people_n pass_v every_o day_n over_o those_o bridge_n without_o take_v any_o notice_n that_o they_o be_v bridge_n whereas_o in_o the_o estimate_n they_o make_v of_o the_o bigness_n of_o london_n they_o never_o fail_v to_o distinguish_v the_o thames_n from_o london_n whereas_o if_o they_o do_v comprehend_v it_o with_o london_n as_o they_o do_v the_o seine_n with_o paris_n they_o shall_v find_v

than_o paris_n by_o half_a nor_o do_v they_o mind_n when_o they_o compare_v the_o multitude_n of_o people_n in_o england_n with_o that_o of_o france_n that_o england_n be_v but_o a_o little_a more_o in_o extent_n than_o the_o three_o part_n of_o france_n though_o at_o other_o time_n when_o compare_v both_o the_o kingdom_n one_o with_o another_o they_o make_v england_n lesser_a than_o it_o be_v which_o be_v mistake_v very_o ordinary_a to_o mankind_n but_o that_o which_o contribute_v most_o to_o confirm_v they_o in_o their_o opinion_n to_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o england_n be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v travel_v in_o england_n they_o do_v not_o meet_v as_o i_o observe_v already_o with_o such_o a_o great_a number_n of_o large_a city_n as_o they_o do_v when_o travel_v in_o france_n the_o reason_n of_o which_o be_v very_o plain_a or_o rather_o several_a reason_n may_v be_v allege_v for_o it_o first_o the_o city_n of_o london_n be_v too_o big_a as_o i_o say_v already_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o draw_v in_o the_o people_n of_o the_o country_n to_o it_o more_o than_o any_o head_n city_n of_o any_o other_o nation_n know_v to_o we_o and_o will_v continue_v to_o do_v so_o more_o and_o more_o second_o the_o other_o most_o considerable_a town_n in_o england_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n situate_v near_o the_o sea_n whither_o few_o traveller_n go_v whereas_o in_o france_n they_o be_v almost_o all_o of_o they_o place_v in_o the_o inand_n country_n and_o upon_o the_o great_a road_n so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o traveller_n do_v not_o meet_v with_o so_o many_o great_a town_n in_o england_n and_o even_o find_v sometime_o a_o kind_n of_o wilderness_n since_o it_o be_v chief_o the_o seacoast_n which_o be_v well_o people_v and_o where_o the_o good_a town_n lie_v there_o be_v one_o thing_n further_o to_o be_v consider_v viz._n that_o traveller_n in_o france_n do_v propose_v common_o to_o themselves_o nothing_o else_o but_o to_o take_v their_o pleasure_n and_o learn_v the_o tongue_n with_o some_o bodily_a exercise_n which_o be_v not_o very_o necessary_a and_o do_v it_o apply_v their_o mind_n to_o learn_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o province_n of_o that_o kingdom_n &_o so_o for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o travel_v only_o through_o the_o pleasant_a most_o populous_a and_o luxurious_a part_n of_o france_n where_o victual_n and_o fruit_n be_v most_o delicate_a and_o other_o pleasure_n most_o exquisite_a they_o see_v paris_n roüen_n orleans_n with_o all_o the_o other_o place_n upon_o the_o river_n loire_n anger_n be_v lion_n marseille_n montpellier_n nismes_n thoulouze_n bourdeaux_n poitiers_n and_o some_o rochel_n but_o very_o few_o travel_n through_o the_o province_n of_o britain_n mainne_n perche_n vendomois_n where_o they_o may_v find_v great_a wilderness_n and_o in_o many_o part_v few_o people_n they_o travel_v seldom_o through_o the_o province_n of_o berry_n bourbonnois_n auvergne_n cevennes_n daufinè_n provence_n nivernois_n limozin_n quercy_n bearn_n and_o several_a other_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o kingdom_n where_o few_o great_a town_n be_v to_o be_v find_v so_o that_o foreigner_n see_v

do_v not_o see_v the_o other_o this_o reason_n will_v also_o furnish_v we_o with_o another_o viz._n that_o stranger_n take_v notice_n of_o and_o love_v town_n according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n they_o enjoy_v in_o they_o now_o it_o be_v know_v that_o london_n be_v the_o only_a place_n in_o england_n where_o man_n of_o pleasure_n or_o curiosity_n find_v their_o delight_n there_o be_v little_a or_o

