disconsolate_a yet_o be_v they_o secret_o guide_v by_o the_o true_a spirit_n of_o comfort_n sorrow_n do_v sometime_o also_o keepe-in_a tear_n when_o the_o heart_n be_v excessive_o contract_v when_o it_o so_o call_v in_o the_o vital_a heat_n that_o the_o moisture_n of_o the_o brain_n be_v mere_o congeal_v such_o winter_n also_o do_v the_o righteous_a sometime_o feel_v and_o only_o will_v shed_v tear_n because_o he_o can_v not_o and_o thus_o his_o will_n do_v weep_v though_o his_o eye_n do_v not_o it_o be_v indeed_o only_a man_n intentive_a will_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o only_a man_n do_v weep_v and_o good_a reason_n it_o be_v since_o it_o be_v only_o his_o will_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o consequent_o a_o occasion_n of_o his_o tear_n the_o soft_a heart_n be_v natural_o most_o ready_a to_o weep_v and_o it_o be_v the_o soft_a heart_n that_o be_v spiritual_o most_o ready_a to_o weep_v yet_o if_o you_o will_v know_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o tear_n you_o may_v observe_v nay_o for_o fear_n of_o error_n you_o must_v observe_v that_o as_o tear_n flow_v from_o the_o moisture_n of_o nourishment_n receive_v into_o the_o body_n so_o spiritual_a sorrow_n flow_v from_o grace_n receive_v into_o the_o soul_n unto_o which_o grace_n of_o sorrow_n in_o our_o conversion_n in_o the_o first_o point_n of_o conversion_n the_o will_n be_v mere_o passive_a mere_o passive_a in_o respect_n of_o a_o inward_a change_n though_o it_o have_v still_o natural_a liberty_n by_o which_o it_o be_v always_o active_a active_a in_o general_n to_o concur_v to_o a_o act_n of_o faith_n as_o to_o a_o act_n not_o in_o special_a as_o to_o such_o a_o act_n an_z act_n of_o faith_n the_o natural_a will_n can_v concur_v to_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o outward_a mean_n as_o it_o can_v free_o hear_v or_o not_o hear_v the_o word_n preach_v but_o the_o inward_a efficient_a cause_n of_o conversion_n be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o which_o expression_n we_o may_v understand_v all_o subordinate_a cause_n inservient_fw-la in_o that_o work_n though_o not_o work_v by_o their_o own_o power_n but_o by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o thus_o we_o may_v say_v that_o conversion_n be_v the_o work_n of_o man_n as_o he_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o it_o but_o the_o work_n of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o motion_n the_o will_n in_o this_o be_v like_o elisha_n eye_n which_o have_v a_o natural_a power_n to_o see_v but_o it_o need_v a_o supernatural_a power_n to_o discern_v a_o supernatural_a aid_n of_o angel_n a_o active_a liberty_n then_o unto_o grace_n the_o will_n by_o mere_a nature_n can_v not_o claim_v nor_o may_v we_o though_o some_o do_v attribute_v a_o active_a power_n to_o the_o water_n in_o baptism_n though_o sacramental_a much_o less_o to_o the_o tear_n in_o repentance_n as_o if_o the_o water_n do_v concur_v active_o and_o physical_o to_o the_o production_n of_o grace_n god_n do_v indeed_o sometime_o exalt_v a_o natural_a agent_n to_o a_o ability_n above_o his_o degree_n in_o his_o kind_n but_o never_o above_o his_o kind_n the_o first_o be_v to_o help_v thing_n in_o their_o order_n but_o the_o last_o be_v to_o destroy_v order_n the_o god_n then_o of_o nature_n and_o of_o order_n do_v not_o make_v a_o natural_a agent_n the_o proper_a cause_n of_o a_o supernatural_a effect_n which_o truth_n may_v save_v we_o from_o the_o magisteriall_a imposition_n of_o mistake_a reason_n our_o prophet_n here_o do_v wish_v for_o this_o sorrow_n it_o be_v not_o then_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n he_o desire_v either_o in_o his_o own_o possession_n or_o at_o all_o