DIRECTIONS how to live after a wasting PLAGUE.

QUESTION: How should those that have been preserved by God from the Grave in this time of Plague, live in some measure Answerably to so great a Mercy?

This is a Case of general concernment, to those many thousands whom God hath kept alive in a time of Plague, which hath swept so many thousands into their Graves, whose bodies are now rotting in the dust, and whose souls are entered into an unchangeable condition of happiness or misery, whose life is ended, whose time is past and gone, who are now receiving their wages or reward, according to what their state was found to be when the Plague removed them from time into eternity, from this World ⟨p. 2⟩into that, which now they must be in for ever, without alteration or redemption. What Family is there in this great City, or what person is there in all those families, that are not concerned to enquire what signal and more than ordinary return they should make to God for such signal and more than ordinary preservation from the gates of death: who have walked upon the very borders of the Grave, and are yet alive, who have been nearer the brink of Eternity, and in more danger of being cut down than at other times, and yet are spared; and are numbered amongst the living, and not reckoned nor made free amongst the dead.

THis is a Case of general concernment, to those many thousands whom God hath kept alive in a time of Plague, which hath swept so many thousands into their Graves, whose bodies are now rotting in the dust, and whose souls are entred into an unchangeable condition of happiness or misery, whose life is ended, whose time is past and gone, who are now receiving their wages or reward, according to what their state was found to be when the Plague removed them from time into eternity, from this World
