It Shall Not Come Nigh Thee

 
LORD CRAVEN lived in London during the plague, 1665; he was leaving to fly to his country seat, when he overheard his black servant saying to a fellow-servant, “I suppose by my lord’s going, his God lives in the country, and not in the town.” The reproof struck his lordship, and he stayed, worked among the sick, and never caught the plague. “A thousand shall fall at thy side. but it shall not come nigh thee.” Psa. 91.
