There was no remedy for this horrid delusion, till the plague put an end to it, by clearing the town of most of these mock calculators.
" Before this happened, many of the people, given up to prophecies, dreams, and old wives' tales, became so enthusiastically bold as to run about the streets with their oral predictions, pre- tending that they were sent to preach to the city ; one, like Jonah at Nineveh, cried in the streets,— ' Yet forty days, and London shall be destroyed ;' Digitized by GoOg...le 96 BRITISH PHYSICIANS* another ran about naked, except a pair of drawers about his waist, crying, day and night (like a man mentioned by Josephus, before the destruction of Jerusalem), ' Oh ! the great and terrible God ! ' and said no more, but repeated these words con- tinually, with a voice and countenance full of horror, a swift pace ; and nobody could observe him to stop, or rest, or take any sustenance, nor would he enter into speech with any one." The effects of terror upon the mind of the vulgar may easily be imagined : to avert the im- pending woe, they had recourse to charms, phil- ters, amulets, and exorcisms.
