 As the whole Defign of this Trea-

 THE 
 
T II E 
 
 Authors Preface. 
 
 S IR Francis Bacon, in his Advance¬ 
 ment of Learning, hath made a judi¬ 
 cious Parallel in many particulars , between 
 the Body Natural and Body Politick, and 
 between the Arts of preferving both in Health 
 and Strength : And it is as reafonable , that 
 as Anatomy is the beft foundation of one 9 
 fo alfo of the other j and that to practice 
 upon the Politick , without knowing the Sym¬ 
 metry, Fabrick, and Proportion of it 0 is as 
 cafual as the pratlice * of Old-women and 
 Empy ricks. 
 
 Now, becanfe Anatomy is not only necef- 
 fary in Phyficians , but laudable in every 
 Philofophical perfon whatfoever } I have 
 therefore , for my curiofty , attempted the 
 fir ft EiTay of Political Anatomy. 
 
 Furthermore , as Students in Medicine 
 pra&ice their inquiries upon cheap and com¬ 
 mon Animals, and ftchwhofe aBions they are 
 fiefl acquainted with, and where there is tbe

The Author’s Preface. 
 
 leaf confufion and perplexure of parts * / 
 have chofen Ireland as fuch a Political Ani¬ 
 mal., who is fcarce Twenty years old } where 
 the Intrigue of State is not very complicate , 
 and with which 1 have been conversant from 
 an Embrion \ and in which , if 1 have done 
 amifs , the fault may be eafily mended by 
 another . 
 
 *Tis' true, that curious Directions cannot 
 be made without variety of proper Inftru- 
 ments j whereas I have had only a common 
 Knife and a Clout, infiead of the many more 
 helps which fuch a Work requires; However 9 
 my rude approaches being e?iough to find 
 whereabout the Liver and Spleen , and Lungs 
 lye , tho ’ not to difcern the Lymphatick Vef- 
 fels • the Plexus, Choroidus, the Volvuli of 
 Vefj'els within the finer parts yet not know - 
 ing^ that even what I have here readily done y 
 was much corfidered , or indeed thought ufe- 
 ful by others, 1 have ventur'd to begin a 
 ne r .v Work , which , when correBed and enlar¬ 
 ged by better Hands and Helps, / believe 
 will tend to the peace and plenty of my Coun¬ 
 try ^ befides which I have no other End,

 Concerning the late Rebellion . 
 
 T H E number of the People is now 
 A?ino 1672, about 1100,000, and 
 was Anno 1652 about 850,000, becaufe I 
 C conceive 
 
 17 
 
IS The Tolitical Anatomy 
 
 conceive that 80,000 of them have in 20 
 years encreafed by Generation, 70,000. by 
 return of banifh’d and expell’d Englijh *, 
 as alfo by the accefs of new ones, 80,000 
 of new Scots , and 20,000 of return’d 
 Irijh , being in all 250,000. 
 
 Now if it could be known what number 
 of People were in Ireland Anno 1641, then 
 the difference between the faid number, 
 and 850,000, adding unto it the encreafe 
 by Generation in n years, will fhew the 
 deftruffion Of People made by the Wars, 
 viz. by the Sword, Plague, and Famine 
 occafioned thereby. 
 
 I find, by comparing fuperfiuous and 
 fpare Oxen, Sheep, Butter and Beef, that 
 there was exported above one third more 
 Amid 1664, than in 1641, which Ihews 
 there were one third more of People, viz. 
 1,466,000 • out of which Sum take what 
 Were left Anno 1652, it appears that there 
 were 616,000 deftroyed by the Rebellion. 
 
 Whereas the prefent proportion of the 
 Britifi is as 3 to 11but before the Wars 
 the proportion was lefs, viz. as 2 to 11j 
 and then it follows that the number of 
 Britifi flain in 11 years was 112,000 Souls- 
 of which I guefs two thirds to have pe- 
 rifhed by War, Plague and famine. So as 
 It follows that 37,000 were maffacred in 
 
 
of IRELAN D. 
 
 the firft: year of Tumults: So as thofe 
 who think 154,000 were fo deftroyed, 
 ought to review the grounds of their 
 Opinion. 
 
 It follows alfo, that about 504,000 of 
 the Irijh perifhed, and were wafted by 
 the Sword, Plague, Famine, Hardfhip and 
 Banifhment, between the 23d of 0 Bober 
 1641, and the fame day 1652. 
 
 Wherefore thofe who fay,that not one 8th 
 of them remained at the end of the Wars, 
 muff alfo review their opinions- there be¬ 
 ing by this Computation near 2 ^ds of 
 them j which opinion I alfo fubmit. 
 
 There were tranfported ofj 
 them into Spain^Flanders^France ^ 
 
 34,000 Soldiers; and of Boys, \ 
 
 Women, Priefls, &c. no lefs 
 than 6000 more, whereof not 
 half are returned. 
 
 If Ireland had continued in' 
 peace for the faid r 1 years, then 
 the 1,466,000 had increafed by 
 Generation iii that time to 73,000 
 more, making in all 1,539,000, 
 which were by the faid Wars 
 brought ^7.1652, to 850,000, fo 
 that were loft 689,000 Souls, for 
 whofe Blood fome body fhould 
 aiifwer both to God and the King.-

 Anno 1650, there were before the great 
 Plague, above one Million of People, viz, 
 2 and a half more than in London Anno 
 1665. But in that year there died in 
 Londoti by account 97,000 People, but 
 really were 110,000. 
 
 Wherefore if the Plague was' 
 no hotter in Ireland than in 
 England , there muft have died 
 in Ireland 275,000. But 1300 . 
 dying in a Week in Dublin , the '450,000 
 Plague of London was but two 
 thirds as hot 0 wherefore there 
 died in Ireland 
 
 So as fubftra&ing 412,000, 500 dying 
 of the Plague, and 37 maifacred Engltfe 
 it follows that 167,000 died in 11 years 
 by the Sword and Famine, and other 
 Hardfhips. Which I think not incredible} 
 for fuppofing half the number, viz . 
 87,000 died in 11 years of Famine and 
 and Cold, Tranfportation to Spain and 
 Barbadoes , &c. it is not hard to believe, 
 that the other 87,000 perifhed by the 
 Sword, when the Britijb had Armies of 
 near 40,000 Men, and the Irijh of near 
 double, fometimes on foot.

 T H E Englifi invaded Ireland about 
 500 years Gnce j at which time, if 
 the Irifi were in number about 1,200,000. 
 Anno 1641.they were but 600,000 in num¬

 extraordinary Effeds of epidemical Dif-

 There is at thisDay noMonument or real

 any Money, 4.ny Foreign Trade, nor any

 Geometry, Aftronomy, Anatomy, Archi. 
 teClure, Enginery, Painting, Carving, nor 
 any kind of Manufacture, nor the lead ufe 
 of Navigation^ or the Art Military. 
 
 Sir JohnDgvys hath exprelfed much Wit 
 and Learning, in giving the Caufes why 
 Ireland was in no meafure reduced to Eng¬ 
 lish Government, till in Queen Elizabeth's 
 Reign, and fincej and withal ofFers feveral 
 means, whereby what yet remains to be 
 done, may be Rill effected. 
 
 The Conqueft made by the Englijh , and 
 defcribed in the Preamble of the ACt of 
 Parliament paft Ann . 1662. for the Settle¬ 
 ment of Ireland , gave means for any thing 
 that had been reasonable of that kind *,but 
 their Forfeiters being abroad, and fuffering 
 with His Majefty from the fame ufurping 
 hands, made fome diverfion. 
 
 Wherefore ( Rebus fic flantibns') what is 
 now to be done is the Queftion, viz. 
 What may be done by natural poffibility, 
 if Authority faw it fit > 
 
 Some furious Spirits have willied, that 
 the Iriflo would rebel again, that they 
 might be put to the Sword. But I declare, 
 
 that 
 
(/IRELAND. 
 
 that motion to be not only impious and 
 inhumane, but withal frivolous and per¬ 
 nicious even to them who have ralhly 
 wilh’d for thofe occafions. 
 
 That the Irifh will not eafily rebel a- 
 gain, I believe from the memory of their 
 former Succelfes, efpecially of the laft, had 
 not many Providences interpos’d • and 
 withal from the conlideration of thefe fol¬ 
 lowing Particulars, viz. 
 
 i. That the Britifh Froteftants and 
 Chyrch have three Fourths of all theLands; 
 five Sixths of all the Houling ^ nine Tenths 
 of all the Houling in wall’d Towns and 
 Places of Strength, two Thirds of the Fo¬ 
 reign Trade. That 6 of 8 of all the Irifh 
 live in a brutilh, nafty Condition, as in 
 Cabins, with neither Chimney, Door, 
 Stairs, nor Window , feed chiefly upon 
 Milk and Potatoes, whereby their Spirits 
 are not difpos’d for War. And that al¬ 
 though there be in Ireland ?> Fapifts for 3 
 others ^ yet there are far more Soldiers, 
 and Soldier-like Men of this latter and 
 lefl'er Number, than of the former. 
 
 That his Majefty, who formerly could 
 do nothing for, and upon Ireland , but by 
 the help of England , hath now a Revenue 
 upon the Place, to maintain, ifhepleafes, 
 7000 Men in Arms, belides a Proteftant 
 
 Mi- 
 
2 8 The Political Anatomy 
 
 Militia of 25000 more, the mod whereof 
 are expert in War. 
 
 That the Frotefi tints have Houfing e- 
 nough within Places of ftrength within 
 5 Miles of the Sea-fide, to receive and pro- 
 led, and harbour every Man, Woman, and 
 Child belonging to them, and have alfo 
 places of drength of their own properly fo 
 dtuate in all parts of Ireland , to which they 
 can eafily travel the fhorted day of the 
 year. 
 
 That being able to fecure their Perfons, 
 even upon all fudden Emergencies, they 
 can be eafily fupplied out of England with 
 Food fufficient to maintain them, till they 
 have burnt 160,000 of their afore-defcri- 
 bed Cabins, not worth 50,000 /. dedroy’d 
 Stacks and Haggards of Corn, and didur^ 
 bed their Tillage, which the embody’d 
 Britijh can foon and eafily atchieve. 
 
 That a few Ships of War, whereof the 
 Irijh have none, nor no Skill or Practice of 
 Navigation, can hinder their relief from 
 all Foreign help. 
 
 That few Foreigners can help them if 
 they would. But that none, not the King 
 of France , can gain advantage by fo doing, 
 even tho’ he fucceeded. For England hath 
 condantly lod thefe 500 years by their 
 medling with Ireland . And at this day, 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 than when Ireland was never fo rich and 
 fplendid, it were the advantage of the En- 
 glijb to abandon their whole Jntereft in that 
 Country^ and fatal to any other Nation to 
 take it, as hath been elfewhere (as I think) 
 deinonftrated y and the advantage of the 
 Landlords of England , to give them the E- 
 quivaient of what they fhould fo quit out 
 their own Eftates in England. 
 
 Laftly , Let the Irijh know, that there 
 are, ever were, and will be men difconten- 
 ted with their prefent Conditions in Eng- 
 land , and ready for anyExploit andChange, 
 more than are fufficient to quell any Infur- 
 reCfion they can make and abide by. 
 
 Wherefore, declining all Military means 
 of fettling and fecuring Ireland in peace 
 and plenty, what we offer fhall tend to 
 the tranfmuting one People into the other, 
 and the thorough union of Interefts upon 
 natural and lafting Principles ^ of which I 
 lhall enumerate feveral, tho’ feemingly ne¬ 
 ver fo uncouth and extravagant. 
 
 i. If Henry the lid. had or could have 
 brought over all the People of Ireland in¬ 
 to England , declining the Benefit of their 
 Land} he had fortified, beautified, and 
 enrich’d England , and done real Kindnefs 
 to the Irifb. But the fame Work is near 
 
The Political Anatomy 
 four times as hard now to be done as then j 
 but it might be done, even now, with ad¬ 
 vantage to all Parties. 
 
 Whereas there are now 300,000 Britijh , 
 and 800,000 Papifls , whereof 600,000 live 
 in the wretched way above mentioned; If 
 anExchange was made of but about 200,000 
 Irtjh, and the like number of Britijhbrought 
 over in their rooms, then the natural 
 ftrength of the Britijh wx>uld be equal to 
 that of the Irifi $ but their Political and 
 Artificial ftrength three times as great} 
 and fo vifible, that the Irifh would never 
 ftir upon a National or Religious Account* 
 3. There are among the 600,000 above- 
 mentioned of the poor Irifi\ not above 
 20,000 of unmarried marriageble Women} 
 nor would above two thoufand per Ann , 
 grow and become fucb. Wherefore if one 
 half of the faid Women were in one year, 
 and the other half the next tranfported 
 into England, , and difpofed one to each 
 Parilh, and as many Englijh brought back 
 and married to the Irijh 7 as would im¬ 
 prove their Dwelling but to an Houfe 
 and Garden of 3 /. value, the whole Work 
 of natural Tranfmutation and Union 
 would in 4 or $ years be accomplilhed. 
 
 The Charge of making the Exchange 
 would not be 20,000 /. per Anri . which is 
 
 abouf 
 
of IRELAND. 31 
 
 about 6 Weeks Pay of the prefent or late 
 Armies in Ireland . 
 
 If the IriJJj mud have Priefts, let the 
 number of them, which is now between 
 2 and 3 thoufand Secular and Regulars, be 
 reduced to the competent number of 1000, 
 which is 800 Souls to the padorage of each 
 Priedj which fhould be known perfons,and 
 Engltjh-men , if it may be. So as that when 
 the Prieds, who govern the Confcience, 
 and the Women, who influence other pow¬ 
 erful Appetites, fhall be Englijh , both of 
 whom being ip the Boforn of the Men, it 
 mud be, that no maffacring of Englijh , as 
 heretofore, ean happen again. Moreover, 
 when the Language 6f the Children fhall 
 be Englijh, and the whole Oeconomy of the 
 Family Englijh, viz* Diet, x 4 pparel, &c. 
 the Tranfmutation will be very eafy and 
 quick. 
 
 Add hereunto. That if both Kingdoms 
 were under one Legiflative Power and 
 Parliament, the Members whereof fhould 
 be proportionable in Power and Wealth 
 of each Nation, there would be no danger 
 fuch a Parliament fhould do any thing to 
 the prejudice of tht EngliJIj Interedinire- 
 landj nor could the Irtjh ever complain of 
 partiality, when they fhall be - freely and 
 proportionably represented in all Legifla-

 the Vllth’s time j whom if an Englif-rnan

 for it • for it is but Indulgence and Con¬ 
 nivance, that now the fame is not Hill in

 tion of Irifimen • and that of Englijhmen is 
 now the fame, other wife than as Cuftom 
 has relieved them. 
 
 It is abfurd, that the Inhabitants of Ire*

 It is abfurd if the Legislative Power be in 
 Ireland , that the final judgment of Caufes 
 between man and man, Should be in England , 
 viz* the Writs of Error Should remove 
 Caufes out of Ireland ? to the Kings Bench 
 in England. That the final determination of 
 Admiralty-Caufes, and of fome Caufes Ec- 
 clefiaSlical, Should be alfo ended in Englandj 
 nor that men Should know whether the 
 Chancery of England have jurisdiction in Ire-* 
 land‘s and whether the Decrees of Chancery 
 in one Chancery can be executed in the 
 other. 
 
 As for Inconveniences, it is one. That we 
 Should do to Trade between the two King¬ 
 doms, as the Spaniards in the Wirjl-Indies do 
 to all other Nations j for which caufe all o- 
 ther Nations have war with them there. 
 
