what_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o warrant_n be_v swear_v to_o be_v that_o howsoever_o the_o sergeant_n at_o arm_n and_o his_o minister_n that_o execute_v it_o bring_v but_o four_o or_o six_o or_o ten_o

truth_n there_o be_v his_o answer_n in_o his_o collection_n and_o for_o their_o charter_n he_o say_v he_o may_v very_o well_o say_v so_o for_o he_o intend_v it_o no_o otherwise_o but_o according_a to_o the_o validity_n of_o they_o for_o they_o be_v several_a way_n questionable_a and_o ought_v not_o to_o bind_v unless_o they_o be_v good_a in_o law_n but_o if_o you_o look_v upon_o his_o

with_o invade_v the_o estate_n of_o the_o peer_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o ireland_n and_o determine_v they_o upon_o paper_n petition_n in_o a_o arbitrary_a way_n your_o lordship_n have_v hear_v he_o

mighty_a but_o then_o my_o lord_n i_o beseech_v you_o compare_v some_o other_o part_n of_o his_o proceed_n your_o lordship_n remember_v the_o business_n of_o the_o flax_n which_o concern_v the_o poor_a whole_o and_o universal_o and_o if_o compassion_n have_v be_v the_o rule_n and_o direction_n of_o his_o action_n towards_o the_o poor_a sure_o this_o will_v have_v be_v a_o just_a cause_n to_o have_v commiserate_v they_o in_o this_o case_n but_o he_o exercise_v his_o power_n over_o they_o and_o over_o they_o whole_o and_o over_o they_o universal_o and_o therefore_o it_o show_v it_o be_v not_o his_o compassion_n to_o the_o poor_a nor_o respect_n to_o the_o rich_a or_o mighty_a that_o will_v any_o way_n restrain_v or_o obstruct_v his_o way_n to_o his_o own_o will._n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v see_v what_o truth_n there_o be_v in_o his_o answer_n by_o compare_v one_o part_n of_o the_o charge_n with_o another_o when_o the_o business_n of_o the_o flax_n bring_v that_o calamity_n upon_o the_o king_n subject_n that_o thousand_o of_o they_o perish_v for_o lack_v of_o bread_n and_o die_v in_o ditch_n second_o your_o lordship_n have_v often_o hear_v he_o use_v a_o rhetorical_a

with_o a_o high_a hand_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o i_o think_v your_o lordship_n have_v not_o hear_v the_o like_a and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o compare_v one_o part_n of_o his_o answer_n with_o another_o and_o see_v how_o ready_a he_o be_v to_o make_v use_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v excuse_v himself_o and_o yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o act_v his_o power_n you_o see_v his_o

a_o desire_n of_o the_o parliament_n that_o the_o king_n will_v be_v please_v to_o take_v his_o custom_n into_o his_o hand_n for_o the_o advancement_n of_o his_o revenue_n that_o it_o may_v go_v to_o

nor_o can_v make_v good_a for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o if_o you_o observe_v the_o course_n he_o take_v he_o make_v proclamation_n to_o hinder_v the_o import_v of_o tobacco_n into_o ireland_n that_o if_o it_o be_v import_v it_o must_v be_v sell_v to_o he_o at_o his_o own_o rate_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o first_o hinder_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o subject_a from_o do_v what_o the_o law_n allow_v he_o and_o so_o take_v on_o he_o a_o arbitrary_a power_n and_o second_o he_o ingross_v this_o commodity_n to_o himself_o deceive_v his_o majesty_n to_o who_o he_o profess_v so_o much_o fidelity_n for_o whereas_o there_o be_v 5000_o l._n rent_n to_o the_o king_n he_o by_o the_o computation_n of_o merchant_n receive_v near_o 14000_o l._n a_o year_n and_o because_o their_o computation_n be_v not_o always_o true_a i_o do_v not_o care_v if_o i_o allow_v he_o 40000_o l._n mistake_v and_o then_o he_o will_v gain_v near_o 100000_o l._n so_o that_o if_o he_o intend_v the_o
