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

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
