And like to these is the law also, which saith: Thou shalt have a place without the host to go forth unto, and shalt bear a paddle stick at thy girdle, wherewith as thou sittest, thou shalt dig a hole to hide thy ordure or cover thine excrements in. And in the civil law the like matter in effect is handled: for very necessity doth require y• in common weals there should be laws concerning draughts, & order of buildings, so y• no man by his excrements or building of new houses should trouble or annoy his neighbours about him. To this place also we may add the laws that were made concerning the separating of lepers from them that were clean, lest peradventure y• contagious disease should by little & little infect the healthful. The laws of Lepers and the leprosy ⟨p. 397⟩are at large set down in the 13 & 14 Chapter of Leviticus.
