have_v be_v say_v and_o so_o have_v do_v use_v use_v be_v it_o so_o that_o christian_n shall_v not_o be_v excessive_a in_o worldly_a sorrow_n but_o weep_v as_o if_o they_o weep_v not_o then_o this_o reprove_v those_o that_o can_v mourn_v for_o every_o cross_n that_o befall_v they_o but_o yet_o can_v shed_v a_o tear_n for_o any_o sin_n they_o commit_v many_o man_n complain_v of_o small_a inconsiderable_a trouble_n and_o affliction_n but_o yet_o never_o complain_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o corruption_n these_o never_o trouble_v they_o nor_o come_v near_o their_o heart_n they_o can_v mourn_v for_o that_o which_o can_v but_o at_o most_o prejudice_n the_o body_n and_o yet_o never_o grieve_v for_o that_o which_o can_v prejudice_v and_o destroy_v their_o soul_n 2._o i_o beseech_v you_o belove_v take_v heed_n of_o be_v lavish_a of_o your_o tear_n for_o worldly_a cross_n or_o affliction_n it_o be_v pity_n to_o wash_v a_o foul_a room_n with_o sweet_a water_n i_o must_v needs_o tell_v you_o tear_n be_v too_o precious_a to_o sh●d_v for_o every_o trifle_n it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_o you_o will_v keep_v this_o precious_a water_n to_o wash_v away_o your_o sin_n for_o though_o it_o be_v christ_n blood_n alone_o that_o can_v wash_v away_o the_o guilt_n of_o sin_n yet_o your_o tear_n may_v much_o conduce_v to_o wash_v away_o the_o filth_n and_o power_n of_o sin_n when_o you_o mourn_v for_o worldly_a cross_n then_o weep_v as_o if_o you_o weep_v not_o but_o when_o you_o mourn_v for_o sin_n mourn_v as_o much_o as_o you_o can_v be_v like_o you_o before_o the_o sun_n that_o will_v soon_o melt_v and_o convert_v into_o water_n you_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n know_v that_o you_o have_v great_a thing_n and_o of_o high_a concernment_n to_o bestow_v your_o tear_n upon_o than_o any_o outward_a trouble_n you_o have_v daily_a fail_n and_o many_o sin_n and_o corruption_n unmortified_a and_o unsubdued_a and_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o light_n of_o god_n countenance_n to_o mourn_v for_o your_o sorrow_n never_o run_v aright_o but_o when_o they_o run_v in_o this_o channel_n when_o your_o tear_n run_v into_o the_o millpond_n to_o grind_v your_o lust_n and_o corruption_n to_o consume_v and_o weaken_v they_o then_o be_v your_o sorrow_n right_a and_o regular_a last_o let_v i_o entreat_v and_o advise_v you_o not_o to_o mistake_v in_o reference_n to_o your_o sorrow_n to_o think_v you_o do_v mourn_v and_o grieve_v for_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v only_o for_o outward_a affliction_n many_o man_n when_o their_o neighbour_n ask_v they_o why_o they_o be_v so_o sad_a and_o mournful_a and_o weep_v so_o much_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v it_o be_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o fail_n and_o corruption_n that_o be_v too_o strong_a for_o they_o or_o the_o like_a when_o indeed_o it_o be_v only_o for_o some_o cross_n or_o outward_a trouble_n they_o have_v meet_v with_o therefore_o do_v not_o mistake_v that_o sorrow_n to_o be_v for_o your_o sin_n which_o be_v only_o or_o especial_o for_o some_o outward_a affliction_n you_o have_v meet_v with_o sermon_n 2._o we_o come_v now_o to_o the_o three_o question_n which_o i_o shall_v spend_v this_o whole_a

that_o you_o will_v i_o proceed_v now_o to_o lay_v down_o some_o other_o plea_n which_o corrupt_a nature_n make_v to_o divert_v we_o from_o duty_n i_o have_v lay_v down_o eight_o already_o the_o next_o in_o order_n be_v this_o 9_o from_o the_o austerity_n that_o man_n perceive_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n what_o will_v the_o flesh_n tell_v a_o man_n if_o thou_o devote_a thyself_o to_o

of_o holiness_n and_o to_o this_o i_o have_v three_o thing_n to_o answer_v 1._o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o austerity_n in_o the_o exercise_n of_o religion_n now_o under_o the_o gospel_n as_o there_o be_v under_o the_o law_n the_o worship_n under_o the_o law_n be_v a_o very_a austere_a worship_n they_o be_v to_o sacrifice_v their_o bullock_n out_o of_o the_o stall_n and_o their_o sheep_n

god_n do_v not_o require_v you_o to_o offer_v your_o beast_n for_o a_o sacrifice_n but_o rather_o your_o lust_n he_o require_v not_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v laborious_a and_o painful_a he_o require_v not_o the_o circumcision_n of_o your_o flesh_n but_o the_o circumcision_n of_o your_o heart_n that_o man_n which_o complain_v of_o the_o austerity_n of_o gospel-duty_n if_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n he_o will_v then_o complain_v much_o more_o gospel-ordinance_n they_o be_v easy_a christ_n call_v all_o such_o as_o be_v weary_a &_o heavy-laden_a to_o come_v to_o he_o 11.28,29,30_o matth._n 11.28,29,30_o &_o they_o shall_v find_v rest_n and_o to_o take_v his_o yoke_n upon_o they_o and_o to_o learn_v of_o he_o for_o his_o yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n be_v light_a the_o invitation_n be_v to_o embrace_v the_o christian_a religion_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o jewish_a religion_n which_o be_v a_o heavy_a yoke_n but_o say_v christ_n take_v my_o yoke_n for_o it_o be_v

because_o thou_o fear_v thereby_o thou_o shall_v be_v abridge_v of_o thy_o joy_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o world_n consider_v that_o the_o duty_n of_o religion_n they_o will_v not_o extirpate_v and_o nullify_v thy_o joy_n but_o only_o regulate_v they_o not_o remove_v but_o raise_v your_o delight_n religion_n it_o be_v not_o a_o mattock_n to_o dig_v up_o your_o joy_n by_o the_o root_n but_o a_o

joy_n of_o a_o believer_n it_o be_v a_o joy_n unspeakable_a and_o a_o joy_n full_a of_o glory_n 10._o another_o plea_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n be_v this_o that_o you_o have_v do_v enough_o already_o that_o you_o have_v spend_v so_o many_o year_n in_o a_o course_n of_o religion_n so_o many_o year_n you_o have_v be_v a_o professor_n and_o what_o need_v you_o more_o thus_o jehu_n he_o think_v he_o
