Running vnto my boſom, each one brings,

Hath warm’d my chilly bowells with his fires,
Hath tic’d me from his comfort with a

Of what thou art; and then with prayers,

And what elſe could attract me to conſent,
Hath yeelded to my conuay thy large

To traffique through my wide vaſt continent.
And now with a deſire that outſtrips
Imagination, I am come to ſee,
And wonder at the ſtate which I now find,
And now with you this league I will combind,
That while the influence of the forked moone,
Appoints my curled billowes ebbes, and

While that the ſhipman throwes to heauen his

With ſparkling glory o’re my wrinkled face,

Called the Brazen age: when that did fade,

Sprung vp to be my Atlas; were he gone,
Theſe Elements attending would with rage,
But now doe you not wonder much to ſee,

Like to a victor borne triumphantly?

I bare to thee and thy Societie,
Whoſe bounteous intertainments are aboue
All that I euer found. Now in returne,

St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of 1666.St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:

Cheapside, one of the most important streets in early modern London, ran east-west between the Great Conduit at the foot of Old Jewry to the Little Conduit by St. Paul’s churchyard. The terminus of all the northbound streets from the river, the broad expanse of Cheapside separated the northern wards from the southern wards. It was lined with buildings three, four, and even five stories tall, whose shopfronts were open to the light and set out with attractive displays of luxury commodities (Weinreb and Hibbert 148). Cheapside was the centre of London’s wealth, with many mercers’ and goldsmiths’ shops located there. It was also the most sacred stretch of the processional route, being traced both by the linear east-west route of a royal entry and by the circular route of the annual mayoral procession.Cheapside Street is mentioned in the following documents:
