yea_o to_o lament_v this_o forlorn_a earth_n which_o have_v lose_v so_o excellent_a a_o inhabitant_n and_o rare_a example_n of_o christian_a piety_n we_o may_v just_o suspect_v that_o because_o she_o be_v so_o little_o imitate_v while_o she_o live_v therefore_o god_n have_v remove_v she_o from_o this_o world_n in_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v the_o darkness_n will_v now_o increase_v when_o so_o great_a a_o luminary_n be_v eclipse_v and_o the_o darkness_n of_o impiety_n and_o profaneness_n will_v draw_v after_o it_o a_o black_a tempest_n of_o calamity_n and_o desolation_n the_o untimely_a death_n of_o a_o religious_a ruler_n have_v often_o be_v a_o presage_v and_o forerunner_n of_o national_a judgement_n thus_o it_o fall_v out_o to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o judah_n after_o the_o death_n of_o josiah_n 2_o chron._n last_o chap._n compare_v with_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o precede_a and_o our_o nation_n have_v the_o same_o sad_a experience_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o pious_a young_a king_n edward_n the_o vi_o on_o which_o immediate_o follow_v the_o bloody_a and_o dismal_a day_n of_o q._n mary_n to_o prevent_v such_o calamity_n no_o better_a direction_n can_v be_v give_v than_o that_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o text_n viz._n to_o follow_v the_o faith_n and_o imitate_v the_o holiness_n of_o the_o decease_a queen_n can_v we_o and_o those_o who_o be_v relate_v to_o she_o be_v persuade_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o her_o faith_n and_o piety_n we_o shall_v reap_v more_o advantage_n after_o her_o death_n than_o we_o do_v in_o her_o life_n it_o be_v a_o memorable_a wonder_n that_o be_v relate_v 2_o king_n 12.21_o how_o when_o a_o dead_a man_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o sepulchre_n of_o elisha_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o touch_v the_o bone_n of_o elisha_n he_o revive_v and_o stand_v up_o on_o his_o foot_n we_o may_v hope_v that_o if_o the_o holy_a example_n of_o the_o decease_a queen_n may_v touch_v our_o dead_a soul_n they_o will_v be_v revive_v and_o gain_v spiritual_a life_n yea_o our_o nation_n will_v live_v and_o be_v make_v a_o praise_n in_o the_o earth_n we_o be_v willing_a to_o express_v our_o esteem_n and_o respect_n to_o she_o many_o have_v be_v at_o some_o expense_n to_o wear_v the_o token_n of_o sorrow_n which_o can_v bring_v no_o real_a advantage_n either_o to_o she_o or_o our_o own_o soul_n why_o shall_v we_o refuse_v to_o imitate_v her_o good_a example_n which_o will_v bring_v the_o great_a and_o most_o last_a benefit_n i_o question_v not_o but_o many_o will_v endeavour_v to_o procure_v and_o keep_v some_o memorial_n or_o relic_n of_o the_o decease_a queen_n a_o jewel_n or_o picture_n or_o garment_n or_o perhaps_o some_o of_o her_o hair_n which_o be_v all_o useless_a and_o insignificant_a thing_n whereas_o will_v we_o be_v at_o the_o pain_n to_o get_v and_o preserve_v the_o likeness_n of_o her_o piety_n this_o will_v make_v we_o happy_a indeed_o for_o this_o end_n i_o shall_v add_v some_o argument_n and_o motive_n which_o may_v persuade_v we_o unto_o this_o imitation_n and_o 1._o first_o none_o can_v with_o any_o reason_n judge_v this_o imitation_n to_o be_v a_o disparagement_n to_o they_o what_o shall_v any_o count_v it_o below_o they_o to_o study_v the_o scripture_n to_o sanctify_v the_o day_n of_o god_n to_o serve_v god_n in_o secret_a to_o love_v all_o good_a man_n to_o relieve_v the_o distress_a when_o they_o see_v how_o this_o glorious_a queen_n do_v place_v her_o high_a honour_n in_o such_o a_o practice_n can_v any_o disdain_n to_o bear_v the_o yoke_n of_o christ_n which_o she_o do_v so_o cheerful_o submit_v to_o be_v there_o any_o colour_n or_o pretence_n to_o object_n that_o strict_a