murder_n and_o be_v they_o as_o numerous_a too_o as_o he_o will_v have_v they_o commit_v by_o a_o very_a few_o of_o the_o rude_a rabble_n among_o the_o irish_a be_v not_o only_o not_o unparallelled_a

those_o irish_a murder_n even_o quintessence_v into_o one_o have_v be_v unquestionable_o not_o so_o little_a heinous_a comparative_o as_o parallel_v but_o even_o as_o overparallele_v by_o that_o

wish_v from_o his_o very_a soul_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o no_o 93._o pag._n 93._o godliness_n may_v hinder_v and_o which_o he_o no_o less_o positive_o denounce_v than_o if_o he_o have_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o his_o power_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n decree_n or_o of_o all_o future_a contingency_n reveal_v to_o he_o but_o he_o be_v neither_o a_o prophet_n nor_o the_o son_n of_o a_o

the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n eternal_a or_o temporary_a pleasure_n concern_v my_o countryman_n more_o certain_o reveal_v to_o he_o than_o the_o prophet_n ionas_n have_v all_o of_o they_o together_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o ninivites_n and_o therefore_o notwithstanding_o this_o gentleman_n prediction_n here_o of_o or_o against_o the_o irish_a be_v so_o positive_a so_o absolute_a a_o assertion_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n justice_n to_o fall_v upon_o they_o hereafter_o viz._n in_o his_o conception_n and_o according_a to_o his_o affection_n the_o loss_n of_o all_o their_o land_n for_o
