opportunity_n to_o that_o ingrateful_a and_o incorrigible_a nation_n to_o wage_v war_n with_o their_o benefactor_n and_o to_o endeavour_v the_o utter_a extirpation_n of_o the_o english_a blood_n this_o indeed_o be_v but_o to_o repeat_v the_o old_a game_n to_o make_v the_o irish_a gainer_n by_o their_o rebellion_n and_o the_o english_a the_o loser_n for_o what_o equality_n of_o reason_n can_v

i_o must_v confess_v i_o never_o hear_v before_o that_o he_o have_v subdue_v savoy_n but_o certain_o be_v no_o way_n applicable_a to_o the_o subject_a in_o hand_n nor_o urge_v with_o the_o relation_n of_o such_o circumstance_n as_o make_v the_o case_n quite_o disserent_fw-la if_o we_o do_v not_o hear_v of_o confiscation_n or_o extirpation_n in_o savoy_n i_o be_o persuade_v it_o be_v because_o it_o be_v too_o soon_o to_o alienate_v or_o destroy_v that_o country_n before_o he_o be_v in_o possession_n of_o it_o so_o then_o in_o matter_n of_o fact_n it_o may_v not_o be_v true_a that_o they_o be_v

can_v be_v subject_a to_o forfeiture_n since_o they_o owe_v he_o nothing_o nor_o be_v before_o under_o his_o allegiance_n if_o the_o french_a king_n have_v so_o noble_o indulge_v the_o gentleman_n of_o estate_n where_o he_o have_v extend_v his_o conquest_n in_o flanders_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v it_o proceed_v more_o from_o policy_n than_o christian_a compassion_n the_o conquest_n of_o that_o country_n be_v not_o entire_a and_o therefore_o unseasonable_a for_o he_o to_o show_v his_o resentment_n and_o well_o may_v he_o boast_v of_o cardinal_n richlieus_n treatment_n of_o the_o

at_o that_o time_n to_o oblige_v he_o to_o a_o compliance_n with_o those_o capitulation_n second_o it_o be_v offer_v that_o these_o people_n crime_n be_v not_o so_o horrible_a as_o some_o will_v
