ship_n you_o can_v be_v save_v unless_o these_o tarry_v christ_n also_o though_o he_o well_o know_v that_o his_o hour_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v yet_o do_v he_o more_o than_o once_o withdraw_v himself_o when_o the_o jew_n seek_v to_o kill_v he_o final_o that_o which_o they_o take_v for_o most_o certain_a namely_o that_o happen_v or_o chance_n be_v repugnant_a unto_o the_o sure_a and_o steadfast_a decree_n of_o god_n which_o notwithstanding_o it_o make_v not_o much_o to_o the_o matter_n yet_o who_o will_v grant_v it_o they_o we_o call_v those_o happen_v or_o chance_v cause_n which_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n may_v fall_v out_o unto_o either_o part_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v take_v they_o out_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n i_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o shall_v have_v any_o man_n of_o a_o right_a judgement_n to_o hold_v with_o he_o they_o say_v out_o of_o st._n augustine_n that_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o necessity_n of_o thing_n i_o grant_v so_o far_o as_o pertain_v unto_o the_o end_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o cause_n themselves_o but_o as_o st._n augustine_n say_v very_o well_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o though_o all_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v decree_v shall_v come_v to_o pass_v must_v needs_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o therefore_o they_o come_v to_o pass_v of_o necessary_a cause_n like_v as_o the_o stoic_n do_v false_o conclude_v and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o most_o certain_a and_o most_o plain_a example_n for_o do_v we_o not_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v indeed_o man_n bone_n and_o therefore_o such_o as_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n may_v at_o any_o time_n have_v be_v break_v and_o yet_o indeed_o they_o can_v not_o be_v break_v for_o that_o it_o be_v otherwise_o decree_v by_o god_n therefore_o by_o hap_n and_o chance_n concern_v their_o own_o nature_n they_o be_v not_o break_v when_o as_o notwithstanding_o they_o be_v such_o as_o may_v have_v be_v break_v and_o yet_o by_o god_n decree_n they_o remain_v of_o necessity_n unbroken_a again_o that_o christ_n from_o the_o very_a time_n that_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o our_o human_a nature_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o mortal_a body_n all_o christian_n do_v confess_v therefore_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n he_o may_v have_v be_v slay_v by_o herod_n with_o the_o other_o little_a child_n but_o by_o god_n decree_n he_o can_v not_o therefore_o that_o he_o be_v not_o then_o slay_v fall_v out_o by_o hap_n and_o chance_n if_o you_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o his_o body_n when_o as_o it_o may_v have_v chance_v otherwise_o but_o by_o god_n decree_n he_o can_v no_o more_o be_v slay_v by_o herod_n than_o the_o will_n of_o god_n can_v be_v change_v christ_n when_o he_o be_v carry_v to_o be_v crucify_v be_v then_o undoubted_o of_o such_o health_n that_o he_o need_v not_o at_o that_o time_n to_o have_v die_v he_o die_v therefore_o by_o chance_n if_o you_o do_v consider_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o natural_a death_n and_o yet_o be_v die_v of_o necessity_n if_o you_o look_v to_o the_o unchangeable_a appointment_n of_o his_o father_n because_o his_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o withal_o he_o die_v willing_o because_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o thus_o far_o therefore_o be_v neither_o chance_n nor_o will_v repugnant_a unto_o the_o most_o certain_a decree_n of_o god_n there_o remain_v one_o argument_n take_v from_o experience_n which_o in_o show_n seem_v very_o strong_a yet_o be_v it_o of_o no_o force_n to_o take_v away_o infection_n i_o mean_v to_o prove_v the_o plague_n not_o to_o be_v infectious_a if_o say_v they_o the_o plague_n come_v of_o natural_a cause_n or_o of_o some_o certain_a constellation_n or_o of_o corrupt_a air_n then_o shall_v all_o they_o doubtless_o be_v infect_v which_o dwell_v under_o the_o same_o constellation_n or_o breath_n in_o the_o same_o corrupt_a air_n which_o be_v find_v to_o be_v false_a for_o even_o reason_n itself_o do_v prove_v the_o falsehood_n of_o this_o argument_n for_o who_o be_v so_o unskilful_a that_o know_v not_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o cause_n do_v not_o always_o operate_v alike_o much_o less_o equal_o nay_o that_o the_o effect_n be_v divers_a according_a unto_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o matter_n it_o work_v upon_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_a