possibility_n these_o man_n be_v not_o unwilling_a to_o go_v themselves_o but_o probable_o their_o reason_n may_v be_v such_o as_o will_v demonstrate_v it_o un-practicable_a for_o other_o to_o go_v upon_o such_o delusive_a term_n as_o the_o projector_n have_v contrive_v therefore_o to_o follow_v his_o method_n i_o will_v impart_v to_o the_o reader_n the_o very_a answer_n draw_v up_o by_o the_o committee_n and_o present_v to_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o council_n the_o answer_n of_o such_o of_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n and_o commonalty_n of_o ireland_n as_o be_v now_o in_o and_o about_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o westminster_n to_o a_o project_n contain_v in_o three_o paper_n which_o be_v by_o the_o right_n honourable_a the_o lord_n of_o the_o committee_n of_o council_n for_o the_o affair_n of_o ireland_n deliver_v to_o the_o reverend_n dr._n walker_n to_o be_v communicate_v to_o they_o we_o have_v see_v and_o due_o consider_v the_o aforesaid_a paper_n do_v humble_o offer_n first_o that_o many_o of_o the_o allegation_n and_o suggestion_n in_o the_o say_a paper_n contain_v and_o on_o which_o the_o whole_a project_n be_v found_v be_v notorious_o false_a or_o very_o fallacious_a as_o for_o example_n 1._o the_o suggestion_n that_o half_a or_o near_o half_a of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n be_v reduce_v be_v not_o true_a for_o real_o one_o four_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v not_o in_o his_o majesty_n possession_n and_o even_o in_o the_o centre_n of_o that_o part_n the_o irish_a as_o yet_o keep_v the_o important_a fort_n of_o charlemont_n to_o the_o great_a annoyance_n if_o not_o the_o total_a hindrance_n of_o tillage_n in_o the_o neighbourhood_n of_o that_o garrison_n 2._o the_o allegation_n that_o the_o protestant_n of_o that_o reduce_v part_n be_v most_o of_o they_o in_o england_n be_v as_o untrue_a it_o be_v certain_a that_o not_o a_o twenty_o and_o we_o believe_v not_o the_o forty_o part_n of_o they_o be_v now_o in_o this_o kingdom_n 3._o the_o assertion_n that_o the_o consequence_n of_o the_o stay_n of_o the_o irish_a protestant_n here_o must_v be_v a_o famine_n there_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n and_o the_o quite_o contrary_a be_v more_o likely_a for_o if_o they_o be_v there_o they_o and_o their_o family_n will_v eat_v more_o than_o they_o can_v sow_v or_o the_o projector_n propose_v they_o shall_v sow_v and_o consequent_o will_v hasten_v and_o increase_v the_o famine_n rather_o than_o prevent_v it_o 4._o the_o suggestion_n that_o too_o much_o of_o the_o charity-money_n be_v expend_v to_o feed_v the_o luxury_n and_o idleness_n of_o some_o that_o receive_v it_o be_v very_o scandalous_a and_o no_o less_o false_a since_o the_o small_a sum_n give_v to_o any_o one_o person_n be_v too_o little_a to_o administer_v to_o his_o want_n much_o less_o his_o luxury_n and_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o book_n and_o report_n of_o the_o commissioner_n that_o the_o charity-money_n be_v distribute_v with_o as_o much_o care_n and_o caution_n as_o be_v possible_a and_o very_o little_a of_o it_o be_v give_v to_o any_o of_o the_o gentry_n and_o that_o spare_o to_o such_o as_o great_o need_v it_o 5._o the_o insinuation_n that_o the_o irish_a who_o now_o fly_v before_o our_o army_n will_v glad_o return_v and_o settle_v again_o under_o their_o old_a master_n be_v offer_v at_o adventure_n and_o it_o be_v much_o more_o probable_a that_o the_o influence_n their_o clergy_n have_v over_o they_o and_o the_o wrong_n they_o have_v already_o do_v to_o their_o old_a master_n and_o neighbour_n will_v hinder_v they_o from_o return_v moreover_o the_o country_n to_o which_o those_o irish_a be_v now_o flee_v be_v far_o better_a and_o more_o fertile_a than_o the_o reduce_v part_n be_v and_o so_o they_o be_v invite_v back_o to_o their_o loss_n but_o if_o they_o have_v any_o such_o intention_n to_o return_v yet_o this_o argument_n be_v fallacious_a as_o to_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentry_n that_o have_v no_o estate_n nor_o tenant_n in_o ulster_n 6._o the_o main_a supposition_n of_o all_o viz._n that_o there_o be_v want_n of_o man_n in_o ulster_n to_o till_o the_o land_n be_v not_o true_a for_o there_o be_v not_o such_o want_n of_o man_n there_o but_o that_o which_o be_v real_o want_v in_o order_n to_o tillage_n be_v seed_n corn_n cattle_n for_o the_o plough_n and_o other_o necessary_n 7._o the_o suggestion_n