The College of St. Peter, called Westminster Abby.

The Parish Churches of

St. Margaret by Westminster Abby.
St. Martin in the Field, by Charing Cross.

Thus have ye in the Wards of London, and in the Suburbs of the same City, the Borough of Southwark, and the City of Westminster, Parish Churches 123, besides the Cathedral Church of St. Pauls, and the Collegiate Church of St. Peter.

These Parish Churches are honoured with the Names of several Saints prefixed to them; to whom, whether holy Men or Women, they were dedicated at their Founding: And so they stand in our Weekly Bills of Mortality. The first Bill wherein the Parishes had the Title SAINT put before each Saint's Name, was that which bore Date January the 15, 1634, to the 22d of the same; according to the Observation of Richard Smith, a late diligent Antiquary; which continued for some Years, until afterwards in the Mayoralty of Alderman Pennington, the Saints were thrown out of Doors, and the Parishes unsainted. For in the Year 1642, the Title of Saint in the Weekly Bills of Mortality in London, was commanded by the Authority then prevailing, to be expunged for the future; the blessed Virgin Mary, (saith R.S.) the holy Apostles, (nay, and our Saviour himself, nor the Holy Trinity spared) whom no Christian dare deny to be holy Saints in Heaven, being for Company unhallowed and unsainted also. This divorcing of the Parishes from their Saints in the said Bills continued until the Year 1660; when at the Restoration of King Charles II. they were again restored; and so it hath continued hitherto.]

To this List of the Parish Churches, it may not be incongruous to add another of considerable Antiquity; containing not only the old Names of the Churches in each Parish, but also of the Religious Houses, Hospitals, Chapels of London and Westminster, together with the respective Diocesses, Patrons, and the Tenths due from each.