religion_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o the_o character_n of_o the_o great_a and_o honourable_a when_o she_o do_v esteem_v it_o her_o principal_a ornament_n and_o excellence_n oh_o amaze_a folly_n that_o the_o vice_n of_o ruler_n shall_v soon_o grow_v into_o fashion_n but_o their_o virtue_n shall_v be_v slight_v and_o undervalue_v 2._o second_o the_o low_a and_o mean_a be_v capable_a of_o imitate_v her_o christian_a piety_n as_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o a_o resemble_v of_o her_o power_n and_o regal_a dignity_n be_v impossible_a her_o stature_n beauty_n and_o faculty_n of_o mind_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o our_o imitation_n but_o sure_o the_o poor_a and_o most_o despicable_a may_v walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o her_o faith_n and_o holiness_n there_o be_v but_o one_o common_a path_n to_o heaven_n both_o for_o prince_n and_o peasant_n 3._o three_o we_o shall_v be_v self-condemned_a if_o we_o refuse_v to_o imitate_v one_o who_o we_o ourselves_o praise_n and_o commend_v a_o life_n that_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v imitate_v can_v deserve_v commendation_n what_o shall_v we_o answer_v to_o our_o judge_n when_o this_o perplex_v question_n be_v put_v to_o we_o if_o you_o do_v commend_v why_o do_v you_o not_o imitate_v she_o and_o if_o you_o will_v not_o imitate_v why_o do_v you_o commend_v she_o i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o few_o prince_n have_v find_v more_o to_o commend_v they_o than_o the_o lament_a queen_n both_o in_o her_o life_n and_o after_o her_o death_n and_o yet_o i_o fear_v few_o will_v hearty_o endeavour_v to_o follow_v her_o example_n but_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o to_o be_v condemn_v out_o of_o our_o own_o mouth_n be_v the_o sad_a case_n in_o the_o world_n luk._n 19.22_o how_o can_v we_o escape_v when_o we_o be_v condemn_v by_o ourselves_o 4._o four_o we_o all_o have_v the_o same_o essential_a help_n and_o assistance_n which_o the_o decease_a queen_n have_v indeed_o her_o high_a station_n give_v her_o some_o accidental_a advantage_n but_o we_o have_v the_o same_o bible_n the_o same_o sabbath_n the_o same_o ordinance_n the_o same_o spirit_n to_o assist_v we_o which_o she_o enjoy_v christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n shine_v alike_o to_o the_o low_a shrub_n and_o the_o tall_a cedar_n nay_o 5._o five_o we_o have_v much_o few_o hindrance_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o religion_n the_o snare_n and_o temptation_n of_o a_o crown_n and_o a_o court_n be_v most_o dangerous_a obstacle_n in_o the_o way_n to_o happiness_n the_o passage_n to_o heaven_n be_v much_o easy_a from_o a_o cottage_n than_o from_o a_o palace_n 6._o in_o the_o last_o place_n we_o shall_v all_o desire_v to_o have_v the_o happy_a end_n that_o she_o have_v have_v to_o die_v with_o such_o hope_n and_o joy_n as_o she_o find_v when_o she_o be_v leave_v this_o world_n balaam_n wish_n that_o he_o may_v 23.10_o numb_a 23.10_o die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o righteous_a be_v as_o vain_a as_o it_o be_v common_a to_o those_o who_o will_v not_o work_v righteousness_n the_o end_n of_o a_o journey_n must_v have_v some_o resemblance_n unto_o the_o quality_n of_o it_o we_o must_v never_o expect_v to_o have_v the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o religious_a and_o to_o overcome_v the_o last_o enemy_n if_o we_o refuse_v to_o imitate_v they_o who_o have_v fight_v the_o good_a sight_n of_o faith_n and_o have_v flnish_v their_o course_n with_o joy_n as_o this_o pious_a queen_n do_v who_o her_o imitator_n shall_v see_v shine_v with_o a_o far_o bright_a glory_n than_o any_o throne_n can_v bestow_v till_o then_o farewell_o great_a and_o excellent_a qveen_n farewell_o happy_a and_o glorious_a saint_n may_v thy_o