in_o his_o power_n the_o cause_n then_o of_o spiritual_a sorrow_n can_v not_o be_v natural_a and_o as_o holy_a tear_n have_v thus_o their_o cause_n from_o grace_n so_o also_o have_v they_o their_o abundance_n and_o here_o we_o may_v far_o observe_v the_o apt_a wisdom_n of_o the_o prophet_n who_o express_v his_o sorrow_n a_o work_n of_o grace_n by_o similitude_n and_o parallel_n to_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n now_o in_o nature_n there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o fountain_n that_o send_v forth_o stream_n but_o there_o be_v also_o water_n in_o the_o cavern_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o nourish_v the_o fountain_n so_o must_v there_o be_v not_o only_o a_o fountain_n in_o the_o penitent_a eye_n but_o there_o must_v also_o be_v inward_o store_n of_o water_n he_o wish_v therefore_o not_o only_o that_o his_o eye_n be_v a_o fountain_n but_o also_o nay_o first_o of_o all_o that_o his_o head_n be_v water_n and_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o collection_n of_o water_n which_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n we_o shall_v find_v some_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v cause_v by_o protrusion_n as_o we_o may_v call_v it_o by_o a_o violent_a blast_n force_v those_o water_n into_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o s_n basil_n some_o also_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o attribute_v it_o to_o the_o attractive_a influence_n of_o the_o heaven_n so_o aquinas_n both_o which_o way_n we_o shall_v find_v proportional_a to_o god_n manner_n of_o work_v in_o the_o soul_n while_o some_o he_o thrust_v into_o tear_n by_o affliction_n as_o some_o he_o draw_v into_o tear_n by_o love_n and_o as_o the_o water_n in_o the_o earth_n as_o some_o think_v do_v serve_v to_o temper_v the_o vein_n of_o metal_n so_o do_v the_o secret_a sorrow_n of_o the_o heart_n serve_v to_o temper_v the_o hardness_n of_o the_o heart_n that_o at_o last_o it_o confess_v it_o be_v water_n and_o the_o eye_n as_o a_o fountain_n send_v forth_o stream_n of_o tear_n now_o stream_n as_o they_o pass_v do_v common_o cleanse_v such_o place_n as_o they_o passe-through_a so_o sure_o the_o tear_n of_o the_o true_o penitent_a do_v not_o only_o wash_v away_o his_o fin_n but_o they_o endeavour_v also_o to_o wash_v away_o otherman_n and_o consequent_o the_o calamity_n due_a unto_o they_o which_o object_n of_o sorrow_n we_o shall_v next_o behold_v if_o through_o the_o darkness_n of_o sorrow_n we_o can_v behold_v it_o but_o alas_o what_o pleasure_n be_v in_o destruction_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n be_v also_o contrary_a to_o pleasure_v what_o pleasure_n in_o garment_n roll_v in_o blood_n which_o do_v afford_v more_o horror_n than_o warmth_n what_o pleasure_n in_o the_o tumult_n of_o the_o battle_n where_o not_o to_o be_v furious_a be_v to_o be_v cowardly_a where_o mercy_n be_v hold_v a_o absurdity_n and_o to_o be_v barbarous_a a_o glory_n this_o be_v the_o prerogative_n and_o the_o supererogation_n of_o the_o sword_n this_o claim_v alone_o the_o triumph_n over_o the_o conquer_a this_o usual_o alone_a over-act_n the_o triumph_n yet_o thus_o do_v the_o sword_n sleight_n judah_n to_o a_o slaughter_n and_o wound_v the_o prophet_n also_o with_o compassion_n but_o be_v judah_n so_o destroy_v that_o it_o have_v leave_v none_o like_o unto_o she_o yet_o than_o her_o vice_n also_o be_v go_v with_o she_o but_o sure_o there_o will_v always_o be_v a_o people_n and_o but_o too_o

they_o want_v fault_n nay_o by_o turn_v his_o blessing_n into_o sin_n they_o make_v he_o turn_v they_o into_o curse_n the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n the_o deformity_n of_o which_o if_o in_o the_o
