A90298	Immoderate mourning for the dead, prov'd unreasonable and unchristian. Or, Some considerations of general use to allay our sorrow for deceased friends and relations but more especially intended for comfort to parents upon the death of their children. By John Owen, chaplain to the right honourable Henry Lord Grey of Ruthen.	Owen, John, chaplain to Lord Grey of Ruthin.	1680 (1680)	Wing O825aA; ESTC R231417	48,707	156

in_o and_o true_o all_o parent_n will_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v how_o it_o have_v fare_v with_o they_o what_o usage_n and_o entertainment_n they_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o the_o world_n what_o reproach_n and_o slander_n what_o loss_n and_o vexation_n have_v fall_v to_o their_o share_n and_o how_o troublesome_a a_o passage_n they_o have_v have_v and_o i_o do_v not_o question_v but_o that_o upon_o a_o serious_a reflection_n upon_o the_o calamity_n in_o their_o day_n and_o their_o own_o private_a personal_a suffering_n they_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o confess_v with_o old_a jacob_n that_o the_o day_n of_o their_o pilgrimage_n have_v be_v few_o and_o evil_a and_o conclude_v they_o happy_a that_o be_v out_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o all_o parent_n have_v reason_n to_o cease_v mourning_n for_o the_o loss_n and_o death_n of_o their_o child_n upon_o the_o same_o consideration_n which_o we_o may_v well_o suppose_v david_n make_v use_v of_o namely_o that_o they_o be_v pass_v the_o wave_n of_o this_o troublesome_a world_n and_o be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o evil_a to_o come_v five_o another_o thing_n which_o may_v well_o prevent_v david_n extreme_a sorrow_n for_o the_o death_n of_o his_o child_n may_v be_v this_o consideration_n that_o it_o be_v free_v from_o those_o sickness_n and_o disease_n which_o attend_v this_o mortal_a life_n no_o doubt_n but_o david_n upon_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o child_n do_v consider_v what_o innumerable_a disease_n do_v continual_o accost_v and_o prey_n upon_o humane_a body_n as_o first_o the_o many_o weakness_n and_o disease_n that_o be_v natural_a to_o and_o attend_v our_o infancy_n and_o childhood_n as_o the_o great_a pain_n of_o breed_a tooth_n the_o be_v subject_a to_o the_o small_a pox_n to_o engender_v worm_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o rickets_o and_o many_o other_o distemper_n which_o be_v common_a and_o peculiar_a to_o childhood_n beside_o the_o many_o danger_n that_o child_n be_v apt_a to_o run_v into_o and_o the_o sad_a accident_n that_o often_o do_v befall_v they_o whereby_o they_o contract_v either_o lameness_n or_o deformity_n or_o come_v to_o a_o untimely_a end_n and_o if_o we_o have_v the_o good_a fortune_n to_o get_v safe_a over_o our_o childhood_n and_o to_o come_v to_o ripe_a year_n yet_o as_o we_o grow_v strong_a so_o our_o disease_n be_v strong_a and_o in_o our_o youth_n our_o blood_n be_v hot_a and_o feavourish_a and_o quick_o in_o a_o flame_n and_o our_o very_a strength_n of_o nature_n help_v to_o augment_v our_o distemper_n and_o make_v they_o prove_v the_o more_o fatal_a to_o we_o and_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o perfect_a state_n of_o manhood_n our_o very_a dependence_n and_o presumption_n upon_o the_o strength_n and_o benefit_n of_o nature_n make_v we_o bold_a with_o those_o vice_n which_o oftentimes_o help_v to_o cut_v we_o off_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o day_n and_o then_o if_o we_o live_v to_o old_a age_n that_o be_v a_o disease_n of_o itself_o and_o nothing_o but_o sorrow_n be_v our_o portion_n and_o the_o pain_n of_o death_n lie_v hold_v on_o we_o so_o that_o if_o we_o take_v a_o survey_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n and_o of_o our_o passage_n from_o the_o womb_n to_o the_o tomb_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o every_o stage_n and_o period_n of_o this_o mortal_a life_n be_v waylay_v and_o beset_v with_o death_n and_o we_o know_v that_o there_o be_v certain_a dangerous_a season_n in_o the_o age_n of_o man_n which_o we_o call_v climacterical_a year_n wherein_o our_o life_n be_v in_o great_a controversy_n and_o we_o have_v a_o push_n for_o it_o whether_o we_o shall_v live_v or_o die_v and_o true_o there_o be_v so_o many_o disease_n that_o be_v of_o course_n and_o many_o more_o that_o be_v incidental_a and_o happen_v between_o our_o infancy_n and_o youth_n that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a wonder_n that_o we_o ever_o live_v to_o be_v man_n and_o much_o more_o that_o we_o shall_v pass_v all_o those_o casualty_n and_o misfortune_n which_o lie_v