though_o thanks_o be_v to_o god_n pestilence_n have_v not_o be_v very_o fatal_a of_o late_a year_n and_o we_o observe_v from_o our_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n that_o the_o number_n of_o the_o decease_a be_v great_o augment_v for_o in_o the_o year_n 1604._o there_o die_v 4323_o and_o 895_o of_o the_o plague_n but_o in_o the_o year_n 1659._o there_o die_v 14720_o and_o 36_o of_o the_o plague_n and_o yet_o we_o observe_v near_o the_o same_o number_n of_o person_n bear_v and_o christen_v both_o year_n so_o that_o the_o disproportion_n be_v near_o nine_o thousand_o in_o a_o year_n in_o about_o sixty_o year_n distance_n we_o may_v observe_v in_o the_o space_n of_o sixty_o year_n so_o small_a a_o spot_n of_o ground_n as_o a_o churchyard_n swallow_v up_o a_o whole_a parish_n i_o know_v a_o old_a sexton_n in_o london_n who_o tell_v i_o he_o live_v to_o bury_v his_o parish_n almost_o three_o time_n over_o as_o one_o generation_n come_v on_o the_o stage_n another_o go_v off_o and_o very_o evident_a it_o be_v that_o more_o die_v now_o in_o a_o state_n of_o childhood_n than_o in_o former_a age_n we_o lick_v new_a body_n off_o our_o trencher_n once_o in_o seven_o year_n and_o the_o very_a fear_n of_o a_o clymacterical_a year_n have_v kill_v some_o who_o have_v not_o understand_v how_o groundless_a such_o a_o fear_n be_v in_o the_o day_n of_o ancient_a time_n it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n to_o hear_v of_o the_o death_n of_o a_o young_a child_n according_a unto_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o nature_n some_o of_o the_o jewish_a doctor_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o son_n die_v of_o a_o natural_a death_n before_o his_o father_n for_o near_o three_o thousand_o year_n after_o the_o creation_n but_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n be_v observe_v and_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v first_o die_v first_o until_o terah_n time_n who_o be_v the_o first_o that_o teach_v the_o people_n to_o make_v image_n of_o clay_n and_o to_o corrupt_v divine_a worship_n with_o idolatry_n and_o as_o a_o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n his_o son_n haran_n be_v snatch_v away_o before_o he_o and_o moses_n observe_v that_o haran_n die_v before_o his_o father_n terah_n in_o the_o land_n of_o his_o nativity_n and_o we_o find_v it_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o great_a judgement_n that_o the_o male_a heir_n of_o eli_n family_n as_o soon_o as_o bear_v die_v for_o many_o generation_n so_o that_o a_o old_a man_n can_v not_o be_v see_v of_o his_o posterity_n and_o we_o find_v the_o good_a woman_n expostulate_v passionate_o with_o the_o prophet_n when_o she_o say_v be_v thou_o come_v to_o call_v my_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n and_o to_o slay_v my_o son_n every_o age_n have_v its_o peculiar_a disease_n in_o the_o state_n of_o infancy_n life_n be_v like_o a_o spark_n

expose_v to_o death_n every_o minute_n the_o middle_a age_n be_v apt_a to_o lend_v its_o help_a hand_n to_o the_o use_n of_o remedy_n but_o when_o we_o consider_v how_o many_o new_a distemper_n
