one_o of_o which_o may_v just_o occasion_v a_o lamentation_n 1._o for_o first_o to_o die_v to_o leave_v these_o splendid_a habitation_n for_o a_o cold_a grave_n to_o leave_v dear_a friend_n to_o converse_v with_o putrefaction_n and_o rottenness_n to_o have_v these_o beautiful_a pile_n tumble_v into_o confusion_n and_o dust_n to_o have_v our_o vast_a possession_n and_o manor_n shrink_v up_o into_o a_o few_o foot_n of_o earth_n a_o pitchy_a sheet_n and_o a_o strait_a coffin_n be_v to_o most_o man_n live_v sad_a story_n and_o the_o thought_n of_o they_o rare_o entertain_v without_o sigh_n and_o a_o tear_n mourn_v be_v therefore_o one_o attendant_a always_o upon_o funeral_n among_o the_o jew_n there_o be_v always_o a_o set_n of_o common_a mourner_n that_o their_o mourning_n may_v be_v more_o solemn_a and_o their_o lamentation_n more_o affective_a and_o i_o find_v it_o threaten_v as_o a_o judgement_n to_o jehojakim_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o inglorious_a and_o contemptible_a burial_n and_o shall_v have_v none_o to_o make_v formal_a lamentation_n for_o he_o jer._n 22.18_o and_o whoever_o consult_v the_o genius_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n will_v find_v its_o compassion_n be_v as_o great_a its_o affection_n as_o quick_a and_o its_o sense_n as_o tender_v as_o before_o and_o all_o it_o design_n in_o this_o case_n be_v not_o to_o dam_v up_o the_o fountain_n but_o take_v care_n that_o it_o flow_v only_o in_o due_a measure_n not_o that_o we_o sorrow_n not_o at_o all_o but_o that_o we_o sorrow_n in_o due_a proportion_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o faith_n and_o with_o the_o abatement_n and_o intermixture_n of_o christian_a hope_n for_o that_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o limitation_n in_o the_o apostolical_a canon_n that_o you_o sorrow_n not_o as_o the_o gentile_n which_o have_v no_o hope_n 1_o thess_n 4.13_o but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o small_a matter_n and_o the_o least_o of_o these_o consideration_n for_o if_o death_n be_v just_a matter_n of_o lamentation_n certain_o the_o death_n of_o a_o king_n be_v much_o more_o so_o when_o the_o tall_a cedar_n bow_v and_o the_o strong_a oak_n crack_v and_o be_v make_v to_o stoop_v low_a and_o compel_v to_o lie_v prostrate_a upon_o the_o breast_n of_o their_o common_a mother_n then_o as_o the_o storm_n be_v more_o strong_a so_o it_o be_v more_o awaken_n and_o summon_v the_o most_o serious_a regard_n and_o most_o real_a resentment_n and_o so_o it_o be_v also_o in_o this_o matter_n for_o when_o death_n knock_v but_o at_o the_o common_a door_n the_o mourner_n strike_v but_o the_o common_a key_n but_o when_o it_o rifle_v palace_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o chamber_n of_o king_n and_o those_o that_o be_v god_n die_v like_o man_n and_o fall_v equal_a trophy_n to_o this_o rude_a conqueror_n and_o be_v drag_v after_o the_o wheel_n of_o his_o triumph_a chariot_n there_o you_o shall_v see_v always_o the_o scene_n be_v dress_v with_o all_o the_o solemnity_n of_o the_o deep_a sorrow_n the_o crowd_n of_o mourner_n be_v great_a and_o the_o herald_n skill_n be_v needful_a to_o marshal_v the_o troop_n and_o to_o preserve_v order_n in_o the_o great_a confusion_n and_o this_o want_v not_o good_a appearance_n of_o reason_n to_o plead_v its_o justification_n for_o as_o the_o wise_a jew_n account_v david_n worth_a ten_o thousand_o of_o they_o &_o his_o life_n of_o more_o value_n than_o the_o life_n of_o thrice_o so_o many_o thousand_o of_o common_a person_n so_o indeed_o have_v all_o wise_a &_o civilise_a nation_n account_v after_o the_o same_o rate_n and_o as_o they_o have_v solemnize_v the_o natalitia_fw-la of_o their_o king_n with_o all_o expression_n of_o public_a joy_n so_o they_o have_v observe_v the_o day_n of_o their_o death_n with_o as_o great_a demonstration_n of_o mourn_a when_o david_n in_o solemn_a manner_n lament_v the_o death_n of_o abner_n he_o give_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n he_o think_v for_o it_o in_o say_v know_v you_o not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o prince_n and_o a_o great_a man_n fall_v this_o day_n in_o israel_n and_o certain_o if_o the_o fall_n of_o a_o prince_n much_o more_o the_o fall_n of_o a_o king_n also_o will_v warrant_v mourning_n and_o if_o david_n may_v just_o lament_v