these_o kind_n of_o work_n in_o jacob_n spirit_n you_o can_v but_o conceive_v that_o it_o must_v draw_v tear_n he_o weep_v before_o the_o angel_n consider_v this_o his_o sore_a distress_a condition_n

as_o we_o intimate_v before_o that_o god_n do_v for_o jacob_n that_o ever_o he_o do_v to_o man_n therefore_o god_n will_v bring_v he_o very_o low_a before_o he_o will_v raise_v he_o so_o high_a and_o make_v he_o fall_v a_o weep_n aswell_o as_o pray_v before_o he_o shall_v have_v the_o mercy_n oh_o this_o be_v god_n way_n he_o will_v bring_v man_n very_o low_a to_o humble_v they_o before_o they_o shall_v have_v mercy_n therefore_o when_o man_n heart_n be_v high_a and_o lofty_a stout_a and_o hard_a they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n from_o god_n but_o when_o man_n heart_n begin_v to_o break_v thaw_n and_o melt_v and_o be_v tender_a than_o they_o be_v in_o a_o way_n of_o mercy_n as_o here_o so_o we_o find_v it_o often_o in_o scripture_n that_o god_n intend_v mercy_n first_o break_v the_o heart_n and_o melt_v it_o by_o mourning_n and_o sorrow_v as_o josiah_n you_o know_v that_o be_v his_o condition_n his_o heart_n melt_v when_o he_o hear_v the_o law_n and_o god_n send_v

shall_v be_v the_o way_n one_o note_n or_o two_o more_o it_o become_v the_o most_o generous_a and_o magnanimous_a spirit_n to_o have_v his_o heart_n break_v and_o to_o express_v note_n his_o heart_n break_v with_o tear_n before_o god_n it_o be_v a_o excellent_a thing_n to_o see_v a_o man_n of_o a_o brave_a spirit_n strong_a and_o full_o of_o courage_n in_o any_o service_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o when_o he_o come_v to_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o god_n to_o have_v a_o melt_a tender_a and_o soft_a spirit_n in_o his_o deal_n with_o god_n if_o you_o shall_v see_v now_o a_o great_a captain_n or_o general_n that_o be_v brave_a and_o magnanimous_a when_o he_o be_v abroad_o in_o the_o field_n about_o any_o difficult_a work_n but_o when_o he_o come_v before_o god_n in_o prayer_n there_o he_o can_v weep_v like_o a_o child_n there_o he_o can_v mourn_v and_o lament_v and_o his_o heart_n break_v assoon_o as_o a_o child_n this_o be_v a_o excellent_a spirit_n now_o spirit_n that_o can_v turn_v according_a to_o what_o god_n call_v they_o to_o this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n can_v be_v stout_a and_o hardy_a in_o a_o work_n that_o require_v stoutness_n and_o can_v be_v soft_a tender_a and_o

break_v heart_a spirit_n to_o mix_v the_o work_n of_o grace_n thus_o it_o be_v most_o excellent_a and_o it_o become_v the_o most_o brave_a spirit_n in_o the_o world_n not_o only_o to_o fall_v down_o to_o prayer_n but_o to_o weep_v before_o the_o lord_n some_o man_n think_v it_o be_v too_o low_a a_o thing_n to_o fall_v a_o weep_n in_o prayer_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o womanish_a and_o a_o

that_o weep_v be_v not_o beneath_o a_o spirit_n brave_a spirit_n this_o be_v enough_o and_o also_o that_o of_o david_n no_o man_n do_v shed_v more_o tear_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n than_o

in_o all_o the_o book_n of_o god_n what_o sin_n be_v great_a than_o the_o sin_n of_o jerusalem_n against_o christ_n when_o he_o live_v and_o yet_o christ_n note_v look_v on_o jerusalem_n and_o weep_v

my_o brethren_n if_o the_o bowel_n of_o god_n mercy_n shall_v work_v towards_o we_o notwithstanding_o our_o great_a sin_n why_o shall_v 1._o not_o the_o bowel_n of_o our_o compassion_n work_v
