A74937	The interest of England in the Irish transplantation, stated wherein is held forth (to all concerned in Irelands good settlement) the benefits the Irish transplantation will bring to each of them in particular, and to the Common-wealth in general, being chiefly intended as an answer to a scandalous, seditious pamphlet, entituled, The great case of transplantation in Ireland discussed. Composed and published at the request of several persons in eminent place in Ireland, to the end all who desire it, might have a true account of the proceedings that have been there in the business of transplantation, both as to the rise, progress, and end thereof. By a faithfull servant of the Common-wealth, Richard Laurence.	Lawrence, Richard, d. 1684.	1655 (1655)	Wing L678; Thomason E829_17; ESTC R179375	23,297	35

english_a inhabit_v in_o that_o nation_n shall_v live_v together_o in_o distinct_a plantation_n or_o colony_n separate_v from_o the_o irish_a and_o so_o far_o as_o the_o natural_a advantage_n of_o the_o country_n or_o their_o own_o ability_n will_v afford_v it_o to_o maintain_v frontier_n garrison_n upon_o line_n or_o pass_n for_o the_o security_n of_o every_o plantation_n and_o to_o admit_v no_o more_o irish_a papist_n that_o they_o have_v not_o eminent_a ground_n to_o believe_v be_v or_o will_v be_v faithful_a to_o the_o english_a interest_n to_o live_v within_o they_o than_o what_o they_o may_v

of_o they_o can_v do_v beside_o a_o hazardous_a chargeable_a and_o troublesome_a voyage_n by_o sea_n to_o which_o be_v add_v those_o difficulty_n that_o attend_v stranger_n in_o a_o strange_a country_n more_o than_o what_o do_v a_o people_n in_o their_o own_o native_a land_n and_o yet_o i_o hope_v we_o have_v sufficient_a experience_n and_o some_o thousand_o of_o live_a witness_n that_o it_o be_v consistent_a with_o their_o be_v and_o well-being_n to_o and_o have_v prove_v to_o many_o if_o not_o to_o most_o for_o their_o much_o better_o be_v though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v suppose_v that_o such_o english_a as_o dwell_v on_o the_o north-west_n side_n of_o the_o river_n of_o thames_n though_o many_o mile_n distant_a from_o it_o will_v judge_n it_o a_o far_o less_o difficulty_n to_o remove_v their_o habitation_n into_o surrey_n or_o kent_n than_o it_o be_v to_o remove_v from_o england_n to_o ireland_n though_o the_o late_a be_v very_o possible_a and_o practicable_a as_o be_v before_o mind_v yet_o the_o former_a be_v as_o much_o as_o the_o irish_a transplantation_n extend_v unto_o nay_o we_o may_v bring_v for_o a_o instance_n to_o prove_v the_o possibility_n of_o the_o

in_o be_v and_o well-being_n too_o through_o god_n mercy_n and_o therefore_o i_o argue_v it_o be_v no_o such_o impossible_a thing_n as_o the_o discussor_n will_v seem_v to_o make_v it_o to_o transplant_v the_o irish_a but_o it_o may_v be_v do_v with_o much_o consistency_n to_o their_o being_n and_o well-being_n if_o themselves_o be_v not_o accessary_a to_o the_o contrary_n beside_o if_o

and_o it_o be_v my_o judgement_n it_o will_v not_o be_v safe_a to_o admit_v in_o any_o english_a plantation_n above_o the_o five_o part_n to_o be_v irish_a papist_n either_o in_o the_o capacity_n of_o

yet_o in_o the_o work_n of_o surprizing_n and_o unexpected_a assault_n and_o inroad_n upon_o the_o english_a the_o irish_a have_v be_v usual_o more_o expert_a and_o vigilant_a for_o the_o irish_a be_v

most_o general_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o nobleman_n and_o chief_a gentry_n who_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n except_v person_n for_o life_n and_o estate_n or_o under_o banishment_n by_o the_o

to_o the_o number_n doubtless_o if_o any_o at_o all_o it_o be_v not_o rational_a to_o think_v of_o less_o than_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o person_n will_v amount_v unto_o but_o second_o as_o to_o
