That ye sorrow not as other that have no hope. He doth not forbid natural affection. Our parents, and our children are dear unto us. They are our flesh and blood, and the chief and principal parts of our body. Any part of our body can not be cut off, but we shall feel it. The father if he feel not the death of his son: or, the son if he feel not the death of his Father, and have not a deep feeling of it, he is unnatural. David mourned for Jonathan. The whole land mourned for Josiah. Paul saith, God have mercy upon Epaphroditus, (he was sick, very near unto death) and not on him only, but on me also, least I should have sorrow upon sorrow. If God had taken Epaphroditus out of life, ⟨p. 161⟩no doubt Paul would have sorrowed. What need more examples? Christ mourned for Lazarus, and shed tears for him. Then said the 1Jews, behold he loved him.

The whole lande mourned for Iosias. Paul sayth, God haue mercie vppon Epaphroditus, (he was sicke, verie néere vnto death) and not on him onely, but on me also, least I shoulde haue sorrowe vpon sorrowe. If God had taken Epaphroditus out of life, ⟨p. 161⟩no doubt Paul would haue sorrowed. What néede more examples? Christ mourned for Lazarus, and shed teares for him. Then saide the 1Iewes, behold he loued him.
