I.n thefe Points, of the firaight, and more inward, V1zion, th.ere will intervtyn, one principalJ Dijfiut!ty,and ImpedimentJgrowtng f! om that Rol't, whtch Arijiotle, in his roliticf<!, makerh, to be the Roar, of all Divifion, and Difiention, in Common WealthJ; And that is Eq11a!ity, and lnequality. For the Realm of Scotland, :snow, an Ancient:> and Noble, Realm, fubftantive of it felf. But when this Ifland, ihall be ina de Britain, then Scotl.~nd, is no more to be confidered, as SwtLmd, but as a part of Britain; No more then E1zgland, is to be confidered, as England, but a~ a part, like. wile, ot Britain: And confequently, neither (;f thcfe, are to be confidered, as Things entire of themfdves, but in the Proportion that rhey btar to' the ff'hole. And therefore, let us im:.1gine.1 (Na1n id ll-tente rojjunuu, qHod 4{Ju nfJn Pej"1Jm1u,) that Britain, had never bten divided, but had ever been one Kingdome; Then that part, of Sayl,or Territory:> which is comprehtnded under the N01me of Scotland; ili, in quantity, (as I have heard it efieemed, how tn)ly I know not;) Not paft, a third pat t of Eritain; And that part ofS<ryl, or Territory :J which is comprehended, under the Name uf England, is two parts ofBr.itttin; Leaving. to fpeak, of a. ny D ifference, offVeu!th, or Pop11lation, and fpeaking onely of ~:mtity.
