iu._n that_o the_o people_n and_o territory_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n be_v natural_o near_a as_o considerable_a for_o wealth_n and_o strength_n as_o those_o of_o france_n the_o author_n of_o the_o state_n of_o england_n france_n among_o the_o many_o useful_a truth_n and_o observation_n he_o have_v set_v down_o deliver_v the_o proportion_n between_o the_o territory_n of_o england_n and_o

altogether_o be_v near_o as_o big_a as_o france_n though_o i_o ought_v to_o take_v all_o advantage_n for_o prove_v the_o paradox_n in_o hand_n yet_o i_o have_v rather_o grant_v that_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n with_o the_o island_n before_o mention_v together_o with_o the_o plant_v part_n of_o newfoundland_n new-england_n new-netherland_n virginia_n mary-land_n carolina_n jamaica_n burmoudas_n barbados_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o carribby_n island_n with_o what_o the_o king_n have_v in_o asia_n and_o africa_n do_v not_o contain_v so_o much_o territory_n as_o france_n and_o what_o plant_v land_n the_o king_n of_o france_n have_v also_o in_o america_n and_o if_o any_o man_n will_v be_v heterodox_n in_o behalf_n of_o the_o french_a interest_n i_o will_v be_v content_v against_o my_o knowledge_n and_o judgement_n to_o allow_v the_o king_n of_o france_n territory_n to_o be_v a_o seven_o six_o or_o even_o a_o five_o great_a than_o those_o of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n believe_v that_o both_o prince_n have_v more_o land_n than_o they_o do_v employ_v to_o its_o utmost_a use_n and_o here_o i_o beg_v leave_n among_o the_o scotland_n several_a matter_n which_o i_o intend_v for_o serious_a to_o interpose_v a_o jocular_a and_o perhaps_o ridiculous_a digression_n and_o which_o i_o indeed_o desire_v man_n to_o look_v upon_o rather_o as_o a_o dream_n or_o resvery_n than_o a_o rational_a proposition_n the_o which_o be_v that_o if_o all_o the_o moveable_n and_o people_n of_o ireland_n and_o of_o the_o highland_n of_o scotland_n be_v transport_v into_o the_o rest_n of_o great_a britain_n that_o then_o the_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n will_v thereby_o become_v more_o rich_a and_o strong_a both_o offensive_o and_o defensive_o than_o now_o they_o be_v it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v hear_v many_o wise_a man_n say_v when_o they_o be_v bewail_v the_o vast_a loss_n of_o the_o english_a in_o prevent_v and_o suppress_v rebellion_n in_o ireland_n and_o consider_v how_o little_a profit_n have_v return_v either_o to_o the_o king_n or_o subject_n of_o england_n for_o their_o five_o hundred_o year_n do_v and_o suffer_v in_o that_o country_n i_o say_v i_o have_v hear_v wise_a man_n in_o such_o their_o melancholy_n wish_v that_o the_o people_n of_o ireland_n be_v save_v island_n be_v sink_v under_o water_n now_o it_o trouble_v i_o that_o the_o distemper_n of_o my_o own_o mind_n in_o this_o point_n carry_v i_o to_o dream_v that_o the_o benefit_n of_o those_o wish_n may_v practical_o be_v obtain_v without_o sink_v that_o vast_a mountainous_a island_n under_o water_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v somewhat_o difficult_a for_o although_o dutch_a engineer_n may_v drain_v its_o bog_n yet_o i_o know_v no_o artist_n that_o can_v sink_v its_o mountain_n if_o ingenious_a and_o learned_a man_n among_o who_o i_o reckon_v sir_n tho._n more_n and_o des_n cartes_n have_v dispute_v that_o we_o who_o think_v ourselves_o awake_a be_v or_o may_v be_v real_o in_o a_o dream_n