these_o few_o year_n i_o be_o of_o belief_n that_o it_o be_v never_o doubt_v but_o that_o this_o sickness_n alone_o among_o all_o other_o be_v to_o be_v judge_v contagious_a for_o testimony_n

but_o now_o in_o our_o time_n man_n have_v take_v in_o hand_n to_o dispute_v this_o question_n upon_o this_o occasion_n that_o many_o do_v so_o great_o fear_v this_o disease_n and_o death_n which_o common_o follow_v the_o same_o that_o forsake_v all_o duty_n not_o only_o of_o christian_n but_o also_o of_o humanity_n they_o have_v great_o increase_v the_o very_a wrath_n of_o god_n which_o be_v

this_o sickness_n be_v false_o suppose_v to_o be_v infectious_a but_o i_o because_o i_o think_v that_o this_o paradox_n or_o strange_a opinion_n can_v no_o more_o be_v prove_v by_o good_a reason_n then_o if_o a_o man_n with_o anaxagoras_n shall_v hold_v the_o snow_n to_o be_v black_a or_o out_o of_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o copernicus_n labour_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o earth_n do_v real_o

may_v and_o also_o ought_v otherwise_o to_o be_v put_v away_o neither_o will_v i_o believe_v this_o disease_n not_o to_o be_v infectious_a until_o some_o man_n shall_v teach_v i_o either_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o by_o evident_a and_o good_a reason_n to_o the_o contrary_a for_o there_o be_v in_o the_o very_a course_n of_o nature_n certain_a and_o most_o sure_a ground_n and_o proof_n of_o this_o verity_n so_o long_o as_o the_o order_n of_o necessary_a cause_n agree_v with_o themselves_o for_o i_o deny_v although_o it_o be_v agree_v upon_o that_o the_o plague_n of_o all_o other_o

which_o we_o owe_v unto_o man_n either_o for_o some_o public_a or_o private_a respect_n and_o i_o have_v much_o more_o rather_o they_o will_v bestow_v their_o endeavour_n in_o persuasive_a dispute_n to_o restrain_v man_n fly_v away_o for_o fear_n of_o the_o plague_n than_o that_o they_o shall_v labour_v to_o prove_v their_o strange_a opinion_n of_o the_o plague_n not_o to_o be_v contagious_a indeed_o i_o have_v rather_o have_v the_o consequent_a according_a to_o the_o school-phrase_n in_o that_o same_o enthymeme_n to_o be_v deny_v than_o the_o antecedent_n for_o by_o that_o mean_v something_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v not_o only_o by_o probable_a but_o also_o by_o necessary_a argument_n according_a to_o their_o own_o desire_n namely_o that_o those_o do_v very_o great_o offend_v who_o for_o fear_n of_o any_o peril_n do_v offend_v against_o god_n or_o against_o their_o neighbour_n for_o what_o christian_a man_n dare_v to_o call_v these_o thing_n into_o controveisie_n or_o if_o he_o dare_v do_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v reprove_v by_o the_o restimony_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n though_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v silent_a for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o there_o be_v any_o which_o do_v hold_v that_o with_o a_o good_a conscience_n the_o plague_n by_o all_o mean_n without_o exception_n be_v to_o be_v flee_v from_o which_o notwithstanding_o i_o see_v by_o some_o in_o such_o sort_n dispute_v against_o as_o if_o it_o be_v by_o other_o maintain_v yet_o if_o there_o be_v any_o of_o that_o mind_n i_o do_v no_o more_o favour_n their_o error_n than_o i_o allow_v of_o those_o man_n which_o of_o a_o clean_a contrary_a opinion_n do_v think_v that_o the_o plague_n be_v not_o to_o be_v flee_v from_o but_o sure_o it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o a_o wise_a man_n to_o follow_v the_o golden_a mean_a so_o that_o he_o fly_v not_o when_o he_o shall_v tarry_v neither_o when_o he_o shall_v go_v aside_o for_o the_o term_n of_o fly_v away_o in_o this_o argument_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v very_o improper_a by_o his_o rash_a tarry_n offend_v against_o the_o selfsame_a charity_n which_o seem_v to_o counsel_v he_o to_o stay_v these_o thing_n i_o think_v good_a in_o manner_n of_o a_o preface_n to_o set_v down_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o handle_n of_o the_o matter_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o man_n at_o the_o first_o entrance_n may_v perceive_v what_o

be_v flee_v from_o or_o not_o to_o be_v flee_v from_o do_v depend_v upon_o the_o first_o question_n whether_o the_o plague_n be_v infectious_a or_o no_o let_v we_o examine_v with_o what_o reason_n
