A true bill of the whole number that hath died in the City of London, the city of Westminster, the city of Norwich, and divers other places, since the time this last sickness of the plague began in either of them, to this present month of October the 20. day, 1603. With a relation of many visitations by the plague, in sundry other foreign Countries.  
IT is no doubt that the corruption of the air, together with uncleanly and unwholesome keeping of dwelling, where many are pestered together, as also the not observing to have fires private & publicly made as well within houses, as without in the streets, at times when the air is infected, are great occasions to increase corrupt and pestilent diseases. Neither can it be denied, that the over-boldnes of many pressing into infected places, and the lewdness of others with sores upon them, presuming into the open air, some of wilfulness, but truly many of necessity, contaminateth & corrupteth divers: as the Leprosy, the Pocks, and sundry such unclean diseases do: as by drinking, lying in company, and other such means, where pure complexions and clean bloods are defiled with such as are putrefied: and therefore carefully to be avoided. But all these are accidental, and rather effects then the cause.  
In the year of Christ, 81. and in the year 188. there continued a great time a plague in Rome, of which there daily died two thousand people.  
In the year 254. fifteen provinces of the Roman Empire, were in a manner consumed with the pestilence.  
In the year 530. there died in Constantinople five thousand a day, and divers times ten thousand: and at that time, in some other parts of Gréce, there were not sufficient living men left to bury their dead.  
And in the year ●…69. there fell such a plague in Constantinople, that there died in six months' spa●…, 7. hundred thousand persons, and the year following fell such a famine, that a penny loaf of bread of English money, was worth a crown of gold: by reason whereof, the people died as fast then of the famine, as they did before of the plague.  
In the year 540. there began an universal plague all over the world, that continued 50. years with great violence. And in the year 1348. in Paris in france, there died a hundred thousand people of the Plague.  
In the year 1359. so great a pestilence there was in Italy, that there were scarce ten left of a thousand. And in the year 1521. there died in Rome a hundred thousand of the pestilence.  
In the years 1576. and 77. in Milan, Padua, and Venice, there fell a hundred thousand in every City: and in Bohemia (being but a small Kingdom) there died three hundred thousand the same time.  
Soon after the conquest of King William, Duke of Normandy, when the people were subdued to him, and the Knight's fees rated which he had made, and himself placed with crown and sceptre, he took number of the acres of land in all the realm, and of all the people, and of all the cattle: after which fell so fore a plague, that the people died in such number that tillage decayed, and famine ensued, with rot of cattle, that men were feign to eat flesh of dogs, cats, & mice. A fearful example for Princes.  
In the reign of King Edward the third, there fell a very great pestilence in the East-Indies, among the Tartarians, Saracens, & Turks, which lasted the space of seven years: through the fear whereof, many of the Heathens willingly offered themselves to become Christians. And shortly after, by reason of passengers from one Province to another, the same pestilence was dispersed in many Christian Kingdoms, & amongst other places, brought into England: where it was so forcible all over the Land, that not only men, but also beasts, birds, and fishes were smitten therewith, and found dead with botches upon them. Also among men, the number that were left alive, were scarely sufficient to bury their dead. At which time, with the rest that then died of the plague, Henry Duke of Lancaster, Blanch Duchess of Lancaster, and the Earl of Warwick ended their lives. So that in one year, in a little plot of ground of 13. acre's compass, then called Spittle-croft, and now the , was buried fifty thousand persons, besides all them that were then buried in the Churchyards, and divers places in the fields.  
Also in Barbary, Alexandria, Tripoli, and in Constantinople, this last year 1602. fell so grievous a plague, that there died three thousand a day for a long time together.  
Our visitations, though our sins exceed, have been more gentle. For in the first great plague in our memory after the loss of Newhaven, from the first of january 1562. to Decemb. 1563. there died of the plague, twenty thousand, one hundred, thirty six.  
And in the last great visitation, from the 20. of December 1592. to the 23. of the same month in the year 1593. died in all 25886. of the plague in and about London, 15003. And in the year before, 2000  
God of his mercy, as he did then, hold his heavy hand from us, and give us true repentance, the only mean to win his grace toward us.  
And now in this present visitation which it pleaseth God to strike us with, there hath died from the 17. of December 1602. to the 14. of july 1603. the whole number in London and the liberties, 4314. Whereof of the plague, 3310. The rest are set down as they have followed weekly.
