B. G. (Benjamin Guy) Babington translation

When care was not taken that the hands and feet were kept under the clothes they died, and their bodies became as black as a coal all over, and were covered with vesicles, and stunk so, that it was necessary to bury them deep in the earth by reason of the stench. Staphorst, Part II. Vol. I. p. 83.
