million_o will_v do_v it_o suppose_v that_o root_n fruit_n fowl_n and_o fish_n and_o the_o ordinary_a profit_n of_o lead_n tin_n million_o iron-mine_n and_o wood_n will_v piece_v up_o any_o defect_n

one_o so_o as_o the_o land_n which_o be_v now_o worth_a but_o nine_o million_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la at_o seventeen_o ½_o year_n purchase_v make_v 157_o million_o and_o ½_o will_v then_o be_v worth_a

shall_v object_v that_o it_o will_v be_v dangerous_a unto_o england_n that_o ireland_n shall_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o any_o other_o nation_n i_o answer_v in_o short_a that_o that_o nation_n

rise_v by_o this_o close_a cohabitation_n of_o people_n above_o describe_v i_o answer_v that_o the_o advantage_n will_v arise_v in_o transplant_n about_o eighteen_o hundred_o thousand_o people_n from_o the_o poor_a and_o miserable_a trade_n of_o husbandry_n to_o more_o beneficial_a handicraft_n for_o when_o the_o superaddition_n be_v make_v a_o very_a little_a addition_n of_o husbandry_n to_o the_o same_o land_n will_v produce_v a_o five_o part_v more_o of_o food_n and_o consequent_o the_o additional_a hand_n earn_v but_o 40_o s._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la as_o they_o may_v very_o well_o do_v nay_o to_o 8_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la at_o some_o other_o trade_n the_o superlucration_n will_v be_v above_o three_o million_o and_o six_o hundred_o thousand_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la which_o at_o twenty_o year_n purchase_n be_v seventy_o million_o moreover_o as_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o city_n and_o town_n spend_v more_o commodity_n and_o make_v great_a consumption_n than_o those_o who_o live_v in_o wild_a thin_a people_a country_n so_o when_o england_n shall_v be_v thick_a people_v in_o the_o manner_n before_o describe_v the_o very_a same_o people_n shall_v then_o spend_v more_o than_o when_o they_o live_v more_o sordid_o and_o inurbane_o and_o further_a asunder_o and_o more_o out_o of_o the_o sight_n observation_n and_o emulation_n of_o each_o other_o every_o