 And that a Ship trading from Ireland in¬ 
 to the ISlands of America , Should be forced 
 to unlade the Commodities Shipt from Ire¬ 
 land in England , and afterwards bring them 
 home ^ thereby necessitating the Owners of 
 fuch Goods to run unneceflary Hazard and 
 Expences.

 That his Majefty would by the Union

 when the Act for hindring Cattel coming

 ever Union between England and Wales, 
 the good effecls and fruits whereof were 
 never queftioned ? And why may not 
 the entire Kingdom of England be far¬ 
 ther cantoniz d, for the advantage of Par¬

 As for the Pradice- the Peers of Ireland 
 aftembled in Parliament, may depute fo ma¬

 by Writ into the Lords Houfe of England: 
 And the Commons in Ireland , aifembled in 
 like manner, may depute the like proportion 
 of other Members to fit with the Commons 
 of England , the King and that Houfe ad¬

 But if the Parliament of England be al¬

 may they not call a competent Number out

 Chap. VI. 
 
 Of the Government ^/Ireland. 
 
 T HE Government of Ireland is by the 
 King, 21 Bilhops (whereof four are 
 Arch-BifhopsJ and the temporal Peers y 
 
 whereof fome part,-by rea- 
 
 fon of the late Rebellion, do not fit in Par¬ 
 liament. 
 
 By about 3000 Freeholders, and the 
 Members of about 100 Corporations, the 
 Univerfity of Dublin reckoned for one, re- 
 prefented in the Houfe of Commons, by 
 about 270 Knights, Citizens, and Burgefies. 
 
 The Parliament fo conftituted, have a 
 Kygative upon any Law that the Lord 
 Lieutenant and Council fhall offer to the 
 King, and which the King and his Council 
 in England fhall under the great Seal re¬ 
 mit to the faid Parliament. 
 
 The Sheriffs of Counties, and of Cities 
 and Counties in Ireland are 40, finally ap¬ 
 pointed by the Lord Lieutenant, each of 
 which hath about Ten Bailiffs. 
 
 The 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 The chief Governour, called fometimes 
 Lord-Lieutenant, fometimes Lord-Deputy, 
 fometimes Lords Jultices, with a Council, 
 at this time confining of about 50 Mem¬ 
 bers, do govern in all Matters belonging to 
 •the Peace, Prerogative, &c. 
 
 There be hve Courts, viz. a Chancery , 
 confifting of a Lord-Chancellor, Mafler of 
 the Rolls, and two, three, or four fallariated 
 Mailers of dhancery. The King s-Bench 0 of 
 a Lord-Chief-Juflice, and two other Judges. 
 The Common-Pleas of the like: The Ex¬ 
 chequer, of a Lord-Chief-Baron, and two 
 other Barons, with the Treafurer and Chan¬ 
 cellor of the Exchequer : And a Preroga¬ 
 tive, whereof the Primate of Armagh is 
 Judge. 
 
 T here is alfo a Palatinate-Court in Tippe¬ 
 rary , whereof the Duke of Ormond is Lord 
 of the Liberties and Regalities to it belong¬ 
 ing. There is alfo a Court of Admiralty : 
 Every Bifhop hath alfo two Courts. And 
 there have been formerly and lately ("but 
 now An. 1672, fufpended) a Prelidency of 
 Munjler , and another of Connaght , who med¬ 
 dle not with Life or Limb, nor Titles of 
 Land. 
 
 There is alfo a Court-Marfoal, for the 
 Affairs of the Army, who in times of peace

 often txanfmit accus’d perfons to the Civil- 
 Power. 
 
 To ail thefe Courts do belong feveral 
 Officers and Counfellors of Law, whereof 
 1 reckon thofe of the hrft Claffis, gain by 
 Eftimation about 6oo /. per ^w«.each — - 
 , the fecond gain about 300 1 per Ann . And 
 the third gain not above 100 /. per Ann. 
 
 There are alfo ---■-fworn Attor- 
 
 nies, gaining about 120 Lper A?m. one with 
 another. 
 
 There are in Ireland about 950 Judices 
 of the Peace, appointed by the Lord Chan¬ 
 cellor ^ an Head-Conftable for each Barony 
 or Hundred, being 252^ and a petty Con- 
 flable for each Pariffi} whereof are about 
 2278. 
 
 The Ecclefiaftical Government is by 
 Arch-Biffiops, Biffiops, Arch-Deacons, Deans 
 of Cathedral-Churches, in all which there 
 are now actually but one Quire entire, and 
 that in Dublin, ferving both a tChriJt-Church, 
 and St. Patrick’s. And the Parfons, Vicars, 
 and Curates for the P rotejl ant-Religion, are 
 in all Ireland at this day near 500, and a- 
 bout half the Tythes are impropriate, and 
 belonging to Lay-men.

 concerns the Number and Species of Perfons

 managing the fame. But the internal and 
 myftical Government of /reland is thus, viz. 
 
 i. There are always about twenty Gen¬ 
 tlemen of the Irijb Marion and Ropifo Reli¬ 
 gion, who by reafon of their Families, good 
 Farts, Courtly Education and Carriage, are 
 fupported by the Jrijh to negotiate their 
 Concernments at the Court of England, 
 and of the Vice-Roy in Ireland. 
 
 Thefe men raife their Contributions by 
 the Priefls fwho actually and immediately 
 govern the People.) 1 he Priefls are go¬ 
 vern’d by at lead: 24 Romijh Bifhops, all of 
 whom have a longtime been converfant in 
 France , Spain, Italy, Germany , England, 
 where as Chaplains andAlmoners, &q. they 
 have made an intered with the governing 
 Men and Miniflers- of State in thofe feveral 
 Kingdoms, and have obtained fome Benefits 
 and Preferments from them. 
 
 So as the Body of the Irijh-Papijis (being 
 about 800,000 whereof near 700,060 do live 
 in wretched Cabbins, without Chimney or 
 Window) are govern’d by about 1000 Se¬ 
 cular Priefls, and 2500 Friars and Regulars 
 of feveral Orders • whereof mod are Fran - 
 cifcam, next Dominicans and Anguflins , but 
 few Capuchins and Jefmts or Carthufians . 
 Thefe, I fay, are govern’d by their refpe-

 dive Bifhops and Superiors, whom the Mi- 
 nifters of Foreign States do alfo govern and

 So as upon the whole matter, the Irjjb, 
 who are the Bulk of the Nation, are go¬ 
 vern’d indireddy by Foreign Ppwer^ and fp 
 are the aforenamed Lay-Patriots, their 
 fupport coming from the Clergy conftitu- 
 ted as aforefaid, and who do notonouliy ex- 
 ercife their fpiritual Jurifdidion in Ireland z 
 And do alfo exert a temporal Power, by 
 prevailing with Fapift Juft ices of the Peace, 
 to fend fuch to Gaol as are difobedient to 
 the Clergy, upon feigned or frivolous Com¬ 
 plaints, which they caufe to be brought 
 again# them. 
 
 The Judges aforenamed, all but the 
 Chancellor, go Circuits, whereof there are 
 five twice every year, excepting only in 
 the County of Kerry . 
 
 There is an Univerfity at Dublin , but 
 lying for the mo# part within one College, 
 wherein are a Provo# and feven Senior and 
 Ruling Fellows ^ Nine Junior Fellows* 
 
 fixty Scholars • and at this time-—.- 
 
 Commoners and other Students. 
 
 There was about the year 1669 erected a

 ‘There are belonging to the Prerogative,

 There are in the City of Dublin a Lord- 
 Mayor, 2 Sheriffs, 24 Aldermen,* 48 She¬ 
 riffs Peers, and 96 of the Common-Council. 
 There are befides, Companies or Corpora¬ 
 tions of Tradefmen. 
 
 There is lately inflituted an Hofpital 
 for poor Children, not yet fully perfected 
 nor endowed. 
 
 There is alfo an Hofpital for Sick, Lame, 
 and Old Soldiers, but without Endowment, 
 and Handing but at difcretion and pleafure. 
 
 There are in and near Dublin , three pub- 
 lick Prifons, and one Houfe of Correction. 
 
 Lajlly , I mull intimate, that the Foot- 
 manfnip for which the Irifi 40 years ago 
 were very famous, is now almoft quite loft 
 among them, every man now keeping a fmall

 Of the Militia and Defence ^'Ireland. 
 
 T Here be in Ireland , as elfewhere, two 
 Militias j one are the Juftic'es of 
 
 Peace, 
 
The Political Anatomy 
 Peace, their Militia of High and Petty 
 Conftables * as alfo the Sheriffs Militia of 
 his Servants and Bailiffs, and Poffe Comit atm 
 upon extraordinary occalions. 
 
 Of thefe all together there are in Ireland 
 near 5000all of which are bound within 
 their feveral Diftrids, there to ad, and not 
 elfewhere. 
 
 There is, or hath lately been an Army 
 in Ireland , of about thirty Troops of Horfe, 
 and fixty Companies of Foot, with a Re^ 
 gimentof Guards at Dublin, as a Life-Guard 
 for the Lord Lieutenant, making in all 
 about five thoufand Men. 
 
 There is alfo a Proteftant Militia, of 
 about 24000 Men, vi&, about 10000 Horfe, 
 and the reff Foot; 
 
 The People of Ireland are all in Fadions 
 and Parties, called English and Irijh, Prote- 
 jtants and Papifls : Tho’ indeed the real 
 diffindion is vefted and diverted of the 
 Land belonging toPapiJls, J?mo 1641. Of 
 which the Irijh that are verted by Reftorati- 
 on, feem rather to take part with the di¬ 
 verted. And the chief Pique which the 
 Popifi Clergy have at the Protejlants is, 
 that they have the Church Livings and Ju- 
 rifdidions^ for the exercife of their Fun- 
 dion they have mort freely,’ and had, when 
 they undertook their Projed in 1641. The 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 differences between the old Irifti and old Eng- 
 lilh Papifts are ajleep ?iow 0 becaufe they have 
 a common Enemy . 
 
 The old Proteftants of Queen Elizabeth 
 and King James's Plantation (till of late) 
 did not much love the new Englijh , who 
 came overfince 1641, or rather "fince 1646 
 and 1648, becaufe they envied the great 
 Shares which they had gotten of the for¬ 
 feited Lands from the late Ufurpers. But 
 now they alfo are well enough together, 
 fince the faid old Proteftants have had good 
 Provifo’s in the Ads of Settlement, andSa- 
 tisfadion for their Service before June 1649, 
 and ftnce the Church-Revenues have been 
 augmented by the Forfeitures j but chiefly, 
 for that the faid old Proteftants have all the 
 Power and Preferments' Civil, Military, 
 and Ecclefiaftical. 
 
 Of the new Englijh , fome are Confer- 
 mips , others not: And fome have fallen in 
 with other Parties, and others not. 
 
 Of the old Proteftants, there are alfo 
 Parties, I cannot fay Fadions, chiefly de¬ 
 nominated by the Names of their Families, 
 a's the Butlers and Fitz-Geraids were of 
 old. 
 
 But to return: The chief Fadions are 
 the veiled and diverted of forfeited Lands * 
 all Irife) and Papifts generally fearing the 
 
 latter.

 latter, and mod: Englifi and Protejlants the 
 former, as appears in all Juries and Tefti- 
 monies given where the Lands or Lives of 
 one or other are concerned. Now in fome 
 Counties, as in Kerwy, many Forfeitures 
 happened, and few Reftorations, and there 
 alfo few Englijh were ever planted, nor can 
 well endure to live: So as the firfl fort of 
 Militia in thefe and other like Counties, 
 are Irijlo Papijls, diverted and discontented 
 Perfons.. Whereby the few Englijh there 
 can have no Jurtice executed, for want of 
 hands wherewith to do it: Nor can they ea- 
 fily get indifferent Juries, but that the She¬ 
 riffs are Englijfo . for the mort part, and mod 
 commonly Protertants. In which Cafe, fome 
 have been of opinion, that the other Mili¬ 
 tia, namely, the Army, may both in Law 
 and Reafon Supply this defed, in times when 
 there is not occahon for them, to guard the 
 Land from Invafion and Rebellion. For 
 why might not 30 Sheriffs be taken out of 
 120 Officers of the Army, vi&. 60 Captains 
 and Lieutenants of Horfe, and 60 Captains 
 of Foot ? And why may not Such be as 
 refponlible for executing juft Sentences a$ 
 any other? And what Terror is there in 
 the Force which a Bailiff ufeth, more than 
 in that which one call’d a Soldier carries 
 with him ? And why ffiould the Military 
 
 Officer 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 Officer or Sheriff ufe more force or terror 
 than to make the Debtor or Malefactor an- 
 fwer the Law, and obey the Sentence of a 
 Civil Court ? And is it not more convenient 
 and eafy in great riotous Contempts, to 
 bring a Troop or Company, whofe Trade 
 it is to ufe Arms and apply Force dexter- 
 oufly, than to ufe the Pnjffe Comitatus ^ that 
 is, to call abundance of men from their La¬ 
 bour and Calling, to attempt things of dan¬ 
 ger, which they do not underftand ) More¬ 
 over, if the General can quarter the Army 
 where he pleafes, and that the Sheriffs or 
 Conftable can, in their refpe&ive Precin&s, 
 call whom he pleafes to his affiftance j then 
 the General can caufe fuch a competent 
 Force to be quarter’d in thofe thin peopled 
 Counties. And the Sheriffs and Juftices can 
 call fuch to their affiftance, excepting where 
 fuch Soldiers are in formal Garrifons upon 
 actual Duty, or in other cafes to be agreed 
 upon between the Civil and Military 
 Powers fo call’d, altho’ there can be no 
 Country without Force, nor any Army 
 without a Policy and Difcipline. But of 
 this let the Lawyers talk further. 
 
 As for the Military Force of Ireland , vul¬ 
 garly and properly fo call’d, i. The {land¬ 
 ing Army is fuch as the prefent Revenue 
 can well maintain, which perhaps is, or ve¬ 
 ry

 ry lately was about 6000, and is every 
 year or other changed, as his Majefty 
 feemsbeft. 2. The Proteftant Militia now 
 already eltabliffied and formed, is abour 24 
 or 25 thoufand men, molt of them already 
 experienced in the Wars of Ireland. 
 
 The third, of grand Force againft fo¬ 
 reign Invalions, I conceive may be 70000 
 men of the belt afFe&ed, and leaf! Pope- 
 affeded Irijb\ for fo many I conceive the 
 50000 of the Handing Army and prefent 
 Militia could well Officer and Command. 
 Now that 100,000 may be fpar’d to fend as 
 Soldiers in a time of extremity, I think is 
 f)lain, for that there are 550,000 Males in 
 Ireland , whereof 150,000 can perform all 
 the necelfary Labour of Husbandmen and 
 Tradefmen:, 200,000 of them are perhaps 
 under 16, and above 60. Nor doth the qua¬ 
 lity of the remaining exempt them from 
 fervice, who are to Hand for a referve. 
 
 And this Force I take to be fufficient to 
 refill: any number of men which any Prince 
 of the World hath Shipping enough to 
 bring into Ireland , with fuch Horfe, Arms, 
 Ammunition and Victuals as are fit for fuch 
 an Enterprize.

 quently or fiercely, and what proportion of 
 the whole year from each Point. 2. As to 
 Heat and Cold, I conceive the fame ought 
 to be meafur’d by the Weather-Glafs or 
 Thermometer. 3. As to Wetnefs or Moi- 
 
 flure, by the fhrinking of Lute-firings, by 
 the quantity of Rain falling upon a certain 
 quantity of level fuperficies, and by the 
 quantity of Water dried up with the fame

 equal dimenfions. 
 
