[ 35 ] I shall also set down King William's Establishment as the Regiments were before the Reform, because all the Officers still remain, and a great part of the private Soldiers, which I take to be in effect full Regiments; the rest being to be raised again in a few days, if they are designed for home Service, but, as I said before, the hardest to be got if they are designed for Spain or Flanders. But herein if any Man differs from me, he may make his own deductions. [ 36 ]

I have not here put down the Garrison of Tangier
which was about three thousand Men, because that Place
is now loſt, and consequently wants no Garrison.
I will now set down his present Majesty's Establishment,
and then compare them both together.
