be_v about_o thirteen_o million_o 500,000_o 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 then_o in_o popish_a country_n as_o also_o from_o the_o hearth-money_n post-money_n and_o excise_n do_v amount_v to_o above_o nine_o

of_o england_n dominion_n there_o be_v 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 270000._o viz._n 250000._o more_o than_o we_o think_v be_v necessary_a that_o be_v to_o say_v two_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o with-drawn_a out_o of_o the_o world_n now_o the_o say_a number_n of_o adult_n and_o able-bodyed_n 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

no_o better_o than_o twelve_o million_o or_o thereabouts_o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o inner_a part_n of_o france_n remote_a from_o