 As for other changes in the Air, fuppofed 
 to depend upon the gravity or levity thereof,

 To the much or little Sunfhine, whereof

 par’d with the like Obfervations, made with 
 the fame or like Inflruments, in the feveral 
 parts of the Earth 3 we mufl for the prefent

 only fay, that there are in being the feve- 
 ral Inftruments following, viz. 
 
 1. An Inftrument to meafure the mo¬

 flrength. 
 
 2. How many hours in the day in the 
 whole year it blows from any point of the

 5. To meafure what quantity of Rain 
 falls in the year upon any quantity or fpace

 In the mean time let it fuftice to fay, that 
 at Dublin the Wind blows 2 parts of 5 from 
 the South-Weft to the Weft, one part from 
 South-Weft to the South j one other from

 allowance being made for extraordinary

 by the bed Eftimates and Approaches that

 it follows, that fuch a Cow upon fuch feed-

 be 5 per Am. and of the half Acre of Mea¬

 comes but to a Farthing, expecting what the

 unto that price} which Ifuppofe not above 
 as much more. 
 
 The faid quantity of Milk will make 7 C.

 Or elfe 2 C. of Butter, and 1 C. of Skim-

 An Ox of 6 or 7 years old will not require

 A Fleece of Wool ip Ireland is about 2 1 ,

 An Hog eats fuch things as Sheep and

 One Cow-herd will ferye ioo Oxen, one

 From all that hath been faid, we colled, 
 that the natural and genuine Rent of Lands 
 in Ireland , not that of Mony, or Gold and

 So as where Lands produce more or lefs 
 per Ann . communibns annis of thefe Com¬

 or lefs fertil tfan that of Ireland* 
 
 Moreover from hence we fhall endeavour 
 to gather the number of Cattel in ktlan^ 
 as folioweth, viz. 
 
 There being 7 Millions and a half of A- 
 tres of good Meadow, Arable, and Pafture- 
 Larid iii Ireland\ befides Bog with Shrub-

of IRELAND; 
 
 wood, &u commonly call’d unprofitable

 the Inhabitants with Corn for Bread and 
 Drink, Man and Beall, Hemp, Flax and 
 Rape, as fhall be hereafter (hewn-from the 
 number of the People, their manner of eat¬ 
 ing, from the number of Mills, and from 
 the value of the Tythes, fiippoling the 
 other 7 Millions to be competently well 
 Rock’d, let us hrlf fee how many Houfes 
 there may probably be. 
 
 To which purpofe, remember that there 
 are 184,009 Families, whole Houfes have 
 but one or no Ghimny. Now I guefs, that 
 about 1 3d of this number keep a fmali 
 Horfe call’d a Garran, which is 61,coo Gar- 
 rans for Tillage 3 and I fuppofe that the 
 16,000 Families have for the Coach and 
 Saddle near 40000 Horfes. So as in Ire¬ 
 land there are about 100,000 Horfes, whole 
 Food requires 100,000 Acres of good Fa¬ 
 ilure, 50,000 Acres of Meadow, and the 
 6th part of an Acre of Oat-Land, vikn 
 about 16,000 Acres. In all 166,000 Acres. 
 Or if the Iiorfes be fuch as require little 
 or no Hay and Oats, as the Horfes of poor 
 People do not, then as aforefaid, 2 or 2 A- 
 cres and a half is allow’d to each Horfe. 
 
 The Wooll which is ufually exported, 
 being a little above 2 Millions of pounds, 
 E 4 grows 
 
5 6 the Political dnatomy 
 
 grows upon ioo,coo Sheep: And the Wooli 
 which cloaths the Nation being about 
 nco,ooo Bodies, at —/. each for Cloaths, 
 Hats and Stockins requires 6,000,000 more, 
 and fo 3 Millions more of Sheep, in all 4 
 Millions. The feeding whereof, at 5 to an 
 Acre, requires 809,poo Acres. So as Horfe 
 and Sheep require one Million of Acres. So 
 as there remains one half, a Million being 
 allow d for all other Cattel, Bealls and Ver- 
 inine, 5 Millions and half for great Cattel, 
 which will feed about 3, Millions of that 
 Species. 
 
 If there be 3 Millions of black Cattel, 
 then we fuppofe 1,500,000 Males. 
 
 Of Females 1,500,000,. of whjch 2 38s 
 are Milch-Cows, viz,, 600,oco. 
 
 Of Calves and Heifers under 3 years, 
 600,000, and 300,000 of other forts.

 above-qamed, there are 60,000 exported 
 alive, and 30,000 dead in Barrels, Of the 
 Sheep not 100,000. 
 
 Of Butter, whereof one of the 600,900

 Milch-Cows may well yield i C. weight 
 per Ann . but.26000 C. or the proceed of 
 26000 Cows. From whence may be feen 
 whether the Trade of thofe Commodities 
 be yet at beft: For I guefs that the 6th 
 of the whole Stock may be annually fpeilt 
 at home, or exported abroad. 
 
 It remains only to fay, that one Acre of

 followeth.

 Proteftant Lands in the fame three Pro.

 by the Owners of the faid Lands them-

 manner, that little Account can be given of 
 them, befides what was collected by the faid 
 Sir William Petty , who at his own charge, 
 befides thofe Maps of every Parifii, which 
 by his Agreement . her delivered into the 
 Surveyor-General’s Office, he. hath caufe^ 
 diftinct Maps to be made of eveuy Banpiy, 
 or Hundred*, as alfo of every County, en¬ 
 graven in Copper, and the like of every

 which, could the Dgfe&s of themjbe flip- 
 plied with the yet unmeasured Lahdspvbiiil

 Now as to the value of thefe Lands, 
 they were Anno 1642, rated to and by the 
 Adventurers as followeth, viz, in Lemfter 
 at 12 per Acre, in Mtmfter at 9 s, in Con¬ 
 naught at 6 s» and in XJIJier at 4 s. and to pay 
 1 Farthing per Ann . Quit-rent to the King 
 out of each Shiilings-worth of Land fo rated, 
 viz, 3 d . or 12 Farthings for an Acre in 
 Lemfter rated at 12 j*. 9 q. or 2 d, iq, an 
 Acre for Lands in Munfter rated at 9 s . d* 
 yfc c&teris. Wood, Bog, and Mountain, 
 to be caft in over and above. 
 
 Afterwards the Soldiers, who were to 
 have the fatisfa&ion of their Arrears at the 
 fame rate, not being willing to caff Lots 
 upon fuch defperate hazards, did Anno 1653, 
 equalize Counties within each Province, 
 viz, took fome in Lemfter , at 1 /. 2 j *. per 
 Acre, fome at 1 /. &c, And thofe who were 
 fatished Anno 1655, and afterwards, did 
 equalize not only Counties, but Baronies 
 alfo, valuing fome Baronies in Lemfter at 
 1 /. 4 s. per Acre, and fome but at 6 s, and 
 others at all rates between thofe two ex- 
 treams. But fo as that, notwithflanding 
 all the faid differences, the whole Province 
 fhould be given and taken at 12 j. per Acre, 
 according to the then Law. And the Ine¬ 
 quality remaining after this Equalization, 
 was to be corre&ed by a Lot.

6o 'The Political Anatomy 
 
 I could here infert all the : -particulars of 
 thefe Tranfacdions, but conceive it imperti- 
 nent to jny purpofe, efpecially fince they 
 may be feen upon Record. The next .and 
 belt of all preceding Equalization, was that 
 which the Concernees of each County made' 
 in order to regulate the heavy Contributi¬ 
 ons paid to the. Ufurpers before his Majefty’s 
 Reftoration, and when no Quit-Rent was 
 yet due. And in order to this work, not 
 Baronies as before, but Parilhes, nay, parti¬ 
 cular Farms were alfo equalized. What was 
 done herein, was not publickly recorded, but 
 cohered by .the curious, and too bulky to be 
 here inferted. Only take notice, that thefe 
 Valuations were made as Parties interefted 
 could prevail upon and again!! one another 
 by their Attendance, Friends, Eloquence, 
 and Vehemence*, for what other Foundation 
 of Truth-it had in Nature, I know not. 
 
 Next to this Valuation, there was, in or¬ 
 der to a certain Gift prefented to his Ma- 
 jefty, by the Adventurers and Soldiers, of 
 a years value of ail their Lands as it yielded 
 Anno 1659, next immediately before his 
 Reftoration. There ilfued a Commifiion, 
 Amo 1663, to inquire into and fettle the 
 laid Values. And about 1667, there were 
 made two feveral Valuations rnorethe one 
 in order to reprize fuch who had reftored 
 
 Lands 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 Lands to the innocent Irifl in equal value ^ 
 and another was a Determination what 
 each Land was worth Ann. 1659. (what¬ 
 ever it yielded): Both which, efpecially the 
 latter, are upon Record moft authentically. 
 Moreover, Ann. 1653, and 1654. 
 werelnquilitions taken of the Values which 
 all and every parcel of Land in Ireland yiel¬ 
 ded Ann. 1641. There have been alfo fe~ 
 veral'Ads of the chief Powers pro tempore , 
 for apportioning what proportion of a cer¬ 
 tain Sum to be levied in general, Ihould in 
 particular be charg’d on each County, viz. 
 Ann. 1657. there was an Ad of the Ufur- 
 per’s Parliament to that purpofe. Ann. 16624 
 There was an Ad for railing 30,000 1 . as a 
 Prefent to his Grace the Duke of Ormond * 
 and another for railing of monies for feveral 
 publick Ufes. And Ann. 1672. for the 
 equal railing of 30000 L per Ann. upon all 
 the Lands and Houfes of the whole Na¬ 
 tion. There be alfo Accompts of what was 
 raifed out of each County by way of Sub- 
 (idy and Pole-money, paid Ann. 1661. All 
 which may be of much light to thofe who 
 have fuch deligns as the fame will anfwer. 
 But 1 being afTured by whom, and for what 
 ends,.and by what means every fuch Valu¬

 thence the natural Value of the Land may

 and confequently the Value of the Lani,

 upon it. And this brings me to- the moft 
 ' important Confideration in Political Oeco- 
 f nomies, viz. how to make a Par and Equa- 
 r tion between Lands and Labour, fo as to 
 “ exprefs the Value of any thing by either 
 1 alone. To which purpofe, fuppofe two 
 ' s Acres of Pahure-land inclofed, and put 
 lC thereinto a wean’d Calf, which I fuppofe 
 v in twelve Months will become i C. heavier 
 in eatable Flelh} then i C. weight of fuch 
 Fiefh, which I fuppofe fifty days Food, and 
 . the Intereh of the Value of the Calf, is the 
 value or years Rent of the Land. But if a 
 
 Man’s labour --for a year can 
 
 make the faid Land to yield more than fix- 
 “ ty days Food of the fame, or of any other 
 “ kind, then that overplus of days food is the 
 c , Wages of the Man-, both being expreffed 
 by the number of days food. That feme 
 Men will eat more than others, is not ma- 
 terial, fince by a days food we underhand 
 12 One hundredth part of what ico of all forts 
 :i and fizes will eat, fo as to live, labour, and. 
 
 31 generate. And that a days food of one fort 
 " may require more labour to produce, than 
 another fort, is aifo not material, fince we 
 \ underhand the eafieh-gotten food of the 
 S refpective Countries of the World, 
 u As for example, 1 fuppofe a pint of Oat- 
 } meal equal to half a pint of Rice, or a quart 
 * of 
 
The Political Anatomy 
 of Milk, or a pound of Bread, or a pound 
 and quarter of Flefh, &c. each, in the re- 
 fpe&ive place where each is the eafieft got¬ 
 ten food. But if Rice be brought out of 
 India into Irela?id\ or Oatmeal carried from 
 Ireland thither j then in India the pint of 
 Oatmeal mull be dearer than half a pint 
 of Rice, by the freight and hazard of Car¬ 
 riage, & vice-verfia , & fie de cater is. For 
 as for pleafant taft, I queftion whether 
 there be any certainty, or regularity of the 
 fame in Nature, the fame depending upon 
 Novelty, opinion of Virtue, the recommen¬ 
 dation of others, &c. Wherefore the days 
 food of an adult Man, at a Medium, and 
 not the days labour, is the common meafure 
 of Value, and feems to be as regular and con- 
 flarit as the value of fine Silver. For an 
 ounce, fuppofe of Silver in Peru is equiva¬ 
 lent to a days food, but the fame id Ruffid 
 is equivalent to four days food, by reafon 
 of the Freight, and hazard in carrying the 
 fame from Peru to RuJJid ^arid in Ruffiat he 
 price of Silver (hall grow to be worth more 
 days labour, if a Workman can by the efleem 
 and requeft of Silver Utenfils earn more 
 than he canon other materials. Wherefore

 in the World, I know not, much lefs in 
 Ireland , tho’ moft are perfwaded that Gold 
 and Silver Money is fuch. For 1. The 
 proportion of value between pure Gold 
 and fine Silver, alters as the Earth and 
 Indufhy of men produce more of one 
 than of the other*, that is to fay, Gold 
 has been worth but twelve times its own 
 weight in Silver ^ of late it has been worth 
 fourteen, becaufe more Silver has been got¬ 
 ten. That of Gold proportiohably, i. e . a- 
 bout twelve times as much Silver has been 
 raifed as of Gold, which makes Gold dear¬ 
 er. So there can be but one of the two 
 ' Metals of Gold and Silver to be a fit mat¬ 
 es ter for Money. Wherefore, if Silver be 
 > that one Metal fit for Money} then Gold 
 k is but a Commodity very like Money. And 
 t as things now hand, Silver only is the mat- 
 f. ter of Money j and that elfewhere as well 
 as in Ireland .

 The Mifchiefs and Inconveniences hither¬ 
 to mentioned, are common to all times and 
 places*, but in Ireland are more particular- 
 and ftand thus, viz. 
 
 A piece of 8 Rials being full 17 penny 
 weight, palfeth for 4 s. yd. if it want but 
 half a grain of the weight, tho* half a grain 
 of Silver be worth but the 4th part of a 
 Farthing, or the fixteenth of a penny, then 
 it paffes for 3 d lefs, viz 4 j. 6 d. and if it 
 weigh ten grains above 17 d. weight, it 
 paffes but for 4 s. y d. On the other hand, 
 if it weigh but 1 2 d. weight, it paffes never- 
 thelefs for 4 s. 6 d , And if the Silver be 
 courfe, if not focourfe, as not to be called 
 Silver, yet ftill it paffes for the fame. More¬ 
 over, the finenefs cannot be determined by 
 common Eyes fcarce at all, by the bed not 
 within 4 d. in an Ounce, by the Touchffone 
 not within 2 d. and by the Teft it felf not 
 within a half-penny. Laftly, the Scales 
 and Weights differ fo much from each other, 
 as what is 4 s. y d . in one Houfe, is but 4/, 
 
 6 d . in the next, & vice verfa . From ' 
 whence it comes to pafs, that all pieces < 
 weighing above 17 d. weight, are cull’d out 
 to buy or make pieces of 14 d. weight to ! 
 pafs for 4 s, 6 d, 1

 rata contain the fame quantity of the like 
 Q Gold and Silver, with the piece of eight

 i another for lefs. What hath been faid of 
 the Silver-fpecies, may be faid of the Gold- 
 it fpecies} and what differences are between 
 k Silver and Silver, and between Gold and 
 i Gold, is alfo between Silver and Gold 
 ( Coy ns. So as it becomes a Trade to fludy 
 i: and make Advantages of thefe Irregu- 
 f larities, to the prejudice of the good Peo- 
 , pie who are taught, that whatever is 
 u called Money, is the fame, and regu- 
 •f lar, and uniform, and a juft Meafure of all 
 1 Commodities. From whence it hath hap-' 
 li pened, that all Englijb Money which hath

 j carried away out of Ireland , and fuch Mo- 
 : ney brought in head of it, as thefe ftudied 
 t Merchants do from time to time bring in 
 ] for their Advantage upon the common 
 People, their Credulity and Ignorance. 
 
