of_o house_n 3._o this_o supply_n of_o london_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o winchester_n lincoln_n and_o several_a other_o city_n have_v decrease_v in_o their_o building_n and_o consequent_o in_o their_o inhabitant_n the_o same_o may_v be_v suspect_v of_o many_o town_n in_o cornwall_n and_o other_o place_n which_o probable_o when_o they_o be_v first_o allow_v to_o send_v burgess_n to_o
