anon may have your mouths and hearts all full with that of Mary who being asked by the Angels why she wept Joh. 20.13 cries them out this answer They have taken away my Lord. Other families and other persons have their parts in this mourning too and this our meeting makes a Consort of lamentation such an one as may seem to emulate that memorable mourning of Haddadrimmon in the valley of Megiddo Zech. 12.11 And now that we had a Jeremy for this place Jeremy in the possession of his wish his head waters and his eyes a fountain of tears For he could broach the eyes and pierce the hearts of after-generations and by the power of his pen make impressions upon pious posterity All the singing men and singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day and made them an ordinance in Israel and behold they are written in the Lamentations 2 Chro. 35.25 Oh for a David one that had power to his passion who did not only himself bewail the anointed Saul and honorable Jonathan but for their sakes commanded the children of Judah to be taught the use of the Bow not to shoot in as it is ordinarily and easily mistaken but to sigh in the lamenting song called the Bow behold it is written in the book of Jasher 2 Sam. 1.18 But why do I call in mourners we want none We need not hire any Roman Praefica's a custom observed also among the Jews Jer. 9.17 Call for the mourning women that they may come and send for cunning women that they may come s●●h as let out their eyes for hire and set their tears to sale having both a trade and a trick of mourning We have true tears in showers and have more cause to suspect a flood then a drought and the fear is lest so many rivolets met in one confluence like Jordan in harvest should overflow all banks and bounds But to keep us within compass it was expresly provided by the deceased Lord whose honorable remains now lie before us according to the constant tenor of his admirable humility desirous always rather laudabilem esse than laudari to be than to be accounted good That he might be buried with all Christian warrantable decencie without pomp or costly vanity quietly and peaceably without giving offence to any one person or creature if possible Those are the very words of his last Will and Testament By which as it is said of Abel Heb. 11.4 being dead he yet speaketh speaketh against all immoderation and excess speaketh as our Saviour sometimes did to the lan enting followers of his cross and passion Daughters of Jerusalem Lu. 23.28 weep not for me but weep for your selves and for your children There 's a black bill of Jerusalem's sins gone up to heaven and given in against her and there 's a black cloud of miseries hangs over Jerusalem's head ready to fall upon her You have sins and are like to have sufferings will set your tears on work and therefore lavish not away such precious eye-water be so thrifty in what you spend upon compassion that you be sure to keep for contrition Thus weep or weep not at all for me but weep all for your selves and for your children But if moderation be intended then what means this great and unusual appearance this sad and solemn Procession these multiplied Blacks that stately Herse those Armorial Ensigns and tricks of Honor those Atrati the Mourners walking about the streets Et non plebeios luctus testata Cupressus Such a question was once put by the Disciples and that with indignation too when they saw the Alabaster-box of very precious ointment poured on the head of Jesus Mat. 26.7 8. To what purpose is this waste S. John seems to take it off in some measure at least from the other Disciples and lay it upon Judas making him the greatest if not the onely murmurer He had the filthiest heart and foulest mouth and so fittest to speak that base objection which he hatched in his bag not his conscience Joh. 12.5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor It is not unlike there may be some of Judas his brood here this day Great sins seldom die issueless who being of the same mind may murmure after the same manner and therefore the same answer will fit them Joh. 12.8 This is for the day of my burying for the poor you have always with you but me you have not always They whom Christ cannot satisfie deserve no answer nor will I trouble my self further with them then to tell them It is more then suspicious that they who have over-slovenly thoughts of Burial have too slender hopes of the Resurrection He lays his clothes by handsomly doth not throw them away carelesly that intends to put them on again in the morning Indeed were our minds after the Heathen Motto Non est spes ulla sepultis There 's no hopes of them that are once buried any burial were good enough any hole will serve no hopes Let lost forlorne carkasses be kicked into corruption the ditch is fittest for that which will never be better then dirt But a body which hath been Animae domicilium it is Origen's word the dwelling-house of a divine soul and whilst in the state of conjunction Eph. 2.22 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 't is S. Pauls word an habitation of God through the Spirit a Temple of the Holy Ghost one of the dwellings of God and mansions of the most High A body which shall rise in honor 1 Cor. 15.43 put on glory and wear immortality A body which shall be fashioned like unto Christs glorious body Phil. 3.21 let it have some of the fashion of his burial too the honorable attendance the spikenard and spices Mar. 15.43.46 the ointment and fine For questionless had costly linnen solemnities been a sin he who knew no sin would not have made his grave with the rich in his death Isa 53.9 nor should the Sun being under his command have put both himself and the heavens into black Mat. 27.45 to witness their mourning to the world Let them who live and die like beasts be buried like beasts the burial of an ass Jehojakim's curse Jer. 22.15 suits best with them But let not man a good man a good man in honor though he abideth not be thus like the beasts that perish Ps 49.12 Let us give him the honor due unto his name Due indeed For if ever Funerals were called Justa as being a debt to the memory of the deceased these are they in which we do not perform but pay the service of this day Which whilst we are about let me bless you 2 Sam. 2.5 as David did the men of Jabesh-Gilead Blessed be you of the Lord that you have shewed this kindness unto this Lord and are thus come to bury him But before his burial
