to_o that_o with_o all_o the_o humility_n and_o modesty_n in_o the_o world_n i_o will_v apply_v myself_o as_o not_o conceive_v it_o any_o way_n become_v i_o to_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o sharpness_n

all_o these_o aggravation_n by_o word_n wherewith_o i_o have_v be_v set_v forth_o to_o your_o lordship_n only_o with_o this_o that_o i_o trust_v i_o shall_v make_v myself_o appear_v a_o person_n otherwise_o in_o my_o disposition_n and_o action_n than_o i_o have_v be_v render_v and_o short_o and_o brief_o i_o shall_v fall_v upon_o the_o very_a point_n as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v that_o be_v mention_v by_o that_o noble_a gentleman_n and_o if_o i_o shall_v forget_v any_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v remember_v of_o they_o that_o i_o may_v give_v the_o best_a answer_n i_o can_v on_o a_o sudden_a

they_o as_o they_o lie_v in_o order_n and_o the_o first_o thing_n in_o this_o answer_n be_v that_o in_o ireland_n by_o my_o mean_n many_o good_a law_n be_v make_v for_o increase_v of_o the_o king_n revenue_n and_o for_o good_a of_o the_o church_n and_o commonwealth_n and_o this_o i_o humble_o conceive_v be_v not_o deny_v direct_o only_o it_o be_v infer_v that_o law_n be_v of_o no_o use_n where_o will_n be_v put_v above_o law_n that_o these_o law_n be_v make_v the_o act_n of_o parliament_n that_o be_v extant_a and_o visible_a thing_n do_v make_v appear_v for_o though_o i_o may_v express_v it_o dark_o by_o reason_n i_o understand_v not_o matter_n of_o law_n the_o truth_n of_o it_o be_v before_o such_o time_n as_o i_o come_v there_o the_o statute_n of_o will_n and_o uses_n and_o fraudulent_a conveyance_n be_v not_o of_o force_n in_o ireland_n by_o which_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a mischief_n that_o fall_v many_o way_n both_o on_o the_o king_n and_o special_o on_o the_o english_a planter_n for_o by_o want_n of_o these_o statute_n no_o man_n know_v when_o he_o have_v a_o good_a title_n and_o old_a entayle_n will_v be_v set_v on_o foot_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o late_a purchaser_n avoid_v by_o which_o mean_v there_o be_v a_o great_a loss_n and_o prejudice_n to_o the_o king_n in_o his_o ward_n which_o by_o these_o law_n be_v settle_v and_o the_o law_n of_o ireland_n bring_v much_o near_o the_o law_n of_o england_n than_o before_o and_o in_o this_o point_n i_o conceive_v i_o be_o not_o absolute_o gainsay_v but_o only_o conditional_o that_o be_v that_o notwithstanding_o this_o i_o have_v set_v up_o another_o government_n arbitrary_a and_o tyrannical_a to_o which_o i_o shall_v not_o now_o trouble_v your_o lordship_n with_o a_o answer_n that_o be_v in_o the_o particular_n of_o my_o charge_n and_o thus_o i_o think_v the_o first_o to_o be_v fair_o and_o clear_o answer_v then_o that_o there_o be_v more_o parliament_n in_o the_o time_n of_o my_o

here_o that_o i_o think_v can_v make_v it_o good_a and_o whereas_o in_o my_o answer_n i_o deny_v that_o i_o ever_o have_v hand_n in_o any_o project_n or_o monopoly_n and_o that_o i_o do_v prevent_v divers_a that_o otherwise_o will_v have_v pass_v i_o say_v that_o under_o favour_n with_o all_o duty_n and_o confidence_n i_o must_v still_o affirm_v it_o that_o i_o never_o have_v hand_n or_o share_v in_o any_o manner_n of_o monopoly_n or_o project_n whatsoever_o unless_o the_o tobacco-business_n be_v a_o monopoly_n which_o under_o favour_n i_o shall_v clear_v not_o to_o be_v but_o that_o be_v

more_o than_o that_o of_o tobacco_n i_o say_v absolute_o and_o direct_o i_o never_o have_v my_o hand_n or_o share_v in_o any_o monopoly_n or_o project_n nay_o i_o do_v as_o murh_n as_o i_o can_v

not_o controvert_v but_o grant_v and_o therefore_o stand_v good_a to_o i_o or_o if_o it_o be_v controvert_v i_o be_o able_a to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o i_o have_v bring_v in_o nothing_o more_o than_o be_v former_o accustom_v in_o the_o point_n of_o the_o deputies-commission_n the_o next_o thing_n in_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o revenue_n of_o ireland_n be_v never_o able_a to_o

if_o your_o lordship_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o call_v for_o and_o examine_v my_o witness_n it_o be_v the_o proof_n your_o lordship_n will_v look_v to_o and_o not_o to_o what_o be_v only_o

think_v he_o not_o a_o vicious_a man_n he_o prove_v so_o and_o he_o have_v his_o merit_n he_o suffer_v for_o it_o and_o unless_o i_o have_v the_o inspection_n of_o almighty_a god_n i_o suppose_v this_o can_v be_v lay_v to_o my_o charge_n if_o any_o private_a end_n or_o respect_n shall_v appear_v in_o the_o do_n of_o it_o i_o desire_v no_o more_o of_o your_o lordship_n favour_n and_o i_o

high_a treason_n by_o the_o commons_o house_n of_o parliament_n in_o ireland_n and_o how_o the_o bishop_n will_v acquit_v himself_o i_o know_v not_o but_o for_o that_o the_o bishop_n must_v answer_v for_o himself_o not_o i_o this_o bishop_n have_v live_v in_o my_o house_n a_o long_a time_n as_o my_o chaplain_n and_o i_o humble_o recommend_v he_o to_o that_o bishopric_n take_v he_o and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v so_o approve_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o very_a learned_a man_n and_o that_o i_o think_v no_o body_n will_v deny_v certain_o he_o have_v the_o element_n to_o make_v he_o a_o very_a worthy_a churchman_n as_o most_o i_o know_v for_o that_o gwyn_n i_o profess_v i_o never_o hear_v of_o he_o before_o nor_o do_v i_o know_v he_o but_o recollect_v my_o thought_n i_o think_v he_o be_v recommend_v to_o i_o by_o my_o lord_n of_o d._n for_o in_o matter_n of_o the_o church_n i_o do_v use_v that_o gentleman_n and_o if_o i_o be_v to_o begin_v the_o world_n again_o i_o will_v use_v he_o still_o hold_v he_o a_o very_a honest_a worthy_a man_n and_o i_o think_v there_o be_v some_o rectory_n or_o impropriation_n that_o the_o earl_n of_o cork_n have_v possession_n of_o which_o be_v restore_v to_o the_o church_n and_o it_o be_v of_o so_o small_a and_o trivial_a a_o value_n that_o they_o know_v not_o who_o to_o get_v to_o serve_v the_o cure_n and_o on_o that_o occasion_n this_o man_n be_v recommend_v to_o it_o and_o i_o think_v that_o if_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v examine_v thirty_o pound_n a_o year_n will_v go_v far_o in_o his_o preferment_n and_o if_o such_o a_o
