Whereof one of the plague.

The like increase of the bills was observed in the parishes of St.
Bride's, adjoining on one side of Holborn Parish, and in the parish of
St. James's, Clerkenwell, adjoining on the other side of Holborn; in
both which parishes the usual numbers that died weekly were from four to
six or eight, whereas at that time they were increased as follows:--

Dec. 20 to Dec. 27, St. Bride's 0
St. James's 8
Dec. 27 to Jan. 3, St. Bride's 6
St. James's 9

Besides this, it was observed, with great uneasiness by the people, that
the weekly bills in general increased very much during these weeks,
although it was at a time of the year when usually the bills are very
moderate.

The usual number of burials within the bills of mortality for a week was
from about two hundred and forty, or thereabouts, to three hundred. The
last was esteemed a pretty high bill; but after this we found the bills
successively increasing, as follows:--

Buried. Increased.
Dec. 20 to Dec. 27 291 0
Dec. 27 to Jan. 3 349 58
Jan. 3 to Jan. 10 394 45
Jan. 10 to Jan. 17 415 21
Jan. 17 to Jan. 24 474 59

This last bill was really frightful, being a higher number than had
been known to have been buried in one week since the preceding
visitation of 1656.

However, all this went off
