between_o law_n and_o equity_n as_o also_o between_o civil_a and_o ecclesiastical_a jurisdiction_n doubt_n whether_o the_o kingdom_n of_o england_n have_v power_n over_o the_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n beside_o the_o wonderful_a paradox_n that_o the_o englishman_n lawful_o send_v to_o suppress_v rebel_n in_o ireland_n shall_v after_o have_v effect_v the_o same_o be_v

subject_n of_o england_n be_v as_o effective_a as_o to_o the_o gain_n of_o wealth_n and_o riches_n as_o those_o of_o france_n and_o if_o ten_o man_n can_v defend_v themselves_o as_o well_o in_o
