for_o that_o they_o believe_v the_o people_n will_v receive_v every_o thing_n for_o truth_n they_o say_v which_o they_o have_v too_o well_o teach_v they_o and_o god_n know_v the_o people_n be_v too_o

we_o know_v you_o think_v not_o so_o you_o reckon_v yourselves_o and_o yourselves_o only_o the_o pillar_n and_o supporter_n thereof_o and_o these_o as_o far_o as_o they_o have_v the_o exercise_n of_o

you_o love_v to_o mix_v thing_n for_o your_o advantage_n but_o to_o your_o logic_n here_o be_v your_o argument_n the_o design_n be_v to_o extirpate_v the_o catholic_a religion_n but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v but_o by_o the_o massacre_a banish_v or_o otherwise_o destroy_v the_o catholic_a inhabitant_n ergo_fw-la it_o be_v design_v to_o massacre_n banish_v and_o destroy_v the_o

that_o whither_o your_o religion_n be_v true_a or_o false_a this_o will_v not_o follow_v if_o your_o religion_n be_v the_o true_a religion_n yet_o it_o a_o nation_n may_v degenerate_v from_o the_o true_a religion_n and_o apostatiz_n as_o too_o many_o have_v do_v through_o the_o seducement_n of_o your_o roman_a church_n than_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o man_n must_v be_v massacre_v banish_a or_o otherwise_o destroy_v necessary_o no_o not_o as_o to_o the_o change_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n in_o a_o nation_n or_o country_n only_o this_o argument_n do_v wonderful_o well_o agree_v with_o your_o principle_n and_o practice_n you_o have_v chief_o make_v use_n of_o fire_n and_o sword_n in_o all_o the_o change_n in_o religion_n that_o you_o have_v make_v in_o the_o world_n if_o it_o be_v change_v of_o your_o catholic_a religion_n so_o call_v it_o will_v not_o follow_v because_o there_o may_v be_v find_v out_o another_o mean_n then_o massacre_a destruction_n and_o banishment_n to_o wit_v the_o word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v able_a to_o convert_v a_o mean_n that_o you_o as_o little_o know_v as_o practise_v which_o indeed_o you_o deprive_v the_o people_n of_o together_o with_o humanity_n good_a life_n equal_a and_o honest_a deal_n with_o man_n of_o a_o different_a opinion_n which_o we_o desire_v to_o exercise_v towards_o this_o poor_a people_n if_o you_o by_o your_o wicked_a council_n make_v they_o not_o uncapable_a to_o receive_v it_o by_o put_v they_o into_o blood_n and_o therefore_o by_o this_o also_o your_o false_a and_o twist_a deal_n may_v be_v a_o little_a discover_v but_o well_o your_o word_n be_v massacre_n destroy_v and_o banish_v good_a now_o give_v we_o a_o instance_n of_o one_o man_n since_o my_o come_n into_o ireland_n not_o in_o

must_v now_o speak_v unto_o the_o people_n who_o you_o will_v delude_v and_o who_o this_o most_o concern_v that_o they_o may_v know_v in_o this_o also_o what_o to_o expect_v at_o my_o hand_n the_o question_n be_v of_o the_o destruction_n of_o life_n or_o of_o that_o which_o be_v but_o little_a inferior_a to_o it_o to_o wit_n banishment_n i_o shall_v not_o willing_o take_v or_o suffer_v to_o
