Here is an excerpt from a booklet created for Preussisch Friedland's 550 Anniversary:
On the 11 August 1709, the plague broke out in PF and raged so badly
up to the 28 March 1710 that the city which counted hardly 1000
souls at that time, lost 285 Protestants and 93 Catholics who died
in 7 1/2 months, a ratio, that shows the low number of the Catholic citizens.
Jews are on this occasion not at all mentioned because no Jews were
allowed to live up to the beginning of the 19 century in the city at
all, but their apartments were between PF and Dobrin itself drawn
out in the Jewish-alley. Whole families died in few days so that it
is not astonishing, if one notices, after the departure of this
dreadful illness, of the pastor's remark in the church-book:
Now is the whole decision and suspicion of the Contagion; is our God
your and power praise, price and thanks said in saecula sunpiterna. Amen.
With satisfaction, he notices at the same time however: In this
plague-time, not a single one of the ours is buried without a coffin
which has often happened with the Catholics on command of the priest.
