their_o complaint_n and_o sorrow_n and_o indulge_v the_o sad_a remembrance_n of_o their_o loss_n as_o a_o kind_n of_o reparation_n and_o remedy_n while_o they_o recover_v they_o at_o least_o in_o

david_n not_o from_o the_o funeral_n preacher_n how_o we_o be_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o what_o we_o be_v to_o do_v in_o the_o sickness_n and_o death_n of_o friend_n whether_o child_n or_o other_o near_a relation_n this_o one_o example_n lead_v we_o through_o all_o the_o duty_n we_o owe_v to_o other_o in_o the_o sad_a case_n this_o direct_v we_o 1._o how_o to_o behave_v ourselves_o amid_o the_o confusion_n of_o fear_n and_o hope_n in_o the_o sickness_n of_o our_o friend_n one_a to_o seek_v to_o god_n before_o the_o physician_n to_o distil_v our_o tear_n for_o balm_n and_o apply_v our_o prayer_n for_o their_o first_o cure_n to_o lend_v they_o breath_n from_o our_o petition_n from_o our_o sob_n and_o cry_n before_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n be_v pass_v who_o can_v tell_v whether_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o we_o and_o not_o bereave_v we_o of_o so_o great_a content_n 2_o how_o to_o appease_v and_o moderate_v our_o grief_n after_o the_o death_n of_o other_o which_o we_o can_v not_o by_o our_o tear_n or_o prayer_n prevent_v but_o now_o he_o be_v dead_a wherefore_o shall_v i_o fast_v shall_v i_o mourn_v or_o afflict_v myself_o can_n i_o bring_v he_o back_o again_o 3_o how_o to_o return_v to_o ourselves_o have_v lose_v our_o friend_n and_o from_o the_o death_n of_o other_o to_o prepare_v for_o our_o own_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o he_o but_o he_o shall_v not_o return_v to_o i_o these_o 3_o consideration_n will_v best_o represent_v the_o pattern_n in_o the_o most_o lively_a practical_a line_n for_o our_o imitation_n and_o serve_v best_a to_o turn_v this_o story_n into_o a_o useful_a moral_n how_o we_o be_v to_o behave_v ourselves_o in_o the_o sickness_n and_o visitation_n of_o other_o here_o good_a nature_n will_v join_v with_o piety_n to_o enforce_v these_o duty_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o ever_o present_a visitation_n as_o the_o effect_n and_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o they_o who_o be_v visit_v particular_o indeed_o this_o be_v manifest_a in_o this_o case_n of_o david_n where_o the_o child_n be_v true_o conceive_v in_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o father_n and_o bear_v in_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o mother_n in_o adultery_n can_v have_v the_o shame_n and_o stain_v of_o his_o birth_n only_o blot_v out_o by_o death_n and_o cover_v by_o the_o grave_a but_o this_o may_v be_v a_o safe_a useful_a and_o proper_a consideration_n in_o the_o visitation_n of_o any_o friend_n to_o look_v upon_o his_o disease_n as_o breed_v from_o god_n anger_n against_o we_o his_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o well_o as_o from_o his_o own_o
