A96863	The saints entrance into peace and rest by death: as it was held forth in a sermon / preached at the funerall of that honourable statesman, and ever to be valued father and lover of his country, Sir William Armyne baronet one of the members of the high court of Parliament: in the day when hee was buryed with his fathers, being honourably but mournfully attended from London where he dyed, to Lenton in Lincolnshire, where he was interred, in the ancient sepulchre of his ancestors, May 10. 1651. By Seth Wood preacher of the Gospel at Lenton.	Wood, Seth.	1651 (1651)	Wing W3406; Thomason E632_8; ESTC R206455	20,106	28

death_n and_o call_v it_o but_o sleep_n thomas_n be_v content_a to_o die_v also_o it_o be_v easy_o apply_v to_o our_o purpose_n that_o saint_n shall_v no_o more_o fear_n to_o die_v then_o rest_n in_o bed_n and_o sleep_n for_o though_o death_n do_v but_o somewhat_o rugged_o rock_n as_o to_o sleep_v yet_o if_o the_o rock_n shake_v and_o be_v uneasy_a the_o rest_n be_v sweet_a and_o quiet_a as_o this_o our_o dear_a and_o noble_a friend_n find_v who_o now_o sleep_v with_o his_o father_n and_o enjoy_v the_o precious_a thing_n of_o the_o everlasting_a hill_n while_o poor_a we_o must_v walk_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n for_o a_o season_n and_o now_o turn_v we_o from_o death_n to_o the_o dead_a and_o sure_o but_o that_o we_o must_v perfect_o submit_v to_o say_v every_o hard_a word_n after_o god_n it_o be_v a_o very_a hard_a word_n indeed_o to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a methinks_v this_o honourable_a but_o mournful_a company_n look_v like_o that_o goodly_a train_n which_o come_v up_o with_o old_a jacob_n out_o of_o egypt_n in_o the_o day_n when_o they_o bring_v his_o body_n from_o goshen_n to_o machpelah_n the_o sepulchre_n of_o his_o father_n to_o be_v bury_v and_o i_o think_v this_o place_n look_v like_o the_o floor_n of_o arnon_n where_o they_o mourn_v with_o a_o very_a sore_a lamentation_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n so_o that_o the_o country_n people_n call_v it_o able_a mizraim_n vers_fw-la 11._o which_o place_n as_o it_o proper_o suit_n with_o our_o posture_n so_o it_o justify_v great_a mourning_n for_o person_n signal_o useful_a to_o their_o people_n and_o serviceable_a to_o god_n and_o it_o also_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o beside_o the_o rule_n to_o set_v up_o memorial_n of_o their_o worth_n and_o service_n a_o stepping-stone_n may_v serve_v at_o the_o head_n of_o such_o a_o mean_a grave_n as_o i_o but_o sure_o a_o pillar_n will_v be_v build_v upon_o such_o a_o grave_n as_o he_o as_o jacob_n do_v on_o his_o belove_a rachell_n and_o though_o all_o the_o book_n pass_v with_o blank_n in_o the_o margin_n yet_o such_o a_o sentence_n as_o his_o life_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o marginal_a note_n and_o here_o if_o i_o shall_v put_v off_o the_o divine_a and_o take_v up_o the_o orator_n alas_o his_o worth_n will_v be_v above_o my_o oratory_n it_o be_v a_o task_n fit_a for_o some_o of_o those_o old_a hony-mouthed_a roman_n but_o yet_o he_o will_v be_v super_fw-la rostra_fw-la above_o their_o stand_a stool_n for_o he_o must_v be_v christian_a as_o well_o as_o orator_n who_o understand_v or_o tell_v his_o worth_n for_o his_o christianity_n be_v his_o best_a part_n which_o a_o heathen_a orator_n will_v leave_v behind_o if_o i_o shall_v adventure_v to_o make_v a_o rough_a draught_n of_o he_o i_o shall_v never_o do_v it_o as_o the_o life_n yet_o see_v that_o providence_n have_v put_v the_o pencil_n in_o my_o hand_n i_o will_v draw_v and_o though_o it_o be_v nothing_o so_o beautiful_a as_o the_o life_n yet_o you_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v he_o and_o the_o limbner_n mean_v well_o i_o will_v here_o enter_v one_o caution_n that_o for_o the_o particular_a passage_n and_o speech_n which_o i_o have_v observe_v to_o pass_v from_o he_o though_o i_o may_v not_o light_v upon_o so_o proper_a phrase_n as_o he_o do_v and_o can_v clothe_v they_o in_o yet_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o as_o a_o draught_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o now_o that_o i_o may_v put_v the_o stone_n of_o this_o pillar_n over_o his_o grave_n into_o some_o form_n and_o order_n i_o will_v observe_v this_o rule_n in_o speak_v to_o four_o particular_n viz._n to_o show_v what_o he_o be_v 1._o in_o his_o natural_a capacity_n as_o a_o man_n 2._o in_o his_o spiritual_a capacity_n as_o a_o christian_a 3._o in_o his_o civil_a capacity_n as_o a_o statesman_n 4._o in_o his_o private_a capacity_n as_o ruler_n of_o his_o family_n first_o for_o his_o natural_a capacity_n as_o a_o man_n i_o need_v say_v nothing_o to_o his_o stirpe_fw-la and_o extraction_n though_o very_o ancient_a &_o honourable_a for_o that_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o province_n of_o another_o faculty_n of_o heraldry_n which_o attend_v this_o service_n in_o the_o professor_n of_o it_o neither_o need_v i_o say_v much_o to_o nature_n workmanship_n in_o he_o you_o all_o know_v &_o will_v long_o remember_v that_o his_o person_n be_v lovely_a his_o body_n be_v a_o goodly_a mansion_n for_o a_o gallant_a soul_n &_o he_o always_o keep_v it_o as_o become_v a_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o for_o his_o intellectual_n they_o be_v above_o the_o ordinary_a size_n of_o man_n his_o apprehension_n quick_a and_o his_o judgement_n fix_v it_o be_v the_o defect_n of_o many_o a_o great_a wit_n to_o have_v a_o better_a appetite_n than_o concoction_n but_o he_o be_v able_a with_o a_o sure_a judgement_n to_o digest_v all_o he_o take_v in_o he_o give_v very_o great_a testimony_n of_o his_o ability_n this_o way_n both_o at_o home_n and_o abroad_o and_o they_o that_o know_v he_o best_o will_v say_v that_o he_o have_v a_o able_a and_o a_o nimble_a soul_n be_v by_o his_o solid_a wisdom_n the_o constant_a master_n of_o a_o clear_a and_o smooth_a fancy_n as_o to_o his_o conversation_n among_o man_n as_o a_o man_n it_o be_v on_o every_o side_n and_o among_o all_o man_n desirable_a and_o delightful_a it_o be_v say_v of_o titus_n the_o roman_a that_o for_o his_o excellency_n this_o way_n he_o be_v style_v deliciae_fw-la humani_fw-la

