a_o pardon_n to_o the_o chief_a lord_n and_o man_n of_o estate_n will_v not_o affect_v the_o army_n for_o that_o few_o of_o they_o be_v consider_v there_o as_o soldier_n in_o regard_n that_o other_o man_n subordinate_a to_o they_o be_v the_o commander_n and_o leader_n in_o the_o army_n so_o that_o pardon_v they_o secure_v not_o the_o man_n of_o action_n who_o lie_v under_o such_o circumstance_n as_o a_o general_a pardon_n will_v not_o free_v they_o from_o second_o a_o pardon_n for_o all_o crime_n and_o misdemeanour_n relate_v to_o the_o crown_n will_v be_v no_o security_n to_o the_o private_a soldier_n captain_n lieutenant_n etc._n etc._n my_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o all_o the_o robbery_n and_o spoil_n do_v to_o the_o english_a be_v commit_v by_o such_o though_o at_o the_o secret_a instigation_n and_o encouragement_n of_o their_o great_a one_o now_o the_o english_a can_v prefer_v a_o action_n at_o law_n against_o any_o but_o these_o private_a man_n and_o if_o thereby_o they_o become_v oblige_v as_o in_o justice_n they_o ought_v to_o make_v restitution_n of_o what_o they_o have_v make_v a_o violent_a seizure_n from_o the_o other_o that_o must_v certain_o bring_v on_o their_o inevitable_a ruin_n which_o will_v make_v it_o as_o equal_v to_o they_o to_o die_v in_o the_o field_n as_o in_o a_o gaol_n and_o now_o as_o to_o the_o second_o motive_n that_o a_o general_n pardon_n will_v prevent_v burn_v and_o other_o devastation_n i_o answer_v that_o it_o will_v have_v the_o quite_o contrary_a effect_n and_o consequent_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o more_o mischief_n which_o i_o undertake_v to_o demonstrate_v from_o the_o follow_a reason_n first_o it_o be_v a_o unalterable_a maxim_n rivet_v among_o ●em_v as_o well_o by_o the_o principle_n of_o their_o religion_n as_o natural_a genius_n and_o common_a custom_n to_o do_v as_o much_o mischief_n as_o they_o possible_o can_v to_o the_o protestant_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o receive_v a_o account_n of_o this_o pardon_n will_v be_v very_o industrious_a to_o leave_v what_o mark_n they_o can_v of_o their_o inveterate_a fury_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o effect_v this_o in_o a_o day_n time_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n and_o yet_o keep_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o their_o pardon_n second_o this_o general_a pardon_n will_v not_o prevent_v burn_v and_o other_o destructive_a art_n of_o the_o english_a plantation_n but_o rather_o promote_v they_o for_o that_o their_o lord_n be_v reinve_v in_o their_o estate_n will_v consider_v that_o if_o the_o english_a house_n and_o improvement_n be_v destroy_v their_o estate_n will_v be_v the_o soon_o inhabit_v for_o that_o the_o english_a come_v in_o poor_a will_v have_v nothing_o to_o build_v or_o improve_v their_o estate_n so_o that_o in_o course_n the_o irish_a land_n must_v be_v first_o people_v for_o these_o reason_n it_o seem_v evident_a that_o a_o general_n pardon_n will_v not_o have_v the_o effect_n propose_v neither_o as_o to_o the_o more_o expeditious_a reduction_n of_o that_o kingdom_n nor_o for_o the_o prevent_n of_o the_o ruin_n and_o devastation_n fear_v from_o the_o irish_a the_o next_o consideration_n in_o order_n to_o the_o former_a be_v what_o mischief_n will_v attend_v a_o general_n pardon_v and_o how_o it_o will_v affect_v the_o english_a or_o british_a interest_n which_o shall_v be_v lay_v down_o in_o these_o seven_o follow_v particular_n first_o it_o will_v be_v a_o encouragement_n to_o the_o irish_a to_o commit_v the_o same_o outrage_n again_o and_o will_v animate_v they_o to_o a_o embrace_v of_o the_o first_o opportunity_n which_o they_o have_v now_o more_o reason_n to_o expect_v to_o prove_v favourable_a to_o they_o than_o former_o since_o that_o the_o french_a be_v engage_v with_o they_o in_o one_o bottom_n and_o be_v link_v together_o in_o a_o general_a interest_n as_o be_v as_o it_o be_v say_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o late_a compact_n entitle_v to_o a_o share_n in_o the_o kingdom_n now_o if_o at_o any_o time_n the_o french_a shall_v be_v at_o leisure_n by_o conclude_v of_o a_o peace_n with_o his_o enemy_n abroad_o he_o may_v at_o pleasure_n pour_v a_o army_n into_o ireland_n where_o the_o native_n there_o will_v be_v in_o a_o readiness_n to_o give_v they_o a_o kind_a reception_n and_o that_o without_o hardly_o expose_v themselves_o to_o any_o hazard_n in_o regard_n that_o they_o will_v suppose_v that_o they_o will_v be_v no_o loser_n by_o it_o since_o a_o pardon_n attend_v their_o great_a outrage_n the_o worst_a that_o can_v ensue_v will_v be_v only_o to_o bring_v they_o in_o and_o to_o secure_v they_o from_o commit_v more_o second_o it_o will_v enrich_v the_o irish_a and_o impoverish_v the_o english_a who_o at_o a_o moderate_a computation_n may_v be_v deem_v to_o have_v lose_v in_o personal_a estate_n money_n good_n and_o cattle_n to_o a_o great_a value_n than_o the_o land_n of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n amount_v to_o all_o which_o be_v in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o irish_a which_o as_o it_o render_v the_o protestant_n of_o little_a use_n in_o defence_n of_o the_o kingdom_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o strengthen_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o irish_a and_o make_v they_o formidable_a and_o very_a capable_a of_o raise_v disturbance_n in_o it_o money_n command_v man_n and_o man_n command_v kingdom_n and_o the_o irish_a be_v never_o

of_o the_o protestant_n of_o that_o kingdom_n see_v that_o all_o the_o tenant_n be_v despoil_v of_o their_o stock_n so_o that_o a_o tenant_n have_v no_o cattle_n to_o put_v upon_o his_o land_n can_v consequent_o pay_v no_o rent_n nor_o be_v capable_a of_o live_v in_o the_o kingdom_n a_o calamity_n better_o indeed_o express_v with_o tear_n than_o ink_n and_o it_o be_v no_o small_a addition_n to_o

for_o their_o onion_n and_o garlic_n of_o egypt_n and_o to_o anathematise_v the_o best_a reform_a among_o they_o for_o introduce_v the_o english_a custom_n and_o restraint_n upon_o a_o free_a people_n as_o they_o account_v themselves_o when_o indeed_o they_o be_v but_o slave_n to_o their_o own_o brutality_n and_o lust_n i_o shall_v not_o stuff_v paper_n with_o what_o our_o chronicle_n and_o

that_o ever_o the_o english_a enjoy_v there_o much_o of_o which_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o conquest_n of_o cromwell_n who_o think_v it_o a_o diminution_n to_o his_o honour_n to_o condescend_v to_o

this_o be_v a_o true_a character_n of_o their_o own_o force_n their_o dependence_n must_v be_v upon_o the_o french_a auxiliary_n to_o supply_v these_o defect_n but_o how_o that_o suit_n with_o the_o irish_a interest_n and_o design_n be_v not_o difficult_a to_o imagine_v the_o irish_a gentry_n for_o i_o must_v say_v that_o the_o common_a people_n desire_v not_o war_n with_o the_o english_a put_v
