their_o tear_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v spend_v on_o their_o affliction_n than_o their_o sin_n they_o see_v no_o great_a hurt_n in_o sin_n but_o they_o feel_v much_o in_o affliction_n affliction_n be_v a_o grievous_a thing_n to_o they_o but_o corruption_n be_v not_o so_o there_o be_v a_o principle_n in_o nature_n which_o make_v a_o man_n averse_a from_o penal_a evil_n but_o there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o that_o make_v he_o averse_a from_o sinful_a evil_n so_o that_o a_o man_n need_v nothing_o else_o but_o nature_n to_o make_v he_o sensible_a of_o penal_a evil_n of_o affliction_n but_o he_o need_v more_o than_o nature_n to_o make_v he_o sensible_a of_o sin_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v because_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n have_v nothing_o else_o but_o nature_n in_o they_o that_o they_o be_v so_o exceed_o affect_v with_o the_o one_o and_o so_o regardless_o of_o the_o other_o now_o these_o affection_n follow_v apprehension_n as_o they_o always_o do_v they_o be_v mistake_v in_o their_o judgement_n and_o so_o they_o misapply_v their_o passion_n they_o look_v upon_o their_o sin_n as_o small_a matter_n but_o they_o amplify_v their_o trouble_n and_o affliction_n as_o he_o in_o the_o poet_n i_o be_o ten_o time_n twenty_o time_n a_o hundred_o time_n miserable_a and_o hence_o they_o weep_v for_o their_o affliction_n and_o will_v not_o be_v comfort_v while_o they_o have_v not_o a_o

they_o be_v little_o trouble_v at_o their_o sin_n they_o cry_v because_o of_o their_o affliction_n they_o do_v not_o only_o sigh_v and_o mourn_v and_o grieve_v and_o weep_v but_o more_o than_o so_o they_o cry_v aloud_o which_o show_v extremity_n of_o sorrow_n but_o we_o hear_v nothing_o of_o any_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o god_n come_v in_o and_o interrupt_v they_o why_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n with_o you_o can_v you_o tell_v why_o you_o take_v on_o in_o this_o fashion_n why_o cry_v thou_o for_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d thy_o sorrow_n be_v incurable_a for_o the_o multitude_n of_o thy_o iniquity_n because_o thy_o sin_n be_v increase_v and_o so_o for_o penal_a evil_n they_o mistake_v there_o too_o they_o think_v that_o temporal_a judgement_n be_v great_a and_o heavy_a than_o spiritual_a judgement_n they_o take_v the_o bodily_a plague_n to_o be_v worse_o than_o the_o plague_n of_o the_o heart_n a_o famine_n of_o corn_n than_o the_o famine_n of_o the_o word_n and_o so_o they_o grieve_v more_o for_o the_o one_o then_o for_o the_o other_o and_o they_o have_v rather_o lose_v their_o saviour_n then_o their_o 〈◊〉_d that_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n then_o why_o we_o misplace_v our_o grief_n because_o our_o understanding_n be_v mislead_v 2._o the_o second_o be_v because_o our_o affection_n be_v mislead_v i_o mean_v our_o love_n for_o love_n be_v the_o commander_n
