treasure_n but_o now_o to_o reap_v the_o full_a benefit_n of_o all_o their_o former_a cost_v be_v better_a than_o to_o have_v ireland_n a_o useless_a limb_n chargeable_a and_o hazard_v the_o health_n

the_o better_a in_o have_v so_o many_o the_o more_o englishman_n especial_o when_o the_o intend_a barack_n be_v make_v among_o we_o but_o suppose_v the_o worst_a that_o this_o project_n to_o put_v

will_v be_v that_o the_o scot_n will_v succeed_v in_o our_o room_n now_o pray_v what_o better_a security_n can_v england_n have_v that_o those_o industrious_a and_o hardy_a people_n will_v make_v

their_o common_a and_o national_a advantage_n without_o leave_n from_o mr._n c_o y_o and_o some_o other_o of_o the_o west_n of_o england_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n of_o they_o for_o though_o mr._n c_o y_o can_v bridle_n nor_o saddle_n much_o less_o ride_v they_o in_o scotland_n yet_o if_o he_o catch_v they_o on_o irish_a ground_n he_o will_v tie_v they_o to_o rack_n staff_n and_o

sine_fw-la for_o practice_n then_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o england_n have_v even_o as_o good_a foster_n and_o cherish_v she_o own_o legitimate_a issue_n as_o to_o adopt_v those_o of_o other_o
