that_o the_o assessment_n of_o london_n be_v about_o a_o wales_n a_o the_o people_n of_o london_n be_v about_o the_o 11_o part_n of_o all_o england_n and_o wales_n eleven_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a

the_o suppose_a number_n of_o 600_o can_v be_v double_v but_o in_o 1126_o year_n which_o to_o reckon_v in_o round_a number_n and_o for_o that_o the_o aforementioned_a fraction_n be_v not_o exact_a we_o have_v rather_o call_v 1200._o there_o be_v also_o other_o good_a observation_n that_o even_o in_o the_o country_n one_o in_o about_o 30_o or_o 32_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la have_v die_v and_o that_o there_o have_v be_v five_o birth_n for_o four_o burial_n now_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n 20_o will_v die_v per_fw-la annum_fw-la out_o of_o the_o above_o 600_o and_o 25_o will_v be_v

computation_n be_v 25_o of_o 600_o or_o a_o twenty_o four_o part_n of_o the_o people_n yet_o that_o in_o natural_a possibility_n they_o may_v be_v near_o thrice_o as_o many_o and_o near_o 75._o for_o that_o by_o some_o late_a observation_n the_o teem_v female_n between_o 15_o and_o 44_o be_v about_o 180_o of_o the_o say_v 600_o and_o the_o male_n of_o between_o 18_o and_o 59_o be_v about_o 180_o also_o and_o that_o every_o teem_v woman_n can_v bear_v a_o child_n once_o in_o two_o year_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o birth_n may_v be_v 90_o and_o abate_v 15_o for_o
