1. Not the tears themselves, considered in themselves, bring forth the joyful crop, but the sowing in tears; Esau his tears were shed to no purpose: and in hell there will be weeping and wailing, but because there is no sowing, no good comes of it. It is only the precious seed (in vers. 6.) that affords the good sheaves: and it is required it be godly sorrow, 1that we mourn for the absence of the Bridegroom, and that we faint not when we sow, 2neither in faith nor obedience. In due time ye shall reap, if ye faint not. It were unreasonable to sow in September and look to reap in October. No, stay till the month of harvest, and then see what blessing God will give: The husband-man hath patience, &c. Jam. 5.7.
