on_o no_o design_n of_o particular_a self_n interest_n enough_o to_o mar_v the_o best_a cause_n in_o the_o world_n i_o hope_v in_o time_n there_o will_v be_v such_o a_o right_a understanding_n between_o you_o and_o your_o present_a tenant_n as_o that_o neither_o you_o nor_o they_o for_o the_o future_a will_v have_v any_o cause_n to_o repent_v the_o publication_n hereof_o and_o now_o these_o contest_a party_n in_o and_o relate_v unto_o the_o royal_a exchange_n you_o have_v they_o reduce_v already_o in_o the_o title_n page_n unto_o these_o three_o head_n viz._n 1._o the_o ancient_a leasees_n 2._o the_o inward_a pawn_n sub-tenant_n 3._o the_o outward_a pawn_n present-tenant_n and_o all_o these_o i_o will_v take_v they_o in_o their_o order_n as_o here_o they_o present_v themselves_o in_o manner_n and_o form_n as_o follow_v and_o first_o for_o the_o ancient_n leasee_v they_o be_v star_n of_o the_o first_o magnitude_n i_o must_v give_v they_o the_o precedency_n i_o presume_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a nor_o requisite_a that_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o a_o particular_a catalogue_n here_o in_o print_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o by_o name_n this_o be_v indeed_o to_o pull_v down_o a_o old_a house_n here_o upon_o my_o head_n but_o only_o let_v you_o know_v that_o as_o such_o they_o be_v those_o who_o before_o the_o late_a dreadful_a fire_n have_v give_v over_o their_o trade_n have_v renew_v before_o hand_n several_a of_o they_o their_o leasee_n for_o 21_o year_n let_v their_o shop_n full_a of_o braded_a ware_n at_o most_o unreasonable_a rate_n viz._n for_o 30_o 40_o and_o 50_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o one_o single_a shop_n in_o your_o royal_a exchange_n and_o in_o fine_a they_o be_v such_o who_o for_o several_a year_n last_o pass_v have_v live_v they_o and_o their_o heir_n and_o will_v willing_o for_o ever_o be_v at_o the_o same_o lock_n as_o make_v a_o better_a livelihood_n thereby_o than_o keep_v shop_n themselves_o upon_o the_o labour_n and_o careful_a endeavour_n of_o many_o poor_a young_a people_n who_o by_o mean_n thereof_o have_v not_o be_v able_a comfortable_o to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o and_o family_n nor_o to_o bear_v up_o under_o such_o intolerable_a and_o insupportable_a burden_n and_o of_o these_o leasee_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n viz._n 1._o antient._n 2._o modern_a i_o be_o force_v to_o make_v use_n of_o and_o borrow_v this_o distinction_n on_o purpose_n hereafter_o to_o avoid_v a_o mistake_n and_o a_o misunderstanding_n from_o the_o leasee_v themselves_o i_o call_v he_o a_o modern_a leasee_n who_o be_v in_o actual_a possession_n by_o lease_n of_o his_o own_o shop_n and_o long_o may_v he_o peaecable_o and_o quiet_o enjoy_v his_o say_a possession_n and_o among_o these_o there_o be_v at_o this_o day_n here_o and_o there_o one_o who_o have_v lease_n of_o more_o shop_n than_o their_o own_o and_o these_o do_v also_o like_o the_o precedent_n leasee_v let_v the_o say_a shop_n at_o a_o extraordinary_a rate_n and_o these_o man_n do_v now_o take_v up_o the_o cudgel_n and_o plead_v in_o the_o behalf_n of_o the_o ancient_n leasee_v it_o be_v in_o this_o respect_n their_o own_o proper_a case_n as_o if_o they_o be_v here_o always_o personal_o present_a to_o defend_v themselves_o wherefore_o these_o ensue_a line_n be_v not_o design_v nor_o intend_v against_o they_o as_o they_o be_v modern_a but_o as_o they_o be_v ancient_a leasees_n and_o now_o to_o my_o present_a purpose_n these_o be_v the_o man_n who_o after_o the_o late_a most_o dreadful_a fire_n do_v so_o bitter_o exclaim_v against_o like_o so_o many_o bear_v rob_v of_o their_o whelp_n and_o yet_o clear_o upon_o a_o mistake_a notion_n as_o the_o sequel_n hereof_o will_v plain_o demonstrate_v your_o build_n of_o double_a

same_o although_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o hear_v of_o lex_fw-la talionis_fw-la they_o do_v not_o say_v who_o child_n will_v be_v bind_v to_o pray_v for_o they_o who_o father_n have_v be_v ruin_v and_o undo_v by_o wrack-rent_n before_o they_o come_v to_o be_v ancient_a leasees_n and_o moreover_o that_o a_o late_a book_n the_o title_n whereof_o be_v london_n

of_o all_o those_o who_o do_v petition_n for_o double_a pawn_n and_o in_o particular_a for_o all_o those_o who_o give_v their_o suffrage_n for_o the_o publication_n of_o the_o say_a book_n i_o dare_v

in_o this_o place_n upon_o their_o account_n but_o only_o there_o be_v one_o very_o material_a objection_n and_o stumbling-block_n to_o be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o way_n before_o they_o can_v
