king_n on_o the_o way_n i_o will_v not_o restrain_v the_o fountain_n of_o our_o king_n mercy_n but_o if_o the_o stream_n be_v turn_v from_o his_o enclosure_n into_o the_o common_a i_o think_v we_o may_v complain_v of_o those_o avaritious_a hand_n that_o do_v it_o we_o have_v invincible_a evidence_n that_o his_o royal_a thought_n be_v for_o we_o in_o that_o he_o let_v we_o nay_o bid_v we_o speak_v and_o since_o we_o see_v his_o mercy_n like_o the_o divinity_n that_o guide_v he_o be_v over_o all_o his_o action_n his_o bleed_a subject_n that_o have_v suffer_v so_o much_o in_o the_o cause_n he_o own_v only_o pray_v they_o may_v not_o be_v exclude_v from_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n they_o desire_v not_o the_o property_n of_o their_o enemy_n but_o pray_v for_o their_o own_o not_o for_o loss_n in_o war_n which_o our_o pretend_a friend_n but_o secret_a enemy_n will_v insinuate_v but_o for_o robbery_n and_o outrage_n commit_v in_o time_n of_o peace_n and_o such_o as_o have_v their_o own_o government_n and_o king_n be_v able_a to_o assert_v but_o part_n of_o the_o law_n i_o very_o believe_v will_v have_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n be_v recover_v i_o have_v hear_v some_o bring_v his_o majesty_n proclamation_n of_o pardon_n in_o scotland_n as_o a_o argument_n against_o we_o i_o confess_v to_o i_o such_o instance_n especial_o from_o man_n of_o understanding_n only_o confirm_v the_o apprehension_n many_o have_v which_o be_v not_o my_o business_n here_o to_o mention_v this_o i_o will_v say_v in_o my_o inquiry_n i_o find_v it_o not_o in_o our_o minister_n of_o state_n but_o a_o small_a fry_n that_o hope_v to_o fat_v themselves_o in_o the_o trouble_a water_n of_o ireland_n they_o have_v hear_v the_o irish_a can_v bribe_v and_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o see_v the_o english_a treasure_n they_o have_v get_v take_v from_o they_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v leave_v to_o be_v offer_v at_o their_o altar_n but_o to_o return_v it_o seem_v easy_a to_o answer_v that_o of_o scotland_n which_o be_v in_o no_o point_n parallel_n with_o that_o of_o ireland_n they_o of_o scotland_n a_o few_o mislead_a people_n that_o run_v on_o under_o pretence_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o under_o their_o lord_n these_o of_o ireland_n have_v no_o such_o pretence_n for_o they_o be_v under_o their_o own_o government_n have_v no_o restraint_n in_o their_o religion_n they_o of_o scotland_n commit_v no_o murder_n or_o robbery_n at_o their_o first_o go_v out_o but_o be_v in_o their_o own_o defence_n they_o of_o ireland_n begin_v with_o both_o when_o no_o man_n oppose_v they_o they_o of_o scotland_n such_o as_o it_o be_v have_v a_o pretence_n at_o least_o persuade_v to_o it_o by_o their_o leader_n for_o king_n james_n and_o his_o commission_n but_o they_o of_o ireland_n have_v not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o when_o they_o commit_v their_o barbarity_n in_o ireland_n and_o to_o make_v they_o more_o evident_o notorious_a their_o own_o government_n make_v proclamation_n against_o it_o though_o no_o doubt_n their_o chief_a man_n set_v they_o under_o hand_n upon_o it_o though_o it_o be_v too_o savage_a and_o cruel_a to_o own_o but_o to_o end_v this_o argument_n relate_v to_o scotland_n they_o be_v of_o one_o nation_n and_o interest_n and_o his_o majesty_n be_v mercy_n when_o give_v to_o such_o may_v be_v say_v to_o extend_v to_o all_o for_o their_o religion_n friend_n and_o relation_n