Ezekiel14:19

19 ¶ Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:

Diseases are sent when ever they come, especially wasting diseases, which empty Nations and Cities apace.

Gods Arrow that flyes from Gods Bow.

Not drop, or distil on a people in small measures and by leisure, but in great measures and hastily, as waters are poured out of a vessel all at once almost.

Sometime blood does denote war, but here, and in many other places, it denotes death and destruction of men, though not by the Sword.

Not that Beasts dye of the same Pestilential disease which kills man, but, either death of men by Pestilence emptieth the Nation, that there are not men to take care and provide for the Beasts. Or, rather because, when Pestilence wasteth men, Murrains and Plague of Cattel, from the same infected Air, and from the hand of God waste the Beasts also.
