The grammar of two sentences
Hello, everyone, I am confused about the grammar of the parts in green of these sentences below. Could you give me some explainaions? Thanks in advance.
1.But in an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do , the fear of death is somewhat abject andignoble.
2.And if, with the decay of vitality, weariness increases, the thought of rest will be not unwelcome.
Could I change it into "not be unwelcome"? what are the differences between the two?