 But Money, that is to fay, Silver and 
 Gold, do at this day much decreafe in Ire¬ 
 land, for the following Reafons.

 to a much greater Value than it imported,

 portation of great Cattel and Sheep, alive 
 or dead, into England the Value whereof 
 carried into England in that very year 1664. 
 was above 150,000 /. The which was fa id to 
 have been done, for that Ireland drained 
 away the Money of England, Whereas in 
 that very year England lent to Ireland , but 
 91 cool. Jefs than it received from thence; 
 and yet this fmall difference was faid to be 
 the Reafon why the Rents of England fell 
 a fifth part, that is i,6co,ocoin 8 Millions, 
 Which was a flrange conceit, if they con- 
 fid er farther, that the value of the Cattel 
 alive or dead, wdiich went out of Ireland 
 into England was but 132000/. the Hides, 
 Tallow, and Freight whereof were worth 
 about half that Money.

 5. To remit fo many great Sums out of 
 Ireland into England , when ali Trade be-

 der to furniih the faid Sums in England\ 
 mud for Example go into the Barbadoes 5 and 
 there be fold for Sugars, which brought 
 into England , are fold for Money to pay 
 there what Ireland owes. Which way be¬ 
 ing fo long, tedious, and hazardous, mud 
 necedarily fo raife the exchange of Money, 
 as we have feen 15 per.Cent . frequently gi- 
 t ven. Anno 1671. and Anno 1672. Altho’ 
 in truth, exchange can never be naturally 
 more than the Land and W ater-carriage 
 of Money between the two Kingdoms, 
 and the enfurance of the fame upon the 
 way, if the Money be alike in both places. 
 
 But Men that have not had the faculty 
 of making thefe Tranfmidions with dexte¬ 
 rity, have chofe rather to give 15 perCent. 
 Exchange, as aforefaid, than to put them- 
 felves upon the hazard of fuch underta¬ 
 kings, and the mifchief of being difap-

 would alfo rife proportionably. They

 Of the Trade ^/Ireland. 
 
 I F it be true, that there are but about 
 16,000 Families in Ireland, who have 
 above one Chimney in their Houfes • and 
 above 180,000 others ^ it will be ealily un- 
 derllood what the Trade of this latter fort 
 can be, who ufe few Commodities*, and 
 thofe fuch as almoft every one can make 
 and produce. That is to fay, Men live in 
 fuch Cottages as themfelves can make in 
 3 or 4 DaySj eat fuch Food (Tobacco ex¬ 
 cepted) as they buy not from others ^ wear 
 fuch Cloaths as the Wool of their own Sheep, 
 fpun into Yarn by themfelves, doth make j 
 their Shoes, called Brogues, are but a Quar¬ 
 ter fo much worth as a Pair of Englijh Shoes; 
 nor of more than a Quarter in real ufe and 
 value. A Hat colls 20 d. a pair of Stockings 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 6 d. but a good Shirt near 3 s. The Tay¬ 
 lors work of a Doublet, Breeches and Coat 
 about 2 s. 6 d. In brief, the Vi&uals of a 
 Man, his Wife, three Children, and Servant, 
 refolved into Money, may be eflimated 3 j*. 
 6 d, per Week, or 1 d.per Diem. The Cloaths 
 of a Man 30 s. per Ann. of Children under 
 1 6, one with another 15 s. the Houfe not 
 worth 5 s. the Building j Fuel colls nothing 
 but fetching. So as the whole Annual ex¬ 
 pence of fuch a Family, confining of 6 in 
 Number, feems to be but about 52 Shillings 
 per Ann . each head one with another. So 
 as 950,000 Inhabitants of thefe Edifices, may 
 fpend 2,375,000 per Ann. And the 150,000 
 who inhabit the 16,000 other Houfes, may 
 fpend 10/. per Ann. each one with another, 
 viz. One Million and half. So as the whole 
 People of both forts fpend under 4 Millions, 
 whereof the icth part, viz. 400,000 /. for 
 Foreign Commodities, Tobacco included, 
 whereof every 1000 Souls fpends one Tun 
 per Ann. or evety 1000 Tobacco-takers, 
 viz. People above 15 Years old, fpend two 
 Tuns one with another: for it appears by 
 the lateft accompt of importance, that 
 what is here faid, is true to a trifle. From 
 whence I obferve by the way, that the 
 King’s Revenue, viis & modis , being about 
 200,000/. per Ann. that it is the 20th part 
 
The Political Anatomy 
 of the whole Expence j which in forae of 
 the Grecian Commonwealths was thought 
 too much, although the Israelites allowed 
 the Tenth to the Levites only, tho* per¬ 
 haps to defray the whole charge of the Go¬ 
 vernment, the Supremacy amongft that 
 People being then Sacerdotal. 
 
 I obferve alfo by the way, that the Lands 
 and Houfing of Ireland being worth about 
 one Million* per Atm, that the Labour of 
 the People may be worth three Millions, 
 which is earned by about 750,000 f of the 
 1,100,000) who by their Age and Quality 
 are fit and applicable to Corporal Labours, 
 and confequently each labouring Perfon 
 earns but 4 s, per Ann . if all Work. Or if 
 each earns 8 /. then but half them work, 
 or all but half their full time, or otherwife 
 in other proportions. But be it one way 
 or the other- I am as certain that the 
 Hands of Ireland may earn a Million per 
 Ann, more than they now do, as I am cer¬ 
 tain that there are 750,000 in Ireland who 
 could earn 2 s. a week, or 5 /. per Atm, one 
 with another, if they had fuitable employ¬ 
 ment, and were kept to their Labour. 
 
 I further obferve, that if there be natu¬ 
 rally but 2000 Impotents in Ireland\ and 
 that 50 Shillings per Amu doth maintain 
 the poorer fort of Peonle 1 it follows, that 
 
 8,coo/, 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 8 c oo L per Ann * would amply maintain all 
 the Impotents of Ireland , if well apply’d. 
 For other Beggars, as aifo Thieves, and 
 Rebels, which are but bigger Thieves, are 
 probably but the faults and defeds of Go¬ 
 vernment and Difcipline. 
 
 As for the fitnefs of Ireland for Trade, 
 we fay as followeth. 
 
 i if, That Ireland confiding of above 
 18,000 fquare miles, it is not one Place 
 with another above 24 miles from the Sea, 
 becaufe it is 750 miles about: Wherefore 
 forafmuch as the ^Land-carriage of Grofs 
 that will be eafy in fuch a Country, it is 
 fit for Trade, becaufe the greateft and molt 
 profitable part of Trade, and the Imploy- 
 ment of Shipping, depends upon fuch 
 Goods, viz. Metals, Stones, Timber, Grain i 
 Wood, Salt, &c . 
 
 'idly, Ireland lieth commodioully for the 
 Trade of the new American World} which 
 we fee every day to grow and flourilh. 
 
 It lieth well for fending Butter, Cheefe, 
 Beef, Fifh, to their proper Markets, which 
 are to the Southward, and the Plantations 
 of America. 
 
 Thus is Ireland by Nature fit for Trade, 
 but otherwife very much unprepared for 
 the farne^ for as hath been often faid, the 
 Houfing thereof confifts of 160,000 nafly 
 
 Cabbins, 
 
 77 
 
The [Political Anatomy 
 Cabbins, in which neither Butter nor 
 Cheefe, nor Linnen, Yarn or Worfted, 
 and I think no other, can be made to the 
 belt advantagechiefly by reafon of the 
 Soot and Smoaks annoying the fame} as 
 alfo for the Narrowneis and ISlaftinefs of 
 the Place - which cannot be kept clean nor 
 fafe from Beafts and Vermin, nor from 
 Damps and mufty Stenches, of which all 
 the Eggs laid or kept in thofe Cabbins do 
 partake. Wherefore to the advancement 
 of Trade, the reformation of thefe Cabbins 
 is necelfary. 
 
 It may aifo be confider’d, whether the 
 Inftitution of thefe following Corpora¬ 
 tions would not be expedient, viz. i. of 
 Cattel, 2. of Corn, 3. of Filh, 4. of Lea^| 
 ther, 5. of Wool, 6 . of Linnen, 7. of But¬ 
 ter and Cheefe, 8. of Metals and Mine¬ 
 rals : For unto thefe, almolt all the Com¬ 
 modities exportable out of Irelatid, may be 
 referr’d. 
 
 It may alfo be confider’d, whether the 
 Taxing of thofe Cabbins with Hearth- 
 mony be proper, but rather with Days 
 Labour ^ the former being fcarce poflible 
 for them to have, but the latter moll eafy. 
 Infomuch as ’tis more eafy for them to 
 give 49 Days Labour per Ann . at feafonable 
 
of Ireland; 
 
 times, than to pay 2 s. in Silver at a 
 pinch, and juft when the Collectors call 
 for it. 
 
 The Diet, Houfing and Cloathing of the 
 i6,oco Families above-mentioned, is much 
 the fame as in England: Nor is the French 
 Elegance unknown in many of them, nor 
 the French and Latin Tongues. The lat¬ 
 ter whereof is very frequent among the 
 pooreft Irijh, and chiefly in Kerry, moft re¬ 
 mote from Dublin. 
 
 The Houflng of 160,000 Families, is, as 
 hath been often faid, very wretched. But 
 their Cloathing is far better than that of 
 the French Peafants, or the Poor of moft 
 other Countries ^ which advantage they 
 have from their Wooll, whereof 12 Sheep 
 furnifheth a competency to one of thefe 
 Families. Which Wooll, and the Cloth 
 made of it, doth coft thefe poor People no 
 lefs than 50000 /. per Ann. for the dying it j 
 a Trade exercifed by the Women of the 
 Country. Madder, Allum, and Indico, are 
 imported, but the other dying Stuffs they 
 find nearer home, a certain Mud taken out 
 of the Bogs ferving them for Copperas, 
 the Rind of feveral Trees, and Saw-duff, 
 for Galls- as for wild and green Weed?, 
 they find enough, as alfo of Rhamnus- 
 Berries.

 The Political Anatomy 
 
 The Diet of thefe People is Milk, fweet 
 and tower, thick and thin, which alfo is 
 their Drink in Summer-time, in "Winter 
 Smali-Reer or Water. But Tobacco taken 
 in ihort Pipes feldom burnt, feems the 
 pleafure of their Lives, together with Snee¬ 
 zing : Infomuch, that two 7ths of their 
 Expence in Food, is Tobacco. Their Food 
 is Bread in Cakes, whereof a Penny ferves 
 a Week for each ^ Potatoes from August 
 till May, Mufcles, Cockles and Oylters, 
 near the Sea} Eggs and Butter made very 
 rancid, by keeping in Bogs. As for Flefli, 
 they feldom eat it, notwithftanding the 
 great plenty thereof, unlefs it be of the 
 fmaller Animals, becaufe it is inconveni¬ 
 ent for one of thefe Families to kill a 
 Beef, which they have no convenience to 
 fave. So as ’tis ealier for them to have a 
 Hen or Rabbet, than a piece of Beef of 
 equal fubftance* 
 
 Their Fewel is Turf in mofi places- and 
 of late, even where Wood is mod plentiful, 
 and to be had for nothing, the cutting and 
 carriage of the Turf being more eafy than 
 that of Wood. But to return from whence 
 I digrelfed ^ I may fay, that the Trade of 
 Ireland, among 19 in 22 parts of the whole 
 People, is little or nothing, excepting for 
 the Tobacco above-mentioned, eftimated 
 
 worth 
 
of IRELAND. 8 1 
 
 worth about 50,000/. forafmuch as they 
 do not need any Foreign Commodities, 
 nor fcarce any thing made out of their own 
 Village. Nor is above one fifth part of 
 their Expence other than what their own 
 Family produceth, which Condition and 
 ftate of living cannot beget Trade. 
 
 And now I fhall digrefs again to confider, 
 whether it were better for the Common¬ 
 wealth to reftrain the Expence of 150,000 
 Optimates below 10/. per Ann, each j or to 
 • beget a luxury in the 950,000 Plebeians, 
 
 J fo as to make them fpend, and confequently 
 earn double what they at prefent do. 
 
 *!' To which I anfwer in brief, That the 
 31 ' one (hall encreafe the fordidnefs and fquai- 
 a lor of living already too vifible in 950,000 
 t0 Plebeians, with little benefit to the Com- 
 £; mon-Wealthy the other fhall increafe the 
 Splendor, Art, and Induftry of the 950,000 
 to the great Enriching of the Common- 
 Mi Wealth. 
 
 fal Again, Why fhould we be forbid the ufe 
 am of any Foreign Commodity, which our own 
 hi Hands and Country cannot produce, when 
 snc we can employ our fpare Hands and Lands 
 b upon fuch exportable Commodities as will 
 hot purchafe the fame, and more,

 3. The keeping or leiTening of mony, is 
 not of that confequence that many guefs it 
 to be of. For in moft places, efpecially 
 Ireland , nay, England itfelf, the mony of 
 the whole Nation is but about a 10th part 
 of the Expence of one Year j viz, Ireland 
 is thought to have about 400,000 /. in Cafh, 
 and to fpend about 4 Millions per Ann , 
 Wherefore it is very ill Husbandry to 
 double the Cafh of the Nation, by deftroy- 
 ing half its Wealth*, or to increafe the 
 Cafh otherwife than by increafing the 
 Wealth jimul <& femel. 
 
 That is, when the Nation hath one 10th 
 more Cafh, 1 require it fhould have one 
 icth more Wealth, if it be poffible. For 
 there may be as well too much mony in a 
 Country, as too little. I mean, as to the 
 beft advantage of its Trade ^ only the Re¬ 
 medy is very eafy, it may be foon turn’d 
 into the magnificence of Gold and Silver 
 Veil els. 
 
 Lajlly , Many think that Ireland is mud 
 impoverifh’d, or at leaft the mony thereof 
 much exhaufted, by reafon of Abfentees, < 
 who are fuch as having Lands in Ireland , i 
 
 do live out of the Kingdom, and do there- a 
 fore think it juft that fuch, according to ^ 
 former Statutes, fhould lofe their laid E* e 
 ftates. & 
 
 Which 
 
of IRELAND. 8 J 
 
 Which Opinion I oppofe, as both unjuft, 
 inconvenient, and frivolous. For i i?, If a 
 man carry mony or other Effects out of 
 England topurchafe Lands in Ireland, why 
 fhould not the Rents, iffues and Profits of 
 the fame Land return into England , with 
 the fame Reafon that the mony of England 
 was diminiftfd to buy it? 
 
 2. J fuppofe one quarter of the Land of 
 Ireland did belong to the inhabitants of 
 England , and that the fame lay all in one 
 place together j why may not the faid 
 quarter of the whole Land be cut off from 
 the other three fent into England , were it 
 poffible fo to do ? and if fo, why may not 
 the Rents of the fame be actually fent, 
 without prejudice to the other three parts 
 of the Intereffor thereof? 
 
