TWo men walking by Cripple-gate, one of them asked the other from whence the name of that Gate was derived, to which he answer'd, That there was a Cripple of famous memory, who stole the golden Wea∣ther-cock from Pauls Steeple, before it was a Tower, which was, said he, the highest piece of desperate valour that ever was performed, but that his Piety was as noto∣rious
as his Sacriledge, for with the same Weather-cock he built this Gate, which e∣ver since retains his name.
