dubline_n that_o will_v take_v exception_n at_o this_o and_o these_o thing_n be_v better_a to_o be_v bury_v with_o silence_n then_o to_o be_v discourse_v with_o diligence_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o fault_n to_o speak_v against_o the_o entertain_n of_o popish_a priest_n in_o dubline_n that_o be_v well_o know_v to_o be_v his_o majesty_n protest_a enemy_n i_o have_v commit_v that_o fault_n through_o ignorance_n for_o i_o have_v think_v that_o the_o citizen_n of_o dubline_n in_o general_a that_o have_v receive_v so_o many_o liberal_a gift_n such_o gracious_a grant_n and_o large_a liberty_n from_o diverse_a and_o sundry_a prince_n of_o england_n and_o that_o be_v so_o bountiful_o confirm_v by_o our_o most_o gracious_a king_n that_o now_o be_v i_o have_v think_v the_o citizen_n of_o dubline_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o love_n and_o duty_n to_o so_o good_a and_o gracious_a a_o king_n shall_v at_o the_o least_o have_v restrain_v though_o not_o punish_v that_o brood_n of_o viper_n that_o do_v practice_v nothing_o but_o treason_n and_o contempt_n both_o against_o his_o majesty_n &_o his_o proceed_n and_o i_o persuade_v myself_o again_o that_o the_o mayor_n of_o dubline_n that_o be_v so_o great_a a_o magistrate_n within_o his_o own_o precinct_n that_o have_v the_o manage_n of_o all_o affair_n within_o the_o city_n and_o that_o stand_v upon_o his_o prerogative_n within_o his_o liberty_n and_o will_v have_v no_o more_o to_o meddle_v but_o himself_o that_o may_v hang_v that_o may_v draw_v that_o may_v punish_v and_o have_v his_o majesty_n sword_n commit_v unto_o he_o for_o the_o same_o purpose_n if_o all_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a warrant_n for_o the_o mayor_n of_o dubline_n to_o hunt_v out_o of_o his_o jurisdiction_n those_o sower_n of_o sedition_n those_o perverter_n of_o his_o majesty_n good_a subject_n and_o those_o malicious_a enemy_n to_o their_o king_n it_o be_v pity_n that_o he_o have_v not_o a_o new_a charter_n wherein_o these_o service_n may_v be_v better_o warrant_v unto_o he_o i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o mayor_n that_o be_v now_o of_o the_o time_n present_a but_o i_o speak_v of_o all_o that_o be_v past_a and_o of_o the_o rest_n that_o be_v to_o come_v for_o if_o every_o mayor_n within_o his_o liberty_n and_o every_o bishop_n within_o his_o diocese_n throughout_o ireland_n will_v do_v their_o duty_n god_n will_v be_v more_o honour_v the_o king_n better_o obey_v and_o the_o people_n unite_v in_o that_o love_n and_o amity_n that_o now_o be_v dissipate_v by_o this_o contrariety_n in_o religion_n in_o the_o 16._o chap._n speak_v of_o some_o defect_n in_o the_o government_n of_o dublin_n the_o great_a fault_n that_o be_v there_o arm_v at_o be_v the_o profanation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n that_o day_n which_o god_n have_v command_v to_o be_v keep_v holy_a &_o shall_v be_v dedicate_v to_o his_o honour_n that_o day_n be_v most_o pollute_a in_o dublin_n &_o every_o alehouse_n from_o morning_n till_o night_n be_v pester_v with_o drunkard_n with_o blasphemer_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v of_o whorehunter_n but_o indeed_o with_o all_o kind_n of_o disorder_a people_n it_o be_v truth_n that_o in_o england_n and_o else_o where_o that_o i_o know_v in_o christendom_n there_o be_v drunkard_n there_o be_v blasphemer_n &_o there_o be_v whorehunter_n too_o many_o but_o the_o rate_n penal_a law_n to_o restrain_v they_o but_o especial_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o in_o england_n there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o permit_v to_o keep_v a_o tipple_a house_n but_o he_o must_v from_o year_n to_o year_n enter_v into_o bond_n and_o good_a surety_n with_o he_o to_o keep_v good_a rule_n and_o order_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o profess_v to_o be_v a_o christian_n be_v he_o protestant_n or_o papist_n that_o will_v think_v i_o have_v offend_v in_o this_o and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o make_v any_o revocation_n in_o the_o matter_n because_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o man_n aggrieve_v at_o it_o i_o will_v be_v sorry_a to_o reiterate_v the_o occasion_n that_o breed_v offence_n between_o the_o two_o sherive_n and_o myself_o because_o my_o desire_n be_v rather_o to_o qualify_v then_o to_o revive_v matter_n of_o unkindness_n but_o what_o soever_o have_v former_o pass_v between_o we_o i_o protest_v i_o be_o so_o