where_o city_n be_v great_a and_o most_o frequent_v by_o voluntary_a inhabitant_n be_v always_o the_o best_a to_o live_v in_o and_o by_o compare_v the_o city_n of_o london_n with_o all_o other_o city_n of_o europe_n and_o demonstrate_v by_o the_o survey_v i_o have_v make_v which_o i_o think_v will_v hardly_o be_v contradict_v or_o confute_v that_o of_o all_o the_o capital_a city_n of_o europe_n it_o be_v the_o big_a and_o most_o populous_a and_o so_o prove_v consequential_o that_o england_n for_o the_o generality_n of_o people_n be_v the_o best_a country_n in_o the_o world_n especial_o for_o its_o native_n to_o live_v in_o now_o this_o be_v a_o observation_n for_o what_o i_o know_v not_o hitherto_o make_v good_a by_o induction_n and_o instance_n as_o i_o intend_v to_o do_v it_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v please_v the_o reader_n as_o much_o as_o if_o i_o give_v he_o a_o particular_a account_n of_o other_o country_n and_o government_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o own_o reflection_n to_o state_n the_o comparison_n though_o london_n within_o the_o wall_n can_v vie_v for_o bigness_n with_o many_o city_n of_o europe_n yet_o take_v the_o city_n and_o suburb_n together_o according_a as_o it_o have_v be_v survey_v by_o mr._n morgan_n in_o breadth_n from_o st._n george_n church_n in_o southwark_n to_o shoreditch_n and_o in_o length_n from_o limehouse_n to_o petty-france_n in_o westminster_n and_o it_o be_v in_o a_o vast_a proportion_n large_a in_o compass_n of_o ground_n and_o number_n of_o house_n than_o any_o city_n in_o europe_n whatsoever_o this_o i_o shall_v demonstrate_v first_o by_o compare_v it_o with_o some_o city_n of_o holland_n and_o then_o with_o the_o most_o considerable_a city_n of_o the_o other_o country_n of_o europe_n which_o i_o shall_v set_v down_o in_o a_o alphabetical_a order_n with_o the_o number_n of_o the_o house_n they_o several_o contain_v when_o london_n and_o suburb_n be_v survey_v some_o year_n ago_o by_o mr._n morgan_n there_o be_v reckon_v to_o be_v in_o it_o 84000_o house_n beside_o hospital_n almshouse_n and_o other_o building_n that_o pay_v no_o chimney-money_n to_o the_o king_n now_o if_o those_o be_v

it_o be_v believe_v 120000_o which_o true_o consider_v the_o extraordinary_a addition_n that_o have_v be_v make_v late_o be_v not_o improbable_a i_o know_v the_o french_a vapour_n and_o will_v persuade_v the_o world_n that_o paris_n be_v much_o big_a than_o london_n and_o the_o hollander_n will_v scarce_o believe_v that_o london_n have_v more_o house_n than_o the_o 18_o city_n in_o holland_n that_o have_v voice_n in_o the_o state_n for_o say_v they_o amsterdam_n stand_v upon_o 1000_o morgan_n of_o land_n and_o london_n stand_v but_o upon_o 1800._o to_o both_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o paris_n take_v up_o a_o great_a spot_n of_o ground_n but_o than_o you_o must_v consider_v that_o in_o paris_n there_o be_v several_a hundred_o of_o monastery_n church_n college_n and_o cloister_n some_o of_o they_o have_v large_a garden_n and_o that_o in_o paris_n there_o be_v 7500_o palace_n and_o port_n for_o coach_n which_o have_v likewise_o great_a garden_n whereas_o london_n be_v very_o thick_o build_v and_o in_o the_o city_n the_o house_n have_v scarce_o a_o yard_n big_a enough_o to_o set_v a_o pump_n or_o house_n of_o conveniency_n in_o but_o the_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n will_v decide_v this_o question_n and_o plain_o give_v it_o to_o london_n and_o so_o do_v mounseur_fw-fr la_fw-fr cour_fw-fr and_o sir_n william_n petty_a in_o his_o last_o essay_n dedicate_v to_o the_o king_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o london_n be_v big_a than_o paris_n rouen_n and_o rochel_n altogether_o and_o as_o for_o amsterdam_n i_o do_v appeal_n to_o all_o know_a man_n that_o have_v see_v it_o that_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o it_o stand_v upon_o 1000_o morgan_n of_o land_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o above_o 400_o morgan_n build_v and_o this_o i_o prove_v thus_o that_o the_o large_a garden_n on_o the_o heeregraft_n kysersgraft_n and_o princegraft_n and_o the_o burghwall_n of_o amsterdam_n take_v up_o more_o than_o a_o
