The same observations apply, though in a much
simpler form, to the subject of population.

To yield advantage to the Mother Country on
the score of population, it is not sufficient that the
Colony possess a population of its own. It is necessary
that out of that population, it should be able and
disposed to furnish to the Mother Country, for the
exigencies use of the Mother Country — viz: for such part
of its common exigencies as consist in the services
of men to be employ'd in such public services as
are apt to be regarded as burthensome — consisting
principally almost and almost exclusively of services in the way of
military defence — an number allotment of men
such as, were had it not been for the Colony, the Mother Country
would have been obliged to draught out the stock of
its own inhabitants.

And Moreover, supposing the Colony to yield any such
supply of men in the course of the given period, then, against the ad profit by such
supply, will be to be set in the side of loss, any
such number of men, who as having been draughted
by the Mother Country out of it's own or any other
stock, and employ'd by it in the way of military
defence or any other such service tending to curt shorten
the thread of life, shall have been cut off in the
course of service performed on the account of the Colony,
whether in the way of military defence, or otherwise.