that_o know_v he_o his_o carriage_n be_v so_o just_o contemper_v betwixt_o a_o kind_n of_o severe_a bravery_n and_o a_o humble_a courtesy_n that_o he_o be_v contentful_a to_o all_o grievous_a to_o none_o in_o his_o very_a countenance_n and_o presence_n be_v both_o a_o check_n to_o the_o presumptuous_a and_o a_o encouragement_n to_o the_o mean_a of_o wisdom_n child_n to_o draw_v near_o thus_o i_o have_v say_v a_o little_a to_o his_o natural_a capacity_n as_o a_o man_n and_o i_o be_o confident_a take_v he_o but_o thus_o far_o have_v he_o be_v a_o roman_a and_o live_v in_o those_o day_n when_o they_o know_v how_o to_o value_v gallantry_n to_o its_o worth_n they_o will_v have_v count_v he_o worth_a his_o weight_n in_o gold_n but_o we_o will_v pass_v unto_o his_o better_a part_n this_o be_v but_o chalk_v and_o charcoal_n to_o the_o lively_a colour_n his_o christianity_n lay_v upon_o this_o ground_n we_o come_v therefore_o second_o to_o his_o spiritual_a capacity_n as_o a_o christian_a and_o as_o a_o fair_a foundation_n for_o a_o notable_a structure_n in_o this_o kind_n he_o have_v a_o father_n eminent_o virtuous_a and_o religious_a as_o they_o that_o know_v he_o very_o

to_o accomplish_v this_o end_n and_o the_o son_n quick_o give_v fair_a proof_n that_o his_o soul_n be_v no_o barren_a ground_n to_o such_o good_a seed_n for_o what_o principle_n his_o parent_n teach_v he_o in_o the_o trade_n of_o his_o youth_n he_o quick_o grow_v master_n of_o and_o set_v up_o for_o himself_o that_o which_o make_v great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n know_v less_o of_o his_o worth_n then_o be_v real_o in_o he_o be_v that_o it_o be_v his_o principle_n rather_o to_o do_v three_o good_a deed_n than_o talk_v of_o one_o he_o be_v like_o a_o piece_n well_o and_o deep_o charge_v you_o
