be_v simple_a because_o god_n be_v dishonour_v and_o further_o in_o sorrow_n for_o our_o own_o sin_n we_o must_v mourn_v for_o all_o sort_n of_o sin_n for_o lesser_a sin_n as_o well_o as_o great_a 5._o for_o sin_n of_o our_o call_n for_o secret_a sin_n as_o well_o as_o open_v for_o sin_n that_o presntlie_o trouble_v we_o as_o well_o as_o for_o sin_n past_a 7._o for_o the_o sin_n fear_v and_o

there_o be_v two_o note_n of_o great_a use_n in_o trial_n of_o sorrow_n for_o our_o sin_n the_o one_o be_v that_o we_o must_v sorrow_n for_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v sin_n and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v not_o easy_o satisfy_v himself_o in_o the_o measure_n till_o he_o can_v mourn_v as_o much_o for_o sin_n as_o he_o be_v wont_a or_o now_o will_v for_o loss_n the_o prophet_n

that_o tear_n be_v not_o of_o necessity_n and_o special_o in_o such_o nature_n as_o be_v void_a of_o tear_n for_o any_o other_o cause_n second_o in_fw-la asmuch_o as_o sorrow_n may_v be_v godly_a even_o for_o judgement_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o herein_o our_o trial_n will_v be_v 137._o if_o we_o can_v mourn_v rather_o for_o spiritual_a judgement_n 4_o then_o for_o temporal_a and_o among_o the_o rest_n if_o we_o can_v feel_v and_o bewail_v hardness_n of_o heart_n 17_o mourn_v because_o we_o camnotmourne_a as_o we_o ought_v and_o far_o if_o we_o can_v be_v grieve_v as_o well_o for_o the_o offence_n of_o god_n as_o for_o punishment_n three_o a_o christian_n be_v principal_o stir_v up_o in_o true_a sorrow_n by_o the_o sense_n of_o god_n goodness_n so_o as_o nothing_o do_v more_o fire_n he_o to_o a_o desire_n to_o abase_v himself_o and_o to_o humble_v himself_o even_o in_o the_o very_a dust_n in_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o own_o vileness_n then_o to_o feel_v and_o find_v the_o gracious_a goodness_n and_o readiness_n of_o god_n to_o show_v mercy_n 3._o he_o fear_v the_o lord_n and_o his_o goodness_n and_o as_o godly_a sorrow_n be_v raise_v by_o spiritual_a mean_n and_o consideration_n so_o it_o be_v assuage_v only_o by_o spiritual_a mean_n those_o sorrow_n that_o can_v be_v heal_v by_o sport_n merry_a company_n or_o the_o like_a be_v much_o like_o the_o medecine_n use_v to_o help_v they_o but_o in_o godly_a sorrow_n 3._o the_o same_o god_n that_o wound_v they_o must_v heal_v and_o a_o christian_n desire_n help_v from_o the_o same_o word_n that_o pierce_v he_o

at_o sin_n and_o fervent_a affection_n in_o god_n service_n whereas_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o wicked_a at_o least_o be_v either_o dull_a and_o cold_a or_o transport_v by_o the_o wrong_n end_n to_o the_o favour_n of_o sin_n secondlie_o they_o be_v constant_a both_o because_o they_o be_v renew_a daily_a as_o the_o metaphor_n of_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n do_v import_v as_o also_o because_o they_o

desire_n to_o commit_v sin_n so_o do_v the_o regenerate_a desire_n to_o forsake_v but_o the_o former_a in_o some_o sin_n do_v commit_v they_o with_o a_o desire_n ever_o to_o sin_n and_o a_o secret_a