 3. If all men were bound to fpend the 
 Proceed of their Lands upon the Land itfelf * 
 then as all the Proceed of Ireland ought to 
 be fpent in Ireland } fo all the Proceed of one 
 County of Ireland ought to be fpent in the 
 fame^ of one Barony, in the fame Barony; 
 and fo Parifli and Mannor} and at length 
 it would follow, that every eater ought to 
 avoid what he hath eaten upon the fame 
 Turf where the fame grew. Moreover, this 
 equal fpreading of Wealth would deftroy 
 all Splendor and Ornament} for if it were 
 
 G 2 not 
 
"The Political Anatomy 
 not fit that one place Ihould be more fplen- 
 did than another, fo alfo that no one man 
 fhould be greater or richer than another- 
 for if fo, then the Wealth, fuppofe of In¬ 
 land, being perhaps 11 Millions, being di¬ 
 vided among i,ico,coo People, then no one 
 man having above io /. could probably build 
 an Houfe worth above 3 /. which would be 
 to leave the face of Beggary upon the whole 
 Nation: And withal fuch Parity would 
 beget Anarchy and Confuficn. 
 
 Of the other Impediment of Trade, which 
 is the railing of mony above the value 
 which the generality of the whole World 
 hath of it, that is, the intrinlick value, I have 
 fpoken before j and now return to other 
 matters relating to the Trade of Ireland, 
 
 Having (hewn that there is little or no 
 Trade or Commutation of Commodities, 
 where people live fo limply, and as it were 
 ex fponte creatis , as the Inhabitants of 
 184,000 Hutts do live* it follows, that 
 what Trade is in Ireland mull be found in 
 the 1 6 ,coo other Houfes of above one Chim- 
 ny in each, and amongft the Inhabitants ; 
 of them. Tho* Trade, properly fpeaking, t 
 be the Commutation of Commodities; yet r, 
 9 tis the way to purchafe Riches and Power, 0 
 the Parents of Pleafure: Not only by f 
 getting Commodities out of the Earth and [ 
 
 Sea; 
 
' •* 
 
 ©/“IRELAND. 85 
 
 Seaj by Ploughing, Filhing, Mines, &c. 
 by getting away thofe Commodities from 
 them who firft got them out of the Earth 
 and Sea, as aforefaid. And not only or 
 at all increafing the whole Wealth of 
 the Nation, but ones own former (hare 
 and proportion of the whole , that is to 
 fay, Suppofing the whole Wealth of 
 Ireland were 10 Millions, and the Share 
 of A . was 1000/. thereof-, I fay, ’tis 
 commonly more the care of A. to make 
 his 1000/. 3000, tho* by lelfening the 
 whole Stock 2000/. than to make the 
 whole Stock 30 Millions, by lelfening his 
 own 1000/. to 300 /. 
 
 Now this is the Trade of Ireland , and I 
 think of mod other places, but exercifed in 
 Ireland by the following ways, viz. 
 
 Whereas the Lands of Ireland have -with¬ 
 in 150 years been moll of them forfeited, 
 and the Lands of Monafteries have lince 
 then fallen into the King’s hands, by the 
 DiiFolution of the Paid Monafteries, and fe- 
 veral Defects found in the Titles, older than 
 that of time j it hath come to p ifs, that all 
 the faid Lands have been granted to feve- 
 ral others} fome legally and formally, fome 
 other wife j fome under one Condition, 
 fome under another. So as by feveral 
 Defe&s in the faid Grants, or by non- 
 G 3 per- 
 
26 
 
 The (Political Anatomy 
 performance of Conditions, and many o- 
 ther ways needlefs to enumerate, the 
 King in ftridnefs may find a Title to 
 the Eftates of many men who have been 
 Jong in polfeflion of their refpe&ive Hold¬ 
 ings, (tho* fome more, fome lels, fome up¬ 
 on better, and fome upon worfer grounds.) 
 A principal Trade in Ireland , to find out 
 thefe Flaws and Defects, to procure Cora- 
 miffion for fuch Inquiries. And a Branch 
 of this Trade, is to give fuch feekers flat¬ 
 tering and delufive Informations to bring 
 on other Defigns ; and withal, prevail with 
 perfons converfant with the Higher Powers 
 to give Grants of thefe Difcoveries, and 
 thereupon, right or wrong, to vex the Pof. 
 feffors, at lead into fuch a Compofition as 
 may be of profit to the Profecutors. Where¬ 
 by it falls out, that the time of all the per¬ 
 fons exercifed pro & contra in thefe matters, 
 who do only take from one another like 
 Gameflers, (the Lawyers taking from both) 
 is loft, without advancing at all the pub- 
 lick Wealth. Now this is no Trade, but a 
 Calamity upon the Nation. 
 
 2* Whereas the Branches of the publick 
 Revenue being manifold, 2nd the Accounts 
 of the fame vaft £nd numerous, and the 
 Laws, with the Cafes and Accidents rela¬ 
 ting to the fame, intricate and new; but 
 
 chiefly 
 
of IRELAND. 87 
 
 chiefly the Officers employed about the Pre- 
 mifes, fuch as could make Friends for their 
 Places, whether Perfons of Skill, Experi¬ 
 ence and Truftinefs, or not} it hath come 
 to pafs, even in Ireland , in former times, 
 that Principal Officers of the Exchequer 
 have reprefented the State of the Publick 
 Treafury near 200,000/. differently from 
 each other: So as new men have been ad¬ 
 mitted to take the whole to Farm, who ex¬ 
 pected vaft Advantages, by mending and 
 clearing what others had marr’d # and con¬ 
 founded, tho’ they had ftill tneir Flaces 
 and Perquisites' notwithftanding : And in \ 
 this cafe the people thought fit to pay any 
 thing that was required, rather than to 
 pafs the Fire of this Purgatory, even tho’ 
 they need no burning. 
 
 This and other Practices of Farming, 
 taken with the whole Doctrin of Defalca¬ 
 tions, hath been a great Trade in Ireland , 
 but a Calamity on the People who have paid 
 great Wages to them that have made Faults, 
 but three times greater to thofe who would 
 but undertake to mend them, tho* indeed 
 they could not. 
 
 A Third great Trade and Calamity to 
 the People of Ireland , hath been the Gains 
 made by the afore-mention’d Difference, 
 Confufion, and badnefs of Coins, exorbi- 
 G 4 tant 
 
8 8 The Political Anatomy 
 
 tant Exchange, and Intereft of Mony, all 
 following from the Premifes.’ 
 
 A Fourth Calamity is implicating poor 
 Workmen, and trapanning them into 
 Crimes, Indictments, Bilhops-Courts, &c t 
 feigning and compounding of Trefpaffes, 
 not without making benefit by the ^Office 
 of Juflice of Peace. 
 
 A Fifth may be from the manner of ma¬ 
 king SherifFs, the execution of their Offices, 
 Accounts in the Exchequer, &c. 
 
 A Sixth, from railing Monies at the Af- 
 fizes, by Authority of the Grand Juries, 
 but railing too much, and in fpending or 
 not fpending what was to be raifed. 
 
 None of thefe Six Trades do add any 
 more to the Common-wealth than Game- 
 flers, and even fuch of them as play with 
 falfe Dice, do to the common Stock of the 
 ■whole number. 
 
 And in thefe Trades ’tis thought 2 ^ds 
 of thofe who inhabit the afore-mentioned 
 16,000 Houfes, do exercife themfelves, and 
 are the Locufts and Caterpillars of the 
 Common-wealth, as the Inhabitants of the 
 other 184,000 Cottages are the untill’d part 
 of the fame. Wherefore it remains to fee

 is building fine Houfes and Gardens, Or¬ 
 chards, Groves, Inns, Mills, Churches, 
 Bridges, High-ways, Caufeys , as alfo Fur¬ 
 niture for Houfes, Coaches, &c . In which 
 J kind I guefs the Improvement of Ireland 
 t has from the Year 1652, to Anno 1673, ad¬ 
 vanced from one to four, and I think to a 
 • better ftate than before 1641, that is, than 
 fi perhaps it ever was yet. 
 
 The Foreign Trade, if you will believe 
 M the Accounts of Cuftoms, Atuio 1657, and

 firft place defcribe the Religion, Diet, 
 of thefe, being the major part of the whole; 
 not wholly omitting fome of the other fpe- 
 pies alfo. 
 
 The Religion of thefe poorer Irijh is 
 called Roman Catholick , whofe Head is the 
 Pope of Rome, from whence they are pro¬ 
 perly enough call'd. Rapifts. This Reli¬ 
 gion is well known in the World, both by 
 the Books of their Divines, and the Wor- 
 fhip in their Churches: Wherefore I con¬ 
 fine myfelf to what I think peculiar to 
 thefe Irifn . And firffc, I obferve, that the 
 Priefls among them are of fmall Learning, 
 but are thought by their Flocks to have 
 much, becaufe they can fpeak Latin more 
 or lefs, and can often out-talk in Latin 
 
 thofe 
 
pi The Political Anatomy 
 
 thole who difpute with them. So as they 
 are thereby thought both more Orthodox 
 and able than their Antagonifts. 
 
 Their Reading in Latin is the Lives of 
 the Saints, and fabulous Stories of their 
 Country. But the fuperior Learning a- 
 mong them, is the Philofophy of the Schools, 
 and the Genealogies of their Anceftors. 
 Both which look like what St. Paul hath 
 condemned; 
 
 The Priefts are chofen for the moll part 
 out of old Irifb Gentry, and thereby in¬ 
 fluence the People, as well by their Interefl 
 as their Office. 
 
 Their Preaching fee ms rather Bugbear¬ 
 ing of their Flocks with dreadful Stories, 
 than perfuading them by Reafon, or the 
 Scriptures. They have an incredible Opi¬ 
 nion of the Pope and his San&ity, of the 
 happinefs of thofe who can obtain his Bief- 
 flng at the third or fourth hand. Only 
 fome few, who have lately been abroad, 
 have gotten fo far, as to talk of a difference 
 between the Interefl of the Court of Rome, 
 aqd the Doctrine of the Church. The 
 common Priefls have few of them been 
 out of Ireland • and thofe who have, were J 
 bred in Convents, or made Friars for the j 
 moft part, and have humble Opinions of 1 
 the Englijh and Proteftants, and of the inif- 1 
 
 chiefs 
 
of IRELAND. 95 
 
 chiefs of fetting up Manufa&ures, and in¬ 
 troducing of Trade* They alfo comfort 
 their Flocks, partly by Prophecies of their 
 Relloration to their ancient Eftates and Li¬ 
 berties, which the abler fort of them fetch 
 from what the Prophets of the Old Tefta- 
 i, ment have deliver’d by way of God’s Pro- 
 mife to reflore the Jews, and the Kingdom 
 i to Ifraeh They make little efleem of an 
 Oath upon a Proteftant Bible, but will more 
 • devoutly take up a Stone, and fwear upon 
 it, calling it a Book, than by the Paid Book 
 r of Books, the Bible. But of all Oaths, 
 they think themfelves at much liberty to 
 f take a Land-Oath, as they call it: Which 
 is an Oath to prove a forg’d Deed, a Pof- 
 t) fellion. Livery or Seifin, Payment of 
 j : Rents, &c. in order to recover for their 
 Countrymen the Lands which they had 
 j][ forfeited. They have a great opinion of 
 j Holy-Wells, Rocks, and Caves, which have 
 r been the reputed Cells and Receptacles of 
 men reputed Saints. They do not much 
 fear Death, if it be upon a Tree, unto which, 
 i or the Gallows, they will go upon their 
 ^ Knees toward it, from the place they can 
 , r firh fee it. 1 hey confefs nothing at their 
 r Executions, tho’ never fo guilty. In brief,

 much as by the Converfation of Prote- 
 lfants, they become afham’d of their ridi¬ 
 culous Practices, which are not de fide . As 
 for the Richer and better educated fort of 
 them, they are fuch Catholicks as are in 
 other places. The Poor, in adhering to 
 their Religion, which is rather a Cuftom 
 than a Dogma amongft them j They feem 
 rather to obey their Grandees, old Land¬ 
 lords, and the Heads of their Septes and 
 Clans, than God. For when thefe were 
 under Clouds, tranfported into Spain, and 
 tranfplanted into Connaught , and difabled 
 to ferve them as formerly, about the year 
 1656, when the Adventurers and Soldiers 
 appeared to be their Landlords and Patrons, 
 they were obferv’d to have been forward 
 enough to relax the ftifFnefs of their perti- 
 nacy to the Pope, and his Importions, 
 Lafily , Among the better fort of them, ma¬ 
 ny think lefs of the Pope’s Power in Tern, 
 porals, as they call it, than formerly} and 
 begin to fay, that the Supremacy, even in 
 Spirituals, lies rather in the Church diffu- 
 live, and in qualified General Councils, than 
 in the Pope alone, or than in the Pope and 
 his Cardinals, or other Juntlo .

 land in Do&rin, only they differ in Difci- 
 pline thus, viz. 
 
 The Legal Proteftants hold the Power 
 of the Church to be in the King, and 
 that Bifliops and Arch-bifhops, with their 
 j Clerks, are the beft way of adjufting that 
 : Power under him. The Presbyterians 
 
 • would have the fame thing done, and per- 
 haps more, by ClafTes of Presbyters Na¬ 
 tional and Provincial. The Independents 
 would have all Chriftian Congregations 
 
 1 independent from each other. The Ana- 
 
 • baptijls are independent in Difcipline, and 
 }; differ from all thofe afore-mention’d in the 
 It Baptifm of Infants, and in the inward and 
 oi fpiritual Signification of that Ordinance. 
 v The Quakers falute not by uncovering the 
 c Head, fpeak to one another in the fe^ 
 io cond Perfon, and Angular Numberj as for 
 
 Magiftracy and Arms, they feem to hold 
 f with the Anabaptifts of Germany and Hol¬ 
 land } they prefend to a poffibility of Per- 
 c fedlion, like the Papifts^ as for other Te- 
 i: nents, ’tis hard to fix them, or to under- 
 t; Hand what things they mean by their 
 e: Words.

 that near thrice as much Wooll is fpent in 
 Ireland as exported j whereas others have 
 thought quite contrary, that is, that the 
 exported Wooll is triple in quantity to 
 what is fpent at home. 
 
 As for the Manners of the Irijh , I de¬ 
 duce them from their original Conftitu- 
 tions of Body, and from the Air } next 
 from their ordinary Food } next from their 
 Condition of Effate and Liberty, and from 
 the Influence of their Governors and 
 Teachers j and laflly, from their ancient 
 Cuftoms, which affect as well their Con* 
 fciences as their Nature. For their Shape, 
 Stature, Colour, and Complexion, I fee 
 nothing in them inferior to any other Peo¬ 
 ple, nor any enormous predominancy of 
 any humour. 
 
 Their Lazing feems to me to proceed 
 rather from want of Imployme.nt and En* 
 couragement to work, than from the na¬ 
 tural abundance of Flegm in their Bowels 
 and Bloody for what need they to work,

 ry where gather Cockles, Oyfters, Mufcles, 
 Crabs, &c, with Boats, Nets, Angles, or the 
 Art of Filhing and can build an Houfe in 
 three days > And why (hould they defire to 
 fare better, tho’ with more Labour, when 
 they are taught, that this way of living is 
 more like the Patriarchs of old, and the 
 Saints of later times, by whofe Prayers 
 and Merits they are to be reliev’d, and 
 whofe Examples they are therefore to foi- 
 i. low? And why (hould they breed more 
 t Cartel, fince ’tis Penal to import them into 
 it England ? Why fhould they r'aife more 
 if Commodities, fince there are not Merchants 
 it fufficiently Stock’d to take them of them,

 They are accufed alfo of much Treache¬ 
 ry, Falfenefs, and Thievery j none of all

 which, I conceive, is natural to them •, for 
 as to Treachery, they are made believe, 
 that they all fhall flourilh again, after fome 
 time ^ wherefore they will not really fub- 
 mit to thofe whom they hope to have their 
 Servants ^ nor will they declare fo much, 
 but fay the contrary, for their prefent eafe, 
 which is all the Treachery 1 have obfer- 
 ved for they have in their Hearts, not on¬ 
 ly a grudging to fee their old Properties 
 enjoyed by Foreigners, but a perfuafion 
 they lhall be fhortly reftor’d. As for 
 Thievery, it is aftixt to all thin-peopled 
 Countries, fuch as Ireland is, where there 
 cannot be many Eyes to prevent fuch 
 Crimes \ and where what is ftolen, is ea- 
 fily hidden and eaten, and where ’tis eafy 
 to burn the Houfe, or violate the Perfons 
 of thofe who profecute thefe Crimes, and 
 where thin-peopled Countries are govern’d 
 by the Laws that were made and firfl fit¬ 
 ted to thick-peopled Countries •, and where 
 matter of fmall moment and value mufl be 
 try’d with all the formalities which belong 
 to the higheft Canfes. In this cafe there 
 muft be thieving, where there is neither 
 encouragement, nor method, nor means 
 for Labouring, nor Provifion for Impo¬ 
 tents.

