a_o greatness_n increase_v not_o onward_o according_a to_o that_o proportion_n let_v no_o man_n think_v the_o way_n and_o mean_v aforesaid_a or_o any_o other_o that_o may_v be_v any_o way_n devise_v

of_o dearth_n of_o health_n and_o of_o plague_n whereof_o i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o bring_v example_n because_o the_o history_n be_v full_a now_o if_o city_n with_o all_o these_o accident_n and_o

the_o administration_n and_o the_o government_n of_o nature_n work_v secondary_a cause_n my_o question_n be_v with_o what_o mean_v that_o eternal_a providence_n make_v little_a to_o multiply_v and_o much_o to_o stand_v at_o a_o stay_n and_o go_v no_o further_o now_o to_o answer_v this_o propound_a question_n i_o say_v the_o self_n same_o question_n may_v be_v also_o make_v of_o all_o mankind_n forasmuch_o as_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o three_o thousand_o year_n it_o multiply_v in_o such_o sort_n from_o one_o man_n and_o one_o woman_n as_o the_o province_n of_o the_o whole_a continent_n

for_o the_o universal_a theatre_n of_o the_o world_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o augmentation_n of_o city_n proceed_v partly_o out_o of_o the_o virtue_n generative_a of_o man_n and_o partly_o out_o of_o the_o virtue_n nutritive_a of_o the_o city_n the_o virtue_n generative_a be_v without_o doubt_n to_o this_o day_n the_o very_a same_o or_o at_o least_o such_o as_o it_o be_v before_o three_o
