As the Plague of the body (according to Physitians in their
Physicall way) is caused either by externall causes, such as
the consuption of the aire, the contagious touch of some bo∣dies
or things, &c. or else by internall causes, such as the
putrefaction of the bloud or humours, &c. So the Plague
of the Soule (according to Divines in their Theologicall
way) is caused either by externall temptations and provo∣cations,
and those principally of the senseso 1.1, to some where∣of
the poison of the temptation is conveyed by the aire, to
others by some contagious touchp 1.2; or else by internall cor∣ruptionq 1.3,
the seed whereof is derived unto us from our
Parentsr 1.4. And therefore if we would be preserved from
the one plague as well as the other, we must provide and
furnish our selves with such antidotes and preservatives, such
cordialls and other approved remedies, as are good and pro∣per
for the resisting and expelling of both sorts of corrupti∣on
and putrefaction, as well externall, as internall. And such
you shall finde by and by prescribed in their due order.
