The son of Solomon was but a silly weak man; and the son of H••zekiah was wicked: and all the fools and barbarous people, all the thieves and pirates, all the slaves and miserable men and women of the world are the sons and daughters of Noah; and we must not look to be exempted from that portion of sorrow which God gave to Noah, and Adam, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob: I pray God send us into the lot of Abraham. But if any thing happens worse to us, it is e∣nough for us that we bear it evenly.
