such_o trade_n whereby_o the_o mean_a of_o they_o gain_v 6_o time_n as_o much_o and_o withal_o by_o this_o entertain_n of_o stranger_n for_o soldier_n their_o country_n become_v more_o and_o more_o people_v forasmuch_o as_o the_o child_n of_o such_o stranger_n be_v hollander_n and_o take_v to_o trade_n whilst_o new_a stranger_n be_v admit_v in_o finitum_fw-la beside_o these_o soldier_n at_o convenient_a interval_n do_v at_o least_o as_o much_o work_n as_o be_v equivalent_a to_o what_o they_o spend_v and_o consequent_o by_o this_o way_n of_o employ_v of_o stranger_n for_o soldier_n they_o people_n the_o country_n and_o save_v their_o own_o person_n from_o danger_n and_o misery_n without_o any_o real_a expense_n effect_v by_o this_o method_n what_o other_o have_v in_o vain_a attemp_v by_o law_n for_o naturalise_v of_o stranger_n as_o if_o man_n can_v be_v charm_v to_o transport_v themselves_o from_o their_o own_o native_a into_o a_o foreign_a country_n mere_o by_o word_n and_o for_o the_o bare_a leave_n of_o be_v call_v by_o a_o new_a name_n in_o ireland_n law_n for_o naturalisation_n have_v have_v little_a effect_n to_o bring_v in_o alien_n and_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o englishman_n will_v not_o go_v thither_o without_o they_o may_v have_v the_o pay_n of_o soldier_n or_o some_o other_o advantage_n amount_v to_o maintenance_n have_v intimate_v the_o way_n by_o which_o the_o hollander_n do_v increase_v their_o people_n i_o shall_v here_o digress_v to_o set_v down_o the_o way_n of_o compute_v the_o value_n of_o every_o head_n one_o with_o another_o and_o that_o the_o instance_n of_o people_n in_o england_n viz._n suppose_v the_o people_n of_o england_n be_v six_o million_o in_o number_n that_o their_o expense_n at_o 7_o pound_n per_fw-la head_n be_v forty_o two_o million_o suppose_v also_o that_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n be_v eight_o million_o and_o the_o profit_n of_o all_o the_o personal_a estate_n be_v six_o million_o more_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o the_o labour_n of_o the_o people_n have_v supply_v the_o remain_v thirty_o six_o million_o the_o which_o multiply_v by_o twenty_o the_o mass_n of_o mankind_n be_v worth_a twenty_o year_n purchase_n as_o well_o as_o land_n make_v five_o hundred_o and_o twenty_o million_o as_o the_o value_n of_o the_o whole_a people_n which_o number_n divide_v by_o six_o million_o make_v above_o eight_o pound_n sterling_a to_o be_v the_o value_n of_o each_o head_n man_n woman_n and_o child_n and_o of_o a_o dull_a person_n twice_o as_o much_o from_o whence_o we_o may_v learn_v to_o compute_v the_o loss_n we_o have_v sustain_v by_o the_o plague_n by_o the_o slaughter_n of_o man_n in_o war_n and_o by_o send_v they_o abroad_o unto_o the_o service_n of_o foreign_a prince_n the_o other_o trade_n the_o hollander_n have_v ride_v their_o hand_n of_o be_v the_o old_a patriarchal_a trade_n of_o be_v cowkeeper_n and_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o which_o concern_v plough_v and_o sow_v of_o corn_n have_v put_v that_o employment_n upon_o the_o dane_n and_o polander_n from_o whence_o they_o have_v their_o young_a cattle_n and_o corn._n here_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n that_o as_o trade_n and_o curious_a art_n increase_v so_o the_o trade_n of_o husbandry_n will_v decrease_v unless_o the_o wage_n of_o husbandman_n must_v rise_v and_o consequent_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n must_v fall_v for_o proof_n whereof_o i_o dare_v affirm_v that_o if_o 〈…〉_z landman_n of_o england_n who_o now_o 〈…〉_z penny_n a_o day_n or_o thereabouts_o can_v become_v tradesman_n and_o earn_v sixteen_o penny_n a_o day_n which_o be_v no_o great_a wage_n two_o shilling_n and_o two_o shilling_n and_o six_o penny_n be_v usual_o give_v that_o then_o it_o will_v be_v the_o advantage_n of_o england_n to_o throw_v up_o their_o husbandry_n and_o make_v no_o use_n of_o their_o land_n but_o for_o grass_n horse_n milch-cow_n garden_n and_o orchard_n etc._n etc._n which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o and_o that_o trade_n and_o manufacture_n have_v increase_v in_o england_n viz._n if_o a_o quarter_n part_n of_o the_o people_n apply_v themselves_o to_o these_o faculty_n more_o than_o they_o do_v heretofore_o and_o if_o the_o price_n of_o corn_n be_v no_o great_a now_o than_o when_o husbandman_n be_v more_o numerous_a and_o tradesman_n few_o it_o follow_v from_o the_o single_a reason_n though_o other_o may_v be_v add_v that_o if_o the_o rent_n of_o land_n must_v fall_v as_o for_o example_n suppose_v the_o price_n of_o wheat_n be_v fifty_o or_o sixty_o penny_n the_o bushel_n now_o if_o the_o rent_n of_o the_o land_n whereon_o it_o grow_v be_v the_o three_o sheaf_n then_o of_o the_o sixty_o penny_n twenty_o penny_n be_v for_o the_o land_n and_o forty_o penny_n for_o the_o husbandman_n but_o if_o the_o husbandman_n wage_n shall_v rise_v ⅛_n part_n or_o from_o eight_o to_o nine_o penny_n per_fw-la diem_fw-la then_o the_o husbandman_n share_n in_o the_o bushel_n of_o wheat_n raise_v from_o forty_o to_o forty_o five_o penny_n and_o consequent_o the_o rent_n of_o the_o land_n must_v fall_v from_o twenty_o to_o fifteen_o penny_n for_o we_o suppose_v the_o price_n of_o the_o wheat_n still_o remain_v especial_o since_o we_o can_v raise_v it_o for_o if_o we_o do_v attempt_v it_o corn_n will_v be_v bring_v unto_o we_o as_o unto_o holland_n