have_v also_o this_o effect_n that_o stranger_n take_v it_o to_o be_v more_o populous_a and_o rich_a than_o real_o it_o be_v and_o i_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v indeed_o full_a of_o people_n but_o not_o so_o populous_a as_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v nor_o yet_o so_o populous_a as_o england_n proportionable_o to_o their_o respective_a extent_n as_o for_o politeness_n and_o refinedness_n in_o many_o thing_n i_o confess_v france_n do_v go_v beyond_o england_n but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n we_o may_v indeed_o say_v in_o that_o respect_n that_o there_o be_v many_o

choose_v rather_o to_o live_v thereabouts_o than_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o land_n and_o second_o because_o the_o adjacent_a part_n of_o london_n as_o well_o as_o the_o city_n itself_o contribute_v very_o much_o towards_o the_o depopulate_a of_o the_o country_n three_o it_o must_v be_v consider_v that_o people_n apply_v themselves_o common_o more_o in_o england_n to_o the_o breed_n of_o cattle_n than_o they_o do_v in_o france_n and_o that_o a_o farm_n in_o england_n take_v up_o a_o great_a extent_n of_o land_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o cattle_n which_o be_v very_o numerous_a and_o go_v of_o '_o emselve_n a_o great_a way_n to_o the_o appoint_a pasture_n without_o a_o herd_n because_o they_o be_v free_a from_o wolf_n and_o in_o such_o a_o farm_n there_o be_v common_o a_o great_a number_n of_o people_n proportionable_o than_o in_o the_o farm_n in_o france_n where_o they_o be_v lesser_a for_o the_o most_o part_n and_o more_o frequent_a the_o french_a blow_n more_o and_o

in_o england_n than_o in_o france_n not_o only_o because_o of_o the_o great_a fruitfulness_n of_o the_o soil_n and_o the_o lenity_n of_o the_o government_n but_o also_o because_o the_o cattle_n maintain_v a_o great_a number_n of_o manufacture_n by_o their_o wool_n hides_n horn_n tallow_n butter_n cheese_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o abundance_n of_o farmer_n live_v in_o they_o we_o must_v

upon_o the_o coast_n which_o traveller_n can_v see_v because_o they_o do_v not_o go_v that_o way_n another_o thing_n to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o be_v that_o there_o be_v in_o england_n above_o 70_o

of_o the_o gentleness_n of_o the_o government_n and_o if_o it_o may_v be_v speak_v without_o offence_n of_o the_o bad_a discipline_n keep_v in_o the_o kingdom_n at_o the_o same_o time_n viz._n the_o

