The Mourning-Cross or England's Lord have Mercy upon Us.

To which is likewise added A Necessary Prayer for this Present Time London is situated as pleasantly as Sodom and her sister Cities before they sunk even for the same sins that we have committed for the sin of Sodom saith the Prophet Ezechiel was pride fulness of bread and contempt of the poor That these sins reign in London who can deny To them adde Fulness of Drink for therein we exceed the ●●●tions that within these fifty years we hated for Drunkenness And I doubt that unnameable sin of Sodomy is used in too many places of the City Yet London stands and so God grant with his mercy it long may In the City called the Grand Caire there is a Plague once every seven years which cometh with such fierceness that the most part of the people there do die thereof and divers of them that remain alive lose their eye-sight with the vapours and great heat which cometh from the ground In the year 254. fifteen Provinces of the Roman Empire were in a manner consumed with the Pestilence In the yea● 530. there dyed in Constantinople five thousand a day and divers times ten thousand and at that time in some other parts of Greece there were not sufficient living men left to bury their dead And in the year 1569. there fell such a Plague in Constantinople that there dyed in six Months space seven hundred thousand persons and the year following fell such a Famine that a penny loaf of Bread of English money was worth a Crown of Gold by reason whereof the people dyed as fast then of the Famine as before of the Plague In the year 540. there began an Universal plague all over the that continued 50. years with great violence In the year 1348. in Paris in France there dyed a hundred thousand people of the Plague In the year 1359. so great a Pestilence there was in Italy that there were scarce ten left of a thousand In the year 1521. there dyed in Rome a 100000. of the Pestilence In the years 1576. and 77. in Millan Padua and Venice there fell a hundred thousand in every City and in Bohemia being but a small Kingdom there dyed three hundred thousand the same time In the Raign of King Edward the third there fell a very great Pestilence in the East-Indies among the Tartarians Saracens and Turks which lasted the space of seven years through the fear whereof many of the Heathens willingly offered themselves to become Christians And shortly after by reason of Passengers from one Province to another the same Pestilence was dispersed in many Christian-Kingdoms and amongst other places ●rought into England where it was so forcible all over the Land that not onely Men but also Beasts Birds and Fishes were smitten therewith and sound dead with Botches upon them Also among men the numbers that were left alive were scarcely sufficient to bury their dead At which time with the rest that then died of the Plague Henry Duke of Lancaster Blanch Dutchess of Lancaster and the Earl of Warwick ended their lives So that in one year in a little plot of ground of thirteen Acres compass then called Spittle-croft and now the Charter-house was buried fifty thousand persons besides all them that were buried in the Church-yards and divers places in the fields Yet our Visitations though our sins exceed have been more gentle It is to be observed That from the 25. of December 1602. unto the 22. of December 1603. there died of all Diseases within London and the Liberties thirty eight thousand two hundred forty four whereof of the Plague thirty thousand five hundred seventy eight and the next year following London was cleer of that Infection and then were all the Shires in England grievously visited Let the Country-people especially ☞ Note the Work of God The particular numbers in each year in London and the Liberties of all Diseases are as followeth 1591. 1592.     total Pl.
