unfairly reprefented, as Dr. Halley’s certainly is, if 
he ever meant, as he is generally, but I think not 
rightly, underhood. 
I faid I could not admit, that of 1000 children 
born at Brehau 202 only died under 2 years of age ; 
and, having prepared you for it, fhall now give you 
the reafon. Dr. Halley hates the births (5) certain 
at 1238, and adds farther, that 348 of them do die 
in the firh year; that but 890 arrive at a full year’s 
age; and that 198 more do die in the 5 years next 
following. Upon which data, I hate thofe 6 years 
of the local lives and deaths, and their proportionals 
for 1000 births, as follows.

And from hence I think it very nlain, that out of 
1238 births at Brehau, 424 die under 2 years old; 
and therefore, out of 1000, 342 die under that age: 
which is fomewhat more than I obforve in my parifh.
