John 11:19

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Ver. 19. To comfort them ] A pious office, and yet never thought of by the superstitious Papists, amidst all those vain fopperies they prescribe to be done about the dead. Only, what the ancients used for the comfort of the living is perverted by them to the pretended service and help of the dead.
