The Exchange.

This was built by Sir Thomas Gresham Knight, anno Domini 1571. in Imitation of that at Antwerp, but so that the Copy exceedeth the Original, Queen Elizabeth na∣med it the Royal burse, but it is commonly called the Exchang•…•… or Change, because by Bargains 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ven there, Wares are changed for Wares, and Wares for mony, and mony for money. Yet because much of Mutability is imported in the word Change, it may be a fit Remembrancer to Merchants meeting here, not to build their hopes of perpetuity on what is so subject to Vicissitude and Alteration. Well may this place be termed the Change, where poor men so soon become rich by Good Successe, and Richmen Poor by Losses and Casualties unexpected.
