3. 1And lastly, for Comfort in case of the Saints separation one from another, whether by the unrighteous hand of Violence, or the righteous hand of Providence: Now; by means of Dispersions, Imprisonments, Exile, &c. the people of God are like Arms and Legs torn out of the body, and lye bleeding in their separations. Yea, God Himself is pleased to make sad breaches between them, and their sweetest Relations, by Death; Under which they are many times like Rachel (not without sin) weeping for her Children, and refuse to be Comforted, because they are not; lifting up their voices and crying; Oh! my Father Abraham, and Oh! my Son Isaac. ⟨p. 119⟩O Absalom my Son, my Son Absalom, would God I had dyed for thee. I will go down to the Grave to my Son, mourning, &c.
