my fathers lyeth waste and the Gates thereof are consumed with fire Nehem. 2.2 3. How can Sions Sons be rejoycing when their Mother is mourning Though they were the Jews Desolation yet they were Jeremies Lamentation How can such rejoyce in her standing that do not mourn for her falling When the Churches Adversaries make long furrows upon her back we should cast in the seed of tears Remember them that are in bonds as being bound with them and them which suffer adversitie as being your selves also in the body Heb. 13.3 Sympathising with others makes an estate that is joyful more happy and an estate that is doleful less heavy The righteous perish and no man layeth it to heart Isa 5.7 We may draw up that charge against many now Amos 6.46 They lye upon beds of Ivory and stretch themselves upon Couches and eat the Lambs out of the flock and the Calves out of the midst of the stall that drink wine in bowls and anoint them selves with the chief Ointments but they are not grieved for the afflictions of Joseph O that there were not too many such now adays that eat the fat and drink the sweet and are not troubled for Sions troubles Instead of sympathising with them in their misery they are censuring of them for their misery But the true Servants of God are tender and broken-hearted they weep and mourn and wring their hands for Sions sins for Sions Breaches for Sions Calamities for Sions Deliverance and thus they do and will do till they see Sion on Mount Sion with the Lamb to be Tenthly the Lambs followers are known by their love to Christ and sufferings for Christ they chuse the worst of sorrows before they will commit the least of sins For thy sake are we killed all the day long and counted as sheep for the slaughter Psa 44.