the_o death_n of_o abner_n he_o may_v more_o just_o do_v so_o upon_o the_o death_n of_o saul_n but_o this_o also_o be_v much_o short_a of_o what_o yet_o remain_v unconsidered_a for_o if_o the_o death_n of_o king_n be_v just_a matter_n of_o sorrow_n than_o the_o more_o untimely_a and_o violent_a and_o preternatural_a the_o death_n be_v the_o more_o afflicted_o ought_v it_o still_o to_o be_v resent_v when_o the_o taper_n die_v regular_o have_v consume_v all_o its_o oil_n and_o exhaust_v all_o its_o store_n of_o moisture_n it_o expire_v quiet_o and_o no_o man_n be_v much_o concern_v at_o it_o but_o when_o it_o meet_v with_o a_o interruption_n by_o the_o rude_a caress_n of_o a_o impetuous_a blast_n than_o its_o snuff_n grow_v offensive_a and_o all_o man_n take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o be_v concern_v at_o the_o disaster_n and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o king_n in_o this_o case_n when_o they_o come_v into_o their_o sepulcher_n as_o shock_n of_o corn_n full_o ripen_v and_o in_o their_o season_n as_o eliphaz_n elegant_o job_n 5.26_o when_o they_o die_v the_o common_a death_n of_o all_o man_n and_o go_v down_o to_o the_o grave_n in_o a_o good_a old_a age_n have_v honourable_o pass_v all_o the_o stage_n and_o period_n of_o humane_a life_n there_o we_o pay_v they_o common_o but_o a_o common_a

abatement_n from_o the_o remembrance_n that_o god_n spare_v they_o to_o we_o so_o long_o but_o when_o these_o fall_n like_o untimely_a fruit_n shake_v by_o a_o unseasonable_a violent_a unkind_a wind_n there_o the_o channel_n be_v full_a the_o stream_n run_v high_a the_o accent_n be_v deep_a the_o minstrel_n strike_v the_o dolefull_a note_n and_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o david_n here_o man_n common_o ever_o exceed_v in_o their_o expression_n of_o grief_n for_o so_o when_o good_a josiah_n fall_v by_o the_o arm_n of_o the_o assyrian_n at_o the_o river_n euphrates_n the_o people_n lament_v the_o sad_a accident_n at_o megiddo_n with_o a_o sorrow_n that_o for_o the_o greatness_n of_o it_o become_v proverbial_a and_o yet_o the_o great_a of_o these_o consideration_n be_v behind_o for_o if_o all_o these_o thing_n happen_v without_o any_o fault_n or_o concurrence_n of_o we_o than_o our_o sorrow_n even_o from_o thence_o receive_v a_o great_a extenuation_n but_o if_o we_o have_v any_o way_n be_v contributive_a to_o the_o mischief_n or_o be_v negligent_a and_o fail_v to_o do_v our_o utmost_a towards_o prevent_v of_o it_o than_o indeed_o our_o sorrow_n be_v much_o more_o just_a yea_o it_o be_v necessary_a i_o put_v these_o two_o together_o in_o one_o period_n and_o consideration_n you_o see_v and_o true_o i_o do_v not_o know_v well_o how_o to_o part_v or_o distinguish_v betwixt_o they_o for_o though_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o absolute_o consider_v and_o he_o that_o actual_o embrue_v his_o hand_n in_o blood_n be_v more_o guilty_a than_o he_o that_o pass_v by_o and_o do_v not_o endeavour_v to_o rescue_v though_o even_o he_o be_v great_o guilty_a also_o yet_o in_o this_o case_n i_o be_o now_o upon_o there_o be_v little_a or_o no_o difference_n at_o all_o for_o subject_n be_v as_o equal_o oblige_v to_o assist_v their_o king_n in_o all_o strait_n and_o danger_n as_o not_o to_o resist_v or_o rise_v up_o against_o they_o to_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o same_o and_o their_o failure_n in_o the_o first_o be_v as_o criminal_a as_o do_v the_o second_o and_o only_o differ_v from_o it_o as_o the_o cause_n from_o the_o effect_n for_o therefore_o some_o man_n be_v encourage_v to_o attempt_v the_o latter_a because_o other_o be_v negligent_a and_o fail_v in_o the_o former_a upon_o which_o reason_n it_o be_v certain_a if_o either_o exceed_v in_o guilt_n it_o be_v the_o former_a i_o take_v this_o occasion_n to_o discourse_v a_o little_a this_o matter_n because_o of_o a_o great_a and_o a_o most_o dangerous_a mistake_n that_o i_o observe_v to_o be_v epidemical_a and_o common_a about_o it_o for_o as_o some_o man_n boast_v they_o obey_v the_o law_n if_o they_o quiet_o submit_v to_o the_o penalty_n and_o pay_v the_o forfeiture_n as_o well_o as_o he_o that_o perform_v the_o positive_a duty_n for_o the_o neglect_n of_o which_o the_o former_a penalty_n be_v threaten_v so_o other_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o commend_v
