Mans last journey to his long home a sermon preached at the funerals of the Right Honourable Robert Earl of Warwick, who died in London, May the 30th and was interr'd at Felstead in Essex, June the 9th 1659 / by Nath. Hardy ...
THe Text, a mournfull complaint, in which the severall Clauses, Non tam verba quam suspiria, Sermones quam singultus, seem to be made up, rather of sobs and sighs then words. And no wonder since the matter of the complaint is mortality; a Theame fit to be commented upon with teares, so much the rather, considering whose mortality it is that is here deplored. If you cast your eyes upon the end of the foregoing Verse, you shall find the Antecedent of this Relative, He, to be NONLATINALPHABET the Son of Man, of Adam, and that is every man, all mankind being of his race and posterity,

1. Begin we with Mans egress in those words, His Breath goeth forth. The Hebrew word NONLATINALPHABET being derived from NONLATINALPHABET (as also the Greek NONLATINALPHABET from NONLATINALPHABET and the Latin, spiritus, from spiro, ) most properly signifieth breath.

Indeed it is not true, that when a mans Breath goeth forth, he dyeth.
