we_o they_o seem_v at_o the_o utmost_a reach_n to_o extend_v the_o jurisdiction_n of_o the_o english_a parliament_n over_o the_o subject_n of_o ireland_n only_o in_o relation_n to_o their_o action_n beyond_o sea_n out_o of_o the_o realm_n of_o ireland_n as_o they_o be_v the_o king_n of_o england_n subject_n but_o even_o this_o will_v appear_v unreasonable_a when_o we_o consider_v that_o by_o the_o same_o argumentation_n scotland_n itself_o may_v be_v bind_v by_o english_a law_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o foreign_a trade_n as_o they_o be_v the_o king_n of_o england_n subject_n the_o question_n be_v whether_o england_n and_o ireland_n be_v two_o distinct_a kingdom_n and_o whether_o they_o have_v each_o their_o respective_a parliament_n neither_o of_o which_o will_v be_v deny_v

in_o any_o thing_n if_o be_v the_o king_n of_o england_n subject_n be_v a_o reason_n why_o we_o ought_v to_o submit_v to_o law_n in_o relation_n to_o our_o trade_n abroad_o in_o place_n where_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n have_v no_o jurisdiction_n which_o have_v not_o receive_v our_o assent_n the_o people_n of_o england_n will_v consider_v whether_o they_o also_o be_v not_o the_o king_n subject_n and_o may_v therefore_o by_o this_o way_n of_o reason_v be_v bind_v by_o law_n which_o the_o king_n may_v assign_v they_o without_o their_o assent_n in_o relation_n to_o their_o action_n abroad_o or_o foreign_a trade_n or_o whether_o they_o have_v not_o be_v subject_n to_o the_o king_n of_o france_n have_v our_o king_n continue_v their_o possession_n of_o that_o country_n and_o there_o keep_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o monarchy_n and_o then_o have_v france_n be_v strong_a than_o england_n it_o may_v seem_v that_o the_o subject_n of_o these_o kingdom_n may_v have_v be_v bind_v by_o law_n make_v at_o paris_n without_o their_o own_o consent_n but_o let_v this_o doctrine_n never_o be_v mention_v among_o the_o freeborn_a subject_n of_o these_o nation_n thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o three_o principal_a instance_n that_o be_v usual_o bring_v against_o we_o on_o the_o stress_n that_o be_v lay_v on_o english_a act_n of_o parliament_n particular_o name_v ireland_n

for_o we_o for_o it_o manifest_o show_v that_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n of_o england_n will_v not_o enact_v law_n to_o bind_v ireland_n without_o the_o concurrence_n of_o the_o representative_n of_o this_o kingdom_n former_o when_o ireland_n be_v but_o thin_o people_v and_o the_o english_a law_n not_o full_o currant_n in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o then_o they_o can_v not_o frequent_o assemble_v with_o conveniency_n or_o safety_n to_o make_v law_n in_o their_o own_o parliament_n at_o home_n and_o therefore_o during_o the_o heat_n of_o rebellion_n

introductory_n of_o a_o new_a law_n that_o interfere_v with_o the_o right_n which_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n have_v to_o make_v law_n for_o themselves_o except_o only_o those_o which_o we_o

since_o that_o in_o king_n charles_n ii_o and_o again_o very_o late_o in_o king_n william_n reign_n some_o law_n have_v be_v make_v in_o england_n to_o be_v of_o force_n in_o ireland_n but_o how_o this_o come_v to_o pass_v we_o shall_v now_o inquire_v in_o the_o 17_o year_n of_o k._n charles_n i._n 1641._o which_o be_v in_o the_o year_n 1642._o there_o be_v three_o or_o four_o act_n of_o

by_o the_o act_n of_o settlement_n and_o explanation_n and_o indeed_o there_o be_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o and_o that_o act_v make_v in_o a_o kingdom_n by_o the_o legal_a representative_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v take_v place_n of_o those_o make_v in_o another_o kingdom_n but_o however_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o by_o those_o act_n it_o be_v

what_o be_v do_v for_o ireland_n time_n in_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n in_o cromwel_n time_n beside_o the_o confusion_n and_o irregularity_n of_o all_o proceed_v in_o those_o day_n which_o
