the_o mourning_n of_o one_o place_n or_o people_n that_o i_o now_o invite_v you_o to_o there_o be_v not_o a_o good_a man_n alive_a that_o know_v this_o bishop_n but_o lament_v his_o death_n be_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o loss_n as_o general_o know_v and_o as_o well_o understand_v as_o it_o be_v certain_a and_o sad_a there_o will_v be_v as_o many_o mourner_n for_o this_o death_n as_o there_o be_v christian_n in_o the_o world_n and_o a_o lamentation_n as_o universal_a as_o the_o catholic_n church_n therefore_o when_o we_o discourse_v of_o this_o late_a great_a man_n when_o in_o he_o we_o lament_v our_o loss_n it_o will_v become_v we_o to_o entertain_v resentment_n and_o frame_v expression_n as_o near_o as_o we_o can_v suitable_a to_o his_o worth_n and_o our_o sense_n of_o it_o there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n of_o be_v too_o excessive_a in_o our_o weep_a and_o mourn_v whilst_o our_o grief_n be_v christian_n and_o that_o we_o sorrow_n not_o as_o man_n without_o hope_n nor_o can_v the_o expression_n of_o it_o be_v extravagant_a whilst_o they_o endeavour_v to_o signify_v no_o more_o than_o a_o loss_n as_o great_a as_o can_v well_o happen_v by_o the_o death_n of_o one_o man_n it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o least_o consideration_n that_o we_o can_v have_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v we_o if_o we_o will_v lament_v becoming_o at_o this_o tomb_n our_o cry_n must_v be_v double_a like_o that_o of_o elisha_n in_o my_o text_n it_o must_v mount_v apace_o rise_v still_o high_o and_o express_v more_o and_o more_o abundant_o in_o every_o note_n my_o father_n my_o father_n the_o
