our_o heart_n the_o hand_n as_o ant._n guevara_n observe_v do_v work_n the_o sit_fw-mi do_v walk_v the_o tongue_n speak_v but_o it_o be_v the_o heart_n only_o that_o weep_v the_o eye_n be_v but_o

than_o our_o dead_a friend_n which_o our_o heart_n ought_v much_o to_o be_v affect_v withal_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v to_o the_o woman_n of_o jerusalem_n when_o he_o be_v go_v to_o the_o most_o

mourn_v more_o than_o you_o do_v if_o you_o have_v not_o yet_o mourn_v for_o your_o sin_n and_o amend_v they_o but_o if_o you_o have_v then_o rejoice_v in_o the_o favour_n of_o god_n and_o bless_v he_o for_o his_o son_n jesus_n who_o be_v better_o to_o thou_o then_o ten_o son_n or_o all_o thy_o friend_n which_o thou_o lament_v be_v our_o sin_n dead_a as_o well_o as_o our_o friend_n have_v we_o bury_v they_o in_o the_o grave_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v we_o rise_v again_o to_o a_o heavenly_a life_n let_v we_o go_v then_o to_o god_n and_o pray_v to_o he_o and_o praise_v he_o and_o this_o will_v give_v we_o ease_v but_o if_o we_o be_v trouble_v for_o sin_n then_o sure_o we_o shall_v not_o add_v another_o sin_n by_o immoderate_a sorrow_n and_o forgetfulness_n of_o god_n goodness_n if_o it_o be_v sin_n we_o hate_v than_o mourn_a complaint_n and_o discontent_n must_v all_o be_v hate_v will_v you_o indispose_v yourself_o to_o pray_v to_o praise_n god_n and_o meditate_v in_o his_o sacred_a

how_o short_a your_o mourning_n must_v be_v you_o will_v soon_o guess_v and_o the_o sun_n must_v not_o go_v down_o upon_o your_o grief_n no_o more_o than_o it_o must_v upon_o your_o wrath_n but_o if_o you_o take_v no_o great_a care_n whether_o you_o disturb_v your_o soul_n or_o no_o than_o you_o have_v most_o reason_n to_o mourn_v for_o that_o carelessness_n and_o neglect_n go_v then_o and_o

when_o they_o be_v so_o sad_a and_o incline_v to_o be_v sorrowful_a tell_v they_o that_o now_o they_o be_v very_o well_o dispose_v for_o a_o necessary_a business_n and_o bid_v they_o look_v if_o

when_o thou_o shall_v cease_v all_o sin_n have_v thou_o not_o be_v careless_a of_o seek_v god_n have_v thou_o not_o foolish_o waste_v thy_o precious_a time_n and_o be_v thou_o not_o trouble_v at_o all_o for_o that_o yea_o be_v thou_o now_o impatient_a as_o if_o god_n deal_v hardly_o with_o thou_o and_o will_v thou_o spend_v more_o time_n bad_o when_o thou_o be_v teach_v by_o the_o death_n of_o thy_o friend_n how_o short_a it_o be_v it_o be_v most_o incongruous_a thus_o to_o bewail_v the_o death_n of_o a_o child_n or_o acquaintance_n when_o thou_o be_v like_a to_o die_v thyself_o both_o body_n and_o soul_n and_o when_o thou_o have_v mourn_v for_o thy_o sin_n thou_o will_v be_v teach_v thereby_o how_o little_a thou_o ought_v to_o mourn_v for_o thy_o loss_n for_o even_o our_o tear_n for_o sin_n must_v not_o be_v immoderate_a and_o therefore_o much_o less_o must_v we_o dare_v to_o let_v they_o flow_v in_o abundance_n for_o our_o loss_n so_o you_o know_v the_o great_a apostle_n
