in_o this_o time_n of_o visitation_n which_o have_v sorrow_n enough_o in_o itself_o though_o it_o be_v not_o further_v by_o man_n error_n brief_o then_o i_o answer_v if_o it_o do_v appear_v that_o the_o promise_v contain_v in_o that_o psalm_n be_v not_o literal_o to_o be_v understand_v but_o in_o a_o mystical_a sense_n then_o that_o collection_n concern_v the_o certain_a exemption_n of_o any_o from_o the_o danger_n of_o the_o plague_n can_v be_v ground_v on_o that_o scripture_n but_o that_o the_o same_o be_v not_o literal_o to_o be_v understand_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n 1._o because_o the_o whole_a psalm_n in_o a_o manner_n be_v metaphorical_a wherein_o there_o be_v mention_n of_o the_o wing_n and_o feather_n of_o the_o almighty_a of_o his_o arrow_n of_o the_o hand_n of_o

because_o the_o promise_n all_o along_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n can_v be_v so_o apply_v nor_o expect_v as_o for_o instance_n that_o such_o as_o trust_v in_o god_n shall_v not_o dash_v their_o foot_n against_o a_o stone_n verse_n 12._o the_o pestilence_n shall_v not_o come_v nigh_o they_o verse_n 7._o no_o not_o near_o their_o dwell_n verse_n 10._o they_o shall_v tread_v upon_o lion_n

shall_v at_o any_o time_n stumble_v or_o if_o so_o yet_o not_o at_o a_o stone_n as_o the_o devil_n apply_v it_o mat._n 4.6_o the_o pestilence_n must_v not_o only_o not_o fasten_v upon_o their_o person_n but_o not_o so_o much_o as_o come_v near_o their_o dwelling_n witness_n dwelling_n at_o the_o honse_n of_o mr._n doctor_n chetwind_v in_o berckley_n before_o twenty_o witness_n as_o this_o foolish_a man_n once_o maintain_v in_o my_o hear_n out_o of_o this_o psalm_n then_o may_v also_o a_o believer_n by_o his_o faith_n tread_v upon_o lion_n dragon_n and_o asp_n or_o adder_n without_o danger_n also_o it_o will_v then_o follow_v that_o the_o most_o faithful_a people_n must_v live_v long_a and_o be_v advance_v in_o the_o world_n contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o all_o

must_v be_v conclude_v to_o want_v faith_n yea_o and_o every_o man_n death_n must_v be_v a_o judgement_n for_o some_o particular_a fin_n and_o want_v of_o faith_n in_o a_o temporal_a promise_n aswell_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o plague_n which_o by_o his_o opinion_n must_v needs_o follow_v and_o so_o none_o at_o all_o shall_v be_v true_o say_v to_o die_v in_o faith_n but_o through_o

so_o be_v the_o word_n with_o thy_o eye_n shall_v thou_o behold_v the_o reward_n of_o the_o wicked_a verse_n 8._o and_o so_o all_o that_o die_v of_o the_o plague_n must_v be_v condemn_v for_o wicked_a
