A25783	Arguments concerning the new buildings in the parishes within the weekly bills of mortality without the city of London		1677 (1677)	Wing A3641; ESTC R28302	3,665	1

argument_n concernimg_v the_o newbuilding_n in_o the_o parish_n within_o the_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n without_o the_o city_n of_o london_n because_o the_o increase_n of_o newbuilding_n have_v of_o late_o occasion_v much_o clamour_n and_o see_v some_o man_n endeavour_v by_o mistake_a suggestion_n to_o induce_v other_o to_o believe_v that_o such_o building_n be_v erect_v against_o law_n and_o be_v a_o public_a nuisance_n or_o if_o not_o so_o that_o yet_o the_o builder_n and_o owner_n thereof_o have_v as_o they_o suppose_v make_v great_a advantage_n to_o themselves_o by_o such_o building_n therefore_o they_o will_v have_v it_o think_v reasonable_a that_o a_o particular_a tax_n of_o half_a a_o year_n value_n according_a to_o the_o improve_v rent_n shall_v be_v impose_v upon_o they_o towards_o the_o public_a charge_n imagine_v that_o the_o same_o will_v amount_v unto_o a_o vast_a sum_n wherefore_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o a_o thing_n so_o unequal_a and_o destructive_a to_o many_o particular_a person_n and_o so_o little_a advantageous_a to_o the_o present_a design_n it_o may_v be_v reasonable_a to_o show_v the_o mistake_v and_o error_n of_o such_o person_n and_o that_o these_o building_n be_v not_o against_o any_o law_n whatsoever_o or_o any_o public_a nuisance_n nor_o so_o advantageous_a to_o the_o builder_n and_o owner_n as_o be_v imagine_v i._o the_o common_a law_n favour_v much_o the_o increase_n of_o building_n be_v for_o the_o habitation_n of_o man_n and_o give_v the_o pre-eminence_n to_o land_n build_v before_o other_o land_n co._n litt._n
