like_o a_o foolish_a idolater_n weep_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o carve_a image_n judg._n 17.23_o shall_v he_o weep_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o that_o which_o be_v no_o god_n 23._o judg._n 17_o 23._o and_o shall_v not_o we_o mourn_v for_o sin_n which_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o true_a god_n reason_n 2_o second_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o weep_v for_o sin_n because_o of_o the_o misery_n which_o it_o bring_v on_o the_o son_n of_o man_n such_o a_o thing_n be_v sin_n that_o it_o not_o only_o expose_v they_o to_o temporal_a judgement_n but_o it_o make_v they_o obnoxious_a to_o woe_n everlasting_a even_o to_o hell_n fire_n which_o be_v eternal_a the_o affliction_n which_o befall_v man_n here_o be_v not_o universal_a though_o a_o man_n be_v pain_v in_o divers_a part_n of_o his_o body_n yet_o he_o be_v never_o pain_v all_o over_o still_o he_o have_v ease_n in_o some_o part_n or_o other_o but_o in_o hell_n man_n be_v pain_v in_o every_o part_n again_o while_o we_o be_v here_o our_o torment_n may_v be_v mitigate_v as_o if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o swell_a in_o any_o part_n of_o his_o body_n by_o apply_v a_o fomentation_n to_o it_o he_o may_v have_v ease_n or_o if_o he_o be_v lame_a he_o may_v be_v lead_v but_o if_o once_o he_o be_v in_o hell_n he_o shall_v not_o have_v so_o much_o as_o one_o drop_n of_o water_n to_o cool_v his_o tongue_n there_o be_v no_o mitigation_n of_o pain_n in_o that_o place_n of_o horror_n where_o their_o pain_n be_v easeless_a endless_a remediless_a where_o be_v nothing_o but_o weep_v wail_a and_o gnash_v of_o tooth_n to_o all_o eternity_n therefore_o we_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o shed_v tear_n yea_o many_o tear_n for_o our_o sin_n both_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o good_a we_o lose_v by_o they_o as_o also_o the_o misery_n they_o bring_v upon_o we_o but_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v some_o say_v be_v tear_n necessary_o require_v of_o all_o those_o that_o true_o repent_v i_o answer_v no_o for_o there_o be_v some_o constitution_n which_o afford_v no_o tear_n i_o have_v read_v a_o story_n of_o one_o that_o ever_o laugh_v and_o though_o such_o person_n can_v burst_v into_o tear_n for_o sin_n yet_o they_o may_v inward_o as_o true_o mourn_v for_o sin_n as_o he_o that_o shed_v river_n of_o tear_n second_o though_o a_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o tear_n yet_o the_o affliction_n may_v be_v such_o that_o a_o man_n can_v weep_v i_o read_v of_o one_o that_o can_v not_o but_o weep_v when_o his_o friend_n go_v to_o be_v execute_v but_o when_o his_o two_o son_n go_v the_o same_o way_n his_o sorrow_n be_v so_o great_a that_o he_o can_v not_o shed_v a_o tear_n great_a sorrow_n stupefy_v man_n so_o that_o they_o be_v as_o full_a vessel_n which_o will_v not_o run_v three_o we_o read_v in_o the_o scripture_n as_o of_o tear_n without_o repentance_n as_o in_o esau_n 27.38_o gen._n 27.38_o genes_n 27.38_o he_o shed_v many_o tear_n but_o leave_v not_o his_o profaneness_n so_o in_o mal._n 2.13_o we_o read_v of_o some_o 2.13_o mal._n 2.13_o that_o cover_v the_o altar_n of_o the_o lord_n with_o tear_n yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n they_o be_v impenitent_a so_o also_o of_o repentance_n without_o tear_n 18.13_o luk._n 18.13_o as_o in_o luk._n 