french_a we_o will_v forgive_v he_o one_o blunder_n however_o if_o he_o will_v take_v care_n what_o he_o write_v hereafter_o but_o i_o admire_v how_o this_o gentleman_n make_v the_o conquest_n of_o ireland_n and_o a_o war_n with_o france_n the_o same_o thing_n for_o i_o take_v they_o to_o be_v distinct_a ireland_n be_v our_o own_o country_n and_o when_o we_o fight_v for_o that_o we_o fight_v for_o what_o be_v immediate_a ely_z our_o own_o we_o be_v not_o at_o war_n with_o france_n or_o any_o foreign_a prince_n we_o be_v reduce_v a_o people_n who_o be_v in_o actual_a rebellion_n to_o the_o crown_n of_o england_n but_o we_o will_v not_o quarrel_v about_o term_n though_o by_o the_o way_n the_o misery_n and_o hardship_n our_o fellow_n subject_n of_o ireland_n feel_v shall_v make_v we_o terrible_o afraid_a of_o give_v any_o neighbour_a prince_n the_o least_o hope_n of_o succeed_a in_o any_o attempt_n upon_o we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o undeniable_a maxim_n that_o opportunity_n make_v the_o thief_n and_o by_o disband_v our_o troop_n we_o may_v possible_o give_v some_o ground_n for_o hope_n of_o success_n to_o a_o prince_n natural_o aspire_a and_o ambitious_a and_o very_o apt_a to_o fancy_v himself_o capable_a of_o do_v more_o than_o he_o be_v able_a but_o to_o return_v i_o will_v ask_v this_o gentleman_n how_o he_o come_v to_o be_v so_o sure_a that_o the_o parliament_n think_v to_o have_v manage_v their_o share_n of_o this_o war_n by_o a_o fleet_n at_o sea_n which_o he_o so_o positive_o assert_n we_o be_v all_o sure_a that_o the_o parliament_n of_o england_n be_v of_o another_o mind_n in_o former_a day_n or_o they_o will_v never_o have_v contribute_v so_o large_o and_o liberal_o towards_o a_o invasion_n of_o france_n as_o they_o often_o do_v nay_o in_o all_o our_o history_n i_o never_o find_v they_o ever_o part_v with_o their_o money_n more_o hearty_o than_o when_o it_o be_v for_o a_o war_n with_o that_o country_n and_o yet_o they_o never_o so_o much_o as_o dream_v of_o their_o carry_v on_o a_o war_n only_o by_o a_o fleet_n at_o sea_n but_o quite_o the_o contrary_a for_o we_o all_o of_o we_o know_v that_o our_o king_n very_o frequent_o transport_v great_a army_n over_o into_o flanders_n normandy_n or_o some_o part_n of_o france_n think_v it_o more_o adviseable_a to_o seat_v the_o war_n in_o a_o enemy_n country_n rather_o than_o their_o own_o to_o give_v some_o instance_n william_n the_o conqueror_n enter_v france_n with_o a_o great_a army_n william_n rufus_n invade_v normandy_n so_o do_v henry_n the_o v._o and_o richard_n the_o i._o henry_n the_o iii_o twice_o transport_v great_a army_n over_o to_o france_n edward_n the_o i._o twice_o invade_v france_n there_o be_v no_o less_o than_o five_o several_a army_n transport_v over_o to_o france_n in_o the_o reign_n of_o edward_n the_o ii_o henry_n the_o v._o have_v continual_o a_o army_n in_o france_n many_o more_o instance_n may_v be_v give_v of_o the_o like_a nature_n but_o these_o be_v enough_o to_o let_v we_o see_v that_o in_o former_a time_n our_o parliament_n think_v it_o no_o diminution_n to_o their_o wisdom_n to_o carry_v on_o their_o war_n in_o foreign_a part_n by_o land-force_n though_o in_o those_o day_n they_o be_v confess_o strong_a at_o sea_n than_o any_o of_o their_o neighbour_n and_o among_o all_o our_o prince_n we_o find_v none_o more_o belove_v and_o extol_v than_o those_o martial_a monarch_n who_o transport_v and_o head_v their_o english_a army_n in_o foreign_a part_n beside_o whoever_o do_v but_o consider_v how_o liberal_o and_o large_o our_o late_a parliament_n have_v contribute_v towards_o the_o expense_n of_o a_o ten_o year_n war_n and_o what_o a_o happy_a agreement_n and_o union_n there_o have_v be_v all_o along_o betwixt_o the_o king_n and_o they_o i_o say_v whoever_o consider_v this_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n believe_v he_o speak_v truth_n when_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o parliament_n think_v they_o may_v have_v manage_v their_o share_n of_o the_o war_n with_o