Metaphor in Context
Wherefore lift up the Hands that hang down, and the feeble Knees! Think not so much and so long on the incomparable Character of the Deceas'd, as to forget the true Use You are to make of this afflicting Accident; and to neglect those good Improvements under it, which the Wise and Kind Inflicter expects at Your Hands. You have paid Your sad Respects to Her; be not now wanting to Your selves: but Gird up the Loins of Your Mind, and be Ye comforted!
