these_o question_n whether_o they_o think_v that_o because_o of_o the_o plague_n the_o lord_n day_n shall_v by_o warrant_n of_o god_n word_n cease_v to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o a_o holy_a assembly_n

in_o their_o sin_n touch_v the_o place_n whereunto_o you_o will_v have_v i_o say_v somewhat_o thus_o i_o understand_v it_o the_o word_n plague_n do_v signify_v a_o stripe_n or_o stroke_n and_o therefore_o not_o only_o the_o pestilence_n but_o every_o punishment_n for_o sin_n be_v mean_v thereby_o hide_v be_v put_v for_o preserve_v 11._o as_o joash_n be_v by_o hide_v preserve_v from_o

the_o punishment_n itself_o that_o man_n may_v take_v heed_n of_o inordinate_a fear_n let_v they_o know_v that_o a_o prudent_a man_n hide_v not_o himself_o or_o obtain_v preservation_n from_o the_o former_a otherwise_o then_o by_o prayer_n and_o fast_v faith_n and_o repentance_n for_o we_o can_v hide_v ourselves_o from_o god_n etc._n who_o be_v infinite_a but_o by_o god_n himself_o that_o be_v as_o the_o woman_n appeal_v from_o king_n philip_n sleep_a to_o king_n philip_n awaken_v so_o a_o prudent_a man_n hide_v himself_o from_o god_n wrath_n under_o god_n mercy_n 21._o which_o be_v as_o

use_v and_o may_v use_v lawful_a mean_n temporal_a as_o well_o as_o spiritual_a and_o therefore_o a_o prudent_a man_n may_v use_v lawful_a mean_n of_o preservation_n as_o well_o from_o the_o pestilence_n as_o from_o other_o less_o plague_n or_o stroke_n of_o god_n anger_n &_o by_o consequence_n if_o shun_v infection_n be_v a_o mean_a to_o preserve_v as_o be_v within_o danger_n be_v a_o mean_a to_o infect_v than_o a_o prudent_a man_n may_v fly_v out_o of_o the_o city_n infect_v into_o the_o country_n not_o infect_v provide_v his_o residence_n be_v not_o necessary_a and_o he_o observe_v caution_n convenient_a as_o i_o say_v before_o 73._o this_o be_v my_o opinion_n touch_v fly_a into_o the_o country_n for_o fear_n of_o infection_n and_o that_o place_n concern_v hide_v ourselves_o from_o the_o plague_n now_o let_v i_o hear_v your_o last_o objection_n if_o you_o remember_v no_o more_o profess_v i_o have_v trouble_v you_o so_o long_o that_o i_o trow_v it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o come_v out_o with_o my_o last_o objection_n and_o yet_o i_o tell_v you_o it_o be_v deem_v none_o of_o the_o least_o for_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n that_o the_o plague_n shall_v be_v infective_a see_v it_o be_v speak_v of_o in_o the_o scripture_n so_o often_o and_o yet_o in_o no_o place_n be_v say_v to_o be_v infective_a preach_v howsoever_o that_o seem_v i_o be_o sure_a this_o be_v against_o all_o reason_n to_o make_v the_o bible_n a_o book_n of_o physic_n or_o to_o conclude_v thus_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o in_o any_o place_n say_v that_o the_o plague_n be_v infective_a therefore_o it_o be_v not_o infective_a it_o may_v be_v as_o well_o conclude_v thus_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o in_o any_o place_n say_v that_o the_o french_a disease_n come_v by_o whoredom_n therefore_o it_o come_v not_o by_o whoredom_n and_o by_o consequence_n whoredom_n be_v not_o to_o be_v fear_v for_o that_o cause_n i_o observe_v with_o grief_n the_o humour_n of_o most_o to_o be_v this_o if_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o any_o sinful_a pleasure_n unlawful_a profit_n or_o erroneous_a opinion_n they_o they_o stout_o demand_v what_o express_a scripture_n have_v you_o against_o it_o contrariwise_o if_o they_o have_v no_o mind_n to_o any_o holy_a duty_n than_o they_o must_v know_v where_o scripture_n do_v express_o command_v it_o but_o neighbour_n tell_v i_o do_v you_o not_o think_v that_o baptise_v of_o infant_n be_v lawful_a since_o it_o may_v be_v justify_v by_o sound_a conclusion_n from_o the_o word_n though_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v neither_o precept_n for_o nor_o example_n of_o baptise_v infant_n prof._n no_o doubt_n of_o it_o but_o can_v you_o prove_v the_o plague_n to_o be_v infective_a by_o conclusion_n if_o you_o can_v for_o god_n sake_n let_v i_o hear_v some_o &_o then_o i_o will_v believe_v through_o god_n grace_n and_o inform_v other_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v preach_v what_o need_v you_o be_v so_o earnest_a for_o proof_n out_o of_o the_o scripture_n since_o i_o give_v you_o before_o a_o argument_n out_o of_o the_o 91._o 46_o psalm_n which_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o prove_v a_o point_n wherein_o the_o scripture_n seem_v to_o be_v so_o silent_a but_o that_o i_o may_v give_v you_o contentment_n if_o i_o can_v at_o our_o part_n i_o will_v show_v you_o some_o other_o scripture_n which_o speak_v to_o this_o purpose_n in_o the_o 14._o of_o ezechiel_n verse_n 21._o god_n name_v four_o principal_a judgement_n appoint_v to_o destroy_v viz._n the_o sword_n famine_n noisome_a beast_n and_o pestilence_n where_o note_n that_o without_o question_n three_o of_o they_o be_v fit_a mean_n in_o their_o nature_n to_o destroy_v many_o why_o not_o the_o pestilence_n consider_v further_o that_o god_n do_v not_o threaten_v to_o destroy_v by_o dog_n bull_n or_o such_o like_a creature_n but_o by_o noisome_a beast_n such_o as_o shall_v destroy_v not_o to_o satisfy_v hunger_n but_o to_o make_v havoc_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o the_o destruction_n of_o three_o and_o forty_o child_n 24._o only_o by_o two_o bear_n so_o
