Et ut quisque fortissimus, ita citissime moritur. Foeminae non petuntur, nec certe pauperes; neque etiam inficitur quisquam, qui aegrotorum necessitatibus subministrarit, aut eos inviserit. Sed ut fuit morbus hic insigniter violentus, ita neque diu duravit. Nam infra unius mensis curriculum ad pristinam pene sanitatem restituuntur omnes; ut jam denuo mirari possis tot scholares, tot etiam cives, urbem et plateas linteis capitibus obambulantes, et nomen clementissimi Dei nostri in omne aevum suspicere[139]. Vicessimo quarto Julii Joannes May, socius et artium magister, in collegio vitam finit. Sepelitur in ecclesia. Vicessimo septimo ejusdem Browne clericus moritur in collegio. Vicessimo octavo ejusdem Gaunte portionista moritur in collegio. Vicessimo nono Dnus Lea, electus probationarius 20 Julii, moritur in collegio. _Additional Remarks, by_ Tho. Birch, _D. D. Secret. R. S._ CAmden, in his Annals of Queen Elizabeth[140], observes, that almost all, except women and children, who were present at the assizes at Oxford, at the tryal of Rowland Jenkes, a Bookseller there, for seditious words, died, to the number of about three hundred. Mr. John Stow, in his _Chronicle of England_[141], enlarges this number, and affirms, that there died in Oxford three hundred persons, and in other places two hundred and odd, from the 6th of July to the 12th of August; _after which died not any of that sickness; for one of them infected not another_: And this historian agrees with Camden, that not any one woman or child died thereof. Dr. George Ethryg, a physician, who practised at that time at Oxford[142], in the 2d book of his _Hypomnemata quædam in aliquot Libros Pauli Æginetæ, seu Observationis Medicamentorum, quæ hâc ætate in usu sunt_, printed at London in 1588, in 8vo, mentions, that on the first night of the appearance of the dissease about six hundred fell sick of it; and that the next night an hundred more were seized in the villages near Oxford. Lord Bacon, in his _Natural History_, evidently refers to this, and one or two more instances of the same kind, in the following passage, _Century_ X. _Nº._ 914. “The most pernicious infection next the plague is the smell of the goal, where prisoners have been long and close and nastily kept; whereof we have had in our time experience twice or thrice, when both the judges, that sat upon the goal, and numbers of those, that attended the business, or were present, sickened upon it, and died. Therefore it were good wisdom, that in such cases the goal were aired before they be brought forth.” We have likewise an account in Mr. Anthony Wood[143], that at the quarter-session at Cambridge, in Lent in the year 1522, and the 13th of the reign of Henry VIII. the justices, gentlemen, and bailiffs, with most of the persons present, were seized with a disease, which proved mortal to a considerable number of them; those, who escaped, having been very dangerously sick.
