that_o conveniency_n for_o ship_n and_o water-carriage_n do_v most_o eminent_o and_o fundamental_o conduce_v thereunto_o this_o first_o principal_a conclusion_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o length_n i_o

and_o territory_n this_o part_n of_o the_o first_o principal_a conclusion_n many_o need_v little_a proof_n forasmuch_o as_o one_o acre_n of_o land_n may_v bear_v as_o much_o corn_n and_o feed_v as_o many_o cattle_n as_o twenty_o by_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o soil_n some_o parcel_n of_o ground_n be_v natural_o so_o defensible_a as_o that_o a_o hundred_o man_n be_v possess_v thereof_o can_v resist_v the_o invasion_n of_o five_o hundred_o and_o bad_a land_n may_v be_v improve_v and_o make_v good_a bog_n may_v by_o drain_n be_v make_v meadow_n heath-land_n may_v as_o in_o flanders_n be_v make_v to_o bear_v flax_n and_o clover_n grass_n so_o as_o to_o advance_v in_o value_n from_o one_o to_o a_o hundred_o the_o same_o land_n be_v build_v upon_o may_v centuple_v the_o rent_n which_o it_o yield_v as_o pasture_n one_o man_n be_v more_o nimble_a or_o strong_a and_o more_o patient_a of_o labour_n than_o another_o one_o man_n by_o art_n may_v do_v as_o much_o work_n as_o many_o without_o it_o viz._n one_o man_n with_o a_o mill_n can_v grind_v as_o much_o corn_n as_o twenty_o can_v pound_v in_o a_o mortar_n one_o printer_n can_v make_v as_o many_o copy_n as_o a_o hundred_o man_n can_v write_v by_o hand_n one_o horse_n can_v carry_v upon_o wheel_n as_o much_o as_o five_o upon_o their_o back_n and_o in_o a_o boat_n or_o upon_o ice_n as_o twenty_o so_o that_o i_o say_v again_o this_o first_o point_n of_o this_o general_a position_n needs_o little_a or_o no_o proof_n but_o the_o second_o and_o more_o material_a part_n of_o this_o conclusion_n be_v that_o this_o difference_n in_o land_n and_o people_n arise_v principal_o from_o their_o situation_n trade_n and_o policy_n to_o clear_v this_o i_o shall_v compare_v holland_n france_n and_o zealand_n with_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n viz._n holland_n and_o zealand_n do_v not_o contain_v above_o one_o million_o of_o english_a acre_n whereas_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n contain_v above_o 80._o now_o the_o original_a and_o primitive_a difference_n hold_v proportion_n as_o land_n to_o land_n for_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v that_o when_o these_o place_n be_v first_o plant_v whether_o a_o acre_n in_o france_n be_v better_a than_o the_o like_a quantity_n in_o holland_n and_o zealand_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n to_o suppose_v but_o that_o therefore_o upon_o the_o first_o plantation_n the_o number_n of_o planter_n be_v in_o proportion_n to_o the_o quantity_n of_o land_n wherefore_o if_o the_o people_n be_v not_o in_o the_o same_o proportion_n as_o the_o land_n the_o same_o must_v be_v attribute_v to_o the_o situation_n of_o the_o land_n and_o to_o the_o trade_n and_o policy_n of_o the_o people_n superstruct_v thereupon_o the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v show_v be_v that_o holland_n

think_v will_v appear_v upon_o the_o balance_n of_o the_o follow_a particular_n viz._n as_o to_o the_o wealth_n of_o france_n a_o certain_a value_n map_n of_o that_o kingdom_n set_v forth_o anno_fw-la

why_o the_o hollander_n can_v go_v at_o less_o freight_n than_o their_o neighbour_n viz._n because_o they_o can_v afford_v a_o particular_a sort_n of_o vessel_n for_o each_o particular_a trade_n i_o

to_o show_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o policy_n superstruct_v upon_o these_o natural_a advantage_n and_o not_o as_o some_o think_v upon_o the_o excess_n of_o their_o understanding_n i_o have_v omit_v to_o mention_v the_o hollander_n be_v one_o hundred_o year_n since_o a_o poor_a and_o oppress_a people_n live_v in_o a_o country_n natural_o cold_a and_o unpleasant_a and_o be_v withal_o persecute_v for_o their_o heterodoxy_n in_o religion_n from_o hence_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o this_o people_n must_v labour_v hard_a and_o set_v all_o hand_n to_o work_n rich_a and_o poor_a young_a and_o old_a must_v study_v the_o art_n of_o number_n weight_n and_o measure_n must_v fare_v hard_a provide_v for_o impotents_a and_o for_o orphan_n out_o of_o hope_n to_o make_v profit_n by_o their_o labour_n must_v punish_v the_o lazy_a by_o labour_n and_o not_o by_o cripling_n they_o i_o say_v all_o these_o particular_n say_v to_o be_v the_o subtle_a excogitation_n of_o the_o hollander_n seem_v to_o i_o but_o what_o can_v not_o almost_o have_v be_v otherwise_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n registry_n of_o conveyance_n small_a custom_n bank_n lumbards_n and_o law_n merchant_n rise_v all_o from_o the_o same_o spring_n and_o tend_v to_o the_o same_o sea_n as_o for_o lowness_n of_o interest_n it_o be_v also_o a_o necessary_a effect_n of_o all_o the_o premise_n and_o not_o the_o fruit_n of_o their_o contrivance_n wherefore_o we_o shall_v only_o show_v in_o particular_a the_o efficacy_n of_o each_o and_o first_o of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n but_o before_o i_o enter_v upon_o these_o i_o shall_v mention_v a_o practice_n almost_o forget_v whether_o it_o refer_v to_o trade_n or_o policy_n be_v not_o material_a which_o be_v the_o hollander_n underma_v ship_n and_o sail_v such_o of_o their_o ship_n as_o carry_v cheap_a and_o gross_a good_n and_o who_o sale_n do_v not_o depend_v much_o upon_o season_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o of_o two_o equal_a and_o like_a vessel_n if_o one_o spread_v one_o thousand_o six_o hundred_o yard_n of_o like_a canvas_n and_o the_o other_o two_o thousand_o five_o hundred_o their_o speed_n be_v but_o as_o four_o to_o five_o so_o as_o one_o bring_v home_n the_o same_o timber_n in_o four_o day_n as_o the_o other_o will_v in_o five_o now_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o although_o those_o ship_n be_v but_o four_o or_o five_o day_n under_o sail_n that_o they_o be_v perhaps_o thirty_o upon_o the_o voyage_n so_o as_o the_o one_o be_v but_o 1_o 30_o part_n long_o upon_o the_o whole_a voyage_n than_o the_o other_o though_o one_o five_o long_o under_o sail._n now_o if_o mast_n yard_n rigging_n cables_n and_o anchor_n do_v all_o depend_v upon_o the_o quantity_n and_o extent_n of_o the_o sail_n and_o consequent_o hand_n also_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o one_o vessel_n go_v at_o one_o three_o less_o charge_n lose_v but_o one_o thirty_o of_o the_o time_n and_o of_o what_o depend_v thereupon_o i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o first_o policy_n of_o the_o dutch_a viz._n liberty_n of_o conscience_n holland_n which_o i_o conceive_v they_o grant_v upon_o these_o ground_n but_o keep_v up_o always_o a_o force_n to_o maintain_v the_o common_a peace_n 1._o they_o themselves_o break_v with_o spain_n to_o avoid_v the_o imposition_n of_o the_o clergy_n 2._o dissenter_n of_o this_o kind_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n think_v