18.13_o we_o read_v not_o of_o a_o tear_n that_o the_o poor_a publican_n shed_v only_o he_o smite_v his_o hand_n on_o his_o breast_n say_v o_o god_n be_v merciful_a to_o i_o a_o sinner_n yet_o he_o go_v away_o justify_v 2._o act_n 2._o and_o in_o act_n 2._o we_o read_v that_o the_o new_a convert_v be_v prick_v in_o their_o heart_n but_o not_o of_o any_o tear_n that_o fall_v from_o their_o eye_n and_o the_o thief_n upon_o the_o cross_n be_v a_o true_a penitent_a for_o he_o go_v to_o heaven_n but_o we_o hear_v not_o of_o a_o tear_n which_o he_o shed_v but_o withal_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o if_o any_o be_v apt_a to_o tear_n at_o first_o or_o last_o god_n touch_v their_o heart_n to_o weep_v for_o their_o sin_n second_o if_o any_o can_v weep_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o wife_n child_n or_o any_o other_o worldly_a thing_n and_o not_o for_o their_o transgression_n they_o may_v question_v whether_o ever_o their_o repentance_n be_v sound_a or_o no._n last_o if_o a_o man_n can_v weep_v for_o his_o sin_n no_o soul_n receive_v such_o satisfaction_n as_o that_o soul_n do_v it_o shall_v exhort_v we_o to_o weep_v and_o mourn_v for_o our_o sin_n use_v use_v we_o spend_v tear_n in_o abundance_n for_o these_o secular_a thing_n but_o we_o shall_v spare_v they_o there_o and_o spend_v they_o here_o be_v it_o not_o a_o foolery_n to_o wash_v a_o stable_a with_o sweet_a water_n thy_o tear_n be_v the_o sweet_a water_n in_o the_o world_n therefore_o spend_v they_o on_o thy_o sin_n i_o be_o sure_a thou_o can_v not_o spend_v they_o better_o but_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o time_n of_o solemnity_n when_o the_o bell_n ring_n all_o the_o clock_n be_v tie_v up_o so_o i_o fear_v it_o be_v now_o adays_o for_o such_o be_v the_o jovisance_n of_o man_n that_o they_o forget_v to_o weep_v for_o sin_n but_o if_o they_o will_v call_v their_o way_n to_o remembrance_n they_o will_v be_v sorry_a and_o weep_v whilst_o other_o sing_v and_o rejoice_v every_o of_o we_o have_v cause_n to_o weep_v for_o not_o a_o mother_n son_n of_o we_o but_o have_v bring_v the_o fuel_n of_o sin_n to_o kindle_v god_n wrath_n among_o we_o by_o send_v the_o pestilence_n to_o destroy_v we_o and_o it_o be_v better_a to_o weep_v here_o then_o hereafter_o the_o second_o thing_n in_o the_o manner_n be_v he_o cast_v himself_o down_o before_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n this_o have_v be_v the_o custom_n of_o god_n people_n the_o more_o to_o testify_v their_o sorrow_n we_o find_v many_o expression_n of_o sorrow_n in_o the_o scripture_n as_o fast_v weep_a rend_v the_o garment_n

from_o hence_o be_v this_o observation_n where_o repentance_n be_v true_a inward_a it_o will_v put_v itself_o outward_a where_o repentance_n be_v sincere_a it_o will_v not_o only_o alter_v a_o man_n judgement_n to_o make_v he_o with_o paul_n to_o think_v himself_o the_o worst_a of_o sinner_n second_o it_o will_v not_o only_o so_o humble_v he_o inward_o that_o he_o will_v not_o care_v for_o the_o revile_n of_o wicked_a man_n as_o we_o see_v in_o david_n when_o shimei_n rail_v on_o he_o but_o as_o it_o will_v have_v this_o inward_a effect_n so_o it_o will_v have_v outward_a effect_n also_o it_o will_v make_v he_o fast_o and_o weep_v and_o smite_v the_o breast_n it_o will_v force_v he_o to_o abstain_v from_o those_o delight_n which_o otherwise_o he_o may_v lawful_o take_v nay_o it_o will_v
