OUR Apostles drift in these words is to prefs his Thessalonians to moder ation of sorrow for those of theirs, that were dead in Christ. Grief, (like her sister Passions, being too too apt to passe its bounds, and overflow its chanel) transports the Thessalonians into a great indecency. Whilst they wept as Men, they had almost forgot to act as Christians; The floud of their tears, had as it were drowned the anchor of their hopes. For a stop and Bay to this uncomely, unchristian Deluge, our Apostle here lets down this holy Floud-gate, in the words of the Text: |
