to_o speak_v more_o clear_o and_o authentical_o upon_o this_o subject_a i_o shall_v insert_v the_o follow_a table_n of_o export_v and_o import_v commodity_n and_o from_o they_o make_v the_o subnex_v observation_n viz._n the_o table_n 1._o that_o the_o custom_n manage_v by_o the_o states-officer_n yield_v anno_fw-la 1657._o under_o 12,000_o l._n but_o be_v farm_a ann._n 1658._o for_o above_o

ann._n 1664._o before_o the_o cattel-statute_n ¾_n of_o the_o ireland_n foreign_a trade_n be_v with_o england_n but_o now_o not_o ¼_n part_v of_o the_o same_o 4._o that_o the_o manufacture_n bestow_v upon_o a_o year_n exportation_n out_o of_o ireland_n be_v not_o worth_a above_o 8000_o l._n 5._o that_o because_o more_o eatable_n be_v export_v anno_fw-la 1664._o than_o 1641._o and_o more_o manufacture_n 1641._o then_o ann._n 1664._o it_o follow_v there_o be_v more_o people_n in_o ireland_n ann._n 1641._o then_o 1664._o and_o in_o that_o proportion_n as_o be_v former_o mention_v 6._o that_o the_o exportation_n appear_v more_o worth_a than_o the_o importation_n except_v that_o the_o account_n of_o the_o former_a be_v more_o true_a but_o of_o the_o latter_a very_o conjectural_a and_o probable_o less_o than_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o religion_n diet_n clothes_n language_n manner_n and_o interest_n of_o the_o several_a present_a inhabitant_n of_o ireland_n we_o say_v that_o of_o the_o 1100_o m._n inhabitant_n of_o ireland_n about_o 800_o m._n of_o they_o be_v irish_a and_o that_o above_o 600_o m._n of_o they_o live_v very_o simple_o in_o the_o cabin_n aforementioned_a wherefore_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o first_o place_n describe_v the_o religion_n diet_n etc._n etc._n of_o these_o be_v the_o major_a part_n of_o the_o whole_a not_o whole_o omit_v some_o of_o the_o other_o species_n also_o the_o religion_n of_o these_o poor_a irish_a be_v call_v roman_a catholic_n who_o head_n be_v the_o pope_n of_o rome_n from_o whence_o they_o be_v proper_o enough_o call_v

what_o i_o think_v peculiar_a to_o these_o irish._n and_o first_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o priest_n among_o they_o be_v of_o small_a learning_n but_o be_v think_v by_o their_o flock_n to_o have_v much_o because_o they_o can_v speak_v latin_a more_o or_o less_o and_o can_v often_o out-talk_v in_o latin_a those_o who_o dispute_v with_o they_o so_o as_o they_o be_v thereby_o think_v both_o more_o orthodox_n and_o able_a than_o their_o antagonist_n their_o read_n in_o latin_a be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o fabulous_a story_n of_o their_o country_n but_o the_o superior_a learning_n among_o they_o be_v the_o philosophy_n of_o the_o school_n and_o the_o genealogy_n of_o their_o ancestor_n both_o which_o look_v like_o what_o st._n paul_n have_v condemn_v the_o priest_n be_v choose_v for_o the_o most_o part_n out_o of_o old_a irish_a gentry_n and_o thereby_o influence_n the_o people_n as_o well_o by_o their_o interest_n as_o their_o office_n their_o preach_a seem_v rather_o bugbearing_a of_o their_o flock_n with_o dreadful_a story_n than_o persuade_v they_o by_o reason_n or_o the_o scripture_n they_o have_v a_o incredible_a opinion_n of_o the_o pope_n and_o his_o sanctity_n of_o the_o happiness_n of_o those_o who_o can_v obtain_v his_o blessing_n at_o the_o three_o or_o four_o hand_n only_o some_o few_o who_o have_v late_o be_v abroad_o have_v get_v so_o far_o as_o to_o talk_v of_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o interest_n of_o the_o court_n of_o rome_n and_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n the_o common_a priest_n have_v few_o of_o they_o be_v out_o of_o ireland_n and_o those_o who_o have_v be_v breed_v in_o covent_n or_o make_v friar_n for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o have_v humble_a opinion_n of_o the_o english_a and_o protestant_n and_o of_o the_o mischief_n of_o set_v up_o manufacture_n and_o introduce_v of_o trade_n they_o also_o comfort_v their_o flock_n partly_o by_o prophecy_n of_o their_o restoration_n to_o their_o ancient_a estate_n and_o liberty_n which_o the_o able_a sort_n of_o they_o fetch_v from_o what_o the_o prophet_n of_o the_o old-testament_n have_v deliver_v by_o way_n of_o god_n promise_n to_o restore_v the_o jew_n and_o the_o kingdom_n to_o israel_n they_o make_v little_a esteem_n of_o a_o oath_n upon_o a_o protestant_a bible_n but_o will_v more_o devout_o take_v up_o a_o stone_n and_o swear_v upon_o it_o call_z it_o a_o book_n than_o by_o the_o say_a book_n of_o book_n the_o bible_n but_o of_o all_o oath_n they_o think_v themselves_o at_o much_o liberty_n to_o take_v a_o land-oath_n as_o they_o call_v
