DIRECTION I.
Hath God spared you in time of Plague, Then be better and not worse than you were before. Those that before were bad, have now greater engagement to be good; and those that were good before, are engaged by Gods merciful Providence to them to be better; not only better than those that are bad, but better than themselves that before were good. In time of Plague you did enquire for the best Antidote, and for the best Cordial and Preservative, and should you not now the Plague is thus ceased, enquire what is your best Return you are to make to God, especially when in time of Plague, Gods Protection was your best Preservative, and the Spirits Comforts your chiefest Cordials.
