cubit_n that_o can_v be_v introduce_v and_o may_v just_o challenge_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o any_o late_a by_o its_o be_v settle_a and_o in_o possession_n already_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o

militia_n consist_v of_o these_o two_o sort_n of_o soldier_n who_o be_v esteem_v above_o all_o tradesman_n the_o hermotybie_n and_o the_o calasiry_n the_o full_a number_n of_o the_o latter_a of_o these_o be_v 250000_o man_n who_o in_o course_n be_v their_o king_n guard_n and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v to_o maintain_v he_o and_o his_o family_n land_n free_a from_o tax_n who_o area_n

how_o much_o land_n this_o be_v in_o our_o measure_n i_o take_v the_o cairo_n cubit_n a_o hundred_o time_n which_o be_v 182.4_o in_o our_o foot-measure_n as_o may_v be_v infer_v from_o mr._n greaves_n his_o table_n and_o by_o square_n this_o number_n i_o find_v a_o aroura_n to_o be_v 33269.76_o square_a foot_n english_a which_o be_v considerable_o less_o than_o one_o english_a acre_n for_o that_o contain_v 43560_o square_a foot_n hence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o 12_o arourae_n will_v amount_v to_o 399237.12_o square_a foot_n and_o this_o divide_a by_o the_o foot_n of_o a_o english_a acre_n will_v quote_v 9.165_o which_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o land_n of_o each_o calasyry_n amount_v to_o 9_o english_a acre_n and_o .165_o millessimal_n of_o a_o acre_n or_o 1_o ten_o part_n of_o a_o

with_o his_o family_n very_o well_o but_o if_o this_o cubit_n be_v change_v whereby_o so_o many_o thousand_o estate_n be_v set_v out_o it_o must_v needs_o make_v a_o great_a change_n in_o all_o these_o estate_n consist_v of_o so_o much_o land_n set_v out_o by_o this_o first_o number_n of_o cubit_n which_o be_v now_o suppose_v to_o be_v all_o alter_v and_o great_a disorder_n must_v be_v expect_v among_o these_o man_n in_o who_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o kingdom_n chief_o lay_v for_o if_o a_o long_a cubit_n be_v take_v those_o of_o they_o that_o be_v first_o serve_v will_v have_v more_o land_n in_o each_o aroura_n but_o then_o there_o will_v be_v none_o leave_v for_o those_o that_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v serve_v last_o or_o else_o they_o must_v trespass_v upon_o the_o land_n that_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o the_o militia_n which_o will_v beget_v discontent_n and_o sedition_n if_o they_o take_v a_o less_o cubit_n this_o will_v lessen_v all_o the_o soldier_n estate_n more_o than_o any_o man_n unskilled_a in_o geometry_n can_v expect_v and_o will_v beget_v a_o mutiny_n for_o want_v of_o a_o sufficient_a maintenance_n for_o the_o soldier_n and_o their_o family_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o instance_n suppose_v that_o instead_o of_o the_o cairo-cubit_n the_o arourae_n of_o the_o calasyry_n shall_v be_v set_v out_o by_o the_o roman-cubit_n which_o be_v not_o quite_o 4_o inch_n short_a amount_v in_o our_o english_a foot-measure_n to_o 1.45_o as_o may_v be_v infer_v from_o mr._n greaves_n his_o table_n a_o hundred_o such_o cubit_n be_v 145_o foot_n and_o the_o square_a thereof_o make_v a_o aroura_n will_v be_v 21025_o square_a foot_n and_o 12_o such_o arourae_n will_v be_v 252300_o square_a foot_n which_o amount_v to_o little_a above_o 5_o acre_n and_o three_o quarter_n or_o rood_n whereby_o its_o evident_a that_o much_o above_o a_o three_o part_n of_o every_o soldier_n estate_n will_v be_v take_v away_o whence_o nothing_o less_o than_o great_a distress_n in_o all_o their_o family_n and_o rebellion_n against_o their_o governor_n must_v be_v expect_v concern_v the_o antiquity_n of_o these_o arourae_n i_o can_v find_v when_o they_o be_v introduce_v into_o egypt_n for_o though_o herodotus_n do_v not_o mention_v they_o till_o he_o speak_v of_o apries_n king_n of_o egypt_n who_o chronologer_n agree_v to_o be_v that_o pharaoh_n who_o be_v call_v hophra_n in_o our_o bibles_n yet_o he_o suppose_v they_o settle_v on_o the_o military_a man_n before_o his_o time_n and_o confine_n they_o to_o twelve_o of_o those_o nomi_n which_o be_v shire_n or_o praefecture_n in_o egypt_n of_o which_o sesostris_n the_o most_o martial_a king_n of_o egypt_n be_v the_o author_n or_o founder_n which_o make_v i_o conjecture_v that_o he_o settle_v these_o arourae_n on_o the_o soldier_n as_o well_o as_o that_o division_n of_o the_o whole_a land_n into_o 36_o nomi_n if_o this_o be_v admit_v they_o be_v much_o elder_a than_o moses_n his_o time_n according_a to_o the_o first_o book_n of_o eusebius_n his_o canon_n chronicus_n in_o graec._n where_o he_o from_o africanus_n and_o he_o out_o of_o manetho_n the_o egyptian_a priest_n places_z sesostris_n in_o the_o twelve_o dynasti_n and_o afterward_o place_v moses_n in_o the_o eighteen_o yet_o they_o will_v be_v of_o antiquity_n sufficient_a to_o my_o concern_v if_o sesostris_n settle_v they_o about_o moses_n time_n to_o which_o the_o learned_a bishop_n usher_n make_v sesostris_n contemporary_a but_o however_o this_o be_v state_v when_o i_o compare_v 100_o cubit_n the_o side_n of_o
