the_o proposal_n for_o irish_a forfeiture_n consider_v with_o regard_n to_o law_n and_o good_a conscience_n the_o forfeiture_n of_o ireland_n be_v now_o propose_v as_o a_o security_n to_o raise_v a_o million_o of_o money_n on_o towards_z tste_v charge_n of_o the_o war_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o inquire_v more_o near_o into_o the_o value_n of_o the_o say_a forfeiture_n rather_o than_o depend_v altogether_o upon_o a_o notional_a calculation_n make_v by_o the_o proposer_n who_o content_v himself_o in_o frame_v his_o project_n with_o number_n of_o imaginary_a acre_n without_o any_o regard_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o forfeiture_n or_o the_o law_n establish_v for_o that_o a_o disappointment_n in_o a_o matter_n of_o this_o kind_n may_v prove_v of_o ill_a consequence_n to_o the_o public_a which_o he_o and_o his_o party_n do_v so_o much_o seem_v to_o consider_v as_o their_o own_o particular_a gain_n and_o the_o destruction_n of_o innocent_n widow_n and_o orphan_n who_o have_v suffer_v but_o too_o much_o already_o the_o proposer_n bring_v the_o people_n of_o ireland_n under_o two_o head_n that_o be_v to_o say_v english_z and_o irish_a the_o possession_n of_o the_o latter_a he_o will_v have_v entire_o forfeit_v and_o bring_v every_o estate_a roman_a catholic_n of_o that_o kingdom_n under_o that_o denomination_n and_o thence_o will_v he_o insinuate_v they_o to_o be_v different_a from_o the_o english_a in_o temper_n and_o interest_n nay_o that_o they_o have_v a_o innate_a prejudice_n and_o hatred_n to_o they_o thus_o by_o false_a and_o malicious_a suggestion_n will_v he_o carry_v on_o a_o design_n to_o strip_v and_o ruin_v a_o body_n of_o english_a people_n because_o of_o a_o different_a persuasion_n from_o himself_o for_o that_o the_o estate_a man_n of_o ireland_n to_o a_o very_a few_o be_v descend_v of_o ancient_a english_a family_n who_o at_o the_o expense_n of_o their_o blood_n first_o conquer_a that_o kingdom_n bring_v it_o under_o the_o subjection_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n and_o continue_v it_o so_o ever_o since_o the_o english_a who_o plant_n in_o america_n may_v with_o as_o much_o reason_n be_v call_v indian_n and_o for_o that_o alone_o have_v their_o fortune_n and_o estate_n take_v from_o they_o it_o be_v therefore_o hope_v that_o the_o wise_a and_o just_a senate_n the_o parliament_n of_o england_n will_v consider_v their_o countryman_n though_o in_o a_o distinct_a kingdom_n under_o their_o present_a unfortunate_a circumstance_n without_o any_o prepossession_n of_o prejudice_n and_o take_v their_o case_n just_o as_o '_o it_o be_v king_n james_n have_v go_v for_o ireland_n on_o the_o late_a revolution_n some_o of_o the_o catholic_n there_o be_v concern_v in_o his_o army_n and_o some_z not_o of_o those_o concern_v in_o the_o army_n some_o submit_v to_o the_o present_a government_n on_o article_n other_o choose_v to_o follow_v he_o these_o be_v entitle_v to_o no_o favour_n from_o that_o power_n to_o which_o they_o refuse_v to_o submit_v and_o of_o consequence_n their_o estate_n just_o to_o be_v forfeit_v but_o as_o to_o the_o article-man_n public_a faith_n ought_v to_o stand_v good_a beside_o he_o be_v their_o only_a know_a master_n and_o to_o who_o as_o their_o king_n they_o have_v promise_v faith_n and_o swear_a allegiance_n then_o let_v any_o impartial_a man_n make_v the_o case_n his_o own_o and_o serious_o examine_v if_o at_o the_o expense_n of_o his_o conscience_n he_o will_v refuse_v perform_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o subject_a to_o his_o sovereign_a when_o require_v to_o it_o must_v it_o not_o then_o necessary_o follow_v that_o they_o act_v but_o the_o part_n of_o subject_n or_o at_o least_o the_o proposer_n must_v maintain_v that_o the_o tie_n of_o faith_n and_o allegiance_n be_v of_o no_o force_n and_o may_v be_v break_v with_o their_o present_a majesty_n in_o case_n of_o a_o foreign_a invasion_n which_o be_v a_o doctrine_n no_o good_a subject_n will_v allow_v of_o these_o people_n have_v now_o submit_v on_o a_o solemn_a capitulation_n and_o be_v become_v subject_n be_v it_o not_o therefore_o reasonable_a they_o shall_v have_v the_o benefit_n of_o

this_o proposer_n heavy_a stroke_n but_o that_o they_o must_v likewise_o forfeit_v in_o fine_a so_o it_o be_v order_v that_o all_o the_o roman_a catholic_n of_o the_o kingdom_n that_o have_v any_o
