ANa unseasonable discourse, saithb Sirach's Son, is as Music in Mourning. And to some, peradventure, it will seem somewhat unseasonable to entreat of cJoy in times of Grief; in such a time especially, when so much cause of sorrow, that it may well seem a sin not to be in some sort* sick of it. And yet it will ⟨p. 2⟩not (I hope) prove so unseasonable, if all be well weighed, to entreat even in such a time of such Joy, as Gods Spirit here speaketh of. For dwhen is Physic more seasonable than in time of sickness? Or when had Gods Children more need ofe cheering up,7 than when they are pressed down with the heaviest crosses and calamities?8
