say_v st._n paul_n be_v mortal_a then_o let_v we_o not_o marvel_v if_o in_o winter_n there_o be_v rain_n frost_n and_o snow_n for_o the_o season_n bring_v it_o let_v we_o not_o marvel_v that_o the_o

want_v of_o consider_v it_o be_v cause_n oftentimes_o that_o at_o the_o death_n of_o our_o friend_n we_o be_v so_o amaze_v as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n prodigious_a and_o not_o accustom_v when_o

why_o be_v we_o discontent_v because_o he_o have_v quit_v himself_o and_o pay_v what_o he_o ought_v if_o he_o have_v pay_v his_o king_n the_o tribute_n and_o ordinary_a tax_n we_o will_v approve_v of_o that_o as_o most_o right_o and_o a_o obedience_n and_o duty_n towards_o his_o prince_n and_o if_o he_o have_v do_v as_o much_o to_o nature_n what_o reason_n be_v there_o to_o grieve_v at_o it_o again_o that_o in_o it_o god_n hear_v we_o for_o we_o ask_v of_o god_n that_o his_o kingdom_n come_v and_o that_o his_o will_v be_v do_v what_o do_v we_o jest_v with_o god_n ask_v he_o that_o which_o we_o will_v not_o have_v and_o fear_v to_o obtain_v and_o do_v vex_v ourselves_o and_o murmur_n instead_o of_o give_v he_o thanks_o when_o he_o have_v grant_v our_o request_n we_o show_v well_o that_o

not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n cirus_n speak_v to_o his_o friend_n before_o his_o death_n to_o comfort_v they_o say_v do_v not_o think_v when_o i_o shall_v be_v dead_a that_o i_o be_o lose_v or_o shall_v come_v to_o nothing_o when_o we_o sow_v a_o land_n the_o grain_n of_o corn_n be_v not_o lose_v they_o rot_v therein_o but_o it_o be_v the_o better_a to_o fructify_v

which_o shall_v be_v invincible_a against_o all_o adversity_n and_o even_o against_o the_o gate_n of_o hell_n he_o shall_v be_v like_o a_o building_n ground_v upon_o a_o firm_a rock_n that_o may_v hold_v firm_a against_o all_o the_o storm_n wave_n and_o wind_n and_o all_o the_o inconvenience_n wherewith_o he_o may_v be_v assail_v he_o must_v not_o be_v soft_a and_o yield_v present_o to_o adversity_n melt_v in_o tear_n and_o therein_o drown_v as_o david_n say_v his_o bed_n the_o lucian_n in_o time_n past_o have_v a_o law_n by_o the_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v that_o whosoever_o will_v weep_v for_o the_o death_n of_o his_o friend_n shall_v put_v on_o woman_n clothes_n to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v more_o answer_v to_o a_o cowardly_a and_o esseminate_a heat_n than_o to_o manly_a

may_v we_o judge_v of_o such_o courage_n that_o if_o they_o can_v bear_v adversity_n without_o impatience_n no_o more_o can_v they_o prosperity_n without_o insolency_n we_o must_v final_o consider_v that_o by_o the_o tear_n and_o complaint_n which_o we_o use_v at_o death_n of_o our_o friend_n we_o do_v not_o remedy_v ourselves_o no_o more_o than_o do_v the_o sick_a man_n his_o disease_n by_o his_o sigh_n but_o rather_o do_v increase_v his_o misery_n and_o we_o may_v say_v that_o even_o as_o by_o common_a experience_n and_o the_o report_n of_o physician_n we_o see_v in_o choleric_a folk_n that_o the_o more_o they_o anger_v themselves_o their_o rage_n and_o choler_n do_v augment_v also_o in_o the_o mournful_a and_o heavy_a people_n that_o continue_v in_o their_o tear_n and_o

thou_o reciprocal_o and_o as_o friend_n will_v always_o frequent_a and_o accompany_v thou_o what_o then_o do_v this_o great_a mourn_a profit_n we_o if_o not_o to_o make_v we_o more_o miserable_a ay_o but_o will_v some_o say_v in_o excuse_v themselves_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a thing_n to_o weep_v at_o such_o a_o accident_n i_o agree_v to_o it_o neither_o will_v i_o condemn_v a_o moderate_a sorrow_n as_o i_o certain_a man_n see_v a_o ancient_a philosopher_n weep_v for_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n and_o do_v reprove_v his_o inconstaney_n he_o answer_v he_o very_o well_o say_v good_a friend_n suffer_v i_o to_o be_v a_o man._n we_o must_v not_o be_v like_o barbarian_n or_o savage_a beast_n without_o humanity_n without_o affection_n without_o pity_n nor_o feel_v i_o wish_v say_v pinder_n not_o to_o be_v sick_a but_o if_o i_o be_o i_o will_v not_o be_v without_o feeling_n for_o it_o be_v a_o evil_a sign_n when_o in_o our_o sickness_n we_o be_v dull_a and_o feel_v nothing_o then_o when_o in_o our_o mourn_a we_o shall_v keep_v the_o mean_a and_o shall_v avoid_v the_o two_o extreme_n which_o st._n basil_n do_v condemn_v as_o vicious_a which_o be_v that_o we_o be_v not_o stoic_n that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o affection_n nor_o soft_a on_o the_o other_o side_n to_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v win_v and_o overcome_v with_o sorrow_n i_o do_v approve_v that_o if_o we_o

dear_o if_o thou_o love_v he_o so_o dear_o as_o thou_o say_v show_v it_o and_o rejoice_v at_o his_o happiness_n and_o rest_n i_o rather_o believe_v that_o which_o cause_v in_o we_o this_o great_a

to_o they_o but_o to_o ourselves_o being_n discontens_fw-fr to_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o pleasure_n and_o consolation_n which_o they_o give_v we_o which_o jesus_n christ_n say_v unto_o his_o
