The second thing is Charity, by ⟨p. 175⟩which nature is forced to mourn and sorrow for the departure of our near and dear faithful friend, a sound and good Christian, for the Common-wealth profitable, and to the poor comfortable. This love the Jewe• thought, made Christ weep when Lazarus was dead: Therefore they said, Behold how he loved him. And thus saith S. Augustine. Contristamur ergo nos, &c. We therefore are heavy for our dead, because of necessity we must part from them: but yet with this hope, again for to see them. Inde angimur, hinc consolamur: 1inde infirmitas afficit, hinc fides reficit, inde dolet humana conditio, hinc sanat divina promissio. For that we are grieved, in this we are comforted: for that weakness wears, in this faith revives us: for that, our frail nature mourneth: but in this, Gods promise doth strengthen us. This love and affection, together with faith, is not to be condemned, and it is lawful to mourn with them that mourn. Rom. 12.15.