france_n by_o a_o fleet_n at_o sea_n and_o that_o they_o think_v the_o raise_v a_o land_n force_v a_o bitter_a pill_n i_o think_v this_o gentleman_n shall_v be_v require_v to_o give_v a_o more_o public_a account_n of_o this_o assertion_n to_o make_v we_o believe_v the_o king_n out-witted_n the_o parliament_n and_o that_o the_o parliament_n themselves_o act_v disagreeable_o to_o their_o own_o opinion_n this_o be_v a_o new_a contrivance_n and_o may_v in_o time_n produce_v very_o evil_a consequence_n but_o i_o hope_v man_n of_o sense_n will_v take_v care_n how_o they_o be_v cajole_v by_o such_o horrid_a insinuation_n well_o now_o he_o come_v to_o his_o dear_a belove_a militia_n and_o tell_v we_o what_o wonder_n be_v do_v in_o ireland_n by_o the_o iniskilling-man_n and_o those_o of_o londonderry_n but_o pray_v let_v we_o stop_v a_o little_a to_o consider_v the_o matter_n and_o not_o suffer_v this_o phamphleteer_n to_o run_v away_o with_o noise_n and_o nonsense_n the_o iniskilling_a man_n be_v people_n make_v desperate_a by_o the_o ruin_n of_o their_o estate_n and_o fortune_n almost_o weary_a of_o their_o life_n by_o the_o cruelty_n and_o hardship_n they_o suffer_v from_o the_o irish_a papist_n have_v the_o cry_v of_o their_o wife_n and_o child_n labour_v under_o the_o great_a misery_n ever_o in_o their_o ear_n and_o the_o deplorable_a condition_n of_o their_o native_a country_n before_o their_o eye_n beside_o they_o be_v not_o a_o militia_n as_o our_o author_n false_o boast_v but_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n gentleman_n and_o other_o that_o sle_z from_o the_o barbarity_n of_o the_o irish_a papist_n from_o all_o part_n of_o ireland_n and_o gather_v in_o a_o body_n for_o their_o security_n at_o iniskilling_a and_o great_a number_n of_o they_o officer_n and_o private_a soldier_n of_o the_o army_n who_o tryconnel_n have_v disband_v because_o protestant_n man_n that_o have_v be_v in_o pay_n and_o discipline_n a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o reign_n of_o king_n chales_fw-la the_o ii_o so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o mistake_n to_o say_v they_o be_v a_o militia_n far_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v who_o they_o fight_v with_o there_o be_v none_o will_v wonder_v at_o what_o they_o do_v they_o encounter_v poor_a senseless_a wretch_n that_o know_v not_o their_o right_a hand_n from_o their_o left_a and_o always_o look_v behind_o they_o when_o they_o draw_v their_o sword_n and_o if_o these_o be_v the_o wonder_v they_o boast_v of_o they_o have_v as_o good_a be_v silent_a and_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o matter_n in_o the_o next_o page_n he_o say_v at_o last_o by_o our_o great_a army_n and_o fleet_n and_o the_o constant_a expense_n of_o maintain_v they_o we_o be_v too_o hard_o for_o the_o

we_o have_v very_o little_a reason_n to_o complain_v and_o if_o our_o fleet_n and_o army_n procure_v we_o this_o peace_n they_o only_o can_v preserve_v it_o by_o part_v with_o either_o we_o make_v it_o precarious_a and_o to_o depend_v mere_o on_o the_o generosity_n of_o a_o enemy_n who_o be_v not_o use_v to_o be_v firm_a to_o his_o word_n than_o his_o interest_n several_a true_a sensible_a

on_o the_o contrary_a the_o soon_o we_o disband_v they_o the_o soon_o we_o shall_v be_v put_v to_o the_o trouble_n and_o charge_n of_o raise_v new_a for_o it_o be_v certain_o true_a that_o that_o nation_n which_o be_v most_o able_a to_o wage_v war_n will_v be_v the_o unlikely_a to_o be_v put_v to_o the_o trouble_n of_o it_o but_o here_o he_o say_v i_o shall_v omit_v give_v any_o account_n of_o the_o conduct_n of_o our_o fleet_n during_o this_o war_n how_o few_o advantage_n we_o reap_v by_o it_o and_o how_o many_o occasion_n be_v lose_v of_o destroy_v the_o french_a only_o thus_o much_o i_o will_v observe_v that_o though_o a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o may_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o negligence_n ignorance_n or_o treachery_n of_o inferior_a officer_n yet_o it_o can_v not_o universal_o
