 perhaps the water of that is as good) and now molt ufed, but an 

 other ancienter Holy- well behind the Church, in Mr. Nevil's Court 

 before his houfe. And that fecondly, notwithftanding the au- 

 thority of the Learned Dr. Hammond (with whom a man need

 Well of St. Edward in the Parifh of St. Clements, rather the Well of 

 St. Edmund, for which I find the very fame authority alleged, that

 with all imaginable endeavor of amendment for the future, in lieu 

 and excufe of my prefent Inabilities.