 As for the Intereft of thefe poorer 
 it is manifeftly to be tranfmuted into Eng- 
 UJb , fo to reform and qualify their lloufing, 
 as that Englijh Women may be content to 
 be their Wives, to decline their Language# 
 which continues a fenfible diftinction, be¬ 
 ing not now neceilary *, which makes thofe 
 who do not underhand it, fufpect, that 
 what is fpoken in it, is to their prejudice^ 
 It is their Interelf to deal with the EngliJJj , 
 for Leafes, for Time, and upon clear 
 Conditions, which being perform’d they 
 are abfolute Freemen, rather than to Hand 
 always liable to the humour and caprice of 
 their Landlords, and to have every thing 
 taken from them, which he pleafes to fan¬ 
 cy. It is their Intereft, that he is well- 
 pleafed with their Obedience to them* 
 when they fee and know upon whofe Care 
 and Conduct their well - being depends i 
 who have Power over theif Lands and 
 Eftates. Then, to believe a Man at Rome 
 has Power in all thefe laft mentioned Par¬ 
 ticulars in this World, and can make them 
 eternally happy or miferable hereafter, ’tis 
 their Intereft to joyn with them, and fol¬ 
 low their Example, who have brought 
 Arts, Civility, and Freedom into their

 Several MifceUany Remarks and Intimations 
 concerning Ireland, and the feveral Mat¬ 
 ters aforementioned. 
 
 W ithout recourfe to the Authority of 
 Story, but rather diligently ob- 
 ferving the Law and Courfe of Nature, I 
 conje&ure, that whatever is fabled of the 
 Phoenicians , Scythians , Bifcayers^&c. their 
 firfl Inhabiting of Ireland j that the places 
 near Carrickfergus were firfl Peopled, and 
 that with thofe, who came from the parts 
 of Scotland oppofite thereunto j For that 
 Ireland was planted by fome body in C#fars 
 time, is moil certain ^ That the Art of 
 Navigation was not before Cafar s time fo 
 well underflood and pra&js’d, as to bring 
 Men from any other part of the World 
 thither, fave from Great-Britain ^ That 
 from St. Davids-head in South-Wales , and 
 from Holy-head in North-Wales , Ireland is 
 not clearly at any time difcern’d, nor often 
 at all} That the Inhabitants of thofe two 
 Britifli Head-lands had neither Boats fit to 
 pafs that Sea, is mofl probable But that 
 Carrickfergus may be always feen from 
 H 3 Scotland , 
 
I oi The Political Anatomy 
 
 Scotland , is well known j and that a fmall 
 Boat may Row over in three or four Hours, 
 is experienc’d j That the Language of 
 thofe Parts differ very little ^ That the 
 Country about Carrickfergus is far better 
 than that of Scotland oppoftte j That the 
 chief Bifhops Seat of Ireland , and probably 
 the firff, is near thofe Parts, are all noto¬ 
 rious Truths. From all which ’tis proba¬ 
 ble, that Ireland was firft Peopled from 
 Scotland. 
 
 It hath been much obferved, that the 
 Lieutenants and Chancellors of Ireland 
 have often been at variance ^ the reafop 
 whereof feems to be theiy Powers were top 
 near an Equilibrium • for the Lieutenant 
 Commands an Army perhaps of 3000, and 
 the Chancellor makes 900 juifices of Peace, 
 who make 2500 Conftables, which are the 
 Civil Sword, who Ad in times of Peace, 
 and every where, and all matters j where¬ 
 as the Army ads only upon rare Occalions, 
 and are more Mercenary Men. So as the 
 Civil Sword feems of far more extent and 
 effed than the Military Sword. 
 
 The Lieutenant difpofes perhaps of four 
 or five hundred Places and Jmployments; 
 but the Chancellor, the faid nine hundred 
 Juffices of Peace, and feveral others. The 
 Lieutenant can hurt very few Perfons, who 
 5 ' ^ • do 
 
of IRELAND; i 
 
 do not depend upon the favour of Imploy- 
 mentsj but the Chancellor can afFed all 
 Men of Eftates and Dealing in the World, 
 by the Power of his Court, and by the 
 Harmony of his own Will with the King’s 
 Confcience. 
 
 The Lieutenant is for the moft part a 
 Stranger to Irelaad^ but the Chancellor fel- 
 dom fuch, but a Perfon of great Family 
 and Acquaintance. Moreover, all the 
 Lieutenants, Deputies, and Lords Juftices, 
 that have been thefe 150 Years, have not, 
 one with another, continued two Fears in 
 the Office • but the Chancellors have much 
 more, and are feldom remov’d but by 
 Death, and General Revolutions. The 
 Chancellor has ordinarily fome other Dig¬ 
 nity and Office annex’d, for they be of¬ 
 ten Eminent Prelates and Church-men} 
 but the Lieutenant is confin’d to Tempo¬ 
 rals. The Chancellor is Speaker in Par¬ 
 liament, and by keeping the Seal, can 
 check the Lieutenant in many cafes. The 
 Chancellors are bred to Eloquence and 
 Arguing • the breeding of a Lieutenant is 
 cafual. 
 
 Men that bring great Eflates into Ire¬ 
 land , do not encreafe them proportionably 
 with them who come over with nothing. 
 Not to quote the Examples hereof on both 
 FI 4 fides, 
 
104 The 1 Political Anatomy 
 
 fides, the reafon feems not to be very ab- 
 flrufe, viz. • 
 
 The Language of Ireland is like that of 
 the North of Scotland , in many things like 
 the Welch and Manques j but in Ireland the 
 Fingallians fpeak neither Englijh , Irifi 0 nor 
 Welch \ and the People about Wexford[ 
 tho’ they agree in a Language differing from 
 Englijh , Welch , and Irifi , yet ’tis not the 
 fame with that of the Fingallians near 'Dub¬ 
 lin. Both thefe forts of People are honeft 
 and laborious Members of the Kingdom. 
 
 The Irifi Language, and the Welch , as 
 alfo all Languages that have not been the 
 Languages of flourifhing Empires, where¬ 
 in were many Things, many Notions and 
 Fancies, both Poetical and Phiiofophical, 
 hath but few words j and all the names of 
 Artificial things brought into ufe, (ince the 
 Empire of thefe Linguifts ceafed, are ex- 
 preffed in the language of their Conquerors, 
 by altering the Termination and Accents 
 only. 
 
 Ireland is now divided into Provinces, 
 Counties, Baronies, Parilhes, and Farm¬ 
 lands, and thofe, fo as that they may be, 
 and have been Geometrically delineated; 
 but formerly it was not fo, but the Coun¬ 
 try was called by the names of the Lords 
 who governed the People. For as a Terri-

 tory bounded by Bogs, is greater or lelTer 
 as the Bog is more dry and paflible, or o- 
 therwife: So the Country of a Grandee or 
 Tierne in Ireland , became greater or lelTer 
 as his Forces waxed or weaned ^ for where 
 was a large Caftle and Garrifon, there the 
 Jurifdi&ion was alfo large. 
 
 And when thefe Grandees came to make 
 peace, and fettle the Bounds with one ano¬ 
 ther, the limits of their Land-agreements 
 were no lines Geometrically drawn • but 
 if the Rain fell one way, then the Land 
 whereon it fell, did belong to A, if the o-

 For fometimes lands were divided by what 
 certain Societies of men held, which I con- 
 5 ceive were Town-lands or Ty things, 
 i Sometimes by Plow-lands, viz. fuch a 
 parcel of Lands as contained enough of

 i* HPHE whole Territory of Ireland 
 I confifls of about 12 Millions of 
 Acres (Englifl Meafure) of Arable, Mea- 
 ^ dow, and good Paflure Land ^ with about 
 '/ two Millions of Rocky, Boggy, and Scrub-

 ‘ f|,: abfolute Boggs, Loughs, Rocks, Sands, 
 w Strands, Rivers and High-Ways, &c. Of 
 4 all which feveral Lands, the yearly Rent 
 • (comprehending their Majefties Quit-Rents, 
 
 1 Tythes and Tenants Improvements) is fup- 
 pofed to be about 900,000 /. and worth to 
 to' be purchafed at nine Millions. 
 t 2. The value of all the Houfing in Ire - 
 ” land, which have one or more Chimneys 
 in them, (excluding all Cabbins which 
 have none) is fuppofed to be two Millions 
 tbl and a half. 
 
/j, The (political Anatomy 
 
 3. The Cattel and Live Stock, Three 
 Millions. 
 
 4. Corn, Furniture, Merchandize, Ship¬ 
 ping, &c. about One Million. 
 
 5. The Coined and Currant Mony, now 
 running in Trade, is between 300, and 
 3$o,cco /. or the 50th part of the value of 
 the whole Kingdom, which we fuppofe to 
 be about 16 Millions. 
 
 6. The number of People in Ireland is 
 about iioo,cco, viz. Three Hundred 
 Thoufand English , Scotch , and Welch Pro- 
 tejlajits , and 80c,coo Papijls j whereof one 
 4*th are Children unfit for Labour, and a- 
 bout 75,cco of the Remainder are, by rea- 
 fon of their Quality and Eflates, above the 
 neceflity of Corporal Labour j fo as there 
 remains 750,000 Labouring Men and AVo, 
 men, 500,000 whereof do perform the pre- 
 fent Work of the Nation. 
 
 7. The faid 1100,000 People do live in 
 about 200,000 Families or Houfes, where- 1 
 of there are but about 16,000 which have 1 
 more than one Chimny in each and about 
 24,000 which have but one:, all the other t 
 Houfes, being 16c,000, are wretched nafly 31 
 Cabbins, without Chimny, Window or ^ 
 Door-fhut, even worfe than thofe of the 31 
 Savage Americans, and wholly unfit for the ® 
 making Merchantable Butter, Cheefe, or /r 
 
 the 
 
of IRELAND. 115 
 
 the Manufactures of Woollen, Linnen or 
 Leather. 
 
 8. The Houfes within the City and Li¬ 
 berties of Dublin , are under 5,000, viz* 
 in the City 1150. And the Ale-houfes 
 within the fame about 1200. And itfeems, 
 
 : that in other Corporations and Country 
 : Towns, the proportion of Ale-houfes is yet 
 greater than in Dublin , viz . about one 3d 
 of the whole. 
 
 9. The Counties, Baronies and Parifhes 
 ; of Ireland , are now become marvelloufly 
 [ unequal, fo as fome are twenty times as big 
 . as others, the County of Cork feeming in 
 ,, refped of People and Parifhes to be one 
 e , 8th of the whole Kingdom, and other 
 | 1( Counties not being above the 20th part of 
 \\ the County of Cork \ it hath been found 
 er very difficult to get fit perfons for Sheriffs 
 
 1 and Juries j and the often holding of Af- 
 ; v . fizes and Quarter-Sefiions in the faid fmal- 
 l : ler Counties, hath been found an unnecef- 
 fary burden upon them. 
 
 I 10. There are now in Ireland 32 Coun- 
 ; ties, 252 Baronies, and 2278 Pariihes^ fo 
 . ‘ as the number of Sheriffs, and Sub-Sheriffs, 
 Sheriff-Bailiffs, High and Petty-Conftables, 
 
 IU ; are about three thoufand Perfons, whereof 
 ? not above one 10th are Englijh or Prote- 
 ? fiants. So as the remainder (being about 
 I 2 2700) 
 
1 6 T be Political Anatomy 
 
 2700) are Irifh Papijis , and are the Civ/ 
 Militia of this Kingdom, and have the ex¬ 
 ecuting of all Decrees of Courts, and. of 
 juftices of the Peaces Warrants. 
 
 11. This Civil Militia, and the reft of 
 the Irijb Papijis being about 8co,cco, are 
 influenced and guided by about ^ocoPriells 
 and Fryars, and they governed by their 
 Bifliops and Superiors, who are for the 
 moft parr, of the old Irifh Gentry, men of 
 Foreign Education, and who depend upon 
 Foreign Princes and Prelates, for Benefices 
 and Preferments. 
 
 12. The Irifh Papijis (befides Sundays 
 and the 29 Holidays appointed by the Law) 
 do one place with another, obferve about 
 24 days more in the year, in which they 
 do no corporal Labour, fo as they have 
 but about 2 66 Working-days j whereas 
 Proteftants not ftrictly obferving all the 
 Legal Bolydays, by a total forbearing of 
 Labour, have in effect 300 Working-days 
 in the year, that is, 34 days more than the 
 Papifts, or at leaft five of fix days in each, 
 or one 10th part of the whole year. 
 
 13. The Expence of the whole People 
 of Ireland is about four Millions per Ann. 
 the 50th part whereof being 80,coo /. and 
 the Quarter of Annual Houfe-Rent being 
 about 60,000/* together with 450,000/. ; 
 
 more, 
 
of IRELAND- i \ 7 
 
 more, being the value of half a years Rent, 
 Tythes and Quit-Rent, do make 590,000/. 
 as that fum of Mony which will com-. 
 
 | pleatly drive the Trade of this King¬ 
 dom. 
 
 14. The value of the Commodities ex- 
 t - ported out of Ireland , and the Freight of 
 . the Shipping imployed in the Trade of this 
 >E Nation, together with the filhing of Her - 
 
 rings, is about Five Hundred Thoufand 
 e | Pound per Annum . 
 
 15. The value of the Eftates in Ireland 
 of fuch perfons as do ufually live in Eng- 
 landj theIntereffof Debts of 7 TeTand, due" 
 
 ^ and payable to England ^ the pay of the 
 Forces of Ireland now in England j the 
 Expence and Penfiohs of Agents and Sol- 
 ' licitors commonly redding in England about 
 I Irijh Affairs • ■ the Expence of Englijh and: 
 Irifi Youth now upon their . Education be- 
 yond the Seas j and laftly, the fuppofed 
 ’ Profit of the two great Farms now on foot, 
 ir ; do altogether make up near. 200,000 /. per 
 ■ Ann . as a Debt payable to England out of 
 , Ireland . 
 
 16 The value of the CatteL, viz. live 
 Oxen and Sheep, carried out of Ireland into 
 ' England , was never more than 140,000 /. 
 
 : per Annum * the Fraight, Hides, Tallow, 
 
 : and Wooll of the faid live Cattel, were worth 
 I 3 about 
 
113 The Political Anatomy 
 
 about 6o,cco/. of the faid 140,000 /. And 
 the value of .the Goods imported out of 
 'England, into Ireland (when the Cattel- 
 Trade was free) was between Treble and 
 Quadruple, to the neat value of the Ox, 
 and Sheeps Flefti tranfported from hence 
 into j England, 
 
 17. The Cuftoms of Exported and Im¬ 
 ported Goods, between England and Ire . 
 land^ abftra&ed from the Excife thereof, 
 was in the freeft Trade about 32,000!, 
 per Annum. 
 
 Chap. XV. 
 
 Inferences from the Premijfes. 
 
 1. T)Y comparing the Extent of theTer- 
 JD ritory with the number of People, 
 it appears that Ireland is much under- 
 peopled • forafmuch as there are above 10 
 Acres of good Land to every Head in Ire - 
 land - whereas in Engl arid and France there 
 are but four, and in Holland fcarce one. 
 
 2. That if there be 250,000 fpare Hands 
 capable of Labour, who can earn 4 or 5 /. 
 per Ann. one with another, it follows that 
 the People of Ireland , well employed, may 
 earn one Million per Ann. more than they 
 
 do 
 
(/IRELAND. u 9 
 
 do now, which is more than the years Rent 
 of the whole Country. 
 
 3. If an Houfe with Stone-Walls, and a 
 Chimny well covered, and half an Acre 
 of Land well ditch’d about, may be made 
 for 4 or 5 /. or thereabouts j then two gds 
 of the fpare hands of Ireland can in one 
 years time build and fit up 160,000 fuch 
 Houfes and Gardens, inftead of the like 
 number of the wretched Cabbins above- 
 mentioned: And that in a time when a 
 Foreign Trade is moft dead* and obftru&ed, 
 and when Mony is moft fcarce in the 
 Land. 
 
 4. The other third part of the faid fpare 
 hands within the fame year ( befides the 
 making of Bridges, Harbors, Rivers, High¬ 
 ways, &c . more fit for Trade j are able to 
 plant as many Fruit and Timber-Trees, 
 and alfo Quick-fet Hedges as, being grown 
 up, would diftinguifh the Bounds of Lands, 
 beautify the Country, fhade and fhelter 
 Cattel, furnifh Wood, Fuel, Timber and 
 Fruit, in a better manner than ever was 
 yet known in Ireland or England « And 
 all this in a time when Trade is dead, and 
 Mony moft fcarce. 
 
 5. If the Gardens belonging to the Cab- 
 bins above-mentioned, be planted with 
 Hemp and Flax, according to the prefent 
 
 14 Statute, 
 
I 20 The Political Anatomy 
 
 Statute, there would grow 120,000/. worth 
 of the (aid Commodities, the Manufactures 
 whereof, as alfo of the Wooll and Hides 
 now exported, would by the labour of the 
 fpare hands above-mentioned, amount to 
 above One Million fey Annum more than 
 at prefent. 
 
 6 . The multitude and proportion of Ale- 
 houfes above-mention’d, is a fign of want 
 of Employment in thofe that buy, no left 
 than thofe that fell the Drink. 
 
 7. There being but 800,cco Papifts in 
 Ireland , and little above 2oco Priells- it is 
 manifeft *that 500 Priefts may, in a com¬ 
 petent manner. Officiate for the faid num¬ 
 ber of People and Parishes. And that two 
 Popifh Biffiops (if any at all be neceffiary) 
 may as well govern the faid 500 Frieds, 
 and TwoThoufand Pariffies, as the 26 Bi- 
 flipps of England do govern near Ten Thou¬ 
 sand Parifhes, 
 
 8. If the Proteflants, according to the 
 prefent pra&ice and underdanding of the 
 Law, do wOrk one tenth part of the lear 
 more than the Papids; And that there be 
 750,coo working People in Ireland , where¬ 
 of about 6 go,coo are Fapifts ^ it follows 
 that the Popifh Religion takes off 60,000 
 workers, which, at about 4 /. per Annum 
 each, is about 250,000 /. per Annum of it 
 
of IRELAND. mi 
 
 felf, befides the Maintenance of 2500 fu- 
 perfluous Churchmen, which at 20/. per 
 Annum each, comes to 50,000/. per Annum 
 more. 
 
 9. The SherifFs of Ireland at ico /. per 
 Annum , the High ConftableS at 20 /. 
 
 Annum , and the Petty Conftables at 10/. 
 per Annum each, being all Englijh Prote- 
 ftants, (with fome other incident Charges 
 !■ for the Adminiftration of Juftice) may be 
 failarated and defrayed for 30,000 /. per 
 Annum , confident with his Majefty’s pre- 
 ; fent Revenue, Forces, &c . which faid Sal- 
 : laries may alfo be lelfen’d, by uniting fome 
 i of the fmaller Counties, Baronies and Pa- 
 :? rifhes, according to the proportion of Peo- 
 :] pie inhabiting 'within them, 
 if 10. If there be not 350,000 /. Coined 
 | Mony in Ireland ^ and if 5 90,000 /. ( or 
 v near double what there now is) be requi- 
 fite to drive the Trade thereof j then it 
 r follows, that there is not enough in Ireland 
 ■ to drive the Trade of the Nation. 
 
 [= 11. If the Lands of Ireland and Houfing 
 
 £ in Corporations, be worth above 10 Mil- 
 ; lions to be now fold, (and if lefs than one 
 Million of Stock will drive all the Trade 
 that Ireland is capable of) reckoning but 
 g , two returns per Annum } it is certain that 
 f the leher part of the faid Ten Millions 
 
 worth 
 
1 1i The ^Political Anatomy 
 
 worth of real Eftate, being well contrived 
 into a Bank of Credit, will, with the Cafh 
 yet remaining, abundantly anfwer all the 
 Ends of Domeftick Improvements and Fo¬ 
 reign Trafiick whatfoever. 
 
 12. If the whole Subltance of Ireland 
 be worth 16 Millions, as abovefaid: If the 
 Cuftoms between England and Ireland , 
 were never worth above 32,000 /. per An¬ 
 num : If the Titles of Eftates in Ireland 
 be more hazardous and expen five, for that 
 England and Ireland be not under one Le- 
 giflative Power: If Ireland till now hath 
 been a continual Charge to England .♦ If 
 the reducing the late Rebellion did cod 
 England three times more in Men and Mo- 
 ny, than the Subftance of the whole Coun- 
 "try, when reduced, is worth : If it be juft, 
 that men of Englijh Birth and Eftates, 
 living in Ireland , Ihould be reprefented in 
 the Legiflative Power ^ and that the Irijl 1 
 Ihould not be judged by thofe who, they 
 pretend, do ufurp their Eftates^ it then 
 feems juft and convenient, that both King- t 
 doms fhould be united, and governed by i 
 one Legiflative Power. Nor is it hard to n 
 fhew how this may be made pradicable, r 
 nor to fatisfy, repair, or lilence thofe who U 
 are interefted or affefted to the contrary. f 
 
 13. In 
 
of IRELAND. 
 
 13. In the mean time, it is wonderful 
 that men born in England , who have Lands 
 granted to them by the King, for Service 
 done in Ireland to the Crown of England ,, 
 when they have occafion to refide or nego¬ 
 tiate in England , Ihould by their Country¬ 
 men, Kindred and Friends there, be de¬ 
 barred to bring with them out of Ireland 
 Food whereupon to Jive, nor fuffer’d to 
 carry mony out of Ireland , nor to bring 
 fuch Commodities as they fetch from Ame¬ 
 rica dire&ly Iiome, but round about by 
 England , with extream hazard and lofs, 
 and be forced to trade only with Strangers, 
 
 i and become unacquainted with their own 
 I Country ^ efpecially when England gaineth 
 it more than it lofeth by a free Commerce * 
 as exporting hither three times as much as 
 it receiveth from hence : Infomuch as 95 /. 
 in England , was worth about 100/. of the 
 like Mony in Ireland , in the freed: time of 
 Trade. 
 
 14. It is conceived that about one 3d of 
 the imported Manufactures might be made 
 in Ireland , and one 3d of the remainder 
 might be more conveniently had from fo¬ 
 reign parts, than out of England\ and con- 
 fequently that it is fcarce necedary at all 
 for Ireland to receive any Gobds of Eng¬ 
 land, and not convenient to receive above 
 
 one

 The Application of the Premises, in order to 
 remedy the Defeffs and Impediment$ of 
 the Trade of Ireland. 
 
 1. Forafmuch as the Confideration of 
 railing Mony, hath already, and fo lately 
 been before your Lordlhips} therefore 
 without giving this Board any further trou¬ 
 ble concerning the fame, we humbly offer, 
 in order to the regulation of the feverai 
 fpecies thereof. That whereas weighty 
 Plate pieces, together with Ducatoon 3 , 
 making about three quarters of the Mony 
 now currant in Ireland\ do already pafs at 
 proportionable Ratesj and for that all 
 other fpecies of Silver Mony, are neither 
 rated proportionably to the faid weighty 
 pieces, nor to one another } that Whole, 
 Half and Quarter Cobbs of Sterling Silver 
 (if light) may pafs at 5 s, 7 d, per Ounce; 
 but that the other Species of coarfer Silver, 
 as the Femes , &c. may pafs as Commodi¬ 
 ty!, or at 5 s. per Ounce, until there fhall 
 be conveniency for new coining thereof 
 into fmaller Mony. 
 
 2. That 
 
of IRELAND. 1 
 
 2. That forthwith Application may be 
 made unto England ,, to reftore the Trade 
 from the Plantations, and between the two 
 Kingdoms (and particularly that of Cattel) 
 as heretofore ^ and in the mean time to dif- 
 cover and hinder, by all means poflible, the 
 carrying of Bullion out of Ireland into Eng¬ 
 land j to the end that thofe in England who 
 are to receive Monies from hence, may be 
 neceflitated to be very earned in the faid 
 Negotiation. 
 
 3. That Endeavours be ufed in England , 
 for the Union of the Kingdoms under one 
 Legiflative Power, proportionably, as was 
 heretofore done in the cafe of Wales . 
 
 4. For reducing Jntereft from Ten to 
 Five or Six per Cent . for difpofing monied 
 men to be rather Merchants than Ufurers, 
 rather to trade than purchafe, and to pre¬ 
 vent the bad and uncertain payments, 
 which Gentlemen are forced to make unto 
 Tradefmen, whole Stock and Credit is 
 thereby foon buried in Debts, not to be re¬ 
 ceived without long and expenfive Suits, 
 and that a Bank of Land be forthwith con¬ 
 trived and countenanced. 
 
 5. That the Ad of State which miti¬ 
 gates and compounds for the Cuftoms of 
 fome Foreign Goods, purpofely made high 
 to hinder their Importation, and to encou¬ 
 rage 
 
1 26 The Political Anatomy 
 
 rage the Manufacture of them here, be 
 taken into confideration ( at lead before it 
 be renewed ). 
 
 6. That the Lord Lieutenant and Coun¬ 
 cil, as alfo the Nobility, Courts of Juffice 
 and Officers of the Army, and other Gen- 
 tiemen in and about Dublin , may by their 
 engagement and example, difcountenance 
 the ufe of fome certain Foreign Commodi¬ 
 ties, to be pitch’d upon by your Lordffiips; 
 And that Gentlemen and Freeholders in 
 the Country, at their Affizes, and other 
 Country meetings, and that the Inhabi¬ 
 tants of all Corporations, who live in Houles 
 of above two Chimnys in each, may after¬ 
 wards do the fame. 
 
 7. That there be a Corporation for the 
 Navigation of this Kingdom, and that 
 other Societies of men may be inftituted, 
 who ffiall undertake and give fecurity to 
 carry on the feveral Trades and Manufa¬ 
 ctures of Ireland ^ and to fee that all Goods 
 Exported to Foreign Markets, may be 
 faithfully wrought and packt: Which So* 
 cieties may dired themfelves, by the many 
 feveral propofals and reports formerly, and 
 of late made by the Council of Trade, and 
 which they are now again ready to enlarge 
 and accommodate to the faid feveral propo- 
 fuls Yefpedively, and more particularly to 
 
*7 
 
 of IRELAND. 
 
 the Manufactures of Woollen, Linnen, and 
 Leather. 
 
 8. That the Corporations of Ireland ’ 
 
 ■ may be obliged to engage no Manufactures, 
 ; but according to their primitive Inflructi- 
 u ons * which was to carry on fuch great 
 1 Works, as exceeded the ftrength of (ingle 
 Perfonsj and particularly that they may 
 ? caufe fome fuch like proportions of Yarn, 
 1 Linnen and Woollen, as alfo of Worded, to 
 I: be fpun, as Mr. Hawkins hath propounded. 
 
 J 9. That the Patents which hinder the 
 j- working of Mines may be confider’d. 
 
 * c 10. That the Juftices of Peace may be 
 ® admonifhed to protect the Induftrious, and 
 not fuffer their Labors to be interrupted 
 by vexatious and frivolous Indictments. 
 
 “ 11. That the Inhabitants of the wretched 
 
 Cabbins in Ireland , may be encouraged to 
 T reform them, by remitting the Penalty of 
 m Nine-pence per Sunday, payable by the 
 G® Statute ^ and likewife to make Gardens, as 
 ay the Statute for Hemp and Flax requires. 
 And that other the wholefome Laws againft 
 Idlers, Vagabonds, &c . may be applied to 
 ty. 2 the prevention of Beggary and Thievery: 
 If, a Whereunto the orderly difpofing of the 
 edIje faid Cabbins into Townlhips would alfo 
 pro? conduce.

 12, That 
 
128 The ^Political Ariatomy 
 
 12. Thrt the People be diffuaded from 
 the Obfervation of fuperduous Holidays, 
 
 13. That the exorbitant Number of 
 Popifh Priefts and Fryars, may be reduced

 of Ale-houfes. 
 
 14. That the Con flab le, Sheriff, and

 From all which , and from the Settlement

 Propofitions to be confider’d 
 of by his Majefty, concern¬ 
 ing the governing of Ire¬ 
 land. 
 
 CHARLES R. 
 
 I. 'T 1 HAT hk Majefly may declare His 
 exprefs Pleafure, that no Iridi Suit* 
 by way of Reward , be moved for by any 
 of hk Servants , or others, before the Or¬ 
 dinary Revenue there become able to fujlain 
 the necejjary Charge of that Crown , and 
 the Debts thereof be fully cleared. 
 
 This is raoft reafonable, it (landing with 
 no found Rule of Judgment, to exercife 
 the Ads of Bounty in a Place which doth 
 not difcharge it jfelf, and will prove the 
 readied and mod expedient way to recover 
 his Majedy’s Affairs thereby, thus carrying 
 
144. The Political Anatotny, 
 
 the Revenues in their natural Channel 5 and 
 indeed this courfe being conftantly purfifd, 
 will much encreafe the annual profits a- 
 bove what they now are, and intirely draw 
 the dependance of the inferiors from 
 / the great Lords upon his Majefty, and fo 
 the intereft and affurance the Crown fhali 
 have in the Natives thereof, be of no lefs 
 confequence and advantage than the very 
 profits. 
 
 2 . That there be an exprefs Caveat entred 
 with the Secretary , Signet , Prwy Seal 
 and Great Seal here , That no Grants of 
 what nature foever , concerning Ireland, 
 be fuffered to pa/s , till the Lord Lieutenant 
 be made acquainted , and it firft pafr the 
 feal of that Kingdom , according to the nfu- 
 al manner. 
 
 This will be of great intelligence and 
 fafety to his Majefty $ for on the one fide 
 he will clearly fee into the true inward va¬ 
 lue, of things which formerly, albeit of ve¬ 
 ry great worth, have from fo great a dift- 
 ance flipt away here, as little underftood 
 by the Crown ; as is acknowledged by 
 thofe that obtain them 5 who generally, 
 in thefe caufes, facrifice rather to their own 
 Wit, than the Goodnefs and Bounty of 
 Kings. And on the other fide, nothing 
 
 can 
 
 
of Ire land. i. 
 
 tan pafsto the difadvantageof the Crown * 
 and proper Minifters, inftru&ed with thefe 
 Affairs, may be immediately faulted and 
 juftly called to a fevere Account for their 
 Negligence and Unfaithfulnefs therein $ 
 which will give them good reafon to look 
 more narrowly into his Majefties Rights, 
 and their own Duties. 
 
