god_n for_o mercy_n may_v not_o yet_o enter_v into_o he_o eat_v for_o this_o reason_n let_v we_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o we_o must_v thus_o imitate_v their_o behaviour_n in_o misery_n so_o the_o next_o be_v their_o remedy_n which_o likewise_o mu●●_n be_v we_o they_o cast_v their_o burden_n upon_o the_o lord_n know_v full_a well_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o help_v they_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o as_o willing_a as_o able_a because_o their_o god_n in_o treat_v of_o which_o the_o utmost_a of_o my_o intent_n shall_v be_v to_o divide_v such_o share_n of_o sorrow_n among_o you_o as_o that_o your_o very_a soul_n may_v be_v even_o cut_v asunder_o within_o you_o be_v indeed_o your_o only_a remedy_n in_o trouble_n and_o the_o only_a way_n to_o appease_v your_o angry_a god_n for_o the_o break_a and_o contrite_a heart_n he_o will_v not_o despise_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o sigh_v and_o weep_v and_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o people_n misery_n be_v famine_n so_o their_o case_n in_o regard_n of_o any_o earthly_a succour_n that_o can_v be_v expect_v be_v helpless_a and_o remediless_a for_o the_o heaven_n be_v become_v as_o brass_n and_o the_o

the_o point_n be_v this_o obs_n obs_n that_o godly_a sorrow_n and_o holy_a affliction_n be_v the_o best_a remedy_n in_o any_o sorrow_n and_o affliction_n whether_o it_o be_v from_o man_n from_o

extremity_n whatsoever_o this_o inward_a godly_a grief_n be_v a_o salve_n for_o every_o sore_a and_o a_o plaster_n for_o every_o wound_n to_o weep_v and_o cry_v and_o pour_v out_o our_o heart_n before_o god_n be_v the_o course_n that_o this_o people_n here_o take_v and_o that_o which_o we_o must_v take_v in_o the_o like_a or_o any_o other_o ealamity_n and_o according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o the_o affliction_n and_o as_o it_o be_v more_o public_a or_o private_a so_o must_v be_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o lamentation_n to_o this_o there_o be_v a_o promise_n make_v in_o isaiah_n 61.1.2.3_o isa_n 61.1.2.3_o that_o when_o our_o hand_n can_v help_v ourselves_o nor_o our_o tongue_n prevail_v with_o other_o yet_o than_o we_o may_v relieve_v ourselves_o by_o our_o prayer_n unto_o god_n for_o in_o that_o place_n the_o lord_n undertake_v that_o mourner_n shall_v be_v comfort_v and_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n why_o god_n shall_v so_o deal_v with_o such_o kind_n of_o person_n for_o first_o he_o be_v full_a of_o pity_n and_o compassion_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n joel_n bid_v we_o 2.13_o joel_n 2.13_o rend_v our_o heart_n and_o not_o our_o garment_n that_o be_v bring_v inward_a sorrow_n that_o may_v crush_v and_o break_v the_o heart_n and_o then_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n which_o if_o we_o do_v we_o shall_v be_v sure_a of_o relief_n because_o the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a say_v he_o and_o our_o god_n be_v ready_a to_o forgive_v when_o we_o see_v our_o child_n weep_v mourn_a and_o confess_v their_o fault_n we_o can_v but_o have_v our_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n carn_v towards_o they_o what_o shall_v we_o then_o think_v of_o god_n he_o be_v our_o father_n we_o be_v his_o child_n and_o be_v be_v far_o more_o merciful_a than_o we_o can_v be_v for_o he_o have_v no_o other_o bowel_n than_o the_o bowel_n of_o compassion_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o mourn_v in_o a_o holy_a manner_n certain_o he_o will_v arise_v and_o have_v mercy_n upon_o we_o he_o can_v slay_v when_o he_o see_v our_o eye_n full_a of_o tear_n and_o our_o heart_n full_a of_o sorrow_n for_o the_o sigh_n and_o groan_n of_o his_o people_n will_v not_o let_v he_o have_v rest_n in_o heaven_n second_o this_o godly_a mourning_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o special_a remedy_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o affliction_n because_o it_o make_v our_o prayer_n very_o forcible_a it_o set_v a_o edge_n upon_o our_o petition_n and_o make_v we_o pray_v hearty_o servent_o and_o strong_o when_o jacob_n weep_v in_o his_o prayer_n 4._o hos_fw-la 12_o 4._o it_o be_v so_o