Genre: | Homily |
Subjects: | Epidemiology, Piety, Providence |
The writer urges the instability of earthly things, and the need for divine aid. Observes that during 'the late epidemic', such thoughts 'seemed naturally to arise in the mind'. 'How completely, for a time, did it break in on our domestic enjoyments'. Considers, however, that, to date, the 'lesson' has been 'gracious and gentle' and observes that so, at first, were the pestilences in Egypt. (123) | |
