is not turned back from us And Jer. 6.26 saith he O daughter of my people gird thee with sackcloth and wallow thy s●lf in ashes make thee mourning as for an only son most bitter lamentation for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us To mourning doth he call them upon the sight of the evil that he saw coming upon them And for the great wickedness of his people and the Judgments of God that came upon them for it doth the Prophet lament sore Jer. 9.1 Oh saith he that my head were waters and mine eyes a fountain of tears that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people O that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men that I might leave my people and go from them For they be all adulterers an assembly of treacherous men And saith he Jer. 13.16 Give glory to the Lord your God before he cause darkness and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains and while ye look for light he turn it into the shadow of death and make it gross darkness But if ye will not hear it my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride and mine eyes shall weep sore and run down with tears because the Lord's flock is carried away captive While there remained some time to provide for their peace and good he exhorts them to a reformation and to give glory to God before the time of darkness came fully upon them But if they would not hear he tells them that he would sorely bewail their folly and the calamity and misery that would come upon them And this God ordered that they should mourn and weep for the misery that was coming upon them Jer. 9.17 Thus saith the Lord of Hosts consider ye and call for the mourning women that they may come and let them make hast and take up a wailing for us that our eyes may run down with tears and our eye-lids gush out with waters And ver 21. For death is come up into our windows and is entered into our palaces to cut off the children from without and the young men from the streets And saith God to him Jer. 14.17 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them let mine eyes run down with tears night and day and let them not cease for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach with a very grievous blow If I go forth into the field then behold the slain with the sword and if I enter into the city then behold them that are sick with famine yea both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not Thus was he to weep before them for their miseries And the Prophet sheweth how Jerusalem wept for the miseries and sorrows that were come upon her Lam. 1.2 She weepeth sore in the night and her tears are on her cheeks among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her all her friends have dealt treacherously with her they are become her enemies And I wish that the Sons of the Protestant Church would not now so deal with her and become her enemies And ver 15 The Lord hath troden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men The Lord hath troden the virgin the daughter of Judah as in a wine press For these things I weep mine eye mine eye runneth down with water because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me my children are desolate because the enemy prevaileth Zion spreadeth forth her hands and there is none to comfort her the Lord hath commanded concerning Jacob that his adversaries should be round about him Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them Thus doth he bring in Jerusalem bewailing her self and doth much lament her desolate condition And saith he Lam. 2.11 Mine eyes do fail with tears my bowels are troubled my liver is poured upon the earth for the destruction of the daughter of my people because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city In this extraordinary manner was he troubled and did sorely weep for the great misery that came upon them and their beloved Jerusalem And the Prophet Amos rebukes it as a crime in some of them that they were not grieved for the affliction of the People of God Amos 6.1 Wo to them that are at ease in Zion And ver 6. That drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the chief ointments But tbey are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph And our blessed Lord himself wept over Jerusalem for the misery and destruction that was coming upon it Lu. 19.41 And when he was come near he behold the city and wept over it saying if thou hadst known even thou at least in this thy day the things which belong unto thy Peace but now they are hid from thine eyes For the days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and keep thee in on every side and shall lay thee even with the ground Thus sorrowful did our blessed Lord shew himself for the great misery and destruction that was coming upon this City for the great wickedness thereof and did most earnestly desire that they would amend and mind the things that belonged to their Peace before it was too late and was greatly troubled at their carnal security that they were so unconcerned in this weighty matter By these and such places we see that it is our duty to be troubled and to mourn and weep for all the publick Calamities and Miseries that befal our Church and Nation To see men to grow cold in their Zeal and Devotion towards Almighty G●d and to have little or no heart towards their duty and se●vice towards him To see the house of God to be deserted and forsaken and his Ordinances and Worship to be slighted and neglected To see the Church rent and torn to pieces with schisms and divisions and to see mens zeal all spent a wrong way in heats against one another To understand that Popery is like to prevail over the Protestant Church for three years and an half and that the Popish Gentiles are like to tread under foot the holy City the true Church of Christ for forty and two months To see wickedness and impiety to abound every where in the Nation and Love and Goodness to be withdrawn to see the Kingdom divided into Factions and Parties and to know as our Lord hath told us that a Kingdom so divided cannot stand To see that our sins and iniquities are grown great and to know that wrath and judgments will be sure to be the issue and consequence of them These things must needs be matter of sorrow and grief to all good men and call them to lamentation and mourning to see the Peace of our Church and Kingdom in such a manner to lie a bleeding
