milling_n frize_v stocking_n and_o the_o like_a than_o in_o any_o considerable_a part_n of_o their_o trade_n i_o never_o hear_v that_o any_o papist_n hear_v attempt_v the_o die_v or_o press_v part_n so_o that_o in_o the_o whole_a clothing_n trade_n none_o of_o the_o papist_n faction_n except_o the_o female_n and_o a_o very_a few_o of_o the_o man_n be_v admit_v the_o irish_a friar_n and_o priest_n be_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o the_o late_a king_n james_n so_o sensible_a hereof_o that_o on_o all_o holiday_n they_o strict_o prohibit_v their_o spinner_n and_o weaver_n work_v and_o will_v sometime_o enter_v their_o cabin_n and_o if_o they_o find_v they_o at_o it_o break_v their_o tool_n say_v that_o work_n be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o increase_v and_o maintain_v the_o heretic_n and_o so_o fearful_a be_v the_o chief_a of_o the_o irish_a that_o the_o comber_n will_v take_v arm_n and_o rise_v that_o they_o be_v extreme_o glad_a when_o they_o see_v they_o for_o want_v of_o other_o

themselves_o good_a reason_n for_o it_o first_o that_o they_o can_v depend_v on_o their_o honesty_n for_o such_o protestant_a master_n as_o for_o a_o present_a reward_n or_o a_o extraordinary_a long_a time_n of_o service_n have_v take_v a_o apprentice_n of_o popish_a education_n though_o his_o religion_n be_v to_o lie_v dormant_a with_o his_o friend_n till_o he_o have_v learn_v his_o trade_n find_v to_o their_o cost_n that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v keep_v from_o steal_v the_o wool_n worsted_n yarn_n and_o what_o else_o they_o can_v purloin_v now_o though_o steal_v be_v esteem_v a_o peccadillo_n among_o papist_n irish_a especial_o yet_o in_o the_o clothing_n trade_n it_o be_v a_o unpardonable_a fault_n the_o offender_n be_v certain_o ruin_v there_o the_o whole_a fraternity_n abhor_v he_o and_o he_o must_v seek_v new_a ground_n where_o a_o thousand_o to_o one_o but_o fame_n will_v overtake_v he_o and_o though_o he_o may_v wander_v like_o cain_n yet_o his_o gild_n and_o punishment_n will_v be_v in_o pursuit_n but_o second_o if_o this_o apprentice_n serve_v his_o time_n and_o learn_v his_o trade_n the_o next_o thing_n he_o will_v do_v be_v to_o lower_v the_o price_n of_o his_o

and_o belly_n for_o as_o the_o irish_a papist_n have_v no_o other_o way_n to_o outdo_v the_o english_a protestant_n but_o do_v cheaper_o so_o they_o will_v not_o fail_v to_o do_v that_o know_v how_o

the_o caâ—â—e_n will_v sure_o go_v for_o the_o papist_n for_o this_o reason_n our_o clothier_n be_v on_o their_o gâ—ard_n not_o to_o suffer_v their_o trade_n to_o fall_v into_o papist_n hand_n know_v

