God's law saith / flee whether thou wilt. Adherere faciet tibi Dominus pestilenciam, donec consumat te de superficie terrae, Deutero. 28. That is to say: The lord shall make the pestilence ⟨p. XCV⟩cleave and associate the till it consume the from the world. Again in the same chapter. the disease or sickness shall be faithful. that is to say stick fast to the / use what medicines thou wilt. Galenus saythe libr. 1. De differ feb. capit. 4. that the chief remedy / to preserve from pestilence / is to purge the body from superfluous humours / to have a free / and liberal wind / and to avoid the abundance of mete / and drink. God saith / nothing preserveth / but the observation of his commandments. If we offend / the best remedy is penance / and amendment of lief. It maketh no force how corrupt the Air be / so the conscience / of man in Christ be clean from sin. Though there dye / a thousand of the one side of thee / and ten thousand one the other side / thou shalt be safe / Psalm 90. He will let the live / to serve longer in the world / to the glory of his name. And if thou die / it is because / no malice of the world / should corrupt thy lief / and bring the from God. Farther to take away the miseries of this world. If such as care not for God / escape in the time of pestilence / or war: it is to call them unto a better life / Ro. 1. If they amend not: they are reserved / to a greater pain. this is spoken not as though I contemned the gifts of god: philosophy / and physic / but to: take from men / all vain hope in the artificial medicines ⟨p. XCVI⟩/ and give only the glory unto the name of God.
Godes law saithe / fle whether thow wilt. Adherere faciet tibi Dominus pestilenciam, donec consumat te de superficie terrae, Deutero. 28. That is to say: The lord shall make the pestilence ⟨p. XCV⟩cleue and associat the till it consume the from the worold. Agayne in the same chapiter. the diseace or syckenys shalbe faythefull. that is to say sticke fast to the / vse what medicines thow wilt. Galenus saythe libr. 1. De differ feb. capit. 4. that the cheffe remedy / to preserue from pestilence / is to purge the body from superflous humores / to haue a fre / and liberall wynd / and to auoyde the abundaunce of mete / and drynke. God saythe / nothyng preseruythe / but the obseruation of his commaundementes. If we offend / the best remedy is penence / and amendement of liefe. It makythe no forse how corrupt the Ayre be / so the conscience / of man in Christ be clene from synne. Thoghe there dye / a thowsand of the one syde of the / and ten thowsand one the other syde / thow shalt be sauffe /
