a_o opportunity_n of_o return_v the_o compliment_n we_o design_v they_o last_o year_n if_o we_o do_v prevent_v it_o by_o disband_v the_o army_n there_o as_o strafford_n army_n in_o ireland_n be_v former_o in_o the_o 15_o of_o charles_n the_o first_o and_o late_o another_o in_o 78_o by_o our_o english_a parliament_n i_o can_v avoid_v take_v notice_n here_o how_o different_a the_o modish_a sentiment_n be_v in_o ireland_n and_o england_n for_o there_o the_o language_n be_v we_o must_v comply_v with_o the_o court_n in_o keep_v up_o the_o army_n or_o otherwise_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n be_v go_v and_o here_o the_o man_n in_o fashion_n tell_v we_o that_o a_o army_n must_v be_v keep_v in_o ireland_n to_o destroy_v the_o woollen_a manufacture_n and_o execute_v the_o law_n we_o make_v against_o they_o and_o in_o order_n to_o it_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n be_v to_o pay_v they_o this_o project_n of_o send_v man_n to_o ireland_n be_v so_o transparent_a that_o they_o dare_v not_o rely_v upon_o it_o and_o therefore_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o as_o fast_o as_o money_n can_v be_v get_v they_o will_v disband_v more_o regiment_n the_o people_n be_v in_o great_a expectation_n when_o it_o will_v be_v do_v and_o several_a time_n it_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o in_o parliament_n and_o the_o courtier_n always_o assure_v they_o that_o nothing_o hinder_v it_o but_o the_o want_n of_o money_n to_o pay_v they_o off_o it_o be_v confident_o say_v in_o all_o public_a place_n that_o eighteen_o regiment_n more_o will_v be_v disband_v and_o the_o regiment_n be_v name_v and_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o with_o great_a assurance_n affirm_v by_o the_o agent_n and_o officer_n themselves_o that_o the_o king_n have_v sign_v it_o in_o council_n thus_o the_o session_n be_v wear_v out_o till_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o tire_v with_o expectation_n address_v his_o majesty_n that_o be_v will_v be_v please_v to_o give_v order_n that_o a_o listen_v be_v lay_v before_o the_o house_n of_o the_o army_n disband_v and_o intend_v to_o be_v disband_v and_o of_o the_o officer_n name_n who_o be_v to_o have_v half_o pay_v and_o his_o majesty_n be_v please_v to_o answer_v that_o he_o will_v comply_v with_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o house_n as_o soon_o as_o convenient_o be_v covid_v but_o the_o parliament_n sit_v not_o above_o a_o month_n afterward_o his_o majesty_n send_v they_o no_o far_o answer_v at_o last_o the_o parliament_n rise_v and_o instead_o of_o disband_v they_o bring_v over_o a_o great_a many_o foreign_a regiment_n and_o send_v they_o to_o ireland_n as_o well_o as_o three_o more_o english_a once_o but_o even_o all_o this_o will_v not_o bring_v their_o army_n in_o england_n down_o to_o ten_o thousand_o man_n so_o that_o they_o make_v another_o reform_v and_o since_o have_v incorporate_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o disband_v regiment_n in_o ireland_n into_o the_o stand_a troop_n by_o which_o mean_n they_o have_v not_o a_o army_n of_o officer_n whereas_o if_o these_o gentleman_n design_v their_o army_n to_o defend_v we_o against_o a_o sudden_a invasion_n or_o to_o be_v in_o readiness_n against_o the_o king_n of_o spain_n death_n in_o my_o poor_a opinion_n they_o shall_v have_v keep_v up_o the_o private_a soldier_n and_o disband_v all_o the_o officer_n but_o such_o as_o be_v just_o necessary_a to_o exercise_v they_o for_o officer_n will_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o accept_v good_a employment_n whereas_o the_o private_a soldier_n will_v be_v very_o difficult_o list_v again_o in_o a_o new_a war_n though_o we_o all_o know_v they_o be_v easy_o to_o be_v get_v together_o when_o they_o be_v only_o to_o insult_v their_o countryman_n one_o good_a effect_n of_o this_o army_n have_v already_o appear_v for_o i_o presume_v every_o body_n have_v hear_v how_o prevail_v a_o argument_n it_o be_v in_o the_o late_a election_n that_o if_o we_o choose_v such_o a_o man_n we_o shall_v be_v free_a from_o quarter_n and_o i_o wish_v this_o argument_n do_v not_o every_o day_n grow_v strong_a nay_o who_o know_v but_o in_o another_o reign_n the_o corporation_n may_v be_v tell_v that_o his_o majesty_n expect_v they_o will_v choose_v the_o officer_n of_o the_o army_n and_o the_o parliament_n be_v tell_v that_o he_o expect_v they_o will_v maintain_v they_o but_o to_o set_v this_o matter_n in_o a_o full_a view_n i_o will_v here_o put_v down_o the_o establishment_n of_o king_n charles_n the_o second_o in_o 88_o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o vote_n of_o the_o 11_o of_o december_n as_o also_o his_o present_a majesty_n and_o in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o my_o other_o computation_n i_o do_v not_o pretend_v but_o i_o may_v be_v mistake_v in_o many_o particular_n though_o i_o have_v take_v what_o care_n i_o can_v not_o to_o be_v so_o nor_o be_v it_o material_a to_o my_o purpose_n so_o the_o variation_n from_o truth_n be_v not_o considerable_a i_o shall_v also_o set_v down_o king_n william_n establishment_n as_o the_o regiment_n be_v before_o the_o reform_v because_o all_o the_o officer_n still_o remain_v and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o private_a soldier_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v in_o effect_n full_a regiment_n the_o rest_n be_v to_o be_v raise_v again_o in_o a_o few_o day_n if_o they_o be_v design_v for_o home_n service_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o hard_a to_o be_v
