according_a as_o you_o prove_v either_o skilful_a or_o lucky_a in_o the_o dig_v the_o figure_n of_o some_o of_o they_o i_o have_v here_o cause_v to_o be_v represent_v to_o the_o reader_n the_o first_o

nothing_o so_o fresh_a with_o this_o inscription_n in_o the_o middle_n likewise_o priscian_n now_o as_o the_o multitude_n of_o these_o newington_n urn_n for_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o ever_o

it_o be_v hard_a to_o determine_v any_o thing_n as_o certain_o and_o general_o true_a but_o as_o for_o these_o newington_n urn_n this_o seem_v to_o have_v be_v the_o custom_n there_o use_v one_o great_a urn_n be_v appoint_v to_o contain_v the_o bone_n and_o ash_n of_o all_o one_o either_o household_n or_o kindred_n as_o often_o therefore_o as_o any_o of_o they_o die_v so_o often_o have_v they_o recourse_n unto_o the_o common_a urn_n which_o so_o often_o be_v uncover_v to_o prevent_v this_o i_o find_v that_o the_o fashion_n have_v be_v in_o some_o place_n to_o let_v in_o the_o ash_n

great_a urn_n may_v the_o better_o be_v know_v and_o discern_v one_o from_o another_o which_o be_v so_o near_o in_o so_o small_a a_o compass_n of_o ground_n and_o not_o much_o unlike_a one_o another_o may_v otherwise_o easy_o be_v mistake_v and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o likely_a because_o of_o those_o many_o hundred_o that_o have_v be_v take_v up_o of_o the_o lesser_a sort_n scarce_o have_v there_o be_v find_v any_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o make_n i_o hear_v not_o of_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v hitherto_o be_v find_v in_o these_o newington_n urn_n beside_o bone_n and_o ash_n and_o sometime_o clear_a water_n and_o so_o do_v i_o read_v of_o urn_n or_o earthen_a vessel_n plenis_fw-la limpidissima_fw-la aqua_fw-la that_o have_v be_v find_v elsewhere_o as_o that_o which_o be_v

much_o we_o may_v certain_o conclude_v first_o from_o the_o multitude_n of_o these_o urn_n that_o it_o be_v once_o a_o common_a bury_a place_n for_o the_o roman_n second_o from_o the_o history_n of_o
