the_o head_n have_v better_a mean_n to_o express_v the_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n of_o the_o heart_n both_o by_o mourning_n with_o the_o voice_n and_o by_o weep_v with_o the_o eye_n and_o thus_o i_o

mat._n 23_o 37._o by_o this_o complaint_n it_o appear_v that_o though_o our_o saviour_n mourn_v for_o the_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n yet_o the_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n have_v the_o great_a cause_n to_o bewail_v their_o own_o misery_n our_o prophet_n therefore_o in_o weep_v for_o the_o people_n he_o set_v they_o a_o precedent_n and_o rule_n to_o follow_v it_o be_v their_o punishment_n that_o strike_v his_o hart_n with_o this_o inward_a sorrow_n and_o cause_v his_o eye_n to_o shed_v tear_n and_o therefore_o he_o frame_v himself_o to_o weep_v that_o by_o his_o weep_n he_o may_v wring_v tear_n out_o of_o their_o eye_n but_o ought_v not_o every_o man_n to_o be_v move_v most_o with_o that_o which_o most_o concern_v himself_o why_o then_o be_v our_o prophet_n touch_v with_o a_o more_o

their_o eye_n fountain_n of_o tear_n that_o they_o may_v weep_v day_n and_o night_n for_o the_o destruction_n that_o shall_v come_v upon_o themselves_o oh_o their_o heart_n be_v harden_v &_o that_o
