A60932 The desolation of France demonstrated, or, Evident proofs that one half of the people of that kin[g]dom are destroyed two thirds of its captial stock consumed, and the nation reduc'd to such a condition that it cannot be restored to the flourishing state it was in thirty years ago, in less than two hundred years, and not then neither, except the whole frame of their government be new modell'd / by a person of duality, a native of France.

have_v but_o very_o little_a reason_n to_o admire_v the_o great_a wisdom_n or_o superfine_v politic_n of_o those_o great_a man_n the_o cardinal_n de_fw-fr richelien_n and_o mazarin_n louvois_n

the_o respect_n they_o have_v for_o religion_n do_v hinder_v they_o that_o be_v a_o mighty_a reflection_n upon_o their_o understanding_n for_o how_o can_v they_o ascribe_v to_o the_o christian_a

that_o do_v deter_v they_o from_o it_o for_o the_o thing_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v do_v especial_o under_o a_o prince_n of_o so_o much_o authority_n as_o lewis_n the_o fourteen_o and_o all_o the_o

a_o due_a elevation_n of_o mind_n and_o zeal_n for_o the_o public_a good_a nothing_o be_v dear_a to_o they_o but_o their_o own_o interest_n and_o how_o they_o may_v satisfy_v their_o ambition_n and_o

to_o endea_n your_o to_o reduce_v those_o who_o shake_v it_o off_o under_o the_o same_o again_o to_o deprive_v they_o of_o those_o great_a advantage_n they_o enjoy_v above_o themselves_o and_o

