3. Consider you had no better Preservatives, nor Cordials, then many others had, that yet by the Plague are laid silent in the Grave, and are now resting in the dust; and others, that now are dead, used the same means as you did, and it may be more, and better too, and yet God denied his blessing to the use of those means that were more probable to prevent Infection then yours were; by this you may be convinced, that it was the hand of God that hath preserved you: and therefore by this, you should be obliged to remember, and keep upon your heart a sense of Gods mercy towards you.
