MISCELLANEOUS. 
By the Mayor (during the great Plague). 
Whereas it hath pleafed God to vifit us 
with a fad and fore judgment, which yet 
of a Adan of Letters. 235 
remaineth increafing and heavy upon us: 
it being well pleafing to Almighty God, 
that all lawfull means be ufed for prevent- 
ing the {preading thereof, his extraordinary 
bleffing oftentimes attending thereupon: 
amoneft thofe outward means that may be 
uled, that of fire having been found very 
fuccefsfull, as by the experience of former 
ages, and of later days in other countries; 
as alfo being generally approved of by all 
judicious perfons, to be a potent and ef- 
feétual means of correéting and purifying 
the air: It is therefore agreed upon by 
and with the advice of his Grace the Duke 
of Albemarle, and the aldermen, my bre- 
thren, that all perfons whatfoever, inhabit- 
ing in the city of London and liberties 
thereof, be required, as they tender their 
own welfares, effectually to put in execu- 
tion fuch direétions as are hereafter ex- 
prefled. Wherefore all perfons inhabit- 
ing as aforefaid, are hereby in his Ma. 
jefties name, ftreightly charged and come 
manded to furnifh themfelves with fufh- 
cient quantities of firing, to wit, of fea- 
coal, or any other combuftible matter, to 
maintain and continue fire conftantly burn- 
ing for three whole days and three whole 
nights, and in the mean time all extraor- 
dinary concourfe of people and employ- 
ment of carrs, and whatever elfe may be 
troublefome in the ftreets, is to be forborn: 
and fervent prayers to be offered up to 
the Throne of Grace for bleffing on the 
means. Every fix houfes on each fide of 
the way, which will be twelve houfes, are 
to join together to provide firing for three 
whole nights and three whole days, to be 
made in one great fire before the dore of 
the middlemoft inhabitant, and one or 
more perfons te be appointed to keep the 
fire conttantly burning, without fuffering 
the fame to be extinguifhed or go out all 
the time aforefaid ; and this to be obferved 
in all ftreets, courts, lanes and alleys, and 
great care to be taken where the ttreets, 
courts, lanes and alleys are narrow that 
the fires may be made of a proportionate 
bignefs, that fo no damage may enfue to 
the houfes. It is fuppofed that one load 
of fea-coal will maintain a fire for three 
days and three nights, by firft kindling 
two bufhels, and afterwards a bufhel at a 
time laid on to continue the fire, whereby 
fix bufhels will maintain fire for twenty- 
four hours, and coniequently eighteen bu- 
fhels (which is a load) will be fufficient 
for three days-and three nights, which 
will not amount to above eighteen. pence 
or two fhillings for each houfe the whole 
three days and three nights: towards 
which charge all the inhabstants that pay 
two-pence
