[ 1505] Not to repine at the losse of Friends
or Children.
ANytus a young Spark of Athens,* 1.1 came revelling into Alcibiades house;
And as he sate at supper with some strangers, he rose on a sudden and
took away one half of his plate, the guests stormed and took on at it; He bad
them be quiet and told them, that he had dealt kindly with him, since that he had
left the one half, whereas he might have taken the whole: So let no Man repine for
that Friend, that Child which is taken away by death, but be thankfull to
God for those that are left; He that taketh one, might aswell (if he would)
have taken all, All are in his hands, and it is his great Mercy that he hath left
any at all.
