must_v needs_o be_v rebellious_a i_o be_o sure_a the_o commotion_n in_o king_n charles_n the_o first_o be_v time_n be_v style_v so_o by_o most_o historian_n this_o pretence_n therefore_o of_o

have_v late_o see_v a_o book_n letter_n undergo_v a_o severe_a censure_n for_o offer_v to_o broach_v the_o doctrine_n of_o conquest_n in_o the_o free_a kingdom_n of_o england_n but_o to_o take_v off_o all_o pretence_n from_o conquest_n this_o title_n by_o conquest_n
i_o come_v in_o the_o three_o place_n to_o inquire_v what_o title_n conquest_n give_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o reason_n and_o in_o this_o particular_a i_o conceive_v conquest_n that_o if_o the_o aggressor_n or_o insulter_n invade_v a_o nation_n unjust_o he_o can_v never_o thereby_o have_v a_o right_n over_o the_o conquer_a this_o i_o suppose_v will_v be_v ready_o grant_v by_o all_o

a_o title_n as_o this_o have_v a_o unjust_a conqueror_n who_o with_o a_o sword_n at_o my_o throat_n force_v i_o into_o submission_n that_o be_v force_v i_o to_o part_v with_o my_o natural_a estate_n and_o birthright_n of_o be_v govern_v only_o by_o law_n to_o which_o i_o give_v my_o consent_n and_o not_o by_o his_o will_n or_o the_o will_n of_o any_o other_o let_v we_o then_o suppose_v a_o just_a invader_n conquest_n one_o that_o have_v right_o on_o his_o side_n to_o attack_v a_o nation_n in_o a_o hostile_a manner_n and_o that_o those_o who_o oppose_v he_o be_v in_o the_o wrong_n let_v we_o then_o see_v what_o power_n he_o get_v and_o over_o who_o first_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o get_v by_o his_o conquest_n conquest_n no_o power_n over_o those_o who_o conquer_a with_o he_o they_o that_o fight_v on_o his_o side_n whether_o as_o private_a soldier_n or_o commander_n can_v suffer_v by_o the_o conquest_n but_o must_v at_o least_o be_v as_o much_o freeman_n as_o they_o be_v before_o if_o any_o lose_v their_o freedom_n by_o the_o norman_a conquest_n suppose_v king_n william_n the_o first_o have_v right_o to_o invade_v england_n it_o be_v only_o the_o saxon_n and_o britain_n and_o not_o the_o norman_n that_o conquer_a with_o he_o in_o like_a manner_n suppose_v hen._n ii_o have_v right_o to_o invade_v this_o island_n and_o that_o he_o have_v be_v oppose_v therein_o by_o the_o inhabitant_n it_o be_v only_o the_o ancient_a race_n of_o the_o irish_a that_o can_v suffer_v by_o this_o subjugation_n the_o english_a and_o britain_n that_o come_v over_o and_o conquer_a with_o he_o retain_v all_o the_o freedom_n and_o immunity_n of_o freeborn_a subject_n they_o nor_o their_o descendant_n can_v not_o in_o reason_n lose_v these_o for_o be_v successful_a and_o victorious_a for_o so_o the_o state_n of_o conqueror_n and_o conquer_a shall_v be_v equal_o slavish_a now_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o great_a body_n of_o the_o present_a people_n of_o ireland_n be_v the_o progeny_n of_o the_o english_a and_o britain_n that_o from_o time_n to_o time_n have_v come_v over_o into_o this_o kingdom_n and_o there_o remain_v but_o a_o mere_a handful_n of_o the_o ancient_a irish_a at_o this_o day_n i_o may_v say_v not_o one_o in_o a_o thousand_o so_o that_o if_o i_o or_o any_o body_n else_o claim_v the_o like_a freedom_n with_o the_o natural_a bear_a subject_n of_o england_n as_o be_v descend_v from_o they_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o prove_v the_o contrary_n i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o a_o just_a conqueror_n get_v no_o power_n but_o only_o over_o those_o who_o have_v actual_o assist_v in_o that_o unjust_a force_n that_o be_v use_v against_o he_o and_o as_o those_o that_o join_v with_o non-opposer_n the_o conqueror_n in_o a_o just_a invasion_n have_v lose_v no_o right_n by_o the_o conquest_n so_o neither_o have_v those_o of_o the_o country_n who_o oppose_v he_o not_o this_o seem_v so_o reasonable_a at_o first_o proposal_n that_o it_o want_v

whereby_o the_o conqueror_n be_v entitle_v to_o use_v he_o as_o a_o beast_n that_o be_v kill_v he_o or_o enslave_v he_o second_o let_v we_o consider_v what_o opposer_n power_n that_o be_v which_o a_o

which_o all_o mankind_n have_v a_o right_n i_o shall_v show_v present_o that_o the_o just_a conqueror_n have_v a_o absolute_a power_n over_o the_o life_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o conquer_a appear_v from_o hence_o because_o the_o conquer_a by_o put_v themselves_o in_o a_o state_n of_o war_n by_o use_v a_o unjust_a force_n have_v thereby_o forfeit_v their_o life_n for_o quit_v reason_n which_o

but_o as_o for_o forfeit_v their_o estate_n it_o depend_v on_o the_o municipal_a law_n of_o the_o kingdom_n but_o we_o be_v now_o inquire_v what_o the_o consequent_n will_v be_v between_o two_o
