the_o accompot_n or_o distinction_n of_o the_o casualty_n that_o be_v more_o die_v of_o the_o plague_n than_o be_v account_v for_o under_o that_o name_n which_o allegation_n we_o also_o prove_v thus_o

we_o may_v probable_o suspect_v that_o about_o ¼_n part_v more_o die_v of_o the_o plague_n then_o be_v return_v for_o such_o which_o we_o further_o prove_v by_o nothing_o that_o anno_fw-la 1636._o

whereas_o in_o the_o year_n 1624._o next_o precede_v and_o in_o the_o year_n 1626._o next_o follow_v the_o say_v great_a plague-year_n 1625._o there_o die_v in_o the_o former_a but_o 11_o and_o in_o the_o latter_a but_o 134._o of_o the_o plague_n moreover_o in_o the_o say_a year_n 1625._o the_o plague_n decrease_v from_o its_o utmost_a number_n 4461_o a_o week_n to_o below_o 1000_o within_o six_o week_n 11._o the_o plague_n of_o 1636._o last_v twelve_o year_n in_o eight_o whereof_o there_o die_v 2000_o per_fw-la annum_fw-la one_o with_o another_o and_o never_o under_o 300._o the_o which_o show_v that_o the_o contagion_n of_o the_o plague_n depend_v more_o upon_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o air_n then_o upon_o the_o effluvia_fw-la from_o the_o body_n of_o men._n 12._o which_o also_o we_o prove_v by_o the_o sudden_a jump_n which_o the_o plague_n have_v make_v leap_v in_o one_o week_n from_o 118_o to_o 927_o and_o back_o again_o from_o 993_o to_o 258_o and_o from_o thence_o again_o the_o very_a next_o week_n to_o 852._o the_o which_o effect_n must_v sure_o be_v rather_o attribute_v to_o change_v of_o the_o air_n then_o of_o the_o constitution_n of_o man_n body_n otherwise_o then_o as_o this_o depend_v upon_o that_o 13._o it_o may_v be_v also_o note_v that_o many_o time_n other_o pestilential_a disease_n as_o purple-feaver_n smallpox_n etc._n etc._n do_v forerun_v the_o plague_n a_o year_n two_o or_o three_o for_o in_o 1622_o there_o die_v but_o 8000._o in_o 1623._o 11000_o in_o 24._o about_o 12000_o till_o in_o 1625_o there_o die_v of_o all_o disease_n above_o 54000._o chap._n v._o other_o observation_n upon_o the_o plague_n and_o casualty_n 1._o the_o decrease_v and_o increase_v of_o people_n be_v to_o be_v reckon_v chief_o by_o christen_n because_o few_o bear_v child_n in_o london_n but_o inhabitant_n though_o other_o die_v there_o the_o account_n of_o christen_n be_v well_o keep_v until_o difference_n in_o religion_n occasion_v some_o neglect_n therein_o although_o even_o these_o neglect_v we_o must_v confess_v to_o have_v be_v regular_a and_o proportionable_a 2._o by_o the_o number_n and_o proportion_n of_o christen_n therefore_o we_o observe_v as_o follow_v viz._n first_o that_o when_o from_o december_n 1602_o to_o march_v follow_v there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o plague_n than_o the_o christen_n at_o a_o medium_fw-la be_v between_o 110_o and_o 130_o per_fw-la week_n few_o week_n be_v above_o the_o one_o or_o below_o the_o other_o but_o when_o from_o thence_o to_o july_n the_o plague_n increase_v that_o then_o the_o christen_n decrease_v to_o under_o 90._o second_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o teeming-woman_n die_v or_o flee_v or_o miscarry_v the_o late_a at_o this_o time_n seem_v most_o probable_a because_o even_o in_o the_o say_a space_n between_o march_n and_o july_n there_o die_v not_o above_o twenty_o per_fw-la week_n of_o the_o plague_n which_o small_a number_n can_v neither_o cause_v the_o death_n or_o flight_n of_o so_o many_o woman_n as_o to_o alter_v the_o proportion_n ¼_n part_v low_a 3._o moreover_o we_o observe_v from_o the_o 21_o of_o july_n to_o the_o 21_o of_o october_n the_o plague_n increase_v reduce_v the_o christen_n to_o 70_o at_o a_o medium_fw-la diminish_v the_o above_o proportion_n down_o to_o ⅖_n now_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o must_v be_v fly_v and_o death_n as_o well_o as_o miscarriage_n and_o abortion_n for_o there_o die_v within_o that_o time_n about_o 25000_o whereof_o many_o be_v certain_o woman_n with_o child_n beside_o the_o fright_n of_o so_o many_o die_a within_o so_o small_a a_o time_n may_v drive_v away_o so_o many_o other_o as_o to_o cause_v this_o effect_n 4._o from_o december_n 1624._o to_o the_o middle_n of_o april_n 1625_o there_o die_v not_o above_o 5_o a_o week_n of_o the_o plague_n one_o with_o another_o in_o this_o time_n the_o christen_n be_v one_o with_o another_o 180._o the_o which_o decrease_v gradual_o by_o the_o 22_o of_o september_n to_o 75_o or_o from_o the_o proportion_n of_o 12_o to_o 5_o which_o evident_o square_n with_o our_o former_a observation_n 5._o the_o next_o observation_n we_o shall_v offer_v be_v the_o time_n wherein_o the_o city_n have_v be_v repeopled_n after_o a_o great_a plague_n which_o we_o affirm_v to_o be_v by_o the_o second_o year_n for_o in_o 1627._o the_o christen_n which_o be_v our_o standard_n in_o this_o case_n be_v 8408_o which_o in_o 1624._o next_o precede_v the_o plague_n year_n 1625_o that_o have_v sweep_v away_o above_o 54000_o be_v but_o 8299_o and_o the_o christen_n of_o 1626._o which_o be_v but_o 6701_o mount_v in_o one_o year_n to_o the_o say_v 8408._o 6._o now_o the_o cause_n hereof_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o can_v be_v a_o supply_n by_o procreation_n ergo_fw-la it_o must_v be_v by_o new_a afflux_n to_o london_n out_o of_o the_o country_n 7._o we_o may_v fortify_v this_o assertion_n by_o show_v that_o before_o the_o plague-year_n 1603_o the_o christen_n be_v about_o 6000_o which_o be_v in_o

