[several lines lost] [ ] much as possible [ ] hogs outside of these [ ] the same, (as each are kept on his [ ], or otherwise, that they should be [ ringed ] and crossed, so that they won’t cause damage in gardens and orchards; also the necessary order to be drafted should provide that no privies discharge in the street, as such causes a great stench.

The honorable burgomasters agree to propose this to their bench, and to provide in both the one and the other as soon as possible, and to draft a good order for that. Dated as above.