that_o the_o english_a be_v fearful_a to_o return_v be_v very_o injurious_a and_o false_a for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o english_a desire_n nothing_o more_o than_o a_o opportunity_n to_o serve_v his_o majesty_n the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o reduction_n of_o that_o kingdom_n and_o have_v always_o declare_v their_o readiness_n so_o to_o do_v whensoever_o it_o shall_v please_v his_o majesty_n to_o enable_v they_o thereunto_o 8._o the_o assertion_n that_o those_o who_o will_v not_o go_v to_o ulster_n will_v be_v leave_v without_o excuse_n be_v a_o great_a mistake_n for_o it_o be_v a_o a_o just_a excuse_n for_o any_o man_n not_o to_o engage_v in_o so_o unreasonable_a a_o project_n when_o the_o ground_n of_o it_o be_v untrue_a and_o the_o method_n of_o it_o impracticable_a 9_o the_o projector_n say_v that_o if_o the_o 60000_o l._n he_o not_o now_o send_v over_o and_o the_o protestant_n send_v away_o to_o sow_v corn_n there_o a_o great_a sum_n than_o now_o pay_v the_o army_n will_v not_o suffice_v to_o buy_v bread_n to_o keep_v the_o english_a and_o irish_a that_o be_v now_o in_o ireland_n next_o year_n if_o that_o shall_v be_v true_a yet_o the_o projector_n have_v not_o by_o any_o proposal_n in_o these_o paper_n offer_v any_o method_n to_o obviate_v it_o for_o he_o propose_v only_o sow_v 10000_o acre_n which_o will_v not_o serve_v those_o that_o sow_v they_o and_o their_o family_n 10._o the_o suggestion_n that_o there_o be_v many_o forfeit_a estate_n in_o ulster_n which_o be_v another_o pillar_n of_o this_o project_n be_v manifest_o untrue_a for_o there_o be_v few_o irish_a papist_n restore_v to_o their_o estate_n in_o this_o province_n then_o in_o any_o other_o in_o that_o kingdom_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o considerable_a estate_n in_o that_o part_n of_o ulster_n now_o in_o our_o quarter_n that_o belong_v to_o such_o irish_a papist_n except_o the_o earl_n of_o antrim_n lord_n strabane_n and_o sir_n neal_n o_fw-fr neale_n and_o it_o be_v well_o know_v most_o part_n of_o those_o estate_n be_v in_o possession_n of_o protestant_n by_o settlement_n in_o jointure_n lease_n mortgage_n or_o other_o encumbrance_n second_o the_o propose_a method_n be_v altogether_o impracticable_a and_o 1._o as_o to_o the_o proclamation_n propose_v it_o be_v without_o precedent_n or_o law_n to_o oblige_v any_o person_n to_o improve_v and_o dwell_v upon_o another_o man_n estate_n and_o if_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o propose_a encouragement_n will_v invite_v they_o than_o there_o need_v no_o such_o proclamation_n for_o interest_n be_v attractive_a enough_o without_o other_o obligation_n but_o the_o quite_o contrary_a appear_v by_o the_o general_a dislike_n of_o those_o proposal_n 2._o the_o inconvenience_n charge_n and_o trouble_v of_o so_o tedious_a a_o journey_n at_o this_o time_n of_o the_o year_n and_o the_o hazard_n and_o trouble_v of_o pass_v the_o sea_n will_v be_v so_o insupportable_a that_o very_o few_o will_v be_v find_v to_o undertake_v it_o but_o above_o all_o there_o be_v no_o house_n or_o convenience_n for_o the_o reception_n and_o entertainment_n of_o so_o many_o family_n of_o the_o other_o province_n as_o the_o projector_n propose_v shall_v go_v to_o that_o reduce_v part_n render_v the_o whole_a project_n unreasonable_a 3._o either_o the_o number_n that_o will_v go_v will_v be_v very_o inconsiderable_a or_o their_o proportion_n of_o the_o money_n not_o sufficient_a to_o bear_v the_o charge_n of_o the_o voyage_n the_o proposer_n write_v of_o ten_o thousand_o man_n that_o he_o have_v compute_v will_v go_v over_o if_o so_o the_o 60000_o l._n will_v be_v but_o six_o pound_n apiece_o one_o with_o another_o and_o when_o the_o price_n of_o a_o musket_n or_o a_o case_n of_o pistol_n and_o the_o charge_n of_o the_o journey_n and_o voyage_n be_v deduct_v from_o eveone_fw-mi there_o will_v not_o be_v enough_o leave_v to_o support_v they_o and_o much_o less_o to_o build_v house_n buy_v bedding_n not_o to_o mention_v other_o furniture_n and_o to_o buy_v seed-corn_n horse_n and_o all_o other_o necessary_n for_o the_o plough_n 4._o it_o seem_v very_o improbable_a as_o well_o as_o unreasonable_a that_o any_o person_n of_o the_o other_o province_n shall_v be_v induce_v to_o go_v to_o ulster_n and_o build_v a_o house_n and_o give_v it_o up_o at_o a_o year_n end_n and_o live_v miserable_o in_o it_o the_o mean_a time_n 5._o it_o be_v unlikely_a that_o two_o such_o substantial_a wealthy_a gentleman_n
