People subsist by their daily Labour, no sooner shall the =Plague= have broke out among them, but the sick Families, and all their Neighbours likewise, if not relieved by the Publick, shall be abandoned to perish by =Want=, unless the Progress of the Distemper put a shorter Period to their Lives. THIS Observation, that the_ Plague _usually begins among the =Poor=, was the Reason, why I did not make any Difference in my Directions for =removing the Sick=, in regard to their different Fortunes, when I first gave my Thoughts upon this Subject: which however, to prevent Cavils, I have at present done; and have shewn what Method ought to be taken, if by some unusual Chance, the =Plague= should at the beginning enter a wealthy Family. And, in this Case, I have advised nothing, which I would not most readily submit to my self: For I should much rather chuse to be thus removed from my Dwelling, with the Distemper upon me, to save my Family, than they, by being shut up with me, should be all exposed to perish. And as this Way of treating diseased Families is the most compassionate, that can be devised with any regard to the restraining the Progress of the Distemper; so it is still much preferable to what was formerly practised amongst us, on other Accounts. For, according to what I have advised, it is only required, to =remove some few= Families at the beginning of the Disease: whereas the Method of =shutting up= Houses was continued through the whole Course of the Sickness. Perhaps the Plague, under this Management, may not reach half a Score Families: I have given Instances, where it has thus been stopt in =One=. WHAT relates to the inclosing =Infected= Places with =Lines=, I have so regulated, that no body can be subjected to any Degree of Hardship thereby: for I have provided, that free Liberty be given to every one, that pleases, to depart from the =Infected= Place, without being put to any other Difficulty, than the Performance of a short =Quarantaine= of about three Weeks, in some Place of Safety. So that no one shall be compelled to continue in the infected Town, whom his own Circumstances will not confine.
