To the Honourable Col. Isaac Winslow, And his Religious CONSORT.
My Honoured Friends,
WHEN the Offspring of Ephraim, felt the stroke of Death from the Men of Gath, in an Unseasonable and Unsuccessful Sally upon the Canaanites we read; 1 Chron VII 21. The Father Mourned many days, and his Brethren came to Comfort him. What has befallen You in the Death of a Beloved SON, slain by the Men, whom a Righteous GOD has Employed in the Dispensations of His Wine-Press, threatens to leave You Mourning many Days. Yea, you seem disposed, not altogether unlike the Patriarch [the Father of Ephraim] who, upon the Apprehension of an Evil Beast having Devoured his Beloved Son, refused ⟨image ?⟩to be Comforted, and said, I will go down into the Grave unto my Son, Mourning: And you Apprehend nothing, but having Your Grey-hairs brought down with Sorrow to the Grave.
