moderation_n and_o to_o temper_v our_o grief_n which_o need_v a_o most_o watchful_a care_n to_o govern_v and_o allay_v it_o upon_o these_o occasion_n among_o those_o many_o thing_n that_o may_v be_v suggest_v i_o shall_v only_o observe_v these_o two_o viz._n that_o when_o our_o friend_n be_v true_o religious_a 1._o we_o have_v not_o the_o least_o pretence_n to_o be_v immoderate_a out_o of_o our_o love_n to_o they_o because_o it_o be_v incomparable_o their_o gain_n they_o be_v translate_v to_o a_o place_n of_o bliss_n where_o they_o be_v infinite_o joyful_a in_o their_o own_o mind_n and_o from_o whence_o they_o will_v not_o be_v remove_v by_o any_o offer_n so_o that_o we_o have_v no_o colour_n of_o reason_n to_o be_v sad_a but_o the_o high_a cause_n to_o congratulate_v upon_o their_o account_n as_o the_o primitive_a christian_n of_o old_a and_o we_o still_o do_v for_o the_o death_n of_o saint_n and_o martyr_n the_o memorial_n of_o who_o death_n we_o celebrate_v with_o festival_n as_o the_o day_n of_o their_o birth_n to_o a_o immortal_a life_n if_o we_o have_v a_o true_a and_o wise_a love_n for_o our_o friend_n we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v willing_a but_o glad_a above_o all_o that_o god_n shall_v love_v they_o too_o and_o then_o we_o must_v needs_o be_v thankful_a when_o he_o show_v his_o love_n and_o take_v they_o to_o those_o joy_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o their_o hope_n and_o beyond_o which_o they_o can_v never_o wish_v for_o any_o more_o 2._o nor_o have_v we_o any_o reason_n to_o be_v immoderate_a in_o bemoan_v our_o own_o loss_n because_o we_o shall_v go_v to_o the_o same_o place_n and_o meet_v again_o in_o time_n our_o own_o loss_n indeed_o be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o can_v trouble_v we_o and_o when_o we_o do_v grieve_n and_o mourn_v it_o be_v only_o in_o love_n to_o ourselves_o but_o this_o be_v no_o cause_n at_o all_o to_o be_v intemperate_a or_o obstinate_a in_o grief_n for_o it_o will_v all_o be_v make_v up_o again_o if_o we_o will_v have_v a_o little_a patience_n they_o be_v go_v to_o that_o place_n whither_o we_o all_o hope_n to_o come_v so_o that_o if_o we_o can_v stay_v a_o while_n we_o shall_v enjoy_v our_o friend_n again_o their_o departure_n from_o the_o world_n be_v but_o like_a man_n take_v of_o a_o journey_n not_o a_o utter_a loss_n of_o friend_n but_o only_o a_o absence_n from_o they_o for_o a_o small_a space_n and_o when_o once_o that_o be_v past_a the_o next_o meeting_n shall_v be_v in_o so_o great_a and_o last_a joy_n as_o shall_v infinite_o make_v amends_o for_o it_o for_o than_o our_o friend_n shall_v be_v strip_v of_o all_o humane_a frailty_n and_o make_v absolute_a in_o all_o desirable_a perfection_n which_o will_v make_v they_o more_o deserve_v of_o our_o love_n and_o dear_a to_o we_o and_o that_o love_n shall_v never_o cause_v grief_n and_o torment_n as_o it_o do_v now_o by_o a_o second_o absence_n as_o we_o shall_v be_v most_o happy_a in_o they_o so_o shall_v we_o ever_o be_v secure_a of_o they_o for_o then_o there_o will_v not_o be_v the_o least_o fear_n because_o not_o the_o least_o danger_n or_o possibility_n of_o part_v any_o more_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v do_v with_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o text_n and_o show_v both_o who_o the_o righteous_a be_v and_o what_o great_a and_o comfortable_a thing_n when_o death_n come_v they_o have_v to_o hope_v for_o but_o hitherto_o i_o have_v only_o lay_v down_o the_o rule_n and_o i_o have_v still_o another_o work_n to_o do_v which_o be_v to_o set_v it_o off_o yet_o further_o in_o a_o fair_a pattern_n and_o example_n of_o it_o i_o mean_v the_o excellent_a noble_a person_n now_o decease_a the_o character_n of_o who_o virtue_n will_v give_v life_n to_o all_o that_o i_o have_v say_v and_o be_v the_o best_a and_o
