of_o ireland_n be_v at_o present_a inhabit_v by_o people_n from_o scotland_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o may_v be_v because_o of_o the_o vicinity_n of_o those_o two_o nation_n at_o that_o place_n they_o not_o be_v three_o hour_n sail_v asunder_o or_o else_o it_o be_v because_o in_o the_o nine_o year_n of_o king_n james_n the_o first_o the_o north_n of_o ireland_n be_v then_o in_o rebellion_n
