for_o it_o &_o the_o danger_n be_v pass_v as_o for_o comfortable_a word_n i_o likewise_o acknowledge_v their_o special_a use_n but_o before_o i_o answer_v that_o point_n let_v we_o consider_v how_o

we_o most_o need_v they_o according_a to_o that_o of_o amos_n 12._o where_o a_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n be_v threaten_v to_o despiser_n of_o the_o sabbath_n and_o that_o at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o to_o find_v the_o word_n they_o will_v run_v from_o the_o east_n to_o the_o west_n now_o to_o the_o point_n sith_o all_o sickness_n especial_o the_o plague_n until_o the_o worst_a be_v past_a when_o comfortable_a word_n be_v not_o usual_o in_o great_a request_n make_v we_o unfit_a for_o long_a &_o learned_a discourse_n &_o therefore_o short_a sentence_n may_v through_o god_n blessing_n

12._o so_o when_o we_o be_v sick_a for_o when_o the_o outward_a man_n perish_v 16_o the_o inward_a man_n be_v renew_v so_o that_o we_o often_o hear_v not_o only_o man_n but_o even_a child_n also_o

infect_a from_o the_o sound_n so_o of_o the_o sound_n from_o the_o infect_a profess_v indeed_o i_o confess_v that_o your_o probable_a discourse_n have_v win_v i_o know_v not_o how_o a_o certain_a inclination_n to_o your_o opinion_n but_o yet_o i_o must_v suspend_v my_o resolution_n till_o you_o have_v answer_v certain_a objection_n against_o the_o main_a ground_n of_o your_o opinion_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o they_o let_v i_o have_v but_o one_o word_n with_o you_o about_o burial_n i_o say_v but_o one_o word_n for_o if_o those_o that_o be_v infect_v in_o person_n or_o garment_n be_v to_o keep_v from_o church_n for_o a_o time_n convenient_a and_o if_o friend_n be_v to_o forbear_v resort_v to_o friend_n sick_a of_o the_o plague_n except_o they_o have_v necessary_a cause_n than_o i_o may_v of_o my_o self_n conclude_v that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o throng_v after_o infect_a corpse_n which_o have_v no_o good_a thereby_o without_o some_o reasonable_a cause_n that_o one_o word_n i_o speak_v of_o be_v this_o i_o will_v glad_o know_v if_o i_o may_v obtain_v that_o favour_n your_o judgement_n concern_v the_o direction_n of_o authority_n that_o but_o six_o person_n beside_o the_o minister_n clerk_n and_o bearer_n shall_v accompany_v infect_v corpse_n preach_v i_o dare_v not_o presume_v to_o judge_v of_o the_o determination_n of_o authority_n without_o sufficient_a reason_n which_o i_o want_v in_o this_o case_n but_o rather_o i_o be_o persuade_v according_a to_o that_o i_o be_o command_v by_o these_o word_n honour_v thy_o father_n and_o mother_n 12._o to_o indge_v the_o best_a and_o take_v it_o as_o a_o argument_n that_o authority_n care_v more_o for_o the_o live_n then_o for_o the_o dead_a their_o pomp_n so_o dangerous_a in_o these_o time_n and_o not_o necessary_a as_o wise_a man_n think_v but_o my_o own_o opinion_n be_v this_o i_o can_v wish_v the_o friend_n of_o the_o disease_a will_v respect_v the_o preservation_n of_o life_n more_o than_o compliment_n of_o burial_n but_o i_o utter_o mislike_v that_o infect_a person_n shall_v thrust_v into_o the_o throng_n and_o it_o grieve_v i_o to_o hear_v how_o the_o poor_a sort_n yea_o woman_n with_o young_a child_n will_v flock_v to_o burial_n and_o which_o be_v worse_o stand_v of_o purpose_n over_o open_a grave_n where_o sundry_a be_v bury_v together_o that_o forsooth_o all_o the_o world_n may_v see_v that_o they_o fear_v not_o the_o plague_n this_o perverse_a course_n of_o too_o too_o many_o in_o do_v that_o which_o authority_n forbid_v and_o despise_v that_o which_o authority_n command_v to_o wit_n fast_v and_o prayer_n occasion_v i_o to_o observe_v a_o notable_a proportion_n between_o the_o plague_n &_o the_o wickedness_n of_o this_o time_n by_o which_o proportion_n god_n seem_v to_o teach_v man_n to_o say_v in_o their_o heart_n we_o will_v not_o be_v rule_v neither_o by_o reason_n nor_o authority_n therefore_o be_v so_o many_o as_o it_o be_v distract_v in_o their_o sickness_n and_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o be_v rule_v so_o that_o some_o leap_v out_o of_o the_o window_n and_o some_o run_v into_o the_o thames_n as_o the_o rough_a speech_n of_o joseph_n cause_v his_o brethren_n to_o say_v 21._o as_o we_o will_v not_o hear_v joseph_n so_o this_o man_n will_v not_o hear_v us._n i_o rather_o observe_v

