the_o two_o temple_n lincoln_n inn_n gray_n inn_n doctor_n commons_o and_o the_o seven_o other_o inn_n in_o which_o be_v chimney_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v at_o london_n beside_o many_o lodging_n

be_v as_o about_o 6_o to_o 7_o and_o the_o house_n of_o the_o same_o as_o about_o 6_o to_o 9_o we_o infer_v that_o the_o people_n do_v not_o live_v at_o london_n so_o close_o and_o crowd_v as_o at_o paris_n but_o can_v afford_v themselves_o more_o room_n and_o liberty_n 2._o that_o at_o london_n the_o hospital_n be_v better_a and_o more_o desirable_a than_o those_o of_o paris_n for_o that_o in_o the_o best_a at_o paris_n there_o die_v 2_o out_o of_o 15_o whereas_o at_o london_n there_o die_v out_o of_o the_o worst_a scarce_o 2_o of_o 16_o and_o yet_o but_o a_o fifty_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a die_v out_o of_o the_o hospital_n at_o london_n and_o â…–_n or_o 20_o time_n that_o proportion_n die_v out_o of_o the_o paris_n hospital_n which_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o number_n of_o those_o at_o london_n who_o choose_v to_o lie_v sick_a in_o hospital_n rather_o than_o in_o their_o own_o house_n be_v to_o the_o like_a people_n of_o paris_n as_o one_o to_o twenty_o which_o show_v the_o great_a poverty_n or_o want_n of_o mean_n in_o the_o people_n of_o paris_n than_o those_o of_o london_n 3._o we_o infer_v from_o the_o premise_n viz._n the_o die_a scarce_o 2_o of_o 16_o out_o of_o the_o london_n hospital_n and_o about_o 2_o of_o 15_o in_o the_o best_a of_o paris_n to_o say_v nothing_o of_o l'_n hostel_n dieu_n that_o either_o the_o physician_n and_o surgeon_n of_o london_n be_v better_o than_o those_o of_o paris_n or_o that_o the_o air_n of_o london_n be_v more_o wholesome_a 10._o as_o for_o the_o other_o great_a city_n of_o the_o world_n if_o paris_n be_v the_o great_a we_o need_v say_v no_o more_o in_o behalf_n of_o london_n as_o for_o pequin_n in_o china_n we_o have_v no_o account_n fit_a to_o reason_n upon_o nor_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o description_n of_o the_o two_o late_a voyage_n of_o the_o chines_n emperor_n from_o that_o city_n into_o east_n and_o west_n tartary_n in_o the_o year_n 1682_o and_o 1683_o which_o can_v make_v we_o recant_v what_o we_o have_v say_v concern_v london_n as_o for_o dely_n and_o agra_n belong_v to_o the_o mogul_n we_o find_v nothing_o against_o our_o position_n but_o much_o to_o show_v the_o vast_a number_n which_o attend_v that_o emperor_n in_o his_o business_n and_o pleasure_n 11._o we_o shall_v conclude_v with_o constantinople_n and_o grand_fw-mi cairo_n as_o for_o constantinople_n it_o have_v be_v say_v by_o one_o who_o endeavour_v to_o show_v the_o greatness_n of_o that_o city_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o plague_n which_o reign_v in_o it_o that_o there_o die_v 1500_o per_fw-la diem_fw-la without_o other_o circumstance_n to_o which_o we_o answer_v that_o in_o the_o year_n 1665_o there_o die_v in_o london_n 1200_o per_fw-mi diem_fw-la and_o it_o have_v be_v well_o prove_v that_o the_o plague_n of_o london_n never_o carry_v away_o above_o â…•_n of_o the_o people_n whereas_o it_o be_v common_o believe_v that_o in_o constantinople_n and_o other_o eastern_a city_n and_o even_o in_o italy_n and_o spain_n that_o the_o plague_n take_v away_o â…–_n one_o half_a or_o more_o wherefore_o where_o 1200_o be_v but_o â…•_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o number_n be_v great_a than_o where_o 1500_o be_v â…–_n or_o one_o half_a etc._n etc._n 12._o as_o for_o grand_fw-mi cairo_n it_o be_v report_v that_o 73000_o die_v in_o
