On Ancestry's London, England, Baptisms Marriages and Burials 1538 - 1812 there is an entry for the burial of Abraham Manners.
Burial 22nd June 1593 at St. Dunstan in the West 1558 - 1632
I can read Abraham Manners a '?' buried out of Shire Lane.
Can anyone help with the missing word?
William who was buried on June 24 has the same word entered, but I cannot make that out either.

Could it be 'Servant' or 'Servaunte'?
Look at February 10th - Johan Gundye the ---- of John M.... buryed
Oh, and I think the last word is 'land', not 'lane'.

Abraham Manners a seruannte buryed oute of shire lane
The first two letters form a ligature ('long s' + 'e'), and 'u'/'v' are interchangeable. So I agree with Thomasin that the meaning is 'servant'.
I would say the last letter on the line is 'e' ('lane'). Compare 'Chauncerye lane' a few lines below.

Thank you so much Thomasin and Kerrywood,
Servant made sense, but I was comparing the 'S' in Gilbert Stevens (the next entry). My latin stopped at amo amas amat!
I was happy with Shire Lane as I have found mention of it off of Fleet Street.
Thanks again.
