Use the following excerpt from boccaccio's the decameron to answer the following question:
"in the year of our lord 1348, there happened at florence, the finest city in all italy a most terrible plague, which, whether owing to the influence of the
planets, or that it was sent from god as a just punishment for our sins, had broken out some years before in the levant (middle east) and, after passing
from place to place, and making incredible havoc all the way, had now reached the west."

based on the passage, how would boccaccio likely feel about the actions of the flagellants, who warned christians to repent?
he would find their actions sinful because they accused god,
he would find their actions appropriate because the church was corrupt.
he would find their actions appropriate because he believed human sin may have caused the plague
he would find their actions inappropriate because he was certain the planets caused the plague.
