IBL "It is good for me that I have been afflicted THY Statutes."-Pfalm cxix. 71, might LONDON: JOSEPH MASTERS, ALDERSGATE STREET, AND NEW BOND STREET. M DCCC LIII. 138. d. 333. "ISIDORE of Pelufium thinks that our SAVIOUR did not mourn for His friend Lazarus, because he was dead (for He knew that He was going to raise him from the dead); but because he was to live again; and to come from the haven where he had arrived, back again into the waves and ftorms from a crown which he enjoyed, to a new encounter with his enemies. "If thou doft not believe this interpretation, yet doft thou believe the thing? Doft thou seriously confider, that the misery of this world is fo great, that we should rather weep that we are in it, than that others are gone out of it ?"-Bp. Patrick. |
