The Kings are dead. We read 2. Sam. 19. 1. 2. that, after that great victorie which God gaue unto David against Absolom, the day of tryumph was turned into a day of mourning unto all the people, onely because they heard some whisperings of the Courtiers that the King wept. How much greater cause have wee, Beloved, in the midst of our victories to keepe a day of mourning? The Courtiers not only telling us The Queenes weepe, but withall, The Kings are dead. That is able to melt a stone,
