But the godly man, as he rejoiceth at the beauty of Gods house, so when contrariwise he seeth the same disordered filthily, when he seeth the Sacraments of God abused, the trueth trodden under foot, the people mocked, the name of god dishonoured, he cannot but lament & mourn, and find himself wounded at heart. When the good king Josiah saw the book of god, which was so long hid in y• wall, & out of remembrance: when he considered the blindness, in which they had lived, & the unkindness of their forefathers, he could not forbear, but fell a weeping: he feared least god would take vengeance upon them for so great contempt of his word. When Jeremiah saw the wilfulness, and frowardness of the people, 1which would not submit themselves, and be obedient unto god, he cried, Oh, that my head were full of water, & mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and height ⟨image 65⟩&c. Such care had they for Gods people: thus the zeal of Gods house had eaten them up.

When the good king Iosias saw the booke of god, whiche was so long hid in y• wall, & out of remēbrance: when he considered the blindenes, in which they had liued, & the vnkindnes of their forfathers, he could not forbeare, but fell a weeping: he feared least god would take vengeance vpō thē for so great cōtempt of his word. Whē Ieremy saw the wilfulnes, and frowardnesse of the people, 1which would not submit themselues, and be obedient vnto god, he cryed, Oh, that my head were ful of water, & mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and hight ⟨image 65⟩&c.