that_o have_v the_o gout_n be_v say_v to_o be_v long-liver_n and_o therefore_o when_o such_o die_n they_o be_v return_v as_o aged_n 36._o the_o scurvy_a have_v likewise_o increase_v and_o that_o gradual_o from_o 12._o anno_fw-la 1629._o to_o 95._o anno_fw-la 1660._o 37._o the_o tyssick_n seem_v to_o be_v quite_o wear_v away_o but_o that_o it_o be_v probable_a the_o same_o be_v enter_v as_o cough_n or_o consumption_n 38._o ague_n and_o fever_n be_v enter_v promiscuous_o yet_o in_o the_o few_o bill_n wherein_o they_o have_v be_v distinguish_v it_o appear_v that_o not_o above_o one_o in_o 40_o of_o the_o whole_a be_v ague_n 39_o the_o abortive_n and_o stil-born_a be_v about_o the_o twenty_o part_n of_o those_o that_o be_v christen_v and_o the_o number_n seem_v the_o same_o thirty_o year_n ago_o as_o now_o which_o show_v there_o be_v more_o proportion_n in_o those_o year_n then_o now_o or_o else_o that_o in_o these_o latter_a year_n due_a account_n have_v not_o be_v keep_v of_o the_o abortive_n as_o have_v be_v bury_v without_o notice_n and_o perhaps_o not_o in_o church-yard_n 40._o for_o that_o there_o have_v be_v a_o neglect_n in_o the_o account_n of_o the_o christen_n be_v most_o certain_a because_o until_o the_o year_n 1642_o we_o find_v the_o burial_n but_o equal_a with_o the_o christen_n or_o near_o thereabouts_o but_o in_o 1648_o when_o the_o difference_n in_o religion_n have_v change_v the_o government_n the_o christen_n be_v but_o two_o three_o of_o the_o burial_n and_o in_o the_o year_n 1659._o not_o half_o viz._n the_o burial_n be_v 14720._o of_o the_o plague_n but_o 36_o and_o the_o christen_n be_v but_o 5670_o which_o great_a disproportion_n can_v be_v from_o no_o other_o cause_n than_o that_o abovementioned_a for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o same_o grow_v as_o the_o confusion_n and_o change_n grow_v 41._o moreover_o although_o the_o bill_n give_v we_o in_o anno_fw-la 1659._o but_o 5670_o christen_n yet_o they_o give_v we_o 421_o abortive_n and_o 226_o die_v in_o childbed_n whereas_o in_o the_o year_n 1631_o when_o the_o abortive_n be_v 410_o that_o be_v near_o the_o number_n of_o the_o year_n 1659._o the_o christen_n be_v 8288._o wherefore_o by_o the_o proportion_n of_o abortive_n anno_fw-la 1659._o the_o christen_n shall_v have_v be_v about_o 8500_o but_o if_o we_o shall_v reckon_v by_o the_o woman_n die_v in_o childbed_n of_o who_o a_o better_a account_n be_v keep_v then_o of_o stil-borns_a and_o abortive_n we_o shall_v find_v anno_fw-la 1659._o there_o be_v 226_o child-bed_n and_o anno_fw-la 1631_o 112_o viz._n not_o ½_o wherefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o true_a number_n of_o the_o christen_n anno_fw-la 1659._o be_v above_o double_a to_o the_o 5690_o set_v down_o in_o our_o bill_n that_o be_v about_o 11500_o and_o then_o the_o christen_n will_v come_v near_o the_o same_o proportion_n to_o the_o burial_n as_o have_v be_v observe_v in_o former_a time_n 42._o in_o regular_a time_n when_o account_n be_v well_o keep_v we_o find_v that_o not_o above_o three_o in_o 200_o die_v in_o childbed_n and_o that_o the_o number_n of_o abortive_n be_v about_o treble_a to_o that_o of_o the_o woman_n die_v in_o childbed_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v probable_o collect_v that_o not_o one_o woman_n of_o a_o hundred_o i_o may_v say_v of_o two_o hundred_o die_v in_o her_o labour_n for_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v other_o cause_n of_o a_o woman_n die_a within_o the_o month_n than_o the_o hardness_n of_o her_o labour_n 43._o if_o this_o be_v true_a in_o these_o country_n where_o woman_n hinder_v the_o facility_n of_o their_o child-bearing_a by_o affect_a straightning_n of_o their_o body_n then_o certain_o in_o america_n where_o the_o same_o be_v not_o practise_v nature_n be_v little_o more_o to_o

