It is not plagiarism for two reasons. Intellectual property rights didn't exist in those days. No one person was stealing anything from another because nobody owned the rights. It was written for God's own glory and to help the people. It was not written for personal use.
Another reason it was not plagiarism is that there was no effort made to hide the source. This was not an attempt to misrepresent any of the material that was written.
