one to another. One of which is therefore Equal to 
the Triangle ABC. And the Reftangle A G H F, (land- 
ing upon the fame Bale, and between the fame Parallel 
Lines with the Rhomboid ACEF, by the 55th of the 
- 1 ft of Eh elide , is Equal to the faid ACEF.' Equal to 
the Triangle ABC : Equal tathe Area of England, or 
South Britain. 
No vv the length between Berwick and the South 
Foreland in Kent, being about 5 Miles more than be- 
tween Berwick, and Nero Haven, which is $95 Miles : 
Therefore the Line A B, may be taken for 400 Miles $ 
and fo the Line A F, for 200. And the Line A G be- 
ing lefs by about 7 Miles*. than between the South Fore- 
land in Kent , and the Lands End in Cornwall, which is 
3157 Miles, the faid AG, may be taken for 360 Miles. 
Therefore AG, 360, being multiply ’d by AF, 200, pro- 
duced! 72000 Square Miles 1 And 72000 being multi' 
ply’d by 640, the Number of Acres contained in one 
Square Mile, produceth 46 Millions and 80000, the 
Number of Acres contained in England , or South Bri- 
tain. 
Whence it appears, 
Firft, that if the Province of Holland contains, as- is 
computed, but one Million of Acres, then England is 
more, by a ’Fraction of 80000 Acres, than 45 times as big 
as Holland. 
Next, if in the Province of Holland, containing but one 
Million of Acres, are two Millions and 400 Thoufand 
Souls, or two Millions and 4 ioths, as they are faid 
to be $ then England , which contains 46 Millions of 
Acres, to be proporticnably Populous, fhould have 
twice 46 Millions of People, and 4 ioths of 4 63 that 
is, about no Millions. • 
But to allow room enough for Perfons of all Degrees 
under our Britifh Monarchy, if England were half as 
Populous as Holland , with only 55 Millions, it were a 
good
