CHAP. VIII. Of the analogy and resemblance be∣tween the Small-Pox and Plague.
1. IT is the great analogy and re∣semblance between the Small-pox and the Plague, that hath gi∣ven me the occation of interweaving the foregoing Discourses, especially since the latter being so well under∣stood by most in those enumerated Instances, will render the theory and practice of the Small-pox and Measles so intelligible, that accord∣ing to my pretence in the First and Second Chapters, very ordinary Ca∣pacities will be qualified to make a decision in the Debate.
Wherefore, if I make the analogy appear, and give Reasons of those Inferences, the same will serve to satisfy the Objections and Queries, that may be made of the Small-pox.
