viz. the Turbervils In Carmarthen not one In Denbighshire but one And it may be worthy the Readers knowledge that Sir William Petty a great Master of Numbers and Calculations having in the late Reign of King James enquired from some of his R. C. Bish●ps what Numbers of Children they had Confirm'd throughout the Kingdom gave his judgment that all the Papists in England Men Women and Children were but 32000. And that George Fox in 44 Years hath made more Quakers five times than the Pope of Rome and all his Jesuits and other Emissaries have made Papists But as to the defectiveness of that Survey as to the Non-conformists the following Memorial was given by Sir P. P. to one of King James's Ministers viz. Whereas in the Survey of t●e Numbers of several Religionary Persuasions within the Province of Canterbury above the Age of Sixteen returned in the Year 1676. the Total of the Nonconformists there return'd was 93154. and consequently the Nonconformists under the Age of Sixteen doubling the aforesaid Number there made the Total of all the Nonconformists there to be but 186308. The defectiveness of the said Survey does most plainly appear by the instance of the short return there as to the Diocess of London For that Survey making the Conformists above the Age of Sixteen in that Diocess to be 263385 and the Nonconformists there under that Age to be 20893. and the Papists there under that Age to be 2069 makes by doubling that Total with those under the Age of Sixteen Years to be but 286347. Whereas Sir William Petty by his late Printed Calculations hath made the Number of the People of London to be in all 696360. But the Diocess of London taking in all the other places in Middlesex that are without the Bills of Mortality and taking in likewise all Essex and part of Darthfortshire it appears thereby how extreamly defective the return of the Total for the Diocess of London was For the County of Essex bearing a two and twentieth part of the Taxes of this Kingdom and supposing the whole Kingdom to have but 7000000. the Number of People in Essex at that rate will be 318181. And in Fine as I have in another Paper set down the Total of the Burials and Christenings for the Year 1686 the Registred Christenings being near one Third part less than the Burials it may be thence inferr'd that near a Third part that Year were Nonconformists and so if we should Accompt the People then within the Bills of Mortality to have been but 600000 the Nonconformists there then were about 200000. The Reason of this Calculation of a third part being then within the Bills of Mortality Nonconformists is that the Christenings do there in common Years reverâ exceed the Burials the which appears out of the Amsterdam and Paris Bills of Mortality and where Christenings are carefully Registred But within the London Bills the Christenings of Nonconformists Children are not Registred SIR P. Pett judging it might tend to the publick benefit of Mankind to have the Lord Secretary Falklands Works Publish'd together in one Volume in Folio wrote to the late Bishop of Lincolne a large Letter acquainting his Lordship with his design about the same and that in his Lordships Life to be writ before the Book he intended a short Relation of some Memoirs wherein the Lord Falklands great Wit and Moral Perfections were Conspicuous And with the materials of which he was supplied in Discourse from the Lord Chief Justice Vaughan Mr. Robert Boyle and the Lady Ranalagh his Sister and Mr. Abraham Cowly and Mr. Edmund Waller who all had the Honour of his Friendship and frequent Conversation The two latter Persons having Celebrated his Lordships worth in their Immortal Poems and Sir P. told the Bishop he intended to Print their Verses before his Works And Sir P. Considering that the Bishop had often mention'd to him his frequent Conversation with my Lord Falkland at his House at Tew he thought fit to engage the Bishop to furnish him with some materials of Facts relating to his Lordship that might be worthy of the knowledge of the World Sir P. further mention'd it in his Letter to the Bishop that beside the great Learning Reasons and Judgment expess'd in my Lord Falklands Printed Writings there is an incomparable happy mixture of so much of that Great Beautiful Charming thing call'd Wit that the measures of Decorum would admit no more according to that known saying of Mr. Cowley in his Ode of Wit Rather than all be Wit i. e. in writings let none be there And therefore Sir P. thought that the publication of that Lords writings would be serviceable to future Writers as a standard for their measures to be govern'd by Sir P. further took notice in his Letter with what great Honour to my Lord Falklands Memory Mr. Marvel in p. 387. of the second part of his Rehersal Transprosed refers to two of his Lordships Speeches in the Long Parliament the first whereof concerning Episcopacy he saith begins thus He is a great stranger in Israel who knoweth not c. and the other at the delivery of the Articles against my Lord Keeper And Sir P. further observ'd how in the Printed Papers that passed between the late Earl of Clarendon and Serenus Cressy both the Antagonists agreed in their Celebrations of my Lord Falklands and how that Earl in p. 185. of his Animadversions on Cressys Book against Dr. Stillingfleet mentions the Lord Falkland to be a Nobleman of most prodigious Learning of the most exemplary manners and singular good nature of the most unblemish'd integrity and the greatest O nament of the Nation that any Age hath produced Whereupon the Bishop return'd him the following Answer and which he concludes with bearing his Testimony as I may say to some former writers of Loyalty My Ancient and good Friend I Have receiv'd yours and am very glad to hear by any hand especially your own of your health which I pray God continue to his glory your Countries good and the comfort of your Friends I return my thanks for your long Letter though being yours it did not seem so to me You are pleased to inquire after many Books and their Authors and require me to give you my Judgment and Character of both For my Judgment quod so●o quam sit exiguum I shall freely give you my Opinion sine ostentatione aut odio partium And here first it seems that you are about publishing my Lord Viscount Falkland's Life and Writings I have none save what are publish'd and in Print For his Person you do and truly suppose that I was acquainted with his Lordship in Oxford when he was Secretary to his Majesty Charles I. and you think that I may say something to his Honour Really Sir Peter I had the honour to be acquainted with that Illustrious person and did and do know that both his natural and acquired parts were exceeding great he was even in those ●●b●llio●s
