not_o practicable_a wherefore_o the_o true_a question_n be_v unto_o or_o towards_o which_o of_o the_o say_v two_o extravagant_a state_n be_v best_a to_o bend_v the_o present_a state_n by_o degree_n viz._n whether_o it_o be_v best_a to_o lessen_v or_o enlarge_v the_o present_a city_n in_o order_n whereunto_o we_o inquire_v as_o to_o the_o first_o question_n which_o state_n be_v most_o defensible_a against_o foreign_a power_n saying_n that_o if_o the_o abovementioned_a house_n and_o a_o border_n of_o ground_n of_o three_o quarter_n of_o a_o mile_n broad_a be_v encompass_v with_o a_o wall_n and_o ditch_n of_o twenty_o mile_n about_o as_o strong_a as_o any_o in_o europe_n which_o will_v cost_v but_o a_o million_o or_o about_o a_o penny_n in_o the_o shilling_n of_o the_o house-rent_n for_o one_o year_n what_o foreign_a prince_n can_v bring_v a_o army_n from_o beyond_o sea_n able_a to_o beat_v 1._o our_o sea-force_n and_o next_o with_o horse_n harass_v at_o sea_n to_o resist_v all_o the_o fresh_a horse_n that_o england_n can_v make_v and_o then_o conquer_v above_o a_o million_o of_o man_n well_o unite_v discipline_v and_o guard_v within_o such_o a_o wall_n distant_a every_o where_o three_o quarter_n of_o a_o mile_n from_o the_o house_n to_o elude_v the_o granade_n and_o great_a shot_n of_o the_o enemy_n 2._o as_o to_o intestine_a party_n and_o faction_n i_o suppose_v that_o four_o million_o six_o hundred_o and_o ninety_o thousand_o people_n unite_v within_o this_o great_a city_n can_v easy_o govern_v half_a the_o say_a number_n scatter_v without_o it_o and_o that_o a_o few_o man_n in_o arm_n within_o the_o say_a city_n and_o wall_n can_v also_o easy_o govern_v the_o rest_n unarm_v or_o arm_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o the_o sovereign_n shall_v think_v fit_a 3._o as_o to_o uniformity_n in_o religion_n i_o conceive_v that_o if_o st._n martin_n parish_n may_v as_o it_o do_v consist_v of_o about_o forty_o thousand_o soul_n that_o this_o great_a city_n also_o may_v as_o well_o be_v make_v but_o as_o one_o parish_n with_o seven_o time_n one_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o chapel_n in_o which_o may_v not_o only_o be_v a_o uniformity_n of_o common_a prayer_n but_o in_o preach_v also_o for_o that_o a_o thousand_o copy_n of_o one_o judicious_o and_o authentical_o compose_v sermon_n may_v be_v every_o week_n read_v in_o each_o of_o the_o say_a chapel_n without_o any_o subsequent_a repetition_n of_o the_o same_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o homily_n whereas_o in_o england_n wherein_o be_v near_o ten_o thousand_o parish_n in_o each_o of_o which_o upon_o sundays_n holiday_n and_o other_o extraordinary_a occasion_n there_o shall_v be_v about_o one_o hundred_o sermon_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la make_v about_o a_o million_o of_o sermon_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o the_o whole_a it_o be_v a_o miracle_n if_o a_o million_o of_o sermon_n compose_v by_o so_o many_o man_n and_o of_o so_o many_o mind_n and_o method_n shall_v produce_v uniformity_n upon_o the_o discompose_v understanding_n of_o about_o eight_o million_o of_o hearer_n 4._o as_o to_o the_o administration_n of_o justice_n if_o in_o this_o great_a city_n shall_v dwell_v the_o owner_n of_o all_o the_o land_n and_o other_o valuable_a thing_n in_o england_n if_o within_o it_o shall_v be_v all_o the_o trader_n and_o all_o the_o court_n office_n record_n jury_n and_o witness_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o justice_n may_v be_v do_v with_o speed_n and_o ease_n 5._o as_o to_o the_o equality_n and_o easy_a levy_v of_o tax_n it_o be_v too_o certain_a that_o london_n have_v at_o some_o time_n pay_v near_o half_a the_o excise_n of_o england_n and_o that_o the_o people_n pay_v thrice_o as_o much_o for_o the_o hearth_n in_o london_n as_o those_o in_o the_o country_n in_o proportion_n to_o the_o people_n of_o each_o and_o that_o the_o charge_n of_o collect_v these_o duty_n have_v