your_o opinion_n it_o be_v write_v 29_o that_o secret_a thing_n belong_v to_o god_n and_o reveil_v thing_n belong_v to_o us._n so_o that_o i_o may_v conclude_v that_o since_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n touch_v life_n or_o death_n be_v secret_a before_o the_o event_n and_o it_o be_v reveal_v that_o the_o plague_n be_v contagious_a therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o howsoever_o it_o be_v true_a that_o none_o can_v die_v of_o the_o plague_n but_o such_o as_o be_v special_o appoint_v thereunto_o yet_o there_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v that_o bold_a and_o free_a resort_n to_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o the_o plague_n as_o to_o those_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o any_o other_o disease_n to_o confirm_v this_o point_n further_o thus_o i_o argue_v a_o wanton_a or_o unnecessary_a put_n of_o god_n to_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o power_n or_o special_a providence_n be_v a_o tempt_a of_o the_o almighty_a as_o may_v appear_v by_o these_o place_n psal_n 78._o 18._o 19_o esa_n 7._o 12._o math._n 4._o 6._o 7._o but_o to_o run_v into_o danger_n of_o the_o plague_n without_o necessary_a cause_n as_o they_o do_v who_o resort_n as_o bold_o and_o free_o to_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o the_o plague_n as_o to_o those_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o any_o other_o disease_n be_v wanton_o and_o unnecessary_o to_o put_v god_n to_o manifest_v his_o power_n and_o special_a providence_n in_o preserve_v they_o from_o the_o plague_n therefore_o to_o run_v into_o danger_n of_o the_o plague_n without_o necessary_a cause_n as_o they_o do_v who_o resort_n as_o bold_o etc._n etc._n be_v a_o tempt_a of_o the_o almighty_a the_o assumption_n or_o second_o proposition_n i_o prove_v by_o the_o four_o of_o matthew_n verse_n 6._o 7._o where_o satan_n will_v have_v persuade_v christ_n to_o cast_v himself_o down_o from_o a_o pinnacle_n of_o the_o temple_n upon_o this_o presumption_n that_o the_o angel_n have_v charge_n to_o preserve_v he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n where_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v knowledge_n of_o satan_n his_o abuse_v the_o psalm_n 91._o by_o he_o allege_v in_o put_v in_o these_o word_n at_o any_o time_n for_o these_o in_o all_o thy_o way_n but_o allege_v another_o scripture_n forbid_v we_o to_o tempt_v the_o lord_n our_o god_n whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o to_o presume_v upon_o god_n protection_n when_o we_o be_v not_o in_o our_o way_n or_o to_o neglect_v mean_n as_o the_o stair_n of_o the_o pinnacle_n be_v be_v to_o tempt_v the_o almighty_a and_o that_o without_o necessary_a cause_n to_o run_v into_o danger_n as_o satan_n will_v have_v have_v christ_n to_o have_v do_v be_v to_o be_v out_o of_o our_o way_n therefore_o to_o run_v into_o danger_n of_o the_o plague_n without_o a_o necessary_a cause_n be_v to_o tempt_v the_o almighty_a thus_o you_o see_v that_o from_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n you_o can_v conclude_v that_o either_o the_o plague_n be_v not_o contagious_a or_o we_o need_v not_o shun_v it_o more_o than_o other_o disease_n indeed_o upon_o that_o ground_n he_o that_o have_v a_o necessary_a cause_n of_o resort_n where_o the_o plague_n be_v may_v thus_o argue_v it_o be_v the_o reveal_v will_n of_o god_n that_o i_o be_o in_o my_o way_n and_o therefore_o have_v a_o promise_n of_o preservation_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o god_n glory_n and_o my_o good_a and_o it_o be_v not_o reveal_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v infect_v therefore_o i_o may_v proceed_v with_o hope_n and_o comfort_n i_o say_v more_o from_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n manifest_v the_o beléever_n ought_v in_o every_o affliction_n to_o conclude_v thus_o howsoever_o i_o use_v mean_n as_o david_n do_v to_o prevent_v this_o affliction_n 23._o yet_o perceive_v by_o the_o event_n that_o god_n have_v decree_v it_o i_o will_v by_o his_o grace_n take_v it_o patient_o as_o david_n also_o do_v thus_o for_o your_o satisfaction_n i_o have_v say_v that_o which_o i_o think_v sufficient_a to_o the_o second_o conclusion_n but_o yet_o if_o you_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o reply_v or_o any_o other_o argument_n to_o object_n against_o the_o infection_n of_o the_o plague_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o in_o any_o case_n to_o hold_v it_o in_o prof._n if_o i_o stagger_v and_o stumble_v before_o how_o be_v it_o likely_a that_o i_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o reencounter_v now_o in_o this_o skirmish_n i_o be_o therefore_o to_o seek_v supply_n from_o another_o objection_n which_o if_o you_o overthrow_n i_o must_v yield_v for_o i_o remember_v no_o more_o but_o before_o i_o assault_v you_o with_o that_o perceive_v by_o your_o discourse_n that_o shun_v the_o plague_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o preservation_n as_o be_v within_o the_o danger_n thereof_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o infection_n i_o pray_v your_o judgement_n touch_v fly_a into_o the_o country_n for_o fear_n of_o infection_n which_o some_o justify_v 3._o by_o these_o word_n of_o solomon_n the_o prudent_a man_n see_v the_o plague_n and_o hide_v himself_o other_o say_v this_o place_n be_v misconstrue_v yea_o some_o preach_v against_o fly_v into_o the_o country_n because_o of_o the_o plague_n preach_v if_o you_o have_v say_v a_o cause_n in_o stead_n of_o the_o cause_n you_o have_v more_o right_o report_v my_o mind_n for_o i_o have_v deliver_v sundry_a cause_n or_o mean_n of_o infection_n and_o preservation_n among_o the_o rest_n i_o think_v go_v and_o abide_v in_o the_o country_n to_o be_v a_o excellent_a mean_n in_o itself_o of_o preservation_n but_o that_o this_o mean_v may_v be_v sanctify_v to_o they_o that_o use_v it_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v who_o may_v take_v the_o benefit_n thereof_o and_o how_o it_o be_v to_o be_v use_v i_o think_v that_o they_o who_o residence_n be_v not_o necessary_a may_v take_v the_o benefit_n of_o go_v into_o the_o country_n as_o well_o as_o a_o man_n who_o have_v a_o large_a house_n may_v remove_v from_o one_o side_n infect_v to_o another_o not_o infect_v but_o let_v we_o further_o

