CAMERA REGIS OR A VIEW OF LONDON BEfore I come to present the Courteous Reader a view of the most renowned City of London it will not be much amiss to premise somewhat concerning the Description of the words Civitas Vrbs Oppidum c. The definition of a City and a Corporation the Commencement of Corporations the Causes why Cities were at first instituted and lastly the number of Cities within this Realm 1. Of the words Civitas Urbs and Oppidum THe same place sayes one is called Vrbs Civitas and Oppidum it is called Civitas in regard that it is governed in justice and order of Magistracy Oppidum for that there are therein great plenty of Inhabitants and Urbs because it is in due form begirt about with Walls Latches Reports Le Roy vers Mayor of Oxford The Walls sayes another do not make the City but the Men Maenia Edificia faciunt Urbem homines faciunt Civitatem Co. Littl. 109.8 Civitas and Urbs sayes a third Person in hoc differunt quod incolae dicuntur Civitas Urbs vero complectitur aedificia but with us the one is commonly taken for the other In the Civil Law we find it thus written D. 50.16 2. de verborum signif touching Vrbs and Roma Urbis appellatio muris Romae autem continentibus aedificiis finitur quòd latiùs patet D. 50.16.87 Ut Alfenus ait Vrbs est Roma quae muro cingeretur Roma est etiam qua continenti aed ficia essent Nam Romam non muro tenus existimari ex consuetudine cotidiana posse intelligi cum diceremus Romam nos ire etiam si extra urbem habitaremus 2.
