A74937	The interest of England in the Irish transplantation, stated wherein is held forth (to all concerned in Irelands good settlement) the benefits the Irish transplantation will bring to each of them in particular, and to the Common-wealth in general, being chiefly intended as an answer to a scandalous, seditious pamphlet, entituled, The great case of transplantation in Ireland discussed. Composed and published at the request of several persons in eminent place in Ireland, to the end all who desire it, might have a true account of the proceedings that have been there in the business of transplantation, both as to the rise, progress, and end thereof. By a faithfull servant of the Common-wealth, Richard Laurence.	Lawrence, Richard, d. 1684.	1655 (1655)	Wing L678; Thomason E829_17; ESTC R179375	23,297	35

and_o it_o be_v my_o judgement_n it_o will_v not_o be_v safe_a to_o admit_v in_o any_o english_a plantation_n above_o the_o five_o part_n to_o be_v irish_a papist_n either_o in_o the_o capacity_n of_o

their_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o protestant_a religion_n and_o english_a civil_a manner_n and_o custom_n for_o though_o the_o lord_n have_v be_v please_v so_o far_o to_o own_o the_o english_a cause_n and_o interest_n in_o the_o late_a war_n that_o they_o have_v be_v able_a to_o engage_v they_o with_o far_o less_o number_n that_o one_o have_v put_v ten_o and_o ten_o one_o hundred_o to_o flight_n yet_o in_o the_o work_n of_o surprizing_n and_o unexpected_a assault_n and_o inroad_n upon_o the_o english_a the_o irish_a have_v be_v usual_o more_o expert_a and_o vigilant_a for_o the_o irish_a be_v

they_o and_o fall_v into_o their_o assistance_n will_v much_o add_v to_o their_o encouragement_n to_o attempt_v mischief_n upon_o the_o english_a with_o or_o among_o who_o they_o live_v though_o

to_o the_o security_n of_o the_o english_a interest_n and_o people_n there_o so_o that_o now_o the_o question_n must_v be_v confine_v to_o the_o extent_n and_o manner_n of_o this_o transplantation_n whether_o it_o shall_v be_v total_a and_o universal_a or_o a_o partial_a transplantation_n and_o if_o but_o a_o part_n what_o part_n or_o which_o part_n and_o second_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n

be_v say_v before_o all_o public_a paper_n relate_v to_o transplantation_n confine_v that_o work_n to_o proprietor_n and_o man_n in_o arm_n and_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v not_o as_o the_o

viz._n what_o part_n that_o be_v and_o how_o many_o and_o what_o sort_n of_o person_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v transplant_v first_o as_o to_o the_o number_n that_o be_v require_v to_o remove_v or_o transplant_v i_o judge_v a_o less_o number_n than_o what_o be_v intend_v and_o appoint_v be_v not_o safe_a if_o so_o little_a for_o the_o proprietor_n and_o interest_v person_n in_o land_n with_o all_o relate_n to_o they_o require_v to_o remove_v with_o they_o can_v be_v rational_o judge_v near_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n for_o the_o land_n of_o ireland_n be_v most_o general_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o nobleman_n and_o chief_a gentry_n who_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n except_v person_n for_o life_n and_o estate_n or_o under_o banishment_n by_o the_o act_n of_o settlement_n the_o remain_a part_n be_v very_o inconsiderable_a for_o number_n and_o for_o person_n that_o have_v be_v in_o arm_n though_o there_o be_v too_o many_o of_o they_o yet_o in_o ireland_n yet_o much_o the_o great_a part_n of_o they_o be_v transport_v into_o foreign_a nation_n so_o that_o though_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o determine_v the_o number_n of_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o person_n yet_o any_o man_n that_o know_v the_o state_n of_o ireland_n must_v acknowledge_v they_o be_v probable_o so_o inconsiderable_a that_o they_o will_v not_o be_v miss_v or_o discern_v as_o to_o

to_o the_o number_n doubtless_o if_o any_o at_o all_o it_o be_v not_o rational_a to_o think_v of_o less_o than_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o person_n will_v amount_v unto_o but_o second_o as_o to_o the_o person_n themselves_o why_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o person_n rather_o than_o other_o i_o answer_v first_o for_o the_o man_n in_o arm_n i_o judge_v there_o be_v not_o much_o scruple_n that_o this_o one_o reason_n if_o there_o be_v no_o more_o may_v serve_v that_o they_o have_v have_v their_o hand_n imbrue_v in_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o english_a in_o the_o late_a in_o humane_a
