It is not however prohibited to others, and such as are concerned with the Passengers to furnish them Victuals, provided all passes through the _Prior_’s Hands, and none of the Rules of Precaution are eluded: The _Prior’s_ superintend these Victuallers, to prevent Fraud; and if such Exactness is observed, that Passengers suffer no Inconvenience or Uneasiness, still a greater Attention is exerted, if by Chance any one of them should be sick: For the _Prior_ must forthwith declare the Case; and the First Physician of the Magistrate is immediately sent to, and the most scrupulous Observation is made of any Disorder, whose Symptoms should be doubtful. The same Rule is observed towards any Sick in the Ships; the Patient growing worse, nothing is with-held for preparing him to die well; there being a Church in the _Lazaretto_, &c. If the Sick would dispose of any of their Effects, the Priest that serves for Chaplain, acts as a Notary in Default of the _Prior_; but he cannot be appointed either Executor, or Heir, no more than any other Officer of the _Lazaretto_; and they only can serve as Witnesses: But if the dying Person should desire a Publick Notary, it is granted by the Magistrate, whenever the Times and Conjunctures will allow of it. Every Death must be immediately communicated, though it be of a known Distemper; nor can the Corpse be moved, until (even after Death) it has been visited by the Chief Physician, to see if any Pestilential Marks were come out upon it: It is buried in a Church-yard belonging to the _Lazaretto_: And in Burying, no Hands are employed, but those in the same Quarantine he died in, digging a Hole at least two Fathom deep. Such Circumspection is used, if the Distemper and the Death proceed from natural Causes: But the least Appearance of any Thing infectious, makes it much greater; for as soon as ever it is known, the sick Person is separated from the others in Quarantine with him, who are obliged to begin again a more rigorous Quarantine; dividing them as much as possible one from the other; which, in Case of another Accident, is to become a Third Quarantine for every one. And the sick Person being assisted with the utmost Caution and Care, the Corpse is buried in Lime. Those that die in the Ship are buried in the same Manner. Of all that belongs to the Deceased, the _Prior_ takes an exact Inventory in Presence of the Guardian, and two or three Witnesses; which is adjudged by the Magistrate to the lawful Heirs. On Board the Ships, the Guardians do those Parts.
