217 “The bishop of Marseilles, during the time of this miserable calamity, was indefatigable in the execution of his pastoral office, visiting, relieving, encouraging and absolving the sick with extreme tenderness; and though perpetually exposed to the infection, like Sir John Lawrence, the lord mayor of London in 1665, was never seized with the disease—This last gentleman, with undaunted resolution, continued in the city during the whole time of the calamity, executing the duties of his office with the utmost punctuality. The day after the disease was certainly known to be the plague, above 40,000 servants were dismissed, and turned into the streets to perish, for no one would receive them into their houses: and the villages near London drove them away with pitchforks and fire-arms. Sir John Lawrence supported them all, as well the needy as those who were sick; at first by expending his own fortune, till subscriptions could be solicited and received from all parts of the nation.” (Darwin’s Botanic Garden. Loves of the Plants, canto ii, p. 61.)
