forceless_a and_o ineffectual_a indeed_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a or_o probable_a that_o the_o return_v of_o a_o few_o into_o a_o desolate_a and_o ruin_a country_n will_v tend_v to_o the_o

that_o when_o our_o king_n have_v throw_v off_o all_o dependency_n and_o correspondence_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n the_o projector_n will_v have_v he_o to_o take_v pattern_n from_o the_o

their_o reputation_n as_o the_o ill-natured_a projector_n assume_v to_o himself_o p._n 20._o in_o his_o epilogue_n to_o that_o libel_n by_o which_o he_o have_v asperse_v the_o honour_n of_o a_o

the_o most_o ignorant_a of_o we_o can_v disprove_v he_o for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o army_n encamp_v near_o to_o colrane_n belturbet_n eniskilling_n or_o londonderry_n yet_o in_o each_o of_o

why_o will_v he_o shoot_v thus_o at_o random_n with_o what_o confidence_n can_v he_o aver_v that_o there_o be_v not_o in_o derry_n twenty_o house_n uninhabitable_a when_o if_o he_o have_v inquire_v of_o twenty_o person_n now_o resident_a in_o london_n who_o endure_v all_o the_o misery_n of_o the_o siege_n and_o be_v spectator_n of_o the_o desolation_n of_o that_o place_n they_o will_v have_v

the_o city_n be_v very_o populous_a and_o full_a of_o trade_n when_o there_o be_v more_o house_n in_o the_o suburb_n than_o within_o the_o wall_n there_o be_v seven_o company_n quarter_v there_o which_o hardly_o will_v make_v up_o four_o hundred_o man_n the_o inhabitant_n grumble_v and_o complain_v grievous_o of_o it_o this_o i_o do_v aver_v upon_o my_o own_o certain_a knowledge_n what_o a_o

such_o haste_n at_o the_o land_n of_o our_o army_n that_o they_o leave_v their_o corn_n ripe_a in_o the_o field_n it_o be_v as_o likely_a that_o they_o leave_v their_o plough-garrons_a behind_o they_o if_o they_o do_v so_o be_v it_o not_o more_o likely_a that_o they_o have_v be_v take_v up_o by_o our_o army_n who_o stand_v in_o such_o need_n of_o baggage-horse_n and_o can_v he_o imagine_v that_o the_o soldier_n will_v part_v with_o they_o for_o the_o business_n of_o the_o plough_n methinks_v this_o subtle_a contriver_n who_o have_v invent_v a_o new_a employment_n of_o itenerant_a supervisor_n to_o see_v the_o corn_n sow_v and_o reap_v shall_v have_v propound_v the_o send_n over_o two_o or_o three_o muleteer_n or_o commissary_n general_n to_o gather_v up_o the_o wander_a garron_n of_o the_o
