that_o it_o be_v impossible_a since_o he_o never_o receive_v any_o trust_n from_o they_o i_o can_v here_o pass_v by_o that_o which_o be_v very_o remarkable_a that_o even_o those_o who_o raise_v the_o

of_o similitude_n as_o which_o knit_v the_o two_o mourning_n together_o by_o way_n of_o resemblance_n of_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o foretell_v that_o the_o mourning_n in_o jerusalem_n shall_v

for_o josiah_n be_v by_o they_o who_o be_v only_a spectator_n of_o his_o death_n yea_o assistant_n to_o he_o in_o the_o battle_n whereas_o these_o be_v the_o enemy_n of_o christ_n and_o actor_n in_o

a_o type_n 31._o and_o to_o who_o therefore_o far_o inferior_a so_o that_o what_o it_o be_v say_v by_o lamech_v of_o cain_n and_o himself_o in_o case_n of_o vengeance_n 24._o may_v be_v fit_o use_v concern_v josiah_n and_o christ_n in_o case_n of_o sorrow_n if_o josiah_n be_v to_o be_v lament_v seven_o fold_n true_o jesus_n seventy_o time_n seven_o the_o guilt_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v not_o seventy_o time_n only_o but_o seven_o thousand_o time_n seven_o yea_o infinite_o great_a than_o that_o of_o josiah_n that_o which_o i_o shall_v observe_v from_o hence_o be_v that_o whereas_o the_o

ought_v to_o be_v as_o great_a nay_o great_a than_o for_o any_o outward_a trouble_n what_o soever_o it_o be_v very_o considerable_a to_o this_o purpose_n that_o the_o prophet_n make_v use_v of_o so_o

the_o commit_n of_o the_o one_o aught_o to_o be_v matter_n of_o sad_a lamentation_n than_o the_o suffering_n of_o the_o other_o but_o alas_o how_o unlike_a be_v our_o practice_n to_o this_o prediction_n how_o far_o short_a be_v our_o mourning_n for_o sin_n of_o our_o worldly_a sorrow_n if_o god_n be_v please_v to_o take_v from_o we_o any_o near_a or_o dear_a relation_n any_o earthly_a

it_o over_o with_o little_a or_o no_o contrition_n like_a ulysses_n who_o weep_v more_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o dog_n than_o his_o wife_n and_o that_o citizen_n who_o be_v more_o grieve_v for_o

more_o violent_a but_o for_o sin_n they_o must_v be_v like_o a_o river_n more_o permanent_a 2._o though_o our_o mourning_n be_v great_a for_o affliction_n expressive_o yet_o it_o may_v and_o must_v be_v great_a for_o transgression_n appretiative_o there_o be_v a_o sensitive_a and_o there_o be_v a_o rational_a sorrow_n that_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n whilst_o shallow_a whereas_o this_o be_v

yet_o this_o latter_a doubtless_o be_v inward_o more_o sorrowful_a by_o how_o much_o the_o disease_n be_v more_o desperate_a our_o passion_n may_v break_v forth_o more_o violent_o upon_o some_o
