John Trapp on 1 Corinthians 7:30

Verſe 30. And they that weep] viz. In the loſſe of wife or children: Let them moderate their grief, as Abraham did in the loſſe of Sarah, Gen. 23.2. He came to weep for her: where the Hebrew hath one little letter extraordinary: To note that Abraham wept but a little for her; and this, not becauſe ſhe was old and over-worne (as the Rabbins give the reaſon) but becauſe he had hope of a happy reſurrection, 1 Theſſ. 4.14. and becauſe ſhe was his ſtill, though dead: therefore he ſo oft in that Chapter calleth her my dead, v. 4, 11, 13, 15.

And they that rejoyce] In the marrying of wives, or birth of children.

As if they poſſeſſed not] minde earthly things we muſt, as if we minded them not: As a man may hear a tale, and have his minde elſewhere: or as a man that baits at an Inne, his minde is ſomewhere elſe. A right believer (ſaith one) goes thorow the world,Mr Ward. as a man whoſe minde is in a deep ſtudy: or as one that hath ſpeciall haſte of ſome weighty buſineſſe. Rebus non me trado, ſed commodo, ſaith Seneca. Be not wholly dulled or drowned in the world: look at it out of the eyes end only, leſt as the Serpent Scytale, it be witch us with it's beautifull colours, and ſting us to death.
