2. Doct. Our mourning for the dead must be in measure.
Vers. 3. ABraham rose up from the sight of the corps, &c. Lest that he might be overcome of griefe, he removeth the object thereof: which teacheth us that we should keepe a measure in our griefe: not to mourne as the heathen doe, that have no hope of the resurrection: or as those passionate women, which wept for their children and would not bee comforted, Matth. 1.16. It is well observed, that the Egyptians mourned for Iacob seventy dayes, Ioseph but seven dayes, Gen. 50.3.10. to shew a difference betweene the excessive griefe of men that have no hope, and the moderate sorrow of the faithfull.
