sacred_a word_n will_v you_o render_v yourself_o unfit_a to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o most_o bless_a body_n and_o blood_n if_o not_o then_o mourn_v but_o so_o much_o as_o will_v not_o hinder_v any_o of_o these_o and_o you_o have_v leave_v to_o mourn_v as_o much_o as_o you_o please_v stop_v but_o here_o and_o there_o be_v no_o man_n will_v lay_v any_o restraint_n upon_o you_o but_o then_o 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 bewail_v your_o unkindness_n to_o god_n your_o unthankfulness_n for_o his_o mercy_n and_o unbelief_n of_o his_o gospel_n for_o you_o can_v never_o take_v your_o heart_n in_o a_o better_a time_n than_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 there_o be_v not_o something_o else_o to_o bewail_v that_o be_v more_o considerable_a ask_v thyself_o have_v thou_o not_o deserve_v this_o and_o ten_o time_n more_o will_v thou_o add_v another_o sin_n 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 dear_a 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 command_v the_o corinthian_n to_o comfort_v he_o that_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o a_o great_a sin_n and_o receive_v he_o again_o into_o the_o church_n now_o that_o he_o repent_v leave_v perhaps_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v swallow_v up_o with_o overmuch_a sorrow_n 2_o cor._n 2.7_o i_o wish_v all_o those_o who_o be_v ready_a to_o destroy_v themselves_o with_o grief_n will_v serious_o consider_v this_o that_o we_o may_v not_o over-load_n our_o heart_n with_o grief_n for_o our_o sin_n themselves_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o other_o sorrow_n we_o can_v please_v the_o devil_n better_o than_o by_o discontent_n he_o will_v fain_o oppress_v every_o good_a man_n with_o some_o passion_n or_o other_o let_v we_o take_v heed_n how_o we_o join_v with_o he_o against_o ourselves_o if_o we_o have_v leave_v his_o service_n that_o be_v enough_o to_o provoke_v he_o if_o we_o have_v bid_v defiance_n to_o his_o pleasure_n this_o do_v incense_v he_o and_o we_o must_v expect_v that_o he_o will_v endeavour_v to_o overcome_v we_o with_o grief_n the_o devil_n be_v mad_a against_o all_o good_a man_n and_o therefore_o let_v all_o those_o who_o have_v irritate_v he_o against_o they_o beware_v how_o they_o now_o prove_v coward_n and_o execute_v his_o vengeance_n for_o he_o with_o their_o own_o hand_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n as_o photius_n excellent_o express_v it_o lest_o we_o be_v good_a at_o stir_v up_o and_o provoke_v the_o envy_n and_o rage_n of_o our_o adversary_n but_o naught_o at_o resist_v and_o overcome_v he_o by_o patience_n and_o perseverance_n to_o the_o end_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o if_o we_o must_v needs_o weep_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o something_o here_o let_v it_o be_v for_o the_o affliction_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n let_v we_o mourn_v to_o see_v the_o church_n sit_v like_o a_o widow_n in_o her_o black_a garment_n let_v it_o pity_v we_o to_o see_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n servant_n shed_v like_o water_n upon_o

that_o man_n do_v not_o keep_v god_n law_n some_o such_o channel_n we_o shall_v cut_v for_o our_o tear_n and_o not_o let_v they_o spend_v themselves_o on_o this_o fashion_n about_o our_o own_o

why_o do_v we_o not_o solace_v ourselves_o in_o the_o great_a compassion_n of_o our_o high_a priest_n who_o have_v a_o feel_n of_o all_o our_o misery_n which_o we_o endure_v can_v we_o expect_v that_o

the_o death_n of_o one_o of_o our_o friend_n to_o the_o departure_n of_o the_o best_a friend_n to_o the_o world_n that_o ever_o be_v from_o his_o little_a flock_n of_o friend_n do_v not_o christ_n

be_v not_o to_o be_v trouble_v then_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o have_v less_o reason_n to_o be_v trouble_v now_o both_o because_o we_o have_v a_o less_o loss_n to_o bewail_v and_o we_o have_v a_o strong_a
