wood-kerne_n the_o devowr_a wolf_n and_o other_o suspicious_a irish_a will_v so_o attend_v on_o their_o business_n as_o their_o be_v there_o shall_v be_v little_o profitable_a unto_o they_o for_o a_o example_n sir_n tobye_n cawlfield_n he_o dwell_v in_o charlemount_n a_o fort_n of_o many_o other_o the_o best_a and_o well_o furnish_v with_o man_n and_o munition_n yet_o now_o even_o in_o this_o fair_a calm_a of_o quiet_n his_o people_n be_v drive_v every_o night_n to_o lay_v up_o all_o his_o cattle_n as_o it_o be_v in_o ward_n and_o do_v he_o and_o he_o what_o they_o can_v the_o wolf_n and_o the_o wood-kerne_n within_o caliever_n shoot_v of_o his_o fort_n have_v often_o time_n a_o share_n yet_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v no_o man_n keep_v better_a order_n aswell_o for_o the_o safeguard_n of_o himself_o and_o his_o neighbour_n as_o for_o the_o government_n of_o all_o those_o part_n about_o he_o the_o like_a i_o have_v observe_v in_o many_o other_o place_n and_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n all_o man_n there_o in_o all_o place_n do_v the_o like_a and_o that_o within_o the_o english_a pale_a as_o they_o a_o long_a time_n have_v call_v it_o sir_n john_n king_n he_o dwell_v within_o half_a a_o mile_n of_o dublin_n sir_n henry_n harrington_n within_o half_a a_o mile_n on_o the_o other_o side_n thereof_o few_o man_n that_o ever_o i_o have_v see_v better_o seat_v for_o much_o good_a soil_n they_o also_o do_v the_o like_a for_o those_o sore_o name_v enemy_n do_v every_o night_n survey_v the_o field_n to_o the_o very_a wall_n of_o dublin_n whatsoever_o be_v leave_v abroad_o be_v in_o danger_n to_o be_v lose_v so_o they_o can_v for_o the_o foresay_a cause_n contrive_v any_o thing_n to_o much_o profit_n although_o it_o have_v be_v inhabit_v a_o long_a time_n the_o consideration_n whereof_o satisfy_v i_o with_o the_o impossibility_n of_o plant_v a_o mamnor_n under_o the_o protection_n of_o any_o strong_a build_v castle_n but_o after_o that_o i_o have_v travail_v among_o the_o mere_a irish_a and_o have_v sufficient_o inform_v myself_o with_o their_o condition_n their_o nature_n and_o manner_n of_o life_n i_o find_v it_o most_o certain_o impossible_a by_o such_o kind_n of_o plantation_n to_o improve_v any_o thing_n with_o security_n to_o any_o great_a profit_n neither_o any_o with_o who_o i_o confer_v will_v or_o can_v set_v down_o how_o with_o security_n any_o thing_n may_v be_v undertake_v therefore_o the_o principal_a studd_fw-mi of_o this_o frame_n must_v be_v wrought_v with_o a_o tenor_n more_o substantial_a than_o have_v be_v hitherto_o by_o any_o one_o mention_v i_o acknowledge_v and_o see_v it_o sufficient_o that_o many_o castle_n and_o fort_n well_o fortify_v do_v and_o will_v restrain_v the_o violence_n of_o such_o a_o scatter_a people_n as_o they_o be_v be_v at_o this_o present_a altogether_o without_o man_n of_o conduct_n or_o armour_n but_o i_o think_v those_o castle_n &_o fort_n more_o necessary_a in_o time_n of_o war_n for_o then_o thereby_o the_o cattle_n of_o the_o rebel_n be_v cut_v off_o and_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o unite_v themselves_o into_o many_o strong_a troop_n otherwise_o the_o garrison_n of_o those_o place_n will_v bereave_v they_o of_o all_o their_o victual_n and_o hinder_v their_o commerce_n and_o all_o their_o other_o intention_n whatsoever_o for_o they_o can_v be_v strong_a enough_o at_o one_o instant_a in_o every_o place_n to_o encounter_v the_o force_n of_o those_o military_a garrison_n who_o be_v maintain_v at_o a_o great_a rate_n as_o i_o think_v out_o of_o the_o exchequer_n for_o these_o undertaker_n to_o plant_v themselves_o so_o in_o this_o time_n of_o quiet_a i_o do_v very_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v to_o small_a avail_n and_o not_o the_o best_a way_n to_o secure_v themselves_o with_o their_o good_n and_o that_o wild_a country_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n for_o although_o there_o be_v no_o apparent_a enemy_n nor_o any_o visible_a main_a
