A67687	The holy mourner. Or An earnest invitation to religious mourning in general with a large declaration of the divine comforts, and the blessed effects which attend the performance of it. But more particularly to mourning in private, for our own personal iniquities, and the publick crying sins of the nation. To which are added, forms of devotion fitted to that pious exercise. By Erasmus Warren, rector of Worlington in Suffolk.	Warren, Erasmus.	1698 (1698)	Wing W967; ESTC R218442	210,205	385

can_v but_o heighten_v the_o degree_n of_o our_o baseness_n and_o help_v very_o much_o towards_o fill_v up_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o grow_a iniquity_n when_o we_o live_v well_o and_o keep_v on_o in_o a_o even_a course_n of_o religion_n if_o the_o pain_n we_o take_v have_v not_o be_v recompense_v with_o holy_a pleasure_n we_o may_v then_o have_v remit_v of_o our_o pious_a strictness_n and_o when_o we_o become_v careless_a may_v have_v think_v ourselves_o the_o less_o culpable_a but_o which_o of_o we_o can_v take_v up_o such_o a_o plea_n in_o his_o own_o defence_n and_o true_o allege_v that_o he_o be_v loose_a or_o licentious_a because_o he_o find_v no_o delight_n in_o holiness_n can_v any_o just_o complain_v that_o duty_n right_o perform_v by_o we_o be_v dry_a and_o barren_a and_o empty_a thing_n no_o no_o so_o long_o as_o we_o adhere_v to_o god_n and_o live_v in_o his_o fear_n he_o still_o feed_v we_o with_o spiritual_a satisfaction_n and_o perhaps_o with_o too_o many_o for_o mere_a plenty_n of_o these_o may_v have_v make_v we_o the_o more_o negligent_a and_o have_v he_o be_v less_o kind_a and_o liberal_a in_o this_o case_n we_o may_v have_v be_v more_o careful_a and_o sedulous_a but_o like_o unworthy_a and_o ingrateful_a servant_n we_o abate_v of_o our_o work_n because_o our_o great_a master_n raise_v our_o wage_n second_o we_o have_v sin_v against_o our_o experience_n of_o the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n and_o the_o trouble_n and_o terror_n occasion_v by_o its_o gild_n to_o how_o rueful_a a_o condition_n have_v our_o impiety_n ofttimes_o reduce_v we_o as_o the_o prophet_n complain_v isai_n 59.2_o it_o have_v separate_v between_o we_o and_o our_o god_n and_o have_v hide_v his_o face_n from_o we_o and_o beside_o deprive_v we_o of_o his_o presence_n

our_o uneasy_a circumstance_n or_o if_o we_o have_v not_o do_v thus_o in_o time_n of_o our_o health_n yet_o when_o sickness_n have_v seize_v we_o and_o weakness_n undermine_v we_o and_o death_n to_o

i_o may_v here_o add_v that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o sin_v against_o our_o own_o personal_a experience_n of_o the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n but_o also_o against_o the_o declare_a experience_n of_o

that_o shall_v death_n snatch_v they_o hence_o without_o far_a respite_n they_o be_v unfit_a for_o it_o and_o shall_v be_v most_o miserable_o undo_v by_o it_o through_o such_o and_o such_o presumptuous_a transgression_n but_o for_o all_o this_o death_n have_v then_o prevail_v and_o we_o have_v behold_v they_o die_v and_o die_v most_o piteous_o that_o be_v with_o reluctancy_n and_o unwillingness_n with_o doubt_n and_o scrupulosity_n with_o much_o fear_n and_o mighty_a terror_n and_o tremble_a apprehension_n and_o amazement_n and_o when_o god_n cut_v they_o off_o and_o remove_v they_o out_o of_o this_o world_n how_o he_o receive_v and_o where_o he_o place_v they_o in_o the_o next_o we_o can_v tell_v or_o we_o must_v not_o say_v but_o what_o have_v be_v the_o effect_n of_o this_o upon_o ourselves_o why_o we_o have_v sometime_o serious_o think_v of_o the_o accident_n and_o solemn_o reflect_v on_o the_o lower_a providence_n and_o the_o spectacle_n of_o this_o nature_n have_v occasion_v some_o grief_n and_o tear_n unto_o we_o in_o short_a we_o have_v remember_v the_o unhappy_a person_n with_o sadness_n and_o have_v talk_v of_o they_o a_o few_o day_n with_o

by_o ourselves_o or_o surety_n we_o open_o renounce_v the_o devil_n and_o all_o his_o work_n the_o vain_a pomp_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n with_o all_o the_o covetous_a desire_n of_o the_o
