Preached at the funeral of Mary Powel. This funeral sermon is described in the title page as a "Funeral Exhortation." At the end of this piece, are "Some more notes added to the Forgoing Exhortation." These exhortations focus on Rachel's lamentations for her children, the second going so far as to remind the parents that they have many more and that the love they have focused on this departed child is better given to God.
