most_o man_n will_v laugh_v to_o hear_v we_o suppose_v that_o any_o able_a to_o work_v as_o indeed_o most_o beggar_n be_v in_o one_o kind_n of_o measure_n or_o another_o shall_v be_v keep_v without_o earn_v any_o thing_n but_o we_o answer_v that_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o certain_a proportion_n of_o work_n to_o be_v do_v and_o that_o the_o same_o be_v already_o do_v by_o the_o not-beggar_n then_o to_o employ_v the_o beggar_n about_o it_o will_v but_o transfer_v the_o want_n from_o one_o hand_n to_o another_o nor_o can_v a_o learner_n work_v so_o cheap_a as_o a_o skilful_a practise_a artist_n can_v as_o for_o example_n a_o practise_a spinner_n shall_v spin_v a_o pound_n of_o wool_n worth_a two_o shilling_n for_o six_o penny_n but_o a_o learner_n undertake_v it_o for_o three_o penny_n shall_v make_v the_o wool_n indeed_o into_o yarn_n but_o not_o worth_a twelve_o penny_n 7._o this_o little_a hint_n be_v the_o model_n of_o the_o great_a work_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v the_o make_v england_n as_o considerable_a for_o trade_n as_o holland_n for_o there_o be_v but_o a_o certain_a proportion_n of_o trade_n in_o the_o world_n and_o holland_n be_v prepossess_v of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o it_o and_o be_v think_v to_o have_v more_o skill_n and_o experience_n to_o manage_v it_o wherefore_o to_o bring_v england_n into_o holland_n condition_n as_o to_o this_o particular_a be_v the_o same_o as_o to_o send_v all_o the_o beggar_n about_o london_n into_o the_o west-country_n to_o spin_v where_o they_o shall_v only_o spoil_v the_o clothier_n wool_n and_o beggar_n the_o present_a spinner_n at_o best_a but_o at_o worst_a put_v the_o whole_a trade_n of_o the_o country_n to_o a_o stand_n until_o the_o hollander_n be_v more_o ready_a for_o it_o have_v snap_v that_o with_o the_o rest_n 8._o my_o next_o observation_n be_v that_o but_o few_o be_v murder_v viz._n not_o above_o 86_o of_o the_o 22950._o which_o have_v die_v of_o other_o disease_n and_o casualty_n whereas_o in_o paris_n few_o night_n escape_v without_o their_o tragedy_n 9_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o we_o conceive_v to_o be_v two_o one_o be_v the_o government_n and_o guard_n of_o the_o city_n by_o citizen_n themselves_o and_o that_o alternate_o no_o man_n settle_v into_o a_o trade_n for_o that_o employment_n and_o the_o other_o be_v the_o natural_a and_o customary_a abhorrence_n of_o that_o in_o humane_a crime_n and_o all_o bloodshed_n by_o most_o englishman_n for_o of_o all_o that_o be_v execute_v few_o be_v for_o murder_n beside_o the_o great_a and_o frequent_a revolution_n and_o change_n of_o government_n since_o the_o year_n 1650_o have_v be_v with_o little_a bloodshed_n the_o usurper_n themselves_o have_v execute_v few_o in_o comparison_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o disturb_v their_o innovation_n 10._o in_o brief_a when_o any_o dead_a body_n be_v find_v in_o england_n no_o algebraist_n or_o vncipherer_n of_o letter_n can_v use_v more_o subtle_a supposition_n and_o variety_n of_o conjecture_n to_o find_v out_o the_o demonstration_n or_o cipher_n then_o every_o common_a unconcerned_a person_n do_v to_o find_v out_o the_o murderer_n and_o that_o for_o ever_o until_o it_o be_v do_v 11._o the_o lunatic_n be_v also_o but_o few_o viz._n 158_o in_o 229250._o though_o i_o fear_v many_o more_o than_o be_v set_v down_o in_o our_o bill_n few_o be_v enter_v for_o such_o but_o those_o who_o die_v at_o bedlam_n and_o there_o all_o seem_v to_o die_v of_o their_o lunacy_n who_o