near_o as_o dear_a your_o three_o and_o four_o observation_n be_v so_o apparent_o false_a that_o one_o word_n will_v answer_v they_o both_o you_o say_v you_o have_v be_v twice_o in_o ireland_n but_o beside_o yourself_o i_o may_v venture_v to_o say_v there_o be_v never_o any_o man_n in_o it_o but_o can_v tell_v you_o there_o be_v not_o timber_n to_o supply_v the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o kingdom_n i_o have_v see_v a_o survey_n of_o all_o the_o wood_n in_o that_o island_n and_o except_o shellela_n there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o valuable_a timber_n in_o the_o whole_a as_o

you_o be_v right_a but_o as_o for_o the_o multitude_n of_o irish_a spinner_n you_o be_v in_o a_o error_n they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v our_o rival_n in_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n that_o this_o last_o year_n they_o can_v not_o get_v so_o much_o in_o all_o the_o country_n as_o to_o clothe_v their_o small_a army_n but_o however_o i_o think_v we_o have_v reason_n to_o look_v careful_o into_o that_o manufacture_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o all_o we_o have_v leave_v of_o trade_n and_o yet_o i_o see_v advocates_n for_o the_o east-india_n trade_n to_o the_o destruction_n of_o our_o

in_o you_o to_o talk_v of_o the_o constitution_n of_o kingdom_n you_o know_v nothing_o of_o if_o you_o have_v read_v you_o must_v know_v there_o be_v a_o compact_a that_o they_o shall_v hold_v

in_o ireland_n i_o believe_v you_o will_v own_o we_o have_v parliament_n in_o england_n before_o henry_n vii_o they_o have_v then_o the_o same_o right_n to_o hold_v parliament_n that_o we_o have_v

it_o you_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n you_o will_v not_o be_v against_o ireland_n hold_v parliament_n have_v a_o care_n sir_n of_o break_v into_o constitution_n we_o know_v not_o who_o may_v come_v

the_o master_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o abhorrence_n of_o all_o good_a man_n to_o see_v people_n in_o civil_a employment_n ready_a to_o burst_v with_o unrighteous_a gain_n and_o the_o industrious_a

no_o man_n in_o the_o three_o kingdom_n that_o venture_v their_o life_n more_o brave_o against_o it_o than_o they_o do_v and_o to_o they_o i_o think_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n we_o owe_v our_o
