world_n let_v we_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v endeavour_v the_o salvation_n of_o their_o soul_n and_o let_v we_o strive_v to_o receive_v what_o good_a we_o can_v from_o they_o for_o we_o know_v not_o how_o speedy_o death_n may_v make_v a_o separation_n between_o we_o and_o they_o three_o hence_o i_o infer_v that_o when_o we_o enjoy_v any_o outward_a comfort_n we_o ought_v to_o be_v continual_o expect_v and_o prepare_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o they_o let_v we_o not_o think_v that_o we_o shall_v always_o enjoy_v they_o but_o look_v upon_o they_o as_o fade_v and_o uncertain_a let_v we_o endeavour_v to_o wean_v ourselves_o from_o they_o to_o use_v they_o as_o if_o we_o use_v they_o not_o in_o this_o respect_n let_v those_o who_o have_v wife_n and_o child_n be_v as_o if_o they_o have_v none_o that_o affliction_n which_o come_v unlooked_a for_o usual_o come_v unprepared_a for_o the_o more_o loose_a we_o sit_v from_o our_o outward_a comfort_n when_o we_o have_v they_o the_o more_o easy_o shall_v we_o part_v with_o they_o jacob_n can_v better_v part_n with_o his_o ten_o other_o son_n into_o the_o land_n of_o egypt_n than_o with_o his_o benjamin_n that_o almost_o bring_v his_o grey_a hair_n with_o sorrow_n to_o the_o grave_a no_o wonder_n if_o we_o immoderate_o grieve_v for_o those_o thing_n when_o absent_a which_o we_o immoderate_o love_v when_o present_a by_o die_v daily_o to_o they_o let_v we_o prepare_v to_o follow_v they_o to_o their_o grave_n four_o i_o infer_v how_o unreasonable_a it_o be_v for_o we_o to_o be_v surprise_v when_o any_o of_o our_o outward_a comfort_n be_v remove_v from_o we_o these_o fiery_a trial_n shall_v not_o be_v think_v strange_a of_o by_o we_o for_o no_o strange_a thing_n have_v happen_v to_o we_o if_o we_o think_v they_o durable_a we_o be_v mistake_v about_o they_o and_o if_o we_o think_v they_o uncertain_a and_o vanish_v why_o shall_v we_o be_v surprise_v when_o they_o disappear_v it_o be_v a_o excellent_a say_n of_o a_o heathen_a when_o one_o tell_v he_o of_o his_o son_n death_n sciebam_fw-la i_o genuisse_fw-la mortales_fw-la i_o know_v that_o i_o beget_v mortal_n o_o parent_n do_v not_o you_o know_v that_o
