Now the Text that I have chosen, is suitable for this occasion; for this Reverend Minister was first a righteous man, he was righteous in an Eva gelical sense, he was one that was justified and sanctified. Secondly, ⟨image 104⟩he was a merciful man both in active and passive sense; he was one that showed mercy to the distressed Members of Jesus Christ, and he was one to whom God showed mercy; this righteous and merciful man is now perished, as to his outward condition, not as to his everlasting condition: but as to his outward bodily condition, he is perished, and he is taken away: the word in the Hebrew is very emphatical; merciful men, Colliguntur, are gathered; it is the same word that is used concerning Josiah 2 Kin. 22.10. Thou shalt be gathered to thy Fathers, and go to thy grave in peace, and shalt not see the evil that I will bring upon this Nation. This godly and righteous man is now gathered, as ripe Corn into the Barn of Heaven; he is taken away from the evil that is to come, from beholding that evil that is to come upon this sinful world, he is taken away in mercy, that he may not be troubled with the troubles that are coming upon many; he is taken away from the evil to come.
