ALSO, if there be any Man within this Ward, that will not help, aid, nor succour the Constables, Beadles, and other Ministers of this City in keeping of the Peace, and arrest the Evil-doers with rearing of Hue and Cry.

ALSO, If there be any Huckster of Ale and Beer, that commonly useth to receive any Apprentices, Servants, Artificers, or Labourers, that commonly use to play at the Dice, Cards, or Tables, contrary to the form of the Statute in that case ordained and provided.

ALSO, if there be any Inholder, Taverner, Brewer, Huckster, or other Victualler, that hold open their Houses after the Hour limited by the Maior.

ALSO, if any Parish Clerk do ring the Bell, called the Curfue Bell, after Curfue rungen at the Churches of Bow, Barking Church, and St. Giles without Cripplegate.

ALSO, ye shall enquire if any Putour, that is to say, Man-Bawd, or Woman-Bawd, common Hazerdours, Contectour, Maintainer of Quarrels, Champartours, or Embracers of Inquests, or other common Misdoers be dwelling within this Ward, and present their Names.

ALSO, if any Bawd, common Strumpet, common Adulterer, Witch or common Scold be dwelling within this Ward.

AND here I must insert the great Care the Governours of the City have in former times used against such loose Persons, Bawds, Harlots, and Inticers of Young Folks to their Wickednesses. Which Evils they have endeavoured to restrain, after Presentments thereof, and Proof, by Imprisonment, open Shame, and Disgrace, and sometimes Banishment for ever out of the City: and that accompanied with all the Marks of Infamy possible. This will appear by two Examples, the one in the Beginning of King Henry the Eighth's Reign, the other in that of King Edward the Sixth. Which are taken out of the City Records, and kindly communicated to me by one of the Clerks there.
