Eli when he heard the news of Israels flight, his sons death, it must needs grieve him, but all this while, his heart was composed: But the worst news (as usually it doth) comes last. The Ark of God was taken: Then his heart was amazed, he could no longer subsist, but he falls down backward and breaks his neck. But it may be ye do not hope to attain to the grace of El•; why, look then on his daughter in law, one of the weaker sex; All that ill news moved her not so much. Oh the Ark of God was taken, that was it which she pitched upon, her son that was borne could not allay this grief.
