SED de Parliamentis hoc unum monuiffe fufficiat, nihil ratum effe, nihil legis vim habere, nifi quod omnium trium ordinum confenfu conjunělo conflitutum eft; ita tamen ut uniuscujufque ordinis per fe major pars confentiens pro toto ordine fufficiat. Scio bodie controverti, an duo ordines Parliamenti, diffentiente tertio, quafi major pars, leges condere, onera five realia five perfonalia imponere, ftatuta nova introducere poffint, cujus partem negantem boni omnes, & quicunque de hac re fcripferunt, pertinaciffime tuentur, alioqui duo ordines in everfionem tertii, poffunt convenire. Quod de everfione dixi, idem de præjudicio & incommodo intelligendum.

Extract from Sir William Petty's Political Anatomy of Ireland.

IF all men were bound to spend the proceed of their land on the land itfelf; then as all the proceed of Ireland ought to be spent in Ireland, fo all the proceed of one county in Ireland ought to be spent in the fame; of one barony in the fame barony; and fo parish and manor; 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 fpending of wealth would destroy all fplendour and ornament; for if it were not fit that one place fhould be more fplendid than another, so alfo no one inan fhould be greater or richer than another; for if fo, then the wealth-fuppofe of Ireland, being perhaps 11 millions, being divided amongst 1,100,000 people, then no one man having above rol. could probably build a house worth perhaps 34, which would be to leave the face of beggary on the whole nation; and with all fuch parity, would beget anarchy and confufion.-P. 84, 85.
