while_n they_o neglect_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v now_o this_o aught_o chief_o to_o be_v respect_v in_o our_o sorrow_n for_o although_o we_o howl_v with_o a_o blind_a

of_o bruit_n beast_n but_o when_o we_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o hand_n that_o smite_v that_o be_v the_o true_a and_o right_o frame_v sorrow_n in_o this_o sense_n jeremiah_n say_v the_o jew_n

but_o that_o they_o receive_v no_o correction_n albeit_o he_o consume_v they_o in_o this_o second_o member_n he_o touch_v that_o which_o i_o former_o tell_v you_o namely_o that_o this_o sorrow_n

thereat_o he_o add_v that_o they_o harden_v their_o face_n like_o a_o stone_n in_o a_o word_n that_o they_o will_v not_o return_v the_o prophet_n signify_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v not_o only_o

integrity_n of_o the_o heart_n have_v go_v before_o as_o we_o have_v say_v but_o it_o often_o fall_v out_o that_o even_o the_o most_o wicked_a be_v full_a of_o impiety_n of_o the_o contempt_n of_o god_n and_o rebellion_n also_o will_v yet_o be_v smite_v with_o some_o shame_n and_o remorse_n but_o the_o prophet_n to_o show_v that_o the_o jew_n be_v grow_v to_o the_o height_n of_o all_o impiety_n say_v they_o harden_v their_o face_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o be_v utter_o impudent_a in_o regard_n they_o have_v reject_v all_o honesty_n and_o difference_n between_o good_a and_o bad_a of_o
