Cambridge, July 6. 1638.

¶ A generall bill of all those which have been buried in the 14 parishes of Cambridge, and the liberties of the same, from the 17 of May un­till this present 6 of July, 1638.

THat the number of all those which are dead of the plague, or other diseases in Cambridge, and the 14 parishes of the same, may be truly known, (after due examination of the Church-wardens and Clerks of the severall parishes) we have thought fit to publish this bill, wherein is truly set down the number of all those persons which have died in any of the parishes in Cambridge, or at the pest­house, and of what diseases, since the 17 day of May, untill the 6 of July, being full seven weeks, and before any infection of the plague, or suspicion of the same was perceived in Cambridge. Hereafter we intend every fortnight to publish the like bills, that thereby all such as desire, may be truly inform­ed from time to time how the sicknesse increaseth or decreaseth with us.

All the Colledges (God be praised) are, and have continued without any infection of the plague, except Jesus Colledge, where onely one died of the plague the 12 of June.
