The Oath of the Scavengers.

Ye shall swear, that ye shall diligently o-
versee that the Pavements within your
Ward be well and sufficiently repaired,
and not made too high in noysance of your
Neighbours; And that the Ways, Streets
and Lanes, be cleansed of Dung, and all
manner of Filth, for the honesty of this City:
And that all the Chimnies and Furnaces be
of Stone or Brick, sufficiently and defensive-
ly made against peril of Fire. And if ye find
any the contrary, ye shall shew it to the Al-
derman of your Ward, so that the Alderman
may ordain for the amendment thereof. And
thus ye shall do, as God you help.

God save the King.

Printed by Samuel Roycroft, Printer to the Honourable
City of LONDON.
