of Asia so far as to engage in a War with the King of Danmark for that reason At least Holland and England will very probably remain quiet till the world has in some measure forgot the proceedings with the great Mogul and the King of Bantam At last the Author comes to sum up what he has been saying concerning the King of Danmark's Dominions and from what he himself has deliver'd p. 41. infers that they produce but a moderate Plenty of Necessaries for the Inhabitants but few Commodities for the Merchants However from the very worst representation that can be given it which is this Authors I shall endeavour from his own words to evince the quite contrary For Sealand p. 7 8. has Rye in good quantity no want of good Hay the graâ—s short and sweet great Number of the Lakes sufficiently stor'd with Fish Beech. wood which is excellent for the pureness of its firings much Game as Stags Wild-boars Roebucks c. The face of the land is pleasant in many places abounding with little Hills Woods and â—aâ—es in a very agreable diversity For Sea-ports it hath that most excellent one belonging to Copenhagen c. One of the best in the World c. Funen p. 27. is second to Sealand whether its bigness or goodness of its Soil be consider'd it has Plenty of Corn Hogs Lakes and Woods and some few Horses to be exported by the Merchants Laaland p. 28. is a small but plentiful Island producing all sorts of Corn in abundance and particularly Wheat wherewith it supplies Copenhagen and all other parts of Danmark The Hollanders buy yearly and ship off great Quantities of Corn from thence â—astria Langland and Mune are fertile Islands the two first export yearly some Corn Arroe and Alsen abound in Anniseeds which are much used c. Bornholm Saâ—nsoe p. 28. with the other Islands nourish Cattle and afford â—orn for the use of the Inhabitants Amack deserves to be particularly remembred This little Island is as it were the Râ—ehen Garden of Copenhagen and supplies its Markets plentifully with all sorts of Roâ—â—â— and Herbs besides Butter Milk great quantities of Corn and some Hay Jutland p. 29. is a Plentiful Country abounding more especially in Cattle The Hollanders transport yearly great Quantities of Corn and Oxen from thence to their more fertile Soil where in a short time they grow prodigiously The Horses and Swine of this Country are excellent and in great numbers It affords Corn in sufficient quantity for the use of its own People The Dutchy of Sleswick p. 32. is in general a very good Country its convenient Situation between two Seas the Ocean and the Baltick rendring it considerable for Trade Some Corn Cattle Horses and wood for Fireing it affords to its Neighbours over and above a sufficient store of each for its own Inhabitants Holstein p. 35. is a Country very Fruitful and Pleasant excellently well seated for Trade between two Seas Stormar and Ditmarsh p. 38. are for the most part low and Rich Countries their Soil being fat and in most places resembling Holland as well in its fertility as manner of Improvement Oldenburg p. 37. abounds in Cattle and has a good breed of Horses which are much sought after for Coaches Delmenhorst p. 38. is pretty well wooded Norway p. 39. has Silver Mines the Commodities which it yeilds sit for exportation are Timber of all kinds especially Firr Stockfish Masts for Ships and Iron of these it has a tolerable store Island and Feroe p. 39. have good stocks of Cattle The King of Danmark p. 37. hath Factories in Guinea and the East and West Indies Several East India Ships return home to Copenhagen well laden with the Merchandise of those Countries Thus I have given you from the Authors own words the Qualities of all the King of Danmark Dominions only abating the malicious insinuations of the Describer and leave the indifferent Reader to judge which deserves to be thought most contemptible of such a Country or such a Writer CHAP. VI. Of their Form of Government WE come now to his darling Topick which is that about Government In the very beginning of which Chapter he shows himself very ungrateful in Reflecting upon the Northern Countries to whose Antient Inhabitants he says p. 42. we are so much indebted as to owe the Original of Parliaments The constitution of a Government by a Parliament is a signal Blessing but for the most part those who make the greatest bluster with it are Men who would leave out the Principal part of it and commit the greatest errors about it The word Parliament is very equivocal and consequently there must be several differences as to the original of it in diverse Countries It is very probable that the original of Parliaments in general is not so much owing to any particular Nation as to Nature it self And for the due and firm constitution of the Government as I take that to be by King Lords and Commons I look no further than the Body natural viz. that of man the most Divine part of the Creation and there I find the head dignified with exceeding Power Command and Honour there are other members which being most useful to the principal part are exalted to a particular preferency and a third sort inferior and less useful which through their weakness c. seem liable to contempt and neglect and consequently to grievances so it is but meet for them to have recourse to their Superiors to set forth their wants and likewise to declare their willingness so far as in them lies to contribute towards the Support of the whole and it seems not unreasonable that it should be thus in the State since we find St. Paul to the Corinthians most admirably describing it to be so in the Church where having first made Christ the Head and secondly constituted Apostles Prophets and Teachers he yet further in the third place makes every particular Christian come in for a share as a member That there should be no Schism in the body but the members should have the same care one for the other and whether one member suffer all the members suffer with it or one member be honoured all the members rejoyce with it To take the word Parliament in this sense it may agree to several Nations but else as was before said it is very equivocal and differs according to the several Countries it is found in so that when the Author joyns the Parliaments of Poland and Great Britain together the Reader must not imagin that there is any likeness or resemblance between them for there the King has so little Power the Cities scarce any and that of the Nobility is so exorbitant that the greatest Councils upon the most pressing necessities for their safety against the Turks and Tartars end in nothing if one Deputy shall think fit to make his Protestation against it This Parliamentâ— being no more like ours than the Venetian Senate And yet
