it_o but_o with_o all_o possible_a gratitude_n acknowledge_v the_o mighty_a benefit_n ireland_n have_v often_o receive_v from_o england_n in_o help_v to_o suppress_v the_o rebellion_n of_o this_o coun●…ry_n to_o england_n charitable_a assistance_n our_o life_n and_o fortune_n be_v owe_v but_o with_o all_o humble_a submission_n i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v consider_v whether_o england_n do_v not_o at_o ●…he_v same_o time_n propose_v the_o prevention_n of_o their_o own_o danger_n that_o will_v necessary_o have_v attend_v our_o ruin_n if_o so_o it_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n their_o own_o battle_n they_o fight_v when_o they_o fight_v for_o ireland_n and_o a_o great_a part_n of_o their_o expense_n must_v be_v reckon_v in_o their_o own_o defence_n another_o thing_n allege_v against_o ireland_n be_v this_o if_o a_o foreign_a nation_n as_o france_n or_o spain_n for_o instance_n bind_v prove_v prejudicial_a to_o england_n in_o its_o trade_n or_o any_o other_o way_n england_n if_o it_o be_v strong_a redress_n itself_o by_o force_n of_o arm_n or_o denounce_v war_n and_o why_o may_v not_o england_n if_o ireland_n lie_v cross_v their_o interest_n restrain_v ireland_n and_o bind_v it_o by_o law_n and_o maintain_v these_o law_n by_o force_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o will_v hardly_o be_v instance_a that_o any_o nation_n ever_o declare_v war_n with_o another_o mere_o for_o over-topping_a they_o in_o some_o signal_n advantage_n which_o otherwise_o or_o but_o for_o their_o endeavour_n they_o may_v have_v reap_v war_n only_o be_v justifiable_a for_o injustice_n do_v or_o violence_n offer_v or_o right_n detain_v i_o can_v by_o the_o law_n of_o nation_n quarrel_n with_o a_o man_n because_o he_o go_v before_o i_o in_o the_o road_n find_v a_o piece_n of_o gold_n which_o possible_o if_o he_o have_v not_o take_v it_o up_o i_o may_v have_v light_a upon_o and_o get_v it_o be_v true_a we_o often_o see_v war_n commence_v on_o this_o account_n underhand_o and_o on_o emulation_n in_o trade_n and_o riches_n but_o then_o this_o be_v never_o make_v the_o open_a pretence_n some_o other_o colour_v it_o must_v receive_v or_o else_o it_o will_v not_o look_v fair_a which_o show_v plain_o that_o this_o pretence_n of_o be_v prejudicial_a or_o of_o reap_v advantage_n which_o otherwise_o you_o may_v partake_v of_o be_v not_o justifiable_a in_o itself_o but_o grant_v that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a justification_n of_o a_o war_n with_o a_o foreign_a nation_n it_o will_v make_v nothing_o in_o the_o case_n between_o england_n and_o ireland_n for_o if_o it_o do_v why_o do_v it_o not_o operate_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n between_o england_n and_o scotland_n and_o consequent_o in_o like_a manner_n draw_v after_o it_o england_n bind_v scotland_n by_o their_o law_n at_o westminster_n we_o be_v all_o the_o same_o king_n subject_n the_o child_n of_o one_o common_a parent_n and_o though_o we_o may_v have_v our_o distinct_a right_n and_o inheritance_n absolute_o within_o ourselves_o yet_o we_o ought_v not_o when_o these_o do_v chance_v a_o little_a to_o interfere_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o one_o or_o other_o side_n immediate_o to_o treat_v one_o another_o as_o enemy_n fair_a amicable_a proposition_n shall_v be_v propose_v and_o when_o these_o be_v not_o hearken_v to_o then_o it_o be_v time_n enough_o to_o be_v at_o enmity_n and_o use_v force_n the_o last_o thing_n i_o shall_v take_v notice_n colony_n of_o that_o some_o raise_v against_o we_o be_v that_o ireland_n be_v to_o be_v look_v upon_o only_a as_o a_o colony_n from_o england_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o roman_a colony_n be_v subject_a to_o and_o bind_v by_o the_o law_n make_v by_o the_o senate_n at_o rome_n so_o ought_v ireland_n by_o those_o make_v by_o the_o great_a council_n at_o westminster_n of_o all_o the_o objection_n raise_v against_o we_o i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v the_o most_o extravagant_a it_o seem_v not_o to_o have_v the_o least_o foundation_n or_o colour_n from_o reason_n or_o record_v do_v it_o not_o manifest_o appear_v by_o the_o constitution_n of_o ireland_n that_o it_o be_v a_o complete_a kingdom_n within_o itself_o do_v not_o the_o king_n of_o england_n bear_v the_o style_n of_o ireland_n among_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o kingdom_n be_v this_o agreeable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o colony_n do_v they_o use_v the_o title_n of_o king_n of_o virginia_n new-england_n or_o mary-land_n be_v not_o ireland_n give_v by_o henry_n the_o second_o in_o a_o parliament_n at_o oxford_n to_o his_o son_n john_n and_o make_v thereby_o a_o absolute_a kingdom_n separate_a and_o whole_o independent_a on_o england_n till_o they_o both_o come_v unite_v again_o in_o he_o after_o the_o death_n of_o his_o brother_n richard_n without_o issue_n have_v not_o multitude_n of_o act_n of_o parliament_n both_o in_o england_n and_o ireland_n declare_v ireland_n a_o complete_a kingdom_n be_v not_o ireland_n style_v in_o they_o all_o the_o kingdom_n or_o realm_n of_o ireland_n do_v these_o name_n agree_v to_o a_o colony_n have_v we_o not_o a_o parliament_n and_o court_n of_o judicature_n do_v these_o thing_n agree_v with_o a_o colony_n this_o on_o all_o hand_n involve_v so_o many_o absurdity_n that_o i_o think_v it_o deserve_v nothing_o more_o of_o our_o consideration_n these_o be_v the_o only_a remain_a argument_n that_o be_v sometime_o mention_v against_o we_o i_o now_o proceed_v to_o offer_v what_o i_o humble_o conceive_v demonstrate_v the_o justice_n of_o our_o cause_n and_o herein_o i_o must_v beg_v the_o reader_n be_v patience_n if_o now_o and_o then_o i_o be_o force_v light_o to_o touch_v upon_o some_o particular_n forego_v i_o shall_v endeavour_v all_o i_o can_v to_o avoid_v prolix_a repetition_n but_o my_o subject_n require_v that_o sometime_o i_o just_a mention_n or_o refer_v to_o several_a note_n before_o deliver_v first_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o ireland_n shall_v be_v bind_v by_o