die_v lunatic_n for_o there_o be_v much_o difference_n in_o compute_v the_o number_n of_o lunatic_n that_o die_v though_o of_o fever_n and_o all_o other_o disease_n unto_o which_o lunacy_n be_v no_o supersedeas_fw-la and_o those_o that_o die_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o madness_n 12._o so_o that_o this_o casualty_n be_v so_o uncertain_a i_o shall_v not_o force_v myself_o to_o make_v any_o inference_n from_o the_o number_n and_o proportion_n we_o find_v in_o our_o bill_n concern_v it_o only_o i_o dare_v ensure_v any_o man_n at_o this_o present_a well_o in_o his_o wit_n for_o one_o in_o the_o thousand_o that_o he_o shall_v not_o die_v a_o lunatic_n in_o bedlam_n within_o these_o seven_o year_n because_o i_o find_v not_o above_o one_o in_o about_o one_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o have_v do_v so_o 13._o the_o like_a use_n may_v be_v make_v of_o the_o account_n of_o man_n that_o make_v away_o themselves_o who_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o madman_n that_o think_v to_o ease_v themselves_o of_o pain_n by_o leap_v into_o hell_n or_o else_o be_v yet_o more_o mad_a so_o as_o to_o think_v there_o be_v no_o such_o place_n or_o that_o man_n may_v go_v to_o rest_v by_o death_n though_o they_o die_v in_o self-murder_n the_o great_a sin_n 14._o we_o shall_v say_v nothing_o of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o that_o have_v be_v drown_v kill_v by_o fall_n from_o scaffold_n or_o by_o cart_n run_v over_o they_o etc._n etc._n because_o the_o same_o depend_v upon_o the_o casual_a trade_n and_o employment_n of_o man_n and_o upon_o matter_n which_o be_v but_o circumstantial_a to_o the_o season_n and_o region_n we_o live_v in_o and_o afford_v little_a of_o that_o science_n and_o certainty_n we_o aim_v at_o 15._o we_o find_v one_o casualty_n in_o our_o bill_n of_o which_o though_o there_o be_v daily_o talk_v there_o be_v little_a effect_n much_o like_o our_o abhorrence_n of_o toad_n and_o snake_n as_o most_o poisonous_a creature_n whereas_o few_o man_n dare_v say_v upon_o their_o own_o knowledge_n they_o ever_o find_v harm_n by_o either_o and_o this_o casualty_n be_v the_o french-pox_n get_v for_o the_o most_o part_n not_o so_o much_o by_o the_o intemperate_a use_n of_o venery_n which_o rather_o cause_v the_o gout_n as_o of_o many_o common_a woman_n 16._o i_o say_v the_o bill_n of_o mortality_n will_v take_v off_o these_o bar_n which_o keep_v some_o man_n within_o bound_n as_o to_o these_o extravagancy_n for_o in_o the_o aforementioned_a 229250_o we_o find_v not_o above_o 392_o to_o haved_z die_v of_o the_o pox._n now_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o let_v the_o world_n be_v lull_v into_o a_o security_n and_o belief_n of_o impunity_n by_o our_o bill_n which_o we_o intend_v shall_v not_o be_v only_o as_o death's-head_n to_o put_v man_n in_o mind_n of_o their_o mortality_n but_o also_o as_o mercurial_a statue_n to_o point_n out_o the_o most_o dangerous_a way_n that_o lead_v we_o into_o it_o and_o misery_n we_o shall_v therefore_o show_v that_o the_o pox_n be_v not_o as_o the_o toad_n and_o snake_n aforementioned_a but_o of_o a_o quite_o contrary_a nature_n together_o with_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o appear_v otherwise_o 17._o forasmuch_o as_o by_o the_o ordinary_a discourse_n of_o the_o world_n it_o seem_v a_o great_a part_n of_o man_n have_v at_o one_o time_n or_o other_o have_v some_o species_n of_o this_o disease_n i_o wonder_v why_o so_o few_o die_v of_o it_o especial_o because_o i_o can_v not_o take_v that_o to_o be_v