Whereas Vice, Debauchery,<del>and</del>
All Sorts of uncleaness and Fornication, have of late<lb></lb>
greatly revived, (notwithstanding the Co<obscured></obscured>
endable, Zeal and hearty Endeavours of the Worshipfull<lb></lb>
Magistracy of this County to discountenance and Punish the Same,) by means and Occasion<lb></lb>
of many lend and disorderly publick Houses, where vicious and wicked Persons, Night:Walkers,<lb></lb>
and others are entertaind, and constantly resort, for filthy Conversation and Practice; well<lb></lb>
knowing that their Evil Deeds are there Secreted and conceald: Which Practices, So Secretly com<lb></lb>
-mitted in Such Houses, manifestly tend to the Dishonour of Almighty God, And of the<lb></lb>
Christian Religion, to the Ruin of many Youth, and others, And are a reproach to the Inha<lb></lb>
-bitants of this County. We therefore the Grand Jury for the body of this County of Middx,<lb></lb>
