objector's own showing, but the quadruple of Paris, or 1,932,000
souls, Paris containing but 488,000, as afore hath been proved, and
we do here affirm that England hath 7,000,000 people, and that
Scotland, Ireland, with the Islands of Man, Jersey, and Guernsey,
hath two-fifths of the said number, or 2,800,000 more, in all
9,800,000; whereas by the objector's doctrine, if the seven
provinces have 1,932,000 people, the King of England's territories
should have but seven-tenths of the same number, viz., 1,351,000,
whereas we say 9,800,000, as aforesaid, which difference is so gross
as that it deserves to be thus reflected upon.

To conclude, we expect from the concerned critics of the world that
they would prove -

1. That Holland, and West Frisia, and the twenty-eight towns and
cities thereof, hath more people than London alone.

2. That any three of the best cities of France, any two of all
Christendom, or any one of the world, hath the same, or better
housing, and more foreign trade than London, even in the year that
King James the Second came to the empire thereof.