so_o harmless_a where_o of_o so_o many_o complain_v very_o fierce_o upon_o inquiry_n i_o find_v that_o those_o who_o die_v of_o it_o out_o of_o the_o hospital_n especial_o that_o of_o king's-land_n and_o the_o lock_n in_o southwark_n be_v return_v of_o ulcer_n and_o sore_n and_o in_o brief_a i_o find_v that_o all_o mention_v to_o die_v of_o the_o french-pox_n be_v reture_v by_o the_o clerk_n of_o saint_n giles_n and_o saint_n martin_n in_o the_o field_n only_o in_o which_o place_n i_o understand_v that_o most_o of_o the_o vile_a and_o most_o miserable_a house_n of_o uncleanness_n be_v from_o whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o only_o hate_a person_n and_o such_o who_o very_a nose_n be_v eat_v of_o be_v report_v by_o the_o searcher_n to_o have_v die_v of_o this_o too_o frequent_a malady_n 18._o in_o the_o next_o place_n it_o shall_v be_v examine_v under_o what_o name_n or_o casualty_n such_o as_o die_v of_o these_o disease_n be_v bring_v in_o i_o say_v under_o the_o consumption_n forasmuch_o as_o all_o die_a thereof_o die_v so_o emaciate_v and_o lean_a their_o ulcer_n disappear_v upon_o death_n that_o the_o old-woman_n searcher_n after_o the_o mist_n of_o a_o cup_n of_o ale_n and_o the_o bribe_n of_o a_o two-groat_n fee_n instead_o of_o one_o give_v they_o can_v tell_v whether_o this_o emaciation_n or_o leanness_n be_v from_o a_o phthisis_fw-la or_o from_o a_o hectic_a fever_n atrophy_n etc._n etc._n or_o from_o a_o infection_n of_o the_o spermatick_a part_n which_o in_o length_n of_o time_n and_o in_o various_a disguise_n have_v at_o last_o vitiate_v the_o habit_n of_o the_o body_n and_o by_o disable_n the_o part_n to_o digest_v their_o nourishment_n bring_v they_o to_o the_o condition_n of_o leanness_n above_o mention_v 19_o my_o next_o observation_n be_v that_o of_o the_o rickets_o we_o find_v no_o mention_n among_o the_o
10._o that_o be_v almost_o the_o triplicate_v of_o the_o former_a proportion_n for_o the_o cube_n of_o 7._o be_v 343._o and_o the_o cube_n of_o 10._o be_v 1000_o the_o say_v 343._o be_v not_o 2_o 5._o of_o 1000_o 4._o in_o anno_fw-la 1603._o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o plague_n to_o the_o whole_a be_v as_o 30_o to_o 37._o viz._n as_o 4._o to_o 5._o which_o be_v yet_o great_a than_o that_o last_o of_o 7_o to_o 20._o for_o if_o the_o year_n 1625._o have_v be_v as_o great_a a_o plague-year_n as_o 1603._o there_o must_v have_v die_v not_o only_o 7_o to_o 10._o but_o 8_o to_o 10._o which_o in_o those_o great_a number_n make_v a_o vast_a difference_n 5._o we_o must_v therefore_o conclude_v the_o year_n 1603._o to_o have_v be_v the_o great_a plague-year_n of_o this_o age_n 6._o now_o to_o know_v in_o which_o of_o these_o 4._o be_v the_o great_a mortality_n at_o large_a we_o reason_v thus_o anno_fw-la 1592._o bury_v 26490_o or_o as_o 6_o christen_v 4277_o 1_o  _fw-fr there_o die_v in_o

it_o appear_v that_o anno_fw-la 1636._o the_o christen_n be_v about_o ⅖_n part_n of_o the_o burial_n anno_fw-la 1592._o but_o ⅙_n but_o in_o the_o year_n 1603._o and_o 1625._o not_o above_o a_o eight_o so_o that_o the_o say_v two_o year_n be_v the_o year_n of_o great_a mortality_n we_o say_v that_o the_o year_n 1603._o be_v the_o great_a plague_n year_n and_o now_o we_o say_v that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o a_o great_a year_n of_o mortality_n then_o anno_fw-la 1625._o now_o to_o reconcile_v these_o two_o position_n we_o must_v allege_v that_o anno_fw-la 1625._o there_o be_v error_n in_o the_o accompot_n or_o distinction_n of_o the_o casualty_n that_o be_v more_o die_v of_o the_o plague_n than_o be_v account_v for_o under_o that_o name_n which_o allegation_n we_o also_o prove_v thus_o viz._n 8._o in_o the_o say_a year_n 1625._o there_o be_v say_v to_o have_v die_v of_o the_o plague_n 35417._o and_o of_o all_o other_o disease_n 18848._o whereas_o in_o the_o year_n both_o before_o

