First of the two former, to admonish old men, and such more specially as through the goodness of 1God enjoy a commodious and comfortable time of it, free from many such griefs as they hear others of their years oft complain of, to acknowledge Gods great mercy and goodness to them therein; as fin lengthening out their life, and satisfying them with a greater number of days then others ordinarily attain unto, by means whereof they may live to see those brought up under them, and bestowed by them, that are of their charge, and whom God hath here blessed them with: so gin freeing of them from such annoyances, as are usually attendants of that age, and which might make their continuance here the more tedious and uncomfortable to them: And hto apply themselves therefore to such holy and religious Employments, so far forth as their present estate and condition shall permit, whereby they may bring glory to God, and do some service to him, who is so good and gracious to them above ⟨image 33⟩many others in that kind: Remembering withal, that howsoever iold age of it self be an honour; yet it is nothing less, if it be not kfound in the way of righteousness, as the wise man speaketh, if it be not religiously employed: And that, howsoever to the godly long life may be a blessing, yet lthe wicked man, (saith the Prophet) though he live an hundred years, shall be but an accursed wretch.

Secondly, the use of the last of these points may be to show a difference between godly and worldly men. The godly have oft even a satiety of life: mAs willing they are to leave the world, as men are wont to be to rise from the board, when they have eaten their fill, or so much as they desire. But with worldly men for the most part it is far otherwise: they have never enough, as of nthe wealth of this world, so of othis present life: by their good will they would never die. It is true indeed, that sometime, either crosses and calamities, extraordinary disasters, or sore torturing pains and long lingering diseases, out of a kind of impatience, may make them pweary of their lives and qdesirous of ⟨image 34⟩death, which but for those grievances and a••oia•ces they would else be far from: Whereas the godly, with Abraham & David, even then also, rwhen they have a good and a comfortable continuance of life, accompanied and attended as well with health of body, as with shonour and wealth, yet have their fill of it, and are as well willing to leave it, as the other are some dish of meat that they have eaten their fill of. Yea tso fondly are worldly men herein oft affected, and their hearts so possessed with the love of this life, that though they know not how to live, yet they are not willing to die; though their life be so irksome and painful unto them, that they seem to be ulong a dying rather than to live long, and xthe delay of death far worse with them, than death it self could be to them, yet they desire yto endure rather any extremity of grief and torture with life, than to have an end put to their pains and torments by death.

First in regard of the body: because git returneth to the earth, the common hreceptacle of all. As 3it is said of David, that ihe was laid unto, or laid up, with his Fathers. For howsoever of Abraham it kseem to some, that it cannot be so meant, because lhis corps was entered in the Land of Canaan, (m so generally termed) in a strange country, where his country-men in likelihood none of them lay: yet it followeth not thence, that it may not even in that sense also be said of him too: since that the grave in general, nnot the artificial one, but the onatural, (which pthe Hebrews also well distinguish) is (as Job fitly termeth it) qthe Congregation house of all living, that is, the place wherein they all meet together after decease, be the places of their sepulture never so far asunder; yea whether they have any sepulture or no, as Jacob supposed that Joseph had not, whom he yet saith, he would die, and rgo down to, to the grave. And ⟨p. 59⟩as well might Abraham, for his body also, be said, to be gathered to his people, though he were buried in some other place then the most of them were, as Jacob might be said to go to Joseph, because she was to be laid in the ground when he died, Joseph being, as he supposed, tburied in the bowels of some beast: since that, as Solomon saith, uall go to one common place; all return again to their dust.

Secondly, more specially; the Souls of Gods Saints and servants may well be said to go to their people ⟨p. 60⟩1and their Fathers, when they die; hbecause they go to that peculiar place, where all their godly Country-men and Ancestors are; to the iCongregation house (as the Apostle terms it) of the First-borne, and of the Spirits of the Just. Nor doth it hinder, but that of Abraham it may so also be understood, albeit that both his Country-men, the most, it may be of them, and his Ancestors also, many of them, might be idolaters, as khimself also at first was; since that many yet no doubt of both those ranks, both were pious, while they lived, and went to God, when they died: Besides that, well also may they all be termed and styled lhis people, or country-men, though little of kin to him otherwise, that were the people, while they lived, of the same God that he served: Yea as well might mall the faithful that went before him, be termed his Fathers, whether he were lineally and carnally descended of them or no, as nall the faithful that came after him, are termed his sons.

First, this may serve to strengthen us against the fear of death, or of what shall become of us when we are dead: Since that, as awe go not any strange way when we die, such as none have gone before us, but a beaten path, that ball, even good, have gone; so we go not to any strange place, where either none are already, or none that we have any acquaintance withal; but we go to our Christian friends, to our religious Fore-fathers, cto a place, where we shall ⟨p. 61⟩meet again with all those, that we dsent from hence before us, having deceased in the faith. It is that indeed that much troubleth men and women many times, when they are enforced to travel into strange countries, and to change the places of their wonted and ancient abode; to fore-think, what an uncouth thing it will be, to come among a strange people, where they know none, and none know them. It would have troubled Jacob not a little to have removed into Egypt, had he not been *sure to find Joseph there. But the godly need not be troubled with any such thoughts, when they are to remove hence: For they shall go to their own people, their Friends, their Fathers: they shall be sure to efind country-men, kindred, acquaintance enough in heaven, that will be fready to receive them, to welcome them thither, to give them the best entertainment that can be there. Yea this should make us the rather desirous to die and to go hence, gthat we may go to, and be with those worthies, whom either having known here our selves, or having read of, or heard report of from others, we have admired, and desired either to see, or to live with, while they lived here.
