Now, the question is, in which of these two imaginary states would be the most convenient, commodious, and comfortable livings?
But this general question divides itself into the several questions, relating to the following particulars, viz.:—
1. For the defence of the kingdom against foreign powers.
2. For preventing the intestine commotions of parties and factions.
3. For peace and uniformity in religion.
4. For the administration of justice.
5. For the proportionably taxing of the people, and easy levying the same.
6. For gain by foreign commerce.
7. For husbandry, manufacture, and for arts of delight and ornament.
8. For lessening the fatigue of carriages and travelling.
