the_o irish_a massacre_n or_o a_o true_a narative_n of_o the_o unparalleled_a cruelty_n exercise_v in_o ireland_n upon_o the_o british_a protestant_n etc._n etc._n that_o causeless_a antipathy_n

reason_n rather_o lead_v i_o to_o impute_v the_o fault_n hereof_o to_o those_o few_o which_o be_v entrust_v with_o government_n forasmuch_o as_o these_o scarce_o ever_o think_v their_o authority_n full_a enough_o for_o that_o end_n which_o the_o diffusive_a body_n of_o the_o people_n aim_v at_o be_v probable_o its_o own_o weal_n and_o this_o be_v no_o improper_a or_o just_a end_n nor_o be_v

oftentimes_o extend_v no_o further_a than_o to_o their_o own_o person_n or_o family_n and_o this_o ever_o remain_v improper_a or_o unjust_a because_o it_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o welfare_n of_o those_o which_o be_v place_v below_o they_o irrational_a creature_n by_o instinct_n of_o nature_n be_v direct_v to_o that_o which_o be_v their_o peculiar_a good_a wherefore_o if_o we_o degrade_v the_o multitude_n to_o a_o brutish_a condition_n if_o we_o deny_v they_o reason_n and_o if_o under_o the_o name_n of_o multitude_n we_o comprehend_v also_o all_o that_o be_v not_o invest_v with_o supreme_a

that_o the_o gross_a number_n may_v act_v as_o regular_o and_o pursue_v as_o just_a end_n as_o those_o which_o be_v deep_a read_v in_o politic_n and_o as_o for_o story_n and_o antiquity_n in_o all_o

in_o my_o conceit_n the_o first_o move_v cause_n which_o imbroyle_v we_o all_o be_v the_o same_o pretence_n of_o sovereignty_n which_o have_v always_o produce_v the_o like_a effect_n else_o where_o