they_o offer_v to_o god_n the_o supplication_n of_o his_o people_n for_o help_n and_o health_n if_o not_o now_o when_o their_o misery_n be_v so_o great_a when_o will_v they_o comfort_v the_o afflict_a if_o not_o now_o when_o there_o be_v so_o many_o woeful_a husband_n and_o wife_n parent_n and_o child_n friend_n and_o kinsfolk_n when_o will_v they_o prevail_v against_o sin_n with_o the_o word_n of_o exhortation_n if_o not_o now_o when_o man_n be_v humble_v with_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n and_o when_o will_v they_o do_v good_a by_o prepare_v man_n to_o patience_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o make_v good_a use_n of_o affliction_n if_o not_o now_o when_o every_o hour_n they_o look_v to_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n of_o their_o faith_n and_o wisdom_n in_o christ_n jesus_n i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o since_o christ_n have_v say_v enough_o when_o he_o set_v it_o down_o 12._o as_o a_o property_n of_o a_o hireling_n to_o leave_v the_o sheep_n when_o he_o see_v the_o wolf_n come_v as_o for_o physician_n i_o only_o propound_v this_o question_n whether_o they_o be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o be_v resident_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o profession_n and_o ability_n to_o do_v good_a or_o they_o may_v use_v their_o liberty_n to_o shift_v for_o themselves_o &_o as_o they_o think_v for_o their_o life_n in_o regard_n they_o be_v no_o public_a person_n and_o live_v not_o by_o a_o common_a stipend_n but_o by_o what_o they_o can_v get_v but_o howsoever_o this_o question_n be_v answer_v i_o dare_v say_v thus_o much_o that_o a_o physician_n who_o may_v do_v much_o more_o good_a than_o a_o keeper_n have_v as_o great_a interest_n in_o god_n promise_n and_o providence_n there_o remain_v rich_a man_n to_o be_v consider_v under_o which_o name_n i_o understand_v also_o such_o as_o be_v able_a to_o provide_v for_o themselves_o abroad_o i_o think_v they_o may_v go_v and_o abide_v in_o the_o country_n since_o the_o good_a they_o can_v do_v as_o they_o be_v rich_a man_n be_v to_o reléeve_v the_o sick_a and_o needy_a which_o they_o may_v do_v well_o enough_o without_o their_o residence_n if_o they_o be_v so_o well_o mind_v to_o which_o purpose_n i_o speak_v somewhat_o before_o 25._o but_o though_o they_o may_v be_v none_o resident_a yet_o they_o must_v not_o use_v their_o liberty_n 16._o as_o a_o cloak_n of_o their_o naughtiness_n and_o therefore_o let_v they_o
