AS Papinius Statius reports of the old Arcadians,* 1.1 That mourning all night for the setting of the Sun, they were comforted notwithstanding at the break of day when they saw him in his sphere again; And as the People enraged at
the death 〈◊〉〈◊〉 ••omulus, were quieted by and by with Proculus his newes, that he saw him in glory riding up to Heaven;* 1.2 So it is that such as are without Hope are extreamly troubled at the death of their intimate Friend and acquaintance, as if he were lost,* 1.3 and they should never see him again; but the good Christian re∣maines full of Hope at the death of any Child of God, well knowing, that Mors janua vitae, he had no way but by this Mortality, to cloath himself with Im∣mortality, and that as he is gone before into glory, they shall both meet in Heaven with comfort.
