how much Hay an Acre of every sort of Meadow will bear how many Cattel the same weight of each sort of Hay will feed and fatten what quantity of Grain and other Commodities the same Acre will bear in one three or seven years communibus Annis unto what use each soil is most proper All which particulars I call the intrinsick value for there is also another value meerly accidental or extrinsick consisting of the Causes why a parcel of Land lying near a good Market may be worth double to another parcel though but of the same intrinsick goodness which answers the Queries why Lands in the North of England are worth but sixteen years purchase and those of the West above eight and twenty It is no less necessary to know how many People there be of each Sex State Age Religion Trade Rank or Degree c. by the knowledg whereof Trade and Government may be made more certain and Regular for if men knew the People as aforesaid they might know the consumption they would make so as Trade might not be hoped for where it is impossible As for instance I have heard much complaint that Trade is not set up in some of the South-western and North-western Parts of Ireland there being so many excellent Harbours for that purpose whereas in several of those Places I have also heard that there are few other Inhabitants but such as live ex sponte creatis and are unfit Subjects of Trade as neither employing others nor working themselves Moreover if all these things were clearly and truly known which I have but guessed at it would appear how small a part of the People work upon necessary Labours and Callings viz. how many Women and Children do just nothing onely learning to spend what others get how many are meer Voluptuaries and as it were meer Gamesters by Trade how many live by puzling poor people with unintelligible Notions in Divinity and Philosophie how many by perswading credulous delicate and Litigious Persons that their Bodies or Estates are out of Tune and in danger how many by fighting as Souldiers how many by Ministeries of Vice and Sin how many by Trades of meer Pleasure or Ornaments and how many in a way of lazie attendance c. upon others And on the other side how few are employed in raising and working necessary food and covering and of the speculative men how few do truly studie Nature and Things The more ingenious not advancing much further then to write and speak wittily about these matters I conclude That a clear knowledge of all these particulars and many more whereat I have shot but at rovers is necessary in order to good certain and easie Government and even to balance Parties and factions both in Church and State But whether the knowledge thereof be necessary to many or fit for others then the Sovereign and his chief Ministers I leave to consideration THE TABLE OF CASVALTIES                                               1629 1633 1647 1651 1655 1629 In 20                                               1630 1634 1648 1652 1656 1649
