courered or dead be either burnt and cleane consumed with sire or els ayred in such sort as is prescribed in an especiall article conteined in the Aduise set downe by the Physicians And for that peraduenture the losse of such apparel bedding and other stuffe to be burnt may be greater then the poore estate of the owners of the same may well heare it is thought very good and expedient if it