and_o since_o the_o great_a absurdity_n of_o dream_n be_v but_o a_o preposterous_a and_o tumultuary_a contexture_n of_o reality_n i_o will_v crave_v the_o umbrage_n of_o these_o great_a man_n last_o name_v to_o say_v something_o for_o this_o wild_a conception_n with_o submission_n to_o the_o better_a judgement_n of_o all_o those_o that_o can_v prove_v themselves_o awake_a if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o man_n live_v in_o england_n than_o the_o benefit_n of_o the_o whole_a territory_n can_v be_v but_o the_o livelihood_n of_o that_o one_o man_n but_o if_o another_o man_n be_v add_v the_o rent_n or_o benefit_n of_o the_o same_o will_v be_v double_a if_o two_o triple_a and_o so_o forward_o until_o so_o many_o man_n be_v plant_v in_o it_o as_o the_o whole_a territory_n can_v afford_v food_n unto_o for_o if_o a_o man_n will_v know_v what_o any_o land_n be_v worth_a the_o true_a and_o natural_a question_n must_v be_v how_o many_o man_n will_v it_o feed_v how_o many_o man_n be_v there_o to_o be_v feed_v but_o to_o speak_v more_o practical_o land_n of_o the_o same_o quantity_n and_o quality_n in_o england_n be_v general_o worth_a four_o or_o five_o time_n as_o much_o as_o in_o ireland_n and_o but_o one_o quarter_n or_o three_o of_o what_o it_o be_v worth_a in_o holland_n because_o england_n be_v four_o or_o five_o time_n better_o people_v than_o ireland_n and_o but_o a_o quarter_n so_o well_o as_o holland_n and_o moreover_o where_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n be_v advance_v by_o reason_n of_o multitude_n of_o people_n there_o the_o number_n of_o year_n purchase_v for_o which_o the_o inheritance_n may_v be_v sell_v be_v also_o advance_v though_o perhaps_o not_o in_o the_o very_a same_o proportion_n for_o 20_o s._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la in_o ireland_n may_v be_v worth_a but_o 8_o l._n and_o in_o england_n where_o title_n be_v very_o sure_a above_o 20_o l._n in_o holland_n above_o 30_o l._n i_o suppose_v that_o in_o ireland_n and_o the_o highland_n in_o scotland_n there_o may_v be_v about_o one_o million_o and_o eight_o hundred_o thousand_o people_n or_o about_o a_o five_o part_n of_o what_o be_v in_o all_o the_o three_o kingdom_n wherefore_o the_o first_o question_n will_v be_v whether_o england_n wales_n and_o the_o lowland_n of_o scotland_n can_v afford_v food_n that_o be_v to_o say_v corn_n fish_n flesh_n and_o fowl_n to_o a_o five_o part_v more_o people_n than_o be_v at_o the_o present_a plant_v upon_o it_o with_o the_o same_o labour_n that_o the_o say_v five_o part_n do_v now_o take_v where_o they_o be_v for_o if_o so_o than_o what_o be_v propound_v be_v natural_o possible_a 2._o it_o be_v to_o be_v inquire_v what_o the_o value_n of_o the_o immovables_n which_o upon_o such_o removal_n must_v be_v leave_v behind_o be_v worth_a for_o if_o they_o be_v worth_n less_o than_o the_o advancement_n of_o the_o price_n of_o land_n in_o england_n will_v amount_v unto_o then_o the_o proposal_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v 3._o if_o the_o relict_n land_n and_o the_o immovables_n leave_v behind_o upon_o they_o may_v be_v sell_v for_o money_n or_o if_o no_o other_o nation_n shall_v dare_v meddle_v with_o they_o without_o pay_v well_o for_o they_o and_o if_o the_o nation_n who_o shall_v be_v admit_v shall_v be_v less_o able_a to_o prejudice_n and_o annoy_v the_o transplantee_n into_o england_n then_o before_o then_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o whole_a proposal_n will_v be_v