effectual_a that_o he_o prevayl_v when_o god_n people_n join_v together_o to_o pour_v forth_o bucket_n full_a of_o tear_n draw_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o heart_n before_o the_o lord_n 7.6_o 1_o sam_n 7.6_o they_o be_v marvellous_o help_v for_o the_o great_a measure_n of_o their_o tear_n make_v their_o supplication_n more_o servant_n and_o therefore_o when_o our_o saviour_n be_v about_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o his_o mediatorship_n then_o do_v he_o gather_v strength_n unto_o himself_o by_o this_o mean_n he_o do_v offer_v up_o prayer_n with_o strong_a cry_v and_o tear_n unto_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o save_v he_o from_o death_n heb._n 5.7_o three_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o effectual_a because_o it_o be_v exceed_o forcible_a against_o sin_n for_o when_o sorrow_n come_v into_o the_o heart_n sin_n go_v out_o it_o will_v not_o lodge_v there_o unless_o it_o be_v cocker_v and_o much_o make_v of_o when_o every_o one_o lament_v his_o iniquity_n and_o mourn_v over_o christ_n jesus_n who_o by_o his_o sin_n he_o have_v pierce_v then_o there_o be_v a_o fountain_n open_v to_o wash_v we_o all_o from_o our_o sin_n that_o have_v make_v a_o wicked_a separation_n betwixt_o we_o and_o our_o god_n and_o see_v then_o that_o this_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v a_o mean_n to_o make_v god_n pity_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o call_v earnest_o upon_o he_o and_o to_o expel_v sin_n which_o may_v hinder_v we_o from_o prevayl_v with_o he_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o of_o all_o remedy_n in_o time_n of_o distress_n this_o be_v the_o best_a and_o sure_a since_o sorrow_n be_v our_o only_a safery_n and_o the_o best_a and_o sure_a remedy_n in_o distress_n let_v we_o a_o little_a reflect_v upon_o ourselves_o and_o misery_n and_o apply_v this_o sovereign_a balm_n to_o all_o our_o wound_n there_o be_v many_o affliction_n abroad_o at_o sea_n ship_n take_v merchant_n spoil_v good_n seize_v mariner_n imprison_v many_o at_o home_n in_o our_o town_n nay_o in_o our_o own_o family_n as_o loss_n eross_n sickness_n disease_n part_v with_o friend_n discontent_n nay_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n amiss_o in_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o here_o be_v medicine_n for_o every_o one_o of_o our_o malady_n let_v we_o then_o get_v it_o and_o use_v it_o and_o all_o argument_n and_o help_n that_o may_v continue_v and_o increase_v it_o thus_o the_o ninevite_n when_o jonah_n threaten_v destruction_n against_o their_o city_n within_o forty_o day_n they_o humble_v and_o abase_v themselves_o and_o fell_a to_o mourning_n and_o use_v fast_v to_o help_v it_o forward_o and_o to_o further_o they_o to_o this_o remorse_n and_o grief_n for_o their_o great_a and_o heinous_a transgression_n they_o have_v grieve_v the_o lord_n by_o their_o iniquity_n and_o therefore_o now_o they_o will_v grieve_v themselves_o with_o contrition_n for_o they_o and_o neglect_v no_o mean_n to_o further_o they_o in_o the_o work_n of_o humiliation_n 8._o jonah_n 3.5_o 6_o 7_o 8._o they_o proclaim_v a_o fast_a they_o put_v on_o sackcloth_n from_o the_o great_a to_o the_o least_o they_o neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v they_o cry_v mighty_o unto_o god_n and_o every_o man_n turn_v from_o his_o evil_a way_n and_o from_o the_o wickedness_n that_o be_v in_o their_o hand_n and_o when_o god_n see_v that_o they_o turn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n than_o god_n repent_v of_o the_o evil_a that_o he_o say_v he_o will_v do_v unto_o they_o and_o he_o do_v it_o not_o and_o since_o we_o of_o this_o nation_n have_v see_v and_o feel_v affliction_n and_o just_o may_v fear_v danger_n to_o be_v near_o we_o still_o let_v we_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o this_o mourning_n if_o we_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o and_o shall_v continue_v to_o be_v hard-hearted_a suppose_v the_o devour_a blood-letting_n sword_n shall_v come_v again_o into_o our_o land_n suppose_v the_o plague_n like_o a_o load_a sponge_n shall_v come_v fly_v through_o our_o town_n and_o country_n sprinkle_v poison_n wheresoever_o
