According to the excerpt, what is the king’s salary?

pounds of sterling a year
In England a King hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which, in plain terms, is to [impoverish] the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society, and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.
