They were both buried in one grave. So the Lord delivered them from the evil to come, for they were pious people; and when he dissolved their earthly tabernacle, he gave them a building of God, a house not made with hands, eter nal in the heavens. 2 Cor. V. 1. And no doubt he heard the prayers which, While liv ing, they had day by day put up for their baby. For the Lord is good to them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. For the Lord will not cast OK for ever: but though he cause grief, yet will he have com passion, according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. - Ye that fear the Lord, h0pe for good, and for everlasting joy and mercy. Look at the generations of old, and see: did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? Or did any abide in his fear.
