arise_v to_o a_o very_a great_a number_n which_o in_o gresham_n college_n be_v a_o considerable_a branch_n of_o their_o present_a revenue_n and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n have_v you_o make_v your_o accommodation_n for_o such_o small_a trade_n as_o be_v now_o in_o your_o royal_a exchange_n below_o stair_n in_o those_o extreme_a part_n which_o you_o have_v purchase_v and_o take_v in_o but_o

say_a place_n and_o that_o the_o say_v shop_n shall_v have_v front_v towards_o the_o merchant_n with_o double_a pillar_n although_o they_o be_v now_o but_o single_a just_a as_o it_o be_v in_o gresham-colledge_n and_o also_o that_o you_o have_v make_v above_o stair_n but_o one_o long_a single_a pawn_n and_o but_o one_o roof_n with_o large_a and_o deep_a shop_n therein_o fit_v for_o mercer_n silk-man_n indian-gown_n man_n popes-head-alley_n man_n and_o all_o other_o wholesale_n man_n of_o the_o present_a inhabitant_n as_o have_v occasion_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o trade_n to_o make_v

you_o in_o what_o revenue_n you_o have_v please_v in_o reason_n to_o require_v for_o the_o same_o and_o if_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o right_o worshipful_a company_n of_o mercer_n shall_v condescend_v so_o far_o as_o to_o spare_v or_o to_o procure_v so_o much_o money_n whereby_o to_o make_v it_o still_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n the_o consent_n of_o all_o party_n concern_v be_v first_o have_v and_o obtain_v i_o dare_v forfeit_v all_o the_o concern_v i_o have_v in_o the_o world_n in_o regard_n i_o be_o able_a to_o make_v it_o out_o by_o most_o solid_a substantial_a rational_a demonstration_n that_o in_o seven_o year_n time_n it_o will_v turn_v to_o account_n and_o if_o this_o can_v be_v make_v out_o then_o lay_v your_o hand_n to_o the_o plough_n yet_o once_o again_o and_o the_o lord_n prosper_v the_o work_n of_o your_o hand_n and_o your_o handiwork_n but_o i_o fear_v shall_v this_o but_o once_o be_v undertake_v both_o the_o exchange_n at_o the_o other_o end_n of_o the_o town_n will_v immediate_o petition_v the_o parliament_n to_o put_v a_o stop_n to_o your_o proceed_n therein_o and_o also_o that_o they_o will_v please_v to_o make_v a_o act_n that_o your_o

to_o contribute_v their_o proportion_n and_o that_o in_o a_o very_a considerable_a measure_n for_o their_o particular_a accommodation_n and_o for_o my_o own_o part_n be_v i_o for_o to_o take_v my_o choice_n i_o have_v much_o rather_o give_v you_o 30_o l._n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o one_o single_a shop_n below_o stair_n of_o eight_o foot_n so_o accommodate_v than_o give_v you_o five_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la for_o one_o shop_n above_o of_o the_o same_o dimension_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v with_o all_o my_o heart_n that_o some_o worthy_a wealthy_a and_o most_o noble_a citizen_n that_o

honour_n of_o the_o city_n of_o london_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o order_n to_o the_o accomplishment_n thereof_o but_o to_o proceed_v these_o outward_a pawn_n tenant_n notwithstanding_o their_o former_a bad_a success_n have_v it_o seem_v adventure_v to_o present_v themselves_o before_o you_o yet_o once_o more_o as_o be_v of_o late_o animate_v and_o encourage_v thereunto_o by_o some_o worthy_a member_n of_o this_o grand_a committee_n in_o particular_a by_o name_n mr._n warden_n godfrey_n so_o that_o you_o see_v they_o be_v willing_a to_o embrace_v any_o opportunity_n to_o take_v hold_n on_o every_o twig_n to_o save_v themselves_o that_o so_o at_o last_o they_o may_v arrive_v at_o their_o desire_a haven_n but_o it_o seem_v it_o be_v not_o at_o

what_o with_o the_o former_a prejudice_n and_o misinformation_n of_o some_o of_o your_o own_o worthy_a member_n what_o with_o the_o clamour_n and_o rail_n of_o some_o particular_a and_o

contain_v peradventure_o you_o may_v here_o reply_v and_o say_v viz._n 1._o that_o those_o person_n who_o particular_a interest_n i_o have_v here_o undertake_v have_v certain_o oblige_v themselves_o by_o some_o particular_a contract_n and_o agreement_n or_o else_o by_o some_o verbal_a promise_n to_o present_v you_o with_o some_o large_a and_o noble_a present_a and_o gratuity_n for_o your_o pain_n

of_o party_n and_o for_o want_v of_o a_o true_a information_n of_o the_o right_n of_o the_o case_n and_o that_o thereupon_o you_o be_v resolve_v to_o take_v that_o and_o the_o poor_a sub-tenant_n

do_v build_v and_o rely_v so_o much_o upon_o your_o clemency_n moderation_n and_o indulgence_n towards_o they_o but_o i_o hope_v these_o precedent_a argument_n before_o mention_v as_o to_o this_o insensible_a revenue_n and_o as_o to_o the_o flourish_a estate_n of_o your_o royal_a city_n will_v for_o the_o future_a take_v some_o impression_n upon_o all_o the_o heart_n of_o this_o honourable_a

to_o the_o flourish_a and_o thrive_a estate_n of_o your_o metropolitan_a city_n i_o may_v very_o well_o compare_v it_o unto_o a_o large_a pleasant_a and_o fertile_a park_n and_o for_o method_n and_o

inconsiderable_a charge_n unto_o they_o though_o in_o the_o whole_a will_v amount_v unto_o a_o very_a considerable_a sum_n upon_o every_o eminent_a merchant_n and_o broker_n who_o do_v daily_o frequent_v your_o royal_a exchange_n and_o there_o deal_v for_o thousand_o and_o ten_o thousand_o in_o a_o week_n and_o pay_v nothing_o for_o their_o station_n rather_o than_o levy_v the_o whole_a charge_n upon_o the_o present_a and_o god_n know_v many_o of_o they_o very_o poor_a inhabitant_n but_o if_o in_o case_n a_o act_n of_o common_a council_n will_v not_o reach_v they_o then_o to_o be_v
