The captions read: "The Ground Platt of ye Kings Bath at high water holds 345 Tuns 3 hog. 20 Gall.  The Ground Platt of ye Queens Bath at high water holds 81 Tuns 1 hog. 30 Gall. The Ground Platt of ye Cross Bath at high water holds 52 Tuns 3 Hog. 16 Gall. The Hott Bath at high water holds 53 Tuns 2 Hog. 11 Gall. The Beggers or Lazars Bath." <i>Lazar</i> was an old term for a leper, most of whom were forced to depend on their family or the church or to beg instead of having any trade themselves. The last being unmeasured, the others hold 480 tuns, 0 hogsheads, and 3 gallons on the assumption that the hogshead is a quarter tun and Moll's tun held 252 gallons. The gallons of Moll's era varied widely, but the modern equivalent would be somewhere between 500,000–625,000 liters.<br><br><b>Notes:</b> London: Sold by H.
