'TIS to be now Hoped, That all who are Sitting by any bitter Waters, and as it were hanging their Harps on the Willows there, will now consider every Bitterness as having in it, a Call unto them to come unto thy SAVIOUR.
O Heart knowing thy own Bitterness; There is that Call in it, Come to thy SAVIOUR, and Acquaint thyself more with Him, that Good may come unto thee. The Bitter Waters make the loud Call of David's Water-Spouts. Oh! Do like the Gracious Woman, when she Heard it said, The Master Calleth thee.
THESE Admonitions and Consolations, are in a very Particular manner to be Addressed unto the Sorrowful Parents of Captain JOSIAH WINSLOW: With whom a Voice is Heard in Marshfield; A Lamentation, and Bitter Weeping, I hope, not a Refusal to be Comforted.
THESE Admonitions and Consolations, are in a very Particular manner to be Address'd unto the Sorrowful Parents of Captain JOSIAH WINSLOW: With whom a Voice is Heard in Marshfield; A Lamentation, and Bitter Weeping, I hope, not a Refusal to be Comforted.
IT must be Confessed, That in the Loss of such a Dear Son, and such a Pleasant Child, They have Lost what nothing but a Glorious CHRIST can be a Compensation for. And in the Grief which the Death of such a Promising Youth must give unto them, there is what nothing but a Glorious CHRIST can Extinguish o Alleviate.
