Nothing is t00 outrageous or criminal for them to fay or do 1o thefe Futs ; but as the Beginning of their Frenzy is eafily difcoverable by their glaring Eyes, inflamed Countenances, and rapid Motions ; the Company, as Leuiervators of Peace (which,by the Way, cvery Man &, "ill the Authority of a Magiftrate canbe procured) {hoald forcibly feize thefe ! e themin ths nean Time, infome dark Clofer, Vault, or Coal Hole.