be_v about_o a_o six_o part_n of_o the_o duty_n itself_o now_o in_o this_o great_a city_n the_o excise_n alone_o according_a to_o the_o present_a law_n will_v not_o only_o be_v double_a to_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n but_o also_o more_o equal_a and_o the_o duty_n of_o hearth_n of_o the_o say_a city_n will_v exceed_v the_o present_n proceed_v of_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n and_o as_o for_o the_o custom_n we_o mention_v they_o not_o at_o present_a 6._o whether_o more_o will_v be_v gain_v by_o foreign_a commerce_n the_o gain_n which_o england_n make_v by_o lead_n coal_n the_o freight_n of_o ship_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v the_o same_o for_o aught_o i_o see_v in_o both_o case_n but_o the_o gain_n which_o be_v make_v by_o manufacture_n will_v be_v great_a as_o the_o manufacture_n itself_o be_v great_a and_o better_a for_o in_o so_o vast_a a_o city_n manufacture_n will_v beget_v one_o another_o and_o each_o manufacture_n will_v be_v divide_v into_o as_o many_o part_n as_o possible_a whereby_o the_o work_n of_o each_o artisan_n will_v be_v simple_a and_o easy_a as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o make_n of_o a_o watch_n if_o one_o man_n shall_v make_v the_o wheel_n another_o the_o spring_n another_o shall_v engrave_v the_o dial-plate_n and_o another_o shall_v make_v the_o case_n than_o the_o watch_n will_v be_v better_a and_o cheap_a than_o if_o the_o whole_a work_n be_v put_v upon_o any_o one_o man._n and_o we_o also_o see_v that_o in_o town_n and_o in_o the_o street_n of_o a_o great_a town_n where_o all_o the_o inhabitant_n be_v almost_o of_o one_o trade_n the_o commodity_n peculiar_a to_o those_o place_n be_v make_v better_a and_o cheap_a than_o elsewhere_o moreover_o when_o all_o sort_n of_o manufacture_n be_v make_v in_o one_o place_n there_o every_o ship_n that_o go_v forth_o can_v sudden_o have_v its_o load_n of_o so_o many_o several_a particular_n and_o species_n as_o the_o port_n whereunto_o she_o be_v bind_v can_v take_v off_o again_o when_o the_o several_a manufacture_n be_v make_v in_o one_o place_n and_o ship_v off_o in_o another_o the_o carriage_n postage_n and_o travelling-charge_n will_v enhance_v the_o price_n of_o such_o manufacture_n and_o lessen_v the_o gain_n upon_o foreign_a commerce_n and_o last_o when_o the_o import_v good_n be_v spend_v in_o the_o port_n itself_o where_o they_o be_v land_v the_o carriage_n of_o the_o same_o into_o other_o place_n will_v create_v no_o surcharge_n upon_o such_o commodity_n all_o which_o particular_n tend_v to_o the_o great_a gain_n by_o foreign_a commerce_n 7._o as_o for_o art_n of_o delight_n and_o ornament_n they_o be_v best_a promote_v by_o the_o great_a number_n of_o emulator_n and_o it_o be_v more_o likely_a that_o one_o ingenious_a curious_a man_n may_v rather_o be_v find_v out_o among_o four_o million_o then_o four_o hundred_o person_n but_o as_o for_o husbandry_n viz._n tillage_n and_o pasturage_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o the_o second_o state_n when_o each_o family_n be_v charge_v with_o the_o culture_n of_o about_o twenty_o four_o acre_n will_v best_o promote_v the_o same_o 8._o as_o for_o lessen_v the_o fatigue_n of_o carriage_n and_o travel_v the_o thing_n speak_v itself_o for_o if_o all_o the_o man_n of_o business_n and_o all_o artisan_n do_v live_v within_o five_o mile_n of_o each_o other_o and_o if_o those_o who_o live_v without_o the_o great_a city_n do_v spend_v only_o such_o commodity_n as_o grow_v where_o they_o live_v than_o the_o charge_n of_o carriage_n and_o travel_a can_v be_v little_a 9_o as_o to_o the_o prevent_n of_o beggar_n and_o thief_n i_o do_v not_o find_v how_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o

2._o those_o who_o be_v unable_a to_o work_n through_o the_o evil_a education_n of_o their_o parent_n ought_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v to_o be_v maintain_v by_o their_o near_a kindred_n as_o a_o
