God forbid, that when my heart doth any thing press and unquiet me, she should not comfort me her son, whom she yet so entirely loved, that she could never suffer or see me heavy. Undoubtedly it must needs be true that the holy Psalmist saith: ⟨p. 227⟩my father and my mother have forsaken me,1 but the Lord hath taken the cure to keep me. If our fathers now and mothers have forsaken us, how can they be then in our cares and doings? And if father and mother do nothing at all in our business, how can we then think, that the other dead meddle ought with us,2 or know what we do or suffer. The Prophet Isaiah saith: thou O God, art our father: for Abraham wotteth not of us, and Israel knoweth us not.
