1Lastly Isaac shows his due respect unto his Father, by joining with Ishmael his brother in burying his Father. for so it is said, his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machphelah. This is the last ⟨p. 253⟩office that children can perform, and they must show their love and duty to them in the honourable performance of this last act, as to testify their love to their Parents, so to declare their faithful hope of the resurrection from the dead. For therefore are men with due solemnities committed to the bosom of the earth, because they expect their glorious rising again, and they shall not utterly perish and fall as do the brute and unreasonable creatures.
