ponder_v and_o consider_v these_o thing_n and_o god_n give_v you_o understanding_n &_o grace_n to_o find_v all_o these_o branch_n of_o holy_a sorrow_n in_o your_o soul_n that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o a_o plentiful_a crop_n and_o harvest_n of_o joy_n here_o and_o glory_n afterward_o and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o sign_n of_o this_o sacred_a and_o holy_a grace_n 3._o remarkable_a sign_n &_o symptom_n of_o this_o sound_a godly_a sorrow_n be_v when_o it_o pass_v not_o the_o limit_n extent_n and_o bound_n which_o god_n in_o his_o eternal_a truth_n have_v set_v it_o which_o if_o it_o do_v it_o become_v sinful_a and_o evil_a for_o it_o be_v with_o this_o grace_n as_o with_o the_o moral_a virtue_n which_o must_v not_o exceed_v their_o medium_n the_o eternal_a have_v bound_v it_o as_o the_o sea_n by_o the_o little_a sand_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v and_o give_v commandment_n as_o to_o the_o israelite_n at_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n upon_o mount_n sinai_n beyond_o which_o if_o they_o presume_v it_o 19.12_o it_o exo._n 19.12_o be_v death_n now_o it_o exceed_v and_o pass_v limit_n two_o way_n 1._o when_o it_o exceed_v in_o time_n that_o man_n lie_v under_o it_o not_o only_a night_n and_o day_n but_o month_n and_o year_n yea_o ten_o twenty_o year_n as_o i_o have_v know_v some_o it_o be_v a_o plain_a sign_n that_o howsoever_o god_n offend_v be_v the_o object_n of_o their_o sorrow_n yet_o it_o be_v his_o justice_n which_o their_o eye_n behold_v and_o legal_a sorrow_n at_o the_o fair_a &_o self-love_n be_v the_o main_a wheel_n which_o set_v this_o sorrow_n on_o work_n the_o sense_n of_o his_o fearful_a wrath_n like_o the_o roar_n of_o the_o lion_n make_v they_o tremble_v if_o they_o can_v make_v their_o part_n good_a against_o he_o they_o will_v never_o shed_v a_o tear_n or_o be_v perplex_v in_o their_o spirit_n or_o if_o not_o so_o yet_o in_o some_o it_o be_v want_v of_o instruction_n or_o knowledge_n of_o this_o grace_n and_o how_o to_o carry_v themselves_o which_o if_o they_o do_v their_o comfort_n will_v be_v both_o special_a and_o speedy_a as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v 30.5_o speak_v psal_n 30.5_o sorrow_n over_o night_n but_o joy_n comnâ—â—â—h_v in_o the_o morning_n and_o they_o shall_v fear_v if_o they_o find_v it_o not_o and_o no_o matuaile_n though_o some_o of_o god_n servant_n miss_v of_o this_o right_a sorrow_n when_o as_o such_o a_o experienced_a soldier_n as_o david_n miss_v of_o it_o and_o be_v fill_v with_o roar_n and_o perplexity_n with_o a_o roar_a sorrow_n which_o be_v not_o join_v with_o so_o much_o as_o particular_a confession_n of_o that_o special_a sin_n that_o perplex_a and_o trouble_v his_o poor_a soul_n but_o when_o he_o have_v recall_v his_o thought_n &_o pluck_v up_o his_o
