_Ireland_ is a place which must have so great an Army kept up in it, as may make the Irish desist from doing themselves or the English harm by their future Rebellions. And this great Army must occasion great and heavy Leavies upon a poor people and wasted Countrey; it is therefore not amiss that _Ireland_ should understand the nature and measure of Taxes and Contributions. 2. The Parishes of _Ireland_ do much want Regulation, by uniting and dividing them; so as to make them fit Enclosures wherein to plant the Gospel: wherefore what I have said as to the danger of supernumerary Ministers, may also be seasonable there, when the new Geograpy we expect of that Island shall have afforded means for the Regulation abovementioned. 3. The great plenty of _Ireland_ will but undo it, unless a way be found for advantageous Exportations, the which will depend upon the due measure of Custom and Excize here treated on. 4. Since _Ireland_ is under-peopled in the whole, and since the Government there can never be safe without chargeable Armies, until the major part of the Inhabitants be English, whether by carrying over these, or withdrawing the other; I think there can be no better encouragement to draw English thither, then to let them know, that the Kings Revenue being above 1./10. part of the whole Wealth, Rent, and Proceed of the Nation; that the Publick Charge in the next Age will be no more felt there then that of Tythes is here; and that as the Kings Revenue encreases, so the causes of his Expence will decrease proportionably, which is a double advantage. 6. The employing the Beggars in _England_ about mending the High-wayes, and making Rivers Navigable will make the Wool and Cattle of _Ireland_ vend the better. 7. The full understanding of the nature of Money, the effects of the various _species_ of Coins, and of their uncertain values, as also of raising or embasing them, is a learning most proper for _Ireland_, which hath been lately much and often abused for the want of it. 8. Since Lands are worth but six or seven years purchase, and yet twenty years just cross the Channel, ’twere good the people of _Ireland_ knew the reasons of it at a time when there is means of help. Lastly, if any man hath any Notions which probably may be good for _Ireland_, he may with most advantage expose them to publick examination now, when the Duke of _Ormond_ is Chief Governour: for, 1. His Grace knows that Countrey perfectly well, as well in times and matters of Peace as War, and understands the Interests as well of particular persons, as of all and every factions and parties struggling with each other in that Kingdom; understanding withall the state of _England_, and also of several Forreign Nations, with reference to _Ireland_. 2. His Grace hath given fresh demonstration of his care of an English Interest in _Ireland_, and of his wisdom in reconciling the several cross concernments there so far as the same is possible.
