III That the Churchwardens, Constables, and Overseers of every parish, do every day (and oftener, if there be cause) make inquiry and search in all Inns, Alehouses, and other houses within their parish, for all passengers and strangers, that are or shall be lodged or received in any of them: and if they find, fear, or suspect any of them did come from any part of London, or other place visited; that presently they discharge them, and give notice of the Host or receiver of them, to Mr. Vicechancellor or Mr. Major, or some Justice of Peace, that they may undergo such punishment as shall be thought fit by the foresaid Vicechancellor and Major.  
IIII That if in such search, or at any other time the said Churchwardens, Constables, or Overseers, or any of them, do observe and see, or shall be credibly informed of any drunken persons, swearers, or blasphemers; or find, or be informed that any persons do remain idle, misspending their time in drinking, gaming, or otherwise, within any Tavern, Inn, Alehouse, or other place within this Town, or Liberties of the same; that without favour, or any partiality, they see them presently punished, according to the Statute in such cases provided; or make present complaint of them and their receivers, to the Vicechancellor and Major.

VII That no person buy any goods brought into this Town by any strangers; or carried about the Town to be sold by them, or any others of this Town, upon pain of imprisonment.  
VIII That all persons take heed, that they spend not their time in plays, pastimes, idleness, haunting of Taverns, Inns, or Alehouses, lascivious wantonness, surfeiting, or drunkenness, which are the proper sins of this Nation, for which the heavy displeasure and wrath of God is fallen upon us.  
IX And further, the said Vicechancellor and Major do in his Majesty's name straight charge and command all Constables, Churchwardens, and Overseers of every Parish in this Town, to take especial care, that all persons do observe and keep the said Orders and Directions: and that they present the names of all offenders herein, that they may undergo the severest punishment that may be inflicted upon offenders in this kind.  
X And lastly, it is ordered, that if any person shall refuse to obey these Orders, or any of them; or to be ordered by the said Churchwardens, Constables and Overseers, Watchers and Warders, or any of them, in any matter hereby given them in charge; or shall resist them, or any of them; or maintain, or rescue any offender herein, that then the said Constables shall commit such offenders to the Gaol, there to remain until they be released by their competent Judge, and be bound with sufficient Sureties to their good behaviour.  
God save the King.
