mortality

[…] her minde remembreth her mortalitie,

what so is fayrest shall to earth returne.

[…] actions of Charity do alleviate, as I may say, and take off from the Mortality of the Sin.

[…] the Fevers of Women in Child-bed; to wit, both the Lacteal, and that called Putrid, which, by reason of its Mortality, deserves to be call’d Malignant.

[…] the Mortality was so great in the Yard or Alley, that there was no Body left to give Notice to the Buriers or Sextons, that there were any dead Bodies there to be bury’d.

In foundling hospitals, and among the children brought up by parish charities the mortality is still greater than among those of the common people.

Why am I mockt with death, and length’nd out

To deathless pain? how gladly would I meet

Mortalitie my sentence, and be Earth

Insensible,

It is not fit Mortalitie should knowe

What his eternall prouidence decreed,
