to_o heart_n the_o death_n of_o our_o friend_n and_o relation_n and_o to_o pine_v away_o mere_o for_o sorrow_n that_o they_o be_v go_v whereas_o they_o be_v now_o free_v from_o all_o the_o sorrow_n

that_o they_o have_v endure_v one_o brunt_n for_o all_o that_o they_o have_v charge_v that_o enemy_n home_o which_o we_o so_o much_o fear_v and_o must_v expect_v every_o day_n to_o encounter_v

it_o be_v high_o unreasonable_a to_o mourn_v and_o sorrow_n for_o the_o dead_a they_o be_v past_o all_o possibility_n of_o disease_n and_o far_o remove_v from_o this_o climate_n of_o sickness_n and_o death_n six_o another_o thing_n which_o may_v restrain_v david_n sorrow_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o child_n may_v be_v this_o consideration_n that_o it_o be_v release_v from_o the_o great_a pain_n and_o misery_n which_o it_o late_o feel_v and_o endure_v it_o be_v certain_a and_o indubitable_a that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o quit_v its_o mansion_n of_o the_o body_n without_o great_a strive_n and_o reluctancy_n and_o though_o it_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o child_n be_v but_o in_o its_o infancy_n and_o new_o in_o possession_n of_o life_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n have_v contract_v but_o a_o late_a acquaintance_n and_o that_o the_o friendship_n be_v very_o new_a yet_o where_o there_o be_v such_o a_o strict_a conjunction_n as_o there_o be_v between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n though_o but_o for_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n the_o separation_n can_v be_v without_o great_a grief_n and_o sorrow_n where_o there_o be_v such_o a_o close_a union_n and_o intimacy_n there_o be_v no_o part_n without_o pain_n and_o trouble_v and_o consequent_o though_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o child_n be_v now_o just_o enter_v into_o its_o new_a tenement_n yet_o it_o be_v so_o firm_o settle_v and_o have_v take_v that_o deep_a root_n that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v remove_v or_o eject_v out_o of_o possession_n without_o great_a disturbance_n and_o therefore_o to_o see_v a_o child_n struggle_v for_o life_n and_o to_o have_v only_a breath_n enough_o to_o entitle_v it_o to_o life_n can_v not_o but_o wonderful_o affect_v and_o produce_v great_a agony_n of_o sorrow_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o spectator_n and_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o man_n have_v natural_o that_o compassion_n as_o to_o pity_v even_o a_o brute_n when_o it_o lie_v in_o pain_n and_o misery_n and_o

sickness_n to_o death_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o ease_v and_o relieve_v it_o can_v not_o but_o reflect_v upon_o it_o as_o a_o singular_a mercy_n of_o god_n to_o take_v away_o the_o child_n and_o to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o such_o a_o painful_a and_o miserable_a life_n david_n can_v not_o forbear_v weep_v and_o sad_o lament_v over_o his_o child_n when_o he_o see_v it_o in_o the_o

it_o a_o happy_a issue_n out_o of_o this_o troublesome_a world_n than_o david_n begin_v to_o be_v better_o satisfy_v and_o to_o be_v somewhat_o comfort_v with_o the_o consideration_n that_o god_n have_v in_o mercy_n release_v his_o child_n from_o that_o pain_n and_o misery_n which_o it_o late_o undergo_v and_o the_o sight_n whereof_o will_v have_v pierce_v the_o hard_a heart_n live_v so_o

one_o of_o the_o other_o must_v needs_o conclude_v their_o part_n and_o separation_n to_o be_v a_o more_o dismal_a and_o amaze_a sight_n than_o a_o divorce_n between_o the_o most_o desperate_a lover_n
