the_o case_n of_o several_n of_o his_o majesty_n subject_n in_o ireland_n common_o call_v protectee_n most_o humble_o offer_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o both_o house_n of_o parliament_n i_o

the_o various_a complaint_n of_o their_o several_a class_n there_o and_o upon_o the_o whole_a it_o appear_v to_o i_o that_o those_o call_v protectee_n as_o well_o in_o relation_n to_o their_o
