Now going back again, we turn South into Broadstreet, very spacious graced with good Buildings, which are well inhabited; which said Street from London Wall runs Southwards, till bending West it falls into Throgmorton Street, and more South into Little Broadstreet, and thence into Thredneedle Street.