be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n universal_a among_o they_o and_o what_o those_o rebel_n do_v be_v under_o a_o pretend_a commission_n and_o may_v so_o be_v under_o the_o construction_n of_o war_n and_o then_o more_o proper_a for_o pardon_n but_o they_o of_o ireland_n not_o to_o enumerate_v particular_n be_v in_o every_o one_o of_o these_o circumstance_n foreign_a to_o the_o british_a protestant_n there_o i_o will_v now_o trouble_v you_o with_o the_o reason_n that_o be_v persuasive_a with_o one_o that_o this_o general_n and_o free_a pardon_n will_v not_o prevail_v to_o the_o end_n design_v that_o be_v for_o the_o speedy_a reduction_n of_o ireland_n we_o that_o know_v the_o genius_n of_o the_o irish_a be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o they_o be_v never_o prevail_v with_o by_o civility_n and_o indulgence_n they_o be_v like_o their_o bog_n never_o to_o be_v trust_v to_o by_o go_v gentle_o over_o nor_o safe_o but_o by_o cut_v your_o way_n to_o the_o bottom_n if_o you_o offer_v to_o they_o either_o in_o war_n or_o peace_n term_n of_o accommodation_n they_o think_v themselves_o of_o the_o strong_a side_n and_o will_v never_o submit_v i_o can_v give_v several_a instance_n in_o this_o present_a rebellion_n where_o gentleman_n have_v send_v to_o some_o of_o their_o grandee_n upon_o the_o assurance_n of_o former_a friendship_n and_o promise_n of_o return_v whatever_o kindness_n be_v show_v at_o this_o time_n but_o their_o return_n be_v nothing_o but_o insulting_n and_o command_v their_o horse_n away_o when_o in_o two_o or_o three_o day_n after_o upon_o a_o message_n from_o the_o same_o english_a gentleman_n threaten_v the_o irish_a don_n he_o have_v they_o send_v back_o i_o can_v see_v how_o it_o will_v affect_v they_o to_o the_o general_a lay_v down_o of_o arm_n but_o to_o the_o contrary_n encourage_v they_o in_o their_o rebellion_n for_o these_o reason_n first_o if_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n on_o our_o side_n to_o hasten_v the_o conquest_n for_o fear_v of_o the_o french_a assistance_n or_o our_o other_o imbroyl_n it_o be_v the_o same_o on_o they_o for_o encouragement_n to_o hold_v out_o in_o expectation_n of_o it_o the_o irish_a understanding_n and_o courage_n be_v observe_v to_o be_v by_o themselves_o understand_v and_o depend_v upon_o by_o negative_n the_o enemy_n say_v they_o be_v afraid_a of_o we_o therefore_o they_o know_v we_o be_v wise_a in_o council_n and_o strong_a in_o arm_n if_o not_o they_o will_v never_o offer_v we_o such_o term_n they_o have_v a_o proverb_n never_o bid_v first_o and_o they_o conclude_v he_o be_v in_o want_n that_o do_v the_o next_o ground_n for_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o give_a pardon_n to_o all_o that_o lay_v down_o arm_n etc._n etc._n will_v be_v a_o mean_n to_o enlarge_v the_o war._n for_o no_o doubt_n most_o of_o the_o man_n of_o estate_n will_v come_v in_o and_o be_v thereby_o the_o more_o serviceable_a to_o their_o party_n both_o as_o to_o give_v they_o advice_n and_o intelligence_n and_o also_o money_n which_o they_o may_v receive_v out_o of_o their_o estate_n in_o the_o english_a quarter_n and_o their_o friend_n of_o that_o in_o the_o irish_a it_o seem_v a_o great_a mistake_n to_o believe_v that_o by_o take_v away_o the_o man_n of_o estate_n from_o the_o irish_a will_v oblige_v the_o rest_n to_o lay_v down_o arm_n it_o will_v have_v the_o quite_o contrary_a effect_n and_o i_o very_o believe_v that_o the_o irish_a desire_n no_o better_o than_o to_o have_v they_o in_o