lord_n of_o ormond_n i_o deliver_v my_o letter_n of_o credit_n and_o in_o a_o day_n or_o two_o have_v my_o audience_n they_o seem_v to_o take_v it_o to_o heart_n and_o consult_v cardinal_n mazerine_n and_o the_o chief_a minister_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n affair_n be_v at_o that_o time_n so_o much_o in_o disorder_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o civil_a war_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v have_v this_o answer_n the_o king_n give_v i_o a_o letter_n to_o my_o lord_n deputy_n acknowledge_v his_o good_a service_n order_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v the_o best_a condition_n for_o himself_o and_o party_n that_o he_o can_v and_o expect_v a_o better_a season_n have_v thus_o discharge_v my_o commission_n i_o dismiss_v my_o frigate_n and_o with_o the_o king_n permission_n engage_v myself_o in_o the_o service_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o conde_n who_o be_v then_o join_v with_o the_o spaniard_n but_o first_o i_o send_v by_o a_o safe_a hand_n his_o majesty_n letter_n away_o to_o my_o good_a lord_n of_o clanrickard_n of_o who_o i_o have_v say_v so_o much_o already_o that_o i_o need_v add_v nothing_o but_o my_o own_o esteem_n for_o his_o worthy_a

to_o he_o and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v my_o story_n and_o you_o find_v by_o these_o memoir_n that_o no_o man_n can_v arrive_v to_o great_a trust_n and_o credit_n than_o i_o have_v among_o the_o irish_a though_o the_o war_n till_o the_o peace_n of_o forty_o six_o be_v almost_o national_a and_o then_o they_o make_v i_o what_o they_o can_v by_o name_v i_o to_o remain_v general_n of_o the_o horse_n of_o

which_o may_v let_v the_o reader_n know_v to_o what_o next_o god_n blessing_n i_o impute_v that_o esteem_n and_o fortune_n i_o have_v among_o the_o confederate_a catholic_n of_o ireland_n in_o my_o

at_o his_o return_n to_o tell_v i_o where_o he_o take_v '_o they_o then_o i_o issue_v my_o order_n to_o the_o commissioner_n to_o applot_v on_o the_o county_n or_o barony_n from_o whence_o the_o
