at_o a_o juncto_fw-la of_o council_n the_o five_o and_o twenty_o of_o january_n 1688._o my_o lord_n the_o warmth_n and_o flame_n of_o this_o debate_n kindle_v by_o the_o subject_a matter_n thereof_o have_v proceed_v so_o far_o as_o to_o incense_v we_o so_o much_o among_o ourselves_o into_o passion_n and_o i_o hope_v that_o those_o flame_n will_v never_o reach_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o this_o noble_a city_n and_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o circumstance_n wherein_o we_o be_v it_o be_v adviseable_a to_o burn_v this_o city_n the_o matter_n in_o debate_n be_v of_o great_a weight_n and_o as_o i_o conceive_v of_o as_o equal_a concernment_n to_o the_o roman_a catholic_n as_o to_o the_o english_a protestant_n interest_v and_o reside_v therein_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v consider_v the_o freehold_a good_n and_o chattel_n belong_v to_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o you_o shall_v not_o find_v any_o great_a difference_n in_o the_o value_n why_o therefore_o shall_v we_o destroy_v those_o who_o we_o effect_v and_o be_v bind_v to_o preserve_v together_o which_o those_o who_o we_o think_v fit_a to_o punish_v for_o we_o know_v that_o in_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o general_a conflagration_n the_o interest_n of_o one_o and_o the_o other_o can_v be_v distinguish_v in_o the_o next_o place_v it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v how_o far_o the_o whole_a country_n and_o foreigner_n may_v be_v concern_v in_o so_o vast_a a_o distraction_n consider_v how_o much_o the_o country_n will_v be_v impoverish_v by_o destroy_v their_o great_a commerce_n with_o the_o city_n and_o whether_o land_n in_o the_o country_n will_v continue_v in_o the_o half_a value_n they_o now_o bear_v shall_v they_o be_v deprive_v of_o vent_v their_o corn_n cattle_n and_o other_o their_o commodity_n in_o this_o city_n consider_v furthermore_o that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n hithertofore_o observe_v in_o the_o prosecution_n of_o war_n nothing_o can_v prove_v more_o dangerous_a than_o for_o the_o over_o master_v party_n or_o at_o least_o fear_v to_o be_v such_o what_o can_v be_v reason_n to_o burn_v so_o famous_a so_o great_a so_o opulent_a a_o city_n as_o we_o be_v now_o possess_v of_o if_o we_o be_v or_o shall_v soon_o be_v upon_o the_o access_n of_o english_a force_n or_o burn_v of_o this_o city_n will_v prove_v a_o example_n to_o they_o at_o who_o mercy_n we_o shall_v lie_v to_o prosecute_v the_o whole_a country_n with_o fire_n and_o sword_n and_o than_o it_o will_v be_v know_v that_o our_o party_n though_o not_o so_o much_o concern_v in_o the_o freehold_a of_o ireland_n be_v great_a master_n of_o corn_n both_o in_o field_n and_o haggard_n which_o they_o upon_o so_o great_a provocation_n will_v set_v on_o fire_n whereas_o now_o they_o have_v no_o design_n to_o destroy_v the_o country_n or_o the_o inhabitant_n thereof_o they_o intend_v no_o more_o than_o to_o deliver_v the_o english_a protestant_n from_o the_o the_o terror_n of_o a_o new_a raise_v army_n of_o the_o irish_a and_o the_o settle_n of_o they_o in_o safety_n so_o that_o unless_o we_o shall_v begin_v act_n of_o hostility_n such_o as_o the_o burn_a of_o dublin_n will_v be_v the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o country_n and_o city_n inhabitant_n thereof_o and_o even_o the_o common_a soldier_n lay_v down_o their_o arm_n may_v follow_v their_o former_a calling_n without_o be_v further_o question_v leave_v the_o land_a officer_n of_o the_o new_a raise_a irish_a force_n whereby_o the_o english_a have_v so_o much_o be_v terrify_v together_o with_o the_o

can_v forget_v that_o the_o burn_a of_o house_n be_v treason_n by_o the_o law_n of_o ireland_n how_o great_a a_o treason_n therefore_o will_v it_o be_v to_o burn_v this_o famous_a city_n if_o a_o war_n be_v so_o severe_o prosecute_v against_o we_o as_o by_o force_n to_o drive_v all_o the_o inhabitant_n out_o of_o this_o kingdom_n leave_v no_o hope_n ever_o for_o we_o to_o return_v again_o it_o may_v then_o seem_v perhaps_o reasonable_a to_o destroy_v the_o country_n and_o city_n but_o no_o hostile_a act_n be_v intend_v to_o the_o disquiet_n of_o the_o nation_n the_o whole_a scope_n of_o the_o power_n of_o england_n be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o give_v vigour_n to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o exercise_n thereof_o why_o shall_v we_o burn_v dublin_n engage_v ourselves_o and_o the_o whole_a nation_n in_o a_o war_n and_o thereby_o bring_v misery_n to_o ourselves_o and_o the_o whole_a nation_n under_o pretence_n of_o do_v that_o which_o we_o be_v no_o way_n able_a to_o
