Now concerning the Bounds and Limits both of the Parish and Ward, and how far they extend themselves every way; there can be no better Direction therein than following the Order of their own yearly Perambulation, which for avoiding of Prolixity, thus I observe.

Walking down Houndsditch Northward, so far as the dwellling House of one Edward Ansel, Carpenter, they there cross the Way Eastward into Still and Hand Alley, passing on along by a Garden brick Wall, belonging to a fair goodly Place, termed some time Fishers Folly: Thence they proceed into Hog Lane, in the Middle of which Lane is the Partition between the two Parishes of Whitechapel and St. Botolphs: There they go on to the Bars in the common Street, and crossing the Way Southward, go through a now Tavern House, known by the Name of the Castle. Where turning back again the Breadth of two small Gardens, they then pass on right forward (west) to the Minories Wall, until they come to the Minories Bars.

There (at the farther end) they turn down into an Alley, called Browns Alley, to a Wall being by Goodman's Fields; and so along by that Wall, so far as to Goodman's Gate: Where, by reason of a Controversy happening between the Parish of Whitechapel and St. Botolphs, and a Barn and other Buildings erected in the Way, they are constrained to turn up into the Street again. Then they go down Red Lion Alley, to the House of one Darby Morgan, passing on thence directly into Rosemary Lane. Then down on the South Side till they come to the East Side of a new Churchyard, there builded at the Parish's Cost, and for their Help in times of Sickness: There they go through an House, then through the Churchyard, and afterward through the House of one John Batcheler. Thence they go down Nightingale Lane, on the West Side, until they come to the Middle of a Foord, which some time turned Wapping Mill; and there the foresaid two Parishes are divided again by that Foord: Then