free_a from_o malice_n towards_o they_o that_o i_o do_v not_o know_v they_o from_o other_o man_n when_o i_o meet_v they_o in_o the_o street_n what_o meaning_n they_o have_v towards_o i_o i_o know_v not_o if_o it_o be_v good_a i_o will_v be_v glad_a if_o it_o be_v ill_a i_o care_v not_o the_o worst_a i_o do_v wish_v unto_o they_o be_v that_o it_o will_v please_v god_n to_o inspire_v they_o with_o his_o spirit_n of_o truth_n and_o as_o i_o wish_v it_o from_o my_o heart_n so_o help_v i_o god_n and_o although_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o have_v ever_o hate_a popery_n yet_o i_o protest_v i_o never_o hate_v papist_n for_o his_o religion_n but_o pit_v he_o especial_o he_o or_o they_o that_o i_o know_v to_o be_v ignorant_o lead_v and_o seduce_v by_o other_o for_o i_o hate_v not_o the_o man_n though_o i_o hate_v his_o religion_n and_o let_v i_o now_o crave_v pardon_n of_o the_o citizen_n of_o dubline_n in_o general_a but_o to_o lament_v that_o calamity_n pitiful_a to_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o in_o the_o city_n of_o dubline_n where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n have_v be_v so_o plentiful_o preach_v in_o such_o continuance_n &_o that_o shall_v give_v light_a &_o example_n to_o all_o the_o rest_n both_o of_o city_n and_o town_n through_o out_o all_o ireland_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v a_o yearly_a choice_n of_o a_o mayor_n and_o two_o sherive_n that_o will_v either_o go_v to_o church_n or_o willing_o take_v the_o oath_n of_o alleadgeance_n to_o his_o majesty_n &_o that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o to_o employ_v for_o his_o majesty_n service_n but_o such_o as_o will_v impugn_v his_o majesty_n law_n but_o they_o will_v say_v a_o papist_n may_v be_v a_o sound_a subject_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o he_o may_v be_v so_o but_o i_o will_v ask_v our_o papist_n of_o dubline_n or_o else_o where_o but_o this_o question_n what_o they_o do_v think_v whither_o at_o rome_n or_o at_o rheims_n or_o where_o soever_o otherwise_o where_o popopery_n bear_v sway_v whither_o they_o will_v put_v a_o know_a protestant_n in_o commission_n for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o pope_n they_o will_v soon_o put_v out_o both_o his_o eye_n and_o carry_v he_o to_o a_o stake_n but_o what_o a_o gracious_a king_n be_v this_o that_o seek_v but_o a_o oath_n for_o his_o security_n and_o of_o who_o marry_o of_o those_o that_o have_v such_o cunning_a to_o equivocate_v and_o have_v so_o many_o dispensation_n in_o a_o readiness_n that_o what_o they_o swear_v to_o day_n they_o may_v revoke_v to_o morrow_n &_o y_fw-fr ●_o be_v teach_v by_o their_o priest_n that_o when_o they_o be_v bring_v before_o such_o as_o they_o account_v for_o heretic_n they_o may_v both_o sophistical_o swear_v &_o sophistical_o answer_v this_o i_o hope_v may_v suffice_v for_o a_o revocation_n of_o all_o oversighte_n that_o i_o have_v commit_v against_o the_o citizen_n of_o dublin_n in_o the_o 16._o chap._n of_o my_o book_n and_o now_o to_o speak_v something_o for_o the_o credit_n of_o that_o city_n &_o to_o deliver_v true_o but_o what_o i_o have_v receive_v from_o some_o of_o the_o citizen_n themselves_o &_o not_o of_o the_o inferior_a sort_n but_o from_o some_o of_o the_o best_a alderman_n of_o the_o city_n of_o dubline_n who_o foresee_v the_o partiality_n that_o be_v use_v by_o officer_n of_o all_o sort_n that_o be_v papist_n that_o do_v execute_v there_o place_n not_o only_o to_o the_o great_a detriment_n of_o his_o majesty_n service_n but_o also_o when_o any_o of_o his_o majesty_n best_a affect_a subject_n that_o be_v know_v to_o be_v religious_a &_o have_v conform_v themselves_o to_o his_o majesty_n proceed_n if_o any_o of_o these_o shall_v light_v into_o the_o lap_n either_o of_o a_o sergeant_n a_o constable_n or_o a_o jailer_n that_o be_v a_o papist_n he_o shall_v be_v afflict_v and_o exact_v on_o with_o more_o rigour_n &_o cruelty_n then_o if_o he_o be_v among_o turk_n or_o jew_n where_o contrary_a wise_a if_o a_o papist_n be_v bring_v in_o question_n although_o it_o be_v sometime_o for_o his_o disobedience_n towards_o his_o prince_n there_o be_v scarce_o a_o officer_n that_o will_v do_v his_o duty_n to_o apprehend_v he_o or_o be_v aprehend_v there_o will_v hardly_o befound_v a_o jailer_n that_o will_v scantle_v he_o with_o any_o short_a allowance_n belong_v to_o a_o offender_n but_o will_v rather_o entertain_v he_o as_o a_o friend_n and_o the_o more_o
