by_o the_o parliament_n make_v gallienvs_n instruction_n sufficient_a to_o justify_v verianus_n in_o his_o execution_n of_o they_o whereby_o they_o justify_v the_o whole_a murder_n and_o bring_v it_o upon_o their_o own_o head_n and_o upon_o the_o head_n of_o their_o child_n for_o if_o gallienus_n have_v no_o power_n by_o law_n to_o send_v such_o instruction_n they_o can_v be_v no_o justification_n to_o verianus_n but_o now_o that_o parliament_n have_v voted_n that_o such_o instruction_n be_v a_o justification_n of_o verianus_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v yield_v that_o gallienus_n have_v by_o law_n a_o power_n to_o send_v such_o instruction_n and_o that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v obey_v and_o then_o lord_n have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o nor_o have_v our_o parliament_n in_o england_n be_v behind_o that_o of_o scotland_n in_o sacrifice_v our_o law_n life_n and_o liberty_n to_o a_o arbitrary_a and_o despotic_a power_n and_o that_o not_o only_o to_o order_n sign_v by_o gallienus_n

by_o protestant_n of_o ireland_n gentleman_n of_o quality_n and_o estate_n and_o of_o public_a and_o generous_a spirit_n who_o noble_a resentment_n to_o see_v their_o law_n so_o vile_o trample_v under_o foot_n by_o those_o who_o they_o have_v invite_v thither_o to_o protect_v they_o bring_v they_o hither_o in_o person_n to_o demand_v justice_n from_o our_o house_n of_o commons_o against_o coningsby_n who_o be_v one_o of_o their_o member_n and_o that_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o of_o revenge_n in_o the_o case_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o person_n who_o be_v murder_a it_o be_v notorious_a that_o gaffney_n be_v a_o poor_a fellow_n a_o servant_n to_o sweetman_n hereafter_o mention_v and_o whole_o unknown_a i_o believe_v to_o every_o one_o of_o the_o gentleman_n who_o prosecute_v coningsby_n beside_o he_o be_v a_o roman_n catholic_n and_o one_o of_o the_o native_a irish_a upon_o both_o of_o which_o account_n he_o can_v have_v the_o less_o share_n of_o interest_n with_o the_o british_a and_o irish_a protestant_n who_o be_v then_o not_o whole_o come_v out_o of_o a_o most_o bloody_a war_n against_o they_o for_o limerick_n as_o yet_o hold_v out_o and_o therefore_o these_o worthy_a patriot_n who_o come_v over_o from_o ireland_n hither_o to_o prosecute_v coningsby_n can_v have_v no_o other_o incitement_n but_o love_n of_o their_o country_n and_o the_o

will_v remain_v a_o instance_n of_o arbitrary_a government_n not_o to_o be_v equal_v in_o former_a age_n nor_o easy_o credible_a to_o the_o future_a the_o story_n one_o will_v think_v shall_v not_o

with_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o article_n concern_v gaffney_n which_o with_o several_a other_o of_o other_o instance_n of_o high_a arbitrary_a government_n be_v exhibit_v by_o the_o earl_n of_o

word_n that_o the_o lord_n jussices_n do_v in_o council_n by_o word_n of_o mouth_n order_v one_o gaffney_n to_o be_v hang_v without_o trial_n the_o court_n of_o justice_n be_v then_o open_a and_o who_o be_v at_o that_o time_n a_o evidence_n against_o one_o sweetman_n for_o the_o murder_n of_o colonel_n foulk_n soldier_n but_o the_o say_v sweetman_n give_v all_o his_o real_a estate_n to_o the_o

that_o every_o tittle_n of_o the_o say_a charge_n be_v prove_v full_o and_o past_o all_o contradiction_n captain_n fitz-gerald_n who_o be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o privy_a council_n in_o ireland_n declare_v that_o he_o be_v then_o sit_v at_o the_o board_n and_o that_o the_o council_n be_v not_o advise_v with_o at_o all_o in_o it_o that_o sweetman_n estate_n value_v at_o 3000_o l._n be_v offer_v to_o he_o captain_n fitz_n gerald_n on_o condition_n that_o he_o will_v make_v interest_n to_o save_v sweetmas_n life_n that_o lord_n coningsby_n who_o give_v the_o order_n for_o execute_v of_o gaffney_n be_v in_o so_o great_a haste_n to_o have_v he_o dispatch_v out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o he_o be_v a_o evidence_n against_o sweetman_n that_o he_o order_v a_o provo_n instead_o of_o any_o legal_a officer_n to_o be_v call_v into_o the_o council-chamber_n where_o gaffney_n be_v examine_v and_o after_o have_v ask_v gaffney_n three_o or_o four_o question_n and_o that_o he_o positive_o deny_v his_o have_v any_o accession_n to_o the_o say_a murder_n command_v the_o provo_n to_o take_v he_o out_o and_o hang_v he_o up_o immediate_o and_o the_o provo_n make_v answer_n that_o it_o will_v

deny_v one_o word_n before_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o and_o all_o he_o say_v in_o his_o own_o vindication_n be_v that_o if_o he_o have_v not_o hang_v gaffney_n so_o he_o can_v not_o have_v hang_v he_o at_o all_o which_o be_v true_a for_o there_o be_v no_o evidence_n against_o he_o and_o therefore_o they_o will_v give_v he_o no_o trial_n but_o why_o must_v gaffney_n then_o be_v hang_v because_o forsooth_o some_o officer_n in_o the_o army_n will_v have_v some_o body_n hang_v for_o the_o murder_n of_o foulk_n soldier_n and_o sweetman_n in_o who_o backside_n the_o soldier_n be_v bury_v and_o their_o coat_n find_v in_o his_o house_n have_v give_v 500_o l._n to_o the_o lord_n justice_n secretary_n and_o his_o estate_n to_o another_o man_n in_o power_n but_o gaffney_n be_v a_o poor_a rogue_n and_o have_v nothing_o to_o give_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a he_o shall_v be_v hang_v and_o hang_v as_o he_o be_v or_o not_o at_o all_o as_o coningsby_n honest_o but_o impudent_o confess_v but_o now_o come_v the_o astonish_a wonder_n after_o all_o these_o thing_n so_o plain_o prove_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o can_v not_o frame_v any_o manner_n of_o excuse_n for_o coningsby_n but_o be_v force_v to_o vote_n the_o execution_n of_o gaffney_n without_o trial_n to_o be_v arbitrary_a and_o illegal_a yet_o that_o consider_v the_o state_n of_o affair_n they_o
