sell_v of_o which_o it_o be_v humble_o propose_v that_o the_o gentleman_n of_o ireland_n may_v have_v fee-farm_n grant_v they_o of_o the_o forfeit_v estate_n at_o great_a or_o lesser_a rent_n according_a to_o the_o respective_a value_n of_o the_o land_n by_o they_o take_v which_o rent_n so_o secure_v will_v be_v very_o well_o worth_a ten_o year_n purchase_n as_o to_o the_o value_n whoever_o consider_v that_o one_o acre_n with_o another_o be_v rate_v but_o at_o two_o shilling_n and_o that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o forfeiture_n happen_v to_o be_v in_o leinster_n and_o

seem_v to_o be_v but_o one_o material_a objection_n against_o this_o calculation_n of_o the_o forfeiture_n be_v worth_a a_o million_o which_o be_v the_o encumbrance_n that_o shall_v appear_v to_o be_v in_o these_o forfeit_a estate_n to_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v answer_v first_o that_o encumbrance_n be_v pretend_v to_o be_v very_o much_o great_a than_o they_o be_v where_o they_o be_v real_a
