i_o have_v likewise_o inquire_v into_o the_o precedent_n on_o one_o side_n and_o tother_o from_o act_n of_o parliament_n from_o record_n and_o from_o report_n of_o the_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n there_o remain_v another_o pretence_n or_o two_o for_o this_o subordination_n to_o be_v consider_v and_o one_o be_v found_v on_o purchase_n it_o be_v say_v that_o vast_a quantity_n of_o treasure_n that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n have_v be_v spend_v by_o england_n in_o reduce_v the_o rebellion_n and_o carry_v on_o the_o war_n of_o ireland_n have_v give_v they_o a_o just_a title_n at_o least_o to_o the_o land_n and_o inheritance_n of_o the_o rebel_n and_o to_o the_o absolute_a disposal_n thereof_o in_o their_o parliament_n and_o as_o particular_a example_n of_o this_o we_o be_v tell_v of_o the_o great_a sum_n advance_v by_o england_n for_o suppress_v the_o rebellion_n of_o the_o irish_a papist_n in_o 41._o and_o oppose_v the_o late_a rebellion_n since_o king_n william_n accession_n to_o

of_o war_n between_o two_o foreign_a enemy_n we_o be_v rather_o rebellion_n or_o intestine_a commotion_n that_o be_v the_o irish_a papist_n rise_v against_o the_o king_n and_o protestant_n of_o ireland_n and_o then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o if_o these_o latter_a by_o the_o assistance_n of_o their_o brethren_n of_o england_n and_o their_o purse_n do_v prove_v victorious_a the_o people_n of_o england_n ought_v to_o be_v full_o repay_v but_o then_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o payment_n and_o in_o what_o way_n it_o shall_v be_v levy_v aught_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n in_o parliament_n assemble_v and_o so_o it_o be_v after_o the_o rebellion_n of_o 41._o the_o adventurer_n than_o be_v at_o vast_a charge_n and_o there_o be_v several_a act_n of_o parliament_n in_o england_n make_v for_o their_o re-imbursing_a by_o dispose_v to_o they_o the_o rebel_n land_n but_o after_o all_o it_o be_v think_v reasonable_a that_o the_o parliament_n of_o ireland_n shall_v do_v this_o in_o their_o own_o way_n and_o therefore_o the_o act_n of_o settlement_n and_o explanation_n make_v all_o the_o former_a english_a act_n of_o no_o force_n or_o at_o

in_o supress_v this_o late_a rebellion_n all_o we_o desire_n be_v that_o in_o preservation_n of_o our_o own_o right_n and_o liberty_n we_o may_v do_v it_o in_o our_o own_o method_n regular_o in_o our_o own_o parliament_n and_o if_o the_o reimbursement_a be_v all_o that_o england_n stand_v upon_o what_o avail_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v do_v this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n so_o it_o be_v do_v we_o have_v a_o example_n of_o this_o in_o point_n between_o england_n and_o holland_n in_o the_o glorious_a revolution_n under_o his_o present_a majesty_n holland_n in_o assist_v england_n expend_v 600000_o pound_n and_o the_o english_a parliament_n fair_o repay_v they_o it_o will_v have_v look_v odd_o for_o holland_n to_o have_v insist_v on_o dispose_v of_o lord_n powis_n and_o other_o estate_n by_o their_o own_o law_n to_o re-imburse_a themselves_o it_o be_v a_o ungenerous_a thing_n to_o vilify_v good_a office_n i_o be_o far_o from_o do_v
