2. When news came to Anaxagoras of the death of his son, at ⟨p. 176⟩which they thought he would have been much troubled, he said, I begat him mortal. Should not Christians much more quiet themselves at the loss of children, which though they beget mortal, yet not without hope of immortality.

3. A Philosopher walking abroad, found a woman weeping, and asking her the reason, alas said she, I have broken my Pitcher; and walking another day, found another woman weeping, and asking her the reason, she told him, her son was dead. He presently says, did that woman think that an earthen Pitcher would not break? and this woman, that a mortal man would not dye? Should we not expect that changeables will change? That the fashion of this world will pass away? We should so use creature-enjoyments, as if we were taking leave of them. Our moderation of joy and sorrow should be known, because the end of all things is at hand.
