a_o direction_n concern_v the_o plague_n or_o pestilence_n for_o pooore_n and_o rich._n the_o plague_n which_o be_v call_v of_o the_o greek_n epidemia_n and_o in_o latin_a lues_fw-la pestis_fw-la or_o pestilentia_fw-la and_o i_o a_o stranger_n and_o a_o german_n who_o many_o time_n have_v be_v employ_v in_o this_o sickness_n as_o at_o cullen_n ostend_n amsterdam_n and_o many_o other_o town_n more_o may_v with_o great_a credit_n bear_v i_o witness_v of_o it_o so_o i_o can_v say_v &_o write_v of_o this_o fearful_a disease_n more_o than_o any_o other_o can_v the_o cause_n be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v a_o punishment_n from_o god_n whereof_o many_o example_n may_v be_v set_v down_o which_o i_o leave_v for_o brevity_n sake_n for_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n which_o belong_v to_o divine_n the_o other_o cause_n be_v that_o the_o upper_a part_n have_v infect_v the_o astris_fw-la with_o a_o distemperature_n where_o through_o the_o plague_n have_v his_o domination_n into_o our_o body_n whereof_o we_o leave_v this_o beside_o to_o our_o learned_a philosopher_n now_o to_o come_v to_o my_o intent_n which_o be_v out_o of_o love_n more_o than_o for_o gain_v for_o to_o take_v such_o a_o dangerous_a

something_o in_o this_o time_n of_o sickness_n i_o have_v say_v nothing_o all_o this_o while_n but_o find_v the_o sickness_n increase_v more_o and_o more_o do_v determine_v to_o show_v my_o best_a skill_n for_o it_o thus_o through_o my_o experience_n where_o i_o have_v in_o former_a time_n put_v my_o trust_n in_o god_n &_o with_o his_o help_a hand_n save_v many_o a_o man_n life_n first_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o forgive_v your_o sin_n and_o after_o use_v the_o natural_a mean_n which_o god_n have_v ordain_v to_o every_o sickness_n and_o as_o well_o for_o this_o sickness_n as_o for_o any_o other_o i_o have_v a_o preseruative_n which_o every_o body_n shall_v find_v by_o i_o also_o a_o certain_a precious_a pill_n to_o keep_v in_o your_o mouth_n when_o you_o go_v abroad_o or_o perceive_v
