The family they were in endeavoured to ceal it as mubsp;as possible, but as it had gotten some vent in the discour of the neighbourhood, the Secretaries of State got knowledge of it; and ing themlves to inquire about it, in order to be certain of the truth, two physis and a surgeon were ordered to go to the hou and make iion. This they did; and finding evident tokens of the siess upon both the bodies that were dead, they gave their opinions publibsp;that they died of the plague. Whereupon it was given in to the parish clerk, and he also returned them to the Hall; and it was printed in the weekly bill of mortality in the usual manner, thus—
Plague, 2. Parishes ied, 1.
The people showed a great at this, and began to be alarmed all over the town, and the more, bebsp;in the last week in December 1664 another man died in the same hou, and of the same distemper. And then we were easy again for about six weeks, when none having died with any marks of iion, it was said the distemper was gone; but after that, I think it was about the 12th of February, another died in another hou, but in the same parish and in the same manner.
