He has nothing to say of cleaning bodies, but clearly there were rules for personal hygiene too. In Leiden’s Doelensteeg a plaque recording establishment in 1650 of an almshouse there for elderly women by the pious Eva van Hoogeveen states that residents were required to bathe themselves at least once each month.