18_o to_o our_o 35._o the_o whole_a will_v be_v 46000._o which_o bear_v to_o the_o whole_a 54000._o as_o about_o 4._o to_o 5._o thereby_o render_v the_o say_a year_n 1625._o to_o be_v as_o great_a a_o plague-year_n as_o that_o of_o 1603._o and_o no_o great_a which_o answer_v to_o what_o we_o prove_v before_o viz._n that_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o two_o year_n be_v equal_a 9_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v probable_o suspect_v that_o about_o ¼_n part_v more_o die_v of_o the_o plague_n then_o be_v return_v for_o such_o which_o we_o further_o prove_v by_o nothing_o that_o anno_fw-la 1636._o there_o die_v 10400._o of_o the_o plague_n the_o ¼_n whereof_o be_v 2600._o now_o there_o be_v say_v to_o have_v die_v of_o all_o disease_n that_o year_n 12959._o out_o of_o which_o number_n deduct_v 2600._o there_o remain_v 10359._o more_o than_o which_o there_o die_v not_o in_o several_a year_n next_o before_o and_o after_o the_o say_a year_n 1636._o 10._o the_o next_o observation_n we_o shall_v offer_v be_v that_o the_o plague_n of_o 1603._o last_v eight_o year_n in_o some_o whereof_o there_o die_v above_o 4000_o in_o other_o above_o 2000_o and_o in_o but_o one_o less_o than_o 600_o whereas_o in_o the_o year_n 1624._o next_o precede_v and_o in_o the_o year_n 1626._o next_o follow_v the_o say_v great_a plague-year_n 1625._o there_o die_v in_o the_o former_a but_o 11_o and_o in_o the_o latter_a but_o 134._o of_o the_o plague_n moreover_o in_o the_o say_a year_n 1625._o the_o plague_n decrease_v from_o its_o utmost_a number_n 4461_o a_o week_n to_o below_o 1000_o within_o six_o week_n 11._o the_o plague_n of_o 1636._o last_v twelve_o year_n in_o eight_o whereof_o there_o die_v 2000_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la one_o with_o another_o and_o never_o under_o 300._o the_o which_o show_v that_o the_o contagion_n of_o the_o plague_n depend_v more_o upon_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o air_n then_o upon_o the_o effluvia_fw-la from_o the_o body_n of_o men._n 12._o which_o also_o we_o prove_v by_o the_o sudden_a jump_n which_o the_o plague_n have_v make_v leap_v in_o one_o week_n from_o 118_o to_o 927_o and_o back_o again_o from_o 993_o to_o 258_o and_o from_o thence_o again_o the_o very_a next_o week_n to_o 852._o the_o which_o effect_n must_v sure_o be_v rather_o attribute_v to_o change_v of_o the_o air_n then_o of_o the_o constitution_n of_o man_n body_n otherwise_o then_o as_o this_o depend_v upon_o that_o 13._o it_o may_v be_v also_o note_v that_o many_o time_n other_o pestilential_a disease_n as_o purple-feaver_n smallpox_n etc._n etc._n do_v forerun_v the_o plague_n a_o year_n two_o or_o three_o for_o in_o 1622_o there_o die_v but_o 8000._o in_o 1623._o 11000_o in_o 24._o about_o 12000_o till_o in_o 1625_o there_o die_v of_o all_o disease_n above_o 54000._o chap._n v._o other_o observation_n upon_o the_o plague_n and_o casualty_n 1._o the_o decrease_v and_o increase_v of_o people_n be_v to_o be_v reckon_v chief_o by_o christen_n because_o few_o bear_v child_n in_o london_n but_o inhabitant_n though_o other_o die_v there_o the_o account_n of_o christen_n be_v well_o keep_v until_o difference_n in_o religion_n occasion_v some_o neglect_n therein_o