will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o prosecute_v and_o that_o too_o brief_o viz._n that_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o future_a state_n or_o the_o hope_n of_o a_o joyful_a resurrection_n which_o the_o one_o be_v

carry_v on_o by_o the_o tide_n of_o their_o extravagant_a passion_n so_o billedge_v with_o the_o flood_n of_o tear_n and_o even_o sink_v by_o the_o most_o desperate_a grief_n since_o they_o want_v both_o the_o compass_n of_o god_n word_n to_o steer_v themselves_o by_o and_o the_o advantage_n of_o that_o sure_a anchor_n of_o hope_n with_o both_o which_o we_o christian_n be_v so_o abundant_o furnish_v for_o bare_a natural_a reason_n especial_o while_o it_o be_v so_o clog_v and_o prejudice_v by_o the_o force_n of_o prevail_a custom_n be_v too_o weak_a sufficient_o to_o correct_v the_o extravagancy_n of_o their_o passion_n and_o keep_v they_o within_o their_o due_a bound_n for_o with_o what_o anguish_n and_o extreme_a dispair_n must_v they_o needs_o be_v possess_v it_o while_o they_o behold_v those_o dear_a relation_n snatch_v from_o they_o who_o whilst_o live_v be_v the_o very_a joy_n and_o comfort_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o have_v no_o sufficient_a ground_n to_o hinder_v they_o from_o more_o than_o suspect_v that_o they_o shall_v never_o have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o enjoy_v they_o any_o more_o forever_o but_o that_o they_o be_v lose_v and_o utter_o extinguish_v to_o all_o eternity_n what_o unsupportable_a grief_n must_v needs_o be_v consequent_a under_o the_o disadvantage_n of_o such_o black_a and_o melancholic_a apprehension_n but_o we_o

14._o 32._o we_o be_v natural_o apt_a to_o lament_v the_o death_n of_o the_o best_a man_n most_o but_o now_o to_o prevent_v all_o excess_n in_o this_o case_n especial_o the_o gospel_n have_v furnish_v

happiness_n and_o perfection_n we_o be_v assure_v that_o they_o be_v not_o perish_v but_o only_o go_v before_o that_o their_o spirit_n be_v present_o receive_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n their_o most_o faithful_a creator_n and_o that_o those_o carcase_n also_o which_o we_o now_o see_v lay_v in_o the_o grave_a and_o sow_o in_o corruption_n shall_v in_o due_a time_n be_v raise_v spiritual_a

in_o the_o mean_a time_n therefore_o though_o nature_n and_o decency_n do_v seem_v to_o allow_v some_o moderate_a tear_n upon_o these_o occasion_n yet_o how_o can_v we_o find_v in_o our_o heart_n even_o now_o to_o be_v excessive_a since_o we_o who_o survive_v may_v consider_v that_o after_o a_o few_o more_o day_n dream_v over_o separate_z friends_z shall_v meet_v again_o to_o part_v no_o
