woollen_a manufacture_n be_v the_o ancient_a staple_n of_o england_n and_o a_o main_a support_n to_o their_o trade_n into_o all_o foreign_a country_n if_o it_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o ireland_n be_v alienate_v from_o it_o which_o abound_v with_o that_o commodity_n and_o from_o whence_o it_o may_v be_v export_v at_o far_o cheap_a rate_n than_o can_v be_v afford_v in_o england_n how_o unspeakable_a a_o prejudice_n will_v it_o be_v to_o the_o trade_n how_o will_v it_o impoverish_v the_o people_n and_o bring_v a_o unavoidable_a ruin_n on_o many_o town_n and_o family_n 5._o though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o the_o power_n of_o france_n with_o the_o addition_n of_o ireland_n shall_v never_o be_v able_a to_o make_v a_o conquest_n of_o england_n nevertheless_o by_o such_o a_o unwelcome_a neighbourhood_n it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a the_o french_a king_n may_v discompose_v the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o great_a britain_n when_o at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o year_n he_o can_v transport_v a_o army_n from_o ireland_n or_o land_n small_a force_n in_o north_n wales_n in_o six_o hour_n time_n in_o south-wales_n in_o twelve_o or_o in_o the_o space_n of_o

i_o wish_v the_o people_n of_o england_n may_v see_v now_o in_o this_o their_o day_n what_o belong_v to_o their_o peace_n before_o it_o be_v hide_v from_o their_o eye_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v

if_o the_o enemy_n chance_v to_o possess_v the_o outwork_n the_o city_n will_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v abuse_v by_o chimerical_a notion_n of_o obey_v without_o
