(a.) In the Hospital of St. Bartholomew in London, there was sent
out and cured in the year 1685, 1,764 persons, and there died out of
the said hospital 252. Moreover, there were sent out and cured out
of St. Thomas's Hospital 1,523, and buried, 209--that is to say,
there were cured in both hospitals 3,287, and buried out of both
hospitals 461, and consequently cured and buried 3,748, of which
number the 461 buried is less than an eighth part; whereas at La
Charite the part that died was more than an eighth part; which shows
that out of the most poor and wretched hospitals of London there
died fewer in proportion than out of the best in Paris.

(b.) Furthermore, it hath been above shown that there died out of La
Charite at a medium 395 per annum, and 141 out of Les Incurables,
making in all 536; and that out of St. Bartholomew's and St.
Thomas's Hospitals, London, there died at a medium but 461, of which
Les Incurables are part; which shows that although there be more
people in London than in Paris, yet there went at London not so many
people to hospitals as there did at Paris, although the poorest
hospitals at London were better than the best at Paris; which shows
that the poorest people at London have better accommodation in their
own houses than the best hospital of Paris affordeth.

6. Having proved that there die about 3,506 persons at Paris
unnecessarily, to the damage of France, we come next to compute the
value of the said damage, and of the remedy thereof, as follows,
viz., the value of the said 3,506 at 60 livres sterling per head,
being about the value of Argier slaves (which is less than the
intrinsic value of people at Paris), the whole loss of the subjects
of France in that hospital seems to be 60 times 3,506 livres
sterling per annum, viz., 210,360 livres sterling, equivalent to
