3The third is a sorrow for sin, which is a pain and pricking in the heart arising of the feeling of the displeasure of god, & of the just damnation which followeth after sin. This was in ther Jews after Peters first sermon: and in Habakkuk at the hearing of Gods judgements:s When I heard (saith he) my belly trembled: my lips shook at thy voice: rottenness entered into my bones: and I trembled in my self, that I might rest in the day of trouble. This sorrow is called the tspirit of bondage to fear: because when the spirit hath made a man see his sins, he seeth further the curse of the Law; and so he finds himself to be in bondage under satan, hell, death, and damnation: at which most terrible sight his heart is smitten with fear and trembling, through the consideration of his hellish and damnable estate.
