the_o spring_n will_v invite_v many_o over_o thither_o only_o i_o wish_v the_o english_a a_o good_a magazine_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o they_o will_v attend_v two_o thing_n in_o the_o irish_a war_n beside_o viz._n not_o to_o spend_v time_n about_o castle_n and_o fort_n but_o to_o become_v master_n of_o the_o field_n and_o second_o to_o burn_v up_o the_o enemy_n provision_n everywhere_o the_o wild_a irish_a and_o the_o indian_a do_v not_o much_o differ_v and_o therefore_o will_v be_v handle_v alike_o yet_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o a_o more_o excellent_a way_n in_o the_o mean_a if_o these_o faithful_a commander_n be_v in_o garrison_n without_o any_o design_n be_v it_o speak_v you_o have_v always_o a_o army_n ready_a the_o private_a soldier_n will_v still_o run_v to_o his_o honest_a and_o well-known_a commander_n yea_o so_o firm_a they_o be_v that_o if_o their_o officer_n shall_v be_v change_v i_o believe_v those_o soldier_n must_v be_v press_v to_o stay_v with_o other_o brief_o this_o i_o say_v to_o your_o question_n that_o this_o army_n be_v hardly_o get_v and_o i_o wish_v it_o may_v be_v as_o hardly_o disband_v if_o you_o have_v no_o present_a employment_n be_v i_o persuade_v that_o foreign_a threaten_n be_v in_o earnest_n i_o wish_v this_o army_n may_v be_v send_v to_o encounter_v they_o and_o teach_v peasant_n to_o understand_v liberty_n and_o i_o will_v not_o doubt_v but_o to_o see_v good_a fruit_n of_o it_o soon_o i_o will_v rather_o our_o man_n shall_v live_v upon_o their_o wine_n than_o they_o upon_o our_o beer_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a interest_n of_o this_o state_n to_o keep_v war_n at_o distance_n fear_v not_o that_o army_n who_o commander_n like_o samuel_n can_v ask_v any_o county_n or_o town_n where_o they_o have_v be_v who_o ox_n or_o ass_n they_o have_v take_v never_o few_o complaint_n not_o many_o man_n of_o such_o quality_n who_o design_n be_v only_o to_o obey_v their_o master_n viz._n the_o parliament_n the_o slight_v the_o army_n be_v their_o money_n triumphant_a chariot_n will_v have_v break_v our_o neck_n four_o whereas_o you_o desire_v some_o expedient_a to_o the_o difference_n i_o assure_v you_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n and_o the_o lord_n walk_v in_o the_o cloud_n towards_o we_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n we_o walk_v in_o the_o dark_a among_o ourselves_o and_o true_o it_o wound_n my_o soul_n when_o i_o think_v ireland_n will_v perish_v and_o england_n continue_v her_o misery_n through_o the_o disagreement_n of_o ten_o or_o 20._o learned_a man_n but_o if_o you_o will_v pardon_v and_o
