A18922	Henoch Clapham his demaundes and answeres touching the pestilence methodically handled, as his time and meanes could permit.	Clapham, Henoch.; Re., Pere.	1604 (1604)	STC 5343; ESTC S108006	28,520	38

infect that is beget the Same and as dangerous effect in another for many things ●e noysom that be not infectious Fourthly that the Angells stroke is Super●aturall it may appeare from the meanes whereby it is stayed The meanes by Prayer and the offring vp our selues a living Sacrifice which David ran vnto in Sam 24. He seeing the Angell smyting the people in ver 17. and not the people infecting one another he humbles him selfe offring his lyfe few such Governors for the ransome of his people who are indeed A Kings glory Pro. 14 28. That this holy Interpellation and not Gallens Northeren winds breathing the Chambers was the meanes whereby that Pestilence DEBER was stayed the Angels hand staying to smyte and longer To that purpose One by authoritie thus writeth This noysom● Pestilēce in 2. Sam. 24. ceaseth here as we see but by whose meanes Did tyme weare it out or did the Phisitian cure it or did a fine devise remooue it no no it was done only by the Commaundement of God enioyning the Angell to stay his hand This consideration moveth also another Domestick Preacher vpon Nombers 16. 46. not to teach Physicall but Metaphysicall perfumes for putting away this sorte of Pest. Amongst other things thus he writes If the cause of this Infection were Elementarie why must holy fier bee taken from the Alter Fier out of the Chimney would purifie that A●terwards Let euery one therefore bring his Censer that is his heart vnto the Lord an hallowed and Sanctified vessell for this purpose to offer vp incense of pray●r vnto God a vessell layde vp in the holy of Holyes The Medicine so being Spirituall Supernaturall it remaynes as afore that the stroke is not infectious Lastly the absolute mortalitie of the Angels stroke doth argue i● not to be infectious For if it were then every pestilenced person must dye without such a supernaturall and miraculous recoverye as wherewith Hezekiah was revived But as none will graunt such a communitie of Miracle so all must graunt the Angels stroke not to infect another with the same or like That the Angels stroke is absolutely deading in his nature it may appeare once in that no one smitten with DEBER is read to haue recovered life For Hezekiah he was first a dead man in respect of his diseases nature els Isa●ah● message were vntrue howsoever the humbled King was afterwardes miraculously restored and yet his malady not DEBER in the text but a sicknes to death howsoever not without his Boile or swelling there termed Shechin one with the sixt plague inflicted on Aegypt in Exod. 9. 10. But DEBER for terme one with the first plague Englished A moraine whereof no Beast smitten escaped Secondly it is to be gathered from the 2. Chro. 21. where the Angel is sent to Ierusalem LEHASHCHITHAH to corrupt it namely to death for SHACHATH implyeth corruption taking head to the death and graue Thirdly the Angells stroke appeareth to be deadly from the Epithets giuen to it in Psal. 91. where it is termed a Lyon an Aspe a Dragon who naturally devoure and poyson to the death Such is the iudgment of some Domestick writers authorized by the Sea of London so to teach and print For iudgement of foraigners take the learned Mollerus approved of the Vniversitie of Witteberge and his labours printed at Geneva who in the 91. Psalme so vrgeth the Epithets meaning In specialty saith he I take the Prophet willingly alludeth to the Pest in these Appellations For it is not to be doubted but he had respect to the nature of these Beastes vt vim veneni significantius exprimeret for more significant expressing the force of the poison So farre He. Whereby also may appeare the stroke not to be infectious seeing the corruption in a man so stoong and poysoned of Aspe or Dragon it sendeth out of that body no s●ch ●avour or power as whereby the same evill and so dangerous an effect can be begotten in another not so stoong of the serpent And herevpon it is that the same Learned Man so well as others doeth vnderstande that Psalme to be penned vpon Davids deliverance in Sam. 24. and the Angell to be that Fowler in Psalme 91. 3. whose particular act is to pitch the same Pest-snare and so to strangle people as the Fowler doth birdes And so as afore the stroke deadly and vn-infectious But because our people are so infidelious touching the Angels stroke it pleaseth God somtymes to let the smitten feele a sensible blow and both he and others playnely to see the print of a blew hande vppon the place so smitten This indeed was flouted at in my booke as if there were no such thing But lett vs heare another Writer of their owne Authorizing thus he writes Because the Lords power and might more appeares is more manisest in this great evil then in any other I thinke it not fabulous what I haue heard som reporte that they haue seene as it were the print of a hand vpon the Armes and other partes of the body of sundry smitten with the Pestilence So farre He. Wherewith would be noted that no one so printed doth escape death so far as I could ever heare nor yet that pest●print beget the like in any of the beholders and so not infectious Thus if men would haue vnderstood them selues but Nebuchadnetzar had forgot his dreame Clapham should not haue beene so vnbrotherly and vncivilly entreated for teaching the Angels stroke to be Supernaturall and in his nature not infectious But many supposing the Doctrine I taught herein to haue no proppes from some other Teachers to whom Sectary-wyse they were addicted they holding faith which Saint Iames forbiddeth in respect of persons they so in their blind zeale were helping to hammer my Chaynes adding affliction to my bondes Heavenly Father forgiue them for they knew not what they did Quere Whither or no is that Plague infectious which ariseth immediatly from some corruption of Nature CHAP. IIII. Answ. IN his owne nature it is infectious howsoeuer somtymes bridled of God from infecting as the Lyons naturally devouring howsoeuer the Creator did bridle that Creature from touching of Daniel And this to be vnderstood not only of Corruption following open knowen naturall causes but also as afore of that muddy corruption raysed by the vn-infectiue miraculous stroke of the Angell for corruptiō can beget nothing but the same or the like corruption or otherwise be noisome according as the Subiect it worketh vpon be more or lesse thervnto affected This in my Epistle vniustly traduced I teach againe and againe In the Addition to the first Section there I say thus This kinde of plague of pestilence is of him namely Galen termed Loimos respecting only bodyes bursting out in corruption which may be cause sometimes of corrupting bodyes specially such as are inclinable to and capable of such corruption Then to the second Section this The
