as_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v almost_o in_o all_o great_a city_n though_o insensible_o and_o not_o under_o many_o year_n progression_n 9_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v because_o man_n be_v unwilling_a to_o build_v new_a house_n at_o the_o charge_n of_o pull_v down_o their_o old_a where_o both_o the_o old_a house_n itself_o and_o the_o ground_n it_o stand_v upon_o do_v make_v a_o much_o dear_a ground-plot_n for_o a_o newhouse_n and_o yet_o far_o less_o free_a and_o convenient_a wherefore_o man_n build_v upon_o new_a free_a foundation_n and_o cobble_v up_o old_a house_n until_o they_o

example_n whereof_o be_v many_o even_o about_o london_n now_o if_o great_a city_n be_v natural_o apt_a to_o remove_v their_o seat_n i_o ask_v which_o way_n i_o say_v in_o the_o case_n of_o london_n it_o must_v be_v westward_o because_o the_o wind_n blow_v near_o 3_o fourth_n of_o the_o year_n from_o the_o west_n the_o dwelling_n of_o the_o west_n end_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o free_a from_o

wherefore_o the_o tithe_n now_o shall_v be_v twelve_o time_n as_o good_a as_o they_o be_v four_o hundred_o year_n ago_o which_o the_o rate_n of_o benefice_n in_o the_o king_n book_n do-pretty_a well_o
