These Things ought duly to be looked unto▪ viz.

IT is very convenient, that you keep your Houses, Streets, Yards, back-sides, Sinks and Kennells sweet and clean, from all standing Puddles, Dunghills, and corrupt Moystures, which ingender stinking Savours, that may be noysome, or breed Infection. Nor suffer no Doggs to come running into your Houses; nei∣ther keep any, except it be backward, in some Place of open Air; for they are very dangerous, and not sufferable in time of Sickness, by rea∣son they run from Place to Place, and from one House to another, feeding upon the uncleanest things, that are cast forth in the Streets; and are a most apt Cattel to take Infection of any Sick∣ness, and then to bring it into the House.
