and_o assure_v aswell_o in_o their_o loyalty_n to_o their_o prince_n as_o in_o their_o love_n to_o their_o country_n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o their_o counsel_n and_o consultation_n they_o more_o

especial_o if_o they_o be_v bound_v or_o border_v upon_o he_o for_o he_o think_v by_o these_o mean_n not_o only_o to_o save_v his_o land_n and_o tenemente_n from_o the_o spoil_n of_o the_o party_n

a_o second_o reason_n that_o induce_v the_o english_a to_o be_v so_o undertake_v for_o the_o irish_a be_v ground_v upon_o consideration_n peradventure_o some_o hundred_o cow_n some_o time_n more_o and_o sometime_o less_o for_o gift_n and_o present_n though_o they_o consist_v but_o in_o cow_n in_o horse_n or_o in_o ready_a money_n itself_o will_v be_v receive_v and_o he_o that_o know_v how_o to_o steal_v from_o ove_z and_o what_o to_o give_v to_o another_o shall_v find_v friend_n now_o a_o three_o reason_n and_o that_o which_o most_o enforce_v the_o english_a to_o stand_v so_o firm_a for_o the_o irish_a be_v for_o that_o it_o concern_v our_o own_o freehold_n for_o we_o be_v so_o link_v and_o combine_v with_o they_o what_o by_o marryeng_v what_o by_o foster_a and_o what_o by_o