herein_o 44._o before_o we_o quite_o leave_v this_o matter_n we_o shall_v insert_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o account_n of_o christninos_n have_v be_v neglect_v more_o than_o that_o of_o burial_n one_o and_o the_o chief_a whereof_o be_v a_o religious_a opinion_n against_o baptise_v of_o infant_n either_o as_o unlawful_a or_o unnecessary_a if_o this_o be_v the_o only_a reason_n we_o may_v by_o our_o

convince_v of_o the_o need_n of_o baptise_v 45._o a_o second_o reason_n be_v the_o scruple_n which_o many_o public_a minister_n will_v make_v of_o the_o worthiness_n of_o parent_n to_o have_v their_o child_n baptise_a which_o force_v such_o question_v parent_n who_o do_v also_o not_o believe_v the_o necessity_n of_o have_v their_o child_n baptise_a by_o such_o scrupuler_n to_o carry_v their_o

a_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o a_o little_a fee_n be_v to_o be_v pay_v for_o the_o registrie_n 47._o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o number_n of_o heterodox_n believer_n be_v very_o great_a between_o the_o say_a year_n 1650_o and_o 1660_o and_o so_o peevish_a be_v they_o as_o not_o to_o have_v the_o birth_n of_o their_o child_n register_v although_o thereby_o the_o time_n of_o their_o come_n of_o age_n may_v be_v know_v in_o respect_n of_o such_o inheritance_n as_o may_v belong_v unto_o they_o and_o withal_o by_o such_o register_n it_o will_v

that_o we_o shall_v pass_v from_o hence_o to_o some_o inference_n from_o this_o conclusion_n as_o first_o i._o that_o christian_a religion_n prohibit_v polygamy_n be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o the_o

be_v fourteen_o man_n to_o thirteen_o woman_n and_o that_o they_o die_v in_o the_o same_o proportion_n also_o yet_o i_o have_v hear_v physician_n say_v that_o they_o have_v two_o woman_n patient_n
