A44660	The character of the Protestants of Ireland impartially set forth in a letter, in answer to seven queries ... : with remarks upon the great charge England is like to be at with those people, and the destruction of that kingdom by famine, if not prevented.	Halifax, George Savile, Marquis of, 1633-1695.	1689 (1689)	Wing H301; ESTC R23371	17,280	34

this_o winter_n many_o be_v perish_v already_o for_o that_o the_o irish_a keep_v the_o man_n prisoner_n after_o have_v rob_v they_o of_o all_o they_o have_v and_o leave_v the_o poor_a woman_n and_o child_n starve_v in_o their_o house_n upon_o the_o whole_a they_o conclude_v that_o the_o kingdom_n will_v be_v in_o a_o manner_n dispeople_v let_v what_o will_v now_o happen_v and_o that_o those_o

the_o money_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v already_o send_v to_o france_n by_o the_o late_a king_n and_o brass_n farthing_n leave_v as_o half-crown_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o silver_n so_o that_o they_o will_v have_v nothing_o to_o purchase_v food_n they_o far_o add_v that_o after_o the_o last_o rebellion_n the_o kingdom_n be_v sull_a of_o money_n than_o ever_o it_o be_v since_o that_o corn_n be_v much_o cheap_a in_o england_n than_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v now_o that_o then_o they_o have_v great_a quantity_n of_o corn_n from_o france_n now_o there_o can_v be_v none_o and_o after_o

the_o air_n and_o bring_v the_o plague_n the_o irish_a scarce_o cover_v their_o dead_a with_o earth_n some_o objection_n i_o make_v to_o these_o despond_v conjecture_n which_o be_v chief_o two_o first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v but_o the_o irish_a will_v keep_v some_o silver-money_n and_o that_o in_o rob_v the_o english_a they_o must_v get_v some_o to_o this_o i_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o irish_a be_v seldom_o master_n of_o money_n their_o treasure_n be_v cattle_n that_o the_o course_n the_o late_a king_n take_v be_v invincible_a to_o draw_v out_o every_o penny_n of_o silver_n they_o have_v for_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o proclaim_v his_o brass_n coin_n to_o pay_v his_o army_n and_o to_o pass_v betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n it_o be_v provide_v that_o all_o his_o revenue_n as_o quitrent_n hearth-money_n excise_n custom_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v pay_v in_o silver_n so_o that_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v a_o penny_n among_o they_o it_o come_v into_o the_o treasury_n for_o their_o have_a money_n of_o the_o english_n or_o plate_n i_o find_v they_o be_v so_o ingenious_a most_o of_o they_o as_o to_o confess_v they_o believe_v the_o english_a leave_v little_a money_n or_o plate_n behind_o they_o my_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o trade_n yet_o in_o such_o a_o fertile_a country_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o the_o irish_a to_o get_v root_n herb_n milk_n flesh_n and_o their_o great_a food_n potato_n which_o we_o see_v here_o in_o england_n after_o once_o set_v be_v never_o to_o be_v get_v out_o of_o the_o ground_n so_o that_o of_o they_o they_o can_v never_o want_v to_o all_o which_o i_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o irish_a for_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o english_a will_v not_o be_v admit_v nor_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o of_o these_o be_v great_a stranger_n to_o garden-stuff_n nor_o be_v there_o garden-seed_n in_o the_o kingdom_n the_o english_a always_o fetch_v they_o from_o england_n milk_n it_o be_v true_a be_v one_o part_n of_o their_o summer_n provision_n

but_o those_o of_o the_o old_a interest_n that_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o the_o first_o english_a that_o go_v for_o ireland_n have_v differ_v sentiment_n and_o say_v they_o have_v rather_o have_v the_o slavish_a irish_a than_o the_o rhedomontado_n french_a or_o stubborn_a dutch_a that_o they_o can_v govern_v and_o i_o find_v the_o old_a english_a of_o ireland_n have_v always_o be_v jealous_a of_o new_a comer_n which_o make_v a_o division_n among_o the_o people_n seven_o i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o seven_o query_n what_o the_o resolution_n of_o they_o in_o general_n be_v and_o of_o that_o i_o can_v give_v no_o certain_a account_n since_o they_o seem_v not_o fix_v themselves_o some_o despair_a other_o in_o hope_n and_o the_o rest_n resolute_a to_o take_v their_o fortune_n there_o but_o by_o the_o near_a computation_n i_o can_v make_v the_o great_a number_n be_v in_o condition_n neither_o to_o go_v nor_o stay_v have_v nothing_o here_o and_o have_v lose_v all_o there_o these_o be_v man_n who_o estate_n lay_v all_o in_o stock_n it_o will_v hardly_o be_v credit_v how_o much_o these_o farmer_n exceed_v we_o in_o their_o stock_n it_o be_v common_a for_o man_n there_o of_o not_o a_o penny_n freehold_n to_o have_v five_o hundred_o head_n of_o black_a cattle_n and_o a_o thousand_o sheep_n many_o of_o two_o and_o three_o thousand_o pound_n worth_a of_o stock_n all_o which_o be_v lose_v and_o they_o be_v breed_v to_o no_o other_o employment_n be_v in_o a_o helpless_a condition_n their_o misfortune_n such_o as_o i_o never_o read_v any_o thing_n like_o it_o in_o story_n exceed_v the_o cruelty_n of_o the_o most_o unchristian_a government_n they_o be_v no_o way_n engage_v against_o the_o late_a king_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o pretender_n to_o any_o of_o the_o irish_a estate_n but_o many_o of_o they_o tenant_n to_o the_o irish_a pretend_v as_o some_o of_o they_o tell_v i_o to_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o late_a king_n in_o hope_n by_o that_o mean_n to_o keep_v their_o stock_n but_o all_o will_v not_o do_v every_o thing_n they_o have_v sweep_v away_o and_o even_o those_o that_o be_v protect_v and_o stay_v there_o in_o obedience_n to_o his_o proclamation_n

like_a to_o have_v wish_v those_o gentleman_n who_o under_o pretence_n of_o conscience_n advocate_n his_o cause_n that_o do_v all_o this_o be_v under_o his_o government_n but_o god_n forbid_v there_o shall_v be_v more_o martyr_n or_o sacrifice_n to_o moloch_n for_o they_o can_v be_v call_v martyr_n that_o suffer_v without_o refuse_v any_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v law._n those_o gentleman_n that_o have_v real_a estate_n and_o be_v here_o in_o england_n i_o find_v most_o of_o they_o in_o want_n of_o money_n as_o much_o as_o those_o that_o have_v all_o in_o personal_a estate_n have_v spend_v all_o they_o bring_v with_o they_o which_o can_v not_o be_v much_o by_o their_o own_o computation_n of_o have_v spend_v eight_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n in_o this_o kingdom_n which_o be_v twenty_o pound_n a_o family_n for_o forty_o thousand_o family_n they_o say_v be_v in_o england_n but_o i_o take_v their_o computation_n of_o expense_n to_o be_v modest_a and_o much_o short_a of_o what_o such_o number_n must_v have_v spend_v in_o six_o and_o nine_o month_n as_o most_o of_o they_o have_v be_v here_o i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o add_v have_v give_v you_o as_o impartial_a a_o
