of_o their_o evil_a custom_n which_o you_o have_v now_o next_o to_o declare_v the_o which_o no_o doubt_n but_o be_v very_o bad_a be_v borrow_v from_o the_o irish_a as_o their_o apparel_n their_o language_n their_o ride_n and_o many_o other_o the_o like_a iren._n you_o can_v but_o hold_v they_o sure_a to_o be_v very_o uncivil_a for_o be_v they_o at_o the_o best_a that_o they_o be_v of_o old_a when_o they_o be_v bring_v in_o they_o shall_v in_o so_o long_a a_o alteration_n of_o time_n seem_v very_o uncouth_a and_o strange_a for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v that_o the_o use_n of_o all_o england_n be_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o henry_n the_o second_o when_o ireland_n be_v plant_v with_o english_a very_o rude_a and_o barbarous_a so_o as_o if_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v now_o use_v in_o england_n by_o any_o it_o will_v seem_v worthy_a of_o sharp_a correction_n and_o of_o new_a law_n for_o reformation_n for_o it_o be_v but_o even_o the_o other_o day_n since_o england_n grow_v civil_a therefore_o in_o count_v the_o evil_a custom_n of_o the_o english_a there_o i_o will_v not_o have_v regard_n whether_o the_o beginning_n thereof_o be_v english_a or_o irish_a but_o will_v have_v respect_n only_o to_o the_o inconvenience_n thereof_o and_o first_o i_o have_v to_o find_v fault_n with_o the_o abuse_n of_o language_n that_o be_v for_o the_o speak_n of_o irish_a among_o the_o english_a which_o as_o it_o be_v unnatural_a that_o any_o people_n shall_v love_v another_o language_n more_o than_o their_o own_o so_o it_o be_v very_o inconvenient_a and_o the_o cause_n of_o many_o other_o evil_n eudox._n it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o the_o english_a shall_v take_v more_o delight_n to_o speak_v that_o language_n than_o their_o own_o whereas_o they_o shall_v i_o think_v rather_o take_v scorn_n to_o acquaint_v their_o tongue_n thereto_o for_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v the_o use_n of_o the_o conqueror_n to_o despise_v the_o language_n of_o the_o conquer_a and_o to_o force_v he_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o learn_v he_o so_o do_v the_o roman_n always_o use_v insomuch_o that_o there_o be_v almost_o no_o nation_n in_o the_o world_n but_o be_v sprinkle_v with_o their_o language_n it_o be_v good_a therefore_o i_o seem_v to_o search_v out_o the_o original_a cause_n of_o this_o evil_a for_o the_o same_o be_v discover_v a_o redress_n thereof_o will_v the_o more_o easy_o be_v provide_v for_o i_o think_v it_o very_o strange_a that_o the_o english_a be_v so_o many_o and_o the_o irish_a so_o few_o as_o they_o then_o be_v leave_v the_o ●ewer_n shall_v draw_v the_o more_o unto_o their_o use_n iren._n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o bring_v in_o the_o irish_a language_n among_o they_o be_v special_o their_o foster_a and_o marry_a with_o the_o irish_a the_o which_o be_v two_o most_o dangerous_a infection_n for_o first_o the_o child_n that_o suck_v the_o milk_n of_o the_o nurse_n must_v of_o necessity_n learn_v his_o first_o speech_n of_o she_o the_o which_o be_v the_o first_o enure_v to_o his_o tongue_n be_v ever_o after_o most_o please_v unto_o he_o insomuch_o as_o though_o he_o afterward_o be_v teach_v english_a yet_o the_o smack_n of_o the_o first_o will_n always_o abide_v with_o he_o and_o not_o only_o of_o the_o speech_n but_o also_o of_o the_o manner_n and_o condition_n for_o beside_o that_o young_a child_n be_v like_a ape_n which_o will_v affect_v and_o imitate_v what_o they_o see_v do_v before_o they_o especial_o by_o their_o nurse_n who_o they_o love_v so_o well_o they_o moreover_o draw_v into_o themselves_o together_o with_o their_o suck_n even_o the_o nature_n and_o disposition_n of_o their_o nurse_n for_o the_o mind_n follow_v much_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n and_o also_o the_o word_n be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o mind_n so_o as_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o mind_n the_o mind_n must_v needs_o be_v affect_v with_o the_o word_n so_o that_o the_o speech_n be_v irish_a the_o heart_n must_v needs_o be_v irish_a for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o tongue_n speak_v the_o next_o be_v the_o marry_n with_o the_o irish_a which_o how_o dangerous_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v in_o