The last cross of Hagars was,1 that she saw her son Ishmael spent with thirst and ready to die, and she was utterly destitute of all means to help him, not being able farther to ease him or her self but by getting out of sight and hearing, and sitting down to weep and mourn. This is a lamentable heart-breaking to a Parent, if they be destitute of things needful for this life, whether by occasion of travel & wandering out of the way, or of penury and necessity at home. How most heavy a heart hath a Father or Mother, if they see their children ready to be famished through hunger, and have no bread to break unto them, or are almost choked through thirst, and have no drink to bestow upon them, neither know what to do for them, but to convey themselves out of sight, and sitting down to empty their griefs in tears. This is a misery that God sent upon the Parents of Jerusalem, by reason of famine and scarcity their children swooned in the streets, and no man could supply them with bread. Lament. 4.4.

This is a misery that God sent upon the Parents of Ierusalem, by reason of famine and scarcity their children sowned in the streetes, and no man could supply them with bread. Lament. 4.4.
