gallant_a and_o true_o meritorious_a ireland_n the_o irish_a unanimous_o agree_v to_o root_v the_o english_a out_o of_o ireland_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o first_o and_o most_o bloody_a execution_n be_v make_v in_o the_o prevince_n of_o ulster_n and_o there_o they_o continue_v long_a to_o execute_v their_o rage_n and_o cruelty_n yet_o must_v it_o be_v acknowledge_v

plant_v throughout_o the_o kingdom_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n they_o go_v on_o not_o only_o murder_v strip_v and_o drive_v out_o all_o of_o they_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n but_o they_o lay_v
