that_o the_o assessment_n of_o london_n be_v about_o a_o wales_n a_o the_o people_n of_o london_n be_v about_o the_o 11_o part_n of_o all_o england_n and_o wales_n eleven_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a

the_o bishop_n late_o number_v of_o the_o communicant_n do_v pretty_a well_o agree_v wherefore_o although_o the_o say_a number_n of_o seven_o million_o three_o hundred_o sixty_o nine_o thousand_o be_v not_o as_o it_o can_v be_v a_o demonstrate_v truth_n yet_o it_o will_v serve_v for_o a_o good_a supposition_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o we_o want_v at_o present_a as_o for_o the_o time_n in_o which_o the_o people_n double_a it_o be_v yet_o more_o hard_a to_o be_v find_v for_o we_o have_v good_a experience_n in_o the_o say_v 94_o pag._n of_o the_o aforementioned_a observation_n that_o in_o

if_o the_o birth_n be_v as_o twenty_o four_o to_o twenty_o three_o than_o the_o increase_n of_o the_o people_n shall_v be_v somewhat_o above_o half_a a_o man_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o consequent_o the_o suppose_a number_n of_o 600_o can_v be_v double_v but_o in_o 1126_o year_n which_o to_o reckon_v in_o round_a number_n and_o for_o that_o the_o aforementioned_a fraction_n be_v not_o exact_a we_o have_v rather_o call_v 1200._o there_o be_v also_o other_o good_a observation_n that_o even_o in_o the_o country_n one_o in_o about_o 30_o or_o 32_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la have_v die_v and_o that_o there_o have_v be_v five_o birth_n for_o four_o burial_n now_o according_a to_o this_o doctrine_n 20_o will_v die_v per_fw-la annum_fw-la out_o of_o the_o above_o 600_o and_o 25_o will_v be_v bear_v so_o as_o the_o increase_n will_v be_v 5_o which_o be_v a_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o part_n of_o the_o say_v 600._o so_o as_o we_o have_v two_o fair_a computation_n differ_v from_o each_o other_o as_o one_o to_o ten_o and_o there_o be_v also_o several_a other_o good_a observation_n for_o other_o measure_n i_o may_v here_o insert_v that_o although_o the_o birth_n in_o this_o last_o computation_n be_v 25_o of_o 600_o or_o a_o twenty_o four_o part_n of_o the_o people_n yet_o that_o in_o natural_a possibility_n they_o may_v be_v near_o thrice_o as_o many_o and_o near_o 75._o for_o that_o by_o some_o late_a observation_n the_o teem_v female_n between_o 15_o and_o 44_o be_v about_o 180_o of_o the_o say_v 600_o and_o the_o male_n of_o between_o 18_o and_o 59_o be_v about_o 180_o also_o and_o that_o every_o teem_v woman_n can_v bear_v a_o child_n once_o in_o two_o year_n from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o birth_n may_v be_v 90_o and_o abate_v 15_o for_o sickness_n young_a abortion_n and_o natural_a barrenness_n there_o may_v remain_v 75_o birth_n which_o be_v a_o eight_o of_o the_o people_n which_o by_o some_o observation_n we_o have_v find_v to_o be_v but_o a_o two_o and_o thirty_o part_n or_o but_o a_o quarter_n of_o what_o be_v thus_o show_v to_o be_v natural_o possible_a now_o according_a to_o this_o reckon_a if_o the_o birth_n may_v be_v 75_o of_o 600_o and_o the_o burial_n but_o 15_o than_o the_o annual_a increase_n of_o the_o people_n will_v be_v 60_o and_o so_o the_o say_v 600_o people_n may_v double_v in_o 10_o year_n which_o differ_v yet_o more_o from_o 1200_o abovemention_v now_o to_o get_v out_o of_o this_o difficulty_n and_o to_o temper_v those_o vast_a disagreement_n i_o take_v the_o medium_fw-la of_o 50_o and_o 30_o die_a per_fw-la annum_fw-la and_o pitch_v upon_o 40_o and_o i_o also_o take_v the_o medium_fw-la between_o 24_o birth_n and_o 23_o burial_n and_o 5_o birth_n for_o 4_o burial_n viz._n allow_v about_o 10_o birth_n for_o 9_o burial_n upon_o which_o supposition_n there_o must_v die_v 15_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la out_o of_o the_o abovementioned_a 600_o and_o the_o birth_n must_v be_v 16_o and_o two_o
