among_o the_o young_a sort_n and_o such_o as_o do_v not_o great_o regard_v clean_a and_o sweet_a keep_v and_o where_o many_o be_v pester_v together_o in_o alley_n or_o house_n be_v not_o this_o a_o argument_n of_o infection_n thousand_o can_v direct_o tell_v where_o when_o and_o of_o who_o they_o take_v the_o plague_n do_v not_o all_o this_o make_v it_o more_o than_o manifest_a that_o the_o plague_n be_v contagious_a all_o magistrate_n all_o divine_n all_o physician_n all_o learned_a man_n and_o all_o wise_a man_n in_o all_o age_n have_v hold_v the_o plague_n to_o be_v contagious_a dare_v any_o but_o blind_a bayard_n be_v so_o impudent_a to_o deny_v it_o without_o such_o reason_n as_o may_v sway_v against_o so_o great_a experience_n and_o so_o great_a authority_n if_o you_o have_v any_o such_o i_o pray_v you_o let_v i_o hear_v they_o profess_v that_o i_o have_v any_o such_o i_o can_v say_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o myiudgment_n as_o also_o of_o the_o probability_n at_o least_o of_o that_o i_o have_v hear_v already_o speak_v to_o the_o contrary_a but_o such_o as_o they_o be_v if_o it_o please_v you_o i_o will_v bring_v they_o out_o humble_o desire_v your_o answer_n the_o first_o be_v thus_o urge_v with_o open_a mouth_n this_o opinion_n of_o infection_n do_v utter_o overthrow_v charity_n towards_o the_o visit_v by_o the_o plague_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o they_o by_o who_o mean_n the_o sick_a and_o sound_a be_v especial_o to_o be_v provide_v for_o do_v run_v away_o viz._n magistrate_n minister_n such_o i_o mean_v as_o indeed_o be_v never_o faithful_a for_o bless_a be_v god_n many_o faithful_a remain_n physician_n and_o rich_a man_n and_o why_o so_o many_o be_v thrust_v out_o of_o door_n perish_v in_o town_n and_o field_n for_o want_v of_o help_n and_o be_v so_o cruel_o use_v by_o country_n people_n so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a countermand_n to_o christ_n his_o judgement_n concern_v visitation_n of_o the_o sick_a 34._o but_o by_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v and_o by_o gather_v from_o the_o last_o point_n we_o talk_v of_o that_o the_o precise_a commandment_n touch_v leper_n to_o be_v separate_v from_o church_n and_o company_n be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o their_o visitation_n but_o that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v minister_v unto_o according_a to_o their_o need_n i_o be_o for_o my_o part_n induce_v to_o lay_v the_o blame_n of_o all_o this_o uncharitable_a deal_n upon_o the_o excessive_a fear_n of_o people_n occasion_v perhaps_o but_o not_o well_o ground_v upon_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o plague_n infection_n for_o though_o the_o plague_n be_v to_o be_v fear_v because_o of_o the_o infection_n yet_o as_o i_o take_v it_o not_o so_o excessive_o and_o inordinate_o for_o of_o such_o fear_n the_o cause_n be_v want_n of_o faith_n rather_o than_o the_o opinion_n of_o infection_n as_o i_o may_v partly_o gather_v from_o that_o which_o you_o deliver_v before_o 16._o i_o will_v therefore_o propound_v a_o argument_n so_o deem_v which_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o handle_v preach_v stay_v here_o a_o while_n for_o i_o can_v not_o but_o thank_v god_n that_o you_o judge_v so_o right_o between_o my_o opinion_n and_o other_o fear_v of_o infection_n if_o professor_n will_v wise_o observe_v what_o be_v teach_v there_o will_v not_o be_v so_o many_o spider_n to_o suck_v rank_n poison_v out_o of_o sound_a doctrine_n then_o may_v we_o hold_v the_o plague_n in_o the_o nature_n thereof_o to_o be_v contagious_a and_o man_n will_v not_o take_v occasion_n before_o it_o be_v give_v of_o excessive_a and_o inordinate_a fear_n then_o may_v we_o inveigh_v against_o excessive_a and_o inordinate_a fear_n and_o man_n will_v not_o take_v occasion_n before_o it_o be_v give_v of_o inordinate_a and_o dangerous_a presumption_n but_o foolish_a man_n as_o wise_a man_n observe_v be_v ever_o run_v into_o extremity_n 28._o if_o paul_n teach_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n the_o carnal_a gospeller_n take_v occasion_n before_o it_o be_v give_v to_o neglect_v good_a work_n and_o if_o james_n teach_v 26._o that_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a the_o arrogant_a papist_n take_v occasion_v before_o it_o be_v give_v to_o advance_v good_a work_n to_o merit_n and_o supererogation_n my_o heart_n bléede_v to_o hear_v of_o the_o cruelty_n and_o inhumanity_n you_o mention_v so_o that_o if_o i_o be_v in_o the_o country_n i_o will_v by_o god_n grace_n