the_o english_a quarter_n it_o make_v they_o considerable_a in_o the_o opinion_n of_o their_o own_o party_n that_o they_o shall_v be_v so_o court_v and_o give_v assurance_n to_o the_o common_a people_n that_o when_o the_o worst_a be_v upon_o they_o they_o have_v they_o to_o go_v to_o it_o may_v be_v think_v a_o maxim_n of_o war_n from_o the_o world_n of_o the_o moon_n that_o upon_o a_o rebellion_n the_o man_n of_o estate_n and_o leader_n into_o it_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v form_v a_o army_n and_o head_v they_o until_o they_o have_v get_v all_o the_o english_a estate_n shall_v then_o be_v invite_v to_o pardon_n and_o so_o wait_v not_o only_o the_o present_a success_n of_o this_o but_o for_o another_o rebellion_n and_o this_o have_v be_v too_o much_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o english_a conquest_n of_o ireland_n which_o prove_v so_o often_o fatal_a to_o the_o english_a it_o be_v wonderful_a the_o same_o measure_n shall_v be_v take_v again_o it_o real_o seem_v a_o licence_n for_o the_o irish_a to_o rebel_n thus_o to_o pardon_v they_o that_o be_v only_o able_a to_o call_v they_o to_o it_o the_o populace_n can_v never_o make_v a_o head_n but_o by_o the_o assistance_n of_o their_o grandee_n but_o when_o they_o be_v once_o in_o a_o body_n than_o they_o be_v better_o command_v without_o they_o and_o it_o be_v a_o favour_n to_o their_o common_a interest_n to_o receive_v they_o into_o protection_n and_o preservation_n against_o another_o attempt_n to_o i_o it_o seem_v more_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v the_o pardon_v the_o populace_n and_o exclude_v their_o commander_n will_v be_v a_o ready_a way_n to_o have_v the_o kingdom_n give_v up_o for_o though_o the_o irish_a head_n of_o clanns_n influence_n the_o common_a people_n whilst_o the_o land_n and_o herd_n follow_v they_o yet_o that_o cease_v when_o they_o be_v strip_v of_o both_o it_o be_v a_o true_a aphorism_n of_o the_o bell_n wether_n neagle_n in_o his_o letter_n from_o coventry_n that_o the_o native_n of_o ireland_n follow_v the_o lord_n you_o and_o i_o know_v it_o in_o our_o own_o experience_n how_o careless_a and_o unnatural_a the_o common_a irish_a of_o our_o province_n be_v to_o their_o old_a lord_n when_o they_o often_o refuse_v a_o day_n labour_v to_o they_o and_o however_o the_o common_a vogue_n run_v of_o the_o command_n of_o the_o old_a irish_a proprietor_n have_v over_o the_o scholague_n i_o never_o see_v it_o but_o where_o they_o have_v some_o immediate_a dependence_n upon_o they_o as_o under-tenant_n and_o it_o will_v be_v soon_o find_v in_o this_o case_n if_o the_o proclamation_n only_o extend_v to_o their_o private_a man_n or_o at_o lest_o none_o exceed_v the_o degree_n of_o a_o captain_n the_o ordinary_a people_n affect_v not_o travel_v no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o out_o of_o one_o province_n into_o another_o let_v they_o have_v but_o liberty_n to_o return_v to_o their_o own_o cabin_n and_o be_v protect_v there_o and_o they_o will_v account_v themselves_o happy_a i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o far_o with_o my_o thought_n on_o this_o matter_n only_o conclude_v with_o this_o that_o beside_o the_o mistake_n of_o bring_v the_o irish_a to_o lay_v down_o their_o arm_n by_o this_o general_a pardon_n this_o way_n will_v put_v a_o possibility_n in_o their_o hand_n if_o they_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n to_o assume_v the_o same_o rebellion_n again_o which_o god_n avert_v your_o