although_o even_o these_o neglect_v we_o must_v confess_v to_o have_v be_v regular_a and_o proportionable_a 2._o by_o the_o number_n and_o proportion_n of_o christen_n therefore_o we_o observe_v as_o follow_v viz._n first_o that_o when_o from_o december_n 1602_o to_o march_v follow_v there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o plague_n than_o the_o christen_n at_o a_o medium_fw-la be_v between_o 110_o and_o 130_o per_fw-la week_n few_o week_n be_v above_o the_o one_o or_o below_o the_o other_o but_o when_o from_o thence_o to_o july_n the_o plague_n increase_v that_o then_o the_o christen_n decrease_v to_o under_o 90._o second_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o teeming-woman_n die_v or_o flee_v or_o miscarry_v the_o late_a at_o this_o time_n seem_v most_o probable_a because_o even_o in_o the_o say_a space_n between_o march_n and_o july_n there_o die_v not_o above_o twenty_o per_fw-la week_n of_o the_o plague_n which_o small_a number_n can_v neither_o cause_v the_o death_n or_o flight_n of_o so_o many_o woman_n as_o to_o alter_v the_o proportion_n ¼_n part_v low_a 3._o moreover_o we_o observe_v from_o the_o 21_o of_o july_n to_o the_o 21_o of_o october_n the_o plague_n increase_v reduce_v the_o christen_n to_o 70_o at_o a_o medium_fw-la diminish_v the_o above_o proportion_n down_o to_o ⅖_n now_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o must_v be_v fly_v and_o death_n as_o well_o as_o miscarriage_n and_o abortion_n for_o there_o die_v within_o that_o time_n about_o 25000_o whereof_o many_o be_v certain_o woman_n with_o child_n beside_o the_o fright_n of_o so_o many_o die_a within_o so_o small_a a_o time_n may_v drive_v away_o so_o many_o other_o as_o to_o cause_v this_o effect_n 4._o from_o december_n 1624._o to_o the_o middle_n of_o april_n 1625_o there_o die_v not_o above_o 5_o a_o week_n of_o the_o plague_n one_o with_o another_o in_o this_o time_n the_o christen_n be_v one_o with_o another_o 180._o the_o which_o decrease_v gradual_o by_o the_o 22_o of_o

it_o must_v be_v by_o new_a afflux_n to_o london_n out_o of_o the_o country_n 7._o we_o may_v fortify_v this_o assertion_n by_o show_v that_o before_o the_o plague-year_n 1603_o the_o christen_n be_v about_o 6000_o which_o be_v in_o
the_o twenty_o female_n there_o will_v be_v little_a or_o no_o conception_n in_o any_o of_o they_o all_o iii_o and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o fox_n wolf_n and_o other_o vermin_n animal_n that_o be_v not_o geld_v increase_v not_o fast_o than_o sheep_n when_o as_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o these_o be_v daily_o butcher_v and_o very_o few_o of_o the_o other_o die_v otherwise_o then_o of_o themselves_o 4._o we_o have_v hitherto_o say_v there_o be_v more_o male_n than_o female_n we_o say_v next_o that_o the_o one_o exceed_v the_o other_o by_o about_o a_o thirteen_o part_n so_o that_o although_o more_o man_n die_v violent_a death_n than_o woman_n that_o be_v more_o be_v slay_v in_o war_n kill_v by_o mischance_n drown_v at_o sea_n and_o die_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o justice_n moreover_o more_o man_n go_v to_o colony_n and_o travel_v into_o foreign_a part_n than_o woman_n and_o last_o more_o remain_v unmarried_a then_o of_o woman_n as_o fellow_n of_o college_n and_o apprentice_n above_o eighteen_o etc._n etc._n yet_o the_o say_v thirteen_o part_n difference_n bring_v the_o business_n but_o to_o such_o a_o pass_n that_o every_o woman_n may_v have_v a_o husband_n without_o the_o allowance_n of_o polygamy_n 5._o moreover_o although_o a_o man_n