3. Now the burials of Paris (being 19,887) being added to the
burials of Dublin (supposed more than at Rouen) being 2,263, makes
but 22,150, whereas the burials of London were 187 more, or 22,337,
or as about 6 to 7.

4. If those who die unnecessarily, and by miscarriage in L'Hotel
Dieu in Paris (being above 3,000), as hath been elsewhere shown, or
any part thereof, should be subtracted out of the Paris burials
aforementioned, then our assertion will be stronger, and more
proportionable to what follows concerning the housing of those
cities, viz.:

5. There were burnt at London, A.D. 1666, above 13,000 houses,
which being but a fifth part of the whole, the whole number of
houses in the said year were above 65,000; and whereas the ordinary
burials of London have increased between the years 1666 and 1686,
above one-third the total of the houses at London, A.D. 1686, must
be about 87,000, which A.D. 1682, appeared by account to have been
84,000.

6. Monsieur Moreri, the great French author of the late
geographical dictionaries, who makes Paris the greatest city in the
world, doth reckon but 50,000 houses in the same, and other authors
and knowing men much less; nor are there full 7,000 houses in the
city of Dublin, so as if the 50,000 houses of Paris, and the 7,000
houses in the city of Dublin were added together, the total is but
57,000 houses, whereas those of London are 87,000 as aforesaid, or
as 6 to 9.
