they_o continue_v still_o at_o this_o present_a hour_n our_o holy_a holy_a brood_n of_o jesuit_n seminary_n friar_n and_o such_o other_o do_v perform_v strange_n thing_n but_o special_o for_o the_o

so_o i_o protest_v for_o the_o love_n that_o i_o bear_v to_o a_o number_n of_o my_o ireland_n friend_n i_o can_v wish_v they_o to_o be_v well_o aware_a of_o this_o holy_a brood_n of_o the_o pope_n cockerel_n the_o proverb_n be_v old_a and_o not_o so_o old_a as_o true_a that_o pigeon_n and_o priest_n do_v make_v foul_a house_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o many_o miracle_n and_o there_o be_v no_o place_n or_o country_n where_o popery_n be_v profess_v but_o they_o be_v full_a of_o miracle_n full_a vision_n and_o full_a of_o strange_a evente_n but_o the_o miracle_n of_o ireland_n they_o be_v more_o foolish_a more_o ridiculous_a more_o gross_a and_o more_o absurd_a than_o any_o other_o that_o i_o have_v either_o hear_v or_o read_v of_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o make_v relation_n of_o the_o miracle_n that_o have_v be_v wrought_v at_o the_o holy_a cross_n but_o especial_o at_o saint_n patrick_n purgatory_n and_o it_o be_v a_o piece_n of_o rhetoric_n sometime_o by_o seem_v to_o affect_v ignorance_n to_o set_v forth_o a_o subtlety_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v but_o read_v what_o master_n stanihurst_n himself_o have_v set_v down_o of_o that_o miraculous_a place_n of_o s._n patrick_n purgatory_n if_o he_o have_v be_v but_o a_o little_a touch_v with_o the_o tincture_n of_o wit_n will_v find_v out_o the_o very_a mystery_n of_o gross_a and_o palpable_a knavery_n and_o as_o ireland_n be_v full_a of_o strange_a miracle_n so_o i_o think_v there_o be_v more_o saint_n know_v in_o that_o country_n than_o ever_o be_v hear_v of_o in_o heaven_n or_o be_v ever_o register_v in_o the_o
