of_o the_o prince_n of_o their_o native_a country_n this_o be_v a_o just_a caution_n at_o that_o time_n when_o the_o power_n of_o spain_n be_v so_o great_a and_o all_o be_v of_o one_o religion_n it_o

see_v what_o the_o great_a and_o wise_a man_n reckon_v the_o interest_n of_o england_n that_o it_o be_v to_o subdue_v ireland_n thorough_o and_o put_v it_o into_o such_o a_o condition_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o give_v any_o disturbance_n to_o england_n or_o the_o english_a colony_n here_o they_o be_v not_o afraid_a of_o depopulate_v england_n or_o of_o want_v man_n to_o send_v to_o raise_v

be_v the_o adventurer_n retire_v themselves_o to_o england_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o mention_v these_o thing_n be_v to_o show_v that_o in_o former_a time_n england_n do_v not_o regard_v any_o
