Car. ad Lycinium Ode 10. Our Latine Pindarus could say Non si malè nunc olim sic erit It is a strange storm that lasteth euer Nocte pluit tota redeunt spectacula manè which I english by a better Poet Psal 30.5 Weeping may endure for a night but ioy commeth in the morning Many are the troubles of the Righteous Psal 34.50 These words Many troubles are able to amaze many a man but what followeth The Lord deliuereth out of all This is able to comfort and raise vp any man In the Gospell of Saint Iohn we haue the promise of our Sauiour Iohn 16.20 Verily verily I say vnto you Christi iuramentum Christianorum sit fundamentum saith Augustine Christs oath and strong asseueration may be to christians the stay and staffe of consolation And what is Christs asseueration Ye shall weepe and lament and the world shall reioyce and yee shall sorrow but your sorrow shall bee turned to ioy Gen. 8.4 Long was righteous Noah tossed with a tempest but at the last hee and his Arke rested vpon the mountains of Ararat from whence the sweet Singer of Israel tooke the originall of the Bibles briefe a sentence full of consolation Psal 55.22 Cast thy burden vpon the LORD and hee shall nourish thee Non dabit in aeternum

misery haue an end And to take a suruey of this Hebron This City had three names At the first it was called Mamree of the name of the first founder and builder of it Gen. 13.18 Afterwards it was called Kiriath-arba of one Arba a great man among the Anakims who repaired the same Iosh 14.14 and 15.14 Lastly it was called Hebron of the nephew of faithfull Caleb 1 Chro. 2.4.2 It is most certaine that at this time it was the Metropolitan and Lady City of the whole land hauing vnder it many other Cities Iosh 10.37 As it is said of Sion Psal 87.3 So it may in some sort be said of Hebron glorious things are spoken of it First Antiquity Num. 13.23 it was an ancient City seauen yeares ancienter then Zoan in Aegypt Secondly it was a Princely City euen a mansion for a King Io. 10.3 Thirdly it was for Calebs worthy seruice giuen to him for an inheritance Iosh 14.14 Fourthly it was appointed for one of the Cities of refuge and giuen for the Leuites to dwell in Iosh 20.7 Iosh 21.11.12 Fiftly in it Dauid first reigned ouer Gods people 2 Sam. 2.1.11 Sixtly to this came the blessed Virgin the mother of our Lord Iesus Christ to visit Elizabeth Luke 1.39 Lastly it became a place of buriall for many worthy persons 2 Sam. 4.12 Here was buried Abraham and his Sarah Gen. 23.2 Isaac and his Rebecca Iacob and his Leah Gen. 49.31 The first letters of the principall of all their names who were buried in one graue are contained in that one name of Israel And in this place some affirme was buried great Adam the first Father of vs all Hierom The obseruation which I collect is that sinne and sinners staine pollute and defile all things Gen. 6.7 Rom. 8.20 yea maketh each place where they come a hell Fulk in locum Apoc. 2.13 Ibi thronus Satanae vbi pietas profligata impietas verò summa regnat There is a hell where grace and goodnesse is shoued out and where sinne and iniquity beareth the sway So on the other side wheresoeuer grace and goodnesse is whersoeuer a good man treadeth he giueth a dignity and a kind of sanctity vnto it he imprinteth on it and into it a kinde of eminency and inuesteth it with firme and constant stabilitie To goe no further then my Text Kiriath-arba is made excellent by Abraham and Sarah and from their time is made a sanctuary and refuge and a seat for a godly king to sit vpon What hath the spirit of God obserued concerning the death of this worthy personage Here is neuer a word of the disease whereof she dyed not a word of the last words which she spake which questionlesse were comfortable holy and heauenly But the holy Ghost windeth vp all in three or foure words Mortua est in Hebron leauing the rest to our further consideration These words Mortua est shee died in Hebron wisheth vs to meditate vpon the precedent history It is well knowne to all such as are conuersant and exercised in the holy Story the blessed Bible and booke of God that the mother of the faithful Sarah bare her sonne Isaac at Beersheba thirty seauen yeares before her death Gen. 17.17 compared with Gen. 21.2 As also that at Beersheba Abimelech made a league with Abraham the tenure whereof was That the one should not hurt the other Gen. 21.23 Hereupon Abraham supposing hee should set vp his staffe rest for euer and lay his bones did there plant a groue Gen. 21.33.4 And when the Lord by especiall commandement sent him to mount Moriah to offer his sonne for tryall of his faith and obedience Gen. 22.2 he returned backe to Beersheba and there dwelt Gen. 22.19 Yet for all this Sarah dyeth not there but dyeth at Hebron certaine miles distant from it It is very probable that after the death of Abimelech that good and moderate King the inhabitants brake the league before made troubled Abraham in so much that now in his old age when more then one foot was in the graue this godly aged gray-headed man with his aged wife are constrained to seeke a new seate Luthar and in this their remouall religious Sarah dyeth Dyeth I say Paulus ab Eitzen lib. 1. pag. 6●1 in absence of her yoake-fellow Abraham and happily without the presence of her sonne and other acquaintance dyeth in a strange place and among strangers Chr.
