The
folly
of
men
rebuked
who
are
all
for mirth.,
would
fake
delight
in
the
aboundance
of the creature, compa-
ny,
and
the
like,
whether
you would take content
in
that or
in
the
houfe
of
mourning
?
now
the
holy
Ghofl
he
defiles
the
cafe, he
faith, the
houfe
of
mourning is better
then the
heu(e,
of
laughter,
for
the heart
is
made
better
by
fadnef e;
there
is
much good
comes
unto the
ioule
out of the
houfe
of
mourning
which
doh
not
come
f.
om
the
houfe
of
laughter
:
the heart
for
the moil part
is
made worfe
by
laughter,
but
often
better
by forrow
:

What
if
this
dread
full
Woe
fhould prove
to
be
thy portion
pronounced
by
