their_o heart_n oh_o little_a do_v such_o know_v what_o they_o do_v for_o now_o they_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n which_o do_v move_v they_o to_o turn_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o do_v refuse_v to_o accept_v of_o his_o gracious_a offer_n of_o mercy_n and_o favour_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v be_v the_o lord_n in_o his_o justice_n will_v deny_v they_o the_o like_a for_o ever_o

〈…〉_o our_o to_o bewail_v our_o sin_n with_o a_o 〈◊〉_d lamentation_n such_o as_o be_v mention_v in_o this_o text_n viz._n that_o we_o mourn_v as_o one_o will_v do_v for_o the_o death_n of_o his_o first_o bear_v and_o as_o the_o jew_n do_v for_o josiah_n when_o he_o be_v slay_v in_o the_o valley_n of_o megiddo_n object_n but_o will_n some_o say_v if_o this_o be_v require_v of_o all_o true_a

bitterness_n of_o his_o heart_n so_o that_o the_o people_n may_v hear_v he_o but_o godly_a lamentation_n be_v more_o last_a and_o durable_a so_o that_o the_o one_o may_v be_v well_o compare_v to_o a_o

godly_a sorrow_n may_v be_v liken_v to_o a_o still_a and_o constant_a rain_n which_o enter_v more_o deep_o into_o the_o ground_n and_o remain_v long_o and_o do_v more_o good_a a_o great_a deal_n than_o a_o sudden_a violent_a and_o tempestuous_a shower_n and_o herein_o let_v these_o be_v judge_n 〈…〉_o who_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o be_v acquaint_v with_o the_o way_n of_o god_n and_o let_v they_o speak_v who_o have_v have_v the_o great_a cross_n and_o have_v be_v even_o drunken_a with_o wormwood_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v let_v they_o i_o say_v speak_v and_o

conceive_v for_o they_o and_o whether_o the_o sin_n of_o their_o youth_n do_v not_o more_o constant_o vex_v and_o torment_v they_o than_o all_o the_o affliction_n of_o their_o youth_n do_v and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o may_v it_o well_o be_v conclude_v that_o their_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n be_v great_a though_o it_o be_v not_o always_o so_o boisterous_a and_o bitter_a for_o the_o present_a and_o

of_o we_o as_o be_v governor_n of_o family_n take_v the_o way_n to_o have_v piety_n ground_v in_o their_o heart_n that_o be_v about_o we_o that_o so_o our_o house_n may_v be_v little_a church_n as_o

that_o if_o there_o be_v unfeigned_a repentance_n in_o the_o party_n offend_v as_o there_o be_v in_o the_o good_a thief_n on_o the_o cross_n their_o soul_n may_v be_v save_v and_o their_o name_n