all_o commonwealth_n appear_v to_o every_o simple_a sense_n and_o though_o some_o great_a one_o have_v perhaps_o use_v such_o match_n with_o their_o vassal_n and_o have_v of_o they_o nevertheless_o raise_v worthy_a issue_n as_o telamonius_n do_v with_o termessa_n alexander_n the_o great_a with_o roxane_n and_o julius_n caesar_n with_o cleopatra_n yet_o the_o example_n be_v so_o perilous_a as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v adventure_v for_o in_o stead_n of_o those_o few_o good_a i_o can_v count_v unto_o they_o infinite_a many_o evil_n and_o indeed_o how_o can_v such_o match_v succeed_v well_o see_v that_o common_o the_o child_n take_v most_o of_o his_o nature_n of_o the_o mother_n beside_o speech_n manner_n and_o inclynation_n which_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n agreeable_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o their_o mother_n for_o by_o they_o they_o be_v first_o frame_v and_o fashion_v so_o as_o what_o they_o receive_v once_o from_o they_o they_o will_v hardly_o ever_o after_o forgo_v therefore_o be_v these_o evil_a custom_n of_o foster_a and_o marry_v with_o the_o irish_a most_o careful_o to_o be_v restrain_v for_o of_o they_o two_o the_o three_o evil_n that_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o language_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o chief_o proceed_v eudox._n but_o be_v there_o not_o law_n already_o provide_v for_o avoid_v of_o this_o evil_n iren._n yes_o i_o think_v there_o be_v but_o as_o good_a never_o a_o whit_n as_o never_o the_o better_a for_o what_o do_v statute_n avail_v without_o penalty_n or_o law_n without_o charge_n of_o execution_n for_o so_o there_o be_v another_o like_a law_n enact_v against_o wear_v of_o the_o irish_a apparel_n but_o neverthemore_n be_v it_o observe_v by_o any_o or_o execute_v by_o they_o that_o have_v the_o charge_n for_o they_o in_o their_o private_a discretion_n think_v it_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v force_v upon_o the_o poor_a wretch_n of_o that_o country_n which_o be_v not_o worth_a the_o price_n of_o english_a apparel_n nor_o expedient_a to_o be_v practise_v against_o the_o able_a sort_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o country_n say_v they_o do_v yield_v no_o better_a and_o be_v there_o better_a to_o be_v have_v yet_o these_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v use_v as_o namely_o the_o mantle_n in_o travail_v because_o there_o be_v no_o inn_n where_o meet_a bed_n may_v be_v have_v so_o that_o his_o mantle_n serve_v he_o then_o for_o a_o bed_n the_o leather_n quilt_v jack_n in_o journey_v and_o in_o camp_a for_o that_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v under_o his_o shirt_n of_o male_a and_o for_o any_o occasion_n of_o sudden_a service_n as_o there_o happen_v many_o to_o cover_v his_o trouse_n on_o horseback_n the_o great_a linen_n roll_n which_o the_o woman_n wear_v to_o keep_v their_o head_n warm_a after_o cut_v their_o hair_n which_o they_o use_v in_o any_o sickness_n beside_o their_o thick_a fold_a linen_n shirt_n their_o long_a sleived_a smock_n their_o half_a sleived_a coat_n their_o silken_a fillet_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n they_o will_v devise_v some_o colour_n for_o either_o of_o necessity_n or_o of_o antiquity_n or_o of_o comeliness_n eudox._n but_o what_o colour_n soever_o they_o allege_v i_o think_v it_o not_o expedient_a that_o the_o execution_n of_o a_o law_n once_o ordain_v shall_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o discretion_n of_o the_o judge_n or_o officer_n but_o that_o without_o partiality_n or_o regard_n it_o shall_v be_v fulfil_v aswell_o on_o english_a as_o irish._n iren._n but_o they_o think_v this_o preciseness_n in_o reformation_n of_o apparel_n not_o to_o be_v so_o material_a or_o great_o pertinent_a eudox._n yes_o sure_o but_o it_o be_v for_o man_n apparel_n be_v common_o make_v according_a to_o their_o condition_n &_o their_o condition_n be_v oftentimes_o govern_v by_o their_o garment_n for_o the_o person_n that_o be_v gown_a be_v by_o his_o gown_n put_v in_o mind_n of_o gravity_n and_o also_o restrain_v from_o lightness_n by_o the_o very_a

and_o in_o stead_n of_o their_o warlike_a music_n appoint_v to_o they_o certain_a lascivious_a lay_n and_o loose_a jig_n by_o which_o in_o short_a space_n their_o mind_n be_v so_o mollify_v and_o
