natural_a sorrow_n far_o enough_o from_o this_o bless_a sorrow_n which_o will_v bring_v consolation_n be_v the_o sorrow_n of_o the_o scandalized_a or_o melancholy_n which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o whole_a fourteen_o chapter_n and_o beginning_n of_o the_o fifteen_o of_o his_o epistle_n to_o the_o roman_n call_v he_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o weak_a christiau_n but_o indeed_o because_o many_o be_v deceive_v in_o this_o sorrow_n and_o lose_v their_o soul_n and_o many_o also_o think_v the_o godly_a sorrow_n to_o be_v but_o sickness_n passion_n conceit_n or_o melancholy_a and_o because_o it_o change_v the_o body_n often_o they_o think_v it_o arise_v from_o the_o body_n but_o there_o be_v no_o disease_n like_o to_o this_o for_o symptom_n and_o torment_n and_o therefore_o here_o i_o will_v consider_v two_o thing_n 1._o the_o difference_n betwixt_o godly_a sorrow_n &_o fit_v of_o melancholy_a 2._o how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o this_o sickness_n be_v in_o the_o soul_n yet_o often_o it_o infeeble_v the_o body_n touch_v the_o first_o there_o be_v four_o difference_n 1_o they_o all_o be_v natural_a whether_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o blood_n universal_o or_o the_o blood_n in_o the_o brain_n only_o engender_v through_o inflammation_n and_o evil_o affect_v about_o the_o stomach_n and_o side_n which_o be_v all_o distinguish_v by_o physician_n by_o their_o cause_n and_o symptom_n which_o in_o some_o be_v almost_o incredible_a and_o strange_a but_o this_o be_v supernatural_a a_o plant_n of_o god_n own_o plant_n &_o that_o it_o be_v so_o needs_o no_o other_o reason_n to_o prove_v it_o then_o that_o god_n command_v it_o for_o natural_a thing_n need_v no_o commandment_n be_v a_o rule_v axiom_n in_o divinity_n 2._o they_o from_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o body_n but_o this_o be_v from_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o soul_n 3._o in_o melancholy_a the_o humour_n first_o and_o then_o the_o imagination_n but_o in_o this_o sorrow_n the_o conscience_n first_o and_o the_o humour_n after_o be_v affect_v to_o the_o weaken_n &_o waste_v of_o the_o body_n 4._o they_o even_o all_o kind_n may_v be_v cure_v by_o natural_a remedy_n &_o medicine_n bring_v nature_n to_o his_o right_a temper_n all_o natural_a medicine_n under_o heaven_n can_v cure_v this_o sickness_n yet_o i_o confess_v that_o sometime_o these_o be_v mix_v together_o sickness_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o mind_n and_o then_o be_v it_o hard_o to_o cure_v the_o one_o without_o the_o other_o but_o the_o cure_n must_v be_v endeavour_v by_o spiritual_a &_o bodily_a help_n continual_o 2_o that_o the_o body_n be_v oft_o enfeeble_v by_o the_o sickness_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v because_o of_o the_o near_a conjunction_n sympathy_n and_o union_n of_o they_o both_o be_v unite_v in_o one_o person_n for_o the_o soul_n possess_v with_o fear_n sorrow_n languish_v and_o heaviness_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o the_o body_n can_v take_v any_o delight_n in_o natural_a and_o bodily_a comfort_n the_o sleep_n will_v be_v short_a &_o not_o so_o brief_a as_o troublesome_a and_o tempestuous_a meat_n and_o drink_n shall_v be_v tastelesse_a or_o loathsome_a or_o mingle_v with_o tear_n as_o david_n say_v 102.4_o say_v psal_n 102.4_o i_o forget_v to_o eat_v my_o bread_n the_o use_n of_o wife_n child_n house_n land_n

18.14_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n will_v sustain_v his_o infirmity_n that_o be_v all_o natural_a infirmity_n sickness_n loss_n &_o molestation_n but_o when_o these_o fail_n in_o the_o want_n of_o the_o consolation_n of_o god_n what_o shall_v up-hold_a he_o 2._o it_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o the_o righteous_a
