better_a habitation_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o to_o argue_v from_o success_n be_v but_o a_o weak_a kind_n of_o argue_v nay_o these_o very_a man_n that_o now_o use_v the_o same_o in_o their_o

two_o or_o three_o example_n among_o many_o shall_v be_v allege_v to_o this_o purpose_n the_o scripture_n tell_v of_o ●●bsakeh_n when_o he_o move_v the_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n as_o these_o man_n

which_o they_o pretend_v this_o they_o will_v inflict_v upon_o the_o irish_a rebel_n for_o that_o protestant_a blood_n shed_v by_o they_o will_v but_o the_o king_n give_v they_o leave_v so_o to_o do_v

but_o we_o conceive_v it_o be_v not_o so_o suitable_a for_o this_o nation_n where_o man_n have_v be_v wont_a to_o enjoy_v their_o own_o and_o to_o leave_v their_o inheritance_n to_o their_o own_o

alas_o we_o have_v read_v that_o ireland_n harbour_v no_o venomous_a viper_n therefore_o we_o be_v confident_a the_o great_a o_o of_o westminster_n will_v never_o adventure_v thither_o in_o their_o

will_v never_o long_o rest_v content_v under_o the_o obedience_n of_o cat-a-mountain_n therefore_o a_o timely_a course_n must_v be_v take_v with_o such_o person_n they_o shall_v all_o be_v send_v
