operation_n to_o draw_v man_n from_o darkness_n to_o light_n but_o it_o serve_v rather_o to_o hoodwink_v they_o or_o put_v out_o both_o the_o eye_n and_o so_o make_v they_o stark_o blind_a cap._n 4._o from_o whence_o it_o proceed_v that_o the_o irish_a be_v so_o repugnant_a to_o the_o english_a i_o remember_v there_o be_v sometime_o one_o alan_n cope_n who_o have_v write_v of_o many_o matter_n who_o if_o a_o man_n may_v judge_v of_o but_o as_o he_o have_v testify_v of_o himself_o be_v a_o most_o arrogant_a &_o

patrick_n be_v therefore_o complain_v on_o and_o accuse_v by_o m._n stanihurst_n that_o cope_n have_v wrong_v and_o slander_v the_o whole_a irish_a nation_n i_o hope_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o deal_v withal_o that_o because_o i_o have_v detect_v and_o reprove_v the_o uncivil_a demeanour_n of_o those_o that_o be_v blame-worthy_a i_o shall_v not_o therefore_o be_v exclaim_v on_o to_o be_v a_o

therefore_o if_o i_o happen_v to_o glance_v at_o the_o abuse_n of_o those_o that_o be_v ill_a let_v not_o those_o that_o be_v good_a think_v themselves_o thereby_o to_o be_v detect_v or_o so_o much_o as_o touch_v but_o as_o the_o throng_n of_o fool_n do_v evermore_o exceed_v the_o number_n of_o the_o wise_a so_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o rude_a and_o ignorant_a among_o the_o irish_a do_v far_o
