the_o money_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v already_o send_v to_o france_n by_o the_o late_a king_n and_o brass_n farthing_n leave_v as_o half-crown_n in_o the_o room_n of_o the_o silver_n so_o that_o

the_o air_n and_o bring_v the_o plague_n the_o irish_a scarce_o cover_v their_o dead_a with_o earth_n some_o objection_n i_o make_v to_o these_o despond_v conjecture_n which_o be_v chief_o two_o first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v imagine_v but_o the_o irish_a will_v keep_v some_o silver-money_n and_o that_o in_o rob_v the_o english_a they_o must_v get_v some_o to_o this_o i_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o irish_a be_v seldom_o master_n of_o money_n their_o treasure_n be_v cattle_n that_o the_o course_n the_o late_a king_n take_v be_v invincible_a to_o draw_v out_o every_o penny_n of_o silver_n they_o have_v for_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o proclaim_v his_o brass_n coin_n to_o pay_v his_o army_n and_o to_o pass_v betwixt_o man_n and_o man_n it_o be_v provide_v that_o all_o his_o revenue_n as_o quitrent_n hearth-money_n excise_n custom_n etc._n etc._n shall_v be_v pay_v in_o silver_n so_o that_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v a_o penny_n among_o they_o it_o come_v into_o the_o treasury_n for_o their_o have_a money_n of_o the_o english_n or_o plate_n i_o find_v they_o be_v so_o ingenious_a most_o of_o they_o as_o to_o confess_v they_o believe_v the_o english_a leave_v little_a money_n or_o plate_n behind_o they_o my_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o though_o there_o be_v no_o trade_n yet_o in_o such_o a_o fertile_a country_n it_o be_v easy_a for_o the_o irish_a to_o get_v root_n herb_n milk_n flesh_n and_o their_o great_a food_n potato_n which_o we_o see_v here_o in_o england_n after_o once_o set_v be_v never_o to_o be_v get_v out_o of_o the_o ground_n so_o that_o of_o they_o they_o can_v never_o want_v to_o all_o which_o i_o be_v answer_v that_o the_o irish_a for_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o english_a will_v not_o be_v admit_v nor_o be_v able_a to_o do_v any_o of_o these_o be_v great_a stranger_n to_o garden-stuff_n nor_o be_v there_o garden-seed_n in_o the_o kingdom_n the_o english_a always_o fetch_v they_o from_o england_n

because_o there_o be_v no_o term_n for_o any_o guilty_a of_o murder_n of_o which_o most_o of_o they_o that_o stay_v out_o tory_n be_v in_o cromwel_n government_n they_o be_v so_o hunt_v and_o the_o irish_a that_o be_v under_o protection_n so_o punish_v for_o any_o robbery_n they_o commit_v in_o the_o parish_n where_o it_o be_v do_v that_o they_o be_v soon_o destroy_v but_o upon_o every_o alteration_n in_o england_n some_o run_v out_o as_o if_o they_o be_v immediate_o to_o recover_v the_o kingdom_n and_o so_o they_o do_v upon_o king_n charles_n the_o second_v restauration_n expect_v as_o they_o then_o give_v out_o to_o be_v restore_v the_o soon_o for_o be_v find_v in_o their_o defence_n against_o the_o english_a who_o they_o then_o hope_v will_v be_v judge_v the_o great_a rebel_n

call_v colonel_n poor_a with_o many_o other_o in_o all_o part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n who_o keep_v the_o english_a in_o continual_a action_n and_o to_o i_o seem_v a_o reason_n for_o make_v they_o

for_o trade_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o merchant_n in_o all_o my_o enquiry_n i_o can_v find_v one_o that_o may_v bear_v the_o character_n of_o a_o complete_a merchant_n they_o tell_v i_o there_o be_v

like_o our_o planter_n in_o the_o west-indies_n and_o this_o be_v to_o i_o the_o reason_n why_o ireland_n be_v so_o contemptible_a in_o its_o trade_n that_o may_v otherwise_o be_v the_o most_o
