All the Judgements of God are limited not onely to places, but also to persons.
And therefore such and such must fall, when such and such must escape; and such and such must be infected, when such and such are preserved: Hence 'tis that one is taken in the Bed, and the other left; one smitten at the Table, or in the House, and all the rest preserved in perfect health, &c.