set_v myself_o against_o those_o damnable_a effect_n of_o inordinate_a fear_n and_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o the_o plague_n be_v not_o so_o contagious_a as_o excessive_a fear_n make_v it_o to_o be_v but_o now_o i_o follow_v this_o course_n which_o god_n bless_v because_o i_o live_v where_o the_o contrary_a sin_n of_o presumption_n be_v more_o general_a and_o more_o dangerous_a both_o because_o of_o that_o bloody_a error_n as_o also_o of_o the_o absence_n of_o magistrate_n who_o shall_v see_v good_a order_n put_v in_o execution_n through_o which_o default_n it_o be_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n with_o run_a sore_n go_v common_o abroad_o and_o thrust_v themselves_o into_o company_n so_o that_o some_o have_v perceive_v when_o they_o take_v the_o infection_n of_o such_o how_o many_o may_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v take_v the_o infection_n from_o such_o though_o they_o perceive_v it_o not_o i_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o make_v magistrate_n neglect_v their_o charge_n guilty_a of_o all_o this_o blood_n but_o if_o i_o be_v in_o place_n i_o will_v humble_o and_o earnest_o entreat_v they_o serious_o to_o consider_v the_o nine_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o 21._o of_o deuteronomy_n where_o they_o may_v learn_v how_o fearful_a they_o of_o all_o other_o shall_v be_v of_o bloud-guiltines_n but_o leave_v they_o to_o god_n direction_n i_o pray_v you_o propound_v your_o argument_n so_o deem_v profess_v that_o i_o will_v and_o as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o be_v enforce_v if_o the_o plague_n be_v contagious_a why_o be_v not_o one_o infect_v as_o well_o as_o another_o i_o have_v lyen_fw-we in_o bed_n with_o many_o that_o have_v have_v the_o plague-sore_n run_v on_o they_o i_o have_v be_v still_o about_o they_o when_o they_o sweat_v their_o sore_n break_v and_o breath_n go_v out_o of_o their_o body_n and_o yet_o i_o and_o a_o great_a number_n beside_o i_o who_o have_v do_v as_o much_o have_v never_o the_o plague_n yet_o and_o trust_v nevershal_n so_o long_o as_o i_o have_v a_o strong_a faith_n in_o god_n for_o be_v it_o not_o write_v 9_o thou_o shall_v not_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o pestilence_n for_o thousand_o shall_v fall_v beside_o thou_o yet_o it_o shall_v not_o come_v near_o thou_o for_o thou_o have_v say_v the_o lord_n be_v my_o hope_n preacher_n this_o adventurous_a argument_n stand_v upon_o two_o point_n viz._n first_o the_o escape_n of_o some_o and_o second_o their_o strong_a faith_n concern_v the_o former_a i_o answer_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o opponent_n be_v thy_o eye_n evil_a because_o god_n be_v good_a 15._o will_v thou_o by_o thy_o bloody_a error_n poison_v other_o because_o god_n have_v glorify_v his_o special_a providence_n over_o thou_o be_v this_o thy_o thankfulness_n for_o so_o great_a deliverance_n to_o obscure_a god_n providence_n by_o attribute_v thy_o escape_n to_o this_o that_o the_o plague_n be_v not_o infective_a consider_v better_o the_o very_a text_n allege_v for_o thy_o strong_a faith_n and_o you_o may_v if_o you_o will_v see_v clear_o that_o god_n do_v hereby_o set_v forth_o his_o providence_n in_o that_o he_o preserve_v those_o that_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o walk_v in_o his_o way_n by_o angel_n and_o then_o when_o by_o the_o pestilence_n thousand_o fall_n about_o they_o for_o the_o great_a the_o danger_n be_v the_o great_a be_v god_n providence_n in_o deliver_v his_o people_n as_o may_v further_o appear_v by_o their_o walk_n upon_o lion_n 14_o asp_n and_o dragon_n mention_v in_o the_o same_o psalm_n therefore_o take_v heed_n how_o you_o obscure_v the_o providence_n of_o god_n and_o draw_v many_o into_o danger_n by_o deny_v the_o plague_n to_o be_v contagious_a lest_o as_o he_o that_o fear_v not_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n 19_o meet_v with_o a_o bear_n when_o he_o have_v escape_v a_o lion_n so_o you_o meet_v with_o a_o judgement_n heavy_a to_o you_o though_o you_o still_o escape_v the_o plague_n but_o neighbour_n i_o will_v turn_v my_o speech_n to_o you_o pray_v you_o to_o consider_v this_o psalm_n well_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v i_o prove_v from_o the_o same_o the_o plague_n to_o be_v contagious_a for_o if_o a_o extraordinary_a providence_n of_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o preserve_v those_o that_o believe_v from_o pestilence_n then_o be_v the_o pestilence_n very_o dangerous_a as_o be_v the_o lion_n asp_n

