John20:11

Verſe 11. Mary ſtood at the ſepulchre, weeping.] Some thinke it was, becauſe ſhe conceived that the Jews had gotten away our Saviours dead body to diſhonour it: as the Popiſh perſecutours digd up Bucers, and many other good mens bones to burn them. She wept, where ſhe had no ſuch cauſe: ſo doe too many, women eſpecially, who ſhould doe well to keep their tears for better uſes, and not waſh foul rooms with ſweet waters. Needleſſe tears muſt be unwept again.
