"At that point the horrifying sickness entered the seacoasts from Southampton, and came to Bristol, and there practically the entire quality of the town passed on, struck so to speak by sudden demise. There passed on at Leicester in the little area of St. Leonard more than 380, in the ward of Holy Cross more than 400; in the area of S. Margaret of Leicester more than 700; thus in every area an extraordinary number. At that point the priest of Lincoln gave general energy to all and each minister to hear admissions, and exculpate with full and whole specialist aside from in matters of obligation, in which case the withering man, in the event that he could, ought to pay the obligation while he lived, or others ought to positively satisfy that obligation from his property after his demise. Around the same time there was an incredible torment of sheep wherever in the domain so that in one place there kicked the bucket in one pasturage more than 5,000 sheep, thus spoiled that neither brute nor feathered creature would touch them. Also, there were little costs for everything because of the dread of death. For there were not very many who thought about wealth or anything else.... Sheep and steers went meandering over fields and through products, and there was nobody to go and drive or accumulate them for there was such an absence of hirelings, to the point that nobody comprehended what he should do. Wherefore many products died in the fields for need of somebody to assemble them. The Scots, knowing about the brutal epidemic of the English, trusted it had come to them from the avenging hand of God, and- - as it was generally detailed in England- - promised when they needed to swear, "By the foul demise of England."
Then the ruler sent declaration that gatherers and different workers ought not take more than they had been acclimated to take (in pay). Be that as it may, the workers were so lifted up and tenacious that they would not tune in to the ruler's charge, but rather on the off chance that anybody wished to have them he needed to give them what they needed, and either lose his products of the soil, or fulfill the desires of the laborers.
After the epidemic, numerous structures, extraordinary and little, fell into vestiges in each city for absence of occupants, in like manner numerous towns and villas got to be distinctly devastate, not a house being left in them, all having kicked the bucket who stayed there; and it was plausible that numerous such towns could never be possessed. In the winter taking after there was such a need of hirelings in work of assorted types, that one would barely trust that in times past there had been such a need. Thus all necessities turned out to be so much dearer."
