what_o kind_n soever_o have_v be_v indulge_v and_o thus_o it_o have_v fare_v with_o some_o in_o ireland_n even_o at_o the_o time_n now_o treat_v of_o for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o protestant_a inhabitant_n as_o well_o as_o catholic_n who_o be_v force_v to_o subsist_v troop_n and_o pay_v tax_n and_o subsidy_n and_o likewise_o several_a protestant_n in_o post_n and_o station_n from_o the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a as_o privy-counsellor_n judge_n commissioner_n and_o other_o inferior_a officer_n of_o revenue_n and_o some_o even_o officer_n in_o the_o army_n and_o yet_o upon_o a_o charitable_a supposition_n that_o they_o act_v in_o those_o post_n and_o station_n in_o their_o own_o preservation_n and_o they_o have_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o can_v resort_v to_o his_o majesty_n for_o protection_n they_o be_v receive_v into_o grace_n and_o favour_n and_o no_o prosecution_n set_v up_o against_o they_o and_o it_o be_v a_o notorious_a truth_n that_o the_o catholic_n protectee_n

that_o the_o measure_n they_o have_v meet_v with_o shall_v be_v so_o very_o different_a i_o can_v not_o omit_v here_o to_o specify_v their_o majesty_n be_v royal_a declaration_n of_o the_o 22d_o of_o february_n 1688_o whereby_o a_o full_a and_o free_a enjoyment_n of_o their_o respective_a estate_n etc._n etc._n be_v gracious_o offer_v to_o all_o such_o as_o upon_o notice_n of_o his_o royal_a pleasure_n therein_o shall_v lay_v down_o their_o arm_n and_o retire_v to_o their_o respective_a place_n of_o abode_n it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o if_o these_o protectee_n have_v be_v actual_o in_o

declaration_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o as_o clear_v that_o such_o as_o never_o take_v up_o arm_n but_o continue_v in_o their_o before_o usual_a station_n and_o at_o their_o usual_a place_n of_o abide_v be_v comprehend_v within_o the_o scope_n and_o meaning_n of_o it_o for_o otherwise_o their_o have_n not_o be_v once_o in_o arm_n against_o the_o government_n be_v that_o which_o exclude_v they_o his_o majesty_n tender_v grace_n and_o clemency_n which_o must_v certain_o appear_v a_o harsh_a and_o absurd_a construction_n and_o it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o this_o declaration_n do_v not_o require_v their_o thus_o quit_v their_o arm_n and_o retire_v within_o any_o prefix_v time_n but_o upon_o notice_n and_o whoever_o consider_v the_o strictness_n and_o embargo_n then_o of_o each_o side_n use_v to_o shut_v out_o all_o intelligence_n must_v admit_v it_o very_o probable_a that_o few_o or_o none_o of_o those_o then_o reside_v in_o ireland_n have_v ever_o hear_v of_o this_o declaration_n till_o the_o time_n of_o the_o near_a approach_n of_o his_o majesty_n troop_n and_o than_o it_o be_v that_o these_o gentleman_n humble_o sue_v to_o be_v receive_v into_o

be_v ground_v upon_o the_o more_o last_a foundation_n of_o land_n and_o tenement_n if_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o so_o late_o as_o the_o very_a last_o vacation_n or_o near_o thereabouts_o a_o new_a