command_v tyrannical_o to_o do_v it_o beside_o fisherman_n can_v not_o then_o make_v their_o constant_a trade_n of_o fish_v but_o only_o in_o lent_n and_o about_o friday_n and_o saturday_n whereas_o they_o can_v fish_v now_o and_o do_v fish_n actual_o every_o day_n it_o be_v true_a france_n do_v not_o afford_v such_o plenty_n of_o meat_n as_o england_n but_o this_o must_v be_v also_o grant_v that_o the_o people_n in_o france_n who_o have_v mean_n do_v not_o feed_v so_o much_o upon_o meat_n even_o upon_o flesh-day_n as_o they_o call_v they_o as_o the_o english_a common_o do_v and_o beside_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o french_a people_n have_v not_o wherewithal_o to_o do_v it_o but_o i_o say_v further_o that_o france_n be_v in_o great_a want_n of_o fish_n than_o of_o flesh_n and_o that_o the_o kingdom_n will_v have_v have_v meat_n enough_o if_o lent_n the_o four_o ember-week_n and_o other_o fast-day_n have_v not_o be_v set_v up_o by_o superstition_n for_o this_o occasion_v a_o neglect_n in_o breed_v of_o cattle_n and_o even_o at_o present_a though_o the_o kingdom_n lie_v desolate_a in_o most_o part_n they_o can_v afford_v cattle_n enough_o if_o lent_n be_v abolish_v and_o land_n not_o abandon_v and_o though_o france_n be_v at_o less_o expense_n now_o as_o to_o the_o buy_n of_o foreign_a fish_n than_o it_o be_v before_o the_o war_n yet_o it_o expend_v still_o very_o great_a sum_n that_o way_n though_o the_o poor_a sort_n of_o people_n in_o the_o remote_a province_n from_o sea_n seldom_o taste_v fish_n of_o any_o sort_n and_o even_o very_o rare_o of_o meat_n but_o lest_o any_o body_n shall_v imagine_v that_o i_o contradict_v myself_o in_o say_v that_o the_o people_n of_o england_n do_v not_o eat_v less_o fish_n since_o the_o observation_n of_o lent_n but_o do_v rather_o eat_v more_o and_o that_o i_o pretend_v nevertheless_o that_o the_o observation_n of_o such_o a_o superstition_n prejudices_fw-la the_o revenue_n of_o land_n in_o france_n and_o hinder_v the_o breed_n and_o consumption_n of_o cattle_n i_o shall_v answer_v that_o specious_a objection_n i_o call_v it_o specious_a because_o it_o seem_v that_o if_o so_o be_v the_o abolish_n of_o lent_n and_o other_o fish-day_n in_o england_n produce_v that_o effect_n that_o more_o fish_n be_v eat_v in_o it_o since_o it_o will_v seem_v to_o follow_v that_o less_o meat_n shall_v be_v consume_v and_o so_o consequent_o if_o lent_n and_o other_o pretend_a fast-day_n be_v abolish_v in_o france_n more_o fish_n will_v be_v eat_v and_o less_o flesh_n destroy_v i_o answer_v to_o this_o that_o there_o be_v no_o real_a contradiction_n in_o my_o position_n but_o only_o a_o seem_a one_o and_o that_o only_a to_o those_o who_o do_v not_o weigh_v thing_n right_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o that_o in_o england_n the_o people_n have_v always_o and_o at_o all_o season_n plenty_n both_o of_o meat_n and_o fish_n no_o place_n in_o the_o kingdom_n be_v very_o remote_a from_o sea_n and_o there_o be_v many_o river_n full_a of_o freshwater_n fish_n and_o the_o tide_n come_v up_o a_o great_a way_n in_o many_o of_o those_o river_n the_o sea-fish_n be_v convey_v into_o the_o country_n at_o a_o very_a small_a charge_n they_o have_v also_o plenty_n of_o good_a cattle_n so_o that_o they_o may_v at_o all_o time_n eat_v that_o which_o they_o like_v best_a or_o find_v cheap_a and_o eat_v it_o also_o without_o that_o aversion_n which_o the_o tyranny_n of_o imposition_n occasion_n when_o they_o be_v command_v or_o forbid_v upon_o pain_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n to_o eat_v or_o not_o to_o eat_v such_o and_o such_o thing_n at_o such_o and_o such_o time_n whereas_o france_n be_v general_o much_o more_o remote_a from_o the_o sea_n and_o fish_n there_o very_o scarce_o or_o dear_a now_o in_o the_o place_n far_o distant_a from_o sea_n if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o superstition_n of_o lent_n and_o other_o fast-day_n as_o they_o call_v they_o in_o those_o place_n i_o say_v they_o will_v eat_v much_o more_o meat_n than_o they_o do_v and_o more_o also_o than_o be_v eat_v near_o the_o seacoast_n where_o fish_n be_v more_o plentiful_a and_o cheap_a and_o consequent_o they_o shall_v breed_v more_o cattle_n and_o likewise_o they_o shall_v eat_v more_o fish_n in_o the_o seaport_n and_o other_o place_n near_o the_o sea_n than_o they_o do_v at_o present_a if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o tyranny_n impose_v upon_o their_o conscience_n which_o forbid_v they_o to_o eat_v meat_n at_o such_o and_o such_o time_n which_o create_v if_o not_o in_o all_o in_o most_o part_n of_o they_o a_o kind_n of_o abhorrency_n for_o fish_n which_o they_o be_v force_v to_o eat_v and_o so_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o less_o fish_n be_v take_v in_o the_o seaport_n than_o there_o will_v be_v without_o this_o superstition_n and_o also_o less_o cattle_n be_v breed_v in_o the_o country_n than_o there_o will_v be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o same_o abuse_n which_o forbid_v the_o eat_n of_o meat_n for_o about_o five_o month_n in_o the_o year_n and_o so_o put_v all_o thing_n in_o disorder_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v those_o that_o live_v near_o the_o sea_n be_v disgu_v at_o fish_n which_o nature_n and_o providence_n afford_v they_o very_o cheap_a and_o almost_o for_o nothing_o and_o which_o will_v be_v a_o great_a treasure_n to_o they_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o tyranny_n impose_v upon_o they_o and_o those_o that_o live_v in_o the_o country_n far_o off_o who_o can_v breed_v abundance_n of_o cattle_n and_o eat_v meat_n very_o cheap_a be_v force_v to_o

