4. There is in all England and Wales near ten times as many Chimneys as within the Liberties of London, as appears by the Returns; Whereof those within the Bills are 1⁄5[1] of the whole.
5. 'Tis probable, that the Housing of all the Cities and Market-Towns, are double in number to those of all London, though of no more worth.
6. 'Tis also probable, that the Housing without the Cities and Towns, are more in number than those within (London excepted) but of no more value.
7. So as the Housing of England may be estimated worth 30 Millions[2]; and that if their values be estimated by Chimneys, those of London are worth 12d. per Chimney; those of the Suburbs 10d. other Cities and Market-Towns 6d. and those without both, about 4d.
8. The Shipping of England, &c. is about 500,000 Tuns, which at 6d. per Tun, including their Ordnance, Apparel[3], &c. is worth three Millions. |5|

- ↑ 1719, '310 Millions.'
- ↑ D, 'theire ordinary apparell.'
England at 30 million pounds. His calculation, with the correction suggested, would be:
| 28,000 houses within the Liberties of London, worth | 5,040,000₤ |
| 28,000 houses without the Liberties but within the Bills, | 5,040,000₤ |
| [This makes paragraph 4 plain.] | |
| 112,000 houses in cities and market towns, | 10,080,000₤ |
| 112,000 houses or more without cities and towns, | 10,080,000₤ |
| Total | 30,240,000₤. |
