it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o notice_n take_v of_o any_o other_o tear_n but_o they_o in_o the_o verse_n before_o the_o text_n and_o that_o our_o saviour_n turn_v himself_o and_o direct_v his_o

which_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o weep_v daughter_n of_o jerusalem_n weep_v not_o for_o i_o and_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o have_v his_o permission_n in_o which_o he_o allow_v they_o to_o

thing_n in_o the_o same_o respect_n but_o in_o relation_n to_o a_o diverse_a object_n in_o relation_n to_o himself_o he_o forbid_v they_o to_o weep_v weep_v not_o for_o i_o in_o relation_n to_o themselves_o he_o allow_v they_o to_o weep_v but_o weep_v for_o yourselves_o and_o for_o your_o child_n the_o total_a final_a and_o irreparable_a ruin_n of_o jerusalem_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n our_o saviour_n have_v it_o in_o his_o eye_n when_o he_o speak_v these_o word_n he_o weep_v apace_o for_o this_o himself_o but_o a_o little_a while_n before_o as_o you_o may_v see_v luke_n 19_o 41._o he_o behold_v the_o city_n and_o weep_v over_o it_o first_o he_o behold_v it_o with_o his_o eye_n and_o then_o his_o eye_n affect_v his_o heart_n woe_n and_o alas_o say_v he_o while_o in_o a_o pang_n of_o holy_a pity_n and_o compassion_n the_o tear_n come_v flow_v down_o his_o cheek_n if_o thou_o bid_v know_v even_o thou_o at_o least_o in_o this_o thy_o day_n the_o thing_n which_o belong_v unto_o thy_o peace_n but_o now_o they_o be_v hide_v from_o thy_o eye_n and_o therefore_o he_o allow_v they_o to_o weep_v for_o this_o who_o be_v to_o have_v a_o share_n and_o portion_n in_o that_o dreadful_a desolation_n but_o for_o himself_o who_o willing_o submit_v to_o the_o death_n which_o he_o be_v lead_v to_o and_o all_o the_o other_o circumstance_n of_o his_o passion_n who_o be_v belove_v of_o he_o who_o have_v appoint_v and_o design_v he_o to_o it_o who_o be_v god_n as_o well_o as_o man_n and_o therefore_o able_a to_o endure_v it_o and_o to_o overcome_v it_o too_o and_o who_o be_v short_o to_o be_v rescue_v from_o the_o jaw_n of_o death_n and_o so_o triumphant_o to_o enter_v into_o glory_n he_o forbid_v they_o to_o weep_v weep_v not_o for_o i_o but_o weep_v for_o yourselves_o and_o for_o etc._n etc._n so_o that_o the_o purpose_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o whole_o to_o suppress_v but_o to_o rectify_v their_o sorrow_n they_o weep_v for_o he_o out_o of_o a_o childish_a kind_n of_o pity_n but_o they_o weep_v not_o for_o their_o sin_n nor_o the_o unseen_a calamity_n that_o be_v about_o to_o come_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o christ_n endeavour_v to_o withdraw_v their_o sorrow_n from_o the_o wrong_n and_o fix_v it_o on_o the_o right_a object_n and_o to_o this_o end_n he_o show_v they_o why_o they_o shall_v not_o weep_v and_o why_o they_o shall_v weep_v not_o for_o i_o but_o for_o yourselves_o and_o for_o your_o child_n two_o observation_n lie_v before_o we_o in_o the_o text._n the_o first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o unlawful_a nor_o unfit_a sometime_o to_o
