at_o all_o return_v they_o or_o not_o according_a to_o the_o report_n of_o the_o searcher_n to_o these_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o bill_n of_o mortality_n be_v of_o very_o great_a use_n and_o necessity_n and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v slight_v since_o it_o so_o much_o conduce_v to_o the_o health_n of_o the_o city_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o member_n thereof_o in_o that_o it_o give_v a_o general_a notice_n of_o the_o plague_n and_o a_o particular_a account_n of_o the_o place_n which_o be_v therewith_o infect_v to_o the_o end_n such_o place_n may_v be_v shun_v and_o avoid_v true_a and_o undeniable_a it_o be_v that_o the_o searcher_n be_v general_o ancient_a woman_n and_o i_o think_v be_v therefore_o most_o fit_a for_o that_o office_n but_o sure_o i_o be_o they_o be_v choose_v by_o some_o of_o the_o eminent_a man_n of_o the_o parish_n to_o which_o they_o stand_v relate_v and_o if_o any_o of_o their_o chooser_n shall_v speak_v against_o their_o ability_n they_o will_v much_o disparage_v their_o own_o judgement_n and_o after_o such_o choice_n they_o be_v examine_v touch_v their_o sufficiency_n and_o swear_v to_o that_o office_n by_o the_o dean_n of_o the_o arch_n or_o some_o justice_n of_o the_o peace_n as_o the_o cause_n shall_v require_v as_o for_o the_o clerk_n return_v i_o dare_v affirm_v they_o never_o be_v more_o punctual_a in_o the_o discharge_v of_o this_o their_o duty_n then_o at_o this_o day_n and_o true_o both_o they_o and_o the_o searcher_n have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o be_v very_o careful_a of_o what_o they_o make_v report_n they_o be_v both_o bind_v by_o their_o oath_n for_o the_o performance_n thereof_o the_o searcher_n to_o view_v and_o search_v the_o body_n of_o all_o person_n decease_a within_o their_o parish_n and_o to_o give_v a_o true_a account_n to_o the_o clerk_n of_o what_o disease_n the_o party_n die_v and_o the_o clerk_n to_o return_v a_o just_a account_n according_a to_o the_o report_n of_o

a_o strict_a obligation_n than_o a_o sacred_a oath_n to_o bind_v any_o person_n but_o to_o proceed_v my_o purpose_n be_v to_o give_v you_o a_o just_a and_o brief_a account_n of_o all_o the_o weekly_a
