As for the plague here mentioned, though it be not expressed under mthat word which properly signifieth pestilence: yet was it questionless a pestilence. For, 1. nSuch a word as this is attributed to the pestilence ⟨p. 84⟩that in Davids time destroyed 70000 within the space of three days. 2. It was infectious: which was one reason why oAaron stood betwixt the dead and the living: that he might keep the living from being infected by the dead. 3. It was extraordinarily mortal. For pin a short space there died of it 14700.
