aristocratical_a fabric_n can_v seem_v to_o any_o impartial_a man_n but_o as_o empty_a a_o shadow_n and_o airy_a a_o dream_n as_o ever_o man_n fancy_n abuse_v itself_o withal_o the_o parliament_n say_v that_o the_o king_n power_n be_v fiduciary_a and_o not_o to_o be_v use_v against_o the_o kingdom_n but_o for_o it_o only_o the_o king_n hereupon_o demand_v may_v any_o thing_n be_v take_v from_o

not_o so_o general_a the_o thing_n there_o remain_v in_o the_o king_n trust_n for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v arm_n and_o by_o consequence_n of_o more_o danger_n than_o other_o kind_n of_o chattel_n and_o if_o i_o intrust_v my_o cloak_n to_o another_o custody_n i_o may_v not_o take_v it_o away_o again_o by_o force_n but_o if_o it_o be_v my_o sword_n and_o there_o be_v strong_a

there_o be_v as_o true_a and_o intimate_v a_o union_n betwixt_o they_o as_o betwixt_o england_n and_o wales_n and_o though_o by_o reason_n of_o remote_a situation_n they_o do_v not_o meet_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o parliament_n yet_o their_o parliament_n as_o to_o some_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o be_v hold_v several_a parliament_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o papist_n in_o ireland_n be_v strong_a and_o have_v more_o vote_n in_o parliament_n than_o the_o protestant_n yet_o they_o will_v want_v authority_n to_o overrule_v any_o thing_n vote_v and_o establish_v before_o in_o england_n for_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o minor_a part_n in_o all_o suffrage_n subscribe_v to_o the_o major_n be_v that_o blood_n may_v not_o be_v shed_v for_o in_o probability_n the_o major_a part_n will_v prevail_v and_o else_o strife_n and_o bloodshed_n will_v be_v endless_a wherefore_o the_o major_a part_n in_o ireland_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n ought_v to_o sit_v down_o and_o acquiesce_v because_o ireland_n be_v not_o a_o several_a monarchy_n from_o england_n nor_o be_v that_o a_o major_a part_n of_o ireland_n and_o england_n too_o for_o if_o it_o be_v it_o will_v give_v law_n to_o we_o as_o we_o now_o give_v law_n there_o and_o their_o statute_n will_v be_v of_o as_o much_o virtue_n here_o as_o we_o be_v there_o the_o parliament_n in_o case_n of_o extreme_a danger_n challenge_v a_o

divest_v and_o disable_v the_o king_n and_o if_o the_o king_n say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o better_a opinion_n of_o such_o a_o substitute_n then_o of_o a_o other_o though_o the_o parliament_n