a_o pleasant_a and_o a_o profitable_a dream_n indeed_o as_o to_o the_o first_o point_n whether_o england_n ireland_n and_o the_o lowland_n of_o scotland_n can_v maintain_v a_o five_o part_v more_o people_n than_o they_o now_o do_v that_o be_v to_o say_v nine_o million_o of_o soul_n in_o all_o for_o answer_v thereunto_o i_o first_o say_v that_o the_o say_v territory_n of_o england_n and_o the_o low-land_n of_o scotland_n contain_v about_o thirty_o six_o million_o of_o acre_n that_o be_v four_o acre_n for_o every_o head_n man_n woman_n and_o child_n but_o the_o unite_a province_n do_v not_o allow_v above_o one_o acre_n and_o ½_o and_o england_n itself_o rescinding_a wales_n have_v but_o three_o acre_n to_o every_o head_n according_a to_o the_o present_a state_n of_o tillage_n and_o husbandry_n now_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o england_n have_v but_o three_o acre_n to_o a_o head_n as_o aforesaid_a do_v so_o abound_v in_o victual_n as_o that_o it_o make_v law_n against_o the_o importation_n of_o cattle_n flesh_n and_o fish_n from_o abroad_o and_o that_o the_o drain_n of_o fen_n improve_n of_o forest_n enclose_v of_o commons_o sow_v of_o st._n foin_n and_o clovergrass_n be_v grumble_v against_o by_o landlord_n as_o the_o way_n to_o depress_v the_o price_n of_o victual_n than_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o less_o than_o three_o acre_n improve_v as_o it_o may_v be_v will_v serve_v the_o turn_n and_o consequent_o that_o four_o will_v suffice_v abundant_o i_o can_v here_o set_v down_o the_o very_a number_n of_o acre_n that_o will_v bear_v bread_n and_o drink_n corn_n together_o with_o flesh_n butter_n and_o cheese_n sufficient_a to_o victual_v nine_o million_o of_o person_n as_o they_o be_v victual_v in_o ship_n and_o regular_a family_n but_o shall_v only_o say_v in_o general_a that_o twelve_o million_o of_o acre_n viz._n ⅓_n of_o 36_o

other_o be_v as_o effectual_a as_o the_o thirteen_o in_o point_n of_o strength_n also_o wherefore_o that_o there_o be_v more_o superlucrator_n in_o the_o english_a than_o the_o french_a dominion_n we_o say_v as_o follow_v there_o be_v in_o england_n scotland_n ireland_n subject_n and_o the_o king_n other_o territory_n above_o forty_o thousand_o seaman_n in_o france_n not_o above_o a_o quarter_n so_o many_o but_o one_o seaman_n earn_v as_o much_o as_o three_o common_a husbandman_n wherefore_o this_o difference_n in_o seaman_n add_v to_o the_o account_n of_o the_o king_n of_o england_n subject_n be_v a_o advantage_n equivalent_a to_o sixty_o thousand_o husbandman_n there_o be_v in_o england_n scotland_n and_o ireland_n and_o all_o other_o the_o king_n of_o england_n territory_n six_o hundred_o thousand_o tun_n of_o ship_n worth_a about_o four_o million_o and_o a_o ½_o of_o money_n and_o the_o annual_a charge_n of_o maintain_v the_o ship_n of_o england_n by_o new_a building_n and_o reparation_n be_v about_o ½_o part_n of_o the_o same_o sum_n which_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o one_o hundred_o and_o fifty_o thousand_o husbandman_n but_o be_v not_o the_o wage_n of_o above_o ⅓_n part_n of_o so_o many_o artisan_n as_o be_v employ_v upon_o ship_n of_o all_o sort_n viz._n shipright_n calker_n joiner_n carver_n painter_n blockmaker_n rope-maker_n mast-maker_n smith_n of_o

upon_o which_o ground_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o england_n can_v be_v supply_v with_o all_o gross_a and_o bulkey_a commodity_n of_o foreign_a growth_n and_o manufacture_n at_o far_o cheap_a rate_n