their_o safety_n profit_n and_o plenty_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v our_o city_n and_o town_n be_v now_o more_o full_o inhabit_a by_o protestant_n than_o ever_o and_o thin_a of_o papist_n however_o there_o be_v a_o remarkable_a difference_n between_o the_o city_n and_o town_n where_o the_o woollen_a manufacture_n be_v and_o where_o they_o be_v not_o where_o they_o be_v there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a trade_n and_o that_o in_o the_o hand_n of_o protestant_a merchant_n and_o factor_n but_o where_o the_o manufacture_n be_v inconsiderable_a the_o other_o trade_n as_o the_o exportation_n of_o hides_n tallow_n butter_n and_o the_o like_a gross_a commodity_n be_v almost_o if_o not_o altogether_o as_o much_o manage_v by_o papist_n as_o protestant_n for_o that_o the_o irish_a merchant_n and_o factor_n abroad_o do_v all_o they_o can_v to_o maintain_v a_o correspondence_n and_o trade_n with_o their_o friend_n and_o relation_n that_o stay_v in_o ireland_n i_o have_v consider_v how_o it_o shall_v so_o happen_v that_o manufacture_n shall_v so_o much_o more_o thrive_v in_o protestant_n than_o in_o papist_n country_n and_o that_o even_o where_o popery_n be_v regnant_n and_o protestantism_n scarce_o permit_v the_o protestant_n prevail_v where_o not_o violent_o hinder_v to_o get_v the_o trade_n and_o consequent_o riches_n and_o reputation_n to_o themselves_o one_o cause_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v that_o the_o reform_a not_o be_v at_o all_o delight_v with_o the_o gaudery_n and_o pompous_a procession_n of_o the_o romish_a church_n remain_v at_o their_o trade_n and_o occupation_n when_o the_o papist_n of_o the_o same_o trade_n be_v spend_v their_o time_n either_o in_o attend_v or_o assist_v those_o glorious_a show_n the_o idleness_n and_o priâ—e_n whereof_o influence_v by_o the_o many_o holiday_n make_v they_o very_o unwilling_o return_v to_o thâ—â—r_v labour_n which_o after_o that_o seem_v more_o poor_a and_o miserable_a 2._o that_o protestant_n be_v general_o more_o honest_a and_o punctual_a in_o their_o deal_n and_o no_o wonder_n for_o if_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o papist_n be_v disturb_v by_o his_o fraud_n or_o injustice_n perjury_n or_o oppression_n it_o can_v by_o the_o power_n or_o skill_n of_o a_o priest_n be_v much_o or_o quite_o â—â—â—â—ified_v appease_v and_o make_v gentle_a whereas_o the_o poor_a peccant_a proâ—stant_a haâ—_n no_o such_o salve_n for_o his_o sore_a he_o must_v make_v satisfaction_n and_o true_o repeat_v and_o tho_o protestant_n i_o fear_v do_v not_o general_o perform_v this_o part_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o they_o be_v bind_v when_o they_o have_v offend_v yet_o be_v they_o not_o so_o ready_a as_o the_o other_o to_o offend_v wherefore_o even_a papist_n themselves_o may_v and_o do_v deal_v more_o safe_o with_o protestant_n than_o with_o one_o another_o and_o this_o must_v necessary_o have_v many_o great_a advantage_n attend_v it_o according_a to_o that_o say_v honesty_n iâ—_n the_o best_a policy_n 3._o the_o papist_n especial_o the_o mean_a and_o more_o ignorant_a sort_n be_v extreme_o impoverish_v by_o their_o beg_n but_o greedy_a clergy_n by_o which_o mean_n they_o be_v make_v

condition_n low_a his_o hope_n and_o diligence_n lessen_v whilst_o the_o protestant_n find_v his_o labour_n prosper_v in_o his_o hand_n and_o be_v therefore_o enable_v and_o encourage_v to_o continue_v and_o increase_v his_o industry_n i_o remember_v about_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o k._n charles_n h._n reign_n when_o popery_n begin_v to_o venture_v a_o little_a out_o of_o door_n that_o the_o prize_n of_o wool_n and_o woollen_a good_n will_v rise_v and_o fall_v just_a as_o the_o wind_n of_o hope_n and_o fear_v blow_n when_o the_o protestant_a cause_n be_v seem_o in_o favour_n than_o all_o hand_n at_o work_n and_o every_o thing_n sell_v off_o brave_o but_o when_o the_o roman_a party_n be_v a_o little_a uppish_a than_o all_o thing_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n tacit_o imply_v that_o manufacture_n and_o commerce_n have_v popery_n for_o their_o implacable_a enemy_n man_n that_o can_v get_v their_o live_n honest_o by_o their_o own_o industry_n have_v a_o value_n and_o good_a

they_o know_v popery_n must_v and_o will_v do_v for_o if_o man_n be_v permit_v to_o make_v use_n of_o their_o own_o sense_n and_o reason_n which_o nothing_o but_o truth_n will_v admit_v of_o and_o
