the_o preacher_n be_v most_o high_o commend_v not_o when_o the_o people_n clap_v their_o hand_n but_o when_o they_o knock_v their_o bteast_n wherefore_o as_o that_o be_v a_o idol_n and_o no_o god_n that_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v not_o so_o he_o be_v a_o idle_a shepherd_n and_o no_o love_a pastor_n who_o have_v eye_n and_o weep_v nor_o sometime_o in_o preach_v to_o the_o people_n 3._o touch_v prayer_n saint_n james_n say_v that_o the_o prayer_n of_o a_o just_a man_n prevail_v much_o if_o it_o be_v fervent_a for_o a_o fervent_a prayer_n come_v from_o a_o fervent_a spirit_n which_o be_v whole_o inspire_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n who_o make_v request_n in_o we_o and_o for_o we_o with_o sigh_n and_o groan_n which_o can_v be_v express_v as_o it_o be_v psalm_n 147._o 18._o he_o send_v out_o his_o word_n and_o melt_v they_o he_o breathe_v out_o his_o spirit_n and_o the_o water_n flow_v he_o breathe_v out_o his_o spirit_n when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n move_v we_o to_o prayer_n and_o the_o water_n flow_v when_o the_o water_n trickle_v down_o from_o our_o eye_n for_o as_o a_o seethe_a pot_n run_v over_o so_o be_v a_o holy_a hart_n in_o prayer_n the_o olive_n tree_n be_v most_o abundant_a in_o fruit_n when_o it_o be_v distil_v and_o a_o christian_a be_v most_o plentiful_a and_o powerful_a in_o prayer_n when_o he_o weep_v whereupon_o king_n david_n say_v i_o be_o as_o a_o green_a olive_n tree_n in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o our_o saviour_n himself_o go_v often_o to_o the_o mount_n of_o olive_n where_o he_o offer_v up_o prayer_n and_o supplication_n with_o strong_a cry_v and_o tear_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v we_o also_o to_o have_v faith_n as_o a_o graint_n of_o muster_v seed_n now_o muster_v seed_n you_o know_v make_v the_o eye_n weep_v so_o that_o he_o which_o in_o prayer_n have_v faith_n like_o a_o grain_n of_o musterde_v seed_n have_v his_o eye_n also_o as_o the_o fishpool_n of_o heshbone_n and_o there_o christ_n say_v as_o it_o be_v in_o cantic_a 4._o 9_o 5._o thou_o have_v wound_v my_o heart_n with_o one_o of_o thy_o eye_n it_o with_o one_o then_o much_o more_o with_o both_o for_o as_o synesius_n say_v in_o his_o 67._o epistle_n weep_v be_v more_o flexible_a more_o forcible_a to_o persuade_v god_n and_o even_o to_o wound_v his_o heart_n than_o all_o the_o eloquence_n than_o all_o the_o rhetoric_n in_o the_o world_n cyprian_n say_v quando_fw-la spiritus_fw-la hominis_fw-la aspirat_fw-la spiritus_fw-la dei_fw-la suspirat_fw-la when_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n send_v out_o sigh_n in_o prayer_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n give_v grace_n and_o ambrose_n say_v god_n look_v that_o we_o shall_v pour_v out_o our_o tear_n that_o he_o may_v pour_v out_o his_o mercy_n as_o ezechias_n lie_v ficke_n pray_v and_o pray_v

therefore_o god_n say_v to_o he_o i_o have_v hear_v thy_o prayer_n and_o thy_o tear_n a_o strange_a speech_n i_o have_v hear_v thy_o prayer_n that_o i_o understand_v well_o enough_o but_o i_o have_v hear_v thy_o tear_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o trow_v you_o have_v tear_n tongue_n or_o can_v they_o speak_v yes_o indeed_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o speak_v it_o the_o thunder_n of_o the_o almighty_a can_v make_v such_o a_o mighty_a sound_n such_o a_o noise_n in_o the_o ear_n of_o man_n as_o the_o tear_n of_o man_n do_v in_o the_o ear_n of_o god_n psalm_n 39_o 12._o therefore_o david_n both_o before_o he_o have_v pray_v desire_v god_n to_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o tear_n and_o also_o after_o he_o have_v play_v psal._n 6._o 8._o he_o thank_v god_n because_o he_o have_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o his_o weep_n for_o indeed_o he_o also_o himself_o say_v of_o himself_o psalm_n 109._o i_o mingle_v my_o drink_n with_o weep_v and_o where_o be_v this_o drink_n of_o his_o but_o in_o the_o cup_n of_o which_o he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n i_o will_v take_v the_o cup_n of_o salvation_n and_o call_v upon_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o as_o david_n mingle_v his_o drink_n with_o weep_v so_o he_o mingle_v his_o prayer_n with_o weep_v wherefore_o as_o elizeus_fw-la cast_v salt_n into_o the_o water_n of_o