So Abraham's virtues to God are faith, fear, obedience, waiting or hope and devotion. And to Sarah I should have named another. He mourned moderately for her and buried her honourably,1 for he bought a burying place of the children of Heth, that he might inter her with all due respect. So should an husband moderate his affection with discretion, and join discretion with his affection, that he may both show some convenient measure of sorrow for his wives decease, and also power to keep sorrow within compass both for degree and continuance, and so should wives stand affected to husbands, and all friends each to other, and a decent funeral according to each mans place must be afforded, to testify their good will to the whole person when it lived, by due carriage to that earthy part of it which is left behind. Those yoke-fellows therefore that are glad or would be glad of each others decease, and care not what becomes of the body of each other, they must be blamed as naughty and unloving husbands, and those that make no end nor keep no measure in mourning must be blamed as over-loving and carnally loving. Let us so mourn as to show the thing was dear we parted with, and withal, that we know we have better things remaining with us then an earthly friend.
