A Journal of the Plague Year ( 10 min., 44 sec. )

This was the beginning of May... ( 09 min., 10 sec. )

I had an elder brother at the same time... ( 11 min., 45 sec. )

I scarce need tell the listener... ( 09 min., 39 sec. )

One day, being at that part of the town... ( 12 min., 06 sec. )

Next to these public things were the dreams... ( 08 min., 11 sec. )

Some endeavours were used to suppress... ( 10 min., 39 sec. )

But even those wholesome reflections... ( 10 min., 17 sec. )

Indeed, the poor people were to be pitied... ( 11 min., 24 sec. )

The Examiner's Office. ( 09 min., 30 sec. )

No Person to be conveyed out of any infected... ( 11 min., 10 sec. )

This shutting up of houses was at first... ( 10 min., 58 sec. )

I could give a great many such stories... ( 08 min., 42 sec. )

But I come back to the case of families infected... ( 10 min., 03 sec. )

They had supposed this pit would have supplied... ( 09 min., 09 sec. )

Innumerable stories also went about... ( 11 min., 44 sec. )

I went home, indeed, grieved and afflicted... ( 09 min., 15 sec. )

The next morning, seeing no appearance... ( 09 min., 50 sec. )

I had in family only an ancient woman... ( 11 min., 34 sec. )

In these walks I had many dismal scenes... ( 09 min., 32 sec. )

They did tell me, indeed, of a nurse in one place... ( 10 min., 24 sec. )

This brings these two men to a further... ( 11 min., 07 sec. )

Certain it is, the greatest part of the poor... ( 08 min., 53 sec. )

Two things besides this contributed to... ( 12 min., 39 sec. )

One of the worst days we had in the whole time... ( 10 min., 19 sec. )

Much about the same time I walked out... ( 11 min., 34 sec. )

I then asked the poor man if the distemper... ( 06 min., 03 sec. )

And here I cannot but take notice... ( 10 min., 15 sec. )

Take the weeks in which the plague... ( 10 min., 10 sec. )

I have heard also of some who, on the death... ( 12 min., 13 sec. )

This was about the beginning of July... ( 10 min., 47 sec. )

But to return to my travellers. ( 09 min., 21 sec. )

This was much the fate of our three travellers... ( 12 min., 50 sec. )

Accordingly they sent to the place... ( 08 min., 35 sec. )

John answered that what other people... ( 08 min., 36 sec. )

On this they called a new council... ( 10 min., 58 sec. )

I have given an account already of what I found... ( 09 min., 44 sec. )

It is true there is something to be said... ( 10 min., 10 sec. )

I had about this time a little hardship... ( 10 min., 25 sec. )

This running of distempered people... ( 09 min., 52 sec. )

Seeing then that we could come at the certainty.... ( 09 min., 33 sec. )

But I must still speak of the plague... ( 10 min., 31 sec. )

Here we may observe and I hope... ( 09 min., 09 sec. )

This was a prodigious number of itself... ( 12 min., 09 sec. )

These things re-established the minds... ( 10 min., 05 sec. )

Here is a strange change of things indeed... ( 08 min., 44 sec. )

This I take to be the reason... ( 11 min., 12 sec. )

Now let any man judge from a case like this... ( 08 min., 44 sec. )

And here I must observe also that the plague... ( 09 min., 58 sec. )

It is true there was, as I observed at first... ( 11 min., 10 sec. )

Indeed nothing was more strange than to see... ( 11 min., 01 sec. )

It must not be forgot here to take some notice... ( 09 min., 31 sec. )

It is to be observed that while the plague... ( 09 min., 33 sec. )

The public fires which were made... ( 10 min., 44 sec. )

Such is the precipitant disposition of our people... ( 10 min., 11 sec. )

Some parts of England were now infected... ( 10 min., 18 sec. )

I should have mentioned that the Quakers... ( 08 min., 10 sec. )

I was once making a list of all such... ( 09 min., 06 sec. )

There were, indeed, several little hurries... ( 06 min., 57 sec. )

I should have taken notice here that... ( 07 min., 31 sec. )

If I should say that this is a visible summons... ( 04 minutes, 17 sec. )
