A26165	An answer to Mr. Molyneux his Case of Ireland's being bound by acts of Parliament in England, stated, and his dangerous notion of Ireland's being under no subordination to the parliamentary authority of England refuted, by reasoning from his own arguments and authorities.

the_o king_n in_o those_o day_n can_v not_o remove_v at_o pleasure_n who_o have_v authority_n to_o judge_v whether_o the_o king_n be_v present_a or_o absent_a or_o do_v he_o think_v that_o when_o a_o irish_a appeal_n come_v before_o they_o these_o judge_n can_v not_o meddle_v in_o it_o or_o if_o they_o do_v whilst_o the_o king_n be_v present_a they_o be_v all_o on_o a_o sudden_a swallow_v up_o or_o consubstantiate_v into_o the_o king_n or_o if_o they_o act_v in_o his_o absence_n a_o irish_a cause_n will_v immediate_o transubstantiate_v they_o all_o four_o into_o the_o real_a presence_n of_o one_o king_n of_o ireland_n in_o his_o proper_a person_n but_o if_o this_o shall_v be_v too_o gross_a to_o put_v upon_o mr._n molyneux_n we_o must_v even_o resolve_v it_o other_o way_n and_o

how_o and_o which_o way_n this_o business_n of_o the_o writ_n of_o error_n may_v come_v about_o and_o in_o what_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v think_v to_o operate_v but_o i_o will_v leave_v he_o in_o the_o quiet_a and_o peaceable_a enjoyment_n of_o they_o because_o i_o think_v it_o not_o worth_a while_n to_o trouble_v myself_o or_o the_o reader_n more_o about_o they_o ●_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o he_o will_v not_o hau●_n we_o to_o conclude_v 139_o that_o if_o the_o king_n b●nch_n in_o ireland_n ●e_v subordinate_a to_o the_o king_n bench_n in_o england_n that_o therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o parliament_n of_o irela●d_n be_v subordinate_a to_o that_o of_o england_n and_o though_o as_o he_o see_v we_o have_v a_o very_a good_a argument_n for_o that_o a_o fort●ort_n yet_o what_o i_o have_v say_v before_o may_v satisfy_v he_o that_o we_o have_v other_o demonstration_n enough_o to_o assure_v we_o in_o the_o constant_a subordination_n of_o that_o kingdom_n to_o this_o beside_o the_o lie_a of_o this_o writ_n of_o error_n which_o the_o very_a reason_n of_o the_o thing_n maugre_o all_o his_o endeavour_n to_o shift_v it_o will_v evince_v that_o this_o pre-eminence_n must_v infallible_o have_v be_v preserve_v to_o england_n from_o the_o first_o annex_v of_o ireland_n for_o after_o they_o be_v become_v oblige_v to_o be_v rule_v and_o govern_v by_o our_o law_n whether_o

irish_a act_n of_o faculty_n behold_v the_o mighty_a force_n of_o this_o argument_n the_o people_n of_o england_n do_v in_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n make_v a_o declaration_n of_o their_o ancient_a

for_o the_o law_n give_v they_o at_o first_o from_o england_n be_v never_o devise_v within_o that_o realm_n therefore_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n can_v be_v under_o any_o subordination_n of_o

and_o tother_o in_o this_o debate_n and_o here_o mr._n molyneux_n open_v a_o very_a divert_v scene_n but_o fit_a for_o ridicule_n and_o disdain_n than_o argument_n he_o tell_v we_o 142._o there_o

the_o assistance_n of_o a_o very_a considerable_a power_n from_o france_n and_o if_o mr._n molyneux_n doctrine_n be_v sound_a can_v any_o body_n then_o blame_v the_o irish_a and_o old_a english_a of_o his_o own_o religion_n to_o join_v with_o he_o in_o the_o assert_v his_o ancient_a right_n to_o that_o kingdom_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o must_v own_v that_o i_o know_v no_o other_o reason_n that_o

but_o by_o the_o strength_n of_o england_n indeed_o when_o we_o have_v send_v over_o a_o army_n some_o of_o they_o go_v back_o again_o and_o together_o with_o those_o that_o remain_v in_o ireland_n

in_o the_o exercise_n of_o the_o natural_a allegiance_n and_o in_o the_o discharge_v of_o that_o duty_n which_o
