real_o believe_v that_o in_o few_o year_n he_o will_v by_o some_o contrivance_n or_o other_o have_v give_v away_o most_o of_o the_o protestant_n estate_n in_o ireland_n without_o trouble_v a_o parliament_n to_o attaint_v they_o which_o be_v a_o more_o compendious_a but_o not_o a_o more_o certain_a way_n to_o destroy_v they_o than_o the_o method_n he_o take_v it_o be_v he_o that_o without_o hear_v after_o he_o have_v dissolve_v the_o corporation_n by_o give_v sentence_n against_o their_o charter_n declare_v void_a all_o the_o lease_n of_o land_n or_o of_o perquisites_n make_v by_o they_o though_o long_o before_o their_o dissolution_n and_o on_o very_o good_a consideration_n and_o thereupon_o out_v several_a protestant_n of_o their_o lease_n but_o it_o be_v endless_a to_o mention_v all_o the_o oppression_n and_o unjust_a proceed_n of_o this_o court_n it_o be_v in_o effect_n to_o transcribe_v the_o record_n of_o it_o let_v i_o only_o observe_v that_o the_o chief_a baron_n be_v

the_o king_n bench_n or_o exchequer_n and_o therefore_o they_o permit_v the_o lord_n chief_a justice_n keating_n still_o to_o sit_v in_o it_o but_o pinion_v with_o two_o of_o their_o own_o sort_n that_o if_o any_o thing_n shall_v chance_v to_o come_v before_o he_o he_o may_v be_v out-voted_n by_o they_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o be_v jealous_a of_o this_o court_n not_o only_o because_o a_o protestant_a be_v chief_a justice_n in_o it_o but_o likewise_o because_o judge_n dally_v sit_v as_o puny_a judge_n who_o though_o a_o roman_n catholic_n yet_o understand_v the_o common-law_n so_o well_o and_o behave_v himself_o so_o impartial_o that_o they_o do_v not_o care_n to_o bring_v their_o cause_n before_o he_o so_o much_o do_v they_o dread_v the_o prospect_n of_o justice_n though_o before_o judge_n that_o be_v of_o their_o own_o party_n and_o persuasion_n 8._o the_o circuit_n be_v a_o extension_n of_o the_o court_n whereby_o justice_n be_v carry_v into_o the_o country_n these_o be_v manage_v much_o at_o the_o same_o rate_n with_o the_o court_n and_o where_o the_o sheriff_n and_o judge_n be_v both_o papist_n it_o be_v not_o difficult_a to_o guess_v what_o justice_n protestant_n must_v expect_v what_o pack_v of_o jury_n there_o be_v among_o they_o and_o how_o deep_o the_o judge_n themselves_o be_v concern_v in_o such_o practice_n be_v evident_a to_o all_o that_o have_v any_o concern_v in_o the_o country_n at_o that_o time_n 9_o it_o will_v be_v requisite_a to_o say_v something_o of_o the_o attorney_n general_n which_o king_n james_n make_v instead_o of_o

when_o the_o perjury_n serve_v their_o interest_n and_o sure_o the_o protestant_n be_v in_o a_o ill_a case_n who_o life_n and_o fortune_n lay_v at_o the_o mercy_n of_o such_o judge_n and_o jury_n

sir_n richard_n nagle_n be_v the_o speaker_n of_o the_o house_n of_o commons_o in_o their_o pretend_a parliament_n and_o have_v the_o chief_a hand_n in_o draw_v up_o their_o act_n king_n james_n
