§. 48. Of a plague as an effect of Gods wrath.
I. *A Plague is an evidence of Gods wrath. The plague which upon Davids numbering the people was inflicted on Israel, is expressly noted to be an effect of Gods wrath. For first it is said, for demonstration of the cause of that judgement, that aThe anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel: and again that bGod was displeased with Davids numbering the people, and Therefore he smote Israel. cWhere God saith, Fire is kindled in my wrath, he addeth as an effect thereof, I will send plagues among them. dThere are three arrows of Gods wrath mentioned in Scripture; and the plague is one of these. The other two are sword and famine.
