A77352	A discourse concerning Ireland and the different interests thereof, in answer to the Exon and Barnstaple petitions shewing, that if a law were enacted to prevent the exportation of woollen-manufactures from Ireland to foreign parts, what the consequences thereof would be both to England and Ireland.	Brewster, Francis, Sir, d. 1704.	1698 (1698)	Wing B4433; ESTC R232233	49,829	76

only_o say_v further_o that_o both_o the_o irish_a and_o they_o have_v so_o late_o that_o we_o can_v yet_o forget_v it_o give_v we_o evident_a demonstration_n how_o they_o will_v deal_v with_o we_o

be_v like_a to_o prove_v but_o too_o firm_a and_o last_a which_o lead_v i_o three_o to_o a_o three_o consequence_n and_o one_o that_o i_o think_v do_v necessary_o and_o evident_o follow_v from_o what_o have_v be_v now_o say_v and_o that_o be_v that_o if_o the_o high_a court_n of_o parliament_n shall_v pass_v such_o a_o law_n as_o aforementioned_a and_o either_o the_o irish_a or_o scotch_a

this_o undertake_n i_o hear_v the_o question_n propose_v since_o i_o come_v to_o london_n what_o the_o church_n have_v to_o do_v with_o trade_n or_o how_o a_o law_n concern_v the_o woollen_a

be_v different_a and_o do_v not_o stand_v upon_o the_o same_o basis_n with_o the_o establish_a english_a law_n of_o that_o kingdom_n and_o i_o think_v it_o may_v as_o well_o have_v be_v ask_v what_o

if_o the_o nobility_n gentry_n and_o commonalty_n of_o that_o or_o any_o other_o nation_n be_v reduce_v to_o a_o low_a ebb_n of_o fortune_n the_o clergy_n must_v by_o necessary_a consequence_n bear_v a_o part_n in_o the_o common_a suffering_n except_o that_o part_n of_o the_o world_n where_o the_o church_n have_v engross_v all_o to_o herself_o and_o make_v the_o country_n poor_a and_o miserable_a and_o it_o be_v not_o long_o since_o we_o have_v by_o fatal_a experience_n find_v this_o to_o be_v true_a in_o ireland_n but_o for_o great_a evidence_n sake_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o show_v the_o

for_o two_o year_n before_o the_o war_n little_o more_o than_o the_o name_n of_o live_n for_o they_o must_v either_o have_v set_v their_o tithe_n etc._n etc._n to_o the_o irish_a at_o what_o rate_n they_o think_v fit_a to_o offer_v or_o they_o will_v pay_v little_a or_o none_o in_o kind_n for_o the_o most_o expeditious_a mean_n which_o the_o clergy_n of_o that_o kingdom_n have_v or_o indeed_o

against_o a_o papist_n the_o lord_n chancellor_n sir_n charles_n porter_n who_o be_v a_o true_a friend_n to_o the_o establish_a church_n and_o the_o english_a interest_n be_v displace_v to_o make_v

sufficient_a reason_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o if_o the_o scotch_a presbyterian_o have_v the_o estate_n of_o ireland_n and_o consequent_o the_o magistracy_n and_o power_n in_o their_o hand_n they_o will_v serve_v the_o episcopal_a clergy_n and_o such_o as_o shall_v adhere_v to_o they_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n the_o question_n therefore_o that_o remain_v be_v whether_o it_o be_v

of_o that_o kingdom_n such_o of_o they_o as_o live_v in_o the_o plain_a and_o fertile_a part_n of_o the_o country_n be_v general_o slave_n to_o the_o english_a or_o to_o their_o irish_a landlord_n

that_o i_o have_v myself_o very_o frequent_o hear_v they_o curse_v the_o english_a sheep_n with_o all_o the_o bitterness_n and_o rancour_n imaginable_a and_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o he_o will_v

a_o great_a many_o of_o the_o country_n must_v have_v inevitable_o perish_v by_o famine_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o grand_a mistake_n to_o think_v that_o the_o generality_n of_o they_o be_v rich_a
