that_o no_o grant_v ever_o do_v or_o can_v make_v ireland_n a_o absolute_a distinct_a separate_a kingdom_n and_o whole_o independent_a of_o england_n or_o invest_v it_o with_o such_o a_o supreme_a

of_o the_o act_n be_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o king_n our_o most_o gracious_a sovereign_a lord_n and_o his_o grace_n most_o noble_a progenitor_n king_n of_o england_n have_v be_v lord_n of_o this_o

at_o this_o day_n have_v be_v gain_v or_o extort_a from_o the_o ancient_a authority_n or_o just_a prerogative_n of_o the_o crown_n but_o that_o they_o be_v due_a to_o we_o from_o the_o first_o

ask_v their_o consent_n and_o be_v it_o not_o plain_a from_o this_o that_o king_n henry_n himself_o do_v never_o esteem_v the_o submission_n of_o the_o irish_a to_o have_v be_v make_v to_o he_o in_o

thus_o we_o see_v that_o how_o great_a soever_o that_o jurisdiction_n be_v which_o the_o king_n in_o parliament_n grant_v to_o his_o son_n john_n he_o yet_o remain_v no_o more_o than_o a_o subject_a

by_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o word_n as_o if_o he_o have_v cite_v it_o by_o head_n not_o transcribe_v it_o out_o of_o the_o book_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n not_o unusual_a nor_o to_o be_v

by_o say_v that_o though_o ireland_n be_v a_o distinct_a dominion_n from_o england_n yet_o the_o title_n thereof_o be_v by_o conquest_n the_o same_o by_o judgement_n of_o law_n may_v by_o express_a

but_o he_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o lord_n cook_n mean_v by_o judgement_n of_o law_n whether_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n or_o nation_n or_o the_o civil_a law_n of_o our_o

whole_o to_o the_o study_n of_o the_o common_a law_n of_o england_n 119._o that_o he_o do_v not_o much_o inquire_v into_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n else_o sure_o he_o can_v not_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o so_o erroneous_a a_o slip._n nay_o this_o assertion_n of_o he_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o the_o case_n he_o cite_v 120._o for_o that_o very_a act_n of_o parliament_n on_o which_o the_o judge_n debate_v and_o which_o they_o deem_v not_o to_o be_v of_o force_n in_o ireland_n do_v particular_o name_n ireland_n so_o that_o here_o again_o lord_n

she_o so_o just_a a_o title_n to_o all_o that_o supreme_a authority_n which_o she_o pretend_v to_o hold_v over_o ireland_n as_o that_o by_o judgement_n or_o in_o reason_n of_o law_n her_o parliament_n may_v bind_v ireland_n if_o name_v in_o the_o law_n and_o that_o she_o be_v warrant_v therein_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n reason_n and_o nation_n the_o civil_a law_n of_o particular_a

pass_v upon_o so_o venerable_a a_o person_n as_o the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n cook_n that_o he_o must_v be_v very_o little_o acquaint_v with_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n shall_v methinks_v but_o ill_o become_v a_o writer_n so_o little_o know_v in_o the_o world_n as_o mr._n molyneux_n especial_o when_o in_o this_o first_o essay_n of_o his_o he_o have_v discover_v much_o more_o