northwind_n do_v not_o equal_o annoy_v man_n with_o cold_a every_o man_n therefore_o see_v how_o weak_a this_o reason_n be_v but_o let_v we_o grant_v that_o in_o some_o place_n every_o man_n of_o himself_o be_v apt_a to_o receive_v the_o corrupt_a air_n yet_o may_v many_o thing_n happen_v why_o the_o same_o effect_n in_o all_o will_v not_o follow_v as_o for_o example_n one_o man_n take_v a_o preservative_n medicine_n another_o do_v not_o one_o forthwith_o use_v a_o good_a medicine_n another_o very_a late_a or_o never_o last_o that_o which_o be_v the_o principal_a point_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o almighty_a god_n do_v govern_v natural_a cause_n and_o their_o effect_n as_o it_o please_v he_o so_o that_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o infection_n touch_v not_o every_o one_o which_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o it_o as_o it_o be_v write_v psal_n 91._o 6._o neither_o yet_o be_v it_o deadly_a unto_o every_o one_o that_o it_o have_v infect_v like_v as_o poison_n also_o drunken_a be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v write_v mark_v 16._o 18._o therefore_o this_o argument_n also_o be_v not_o of_o force_n to_o prove_v there_o be_v no_o infection_n in_o the_o plague_n because_o that_o many_o which_o keep_v company_n with_o those_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o the_o plague_n be_v not_o take_v and_o contrariwise_o they_o that_o be_v absent_a be_v infect_v as_o if_o the_o poison_n of_o a_o viper_n be_v not_o deadly_a because_o that_o paul_n be_v bite_v of_o one_o feel_v no_o harm_n at_o all_o act_v 28._o 5._o and_o thus_o far_o concern_v infection_n now_o we_o must_v treat_v of_o go_v aside_o for_o so_o i_o have_v rather_o call_v it_o than_o fly_v though_o i_o think_v it_o the_o part_n of_o a_o wiseman_n to_o fly_v peril_n with_o reason_n there_o be_v some_o therefore_o which_o do_v without_o exception_n find_v fault_n with_o go_v aside_o for_o the_o plague_n that_o they_o count_v it_o a_o very_a heinous_a offence_n though_o they_o think_v that_o those_o which_o tarry_v ought_v not_o to_o use_v rashness_n there_o be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n which_o hold_v that_o every_o man_n so_o soon_o as_o the_o plague_n come_v aught_o to_o provide_v for_o himself_o have_v no_o regard_n or_o but_o very_o small_a of_o the_o fellowship_n and_o duty_n which_o christian_n charity_n do_v command_v now_o i_o for_o my_o part_n do_v dissent_n from_o both_o these_o and_o especial_o from_o the_o latter_a as_o have_v most_o lawful_a cause_n but_o ere_o i_o set_v down_o my_o own_o judgement_n in_o this_o controversy_n let_v we_o hear_v these_o dispute_v the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o thus_o therefore_o they_o which_o think_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o fly_v do_v first_o of_o all_o philosophical_o dispute_v against_o those_o that_o hold_v it_o not_o lawful_a to_o tarry_v at_o all_o they_o allege_v out_o of_o plato_n his_o gorgias_n that_o it_o be_v foolishness_n to_o fear_v death_n and_o that_o he_o can_v seem_v to_o be_v a_o temperate_a person_n which_o fly_v death_n because_o it_o proceed_v of_o too_o much_o delight_n in_o life_n nor_o yet_o to_o be_v a_o just_a man_n for_o that_o he_o which_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o plague_n provide_v for_o himself_o by_o run_v away_o do_v yield_v neither_o to_o god_n nor_o man_n his_o due_n to_o these_o reason_n they_o set_v down_o other_o take_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o that_o they_o think_v not_o well_o of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n by_o who_o unchangeable_a decree_n the_o course_n of_o man_n life_n be_v limit_v that_o they_o distrust_v god_n and_o believe_v not_o his_o promise_n i_o will_v be_v thy_o god_n and_o the_o god_n of_o thy_o seed_n that_o they_o be_v void_a of_o all_o charity_n nay_o and_o more_o of_o all_o natural_a pity_n and_o affection_n that_o they_o tempt_v god_n after_o the_o example_n of_o the_o israelite_n exod._n 17._o 3._o &_o psal_n 78._o 18._o appoint_v god_n by_o what_o manner_n time_n and_o place_n and_o by_o what_o mean_v he_o may_v save_v they_o that_o they_o love_v not_o god_n from_o their_o heart_n for_o be_v enamour_v and_o in_o love_n with_o earthly_a good_n they_o neglect_v and_o be_v careless_a of_o the_o heavenly_a that_o they_o fear_v death_n too_o much_o for_o that_o they_o set_v themselves_o against_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o be_v always_o good_a that_o they_o think_v themselves_o strong_a than_o god_n and_o that_o they_o can_v escape_v his_o hand_n that_o they_o do_v open_o break_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o nature_n by_o
