From 7155 which died of the Plague in one week, there is a decrease to 5538 the next, which was at the latter end of September, the next week a farther decrease to 4929, the next to 4327, the next to 2665, the next to 1421, the next to 1031; then there was an increase the first week in November to 1414, but it fell the week after to 1050, and the week after to 652, and the week after that to 333; and so lessened more and more to the end of the year: when we had a Bill of 97306 which died of all Diseases, which was an increase of more then 79000, over what it was the year before; and the number of them which died by the Plague, was reckoned to be 68596 this year; when there were but 6 which the Bill speaks of who died the year before.