jericho_n to_o make_v they_o sweet_a so_o must_v we_o salt_v our_o prayer_n with_o tear_n to_o make_v they_o savoury_a and_o delightsome_a to_o god_n a_o man_n can_v never_o love_v himself_o aright_o if_o he_o do_v not_o sometime_o weep_v in_o repentance_n nor_o his_o neighbour_n that_o do_v not_o sometime_o weep_v in_o preach_v nor_o god_n that_o do_v not_o sometime_o weep_v in_o prayer_n so_o that_o we_o must_v not_o be_v like_o the_o stoic_n which_o be_v never_o move_v than_o we_o shall_v weep_v too_o little_a as_o this_o second_o part_n show_v but_o weep_v the_o three_o part_n be_v weep_v not_o but_o weep_v which_o note_v see_v both_o the_o excess_n and_o defect_n be_v to_o be_v eschew_v that_o therefore_o the_o true_a mean_a which_o we_o must_v keep_v in_o weep_v consist_v in_o this_o equal_a intermingle_v of_o these_o two_o extremity_n weep_v not_o but_o weep_v both_o together_o weep_v not_o too_o much_o say_v he_o for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o nature_n but_o weep_v too_o little_a be_v contrary_a to_o repentance_n weep_v not_o too_o much_o for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n but_o weep_v too_o little_a be_v contrary_a to_o preach_v weep_v not_o too_o much_o for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o religion_n but_o weep_v too_o little_a be_v contrary_a to_o prayer_n saint_n paul_n charge_v timothy_n to_o be_v instant_a in_o season_n &_o out_o of_o season_n first_o in_o season_n than_o out_o of_o season_n teach_v thereby_o that_o that_o unseasonable_a opportunity_n be_v better_a than_o seasonable_a importunity_n yet_o to_o keep_v a_o mean_a in_o exhort_v that_o we_o must_v as_o well_o use_v importunity_n sometime_o so_o it_o be_v in_o season_n as_o to_o slack_v a_o opportunity_n always_o though_o it_o be_v out_o of_o season_n even_o so_o say_v our_o saviour_n here_o weep_v not_o but_o weep_v first_o weep_v not_o then_o but_o weep_v teach_v thereby_o that_o not_o to_o weep_v be_v better_a than_o to_o weep_v yet_o to_o keep_v a_o mean_a in_o weep_v that_o we_o sometime_o in_o not_o weep_v weep_v as_o always_o in_o weep_v not_o weep_v for_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o they_o which_o rejoice_v must_v be_v as_o if_o they_o rejoice_v not_o and_o they_o that_o weep_v as_o though_o they_o weep_v not_o they_o which_o rejoice_v must_v be_v as_o if_o they_o rejoice_v not_o because_o say_v gregory_n write_v upon_o the_o 27._o of_o job_n all_o the_o joy_n which_o the_o godly_a have_v in_o this_o life_n be_v as_o a_o sour_a grape_n gather_v out_o of_o time_n and_o ambrose_n say_v the_o child_n of_o god_n not_o only_o in_o sorrow_n but_o in_o joy_n shed_v tear_n they_o rejoice_v as_o though_o they_o rejoice_v not_o and_o they_o that_o weep_v must_v be_v as_o if_o they_o weep_v not_o because_o say_v macarius_n in_o his_o 5._o homily_n even_o tear_n be_v a_o comfort_n to_o the_o righteous_a and_o ambrose_n again_o to_o they_o that_o be_v well_o affect_v weep_v be_v a_o great_a delight_n they_o weep_v as_o though_o they_o weep_v not_o therefore_o as_o certain_a heavenly_a apple_n have_v a_o sweetish_a sowerne_n and_o some_o old_a wine_n have_v a_o sowrish_n sweetness_n so_o our_o sorrow_n must_v be_v joyful_a and_o our_o joy_n sorrowful_a our_o joy_n must_v be_v sorrowful_a as_o when_o christ_n weep_v there_o be_v a_o sorrowful_a joy_n but_o christ_n weep_v upon_o palm_n sunday_n there_o be_v a_o joyful_a sorrow_n for_o joyful_a sorrow_n when_o the_o israelite_n eat_v the_o paschall_n lamb_n there_o be_v a_o joyful_a sorrow_n but_o they_o eat_v it_o with_o sour_a herb_n there_o be_v a_o sorrowful_a joy_n we_o must_v be_v as_o weep_v and_o yet_o always_o rejoice_v and_o we_o must_v be_v as_o rejoice_v and_o yet_o always_o weep_v and_o join_v both_o together_o weep_v not_o but_o weep_v weep_v not_o this_o be_v a_o fiery_a speech_n as_o when_o s._n john_n say_v reu._n 19_o 11._o that_o christ_n eye_n be_v as_o a_o flame_n of_o fire_n that_o be_v subject_a now_o to_o no_o weep_n but_o weep_v this_o be_v a_o watery_a speech_n as_o when_o david_n say_v i_o water_v my_o couch_n with_o my_o tear_n so_o that_o if_o we_o can_v reconcile_v these_o two_o speech_n together_o we_o must_v reconcile_v fire_n and_o water_n together_o in_o elias_n his_o sacrifice_n 1._o king_n 18._o 38._o there_o be_v both_o fire_n and_o water_n so_o that_o the_o fire_n of_o the_o lord_n
