A token for mourners, or, The advice of Christ to a distressed mother bewailing…

It was all without any exception thou then resignedst to him, and now wilt thou go back from thy word, as one that had out promised himself, and repents the bargain? Or at least as one that hath forgotten these solemn transactions in the days of thy distress. Wherein hath Christ failed in one tittle that he promised thee? Charge him if thou canst with the least unfaithfulness: He hath been faithful to a tittle on his part, O be thou so upon thine; this day its put to the proof, remember what thou hast promised him.

8. Consid. But if thy Covenant with God will not quiet thee; yet methinks Gods Covenant with thee might be presumed to do it.

Is thy family which was lately hopeful and flourishing, a peaceful Tabernacle, now broken up and scattered? Thy posterity from which thou raisedst up to thy self great expectations of comfort in old age cut off? So that thou art now, like, neither to have a name or memorial left thee in the earth.
