A77352	A discourse concerning Ireland and the different interests thereof, in answer to the Exon and Barnstaple petitions shewing, that if a law were enacted to prevent the exportation of woollen-manufactures from Ireland to foreign parts, what the consequences thereof would be both to England and Ireland.	Brewster, Francis, Sir, d. 1704.	1698 (1698)	Wing B4433; ESTC R232233	49,829	76

they_o there_o may_v be_v several_a particular_a method_n propose_v for_o weaken_v that_o interest_n and_o incapacitate_v they_o of_o be_v any_o further_a troublesome_a to_o england_n such_o as_o

which_o time_n seventeen_o king_n and_o two_o queen_n govern_v successive_o in_o england_n for_o which_o reason_n they_o conclude_v that_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v cost_v the_o english_a

these_o paper_n shall_v come_v any_o further_a trouble_n by_o produce_v argument_n to_o prove_v the_o dependence_n and_o hope_n of_o the_o irish_a papist_n to_o be_v very_o opposite_a to_o those_o of_o the_o english_a of_o that_o country_n for_o if_o their_o interest_n be_v so_o this_o must_v of_o course_n be_v allow_v and_o this_o they_o have_v in_o the_o late_a war_n evident_o demonstrate_v to_o the_o world_n for_o when_o the_o emperor_n the_o king_n of_o spain_n and_o most_o of_o the_o other_o roman_n catholic_n prince_n of_o europe_n be_v in_o league_n with_o his_o majesty_n of_o

of_o england_n than_o we_o may_v imagine_v it_o be_v possible_a for_o they_o to_o do_v if_o we_o consider_v either_o the_o condition_n in_o which_o they_o be_v now_o be_v unhorse_v and_o disarm_v of_o all_o manner_n of_o weapon_n of_o war_n or_o the_o circumstance_n in_o which_o they_o be_v in_o any_o time_n since_o the_o restoration_n of_o king_n charles_n ii_o till_o the_o last_o part_n of_o

their_o great_a interest_n and_o advantage_n so_o they_o have_v chief_o depend_v upon_o the_o french_a and_o by_o they_o expect_v the_o accomplishment_n of_o that_o great_a design_n not_o that_o i_o will_v say_v that_o they_o have_v natural_o a_o great_a affection_n for_o the_o french_a than_o any_o other_o nation_n but_o because_o they_o have_v for_o some_o year_n esteem_v the_o french_a king_n to_o be_v the_o most_o powerful_a and_o the_o most_o ambitious_a monarch_n of_o europe_n of_o the_o romish_a persuasion_n and_o consequent_o the_o most_o likely_a to_o attempt_v the_o expulsion_n of_o the_o british_a out_o of_o that_o country_n and_o as_o they_o fond_o imagine_v to_o restore_v they_o to_o their_o pretend_a ancient_a estate_n and_o liberty_n which_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n that_o induce_v they_o to_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o the_o spaniard_n in_o the_o reign_n of_o queen_n elizabeth_n and_o notwithstanding_o that_o there_o have_v be_v all_o along_o the_o war_n considerable_a number_n of_o those_o irish_a papist_n in_o the_o french_a service_n many_o of_o which_o remain_v there_o this_o very_a day_n and_o the_o ruin_n of_o demolish_v town_n and_o fortress_n in_o ireland_n and_o the_o vast_a heap_n of_o the_o bone_n of_o slaughter_v man_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o many_o part_n of_o that_o kingdom_n be_v but_o too_o fresh_a and_o sensible_a monument_n of_o their_o villainy_n and_o can_v when_o we_o see_v they_o but_o make_v we_o reflect_v upon_o their_o behaviour_n towards_o we_o and_o remember_v how_o few_o year_n have_v pass_v since_o they_o be_v by_o downright_a dint_n of_o sword_n beat_v into_o good_a manner_n i_o say_v notwithstanding_o all_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v be_v very_o well_o assure_v that_o long_a before_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o peace_n they_o have_v make_v application_n to_o the_o emperor_n k._n of_o spain_n and_o other_o roman_n catholic_n prince_n that_o they_o may_v intercede_v for_o they_o to_o the_o k._n of_o

the_o right_n and_o speak_v truth_n whether_o they_o believe_v it_o or_o no_o but_o they_o do_v also_o endeavour_v to_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o most_o of_o any_o note_n among_o they_o have_v take_v the_o oath_n of_o fidelity_n they_o be_v now_o true_a friend_n to_o king_n william_n and_o the_o english_a interest_n of_o ireland_n and_o we_o know_v very_o well_o that_o oath_n have_v be_v
