t._n b._n ¶_o a_o treatise_n of_o the_o pestilence_n ¶_o the_o first_o chapter_n show_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o the_o disease_n entreat_v of_o the_o disease_n call_v the_o plague_n or_o

the_o disease_n &_o second_o preservative_n whereby_o a_o man_n may_v be_v keep_v from_o the_o sickness_n three_o the_o token_n whereby_o he_o that_o be_v disease_v may_v gather_v and_o understand_v whether_o he_o be_v infect_v with_o the_o plague_n or_o no_o fourthly_a and_o last_o of_o all_o i_o will_v set_v down_o some_o remedy_n and_o medicine_n to_o cure_v the_o disease_n some_o physician_n recite_v four_o principal_a cause_n of_o the_o pestilence_n the_o first_o pertain_v to_o divinity_n the_o second_o to_o astronomy_n the_o three_o and_o four_o to_o physic_n as_o touch_v that_o which_o pertain_v to_o divinity_n our_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n the_o principal_a cause_n of_o all_o our_o misery_n and_o calamity_n be_v one_o cause_n of_o this_o disease_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n unto_o the_o israelite_n who_o among_o many_o other_o curse_n and_o punishment_n for_o sin_n 15._o recite_v the_o pestilence_n as_o one_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v not_o obey_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o god_n to_o keep_v and_o to_o do_v all_o his_o commandment_n and_o his_o ordinance_n which_o i_o command_v thou_o this_o day_n then_o all_o these_o curse_n shall_v

thou_o until_o he_o have_v consume_v thou_o from_o the_o land_n which_o thou_o go_v to_o possess_v 15._o moreover_o we_o read_v that_o seventy_o thousand_o of_o the_o israelite_n die_v of_o this_o disease_n 14._o for_o the_o sin_n of_o david_n their_o king_n i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v deny_v but_o that_o hereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o sin_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o the_o pestilence_n even_o among_o we_o for_o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v write_v afore_o time_n be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n and_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o israelite_n 6._o be_v a_o example_n to_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v avoid_v sin_n lest_o their_o plague_n fall_v upon_o we_o for_o their_o god_n be_v our_o god_n and_o he_o hate_v sin_n in_o we_o as_o he_o do_v in_o they_o and_o there_o fore_o punish_v it_o in_o we_o as_o he_o do_v in_o they_o therefore_o i_o say_v sin_n be_v a_o principal_a cause_n of_o the_o pestilence_n whereby_o god_n punish_v not_o so_o much_o those_o who_o he_o take_v thereby_o out_o of_o this_o life_n as_o those_o that_o remain_v alive_a for_o they_o that_o live_v feel_v the_o smart_n of_o the_o plague_n when_o as_o the_o other_o many_o of_o they_o die_v god_n servant_n and_o for_o this_o transitory_a life_n enjoy_v that_o which_o never_o shall_v end_v if_o our_o own_o experience_n do_v not_o teach_v we_o this_o we_o may_v perceive_v it_o by_o the_o foresay_a punishment_n of_o king_n david_n to_o who_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o grievous_a to_o have_v die_v himself_o as_o to_o lose_v his_o subject_n in_o the_o multitude_n whereof_o he_o through_o a_o worldly_a wisdom_n trust_v more_o than_o in_o the_o almighty_a power_n of_o god_n therefore_o god_n diminish_v the_o number_n of_o they_o by_o the_o pestilence_n to_o teach_v he_o and_o all_o other_o prince_n not_o to_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o the_o multitude_n of_o man_n because_o it_o be_v his_o