 That his Majefty Signify his Royal Vie a- 
 fure , that ffecial Care be taken hereafter , 
 that fufftcient and credible Perfons be cho - 
 fen to fapply fitch Bifhopricks as {ball be void, 
 dr admitted of his Privy Councel , or ft as 
 fudges, and ferve of his learned Councel 
 * there 5 that he will vouchfafe to hear the 
 advice of his Lieutenant before he refolveof 
 any in thefe Cafes , that the Lieutenant be 
 commanded to inform his Majefty truly and 
 impartially , of every man s particular Dili¬ 
 gence, and Care in his Service there , to the 
 end his Majefty may truly and gracioufly 
 reward the well-deferving , by calling them 
 ii home to better preferment here . 
 
 This will advantage the fervice $ it being 
 1 altogether impofiible for the Lieutenant, 
 be he never fo induftrious and able, to ad- # 
 of minifter the publick Juftice of fo great a 
 Kingdom, without the round afiiftance of 
 life other able and well-affe&ed Minifters.

 This will encourage the beft Men to fpend 
 their ftronger Years there, when they fhall 
 fee their elder age recompenfed with eafe 
 and profit in their own native Soyl $ and 
 content and fettle the Natives, when 
 they find themfelves cared for, and putin 
 the Hands of difcreet and good Men to go¬ 
 vern them. 
 
 4. That no particular Complaints of Injujlice 
 or Opprejfion be admitted here againfi any , 
 nnlefs it appear , That the Party made firft 
 his Addrefs unto the Lieutenant . 
 
 This is but Juftice to the Lieutenant, who 
 mud: needs in fame meafurebe a delinquent, 
 if the complaint be true 5 for that he ought 
 as in chief, univerfally to take care that his 
 Majefties Juftice be truly and fully admini- 
 ftred 5 and therefore good Reafon that his 
 Judgment fliould be informed, and his In¬ 
 tegrity firft ttyed, before either be impeach¬ 
 ed 5 Nay, it is but Juftice to the Govern¬ 
 ment it felf, which would be exceedingly , 
 fcandalized through the liberty of Com- . 
 plaints,and the Minifters therein extreamly | 
 difcouraged upon any petty matter to be f 
 drawn to anfwer here, when as the thing it ■

 where the Complaint appeareth formally 
 grounded, that is, where due Application 
 hath been made to the Lieutenant, without 
 any help or relief to the Party, as may be 
 pretended 5 let it in the Name of God be 
 throughly examined, and feverely punifh- 
 ed, wherefoever the fault prove to be 5 ef- 
 pecially if it be found to be corrupt or ma¬ 
 licious : For thus, fhall not his Majefty on- 
 { ly magnify his own Juftice, but either pu- 
 ! niflh an unfaithful Minifter or a clamourous 
 r Complainer^ and fo his Servfce be better’d 
 by either Example. 
 
 1 5. That no Confirmation of any Reverfion of 
 
 ;r Offi ce within that Kingdom he had , or any 
 $ new Grant of Reverfion hereafter do pafir. 
 } That difpofing of Places thus aforehand, 
 
 1[ much abates Men’s endeavours, who are 
 t- many times ftirred up to deferve eminently 
 > in the Commonwealth, in hope of thofe 
 *. Preferments 3 and being thus granted away, 
 there is nothing left in their Eye, for them 
 to exped and aim at, which might nourifh 
 ) and quicken thofe good defires in them$ be- 
 1 fides Places there clofely and covertly paf- 
 13 fed, the Perfons are not for the mod part fo 
 is able and fitted to the Duties thereof, as 
 v when there is choice made out of many pub- 
 f lick Pretenders, which commonly occurr, 
 when they adually fall void by Death, 
 fc L 2 6 . That 
 
 147 
 
14-8 The Political Anatomy, 
 
 6 . That the Places in the Lieutenant s Gift , 
 as well in the Martial as Civil Lift, be 
 left freely to his difpofing ^ and that his 
 Majefty may be gracioufly pleajed not to pap 
 them to any Perfon, upon Suits made unit) 
 him here . 
 
 This courfe held, preferves the Rights of 
 the Lieutenant’s Place, and his Perfon in 
 that Honour and Efteem which can only 
 enable him to do fervice $ and if the contra¬ 
 ry happen, it is not only in diminution to 
 him, but draws off”all neceffary dependance 
 upon him, and regard that ought to be had 
 of him, in all ready obedience in fuch things 
 he (hall command, for the King’s Service, 
 when they flail difcern that the natural 
 Powers of the Place are taken from him, 
 whereby he might kindle their chearful en¬ 
 deavours by the preferring and furnifhing 
 fuch as deferve thofe places. 
 
 7. That no new Offices be erefled within that 
 Kingdom before fuch time as the Lieutenant 
 be therewith acquainted ^ his Opinion ftrft 
 required and certified accordingly . 
 
 Suits of this Nature, however they may 
 touch the publick, their chief end is the pri¬ 
 vate Profit of the Propounder 5 and for the 
 mod parr, in the Execution prove burthens, 
 
 not 
 
of Ireland. 
 
 not Benefits to the Subje&s $ therefore 
 throughly to be underdood before they 
 pafs, as more eafy and lefs fcandalous to 
 the State, to be (laid at firft than afterwards 
 recalled, and if they be really good, hisMa- 
 jedy may be better informed by his Lieute¬ 
 nants approbation, and fo proceed with 
 more AfTurance to the effecting thereof. 
 
 8. That hi .f Majefly would he pleafed , not to 
 grant ariyLicenfe ofabfence out of that King’- 
 dom, to any Counfellors , Bifhops, Gover¬ 
 nors of any Province or County, or Officers 
 of State, or of the Army, or to any of the 
 Judges, or learned Council , but that it be 
 left to his Lieutenant to give fuch Licenfe. 
 This is but reafonable, becaufe the Lord 
 
 Lieutenant who is chiefly intruded under 
 his Majedy with the Care and Government 
 of that Kingdom, is the mod competent and 
 proper Judge, who in publick Employment 
 may be fpared, and how long, without 
 Prejudice to his Majedy, or the publick. 
 
 9. That all Proportions moving from the Lieu¬ 
 tenant, touching Matters of Revenue, may 
 be dire&ed to the Lord Treafurer of En¬ 
 gland only, and that the Addrefsofall other 
 Difpatches for that Kingdom be by fpecral 
 Direction of his Majefly applyed to one of the

 whofe Expence at 61. 13 s. 4 d. 
 per Annunty or near 4 d. per Die# 1 , for 
 Food, Houfing 5 Cloaths,and all other necef- 
 faries, amount to 40 Millions per Annum. 
 
 2. There are in England and Wales, cf 
 Acres of Land (worth 61. is. %d.per Acre* 
 and 18 Years purchafe) 24 Millions, that 
 is, which yields 8 Millions/>er Annum Rent, 
 and which are worth 144 Millions to be

 3. There be 28000 Houfes within the 
 Liberties of the City of London , worth 15/.

 4. There is in all England and Wales 
 near ten times as many Chimneys as with¬ 
 in the Liberties of London , as appears by 
 the Returns; Whereof thofe within the 
 Bills are \ of the whole. 
 
 5. Tis probable, that the Houfing of all 
 the Cities and Market-Towns, are double in 
 number to thofe of all London } though of 
 no more worth. 
 
 6 . Tis alfo probable, that the Houfing 
 without the Cities and Towns, are more in 
 number than thofe within (. London except¬ 
 ed) but of no more value. 
 
 7. So as the Houfing of England may¬ 
 be eftimated worth 510 Millions 5 and that 
 if their values be eftimated by Chimneys, 
 thofe of London are worth 12 d. per Chirrs 
 ney ;tbofe in the Suburbs 10 d. other Cities 
 and Market-Towns 6 d. and thofe without 
 both, about 4 d. 
 
 8. The Shipping of England, &c. is a-

 Filheries, Parks and Warrens. 
 
 10. The Coined Gold and Silver of the

 11. The Wares, Merchandizes, and Uten- 
 itls of Plate, and Furnitures, may be eftima- 
 ted at 31 Millions to make the Ships and 
 Money 40. and the whole 150 Millions. 
 
 12. The mod uncertain part of this Efti- 
 mate, feems to be rating perfonal Eftates at 
 above 30 Millions, which I make probable 
 thus. 
 
 (.1) Firft it is not unlikely that what is 
 contained in all the Shops, Warehoufes, 
 Cellars, Barns, and Graineries, together 
 with Houfehold Furniture, Cloaths, Orna¬

 Houfing if felf that contains them. 
 
 (2) If the value of all the Cattel, viz . 
 3 6 Millions, were added to the 31 perfonal 
 Eftates, making 67 together ^ both will not 
 make up 1 Year | Provifion for the whole

 40 Millions per Annum*, and poorer than fo,

 fer from Efficiencies in being, but fhould 
 be rated alike, and contribute alike to the' 
 common Necefilties: And then of all and 
 every Sum to be raifed, the Land and Stock 
 muft pay 3 Parts.5 and the People confider- 
 ed without an Eftate at all, 5 more 5 the

 ther the fame 6 Millions (which we hope 
 we have) would ft-ffice for huh revolutions 
 and circulations thereof asTrade requires? 
 I an fwer Yes $for the Expence being 40 Mil¬ 
 lions, if the revolutions werein fueh fhort 
 Circles, viz . weekly, as happens among 
 poor Artizans and Labourers, who receive 
 and pay every Saturday , then 0 parts of 
 1 Million of Money would anfvrer thofe 
 ends: But if tbe Circles be quarterly, ac¬ 
 cording to our Cuftcm of paying Rent, and 
 gathering Taxes, then ic Millions were re¬ 
 quire. Wherefore fuppefirg Payments in

 week and 19. then add 10 Millions to the 
 half of the which will be 5i, fo as if we 
 have 5^ Millions, we have enough. 
 
 1. And thus I have ftiewed, That ir 
 one half of the Subjt&s of England (playing 
 78 days in the Year) will earn 7 d. per diem 
 all the reft of the days one with another * 
 And if they would work A more, and fpend 
 A- Ids, they might enable their King to 
 maintain double the Forces he now doth, 
 without fufferingin the general more than 
 many well afledted perfons do now through 
 negligence, or miftakes in their Particulars. 
 Nor is Money wanting to anfwer all the 
 Ends of a well Policed State, notwithftandr- 
 ing the great Decreafes thereof, which 
 have happened within thefe Twenty Years. 
 
 Nor were it hard to fubftjtute in the 
 place of Money (were a competency of it 
 wanting) what ftiould be equivalent unto 
 it. For Money is but the Fat of the Body- 
 Politick, whereof too much doth as often 
 hinder its Agility, as too little makes ir tick. 
 Tis true, that as Fat lubricates the motion 
 of the Mufcles, feeds in want of Vi&uals, 
 fills up uneven Cavities and beautifies the 
 Body^ fodoth Money in the State quicken 
 its Action, feeds from abroad in time of

 Thirdly, Reckoning all the perfonal 
 Eftates of the City of London (Shipping

 Houfing, whereas they are double: Which 
 happens becaufe the Houfing of London 
 belongs to the Church, Companies,or Gen-

 (3.) Rating the Houfes, per Chimney, 
 gives a good Account of Improvements 
 and Dilapidations. 
 
 (4.) Excife gives an Account of Dome- 
 Click Expences, and publiftieth Exorbitances. 
 
 (5.) Land-Taxes keep the Payments to 
 the Proportion of entire Value, not of 
 Annual Rent: So as an Eftate in Houfing 
 pays no more than if it were in Lands, 
 iior confiderable lefs than Goods, and may 
 bring Mortgages to their juft Contribu¬

 dable for their Money, as fome have

 ways. 
 
 2. That ftoppage of Trade is confidera-

 not above five Millions worth per atm . for 
 our 40. 
 
 5. That the Expence of the King, &c. 
 being about 400,000 /. per ann. is but 4 part 
 oftheExpeqce of the Nation, who all have 
 the Pleafure and Honour of it. 
 
 4. That the Money of the Nation being

 5. The Wealth of England lies in Land 
 and People, fo as they make five parts of iflx 
 of the whole: But the Wealth of Holland 
 lies more in Money, Houfing, Shipping and

 times as rich as Holland in Land and People, 
 (9s it is) and Holland twice as rich as we in

 of Arfable, Meadow andPafture-Land, for 
 every Soul in it 5 and thofe fo fertile, as that 
 the labour of one man in tilling them, is fuf-

 Men vainly hoped from Polygamy For as 
 much as he that can do the Work of five 
 Men by one, effects the fame as the beget¬ 
 ting four adult Workmen. Nor is (uch 
 Advantage worth fewer Years Purchafe 
 than that of Lands, or what we efteem 
 likeft to perpetual. Now the making Ne- 
 ceffaries cheap, by the means aforefaid, and 
 not by railing more of them than can be 
 fpent whilft they are good, will neceffitate 
 others to buy them with much labour of 
 other Kinds. For if one Man could raife 
 Corn enough for the whole, better than 
 any one man 5 then that man would have 
 the natural Monopoly of Corn and could 
 exa& more labour for it in exchange, than 
 if ten others rais’d ten times as much Corn 
 as is neceflary 5 which would make other la¬ 
 bour fo much the dearer, as Men were lefs 
 tinder the need of engaging upon it. 
 
 2. By this way we might recover our 
 loft Cloth-trade, which by the fame the 
 Dutch got from us. By this way the Eaft - 
 Indians furnifti us from the other end of the 
 World with Linnen cheaper than ourfelves 
 can make them, with what grows at our 
 own Doors. By this means we might fetch 
 
 Flax

 Flax from France , and yet furnifti them with 
 Linnen, (that is) if we make no more than 
 we can vend, but fo much with the feweft 
 Hands, and cheapeft Food, which will be 
 when Food alfo is raifed, by fewer Hands 
 than elfewb£re 
 
 3. I anfwer generally we (hould em¬ 
 ploy our felves by railing fuch Commodi¬ 
 ties, as would yield and fetch in Money 
 from abroad: For that would fupply any 
 Wants of ours from the fame, or any other 
 Place at all times. Which Stores of Dome- 
 ftick Commodities could not effeft, whofe 
 value is to call a Temporary (*. e.) which 
 are of value but pro hie & nunc,, 
 
 4. But when (hould we reft from this 
 great Induftry? 1 anfwer. When we have 
 certainly more Money than any of our 
 Neighbour States, (though never fo little) 
 both in Arithmetrical and Geometrical pro¬ 
 portion (i e .) when we have more Years 
 Provifion aforehand, and more prefent 
 Effefts. 
 
 5. What then (hall we bufie our felves 
 about? I anfwer, in Ratiocinations upon 
 the Works and Will ofGod, to be fupported 
 not only by the indolency, but alfo by the 
 pleafureoi the Body ? and not only by the 
 tranquility, but ferenety of the Mind * and 
 this Exercife is the natural end of Man in 
 
 S this

 this world, and that which beft dipofeth 
 him for his fpiritual Happinefs in that other 
 which is to come. The Motions of the Mind 
 being the quickeft of all others, afford molt 
 variety, wherein is the very form and being 
 of Pleafure* and by how much the more 
 we have of this pleafure, by fo much the 
 more we are capable of it even ad infini¬ 
 tum.
