Ob. 1. The Plague is an immediate stroke of God; wherby such as he hath appointed to death are stricken. It is not infectious.
Ans. I grant it to be an extraordinary disease, but not immediate. The kind of disease, and the effects thereof on mans body, do show that its no more immediate then many other diseases.
