dublin_n july_n 22_o d_o 1673_o a_o essay_n upon_o the_o advancement_n of_o trade_n in_o ireland_n my_o lord_n i_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v that_o fall_v into_o discourse_n other_o day_n and_o give_v your_o excellency_n the_o occasion_n of_o desire_v i_o to_o digest_v into_o some_o method_n and_o upon_o paper_n the_o mean_n and_o way_n i_o esteem_v most_o proper_a for_o the_o advance_n of_o trade_n in_o ireland_n this_o i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o you_o do_v it_o in_o a_o manner_n and_o with_o expression_n too_o oblige_v to_o be_v refuse_v and_o out_o of_o a_o design_n so_o public_a and_o generous_a as_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v discourage_v i_o have_v therefore_o much_o rather_o obey_v your_o lordship_n in_o this_o point_n how_o ill_o soever_o i_o do_v it_o than_o excuse_v myself_o though_o never_o so_o well_o which_o be_v much_o easy_a than_o the_o other_o for_o i_o may_v allege_v that_o neither_o my_o birth_n nor_o my_o breed_n have_v be_v at_o all_o in_o this_o country_n that_o i_o have_v pass_v only_o one_o short_a period_n of_o my_o life_n here_o and_o the_o great_a part_n thereof_o whole_o out_o of_o business_n and_o public_a thought_n that_o i_o have_v since_o be_v ten_o year_n absent_a from_o it_o and_o be_o now_o here_o upon_o no_o other_o occasion_n than_o of_o a_o short_a visit_n to_o some_o of_o my_o friend_n which_o be_v all_o circumstance_n that_o make_v i_o a_o very_a improper_a subject_n for_o such_o a_o command_n but_o i_o suppose_v the_o vein_n i_o have_v have_v of_o run_v into_o speculation_n of_o this_o kind_n upon_o a_o great_a scene_n of_o trade_n and_o in_o a_o country_n where_o i_o be_v more_o a_o stranger_n and_o the_o too_o partial_a favour_n your_o lordship_n have_v express_v to_o another_o discourse_n of_o this_o nature_n have_v cost_v i_o this_o present_a service_n and_o you_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o punish_v i_o for_o one_o folly_n by_o engage_v i_o to_o commit_v another_o like_o the_o confessor_n that_o prescribe_v a_o drunkard_n the_o penance_n of_o be_v drink_v again_o however_o it_o be_v your_o lordship_n shall_v be_v obey_v and_o therein_o i_o hope_v to_o be_v enough_o excuse_v which_o be_v all_o i_o pretend_v to_o upon_o this_o occasion_n before_o i_o enter_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o trade_n which_o be_v more_o general_a and_o may_v be_v more_o last_a in_o this_o kingdom_n i_o will_v observe_v to_o your_o lordship_n some_o particular_a circumstance_n in_o the_o constitution_n and_o government_n which_o have_v be_v hitherto_o and_o may_v be_v long_o the_o great_a discourager_n of_o trade_n and_o riches_n here_o and_o some_o other_o in_o the_o present_a conjuncture_n which_o be_v absolute_o mortal_a to_o it_o that_o so_o you_o may_v not_o expect_v to_o find_v remedy_n where_o indeed_o there_o be_v none_o nor_o suffer_v man_n like_o busy_a ignorant_a physician_n to_o apply_v such_o as_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o disease_n because_o they_o can_v find_v such_o as_o be_v
