for_o the_o carry_v on_o their_o trade_n though_o we_o make_v no_o question_n but_o in_o a_o short_a time_n with_o the_o assistance_n and_o advice_n of_o the_o lord_n mayor_n and_o court_n of_o

any_o valuable_a edifice_n we_o do_v declare_v that_o if_o any_o considerable_a number_n of_o man_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o comply_v with_o the_o humour_n of_o every_o particular_a man_n shall_v address_v themselves_o to_o the_o court_n of_o alderman_n &_o manifest_v to_o they_o in_o what_o place_v their_o ground_n lie_v upon_o which_o they_o design_v to_o build_v they_o shall_v in_o

down_o such_o general_n to_o which_o all_o particular_a design_n must_v conform_v themselves_o in_o the_o first_o place_n the_o woeful_a experience_n in_o this_o late_a heavy_a visitation_n have_v sufficient_o convince_v all_o man_n of_o the_o pernicious_a consequence_n which_o have_v attend_v the_o build_n with_o timber_n and_o even_o with_o stone_n itself_o and_o the_o notable_a benefit_n of_o brick_n which_o in_o so_o many_o place_n have_v resist_v and_o even_o extinguish_v the_o fire_n and_o we_o do_v therefore_o hereby_o declare_v our_o express_a will_n and_o pleasure_n that_o no_o man_n whatsoever_o shall_v presume_v to_o erect_v any_o house_n or_o building_n great_a or_o small_a but_o of_o brick_n or_o stone_n and_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v do_v the_o contrary_a the_o next_o

notable_a benefit_n many_o man_n have_v receive_v from_o those_o cellar_n which_o have_v be_v well_o and_o strong_o arch_v will_v persuade_v most_o man_n who_o build_v good_a house_n to_o practise_v that_o good_a husbandry_n by_o arch_v all_o convenient_a place_n we_o do_v declare_v that_o fleetstreet_n cheapside_n cornhill_n and_o all_o other_o eminent_a and_o notorious_a street_n shall_v be_v of_o such_o a_o breadth_n as_o may_v with_o god_n blessing_n prevent_v the_o mischief_n that_o one_o side_n may_v suffer_v if_o the_o other_o be_v on_o fire_n which_o be_v the_o case_n late_o in_o

to_o make_v the_o passage_n uneasy_a or_o inconvenient_a especial_o towards_o the_o waterside_n nor_o will_v we_o suffer_v any_o lane_n or_o ally_n to_o be_v erect_v but_o where_o upon_o mature_a
