only_o 5._o we_o come_v to_o show_v why_o although_o in_o the_o country_n the_o christen_n exceed_v the_o burial_n yet_o in_o london_n they_o do_v not_o the_o general_a reason_n of_o this_o must_v be_v that_o in_o london_n the_o proportion_n of_o those_o subject_n to_o die_v unto_o those_o capable_a of_o breed_n be_v great_a than_o in_o the_o country_n that_o be_v let_v there_o be_v a_o

country_n or_o else_o we_o must_v say_v that_o london_n be_v more_o unhealthful_a or_o that_o it_o incline_v man_n and_o woman_n more_o to_o barrenness_n than_o the_o country_n which_o by_o compare_v the_o burial_n and_o christen_n of_o hackney_n newington_n and_o the_o other_o country-parish_n with_o the_o most_o smoky_a and_o stink_v part_n of_o the_o city_n be_v scarce_o discernible_a in_o any_o considerable_a degree_n 6._o now_o that_o the_o breeder_n in_o london_n be_v proportional_o few_o than_o those_o in_o the_o country_n arise_v from_o these_o reason_n viz._n 1._o all_o that_o have_v business_n to_o the_o court_n of_o the_o king_n or_o to_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n and_o all_o countryman_n come_v up_o to_o bring_v provision_n to_o the_o city_n or_o to_o buy_v foreign_a

many_o seaman_n of_o london_n leave_v their_o wife_n behind_o they_o who_o be_v more_o subject_a to_o die_v in_o the_o absence_n of_o their_o husband_n then_o to_o breed_v either_o without_o man_n or_o with_o the_o use_n of_o many_o promiscuous_o 6._o as_o for_o unhealthiness_n it_o may_v well_o be_v suppose_v that_o although_o season_a body_n may_v and_o do_v live_v near_o as_o long_o in_o london_n as_o elsewhere_o yet_o newcomer_n and_o child_n do_v not_o for_o the_o smoke_n stink_v and_o close_a air_n be_v less_o healthful_a than_o that_o of_o the_o country_n otherwise_o why_o do_v

hackney_n and_o newington_n abovementioned_a be_v not_o very_o notorious_a yet_o the_o reason_n may_v be_v their_o vicinity_n to_o london_n and_o that_o the_o inhabitant_n be_v most_o such_o who_o

shall_v be_v none_o extraordinary_a in_o the_o native_a air_n of_o the_o place_n yet_o the_o intemperance_n in_o feed_v and_o especial_o the_o adultery_n and_o fornication_n suppose_v more_o

corporal_a labour_n and_o exercize_n all_o which_o promote_v breed_n whereas_o anxiety_n of_o the_o mind_n hinder_v it_o chhp._n viii_o of_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o number_n of_o male_n and_o female_n the_o next_o observation_n be_v that_o there_o be_v more_o male_n then_o female_n there_o have_v be_v bury_v from_o the_o year_n 1628._o to_o the_o year_n 1662._o exclusiuè_fw-la

country_n 3._o we_o shall_v have_v give_v a_o account_n how_o in_o every_o age_n these_o proportion_n change_v here_o but_o that_o we_o have_v bill_n of_o distinction_n but_o for_o 32_o year_n so_o that_o we_o shall_v pass_v from_o hence_o to_o some_o inference_n from_o this_o conclusion_n as_o first_o i._o that_o christian_a religion_n prohibit_v polygamy_n be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v the_o law_n of_o god_n than_o mahumetism_n and_o other_o that_o allow_v it_o for_o one_o man_n his_o have_v many_o woman_n or_o wife_n by_o law_n signify_v nothing_o unless_o there_o be_v many_o woman_n to_o one_o man_n in_o nature_n also_o ii_o the_o obvious_a objection_n hereunto_o be_v that_o one_o horse_n bull_n or_o ram_n have_v each_o of_o they_o many_o
