not_o able_a to_o go_v to_o the_o price_n be_v force_v to_o load_v their_o ship_n continual_o with_o english_a servant_n and_o if_o there_o be_v this_o penury_n of_o people_n with_o you_o it_o be_v

beyond_o sea_n do_v both_o native_n and_o foreigner_n pester_v you_o still_o at_o home_n and_o so_o encumber_v your_o street_n and_o your_o highway_n that_o a_o man_n of_o business_n can_v scarce_o pass_v without_o justle_a therefore_o it_o be_v time_n for_o you_o to_o quit_v this_o notion_n which_o you_o so_o many_o way_n slight_a in_o effect_n and_o contradict_v in_o practice_n and_o in_o our_o case_n be_v so_o singular_a unless_o you_o will_v affix_v your_o inhabitant_n like_o tree_n to_o the_o soil_n and_o lay_v as_o severe_a a_o injunction_n against_o your_o english_a man_n go_v

rather_o debar_v whether_o rich_a from_o plant_v manufacture_n or_o whether_o poor_a from_o labour_v it_o in_o ireland_n i_o know_v not_o that_o ever_o it_o enter_v into_o your_o mind_n to_o forbid_v your_o english_a the_o purchase_n of_o land_n among_o we_o and_o what_o reason_n be_v there_o great_a to_o hinder_v they_o from_o employ_v their_o money_n with_o we_o upon_o any_o other_o occasion_n to_o private_a and_o public_a advantage_n but_o what_o do_v i_o instance_n in_o land_n a_o thing_n the_o most_o improbable_a and_o to_o which_o as_o it_o stand_v with_o we_o the_o english_a can_v at_o
