will_v mourn_v for_o outward_a affliction_n less_o when_o once_o the_o conscience_n be_v touch_v with_o a_o penitential_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n it_o will_v then_o cease_v sorrow_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o worldly_a comfort_n oh_o beloved_n the_o let_v your_o sorrow_n run_v out_o upon_o sin_n will_v divert_v they_o from_o any_o other_o object_n because_o when_o once_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o

therefore_o if_o you_o will_v weep_v as_o if_o you_o weep_v not_o for_o outward_a trouble_n weep_v more_o for_o sin_n and_o the_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o your_o own_o heart_n i_o may_v say_v of_o sorrow_n as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o fear_n in_o esay_n 8.12,13_o say_v the_o text_n fear_v not_o their_o fear_n neither_o be_v afraid_a but_o sanctify_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n himself_o and_o let_v he_o be_v your_o fear_n and_o let_v he_o be_v your_o dread_n they_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n will_v not_o fear_v man_n they_o that_o have_v a_o religious_a fear_n will_v not_o have_v a_o worldly_a fear_n so_o if_o you_o have_v a_o godly_a sorrow_n for_o sin_n it_o will_v keep_v you_o from_o any_o immoderate_a worldly_a sorrow_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v wish_v when_o you_o find_v your_o sorrow_n break_v out_o for_o the_o loss_n of_o worldly_a comfort_n and_o thing_n go_v crossse_n with_o you_o here_o below_o that_o you_o will_v consider_v that_o you_o have_v great_a evil_n

whether_o the_o scale_n of_o your_o spiritual_a comfort_n do_v not_o exceed_o weigh_v down_o the_o other_o and_o if_o god_n make_v your_o spiritual_a mercy_n to_o outvie_v your_o outward_a