be_v prolifique_a forty_o year_n and_o a_o woman_n but_o five_o and_o twenty_o which_o make_v the_o male_n to_o be_v as_o 560_o to_o 325_o female_n yet_o the_o cause_n above_o name_v and_o the_o late_a marriage_n of_o the_o man_n reduce_v all_o to_o a_o equality_n 6._o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v fourteen_o man_n to_o thirteen_o woman_n and_o that_o they_o die_v in_o the_o same_o proportion_n also_o yet_o i_o have_v hear_v physician_n say_v that_o they_o have_v two_o woman_n patient_n to_o one_o man_n which_o assertion_n seem_v very_o likely_a for_o that_o woman_n have_v either_o the_o green-sickness_n or_o other_o like_a distemper_n be_v sick_a of_o breed_n abortion_n child-bearing_a sore-breast_n whites_n obstruction_n fit_v of_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o like_a 7._o now_o from_o this_o it_o shall_v follow_v that_o more_o woman_n shall_v die_v then_o man_n if_o the_o number_n of_o burial_n answer_v in_o proportion_n to_o that_o of_o sickness_n but_o this_o must_v be_v salve_v either_o by_o the_o allege_v that_o the_o physician_n cure_v those_o sickness_n so_o as_o few_o more_o die_v then_o if_o none_o be_v sick_a or_o else_o that_o man_n be_v more_o intemperate_a than_o woman_n die_v as_o much_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o vice_n as_o the_o woman_n do_v by_o the_o infirmity_n of_o their_o sex_n and_o consequent_o more_o male_n be_v bear_v than_o female_n more_o also_o die_v 8._o in_o the_o year_n 1642_o many_o male_n go_v out_o of_o london_n into_o the_o war_n than_o beginning_n in_o so_o much_o as_o i_o expect_v in_o the_o succeed_a year_n 1643_o to_o have_v find_v the_o burial_n of_o female_n to_o have_v exceed_v those_o of_o males_n but_o no_o alteration_n appear_v for_o as_o much_o as_o i_o suppose_v trading_n continue_v the_o same_o in_o london_n all_o those_o who_o lose_v their_o apprentice_n have_v other_o out_o of_o the_o country_n and_o if_o any_o leave_v their_o trade_n or_o shop_n that_o other_o forthwith_o succeed_v they_o for_o if_o employment_n for_o hand_n remain_v the_o same_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o number_n of_o they_o can_v not_o long_o continue_v in_o disproportion_n 9_o another_o pregnant_a argument_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n which_o have_v already_o be_v touch_v on_o be_v that_o although_o in_o the_o very_a year_n of_o the_o plague_n the_o christen_n decrease_v by_o the_o die_a and_o fly_v of_o teeming-woman_n yet_o the_o very_a next_o year_n after_o they_o increase_v somewhat_o but_o the_o second_o after_o to_o as_o full_a a_o number_n as_o in_o the_o second_o year_n before_o the_o say_a plague_n for_o i_o say_v again_o if_o there_o be_v encouragement_n for_o a_o hundred_o in_o london_n that_o be_v a_o way_n how_o a_o hundred_o may_v live_v better_o then_o in_o the_o country_n and_o if_o there_o be_v void_a house_n there_o to_o receive_v they_o the_o evacuate_a of_o a_o ¼th_n or_o ⅓_n part_n of_o that_o number_n must_v soon_o be_v supply_v out_o of_o the_o country_n so_o as_o the_o great_a plague_n do_v not_o lessen_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o city_n but_o of_o the_o country_n who_o in_o a_o short_a time_n remove_v themselves_o from_o hence_o thither_o so_o long_o until_o the_o city_n for_o want_v of_o receipt_n and_o encouragement_n regurgitate_v and_o send_v they_o back_o 10._o from_o the_o difference_n between_o males_n and_o female_n we_o see_v the_o reason_n of_o make_v eunuch_n in_o those_o place_n where_o polygamy_n be_v allow_v the_o latter_a be_v
