This sad and sorrowfull complaint looks two waies, to the Godly, and to the Wicked; bewailing the misery of the one, and bemoaning the iniquity of the other, that the persons of the godly were destroyed, and the hearts of the wicked hardened. That ariseth from grief, this from grief mixed with anger; both very vehement, as appeareth by the multiplication of several clauses to the same sense. God grant that I in handling, and you in hearing, may have the same holy passions which our Prophet had in uttering this dolefull ditty, The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart, &c. Begin we with the complaint concerning the Godly, which we find to be both amplified and mitigated; Amplified in two Clauses, The righteous perisheth, The mercifull men are taken away: |
