we_o may_v observe_v what_o fair_a justice_n be_v design_v for_o protestant_n a_o law_n be_v make_v to_o turn_v near_o 3000_o out_o of_o their_o estate_n and_o to_o take_v away_o their_o life_n if_o

and_o he_o be_v much_o a_o stranger_n to_o ireland_n that_o know_v not_o what_o mercy_n a_o englishman_n and_o a_o protestant_n be_v to_o expect_v from_o they_o especial_o when_o they_o can_v give_v
