most_o country_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o production_n of_o flax_n and_o hemp_n the_o native_n of_o the_o country_n seem_v to_o be_v natural_o incline_v to_o this_o manufacture_n it_o be_v

that_o england_n be_v well_o incline_v to_o humour_v the_o genius_n of_o ireland_n when_o we_o consider_v what_o a_o hand_n holland_n france_n and_o the_o northern_a crown_n have_v make_v of_o this_o

with_o that_o linen_n which_o they_o have_v from_o our_o neighbour_a country_n this_o will_v raise_v we_o a_o vast_a treasure_n but_o i_o can_v see_v what_o prejudice_n it_o will_v do_v england_n it_o

in_o linen_n one_o with_o another_o this_o computation_n i_o suppose_v be_v much_o too_o large_a if_o the_o 30_o part_n of_o this_o be_v lay_v out_o in_o ireland_n it_o will_v be_v three_o time_n as_o

i_o think_v sir_n it_o will_v become_v the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o nation_n to_o make_v a_o new_a act_n which_o shall_v be_v in_o force_n twenty_o year_n after_o the_o expiration_n of_o the_o old_a one_o and_o it_o will_v be_v for_o the_o public_a good_a i_o think_v that_o by_o this_o law_n foreigner_n be_v not_o only_o naturalize_v but_o make_v free_a of_o our_o corporation_n likewise_o this_o will_v be_v for_o the_o advantage_n of_o the_o commonwealth_n and_o will_v not_o injure_v particular_a trade_n man_n as_o man_n upon_o first_o sight_n be_v apt_a to_o imagine_v to_o vouchsafe_v

truth_n be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o give_v rich_a man_n leave_v to_o bring_v in_o their_o wealth_n and_o the_o poor_a leave_n to_o beg_v in_o your_o country_n i_o can_v wish_v that_o all_o who_o it_o concern_v will_v serious_o consider_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o while_n to_o lay_v another_o bait_n to_o draw_v they_o in_o whether_o that_o after_o you_o have_v consider_v the_o real_a

their_o family_n to_o settle_v here_o i_o will_v have_v this_o money_n distribute_v among_o the_o poor_a french_a especial_o because_o they_o have_v be_v great_a sufferer_n on_o the_o account_n of_o

the_o nation_n because_o it_o will_v be_v spend_v in_o the_o kingdom_n and_o will_v increase_v its_o wealth_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v this_o will_v not_o draw_v in_o the_o poor_a alone_o but_o the_o rich_a likewise_o for_o they_o will_v be_v fond_a of_o live_v among_o a_o people_n who_o make_v such_o provision_n for_o their_o poor_a and_o because_o i_o have_v show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n to_o encourage_v foreign_a protestant_n to_o settle_v here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v hope_v that_o if_o it_o can_v be_v do_v some_o measure_n will_v be_v think_v of_o to_o prevail_v upon_o the_o king_n and_o people_n of_o england_n to_o raise_v some_o fund_z there_o to_o help_v poor_a foreigner_n to_o come_v over_o hither_o when_o this_o be_v do_v i_o think_v sir_n that_o our_o great_a council_n will_v do_v that_o which_o will_v make_v their_o memory_n dear_a to_o postority_n if_o they_o will_v address_v the_o government_n and_o pray_v that_o they_o will_v signify_v to_o his_o majesty_n that_o it_o be_v the_o request_n of_o his_o great_a council_n here_o that_o for_o promote_a the_o prosperity_n and_o secure_v the_o peace_n of_o this_o nation_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v he_o will_v in_o the_o grant_v he_o make_v of_o forfeit_v land_n take_v some_o care_n to_o have_v protestant_n plant_v in_o they_o if_o in_o every_o estate_n grant_v by_o the_o king_n the_o person_n to_o who_o the_o grant_n be_v make_v be_v oblige_v to_o plant_v a_o considerable_a number_n of_o protestant_n in_o proportion_n to_o the_o land_n which_o be_v give_v he_o and_o if_o they_o be_v oblige_v to_o set_v out_o a_o good_a part_n of_o those_o estate_n to_o protestant_a tenant_n in_o lease_n for_o life_n at_o a_o small_a rent_n first_o and_o to_o be_v raise_v afterward_o this_o i_o think_v will_v have_v a_o very_a good_a effect_n and_o will_v go_v a_o great_a way_n towards_o make_v the_o country_n rich_a and_o secure_a there_o be_v another_o thing_n which_o i_o can_v wish_v the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o nation_n will_v serious_o consider_v whether_o it_o will_v not_o be_v very_o much_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o ireland_n that_o the_o king_n will_v grant_v at_o least_o a_o part_n of_o the_o forfeit_v land_n not_o yet_o dispose_v of_o to_o foreign_a protestant_n particular_o and_o that_o for_o very_o good_a reason_n to_o the_o french_a i_o believe_v when_o they_o consider_v the_o thing_n impartial_o they_o will_v own_v it_o i_o find_v that_o in_o the_o year_n 1583_o queen_n elizabeth_n in_o the_o instruction_n which_o she_o give_v sir_n

this_o care_n take_v they_o must_v take_v up_o with_o the_o irish_a tenant_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o land_n and_o thing_n must_v run_v on_o in_o their_o old_a course_n if_o they_o furnish_v people_n out_o of_o england_n this_o will_v unpeople_v england_n and_o impoverish_v it_o which_o it_o be_v our_o interest_n to_o have_v full_a of_o people_n and_o wealth_n that_o we_o may_v live_v the_o more_o secure_a under_o its_o protection_n the_o great_a body_n of_o the_o french_a protestant_n be_v at_o this_o day_n in_o a_o very_a uneasy_a and_o unsettled_a condition_n and_o no_o one_o know_v how_o
