Greater numbers of People encrease Trade. This is evident, as hath been said, in the Nature of Man, in that every man stands in need of being supplied by another. Every one of these Forreigners, and of their Family, will wear Clothes, Stockings, Shooes, and other necessaries, and furnish their Houses; whereby so much a greater Trade must ensue as the Forreigners are more; and so many poor people employ∣ed by them, who otherways can have no Employment. By the Rule of Contraries then, so many People as leave the Country to encrease other places, so much decreases the Trade of the Country, and encreases it in those other places. And I appeal to any man who hath been conversant in the Country these last twenty years, whether he hath not found this to be so by Experience.