be_v worth_a let_v we_o see_v now_o what_o part_n of_o those_o man_n may_v be_v employ_v about_o husbandry_n and_o how_o many_o about_o art_n manufacture_n navigation_n fish_v trade_n in_o and_o out_o the_o kingdom_n and_o in_o the_o shop_n to_o avoid_v a_o hard_a and_o tedious_a examination_n of_o all_o the_o particular_n of_o such_o a_o division_n i_o think_v we_o may_v allow_v husbandry_n the_o two_o three_o of_o the_o whole_a viz._n 500_o thousand_o man_n and_o to_o art_n navigation_n etc._n etc._n the_o 250_o thousand_o remain_a in_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v 27_o thousand_o parish_n in_o the_o kingdom_n there_o can_v be_v in_o every_o parish_n one_o with_o another_o above_o 20_o man_n employ_v about_o husbandry_n and_o not_o above_o 10_o out_o of_o the_o 250_o thousand_o employ_v in_o art_n manufacture_n and_o the_o rest_n in_o every_o parish_n of_o the_o kingdom_n one_o with_o another_o but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v there_o be_v no_o husbandman_n in_o city_n and_o

so_o city_n and_o town_n have_v the_o great_a number_n of_o they_o by_o husbandry_n i_o understand_v all_o necessary_a labour_n about_o land_n as_o well_o for_o the_o production_n of_o fruit_n as_o

nay_o i_o will_v say_v further_o not_o to_o cultivate_v the_o four_o part_n of_o it_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v but_o we_o must_v add_v also_o that_o woman_n maid_n and_o boy_n under_o 12_o year_n of_o age_n and_o above_o 7_o do_v perform_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o work_n it_o be_v the_o woman_n that_o take_v care_n of_o the_o cow_n hog_n sheep_n and_o other_o small_a cattle_n or_o

the_o present_a great_a scarcity_n of_o man_n some_o drive_v ox_n or_o horse_n dig_v vine_n and_o do_v other_o such_o work_n i_o grant_v they_o can_v neither_o do_v it_o so_o well_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o man_n do_v and_o that_o they_o can_v meddle_v with_o any_o such_o thing_n unless_o there_o be_v in_o one_o family_n a_o great_a many_o lusty_a woman_n for_o common_o they_o be_v busy_a enough_o about_o domestic_a affair_n and_o the_o care_n of_o child_n and_o when_o they_o give_v suck_v or_o be_v quick_a with_o child_n they_o be_v fit_a for_o no_o kind_n of_o work_n but_o however_o woman_n in_o general_n be_v very_o helpful_a to_o man_n in_o affair_n of_o husbandry_n and_o now_o a_o day_n more_o than_o ever_o in_o france_n because_o of_o the_o want_n and_o scarcity_n of_o man_n beside_o that_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o several_a of_o the_o poor_a gentry_n curate_n and_o priest_n and_o poor_a officer_n of_o judicature_n surgeon_n notary_n sergeant_n or_o bailist_n their_o

they_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v more_o numerous_a in_o certain_a place_n because_o of_o many_o weakly_n infirm_a blind_a lame_a people_n and_o beggar_n who_o appear_v there_o beside_o boy_n from_o 12_o

all_o to_o the_o value_n of_o 30_o man_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o allow_v they_o more_o man_n than_o there_o be_v but_o i_o confess_v they_o lose_v abundance_n of_o their_o time_n about_o the_o