the_o plague_n may_v be_v in_o a_o garment_n and_o the_o party_n not_o sick_a and_o that_o one_o may_v take_v the_o plague_n only_o with_o fear_n and_o do_v you_o bear_v with_o such_o a_o conceit_n preach_v no_o i_o do_v not_o but_o i_o deem_v they_o guilty_a of_o their_o own_o bane_n who_o take_v it_o with_o such_o a_o conceit_n and_o yet_o i_o think_v every_o charitable_a christian_a will_v grieve_v at_o the_o heart_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o such_o a_o fright_n and_o can_v wish_v that_o he_o have_v rather_o be_v from_o the_o church_n a_o month_n especial_o be_v

well_o ayr_v be_v open_v though_o a_o year_n or_o more_o after_o have_v instant_o renew_v the_o plague_n again_o we_o perceive_v by_o the_o smell_n that_o garment_n will_v retain_v the_o send_v of_o wormwood_n or_o musk_n for_o a_o long_a time_n the_o cause_n be_v not_o in_o the_o send_v by_o itself_o consider_v but_o in_o the_o air_n which_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o send_v the_o plague_n

the_o garment_n can_v be_v infect_v and_o yet_o the_o person_n that_o wear_v it_o escape_v the_o plague_n preach_v i_o will_v show_v you_o that_o in_o a_o word_n do_v you_o not_o consider_v that_o either_o the_o infection_n may_v be_v but_o weak_a or_o the_o party_n of_o a_o strong_a and_o healthful_a constitution_n cinder_n will_v not_o set_v fuel_n on_o fire_n so_o soon_o as_o burn_a coal_n

i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o what_o you_o can_v say_v for_o unnecessary_a and_o desperate_a run_v to_o the_o sick_a and_o bury_v of_o the_o plague_n profess_v what_o i_o tell_v you_o be_v it_o without_o offence_n that_o many_o marvel_n i_o will_v not_o say_v cry_v out_o that_o preacher_n who_o shall_v be_v example_n of_o love_n and_o faith_n in_o visit_v the_o sick_a according_a to_o

sure_o you_o professor_n who_o so_o urge_v this_o pretend_a duty_n be_v far_o from_o the_o love_a care_n and_o kindness_n of_o the_o israelite_n who_o will_v not_o suffer_v david_n to_o hazard_v

that_o as_o paul_n say_v 17_o christ_n send_v i_o not_o to_o baptize_v but_o to_o preach_v so_o preacher_n may_v say_v christ_n have_v send_v we_o not_o to_o visit_v the_o sick_a but_o to_o preach_v and_o thereupon_o conclude_v that_o the_o less_o duty_n if_o a_o duty_n especial_o be_v dangerous_a must_v give_v place_n to_o the_o great_a and_o the_o visit_n of_o a_o few_o sick_a and_o less_o

herein_o i_o humble_o submit_v my_o opinion_n to_o the_o church_n that_o visit_v the_o sick_a be_v a_o proper_a duty_n of_o a_o minister_n as_o he_o be_v a_o minister_n for_o as_o none_o can_v

christ_n prescribe_v visit_v of_o the_o sick_a as_o a_o minister_n duty_n if_o not_o christ_n why_o shall_v any_o surcharge_n minister_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o they_o be_v not_o no_o not_o the_o best_a sufficient_a for_o duty_n prescribe_v 4._o do_v not_o the_o apostle_n pronounce_v it_o a_o unmeet_a thing_n to_o be_v hinder_v from_o give_v themselves_o continual_o to_o prayer_n and_o to_o