france_n of_o above_o 200_o million_o of_o liver_n one_o year_n with_o another_o for_o a_o long_a time_n certain_o any_o man_n will_v be_v convince_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n and_o transubstantiation_n and_o some_o other_o of_o the_o same_o sort_n make_v but_o a_o small_a compensation_n to_o france_n for_o the_o great_a loss_n she_o endure_v by_o they_o and_o that_o if_o so_o be_v there_o have_v be_v any_o true_a solidity_n of_o judgement_n or_o any_o spark_n of_o generosity_n in_o those_o great_a politician_n before_o name_v they_o will_v have_v avoid_v such_o a_o ruin_n by_o content_v themselves_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o authority_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o word_n without_o charge_v themselves_o with_o such_o ruinous_a and_o monstrous_a opinion_n one_o will_v think_v that_o man_n who_o have_v so_o little_a regard_n to_o reason_n draw_v from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n against_o popery_n aught_o to_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o affect_v with_o those_o which_o temporal_a interest_n afford_v so_o that_o for_o the_o reason_n above_o mention_v and_o other_o that_o may_v be_v name_v i_o think_v the_o abolish_n of_o popery_n in_o england_n be_v worth_a to_o this_o kingdom_n at_o least_o 8_o million_o sterling_a yearly_o which_o it_o spare_v by_o it_o one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o proportionable_o to_o scotland_n but_o much_o less_o to_o ireland_n because_o popery_n reign_v still_o there_o too_o much_o with_o most_o of_o the_o disorder_n which_o i_o note_v before_o here_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o observe_v that_o i_o do_v not_o reckon_v among_o the_o 200_o million_o of_o liver_n which_o france_n lose_v every_o year_n one_o with_o another_o by_o popery_n the_o ordinary_a annual_a revenue_n which_o the_o clergy_n get_v either_o from_o the_o real_a and_o personal-estate_n or_o by_o their_o cheat_n and_o trick_n for_o all_o that_o they_o get_v by_o those_o thing_n be_v not_o lose_v to_o the_o kingdom_n see_v they_o must_v live_v i_o understand_v only_o the_o damage_n that_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o principle_n of_o popery_n and_o their_o necessary_a consequence_n nor_o do_v i_o mean_v that_o france_n lose_v at_o present_a so_o much_o yearly_o as_o 200_o million_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la by_o popery_n at_o present_a because_o of_o the_o kingdom_n decay_v in_o its_o revenue_n but_o it_o may_v be_v affirm_v with_o reason_n that_o for_o a_o very_a long_a time_n till_o the_o day_n wherein_o we_o live_v it_o lose_v above_o 200_o million_o or_o the_o equivalent_a every_o year_n one_o with_o another_o this_o must_v be_v understand_v since_o silver_n and_o gold_n become_v more_o common_a in_o france_n for_o 200_o hundred_o year_n ago_o all_o the_o revenue_n of_o france_n be_v not_o worth_a 100_o million_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o demonstrate_v that_o if_o popery_n be_v abolish_v in_o france_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v in_o this_o reign_n and_o though_o the_o government_n be_v as_o at_o present_a in_o respect_n of_o tax_n yet_o the_o king_n of_o france_n may_v easy_o get_v a_o hundred_o million_o of_o liver_n more_o from_o the_o kingdom_n than_o lewis_n the_o fourteen_o do_v without_o the_o people_n be_v tax_v any_o more_o than_o at_o present_a 19_o france_n be_v not_o so_o convenient_o situate_v for_o trade_n as_o england_n which_o be_v encompass_v almost_o round_o by_o the_o sea_n and_o have_v four_o time_n as_o many_o good_a port_n as_o france_n and_o no_o body_n can_v deny_v that_o this_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n for_o to_o make_v a_o nation_n both_o populous_a and_o rich_a 20._o france_n have_v no_o such_o mine_n as_o england_n have_v of_o tin_n copper_n and_o lead_v which_o do_v enrich_v the_o land_n and_o furnish_v subsistence_n to_o a_o incredible_a number_n of_o people_n as_o well_o as_o the_o coal-pit_n we_o have_v of_o which_o none_o almost_o in_o france_n 21._o the_o copse-wood_n do_v take_v up_o great_a part_n of_o the_o ground_n in_o france_n whereas_o the_o english_a coal-pit_n take_v up_o very_o little_a ground_n whence_o there_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o ground_n for_o tillage_n and_o husbandry_n which_o serve_v to_o maintain_v a_o great_a quantity_n of_o people_n 22._o the_o vine_n of_o which_o the_o expense_n be_v so_o great_a and_o their_o revenue_n so_o uncertain_a since_o they_o fail_v common_o more_o than_o once_o in_o three_o year_n take_v up_o also_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o ground_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o france_n whereas_o the_o corn_n or_o ordinary_a malt_n wherewith_o we_o make_v our_o drink_n in_o england_n fail_v more_o seldom_o and_o cost_n much_o less_o either_o for_o cultivate_v of_o it_o or_o get_v it_o from_o other_o place_n so_o that_o it_o be_v rare_a that_o the_o price_n of_o beer_n increase_v 23._o it_o be_v observe_v also_o that_o corn_n land_n in_o france_n fail_v often_o than_o in_o england_n which_o observation_n if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o i_o believe_v it_o be_v must_v proceed_v either_o from_o a_o great_a fruitfulness_n of_o the_o soil_n in_o england_n or_o from_o a_o more_o equal_a temperature_n of_o the_o air_n or_o from_o this_o reason_n that_o the_o english_a be_v better_o provide_v with_o good_a cattle_n and_o man_n and_o all_o other_o necessary_n for_o husbandry_n or_o from_o all_o those_o reason_n together_o which_o i_o think_v to_o be_v very_o true_a and_o be_v most_o certain_a we_o have_v show_v already_o that_o the_o land_n be_v more_o populous_a and_o the_o cattle_n be_v more_o numerous_a also_o and_o better_o feed_v than_o in_o france_n because_o there_o be_v general_o more_o hay_n and_o better_a pasture_n in_o england_n and_o by_o consequence_n their_o cattle_n as_o well_o as_o man_n who_o be_v better_o feed_v can_v work_v better_o beside_o their_o cattle_n make_v more_o dung_n and_o better_a than_o that_o of_o france_n for_o the_o dung_n of_o good_a and_o lusty_a cattle_n be_v better_a than_o that_o of_o weak_o and_o lean_a cattle_n and_o hay-dung_n be_v better_a than_o straw-dung_n it_o be_v know_v there_o be_v almost_o no_o hay_n in_o several_a province_n of_o france_n so_o that_o the_o horse_n wherewith_o they_o plough_v and_o till_o the_o ground_n
be_v not_o able_a to_o furnish_v they_o with_o victual_n nor_o to_o improve_v their_o money_n they_o betake_v themselves_o to_o the_o french_a trade_n and_o by_o degree_n become_v the_o general_a carrier_n of_o france_n which_o oblige_v the_o french_a to_o till_o their_o ground_n better_o than_o they_o have_v do_v before_o and_o find_v the_o sweetness_n of_o foreign_a money_n they_o be_v by_o degree_n bring_v also_o to_o cultivate_v all_o sort_n of_o manufacture_n which_o the_o dutch_a do_v carry_v likewise_o over_o all_o the_o world_n till_o at_o last_o the_o french_a take_v advantage_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o neighbour_a prince_n they_o impose_v law_n upon_o their_o subject_n before_o that_o great_a revolution_n france_n and_o her_o king_n be_v very_o poor_a and_o the_o english_a much_o too_o strong_a for_o they_o and_o have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o advantage_n of_o they_o in_o all_o the_o war_n so_o that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o the_o
