think_v the_o law_n at_o least_o unkind_a that_o it_o seem_v hard_a that_o a_o english_a man_n because_o he_o go_v to_o inhabit_v in_o ireland_n or_o be_v send_v thither_o to_o help_v to_o secure_v

to_o omit_v and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o if_o these_o restraint_n be_v intend_v to_o compel_v they_o to_o take_v off_o more_o commodity_n from_o england_n or_o that_o they_o shall_v trade_n only_o

it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n to_o enlarge_v their_o trade_n with_o england_n for_o shall_v they_o buy_v more_o of_o england_n than_o they_o do_v and_o have_v do_v for_o

and_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o use_n beforementioned_a but_o see_v england_n have_v not_o only_o shut_v but_o fast_o lock_v this_o door_n also_o against_o they_o they_o must_v now_o though_o with_o

about_o 1662._o it_o be_v probable_a that_o that_o will_v direct_v or_o help_v we_o to_o find_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o their_o abatement_n to_o go_v no_o further_a back_n than_o the_o reign_n of_o
