Hence we are informed, 1that it is a special duty of Christians, to administer words of comfort to their mourning friends, according to their various temptations and trials. It is the very law of those consolations, wherewith the Holy Ghost doth comfort us in our afflictions, that we may be able to comfort them, which are in any trouble, by the ⟨p. 151⟩comfort wherewith we our selves are comforted of God: A lesson (it seemeth) Job's friends had learned, and came to put in practice, when by mutual consent they met together at Job's house, Job 2 11. this was their end, though unhappily they mistook their work, by spicing their cup of consolation with too many bitter ingredients, (whose error may it be our caution.) Thus also we read in the Gospel of many friends, who came to comfort Martha and Mary concerning their brother, supposed to be dead.
