devon_n where_o i_o spend_v some_o year_n in_o study_v humanity_n and_o divinity_n and_o find_v from_o his_o hand_n much_o favour_n and_o love_n for_o which_o kindness_n i_o pray_v god_n to_o

to_o maintain_v herself_o and_o so_o many_o child_n as_o she_o have_v who_o grow_v daily_o more_o expensive_a as_o we_o grow_v in_o year_n and_o thereupon_o i_o address_v myself_o to_o she_o resolve_v to_o lose_v my_o life_n with_o my_o fortune_n in_o ireland_n or_o regain_a it_o who_o give_v i_o her_o blessing_n and_o consent_n and_o so_o after_o some_o 5_o or_o 6_o year_n absence_n i_o return_v to_o my_o native_a country_n which_o at_o that_o time_n be_v in_o a_o most_o miserable_a and_o deplorable_a state_n as_o you_o may_v well_o remember_v for_o than_o it_o be_v not_o as_o former_o a_o national_a quarrel_n irish_a against_o english_a and_o protestant_n against_o papist_n but_o there_o be_v high_a and_o strange_a division_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n english_a against_o english_a

that_o i_o resolve_v not_o to_o intermeddle_v therein_o till_o the_o mist_n of_o confusion_n be_v over_o and_o so_o for_o refuge_n retire_v myself_o to_o the_o castle_n of_o caperquin_n where_o i_o

be_v the_o practice_n of_o my_o countryman_n for_o who_o i_o have_v this_o charity_n that_o if_o they_o be_v not_o stranger_n to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n they_o will_v not_o run_v into_o such_o