of_o the_o government_n civil_a military_a and_o ecclesiastical_a will_v be_v more_o cheap_a safe_a and_o effectual_a in_o this_o condition_n of_o close_a co-habitation_n than_o otherwise_o as_o not_o only_a reason_n but_o the_o example_n of_o the_o unite_a province_n do_v demonstrate_v but_o to_o let_v this_o whole_a digression_n pass_v for_o a_o mere_a dream_n i_o suppose_v it_o will_v serve_v to_o prove_v that_o in_o case_n the_o king_n of_o england_n territory_n shall_v be_v a_o little_a less_o than_o those_o of_o the_o king_n of_o france_n that_o forasmuch_o as_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v overpeopled_n that_o the_o difference_n be_v not_o material_a to_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n wherefore_o suppose_v the_o king_n of_o france_n advantage_n to_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o in_o this_o point_n of_o territory_n we_o come_v next_o to_o examine_v and_o compare_v the_o number_n of_o subject_n which_o each_o of_o these_o monarch_n do_v govern_v the_o book_n call_v the_o state_n of_o france_n make_v that_o kingdom_n to_o consist_v of_o twenty_o seven_o thousand_o parish_n and_o another_o book_n write_v by_o a_o substantial_a author_n who_o profess_o inquire_v into_o the_o state_n of_o the_o church_n and_o churchman_n of_o france_n set_v it_o down_o as_o a_o extraordinary_a case_n that_o a_o parish_n in_o france_n shall_v have_v six_o hundred_o soul_n wherefore_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o say_a author_n who_o have_v so_o well_o examine_v the_o matter_n be_v not_o of_o opinion_n that_o every_o parish_n one_o with_o another_o have_v above_o five_o hundred_o by_o which_o reckon_v the_o whole_a people_n of_o france_n be_v about_o thirteen_o million_o and_o a_o half_a now_o the_o people_n of_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n with_o the_o island_n adjoin_v by_o computation_n from_o the_o number_n of_o parish_n which_o common_o have_v more_o people_n in_o protestant_a church_n than_o in_o popish_a country_n as_o also_o from_o the_o hearth-money_n pole-money_n and_o excise_n do_v amount_v to_o about_o nine_o million_o and_o ½_o there_o be_v in_o new_a england_n about_o 16000_o man_n muster_v in_o arm_n about_o 24000_o able_a to_o bear_v arm_n and_o consequent_o about_o 150000_o in_o all_o and_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o in_o all_o this_o and_o the_o other_o plantation_n of_o asia_n africa_n and_o america_n there_o shall_v not_o be_v half_o 〈…〉_z a_o million_o in_o all_o but_o this_o last_o i_o leave_v to_o every_o man_n conjecture_n and_o conse_n quent_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o king_n of_o england_n have_v about_o ten_o million_o of_o subject_n ubivis_fw-la terrarum_fw-la orbis_n and_o the_o king_n of_o france_n about_o thirteen_o and_o a_o ½_o as_o aforesaid_a although_o it_o be_v very_o material_a to_o know_v the_o number_n of_o subject_n belong_v to_o each_o prince_n yet_o when_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v their_o wealth_n and_o strength_n it_o be_v also_o material_a to_o examine_v how_o many_o of_o they_o do_v get_v more_o than_o they_o spend_v and_o how_o many_o less_o in_o order_n whereunto_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o in_o the_o king_n of_o england_n dominion_n there_o be_v not_o twenty_o thousand_o churchman_n but_o in_o france_n as_o the_o aforementioned_a author_n of_o they_o do_v aver_v who_o set_v down_o the_o particular_a number_n of_o each_o religious_a order_n there_o be_v about_o two_o hundred_o and_o seventy_o thousand_o viz._n two_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o more_o than_o we_o thinkare_o necessary_a that_o be_v to_o say_v two_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o withdraw_v out_o of_o the_o world_n now_o the_o say_a number_n of_o adult_n and_o able_a body_a person_n be_v equivalent_a to_o about_o double_a the_o same_o number_n of_o the_o promiscuous_a mass_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o same_o author_n say_v that_o the_o same_o religious_a person_n do_v spend_v one_o with_o another_o about_o 18_o d._n per_fw-la diem_fw-la which_o be_v triple_a even_o to_o what_o a_o labour_a man_n require_v wherefore_o the_o say_v two_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o churchman_n live_v as_o they_o do_v make_v the_o king_n of_o france_n thirteen_o million_o and_o a_o half_a to_o be_v less_o than_o thirteen_o now_o if_o ten_o man_n can_v defend_v themselves_o as_o well_o in_o island_n as_o thirteen_o can_v upon_o the_o continent_n then_o the_o say_v ten_o be_v not_o concern_v to_o increase_v their_o territory_n by_o the_o invasion_n of_o

amsterdam_n may_v well_o be_v half_a that_o of_o paris_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o foundation_n graft_n and_o bridge_n which_o in_o amsterdam_n be_v more_o numerous_a and_o chargeable_a than_o at_o

the_o one_o to_o the_o people_n of_o the_o other_o be_v but_o as_o thirteen_o to_o one_o the_o value_n of_o the_o house_n must_v be_v as_o about_o five_o to_o one_o the_o value_n of_o the_o ship_n

some_o say_v that_o the_o king_n of_o france_n raise_v eleven_o million_o as_o the_o ⅕_n of_o the_o effect_n of_o france_n i_o humble_o affirm_v that_o all_o the_o land_n and_o sea_n force_n all_o

have_v cost_v six_o million_o sterling_a wherefore_o i_o suppose_v he_o have_v not_o raise_v more_o especial_o since_o there_o be_v one_o five_o insolvency_n when_o the_o tax_n be_v at_o that_o pitch_n but_o holland_n and_o zealand_n pay_v 67_o of_o the_o 100_o zealand_n pay_v by_o all_o the_o unite_a province_n and_o the_o city_n of_o amsterdam_n pay_v 27_o of_o the_o say_v 67_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o amsterdam_n have_v pay_v 4000_o l._n flemish_n per_fw-la diem_fw-la or_o about_o 1400000_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la or_o 800000_o l._n sterling_n that_o all_o holland_n and_o