all_o along_o in_o our_o way_n to_o the_o age_n of_o threescore_o year_n and_o ten_o and_o moreover_o it_o may_v be_v consider_v what_o a_o great_a fatality_n god_n judgement_n make_v what_o a_o great_a depopulation_n and_o vast_a havoc_n of_o mankind_n the_o plague_n and_o sword_n and_o famine_n do_v make_v and_o that_o when_o these_o come_v they_o sweep_v away_o million_o as_o with_o the_o besom_n of_o destruction_n but_o than_o second_o if_o we_o do_v further_o observe_v how_o many_o sort_n and_o kind_n of_o disease_n there_o be_v in_o the_o world_n how_o that_o new_a disease_n daily_o start_v up_o and_o that_o old_a one_o so_o vary_v and_o alter_v in_o their_o circumstance_n and_o contract_v such_o strange_a degree_n of_o malignity_n that_o they_o become_v new_a too_o how_o also_o that_o some_o disease_n be_v acute_a other_o chronical_a and_o that_o some_o be_v rack_v with_o the_o stone_n other_o torture_v with_o the_o gout_n some_o be_v drown_v in_o a_o dropsy_n other_o burn_v up_o with_o a_o fever_n and_o that_o there_o be_v scarce_o a_o man_n but_o have_v a_o disease_n peculiar_a to_o himself_o and_o proper_a to_o his_o constitution_n and_o die_v something_o a_o several_a way_n from_o his_o fellow_n mortal_n i_o say_v whoever_o shall_v make_v this_o observation_n of_o the_o great_a swarm_n and_o multiplicity_n of_o disease_n which_o assault_n mankind_n and_o that_o whereas_o the_o disease_n now_o mention_v do_v kill_v their_o thousand_o so_o there_o be_v a_o consumption_n which_o kill_v its_o ten_o thousand_o and_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o apollyon_n the_o great_a destroyer_n of_o mankind_n must_v needs_o grant_v that_o the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v in_o jeopardy_n every_o moment_n and_o that_o he_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o misery_n whilst_o he_o live_v but_o if_o my_o courage_n or_o your_o heart_n will_v serve_v you_o to_o go_v into_o the_o hospital_n and_o there_o turn_v over_o the_o great_a volume_n of_o disease_n and_o see_v what_o huge_a havoc_n they_o make_v to_o behold_v how_o the_o canker_n have_v pare_v off_o the_o side_n of_o one_o man_n face_n and_o rot_v off_o another_o nose_n and_o eat_v out_o a_o eye_n and_o carry_v away_o a_o limb_n to_o see_v how_o the_o palsy_n have_v mortify_v another_o and_o strike_v he_o half_o dead_a and_o how_o many_o either_o by_o natural_a or_o vicious_a consumption_n be_v turn_v into_o mere_a skeleton_n and_o walk_a ghost_n and_o be_v only_o the_o shadow_n of_o man_n here_o you_o will_v say_v be_v sad_a spectacle_n of_o mortality_n here_o be_v such_o sight_n of_o humane_a frailty_n as_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v the_o hard_a heart_n to_o bleed_v and_o to_o squeeze_v tear_n from_o a_o stock_n who_o can_v forbear_v weep_v and_o lament_v to_o see_v man_n that_o be_v bear_v of_o a_o woman_n become_v the_o spoil_n of_o so_o many_o disease_n and_o to_o be_v anatomize_v and_o dissect_v even_o alive_a here_o than_o we_o may_v see_v the_o sad_a and_o dismal_a ruin_n of_o these_o fleshly_a body_n and_o what_o miserable_a creature_n we_o be_v when_o god_n be_v please_v to_o afflict_v and_o to_o lay_v sore_o and_o grievous_a disease_n upon_o we_o and_o true_o we_o be_v all_o subject_n to_o various_a and_o manifold_a disease_n which_o issue_n forth_o in_o effect_n according_a to_o their_o several_a kind_n and_o quality_n the_o matter_n of_o most_o disease_n lie_v lodge_v in_o our_o nature_n and_o brood_n within_o we_o and_o we_o have_v the_o unhappiness_n to_o inherit_v some_o disease_n by_o traduction_n from_o our_o parent_n and_o there_o be_v many_o more_o which_o be_v hatch_v by_o our_o vice_n and_o prove_v the_o most_o deadly_a and_o mortiferous_a some_o disease_n be_v so_o favourable_a as_o to_o carry_v off_o quiet_o and_o speedy_o and_o other_o be_v more_o cruel_a and_o like_o the_o tyrant_n multiply_v our_o death_n and_o kill_v we_o by_o piece-meal_n and_o nothing_o be_v a_o true_a observation_n than_o this_o that_o we_o no_o soon_o begin_v to_o live_v but_o we_o proceed_v to_o die_v and_o be_v every_o day_n go_v forward_o and_o step_v towards_o the_o grave_a but_o then_o although_o life_n be_v a_o sweet_a and_o precious_a thing_n in_o itself_o and_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o all_o man_n to_o desire_v to_o spin_v out_o the_o thread_n of_o life_n to_o the_o utmost_a length_n yet_o god_n may_v send_v those_o

that_o his_o life_n be_v a_o burden_n to_o he_o and_o he_o do_v frequent_o and_o passionate_o beg_v of_o god_n to_o do_v he_o the_o favour_n to_o dispatch_v he_o and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o his_o day_n
