I'm unsure, does this burial say Aldm [Alderman] Thomas BELL - buried 1717/18 at St Auoden, Dublin.

There is also on the same page, buried on 1 January 1717/18 - Anna BELL "wife to Aldm Bell".

For interest:

"Dublin, August 25 ... Alderman Lloyd, who was Chosen Lord Mayor for the year ensuing, being ill of the Gout and other Distempers, has desired this City to make Choice of another in his room, and accordingly having proceeded to a new Election, they elected Mr Alderman Bell, a Merchant"

From a listing I have compiled of personal names contained in Gilbert's Calendar of Ancient Records of Dublin I have references to an Alderman Thomas Bell.
If you would like to receive these please state so.

Possible candidate for "your" Thomas?

The election for Mayor took place end of June each year. The "Mayor" referred to here might be "your" Thomas (Jul 1702 - Jun 1703) or successor (John Page). An act was passed 1703 in the Irish Parliament for the setting up of a House of Industry.
