people_n of_o the_o whole_a nation_n and_o the_o late_a 10_o year_n civil_a war_n the_o like_a whereof_o have_v not_o be_v in_o several_a age_n before_o do_v not_o take_v away_o above_o a_o forty_o

the_o present_a 320_o million_o compute_v by_o some_o learned_a man_n from_o the_o measure_n of_o all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o world_n their_o degree_n of_o be_v people_v and_o good_a account_n of_o the_o people_n in_o several_a of_o they_o to_o be_v now_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n will_v within_o the_o next_o 2000_o year_n so_o increase_n as_o to_o give_v one_o head_n for_o

and_o will_v be_v at_o its_o utmost_a height_n in_o the_o next_o precede_v period_n anno_fw-la 1800_o when_o the_o number_n of_o the_o city_n will_v be_v eight_o time_n its_o present_a number_n viz._n
