of_o europe_n and_o retain_v a_o implacable_a resolution_n to_o destroy_v all_o sort_n of_o protestant_n and_o utter_o to_o root_v out_o that_o pestilent_a northern_a heresy_n abound_v in_o wealth_n and_o treasure_n follow_v by_o mighty_a army_n strengthen_v by_o a_o numerous_a fleet_n of_o ship_n as_o nothing_o in_o humane_a probability_n can_v defeat_v his_o execrable_a design_n of_o aggrandise_v himself_o by_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o neighbour_n but_o the_o scarcity_n of_o convenient_a port_n and_o havens_n in_o any_o of_o his_o dominion_n so_o it_o must_v be_v his_o principal_a aim_n and_o endeavour_v to_o be_v master_n of_o ireland_n whereby_o he_o will_v be_v sufficient_o accommodate_v with_o excellent_a good_a harbour_n in_o which_o he_o may_v secure_o place_v his_o fleet_n to_o extend_v his_o sovereignty_n over_o the_o sea_n and_o opportune_o annoy_v his_o enemy_n 2._o this_o be_v accomplish_v not_o only_o the_o revenue_n and_o trade_n of_o ireland_n will_v be_v utter_o lose_v the_o auxiliary_a aid_n of_o two_o hundred_o thousand_o protestant_n divert_v and_o take_v away_o and_o many_o thousand_o of_o they_o force_v to_o depend_v upon_o the_o charity_n of_o

to_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o french_a and_o annex_v to_o his_o dominion_n and_o make_v a_o prey_n to_o glut_v his_o restless_a ambition_n 3._o the_o french_a king_n will_v make_v ireland_n a_o magazine_n and_o storehouse_n for_o the_o victual_v his_o ship_n and_o the_o harbour_n as_o so_o many_o dock_n to_o shelter_v they_o where_o his_o fleet_n ride_v in_o safety_n a_o opportunity_n will_v

out_o from_o thence_o in_o their_o navigation_n towards_o the_o strait_n or_o to_o the_o indies_n but_o they_o must_v pass_v within_o view_n of_o some_o port_n of_o ireland_n or_o very_o near_o they_o

woollen_a manufacture_n be_v the_o ancient_a staple_n of_o england_n and_o a_o main_a support_n to_o their_o trade_n into_o all_o foreign_a country_n if_o it_o shall_v so_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o ireland_n be_v alienate_v from_o it_o which_o abound_v with_o that_o commodity_n and_o from_o whence_o it_o may_v be_v export_v at_o far_o cheap_a rate_n than_o can_v be_v afford_v in_o england_n how_o unspeakable_a a_o prejudice_n will_v it_o be_v to_o the_o trade_n how_o will_v it_o impoverish_v the_o people_n and_o bring_v a_o unavoidable_a ruin_n on_o many_o town_n and_o family_n 5._o

such_o a_o unwelcome_a neighbourhood_n it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a the_o french_a king_n may_v discompose_v the_o peace_n and_o quiet_a of_o great_a britain_n when_o at_o any_o time_n of_o

four_o hour_n in_o the_o west_n of_o scotland_n and_o this_o not_o to_o be_v prevent_v by_o the_o english_a fleet_n or_o by_o all_o the_o art_n and_o contrivance_n of_o mankind_n the_o conclusion_n i_o wish_v the_o people_n of_o england_n may_v see_v now_o in_o this_o their_o day_n what_o belong_v to_o their_o peace_n before_o it_o be_v hide_v from_o their_o eye_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v delude_v by_o false_a gloss_n and_o sinister_a interpretation_n of_o public_a act_n nor_o be_v cajole_v by_o jealous_a misprision_n and_o groundless_a censure_n on_o private_a council_n that_o they_o may_v understand_v and_o consider_v how_o much_o their_o safety_n and_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o protestant_a religion_n be_v concern_v and_o involve_v in_o the_o fate_n of_o ireland_n and_o that_o if_o the_o enemy_n chance_v to_o possess_v the_o outwork_n the_o city_n will_v be_v in_o great_a danger_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v abuse_v by_o chimerical_a notion_n of_o obey_v without_o reserve_n or_o be_v destroy_v without_o resistance_n that_o they_o will_v rest_v content_v with_o obtain_v their_o desire_n in_o be_v happy_a under_o the_o establishment_n of_o a_o protestant_a king_n and_o queen_n and_o not_o hanker_v after_o a_o change_n or_o be_v bewitch_v to_o make_v a_o wanton_a experiment_n of_o indulgence_n and_o protection_n under_o a_o popish_a government_n finis_fw-la
