And that it did not rage in other parts: 5in former time God scattered the pestilence more ⟨p. 134⟩over the kingdom: It is a great matter to bless God for. I beseech you let us say with the same spirit, as this holy man h•re, Oh that men therefore would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for the wonders that he doth for the children of men! For his goodness, that he would rather correct us here then damn us, for his goodness, that he would not give us up to our enemies, For his goodness, that he staid the infection so suddenly, and that he staid the spreading of it further, For his goodness unto us in particular that he hath kept us all safe.
